Even before they officially became a party together, it felt like they were one all along.

This episode did give motivation for Takumi to get stronger. However, I'm less impressed by their quest. Give us something more unique than goblins. Sigh, felt underwhelmed.

After he created those dolls, he also sewed underwear for them. He's truly a man of culture. lol

Sofia is so pretty oh my god I love her. She and Maria’s training arc went very well! Their first quests were tricky but provided some valuable experience

Maple new evolution??? Kinda gives Kumo desu vibes but man as someone who hates spiders and bugs it’s quite creepy seeing a half spider-human hybrid body

Did we just get an obama reference in my seasonal isekai? “Barack” not a common name at all lmao. Good thing they’re finally class D adventurers now. I doubt that’ll stop everyone from messing with them, but will hopefully reduce it.

“Takumi sama is quite a wuss isn’t he” Thank God someone else said it because holy shit dude get a grip all the screaming and running from the girls lol. You made them underwear, they have to try it on. Relax.

The blessing that Takumi got to prevent him from having misfortunes definitely starting to wear off, hopefully it makes the story better.

This series 💚 looks like it doesn't have a deep, intricate plot, but it carries a charming isekai slice-of-life vibe that I find delightful <3

There's actually a law that require every isekai to have a scene where the protagonist which has lower rank get bullied by higher rank member. I'm not kidding!

Those goblins got skewered, skewered again and cooked! Takumi's party has turned that potential threat into ash!

Maple pushing the guildmaster out of the way to leave Takumi's pocket dimension and show off her evolved drider/arachne form was my favorite part. I love this trope.

A lot of really fun ideas this week between Kaede's evolution, the guildmaster, the underwear fabrication,... and a few other things :)
Decent, lighthearted episode overall.

Fun enough episode, other than Takumi's bouts of whining and flailing. I mean sure, it's annoying on the other end to see characters that can do anything at anytime without any problems or doubts, but there's another level of hell entirely for the mcs who can do all that but seem to insist that they're helpless in the most cringeworthy way possible.

It doesn't really make sense to have dolls with correct measurements if he never measured them to begin with.

Otherwise, lots of standard OP isekai tropes this ep.

double check me, but i think in this episode Maple's Arachne form has replaced her spider form in the EP animation... that would be a fun little detail added in. :D

It seems that Maria and Sofia have grown to respect and like Takumi more than they did initially, so Takumi’s kind heart and actions have changed their tune, more specifically Sofia’s.

I like seeing the process of Takumi creating the armor and weapons that the three of them will be using to complete these quests, and Takumi using his alchemy in a more defensive manner, by synthesizing the charcoal into diamond and breaking Debul’s arm. It’s what he gets for being a fatass douchebag. I figured that Takumi would be the one to handle the situation, but I’m shocked that Maria or Sofia didn’t get pissed and decide to clap the whole party.

Hans’ Magic Sense allowed him to see that Takumi used his magic, and it seems that the things Takumi is able to do is not usual in this world, hence why Hans suggested the three of them get recruited to D Rank, but Takumi mentions how Maria and Sofia just registered. So instead they do a few quests, involving taking out goblins, kobolds, and gathering Merill herbs. Sofia and Maria however insisted on taking out the Gobin General and the camp and they all got promoted. Takumi to E, Sofia and Maria to F.

My question is, if it’s established that in order to take out a goblin camp you need multiple D Rank adventurers, and the three of them completed this task themselves (mind you, Maple was too busy evolving to help out), WHY ISN’T TAKUMI AT MINIMUM BEING PROMOTED TO D? Is it because Takumi has made it clear that he doesn’t care to be a high rank?

Well I’m excited to see what this group does, and it seems that Marquis Godwin Bolton, the Lord of Bolton, is a decent dude.

Now we have a "protagonist" who gets a nosebleed simply from thinking of a girl in her underwear.

Have you ever met a guy who got a nosebleed from looking at a stark naked girl? No, me neither.

Takumi making those dolls without measurements is still baffling lol it adds an odd charm to the show even if it doesn't make sense

Kaede's mini arakhne evolution and instant teleportation skills were wild reminded me of Kumo desu a bit but with more style it's creepy yet cool

Sofia and Maria stepping up to be a strong party with Takumi is great the respect they've developed feels genuine nice character growth

Really curious about why Takumi isn't getting a higher rank after all those goblin quests maybe he's just not into it who knows

And that scene with the lady with purple eyes was visually striking creates an intriguing vibe around her character pranksteure

I guess Maple was destined to become a waifu after all, I kinda liked her better in spider form but I can’t deny this new form of her’s is also very cute, also reminds me of Kumoko who I dearly miss. And in this one we got to see Takumi and his two beautiful babes become a true adventuring party, I was a bit nervous since they were taking on goblins but I just had to remind myself that not all goblins are like Goblin Slayer goblins lol, I’m sure the slayer himself would approve tho. And I also gotta commend Takumi for his designs for Maria and Sofia’s new outfits, very tasteful, it’s just unfortunate bro can’t stand to even imagine the girls in their underwear that he made for them lol.

And it was inevitable Takumi would be recognized for his talents, it happened with both the guild master and the lord of the land, but thankfully the two of them were good folks so things aren’t out of hand yet, but as the goddess’ tutorial mode wears off we may see him get into trouble eventually. For now tho, our boy is enjoying the life with his waifus in his mansion, also toilets lol.

Like the person who made the first response said, the 3 of them were way to OP for goblins. With those magic enhancing rings, even against that small army stood little real chance, all they had to do is fall back to the trees & snipe at them. Underwhelming fight. The scene in the Guild was better, but I've seen that so many times, I'd rather see one of the girls mop the floor that ENTIRE Party of jackasses. LOL

The girls called Takumi a "wuss" and a "coward," and I have to agree. Why does anime always create this type of main character with these traits? The dude can make them his slaves (technically, they are slaves), create dolls to use for making body armor and weapons, and even make lingerie for them with spider silk, yet he can't keep it together when talking to them. What a shame.

Also, if I were to see Maple’s new evolution, I’d probably faint too. She’s cute, but she’s absolutely terrifying at the same time.

It's cute, a little more goofy than I usually go for, and character facial features/proportions are inconsistent when the animators rotate heads. I'll see what episode 4 reveals and decide if it's worth my time then.

In these guilds, there’s always a group of idiots who act all tough and end up getting wrecked... The Guild Master is already realizing there’s no point overthinking Takumi—just accepting that he’s OP lol.
Kaede evolved, just as I expected—after all, when does a female character not gain a humanoid form, right?!

My favourite character has my favourite VA. 😭😭😭
Maria is so adorable...
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

My favorite line in this episode was "Both of them are my precious friends!" No, they're not. They're slaves that you bought. they only do the things that you ask them to do, because you have a slave contract with them.

Does anyone actually enjoy watching this MC? He is so spineless and cowardly, apologizing, crying and worst of all whining, at the slightest provocation. I am genuinely curious, who enjoys watching this kind of sad, pathetic, groveling MC that has more estrogen than the women that help him. I’m not saying the MC has to be badass but, is incompetent, self-debasing, pathetic, excuse (with immense power that is wasted on him because he’s scared to fight 😓) actually enjoyable to watch??

I can't be the only one who thought this episode moved just a bit too quickly, right?

Although the main plot is Takumi and his friends having their first battle in the adventurers' guild, that only lasts a few minutes and the better part of the episode focuses on Takumi's preparations and the aftermath. Takumi himself seems more concerned about making underwear for his lady friends than fighting enemies.

Now we have a "protagonist" who gets a nosebleed simply from thinking of a girl in her underwear.


This was actually fairly common back in early 2000 manga and anime. It was a trend for MC to nosebleed when they think of lewd things, especially in semi-lewd series.

You can call it a sort of "react" that showcased a person's "blood rushing to their bottom" but showed as blood rushing to their top.

It also acted as a sort of "censorship" so they don't have to show guys getting "wood"


___ ___ ___ ___ ___


LOL @ the Maria and Sophia "dolls" HAHAHA.

But... how did he know their body figure sizes... hmm... I don't remember it being in the stats he viewed earlier.

.

Also LOL @ the "bullies" (that appear in every single fantasy isekai as jokes).

"We're D ranks" (dude sounded so proud...)

.

Maple is so cute as a small Arachne.

And "underwear" hehe...

But... Maria... I think she actually wants some "action"... since she thinks the MC running away from a lewd situation is a "wuss". This means if MC didn't run away, then he would be a "chad" in Maria's view.

Isn't this guy supposed to be an adult? Yet he keeps acting more awkward than a kid. He switches between that sheep-like smile and being embarrassed like he's never been out among people before.

He spent three days making panties - three days - and then freaks out and has to run and hide in his bedroom when he has handed them over.

And this is the guy who took part in slaughtering hundreds of goblins? Who are not on a human level but who are still humanoid, talking beings. Shouldn't that give him shock and nightmares for months? But the mass slaughter is immediately forgotten. Yet panties freak him out.

@Daimao-Ryujin Agree completely! I wish they'd stop making anime with these awkward halfmen. It's supposed to be an excuse for including sexy women and a harem; in return for the women providing the sexy, the man has to be demeaned too by making him ridiculous.

This has been going on for decades; there was a show called Benny Hill in Britain long ago where the main character was an unattractive, goofy man, demeaning him that way in exchange for including sexy women in the episodes.
