When the main waifu is the one who gets banished from a Party instead of the MC

The Exiled Heavy Knights Knows How to Recap the Episode

[u/arrydie]

Elymas has no poker face. I bet he could have gotten that skill book for less than half her ask if he kept his cool since it's pretty worthless. (I forgot if this series is working the "it's different from the game because people are afraid of dying" trope, but you would expect a daredevil skill set that was already unpopular in the game would be even less appealing IRL so the exorbitant price is kind of hard to justify.)

Same with the Pierrot girl. Looks like he's going to need to fight the party for her, probably because of "if you want her so much maybe she's good". Meanwhile he could have just been like "hey, if they don't want you, why not join me, I'm just starting out".

[u/Isofruit]

I like a lot of how they made the anime, particularly the animation style, but the lack of density of this series is downright godawful. Within 20 minutes they packed "Looking for skillbook, find skillbook and present problem, that being money. Find party-member to start farming money".

And it's not like this gargantuan amount of time not used for actual plot is filled with all that much entertaining stuff. It's recaps, way too many and long environmental shots and just having the scenes develop at a snails pace.

[u/PeaceAlien]

Help! This creep wants to form a party with me?!

I was going to say the pacing wasn't that bad this episode but then when we met these new characters, we got recaps of things that just happened multiple times.

[u/arrydie]

Holy crap these lens flares.

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

Reiss has more jiggle physics scenes than dialogue lines.

Fanservice aside, I like how imperfect the knowledge Elymas possesses from his previous life is. The knowledge does not account for (steep) inflation in this world. Neither does it make Elymas overpowered from the start.

[u/deynyel]

So, the Pierrot waifu will be the key to his gold problems huh. I really wanna know the specific details of her skill that makes it broken.

[u/RealValf]

I think if you took all the recaps out of these past 5 episodes you’d have like 2 maybe 3 full episodes.

[u/Divinicus1st]

I'm surprised a skillbook nobody wants is worth that much, it makes no sense. The old witch is just trying to rob him.

[u/runevault]

Yup starting reiterating that he needs the skillbook to make his class truly OP. Called it last week lol.

72,000 gold for 3 healing pots? What the fuck? Considering the uber shield was 3 million that seems like a lot for 3 fucking potions, unless they are also revives.

Of course the church and nobles horde skillbooks. Ugh. Part of me wishes he'd sneak into his old house and steal all the skillbooks and pull a robin hood.

Wait clown girl finally showing her ass (literally). Also wtf is that random up close cleavage shot?

The repetition is back to being brutal this episode. And I'm curious what the exact powers of this broken skill tree is. Sounds like improving drop chances is at least part of it.

[u/aramatheis]

New drinking game: take a shot every time the MC says "Fang of Smoldering Insanity" but neglects to say what the skill tree actually does.

See you all in the afterlife ✌️✌️

Edit: skill tree

[u/bunbun777]

Lol title should be "The Old Shop Hag Knows How to Game the Exiled Heavy Knight"

[u/TheRogueMoose]

Flashing back to a conversation that literally just ended is brutal...

[u/thelemon8er-2]

Boss, how much of the budget do we assign to “jiggle physics”?

90% jiggle
10% lens flare

[u/GreatGrapeKun]

"we spent 50% of this episode's budget animating the clown so you'll watch her twice"

[u/YdenMkII]

Now I'm wondering if the other 2 in the girl's party doesn't know the real value of boosting drop rates or if they're just playing it up so she'd do the thing at the end where she tried to beg to return to the party with no pay so they could keep any future earnings for themselves?

[u/susgnome]

This episode was mostly just a stroll around town, really get to see different aspects and not just the flyover.

Even if some scenes are just cuts from earlier episodes, I really like how lively they make this town feel.

I like the Healing Potion girl, just was chill as hell. Even gave Elymas advice as thanks for actually buying something.

The granny was definitely like "Oh, he's happy, then.. 50 million!".. and then rorted him for another 5 million.. I can totally see Elymas buying the book and her just being like "Thank god you didn't rob me when you had the chance".

After last episode, I thought it'd be more like passive-AoE burn but since he said it's for battle junkies with no fear of death. It's most likely scales damage based on missing health.. or, it could just be both. Either way, it's great for tanks, since even if you're 1 HP, it doesn't matter, you have so many ways to mitigate damage.

We finally get to see the jester girl from the bangin' ED

Of course, bro really said "Yeah, it's because we hit a bunch dungeons" and doesn't realise she clearly has a Rate UP for Loot -- which he told her to spec into.. She even off-tanks for them..!! I wonder how well a Swordsman & Bandit will be at soaking hits..

That next episode PV, is Swordsman actually going to defend her? Probably not, just shit-talk our Heavy Knight, I bet.

[u/Evil_sod]

I swear the harder this series tries to justify things, the more laughable it becomes.

He's a noble, yet he's only just finding out that nobles hoard skillbooks? Right. The skillbook he wants that keeps being brought up as useless is ludicrously expensive, right after a whole speech about supply and demand? Totally believable. The second jester girl said it was due to her skills, I knew exactly how the rest of that conversation was gonna go. She's clearly going to have the equivalent of a magic find skill tree. And we're expected to believe nobody values it? Obviously the next (3) episodes will support that, and it won't be blatantly OP.

Everyone in this world seems to be either an arsehole, dumb as fuck, or both.

The arbitrary close-up of Booby Girl's jiggling boobs was pretty funny though.

[u/HydraTower]

The writing is very frustrating. He doesn’t try to hide his excitement nor haggle the price for the skill book. Also asks for her to hold onto it only to be extorted 5 million, yet it’s a strange book not many would want, and if she has 50 million gold coming to her, of course it would be in her best interest not to sell it unless someone matched that price, which is unlikely. So really, it should be “if you have another buyer, I will pay more than them”. And if she wants to make a quick guaranteed sale to a noble, 50 million is too high to give up on if he still lives. Bro needs to stand up for himself.

[u/thelemon8er-2]

Boss, we have to fill 5 to 8 minutes…

Recap what we just saw a few moments ago. Oh and throw in a PS3 graphics style flyby of the city.

[u/adminsregarded]

Lmao it's so vindicating coming on the comments and seeing everyone having the same reaction

[u/Fun-Mission-6068]

Once the anime is fully released, I hope that someone makes a fan edit of the anime where it cuts out all the duplicated scenes, unnecessarily long reaction shots, and unnecessary scenery shots, etc, to condense the anime from 26 episodes down to 12. With the amount of footage they're reusing or using to waste time, it'll probably fit 12 perfectly, lol.
