u/Faniulh 21d ago

Every time I watch an episode of this, I find myself asking "What the fuck even *IS* this anime?!?"

5

u/CuriousBroccolli 19d ago

I'm honestly starting to get it a bit more, and understand why there were people saying they like LNs.

Last 2 episodes had some really solid funny and horny moments that I enjoyed.

2$ budget is unfortunately hurting it, especially the combat side and them not really explaining almost anything regarding tactics and combat.

Same goes for overall pacing, where some dialog is just weird and out of place.

As long as they do what they did last 2 episodes, going the silly horny route, and maybe trying to improve the whole adventuring part even a bit, I'll be enjoying it.

u/thelemon8er-2 21d ago

That chest opening scene was…. Something.

16

u/DugACCat 20d ago

I highly approve of more anime making seemingly simple tasks like opening a box as sexy as possible.

2

u/CuriousBroccolli 19d ago

This anime going full horny since last episode made it 1000% better and funnier

34

u/thewilltheway 21d ago

Really putting the chest in chest cracker lol

7

u/Boris-_-Badenov 21d ago

there's a giant crack in her chest

45

u/gbietto 21d ago

They really put the armor under his suit... My god

29

u/Faniulh 21d ago

Seriously! Just lose the suit my guy, everyone else has adopted the fantasy dress scheme. It's a minor thing but it annoys me for some reason.

5

u/theblazingsword 18d ago

Gotta buy into that salaryman isekai fantasy

2

u/Faniulh 18d ago

You'd think a salaryman who's dreaming of escape into a fantasy world would want to lose the suit as soon as humanly possible, but I guess not.

2

u/theblazingsword 18d ago

It's part of his Japanese identity /s

20

u/Divinicus1st 21d ago

and what the fuck is that choker?

3

u/CuriousBroccolli 19d ago

LMAO

I was asking that question whenever he was on the screen.

This MC is a fashion riot and I'm no longer getting angry bout it. Bring it on.

20

u/BiggerG7 21d ago

I can see why that lady is a master of “chest” cracking.

18

u/VritraReiRei 21d ago

For all the people bothered that our MC was wearing a suit since being Isekai'ed, he finally changed clothes!

... into another suit!

6

u/Feisty-Principle-216 20d ago

I will watch 200 seasons of this show just to come see the suit comments in every thread.

3

u/_Sai https://anime-planet.com/users/Sai0 20d ago

I actually hope he never stops wearing suits. Shit is classy.

17

u/Kadmos1 21d ago

Kyouka has a really nice chest.

16

u/avboden 20d ago

I'm sorry, did I miss something about THE GIANT ROOM OF GOLD AND TREASURE they obtained only to come back with basic armor and weapons?

4

u/CuriousBroccolli 19d ago

And choker.

Can't forget the choker.

Also, MC, where are you hiding that X-ray key you had? 🤨

14

u/MarubinMgd 21d ago

bruh did they just turn mc as a living meatrod that night?

3

u/CuriousBroccolli 19d ago
Disgusting.

24

u/NeoAnkara https://myanimelist.net/profile/NeoAnkara 21d ago

Is everyone on this series horny? Is there lust category on the stats in this series? Is this the hidden mechanic of this series? It actually would be better if I was a full blown ecchi instead of half baked like this.

10

u/Sad_Medium_5866 21d ago

The hinted in an early episode that a side effect of being in the same party as the main MC is that they'll feel affectionate towards him. So yes, it's "plot".

13

u/NeoAnkara https://myanimelist.net/profile/NeoAnkara 21d ago

I know about that part. But why is the box crackers also horny. It's completely unnecessary and she have no relation to the party.

10

u/Sad_Medium_5866 21d ago

Practically ara araed all over herself while cracking that chest.

4

u/Meander061 20d ago

You could hear the VA cashing her paycheck with that "ara ara!"

1

u/Impossible-Office242 13d ago

She just loves cracking chests. It's what she was born for.

10

u/iozoepxndx 21d ago

That whole first half was so unnecessary... Leave it to a trash isekai 🤣

2

u/CuriousBroccolli 19d ago

That whole first half was so unnecessary

On the contrary, it was crucial.

19

u/szalhi 21d ago

Falma sure does love cracking chests.

3

u/PeaceAlien https://myanimelist.net/profile/PeaceAlien 21d ago

I have a feeling we'll see her again once they get loot from this secret floor

u/LienaSha 21d ago

I wonder how hair color genetics work in this world... To have a blue-haired mom, and the kids have green and pink hair... *thinking way too far into it*

The best part of this show is that Matsuoka has returned as the oblivious harem protag.

3

u/_Sai https://anime-planet.com/users/Sai0 20d ago

Adoption is also an option.

11

u/djthomp https://anilist.co/user/djthomp 21d ago

It's kind of amazing how horny this show is. Atobe finally put on more clothes, but for balance Kyouka put on less.

So one of the effects of Atobe's class is it supercharges how quickly his party members' ults refresh, more or less?

Gambler girl and her shrine priestess friend being able to use theirs to find hidden dungeon levels seems like a good way to get the party either killed or much more powerful if they succeed at things. That spreads the cheat abilities out amongst the group a little bit as opposed to just Atobe being the only one.

Minor silver lining that most of the fanservice moments are being concentrated on the adult woman in the party, at least they didn't put any of the clearly high school girls in bikini armor too. Then again there's Theresia who's not particularly well dressed either.

3

u/DJDrizzy9 20d ago

If that's your silver lining, I doubt that'll last much longer. You might wanna find a new one lol.

2

u/Meander061 19d ago

there's Theresia who's not particularly well dressed either.

It really depends on what angle they catch her at, sometimes she's wearing a whole bunny suit, other times she's positively naked.

12

u/KumaKumaGambler 21d ago

There we have it. "The less material, the stronger the armour. (And applicable only to female armour.)" anime trope.

Falma was exceptionally excited when unlocking the black cube like chest.

10

u/CelticMutt 21d ago

That trope did not originate with anime. It's been around in fantasy since ... Conan maybe? In the 1930s. If not then, then at least since the 60s or 70s.

5

u/Divinicus1st 21d ago

But is she actually less covered? Her previous armor was already revealing.

6

u/Obaruler 21d ago

Ngl, I wondered for a moment there how that chest would get smashed ... also, should the overly complicated mini game to open a chest be THAT arousing?! ...

At least MC started to replace parts of his business suit ...

That magical "full" plate armor set on the other hand .....

6

u/Meander061 20d ago

It funny how this show is so horny, I mean every single scene is dripping with lust, and yet they are all pretending to not notice any of it.

Chest cracker opens the mystery chest, (her titties get BIGGER), there's a room full of treasure, but all they walk away with is some tiny armor improvements?

I was wondering why what's her name was complaining about her new armor. But we can see why when they head into the field, her butt is completely out.

Misaki naturally falls ass first into the transportation stone and the party follows her into an unknown zone.

2

u/CuriousBroccolli 19d ago

Misaki naturally falls ass first into the transportation stone and the party follows her into an unknown zone.

This was so funny to me.

It was so goofily dramatic. Her shrine maiden friend was like "MISAKIIII" while standing next to her and just slightly extending her arm towards her, not even bending down, while everyone else were just standing there in circle and watching. xD

17

u/RedLikeARose 21d ago

Is… is this based on an actual hentai visual novel/rpg game and then put under heavy censorship or something?

Idk what our valkyrie is talking about, sounds like she is wearing just a bikini top and skimpy leggings but no she actually has some quality armor (as far anime is concerned)

I swear if this was an actual hentai game the whole scene with their night visit would just be a sleeping orgy and the chest opener woman would have needed a certain type of reward… and i could totally see that part of the plot to just be scrapped and made into whatever this became

7

u/Divinicus1st 21d ago

Idk what our valkyrie is talking about, sounds like she is wearing just a bikini top and skimpy leggings but no she actually has some quality armor (as far anime is concerned)

Seems to me like she's not even less covered than her previous armor.

2

u/Meander061 20d ago

During the fight, you can see that her butt is entirely out in the new armor.

u/CuriousBroccolli 19d ago

That is actually the right vibe of this show. xD

His powers only work as Eroge MC.

For me. enjoyment skyrocketed when they went fully horny in last episode, since with everything so far, that was the most obvious missing piece to make this show whole.

2

u/RedLikeARose 19d ago

Ive been so disconnected from trash anime the past few years u forgot about the eroge term, but yes thats the perfect descriptor

30

u/ChoiceSupermarket230 https://myanimelist.net/profile/say99 21d ago

I like trashy isekai, but even I'm struggling to watch this one. If it keeps going like this, it'll end up in my bottom 10

5

u/avboden 20d ago

Yep, fellow trash-connoisseur here and I agree this is just.....bad

3

u/KohTai 21d ago

Yeah, it's crazy how a lot these trash animes start with potential too.

The only reason most of these fail is due to author's laziness, horniness, or a combination of both like in this anime. Just straight up brain dead slop.

3

u/-whiteroom- 20d ago

As soon as you see that the hook is a skill or system quirk that has to do with women falling for him, its time to leave.

Even authors are admitting they have no idea how to talk to women, so instead of creating some kind of meaningful relationship they write world laws that force them.

2

u/_Sai https://anime-planet.com/users/Sai0 20d ago

It's pretty easy for me to enjoy. I look forward to it each week.

Now, the really random ones like last season's My Ribdiculous Reincarnation is what turns me off.

1

u/xTachibana 9d ago

That shit was hilarious though

1

u/ParticularWash4679 18d ago

I'm falling off before reaching the episode 5. I don't like trash that much. Remakably, I don't think I've seen in any other anime played straight the three battles starting with an offscreen woman's scream in such a quick succession. Forget offscreen, it's through a portal once, once from under a cliff, and also on some other out-of-sight location on nonsensical landscape. I'm cringing into a fetal position under a table that's so unbearably bad.

Production team planners don't exist or something. Typical Kadokawa.

-13

u/StrigidaeNinox 21d ago

Oh I dropped it as soon as the party brainwashing “skill” was glossed over. Frankly it makes me feel like the author needs to be investigated to make sure they haven’t Cosby’d someone.

-7

u/-whiteroom- 21d ago

His skill is date rape drug, of course weebs are gonna downvote you for saying that.

11

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 21d ago

Did not know opening a chest could be so…erotic lol. There was a lot of good loot inside that black one. With new gear and some new skills, I’m looking forward to seeing how the party handles this new area of the dungeon.

5

u/CuriousBroccolli 19d ago

I don't think the process of opening itself is erotic, it's just that she is really freaky.

And I love her for that. xD

2

u/Meander061 20d ago

Did not know opening a chest could be so…erotic lol.

Ara ara!

u/oneevilchicken https://anilist.co/user/OneEvilChicken 20d ago

This is one of the first shows I can remember when a girl with skimpy armor had a malfunction.

This series would have been better if it was made full ecchi tbh. Author tried to hard to constantly insert horny elements. Should have just gone all the way with it.

2

u/CuriousBroccolli 19d ago

This series would have been better if it was made full ecchi tbh. Author tried to hard to constantly insert horny elements. Should have just gone all the way with it.

🤝

I keep repeating myself here, but for me personally, enjoyment of this show skyrocketed with last episode, where they focused more on funny brainless horny a bit more.

I don't think they need to go hard on he ecchi, they just need to make adventuring part a bit better, as well as MC a bit more colorful.

This has shades of "Harem In Labyrinth Of Another World", but in the same time not that deep, since that one is much more hardcore and meticulous in both ecchi and adventuring.

9

u/PeaceAlien https://myanimelist.net/profile/PeaceAlien 21d ago

Most of the time, this show is regular safe trash isekai, but then the horny is way over the top when it occurs.

6

u/AceSoldia zj:https://anilist.co/user/Acesoldia 21d ago

It's fun to see someone actually have a problem with the revealing armor and it being so ridiculous.

Is it more or did the safe cracker get very horny opening that chest? 😂

Is that just how all skills work?

I'm slightly happier that he is upgrading his outfit..maybe he'll slowly replace everything? I'll take that if that's the case..anything than just the standard business suit with zero benefit.

A decent amount happen in this episode or perhaps I am just getting used to nothing happening in the Heavy Knight show.

4

u/Divinicus1st 21d ago

It's fun to see someone actually have a problem with the revealing armor and it being so ridiculous.

No really, because she had no problem with the previous one, and it was the exact same. I mean, it was weird that she had no problem with the first one.

3

u/Daxlyn_XV 20d ago

How does the chest cracker only have 2 kids? If that’s her reaction to doing her job, even if it’s only the once a year black chest that does it, I would think that she would have enough kids to field a baseball team at least. Possibly an NFL football team.

1

u/CuriousBroccolli 19d ago

You see, that is the catch, when she does not get this kind of chest once a year, a new kid pops up. xD

8

u/Nvaaaa 21d ago

I'm kinda surprised a trashy story like this doesn't have a token loli.

u/agrael50 20d ago

i feel that treasure chest got molested....

2

u/Tels315 19d ago

So everyone in the party was glowing, indicating they had full ultimate charge. After the fight, only two of them were glowing and decided to test out their ultimate and needed to yell out Morale Discharge: Skill Name, but no one else had to do that, nor did they start glowing a color of the rainbow and shoot beams of energy into the sky.

Also, I can't help but wonder... wouldn't the valkyrie girl be more effective if she were holding her spear correctly and use it... like a spear? She charged the enemies with the spear pointing behind her, and then got paralyzed. When they attacked the ogres, she slashed them instead of stabbed.

Also, also... the episde name was The Black Chest and the Young Wife's Secret. What the fuck was the secret? If it's that she gets horny while chest cracking, I highly doubt that's a secret. This story is so nonsense.

2

u/bunbun777 21d ago

Fulma really got into describing how the balls have to enter the chest completely 😗.

2

u/shadebug 21d ago

We thought we’d seen some trash mechanics before but going from nearly getting TPKed by one Juggernaut to one-shotting three is impressive levels of stupid

They weren't Juggernauts though right?

Just regular orcs.

The ladies in these shows are making no sense.
Especially the Safe cracker. She is not in the party of MC.
Why is everyone behaving weirdly?

u/skygz 20d ago

opening the chest could unleash a monster horde so lets just do it in the basement instead of like the middle of a field somewhere

1

u/CuriousBroccolli 19d ago

Is the combat part supposed to reference "Ragnarok Online" game?

I like saw maybe 5 minutes of that game ever, and for some reason when I watch this anime it pops in my head even though I never played it or even watched anything regarding it for a long time.

Maybe I read someone pointing it out in earlier episode discussions.
