THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Choosing your comrades is just as important, and we're introduced to 2 of them: the Battle Chimera Rose and wheelchair-bound Demon Archbishop Grimm, and they're far from being the best ones, chosen under Alice's watchful eye, and No. 6 not giving a care and only in for the harem.

Even Rose trying to be Megumin, at least she pumped out a better effort than No. 6. Getting slaughtered early by the Demon Lord's Elite Four of Heine and Gadalkand, No. 6's ambition to kill because of Grimm's thong...yeah.

No. 6 and Grimm gatecrashing couple land, hah it's all to earn misdeed points.

A combat team of scumbags, with Snow and Grimm's short backstories, well...still a low-ball fun one.

Pretty funny episode 。゚( ゚^∀^゚)゚。
New characters, Rose and Grimm, I really like them both
Well, I knew Grimm wasn't going to die so easily, but using a wheelchair because she can't wear shoes is pretty funny 😂

Six and Alice going against their first bigtime enemy on this world. Meeting some new members of the squad with Rose and Grimm. Rose the cute little chimera girl and Grimm the undying evil god priest. I liked both their introductions this episode. Rose is a cutie with her wanting to eat every demon meat and constantly bringing up her grandfather. Grimm with her wheelchair and weird bounce back curses, also some spicy underwear. The comedy in this show makes me laugh a ton, I did in bunches this episode. Six messing with Grimm and then later with the demon lady taking all those pictures. The bickering that Six and Snow have makes me laugh too. I did feel that he cares about them all when Six saw Grimm get her head smashed in. Staying by her side through the night until she revived. The music this episode sounded great! The opening sounded like an old jazz song same as most of the insert songs in the episode itself, all fit.

Agent Six feels like he is his own enemy...

As I had thought, the personalities in this show is hilarious as usual. Thanks to them for making the show entertaining and Konosuba's author with his usual gimmicks. Rose is a strange kind of entertaining in this show. Hopefully we'll see more of her this season.

Grimm kinda reminds me of Darkness...

I feel like this anime sets-up a deep premise then comedically destroys that and I love it! Great episode, especially the end where she doesn't walk because she can't wear shoes lol

Pretty catchy opening. Looks like six's party will be increasing quite a bit. Still old men as the vanguard and young women as the archers huh odd combination. Rose though has quite the interesting power. Six's dismantling of Grimm's temptation though was amusing. Given Snow's lust for glory that involves finding and fighting the largest group of demon's possible no wonder the nation's army is in such a state. Agent Six's fight against Gadalkand though was fun. Grimm being able to respawn was a nice surprise. Overall an interesting ep that while doing well in introducing the characters of Rose and Grimm also did well to expand upon Six as well. Though he's an idiot at least his heart's in the right place. Grimm's powers have quite the risk tag huh. But with the addition of these two Six's harem team finally has some much needed boost to firepower. Though both are new im really liking them both after their first appearances.

I like those new girls. Grimm might just turn out to be best waifu in this show.
Comedy is... weird. It's not realy bad and had some really good moments (like Six lifting Grimm's skirt), but overall I feel it's a bit lacking.

This episode was kind of funny, I like both of the new characters. Rose is cute and Grimm's hot. Also Six is a man of culture, groped Snow's boobs and saw Grimm's panties lol.

More weirdo joining the group. The chuunibyou Rose, who wants to eat everything, and Grimm, the curse user who sits in the wheelchair because she can't wear shoes. tbh, I start to like Grimm from this episode.
Six's teammates start to be useless from the beginning even they are quite strong. 😂

Six, by groping Snow's boobs and open Grimm's skirt without hesitation, you're the real man of culture. Salute!!

Omg this episode was so good far better than the rushed first episode. I really enjoyed it. I thought it would be unfunny but man I really giggled some time. The pictures making scene or the last one with the foot of the ara ara woman were so fun. Cast seems fun and lively. This ep convinced me to continue. 5/5 I see Konosuba comedy

I love the OP, Miku's voice is so cute. They're trying to make this look like Konosuba and become popular by doing so lol. There was explosion in the first episode, now they made Aqua's famous crying scene with Grimm. It was still cute though. That dragon looking girl has a flesh fang and SHE'S A CHUUNI, she might be favorite character so far.

I agree. At this point and time in the show, it isn't as funny as how konosuba started, but I don't think you'll be disappointed by the later episodes as this show. The light novel series is really good, and gets significantly funnier as the "story" progresses.

Highly disappointing, the new girls are cute and I loved the demon Leader but... first you feel threatened by the two powerful demons and they... just leave like that? Also, I really felt the pain in Rokugo for losing a friend but... she just respawns? Don't get me wrong, I don't want her dead and the non shoes curse was epicly funny but I feel just as played with as Rokugo

Enjoyed this a whole lot more than the last episode with all these hilarious girls. I'm particularly fond of the desperate wheelchair lady Grimm. Almost felt bad for her lmao.

Then there's also delicious Heine who came with a tempting offer. If I was in 6's shoes I wouldn't have rejected it either.

I'll give the show some credit, it i.proved in some of the technical aspects form the first episode, and also the timing and voice performances were decidedly better in this episode. However I still just don't find it funny. Also the animation is poor. Lots of slow pans and close ups on faces to avoid drawing backgrounds. And in this one episode, the animation for an attack was reused frame by frame twice in one battle sequence. If the show was just a comedy I could let the poor animation go but since it appears to be battle heavy I can see this annoying me in the future.
For the people who like this show I'm glad it has improved from the first episode but this is where I tap out

Six is a villain but he really cared to his new teammates, I like that.

I was shocked for how that demon lord general slaughtered Grimm and thought she was really dead, but thank goodness it was not.

Did Six was actually farming Evil Points in last scenes? Lol

The two new characters are great, their recruitment was pretty funny.

Six has absolutely no reservation about getting all in on that ecchi action. The madman.

Decent episode on the whole, action is definitely not this show's strong point but at least Six was taking all the right pictures in the middle of battle. xD

The characters' personalities are similar to those in Konosuba. Grimm's desperateness and Rose's love for food bring another comedic aspect to this show. That demon girl was so damn sexy. I can't wait to see what else this show brings!

I can't help but compare this to the author's previous work. We have useful Aqua, a somewhat Megumin-ish chimera and a cross between Darkness and Wiz and whatever the heck Snow is. And like Konosuba, the primary goal isn't clear, we keep seeing these characters' antics. That's it really, there's nothing to talk about plot here.

I want to kill this episode director, at the start it just felt off but by the time they met the demons he was doing a cut every two seconds.

Also is it just me or are they doing way more jokes(with lots of unfunny ones) per minute when compared to konosuba? it feels almost as they know the jokes aren't that funny so they need to spew them out at an insane speed.

It had some funny parts, like the Rose introduction, but it really just feels like a worse Konosuba. The characters are similar, the incompetent Demon Army is similar, and the unapologetic sexualization is similar (although less creative in how it is presented). The action and animation are clearly in a lower tier than Konosuba and has very quickly introduced many of the key characters.

I think I’ve seen enough to keep me watching till the end, but we’ll see how much I like the next episode.

Was okay. A bit better than episode 1. Seems they later will use the teleportation of weapons (which he can buy for evil points) as "summoning". The normal character - if you want to compare it to KonoSuba - here actually is not the male main. But Alice.

Don't know if this is interesting enough to watch it fully. (Or even more than 1 season - should they make more.) Not nearly as funny as KonoSuba or other similar anime.

Still going to watch the 3rd episode - then deciding.

Agent 6 and his perverted antics, lifting up Grimm's skirt, grabbing Snow by her tits. Man of culture. I just love that the little things like that is being awarded with evil points XD

The two new characters are great! Rose is just cute af, especially the sounds she make when using that breath attack is just funny. Grimm is interesting, her power is absolutely hilarious though. The way it backfires on her when it fails and the reason for the wheelchair is absolutely ridiculous, but I love it regardless.

Gotta love Grimm's voice though and I wonder who is voicing Rose. (MAL database doesn't have one added yet)

I think this is a bit early to say this, but for me, Rose is easily the best girl. She's cute, very likable and her fire breath looked more cute than deadly. She deserves all the meat in the world for her efforts alone. =P

Overall, this ragtag group didn't do well in battle, but they still have a good success with the comedy, thankfully. Agent Six showcased his "Man Of Culture" tag by not only groping Snow's boobs, but also Grimm's skirt to see her underwear, all in the name of collecting evil points. XD

The OP was pretty catchy, while the ED felt upbeat and relaxing, so overall, both are pretty good.

The only downside to this episode was that the pacing felt way too quick at times, but I still enjoyed this episode as a whole.

a bit better than the first episode. im staying for Grimm, Snow and whenever Astaroth shows back up

the OP and ED songs are nice. the OP song has a classic flavor while the ED song is chill. the OP video itself though is bland and boring as hell

i still dont understand the Kazuma comprisons with #6. #6 is just obnoxious and a pest while Kazuma is actually funny and can be subtle about it.
