It must have a solar charging system lol XD
Anyway, the cliffhanger was really... hmm... Okay, I need more... :D
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.

Holy shit that Slayer opening! What a throwback!

But this episode was the best of the 3 so far. It'll probably be a harem but I've never had a problem with them so that's none of my concerns. The cast introduced in this episode were all to my liking
His phone could realistically survive a week if he turned it off and used it minimally so I'll let that "plot hole" pass

So this is definitely not an anime for people looking for a masterpiece or anything amazing, but I figure that it will keep most people entertained enough even with flaws, which is fine because not every series has to be critically acclaimed. In the end, anime is a hobby and something a lot of us use to relax, and frankly these good to OK shows helps balance it out nicely because it'd be difficult to watch 10-20 quality series each week. It'll serve as a decent palet cleanser


You are actually wrong about it being just good, although that depends on taste.

Episodes 5/6 to 12 of the anime will be the tightest writing you will ever see for a LN that does not focus on action ( this has plenty of action, mind you). I would put this part of the anime, if executed well, on the level of Jojo fights if you count strategizing as a battle. Although, do tone down your expectations considering how you like other anime.


I'm a bit confused, why should I lower my expectations when I don't rate it that highly? I just said that it's not as bad as people are making it out to be and that it's a decent show

Interesting decision. Skipping parts to straight introduction them all. Oh well, not like i can complain much considering its just a usual way to fasten up a bit the story.

Strange, huh, Kazuya? That's what i think exactly when you got that phone still alive, got an auto-translated one language and had a poltergeist hand in your control.

Anyway, most of the part kinda missing and not so interesting after all. This is just Kazuya sitting and let them introduced whose them, whats their talent and their cases, one by one, just that. However, i think this is still fine considering the objective of this episode solely to introduced the five of them. That's it. Still, ugh, i feels shallow watching this, moreover with those not-so-wise cliffhanger.

However, i should've continue no matter what, and hopefully there's something more interesting goin on later....

Everything in this was infuriatingly stupid. It's like it was written by a dumbass who thinks they are smart and are too stupid to know they aren't. And that's exactly how the king comes off. The only way this show could work now is if the supposedly smart guy just volunteered so he could manipulate him and take over. Easy drop.
i actually understand what you want to say but please believe me, this is not like what you see, author who write this is pretty smart actually, because the original creation is 100% more good than this, even manga adaptaion from this product 100% more good than adaptation anime so Please suppress your anger, if you want to curse, curse director who direct this anime and not the author.

(this comment is 100% from my respect to original creator who make this series and no other mean) (Please don't misjudge some series before until you confirmed about it)

She speaks what her world calls merchant slang. Because of the way the translation works for summoned heroes, MC hears it as Japanese slang.

Sorry about confusing you, I was just trying to say that the anime is not as mediocre as you might think as the meat of the story happens later on. I just wanted to change your opinion on the anime, so sorry about that.

A full ep of Kazuya judging peoples talents is not exactly what I'd call thrilling, but it is good that we get to at least see and meet the new characters. I wonder what that cliffhanger is going to be about.

The wacky camera movement from episode 1 is back.

lots of cringe moments and i hate being reminded that smartphone exist ,how does it still work for some reason i thought he tried to sell it off but that was in black company.

could not stop thinking about how bias he was to the guy that "eats a lot" i understand the kind of knowledge he'll have on foods of the world will be useful but right after him was a dude that was a walking encyclopedia ,i'd feel a bit insulted if that guy was given a title before even doing anything lol or anyone for that matter

The only thing I want to know is how his phone battery lasted that long.

Aside from that the talents of those chosen guys were weird in a bad way. A guy who has eaten dishes from all over the world!? Calling a chef who has prepared dishes from all over the world would be more useful! And what use would a singer be of!? So much for being "realistic"!

MC is supposed to be a"realist." The series isn't about being overly realistic, I mean there's magic for crying out loud.
Realist - "a person who recognizes what is real or possible in a particular situation : one who accepts and deals with things as they really are."

Poncho's talent is his knowledge of food from all corners of the world. That knowledge just might be a tad bit useful for a kingdom currently suffering from a food shortage.

What use does a singer have in today's world? There's your answer.

Yes, I'm well aware that the isekai has magic but I'm talking about his foolish decisions in hiring a singer and foodie. The foodie is useless unless he can cook what he has eaten. Also ever heard of Maslow's triangle? Their country has a shortage of food and funds, not the best time to be hiring a singer. Getting someone who has knowledge about farming/various crops or economy would have been far more useful.

I like this show - so far. It is nice to see a change from the conventional Isekai / heroic / adventure cliches. Battles, wars and adventures are important but they are not the only things that matter. It is more effective and efficient to think of the big picture, like the lead does, with intellect and pragmatism. It is arguably more honorable as well, since battles and wars should always be the last, not the first resort.

The drawback of this though is how to keep the interest of the audience. 3 episodes on I think they've done well, but later on if they keep up the same pace the show might turn boring. We do not watch anime / read manga to see a faithful mirror of real life or to be treated to the most efficient solutions to various issues after all, we do it to be entertained and have fun.

So I really wonder if they are going to retain audience interest later on or if they lose most of it..

DUMB

"thin out the forest" even though forests survived for millennia without mankind needing to thin them

let's sing a fooking song. let's FOOKING NOT!!! i hate singing in anime. it's goddamn awful

his cellphone battery should've died by now. and broadcasting these people's skills to the whole kingdom seems like a bad idea in regards to the kingdom's "security" interests

i had moderately high expectations for this episode with the new characters being introduced. episode 2 was bad. but the king making a call for those who could assist him was the only thing that interested me. except their introduction is womp womp boring af

EDIT: this wolf girl has me intrigued, solely because of this cliffhanger ear whisper thing. but her shyness is...annoying

Dark elf martial prowess huh, no wood elves with their archery skills?

I was joking about American Idol auditions, apparently we got an Idol on this side too!

Maybe they will look for tastier and cheaper but nutritionally better food or cooking techniques, etc using the glutton's knowledge?

So this dude is our tactician/strategist?

Actually..."I need to pee./I'm hungry." is what I expect she will say. LOL

You do realize that the phrase doesn't encompass all problems right? The phrase is basically used to to point out the convenience of magic in solving most of the problems, if not all. And creating food based on magic is not entirely impossible, similar to sci-fi settings recreating food by recreating it's molecular structure. But doing that needs an advanced understanding of science. And the current is medieval, get the point? Magic is convenient, but it still needs a level of understanding to properly use it.


And when you use that as your excuse, it stops becoming an engaging storyline in my eyes. Every time there's an infrastructure issue, I'm going to ask "okay, they have magic Facetime, why is there no magic to resolve this?"

The show is basically saying:

"We use magic to solve all of these problems."

"Okay, well what about THESE problems?"

"We can't use magic to solve them."

"Why not?"

"Because we need something for our MC to do."

When you're presenting a series that is ostensibly about solving problems the way this series is, there needs to be very clear reasoning why magic is off the table. Explain to me why they can't use, say, plant magic to make crops grow? I'm assuming they have water magic, fire magic, wind magic, etc. So why is it that the magic that would solve THESE problems is conveniently not available? It's contrived writing and it shows how lazy the magic system in this series is. Which, for a series that's purporting to be about realistic solutions to problems, is a very glaring flaw.



Good post bringing what is weak about this show.


I started this out of curiousity to compare with the other "being realistic in a fantasy" similar show:
https://myanimelist.net/anime/14833/Maoyuu_Maou_Yuusha

(The story seems fascinating, but the rushed anime adaptation destroyed it)


But both are inferior to the pure gold series that one day will gain a proper animation: Release that Witch

One of the best novel i've seem. The best non-wuxia fantasy from chinese author.

Even the way RtW links the realist hero and a world with magic is brilliant (it is in the title btw)

Liscia looks so fine wearing her sleeping clothes, So the interview begins this should be good

Oh Liscia don't worry Kazuya won't just go after boobs right surely that was cute though, Damn I thought Juna's VA was going to sing that was a missed opportunity she was good

So I see he's still sharp as ever and actually praised Poncho for starters I was doubting but as he mentioned he's like expertise in cuisine Kazuya has sharp eyes, So Kwonmin is like Kong Ming that just makes it more interesting.

So not only is his poltergeist cloning ability good for mass-handling paperwork, but he can connect remotely to them in real-time to look up information when he needs it, nice.

They made it sound like a lot of people signed up, but there was only 5 there lol. Gonna be a lot more for the next recruitment drive though after he accepted Poncho.

I like how nonchalant he is about talking about his homeworld and flashing his phone when he needs it. "Oh you don't know a happy song? Just listen to this one from my phone." A lot of other isekai treat it like being from another world is some huge secret.

Aside from the dark-haired guy, none of these talents seem especially useful. The "deceptively useful fat dude" subversion is still a bit questionable too, as his only talent seems to be eating every sort of dish out there, which almost seems counterproductive in a starving (?) nation. It's not even a case of this guy having knowledge of what regions the ingredients for hearty dishes can be procured in, or even how to cook them; the only description we've been given of him is that he merely eats a lot of food.

These "talent auditions" seem to have also led to even more people migrating to Elfrieden from other regions for the bountiful rewards Souma is offering, which could prove troublesome too.

I did like the tits in this episode though. They're a talent in themselves. And we'll see what the dog/wolf loli has to offer as well, once she finishes a sentence.
