| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Training camp huh? The usual lighthearted comedy aside, it seems there's a problem about demons turning humans into them. Felt like a buildup episode for something bigger. I'm actually curious to see how the others (besides Shin) improved from this training. |
 |
| Episode 7 and we have ourselves a fan-service episode lmao. JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER ECCHI SERIES THAT I"VE SEEN |
| Looks like the other students have improved in using their magic. Next episode, a training camp. |
 |
| That was a very entertaining episode, the members of the study group are becoming stronger, aug is doing a good job mediating everyone. Lol drawing lots to take on the demons was fun to watch. Training camp hype |
 |
| I actually enjoyed this episode compared to some others. Comedy wasn't too bad and I like training sessions. |

| Even when you try to consider the lighthearted comedy and fanservice, it just doesn't hit well at all. This show in terms of adaptation is having an identity crisis right in plain sight. This episode pretty much should confirm, if not epitomize, all the issues this show has had so far. For the original source material this is based off of, pacing means a lot if not everything. |

Curious as what you are even talking about to be honest. Read @DjangoUnchained2's previous comment and you'll know what I'm referring to. |

Mattinator95 said: I believe the operative word here is "adaptation" for both manga and anime. Since the anime is usually created after the LN/WN and the manga, there often has to be a choice of which version to follow, and regardless of the choice, the criticism will follow.interesting so its another one of those where the manga does its own thing and focus on something different then the Light novel kinda like slime , if someone compared the Manga and LN of slime people would see a massive difference I'm just reading these chapters in the the LN, and I found the episode to be a pretty good adaptation thereof. It's light-hearted comedy and romance for sure, but how could you think it would be otherwise with the opening theme and visuals. The rather cavalier treatment of the horror that the Empire is undergoing is a bit of a mismatch, true enough, but it is sometimes tough to talk about "realism" when you're dealing with an isekai fantasy world and a Gary Stu lead. Actually what I find most interesting is the world building. Augustus is the poster boy for "enlightened monarchy" and, as he demonstrates time and again, is extremely knowledgeable about the political and social consequences of the decisions that he and Shin make. In this episode, he basically turned the Ultimate Magic research group into his world's version of the Manhattan Project, and his discussion of the reasons for doing so echoes the strategic decisions that the U.S. had to make after they developed the first atomic bombs. |

| Is it bad that I think that Shin and Maria would be better for each other? Their chemistry is great and Sicilly is kinda boring. As opposed to other "nice girl" characters like Honda Tohru from Fruits Basket, she's kind without any substance behind it. |
 |
| Shouldn't they be developing their story plot at this point in time, instead of wasting it on worthless fanservice. The only thing interesting about the episode was the Demon bear, RIP big fella! You just can't take this shit of an anime seriously or let alone enjoy it! |

| @lihle808 even on fanservice parts they show interesting conversations and plans for the future, i don't get why people have to hate author for "wasting" 2 minutes of a series with 240 minutes, specially when lots of people look forward to those scenes... just lol also as someone who watches long running shows like Naruto/Boruto/one piece with thousands of fillers... i'm sure you're used to many episodes where you write "You just can't take this shit of an episode anime seriously or let alone enjoy it!" |
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |
DjangoUnchained2 said: Seems unfair comparing the fillers in a show like Naruto/Bleach with ones in this anime, they are pretty much on different tiers quality wise.... i watched every single episode of Naruto and i'm sure there's a few that are not super good :V if we add Boruto, theres quite a few bad episodes just in the last 10... anyway i'm enjoying every episode here, so tbh i don't care if they are fillers @ecchigodmamster yo save me from these ecchi haters :v |

| i feel like the quality of this show ruins the manga. I am rather disappointed with the overall feel of the show. |
| oh here we go again with the obligatory Onsen episode! 3/5. |
 |
| I hate to say that about an isekai but this anime really sucks, worst than isekai smartphone |
| The fanservice episode. You can't blame the anime,the story is meh at best. Making all of Shin's friends as OP as the most powerful magicians there are in the military in the spawn of couple of episodes seems idiotic to me. I'm just here for Sicily's cute smile. Anything else is extra. So I'm fine with this anime. |
| It's already 7 episodes but ugh, okay i might be overreacting since the show still airing, but i just can't stand this show any longer. The characters aren't interesting and could be annoying, dialogues are shit and many moments are cringeworthy, the story well it's just there but nothing makes anything special about it (Something i shouldn't expect, but many people said this show has a good story so i had my expectation first but it failed, at least in the anime version), the pace felt so fast even me as the non-manga reader could feel that isn't right, and the villains are lame. Don't get me wrong, i like watching dumb anime, they could provide a weird sense of fun sometimes, but idk i can't enjoy this show as much as them. Probably because this anime brought a great promise at first way before it was aired, ai have seen people said this anime could top The Hero Shield or other isekai anime like Slime-kun since they said the story would be dark so fast and it also has great actions, yes i know those anime aren't perfect but IMO it's still a lot better than this anime which is why i really had a quite expectation at first. But so far nah, it's just an utter garbage IMO. And i don't read the manga, so this is pure my opinion about the anime only.. But well my opinion probably getting neglected away anyway so who cares.. |

elementex said: bigdps said: How come this garbage has score higher than 7? Ffs the story feels like it was written by a self-centered teenager. It's better than slime and that has an 8.23 Slime isn't a great anime, and yes the rating is overrated but i don't see any reasons this show could be better than slime, everything just feels lame, i don't know are you joking or not unless you give the points.. |
