Heh, Mathias winning his fight in front of everyone not only proved himself but now, he has to deal with demons in their world.

The relationship dynamic between Mathias, Lurie, and Armas is kinda cute imo even when they're down at that dungeon. Got to see Arma use her archery skills while Lurei displayed her talent of magic. At least the episode took itself seriously with them fighting a giant snake. And I'm not surprised to see Mathias taking care of business.

No one, even the king himself, questioned Mathias about his abilities or knowledge about the demon. LMAO... He was like pop out from nowhere and know everything about the demon, as well as, his wordless overpowered magic skills.

Lurie was cute, and, maybe, she was also jealous when Mathias talked to Arma. 😏

fripSide's OP is just so generic and unimpressive. Yuki Nakashima's ED is just fine.

Lurie is just too cute lols, and Alma is good to check on her once every so often with her unconscious affection on Matthias. The king of the kingdom is so lax with handing out the reward to him, though he'd not want land nor weapons, but dungeon resources like a treasury.

The magical chosen ones chosen to drive out demons that backfired, Matthias is one to fill in the blanks with the passing of time, and the one thing they don't have is time for new plans, which Matty helps to fill that gap since magic development is very outdated.

The trio's party into the dungeon, and that serves as good practice and tests for both girls to train the incantation-less spells from Matty, in accordance with their crests. Since Matthias is trained before his reincarnation, the same OP skills carry-over does the same here.

It's good that the pacing slowed down substantially, but this just still feels average.

This is so much like Kenja no Mago it's unreal, but whearas that show with it's Gary Stu and his groupies pissed me off immensely, for some reason I don't feel the same animosity towards this clone. Maybe it's the MC's attitude or (poor) pacing, can't quite it figure out.

Not that this is a good anime by any means of course. Stable 5/10 so far.

Mathias going up in the ranks fast. He gotta make a barrier to protect the kingdom but that'll be a piece of cake to him for sure. Also the dungeon they went into didn't really have a dungeon vibe to it at all.

This was a good episode, was quite enjoyable even though everything felt pretty cliché and generic.

The OP and ED are good.

Like I said earlier one will enjoy the hell outta this show if they just turned their brain off. I did and am enjoying this.

I don't like Lurie when she gets too excited, she gets too clingy man wtf stay away.

Though I liked how Matty kun taught Alma how to use bow properly using magic and taught Lurie to make stuff. That was nice.

Everything was seriously pretty cliché though ngl. Overpowered MC accomplishing unimaginable feats, girls getting impressed and fawning over him, nothing new. Still they way it is done is still entertaining, didn't feel bored at all so I'm still going to keep watching it.

Looking forward to next episode.

Lmao true, can't believe nobody questions him. But the thing that is irritating me the most and makes NO sense(since I'm used to OP protagonists and Isekai/Fantasy Anime) is HOW does he behave this way with women??? He's lived for HUNDREDS of years, multiple lifetimes, yet he acts like he's a legit 13 year old who's never even held a girls hands!!

I'd love to get an answer from someone who's read the books, did he seriously live three other lifetimes and NEVER once have a wife, girlfriend, or girls as friends or in his party??? Dude knows about lifetime after lifetime of death battles with Demons/devils but he never lived with a woman or kissed her to the point that he can't even ask two girls to be in his party without blushing?

Great episode! Mathias really did prove his strength defeating that demon by himself and the king grants him his request to explore the dungeons. He also is going to put up a barrier to prepare to protect everyone from the demons when they arrive. He forms a party with Alma and Lurie and teaches them skills making them pretty powerful. The Arc Serpent boss he went against was destroyed very fast by his OP abilities.

Looking forward to the next episode!

Better than the first episode.

It was great seeing Arma and Lurie improving themselves and getting stronger with Mathias' help.

I feel like I'm going to be really disappointed with the demons in this show.

Ah yes it wouldn’t be a new anime season without the generic isekai power fantasy show. Most of them I really enjoy because isekai is my fave genre, but this one feels pretty boring. Reminds me of hachi-nan tte from a couple years ago.

Still fast paced huh, I wonder how many episodes will be like this? And how the King don't know there are treasure on his castle dungeon, and instead easily handed the dungeon to strangers?

This anime also have generic isekai checklists like magic, harem, undefeatable and unchallengeable main character. And there's no aspect that differentiate this anime than the rest. I'm done with this, bye.

They are still moving at an incredibly fast pace, but they have already covered such a large portion of the generic fantasy plot points, that they have to have more things planned. Although I did notice that it felt like they gave just a bit more time to the girls this episode. If they continue with their generic fantasy speedrun, we might actually get some time for some nice character moments. Although, it could just continue at this breakneck pace and have MC fighting gods or something by the end of the season.

Still not sure if I should be worried yet, but it was enjoyable enough so far.

Alright, finally the little flashback before the first episode event, which mean, synopsis retelling. Already the strongest mage the universe ever created, greed for power making that virgin mage seek to even more strongest power. Imagine trying to be more stronger by reborn yourself thousand of years on the future. This the exact opposite of the time leap show where you wish to be a better person by leaping to the past. But this dude, instead, goin to the thousand year future, which surprisingly not so futuristic world. Idk how its works, lets just follow the story rule where the demon successfully making mankind just be dumb, and succumb to death, but not actually be death on a real term. However, by the arrival of the past strongest mage, he actually creating an unbalance environment toward the universe stability. The thousand years where human live in harmony with demon, but now they'll go to war again because of one random kid appeared killing arrogant disguised demon in one random competition.

That one subject of matter i say can actually be an interesting discussion subject to issue on this episode. No matter how generic this show is. However, since i am so freakin lazy, with all my poor soul can be gathered, i think lets just cease it just like that.

In short, let all the convenient way to be stronger this mc got at his new life, and all the cute girls around, to flow in casual. I am just okay with that.

This episode was a bit better than the first episode, although that's not saying much since this series still feels a bit too generic and the pacing is too quick at times.

Still, at least I find the OP to be good. FripSide has a good consistency of nice OP songs and this one is no exception. The ED, while basic, was cute and relaxing, which I do like quite a bit. =)

Matthias did a good job in helping Lucie and Alma to learn their magic which made their time in the dungeon easier. No surprise that Matthias then went off alone to solo a giant snake while collecting more valuable ores, which was rather typical, but at least it gave him a chance to see what he can do currently.

I do want to see the red-haired girl from the OP/ED soon, as she does look rather cute. =3

Was about to post about that... Why the weird change?
Also the pacing is insane.
They are already at the end of chapter 10, and the chapters are long compared to most shounen (50 pages instead of 20). In other words, if every two manga chapters are 5 regular manga chapters, they adapted almost 25 chapters in freaking 2 episodes! That's beyond fast pace...

Yeah... this episode wasn't as entertaining as the first one to me. Or rather, it was harder for me to turn my brain off and not become nitpicky. Like with the king or Lurie's kinda annoying personality.

Seems like dropping this show or watching more of it will all depend on Iris next episode.

the first half was at the decent pacing. The dungeon look too "clean" to be a dungeon but I guess we can ignore that for now.

But then, the snake fight is sooo bad.

Is this the same studio made railgun?

I enjoyed the showcase of his skills soloing the floor boss that I regret it was over when he returned on the upper floor. The demons are about to have a rude awakening after being complacent living and undermining human magical skills for centuries.

MC predicts a devil invasion in 3 months so he sets out to search for materials he needs to construct a barrier for the city/country in a dungeon. A lot of plot convenience going on to make this happen like lack of knowledge of dungeon loot, dungeon walls being in tact despite having useful resources, bosses still alive etc. still watching because OPMC tho

Those poor dungeon shell creatures, reduced to magic bow practice...

Got to say so far it's pretty weird how Matthias who's probably thousand years old and most of the time serious, suddenly blushes when asking 12-year old girls to go with him to the dungeon.
