Nah because something has to be done about these character designs. Specifically the girl our main character met because she has the most hentai character deign I've ever seen. Actually, scratch that, EVERY character that's a girl looks like they're straight out of a hentai lmao.

Animation aside though, I mean really not sure what this anime wants to be... I mean, on one hand, they were setting it up to be one of those 'weak dude gets abandoned by friends because he's so weak' stories, to then completely abandon that idea and just turns to your typical OP MC fantasy kinda thing, I guess? From what I got, this dude is in a similar vein as Cid, so that's the type of troupe they're getting at here I'm assuming.

In short, this guy was in a party, but also in another party that's forming ANOTHER party.. so this guy is in THREE PARTIES??? And people somehow still deem him as weak, as he wants people to think? No way at least one person hasn't seen that this dude belongs to two parties, because as we know in anime, all it takes is one person to spread a rumor and now it's just facts and everyone in the whole damn city knows apparently.

Was a decent start I guess. Pretty generic, but that's fantasy for ya.

Novelist Tsukikage's story is quite the intrigue, and is wild, all at the same time.

Lezel's OP is just fine for a fantasy show.

A party of adventurers that's the key for everyone, and Krai Andrey is one such adventurer whom he had a promise with his childhood friends, but before he could make it big, coincidentally being seen by Level 3 Hunter Rhuda Runebeck to participate in joining a clan. The many standout parties, including one of his childhood friends' group Grieving Souls (also known as the Grievers or First Steps), a fellow childhood friend against a fellow hunter of Level 4 Tino Shade retaliating for a fight, only to be witnessed by the Level 8 "Thousand Tricks" Hunter himself.

The dream of becoming Treasure Hunters for someone who is the Average Joe in a party of notables, Krai wants out to retire being a hunter, but his gifted childhood friends want him in to become their leader instead. The recruitment of such an esteemed clan has everyone up in arms, and for Level 4 Hunter Gilbert Bush, he's one of many in the vein of becoming a member of Ark Brave, and Tino shows her chops as Krai throws his relic rings for everyone to fight amongst each other. Simply put, Krai has never participated in a battle, nor does he ever want to be part of one. But what he can't avoid is facing the Explorers' Association of Zebrudia's Branch Manager Gark Welder on the damage he's caused. At least for Tina, she's very enthusiastic about all things Krai and even wanting an ice-cream date with him, only to be dealt a routine quest.

The premiere episode is funky, but clunky. Just too many things going at once...but this is your standard fantasy shtick.

This is not "misunderstanding" trope, it's something even better, it's "unreliable narration", the hero Krai lies to the audience, which is us, that he's just the ordinary guy but in fact he's very powerful, and his childhood teammates already know that.

With that said, I think the first episode is probably too fast. It has a very good editing skill compare to other anime but I'm afraid it's still not enough to handle this speed.

I do not like the trope of someone is weak but everything thing they are strong (or someone strong who don't think they are strong). If the story leans into this to heavily I will not enjoy this anime.

Quite a good first episode i would say, animation looks great and the story seems like fun (not the worlds most original, but hey what is these days). Looking forward to seeing how this show will progress. I am expecting Krai to actually be quite strong, as these things usually go, but i guess we'll have to wait and see.

I wonder how much milk his armored childhood friend must have been drinking,
that lad grew to become a wall in no time

He's just in one party, and always has been: Grieving Souls.

And the Grieving Souls party is one of the members of the First Steps clan. Is that what you meant? He's definitely not in multiple parties, much less three.

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.

This one is confusing as hell but also hilarious.

So from what I understand is that his friends knew that he's a deadweight but still keep him and even made him as a leader, or this is just gonna be another "Misunderstanding" filled show.

Now I'm gonna keep watching this since there's no way they keep him without any other reasons.

Honestly was getting I Parry Everything PTSD from this.Misunderstandings galore,he thinks he is weak while everyone else dont.The difference being that he seems to acknowledge it but his attempts to clear it up falls on deaf ears.Tho it does share the annoying part that forces everyone to twist his words and actions into completely different meaning.But that's all up to how convincing they make it,maybe hes just that powerful that everyone wouldnt take his words straight.

@IzanaSolos No, the clan is made up of different parties coming together. It didn't start them. We already know MC's party was formed when they were kids. You are also confusing parties and clans. MC is the leader of his party only. He is not the leader of the clan. We saw him groveling to the clan leader at the clan headquarters. The blonde guy that is the leader of the other party we met just seems to be the MC's bitch (since everyone looks up the mc), but he is not the leader of them at all. This is just from watching the EP by the way, I haven't read the source material, so I could be (but quite unlikely) wrong.

It did say he's level 8, which seems to be higher than anyone else in the room (but probably equal to the rest of his party), so it's likely he's quite strong, despite what he seems to believe.

It's possible that's all from passive XP just for being in the party, but it likely still means he has the stats, even if he doesn't do much actual fighting.

Grieving Souls is the party that Krai and his friends founded together. He tried to quit it, and they made him party leader instead.

At some point, Grieving Souls and some other parties founded the clan First Steps together, so it's a group consisting of multiple parties. Krai was made clan leader. (Maybe that's what you mean by "the other 2 made him the party leader"?)

The only party Krai is leading is Grieving Souls. The other parties in First Steps have their own party leaders, e.g. Arc Brave is lead by Ark Rodin.

You're mixing up the First Steps clan and the Explorer's Association.

At 7:51, Ark Rodin says to Krai: "Without you, the clan master and leader of Grieving Souls, we can't get anything started."
After that, it's mentioned multiple times that he is the clan master of First Steps, and we also see his office in the First Steps Clan House later with the Vice Clan Master reporting to him.

And the one asking for Krai (who we see him groveling before later) is "Branch Master Gark" of the Explorer's Association.

So he's not overpowered with levels and skills, for an ordinary guy he seems to use a lot of tools though. Where's his childhood friends now though?

Tino fan art about to go CRAZZYY. Invest now boys.

So this season we got two shows about guild/clan leaders that kinda bullshit their way to the top. This and notorious talker both had really good premieres, this one leans way heavier on the comedic side and it landed for me. Very funny premiere episode. I’m in love with Tino already and Krai getting misunderstood by everyone killed me. Reminded me of Ainz a bit. When he straight up said he’s horrible at judging people and just left the dude’s admission to the guild up to luck I lost it 😂

After we just finished Tensura last week, this basically Masayuki spin off if you think about it lmao. Poor thing just happened to find himself in a leadership role he’s not prepared to deal with. Can’t wait to see how he and Tino quest next week goes, excited
