THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Whoa, this episode actually had adventurers dealing with some monsters and trying to escape that underground dungeon. Kind of unusual for this particular show.

Liscia's feelings towards Kazuya seems more and more direct now. With every episode, they're growing closer. Speaking of which, it looks like he is also moving forward with his plan to expand more into building for their nation.

The city building finally started and it was funny to see the old man's reaction when he realised he was talking to the king.
It seems things are progressing smoothly now.

The part with the adventures was also nice to watch something else from the usually overpowered adventures parties we usually see.

I'd love to see more of our custome friend going on adventure. That was pretty fun. Of course, it was just Souma playing around with his ability.
The project started and it's time to build a port that connects the whole kingdom.
Oh and that little kiss from Lisica was sweet.

A good ep.

Kazuya's got his sortie eyes in adventuring through a magic familiar, but the quest wiith the group adventurers almost got them scathed. Well regardless, it's nice to see some side action.

The major Project Venetinova to build a new port town by the sea, that's one of many firsts for Kazuya to rebuild the kingdom and rally the ministers below him. Together with Liscia, of which their relationship is getting stronger and closer as well.

Hitting a snag at this point of construction isn't a surprise to the people who oppose the construction due to certain legends of the fantasy world, and quite a well-founded tradition at that. The old man Urup sure got a shock of his life meeting Kazuya, the king in person, and the story telling him of the sea god legend sounds like nothing but balderdash, instead a calamity at the most precise at their project site of Venetinova.

So what does Kazuya do? Use that to relocate and continue his plan, while providing warnings for evacuation routes and vice versa. No matter how much difficult the task, there is no stopping Kazuya's reforms for the better of the kingdom.

Keep supporting Kazuya, he's gonna need all the help he could get.

Instead of having urban planning courses, they should just require you to watch this show. I’m liking Liscia and Aisha more and more every week. Great chemistry with the trio.

That intro with the elements felt like a tutorial in Gacha games, explaining type advantages over others.

So his living poltergeist has that much potency, I like that adventurer was somehow able to understand what the mascot was saying.

The start was super adorable with the mascot being controlled by Souma to go on that quest. Wanting to see the underground tunnels himself but obviously not having the fighting skills or time. The mascot being controlled by his living poltergeist did some great work. Cutting up monsters and guarding against the acid saliva from that giant salamander. Funny the girl whom was against mascot coming with them fell in love by the end after they saved each other. I wonder whay Souma plans to do with the underground tunnels. We do know what he's goal was with all those workers allocating funds, to build a new port city! Which after he explained it to Liscia made perfect sense. They need to establish better distribution of food and create a happy medium between supply and demand so that food costs go down so that citizens have more money to spend on other things and not just on food leaving them very poor. Souma is really trying to turn not only the economy around but the lived of the people he's responsible for. Sucks that the site for his proposed city is within a tsunami zone. I thought the old man was just out of his mind but it does makes sense. Souma thinking long term even if a tsunami comes hundreds of years from now you still have to prepare. So moving the site is the best option, appease the villages around there while also fortifying the new planned city.

That Mascot guy might look funny but damn he's strong. Obviously, cuz he's built differently. LOL. It was fun seeing them going on adventures like that. Kazuya has to take care of it. It's like Kazuya is his guardian.

Still, it's fun to see Kazuya handling this kingdom so well. Everything seems to work so fluidly under his command. His words of motivation and his way of bringing the output from the people are really impressive to me. Liscia is getting closer to Kazuya with each episode. You love to see it.

I find it epic/hilarious that thanks to his power he has a totally different ninja character who's doing quests with group of adventurers even though it's just a mascot xD
Venetinova is really interesting, and since it's a risk because of natural disasters (earthquake, tsunami) they have to take preventive measures, it's really realistic I love this part.
And of course Liscia is totally falling for Souma haha, more and more.

The first half came outta nowhere, seems like Kazuya got bored of paperwork so he went on adventures with his familiar instead

The second half however shows him doing what he does best, this time in the form of city planning. Very smart of him to deduce it's a tsunami from the folklore of the locals

There is also a tsunami in an isekai. o.0
Kazuya is like playing Cities: Skylines, but that's the good city planning anyways by preparing the escape routes and the shelters at the higher level ground and also planning to place the residential area and the important facilities inland away from the ocean.

Aside from direct attack spells being able to infuse magic into one's weapon serves to add extra flexibility to one's offence. Still using that as a means to determine in which branch of the military they serve sure is an interesting idea. Damm that mascot sure has some impressive skill. So the mascot was actually Souma in disguise huh. Makes it easy to stir up hearts of female adventurers i guess. Expanding one's ability to supply more recourses is always a good move especially considering the fact that the nation's ability to feed its people is far outstripping supply. Souma really is pushing himself to the limit though. The old mans reaction to Souma was priceless. Given its the coast Tsunami's are not exactly impossible to have. With things like towns being cautious is always a good idea. Overall a well rounded ep that while serving to introduce a new side of souma via the mascot also did well to show Liscia's growing feelings for him as well. Its nice to see how life is like outside of the gov via the adventurers foray into the depths. Curious whether will we get to see them again though.

This episode reminds me of Million Lives, if you watch its latest episode, you know what I mean.

Souma has no plan to adapt democratic system in this country. He seems to think that he can handle all of these problems by himself. Because all of these problems are not so complicated with many stakeholders that require the majority voice.

I think this anime (or writer ?) has a problem.

Instead of introducing stuff and then build upon it, it does random stuff (like the ninja in this episode), use "coincidence" (out of nowhere discussion with the fox girl in episode 5), throw some "secret stuff" (end of episode 6 where we don't know what they're saying). It's lacking focus and taking the easy way of "hiding information" instead of being smart about it.

Also, in this episode, instead of telling you about the actual plot of building back the kingdom, you get (with no foreshadowing), Souma congratulating people you've never seen, for a plan you've never heard about and they have to show us a flashback to tell us "what happened" after three minutes of congratulation of random old dude...

And I can only hope subplots will not be forgotten (Tomoe for instance).

For now, it's quite boring (but I guess that's why not a lot of Isekai go for the "realistic" way).

Hilarious bechdel test moment with that closing conversation. Glad the girls, and everyone else, continue to be absolutely worthless so Souma can do everything.

Not even addressing the absurd notion that he could unilaterally construct a new port city that would change the face of Goods distribution for the entire nation. I'm sure the nobles and rulings elite are fine with upsetting the status quo.

Also, how about the moral implications of you endangering the lives of others as they attempt to rescue a fucking puppet? The adventurers, who think your doll is an actual person, further endager themselves to save a doll. WTF

Which is my point. It's just a doll but they are risking their lives to save what they think is a person.

Ah, whatever reason that think its wise to jumping around and jumbling it into another random event, from those previous cliffhanger into this, which kinda feel like its really weird me so much. However, i am just an anime only watcher, so there's nothing i can do about that, rather than commenting some shit here.

Anyway, ugh, back to the episode, master ninja mascot, yeah. Okay, idk why its important. But okay, its cool, Souma, good i guess. Another project into making another city port. I don't get why its still matters toward the previous episode. Because the cut from the previous episode cliffhanger really can't convince me into feels weird about this whole episode objective. However, yeah, like before, fine for now i guess. Lets see if the next episode will be make more sense than this.

Also, the Liscia x Souma ship is getting real with every episode.
I am actually pretty hyped for the building of the city, and the whole fact that they mentioned tsunamis it means that it gotta happen!

Because it wasn't a supposed to be a cliffhanger to begin with, just a bad decision on the anime's part.
In the source everyone who's meaningful (Aisha, Hakuya, etc.) is present for what Glaive has to say. After he (off screen) says his piece is when Souma makes Kaede 2nd in command in the Forbidden Army (the King's personal troops) and reassigns Hal from the duke's army to work under Kaede, then the meeting ends. What was actually said doesn't get revealed until later in the story.

I enjoyed this episode a lot. Very detailed in regards to Souma's plans.
I liked Liscia opening up her feelings towards Souma a lot more. I also liked when she asked Aisha if she liked Souma and Aisha said Yes, she wasn't too flustered about it.
I think she knows just how much of an impact he has on those around him.

Very nice episode.

LOL @ Aisha wanting Ludwin to acknowledge her and her goofy smile after.

7 episodes in and i still feel like Souma is JUST getting the hang of the world he’s in, sending out his ninja costume to scout a bit and have some fun while he’s at it. A poor show would have exposition dumped and made the mc know EVERYTHING in one episode, but Souma still has a lot to learn and much to do and it SHOWS. I also appreciate the time the show is taking in developing the relationship Liscia is building with Souma. That kiss on the cheek felt so earned and wholesome lol. Great show so far and definitely looking forward to next week’s episode. Still can’t really think of any legitimate criticism for the show (if you have any PLEASE lmk) .

yeah dude the way they portrayed that whole convo in the manga was 100% better.

Having Urup on site yelling for the construction to stop when the king shows up, to urup telling the story about his childhood and you can see what he went through and even having the king specify that urup will now become a storyteller to spread the teachings about kaijin-sama.... All of it just went over better in the manga!




Disappointing, but that's basically been this whole season to me, My niece and younger brother watch it with me and every episode I basically have to tell them how better the manga was!
