I'm surprised to see him cheerful in the first scene. I guess miracles happen. Usually he's just bland and matter-of-factly telling people what's what.

And the goddess talks like a computer when she reports to the higher god for some reason. Okay.

Maybe I'm getting tired of this. It's just the usual otaku fantasy of a Japanese guy going to a Western-style world where he automatically gets the White blond girlfriend. Where superior magic, supernatural ties, or a girl calling him "brother!" for some dumb reason, gives him automatic access to women.

And to make it easier there will always be at least one who has no compulsion against taking off her clothes and throwing herself at him despite his complete lack of courting her like a normal person. Though in this version the producers have some perverted compulsion about showing the main character naked too. I don't want to guess what the other hand is doing when they draw the images.

A slow episode but with a big mystery will be Dia, companion of the Hero or it will be the Hero, I believe with what they showed us in the first episode is the hero's ally, she is rescued and becomes the protagonist's girlfriend unless they deceive us, which is unlikely

The best part of the chapter is when I know the plans of the Goddess that means that we can already know who the hero is and I hope it is so because the mystery is taking place a lot

I hate this episode so much. And the previous one as well.

Now, I do not know which one between the manga and the anime is the culprit, but one of the two completely destroyed the light novel plot and made up shit to come (probably) to the same conclusion in the next ep.

However, how the anime did felt much crappier than the how the manga did so...


I feel like dropping this now. And I say this as someone who just LOVES the manga.
Anime did everything dirty after episode 8. I just want to erase the bad-ish episode 9 and the horrible episode 10 from my mind...oh god why.
Now I'm curious about how they will fix this in episode 11 or if they will make up even more stuff making it even worse...but I'm also not curious because I'm suffering from the damage the two already published episodes already did...

Just binged up to ep10, i did not believe when I was told that this was good, being the same author of redo of healer...


Didn't know that. This isn't amazing or anything but it's a hell of a lot better than that garbage.



I feel the same, this is very OK. But like... The anime about the assassin has less edge than the anime about the healer. There's rape in the first few episodes and it happens off-screen... Way more tasteful, arguably the same impact after showing the mental state of the victims and most important: It's not fan-service. That blew my mind!
I don't know if this change of style is in the source material or just the anime.
I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably.

Anime follows ln story closer than manga, episode 9 refers to chapter 18 and 19 of vol 1 ln which is skipped out in manga. Certain details are changed in the anime compared to ln in order to establish more of the character's personality and probably to pad more content to fill an entire episode. A few notable changes from ln to anime is the addition of his visit to city affected by vieze and the change of the presence of Venkaur at his home estate(originally only the wife is present).

Episode 10's date may be anime original but it serves as a good way to clear any doubts to viewers about lugh's feelings for dia. The anime have omitted lugh's inner monologue about his feeling for dia in the earlier episodes, which had been made clear in the light novel that his affection was growing since they first met.

If you really cared about being faithful to original, manga might be the one furthest away from it with their strange need of character and content addition despite removing certain content from the ln. Care to elaborate on what exactly is crappier about the anime? I see no continuity issue with the anime for the upcoming episode.

So in the mixed bath scene, they automatically did the thing, right?

I don't think it is, in LN they did in other circumstances/event...

I guess his feelings for Dia are legit. Why is she the target? Is it some forced "Lugh must make a choice of Dia vs his dad"? There better be a good justification for this.

Honestly, I can't fathom this being from the same writer as Redo Healer...
What a nice surprise this series is, and this episode, I really love how they tackled the romance here.
Dia is still getting some highlights despite them being so far apart, and the romance between both avoided a lot of cliches, it was really nice to see it playing.

BUT WTF, that BS at the end... fuck!

Anyways, after finishing this season I m definitely going for the LN material, and I will start from scratch, if you asked me at the start of the anime, I would say nope, but really, what a nice surprise this has been, much more heart than I thought and shows some surprising maturity in how it approaches to certain things.

Nice romantic date with a not so nice after-credit scene of Lugh being tasked to assassinate Dia of all people. Don't think she'll actually be killed but at least we get to see Lugh doing a job with some stakes.

I like this episode because of how much Dia it has in it. She's my favorite character in the Anime. But that scene at the end, it makes me want to watch the next episode.

It's kind of funny that the standout moment of this episode for me was when Lugh threw a frickin rock at Dia's window before casually floating up to it. Would he stand across the street and throw a brick at someone's door before walking over and waiting for them to open it? You can fly dumbass, try knocking..

Anyways, some other stuff happened too and we got a cliffhanger, yay. I'll prob have to watch the next episode soon now

Nice date with Dia and Lugh. Got fanservice, but they only let us see Lugh's butt and I don't swing that way.

Seeing her leave and then suddenly all the men switched to battle gear. Sneaky.

His next target is quite a surprise.

So everything else was an act on Dia's town/city which Lugh has noticed anyways.

Well the next target is interesting to say the least.
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

I have been wondering this during his latest visit already but if he is 14 and she is 3 years older than him shouldnt she be 17? She still looks and acts just like a child. Puberty should have definitely hit her and made her taller atleast.

Is there actual romance going on here? Wow, just marry her already. If anything Im surprised she as a noble has not been engaged to someone at 17

A lot of bad flags have been set up this ep now though

first time there is a post credit scene if I did not miss any

PS: considering every single other sould was supposed to kill the hero, can we assume the goddesses plan for the teacher was to create so much academic pressure the hero would burn out and become a neet?

Fan service, not bad. I just dont get it. The plot was really messing around. So Dia is the hero? well its really complicated. After that date time, now i want a girl like Dia. Older and childish, God send me one like her please.

The entire date scene was just screaming just one big death flag. But we all know she likely won't die and he'll come save her. She's clearly lying to him about everything. While I expect him to pick up on it; I want him to actually not have. Him trusting someone at face value for the first time would be a great character development on him integrating with society and building personal connection.

Also based on the end, she might be the ones rebelling. And yea not sure what the father is thinking. Conflict of interest much?
