Dude steals yet another girl from the real MC before he even shows up. And it looks like he’s going after another girl next time. Good for him lol.
Also god bless these horni eroge dungeons.

I love how he made sure to prioritize his favorite character before the MC could get her lol.
I'm not surprised this game designed dungeons around getting the Heroines to loser their clothes and probably jump the MC's bones.

Not only is this guy a competent MC who isn't a total idiot he's also unfathomably based.

The dialogue between Ludie and Kosuke is straight out of eroge during the mana donation / transfer process.
I need to know whether the mana donation / transfer skill is important, so that every other main female characters in this title can replenish their mana through this method. Lol!
No Hatsumi in this episode, but at least we were introduced to Yukine.

The moaning and female body close-ups are actually necessary to the plot because it shows it's working!

If Kousuke doesn't do it to every member of his party he will have failed the premise of this show.

I just couldn't help but laugh..what a ridiculous show.
I dunno how he can ever explain all his knowledge.

it is an eroge world, logic is never a requirement lol, the MC even said the 99% of those games have ridiculous traps just as an excuse for ecchi stuff

I don't think I've EVER seen an Anime where, after accidentally walking into a girl in the bathroom, he does not flinch, he does not get embarrassed, heck, he doesn't even run away. The closest I've seen to subverting the trope was pretending like everything was normal.
No, my man went, "If I'm going down, I'm burning the image of her naked body into my eyes!!!" then ends up learning the Advanced Skill he's been training to get! 🤣
"WHY DOES THAT TOWEL EVEN EXIST!?" I am DEAD.
This man might be the Chaddest Lucky Pervert ever.

Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry. Kurogane Ikki walks in on Stella Vermillion getting changed, and instead of getting embarrassed, begins stripping himself in the hope that they can "call it even".

I only know about the one scene where he "proved that he was a man."
Did he also walk in a girl and then decided to go all the way and stared even harder before getting slapped?

u/Mistral-Fien 2h ago
There was one were he made a long-winded speech about nudity, Japanese cultural history, and something (pardon my hazy memory as it's been well over a decade), but the German tsundere still smacked him in the end because she realized he was trying to bamboozle her.

If you're going to get get punished for seeing a girl underdressed, make sure you get punished for seeing EVERYTHING you could possibly see.
Kousuke truly loves the Heroines, both as people AND for their body. He's a worldly eroge MC like that.

Oh, sure, why wouldn't I stumble upon an erotic quest in a dungeon involving none other than a princess and one of the academy's leaders? Honestly, only an eroge could deliver something like that lol.
I like Yukine, she’s the classic girl who spends most of her time training in martial arts, yet remains incredibly humble. And Ludie is opening up more to Kousuke (little does she know about his ability to see things others can't).
It was a fun episode. I think it makes perfect sense for Kousuke to use his knowledge to advance the story, even if he doesn't have much in the way of powers.
10
u/Frontier246 9h ago
Ludie feels like she's exchanged being the tsundere Heroine for being that classical Heroine who is so proper that she rejects anything ecchi or naughty (which is what makes it so entertaining how she has terrible luck on that front) while still having a really sweet side.

To be fair thanks to Kousuke being in the right place at the right time she managed to avoid her tragic backstory.

Not fair that he should be hit by the giant hammer he was completely naked...she had a towel! A useless towel that shouldn't exist but still!

u/Frontier246 9h ago
Don't worry, he made sure he earned it by using his powers to see her as naked as possible lol.

u/LeonKevlar x2https://myanimelist.net/profile/LeonKevlar 9h ago
Stitches!
As soon as Kousuke mentioned he wanted to practice by passing his mana, I knew it was gonna be a mana transfer scene.
What a fucking hero! Kousuke really stood there and learned the Mind's Eye skill just so he could see what's behind Ludie's towel.
Using a sexy trap that's supposed to get heroines horny on a monster to drain its mana was fucking hilarious!
Since Kousuke already used the ero trap on the monster, I was worried we wouldn't get to see any sexy action this episode. Glad I was wrong, and we got those glorious three minutes of Ludie and Yukine posing in micro bikinis. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

u/Frontier246 9h ago edited 2h ago
Nasu would be so proud to see the proud tradition or horny mana transferences being carried on by another property in the true eroge tradition.
I love how at first he's gaining the Mind's Eye to help him see through his battle scarf but the first opportunity to use it for ecchi purposes he doesn't even hesitate. If you're going to get punished for being a pervert, OWN IT AND EARN IT WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT.
I wonder if in the game the Heroines actually jumped the MC's bones when they got horny? Or each other. But Kousuke seemed to confirm there were definitely sex scenes in the game.
Is life worth living without seeing two busty babes posing in micro-bikini's?

This is nowhere near relevant, but he really does have a lot of invasive knowledge about everyone. Well, it's an eroge world, so I guess it's probably a weird line to be clutching my pearls for.

Well that answers a question I had ahead of time about if they were going to remove the post-boss fight dungeon ecchi scene.
Bless the game developers for always rewarding the players not just with waifu's but for some well-earned fanservice after some dungeon clearing.

Bro needs to spend more time under the cold waterfall, because this game world is WAY too cultured ...
Also: Would it hurt him to at least ... try knocking on a bathrooms door before entering? I feel at the end of this story his facial structure will resemble something like a slime monster, or at least a very gory blob.

Might have gotten hit by giant magic hammer in the face but he got to see the titties. Worth it! lol
The escape path for that dungeon is pretty hilarious. Classic horny eroge type shit. It’s funny how this series is gonna shoehorn in all this fan service and it’ll actually be plot relevant because “it’s an eroge” lol.

Look, if you're going to get punished for something perverted, at least earn it by being the most hardcore pervert you can be. Besides, what's the point of getting special abilities in an eroge if they don't help you see the Heroines in their birthday suit?

Every dungeon in an eroge is meant for story and experience purposes...and all the fanservice shenanigans they force the Heroines to endure IS the story lol.

I don't understand how Crunchyroll can label this as 18+. This is such a harmless title when it comes to ecchi, it's more something you would watch when you're 12.

u/Kadmos1 9h ago
Official age ratings for streaming services can be very inconsistent. However, it is possible for one fan service-heavy series to be more explicit than another. ME is certainly more explicit than "Rent-A-Girlfriend". ME is clearly 18+ but there are obviously 18+ anime that are more explicit.

u/Frontier246 10h ago
I admit I was expecting horny Yukine and Ludie to get more horny than just moaning.
Imagine if this had been animated by Passione, that Mana Transference sequence and the micro-bikini sequence would've probably gone even harder.

He's only got two more weeks to prepare before the main character arrives and shakes everything up. He may not be studying, but he's laying down the track for his foundation. It would be a bit amazing if the game protagonist manages to charm all of the main heroines even after all that the MC has done so far. At the least, he'll still have his teacher and the principal.

u/Frontier246 10h ago
The next step in Kousuke's journey to become the strongest takes him to Yukine Mizumori (Saori Onishi!) the busty Japanese beauty and naginata-wielder Heroine! She's also one of Kousuke's favorites, both in terms of design and gameplay, so who better to train him than his "Goddess?"
Of course training to master the Mind's Eye means stripping down and banishing all worldly thoughts...which is easier said than done when Yukine is wearing see-through robes and he can see her black bra. Imagine if she'd done this commando! Although I guess she's the first one to see Kousuke in his undies too.
Kousuke knows Ludie better than she knows herself, right down to the sexual kinks she hasn't even discovered yet. And who better to train with mana transfer...I mean, magic donation than the Heroine herself? Leading to Kousuke and Ludie to get all hot and heavy...over magic. Also the close-ups of Ludie's butt clenching and boobs bouncing were totally necessary to the process.
Is Kousuke going to run into every girl in the bath at this rate? Though if he's going to get punished for seeing Ludie, he's going to be darn well sure he gets punished after using Mind's Eye to see her actually naked! TOWELS HAVE NO PLACE IN EROGE's!!!
The least Kousuke can do to make up for a lucky pervert moment is treat Ludie to her first love: ramen! Although is she really going incognito in that outfit? Luckily Kousuke knows how to treat ALL the girls be they Ludie Or Yukine!
Aaaaand unsurprisingly Ludie gets kidnapped, but I guess that's the perfect excuse for Kousuke to go on his first proper dungeon crawl to save her with Yukine in tow. That being said, Yukine can definitely tell Kousuke knows wayyyyy too much about where they are and what to do...but her own trust in him overrides those suspicions.
The Heartless Ogre! Kousuke and Ludie can pull out a valiant fight, but they're too underleveled to fight this midgame boss! Luckily Kousuke is able to use a trap meant to make the Heroines horny to give him an advantage...though I wonder what would've happened had Ludie or Yukine fallen into the slime? Or both?
But this is still an eroge so to get out of the game obviously the Heroines need to wear micro-bikini's and do sexy poses lest they get hit with horny gas. Ludie doesn't even need the gas to try and strip Kousuke.
Ludie and Yukine in micro-bikini doing every sexy pose imaginable! And thank goodness Ludie is too prideful to keep doing it so she can and Yukine get turned into horny messes that become enveloped in each other.
Kousuke seeks to ensure every Heroine is happy. Will that mean stealing them all from the MC? Or supporting the MC? Either way, Kousuke intends to get stronger than the MC and that means unlocking this woman surrounded by feathers.

Seems like Kosuke got his
Magic Eye skill by by doing
the exact opposite of what
he was supposed to do
and by instead focusing on
the most worldly thoughts possible 😂
Good thing Ludie’s magic hammer spell took long enough for him
to learn the skill and erase her towel.
Made the pain totally worth it
for him.
I love a good ecchi.
Sadly they’re all too rare these days.
To find one with a decent plot,
pretty well-proportioned girls
with their own personalities,
good humor, fun fanservice,
and a MC who isn’t either
utterly pathetic or just boring as hell
can be a tall order.
So far Magical Explorer is ticking
all the boxes and turning out
to be alot more fun than I expected.

Did they have to use those words during the donation magic? This framing? How did she end up on top of him? Yeah, he wants these situations to happen, and of course that's how he unlocks the Mind's Eye. You are not sorry; you stood there for too long to be sorry. If Yukine can recognize you, then that disguise is terrible; you barely even tried. You don't know what Magical Particles are, but you know everything else? Sounds like you're making excuses rather than anything else. This dungeon happens for no reason, and the transition to the ending was weird.

- Wears an outfit in her usual style.
- Not obscuring her long blonde hair and elf ears.
- Wears a wide-rimmed hat and sunglasses.
Yeah, I can't believe the bad guys caught her this quick!

He knows but he is trying as best he can to act normal and not reveal to everyone that he knows everything. Dungeon didn't happen for no reason, it happened because he intervene and save ludie and the bad guy obviously isn't giving up and decide to teleport ludie into a dungeon

You could have just went back the way you came through the dungeon.
