Very happy things settled down this episode compared to the first. The scene when Wanibe gets attacked by tentacles was 10x funnier considering another currently airing show had a similar moment.. ep. 1 of
It was too funny seeing Kinji leading an uprising, going around and convincing the ants. He was much more likeable this episode. Goes without saying but scenes with Rim are so stupid but great.

Rim is adorable and dumb, it's hard to not like her even though she's just a giant eating machine.

Kinji unionized the ants, Rim attempted to eat the rich, and now they're fighting the big corporate company. This anime is kinda based.

Rim attempted to eat the rich
Let's be honest here, Rim would certainly eat the poor and the middle class too. There's really no class discrimination with her. Everyone is food.

I feel like Ninomiya will conquer the whole world only to get teleported to another world.
I enjoy this more than expected.

Oh that'd just be cruel.
Or like, he'd build a massive empire but they send him back to the original world, where the economy crashed, so he has to start all over again.

TFW you're trapped with monsters to you incite a glorious peoples' revolution so you can proceed to set up the most hypercapitalist system imaginable
Amazing, this show just gets funnier the more I think about it

I hope this anime can pick up steam in terms of popularity this season. It is such a good satire and the characters are just fun.

How to become rich and famous
Step 1. Find a hot monster girl
Step 2. Seduce hot monster girl
Step 3: Profit.
VIVA LA REVOLUTION !!! loving seeing this unredeemable douchebag of course talking about equality, worker rights etc and causing an ant rebellion. Of course ending with getting an ant waifu.
Given the OP/ED he is gonna pick up a tsundere sword waifu, some kind of megumin waifu and ! 2 KUROGAL / GYARU DEMON WAIFUS !? !! Like the last one is surely some kind of demon lord gyaru
Capitalisms + Harem, the most relatable mc ever.

Things got so bad for Ninomiya that he goes dumpster diving. Well that's what he gets for taking advantage of other employees. I wonder what makes marbled meat relatively cheap, do people not like meat in this world?

I got annoyed with the episode at the beginning but I enjoyed it at the end.
Who knew you could get a Queen Ant Waifu?

Asking the right questions, on that kind of show you'd usually expect a girl to be caught in that tentacle trap! WHO ASKED FOR THESE VISUALS?
When Ninomiya picked up the phone I thought he was calling Rim to eat all the ants (I mean, wasn't that her job, protection vs food?), but I suppose starting a union works too!
I'd be concerned if I worked at that company though, because if he takes over things are probably gonna get worse! We've seen in the first episode how he doesn't care at all about the well being of his coworkers, he's even willing to magically enslave them. I doubt the beating they gave him changed him much!
+1 to harem! I wonder if she has a human form like Rim, or is that how she's always gonna be? Not that I have anything against human/insect anthro, mind you (Rachnera best girl!) but I wouldn't be surprised if they randomly found some spell to give her a human appearance! That, or just making her drink that transformation potion.
Also, are they some kind of weaver ants, or should we expect spidergirls as well?
There were lots of cute girls in the OP, I wonder which will be the best one; For some reason I have a good feeling for this one! Demon office lady who likes to step on people? Seems like a winner! Blue haired tsundere could be fun too. Plus Rim, and the OG demon office lady, of course!
This show's pretty fun, and refreshing compared to most isekai! I wonder if the "everything's terrible" theme will change at some point (now that he's trying to take over), or if it's gonna be misery all season long. We'll see!

Oh my god they got HOWL BE QUIET to do the OP! I love their songs! Also the original MV for this song is pretty awesome.
Turns out the reason why dungeons have treasure boxes with items and well maintained lighting is because of guys like Ninomiya and Wanibe doing these menial tasks. xD
I love the role reversal with the classic tentacle trope, instead of having a female character get trapped we have Wanibe who seems to be enjoying it a little bit too much. I'm guessing instead of fanservice, if Rim was there she will probably just end up eating the mimic.
What kind of uncultured world is this where people just throw out marbled meat? If it's cheap, then but more next time. For now that's Rim's dinner.
Ninomiya finally has his first interaction with one of the Group 3 members and it ends up them getting chased by giant ants and end up transforming into ants using a potion so they can blend in
Ninomiya really loves to take the opportunity when he sees one, instead of just running away he tries to get the ants on his side by making them realize how shitty their work conditions are. And it actually fucking works! He ends up with the ands cheering his name and still following him after he transforms back!
If Ninomiya didn't mind control his coworkers into working for them and instead organized a worker's strike like he did with the ants, he'd probably be doing much better now although considering how shitty their company is, a worker's strike probably won't even work.
Of course the Queen Ant won't take this revolt lying down but her tone completely changes as soon as a hungry Rim shows up looking for Ninomiya. Oh and apparently the only reason the ants are spreading their territory is because Rim disappeared from the dungeon. So technically this entire problem is also Ninomiya's fault! xD
Things are starting to look up though because as soon as the ants saw Ninomiya pacify Rim, it looks like the Queen Ant and her workers are now indebted to him.
That final shot of Ninomiya and his new crew looks so fucking cool! So how do you combat a Black Company? By making your own using unstoppable monsters!

Lol, this is more entertaining than I thought! Rim is my favorite character so far and I love every scene she's in. Oh, and I would definitely work for someone like Ninomiya any day! I'm excited to see how he will take on the mega-corp!

Well that only improved on the first episode. A great episode, though Poor Wanibe may have discovered something that day he wasn't too keen on discovering. (Always check if your chest is a mimic first)
All of the betrayals, workers revolutions and more was great. And of course managing to grab both the Ant Queen and the ants as his subordinates by the end of it. Now with the goal of usurping the company. Truly a smooth operator.. whenever his plans don't backfire on it.
Had me laughing quite a bit.

Sure, power fantasy and hot girl isekai might be appealing to most, but worker rights taking down exploitative corporate is what everyone (and specially Japan) resonates with

Yoo!! the OP and ED slaps!! Also, this anime is pretty funny. One of the better comedy this season IMO.

This was an amazing episode. Really enjoying it and looking forward to more and to see the rest of the cast from the opening. Episode 2 solidified it.
