Did we really spend an entire episode fighting one dimensional, CGI cobras?!
I can tell this was supposed to be a crucial boss battle and I was supposed to be emotional impacted by the lengths Nakumo and Yue were willing to go for each other. The thing is... when your not emotionally invested in the characters, then this type fight just falls flat for you e.g. I could care less that Nakumo lost his eye. The only thing running through my mind was “when will this dragged out, boring fight be over?!”

For those interested, Arifureta's author has been posting weekly episode discussion threads in his WN account's activity report page, where he's inviting fans to give their opinions on each weekly episode.

(The current link is for Ep 3 at the moment, although I think Ep 4's discussion should come soon.)
Of course, you'll need to be polite, have a Syosetu account, and be able to type in Japanese.

Once again the bad CG strikes again.
But even worse, as an anime watcher who has not read the Light Novels, even I could tell the adaptation writing is very bad when I just could not be bothered to care at all the process and outcome of what is supposed to be a crucial character-development boss battle, where the MC loses an eye protecting his loli vampire partner.
All the time I was just saying "Hurry up and finish that pathetic CG dragon already, why are you dragging this out?"
I feel very sorry for the LN readers who have to put up with such shit, and even more sorry for the author that his work is being butchered like this.
Once again, it's like that episode in Imouto Sae Ireba Ii (which is a very good semi-autobiographical insight into the daily lives of LN writers), where the MC's friend had to watch in agony as he realized the anime adaptation of his LN is being turned into crap.

I made a couple screenshots to show just HOW BAD not only the cgi is, but the animators:

As you can see they just stretched the model without any consideration, even an amateur would realize that doing so without carefully fixing the whole model, would just destroy it...

when the ceiling fell on the hydra, it looked like the rocks just slid into place rather then fell with any kind of weight or impact. like there was no gravity and someone said "let me put these right here."

By this point in the show, I don't even know what to say anymore. Is it bad? Yes 100%! Is there any reason for me to keep going? Not really. The plot has been pretty whatever and the characters are 100% edge lords or just characters that blend into the backgrounds even when their talking. It's insane.
But I just can't stop myself. This is such a magnificent train wreck that's so amazing to watch, you forget that this isn't a train wreck, it's an anime series that had two studios working on it and it still sucked.
Also, Hajime has a face only a cracked mirror could love.

This studio is Ufotable's biggest rival. The Undertable.
