| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Tama and Pochi look so happy this episode...it's like they've ate food the first time or something. Attack of the slime...figured this show would eventually have this type of monsters show up. The fight felt meh, just a lot of RPG elements mixed in. Satou's role is still the usual hero with him trying to do the right thing. Music improved this episode though. |
 |
| First dungeon cleared and he got a few slaves out of it. The question now is will he behave like a harem main or like a men. Anyway he is keeping his identity hidden making his intentions clear but who know if his identity will be discovered or not. |
| Rip the only way to have a more clear viewing of those tiny-sized titles & skills is to read the WN/LN. |
| Geez we're really rolling now. If the first three episodes were more leisurely paced than expected this one kinda felt the opposite. I guess I just remember reading these events as they unfolded at a slower pace which gave them more weight. Here it almost felt like just trying to get through the labyrinth asap. Oh well, I still enjoyed it enough. Now time to meet Lulu and Arisa. |
| I wonder what would happen if we went through the series and counted how many skill points he uses and checked if they match the number of skill points he should have had at the beginning. I can almost guarantee that it won't match. Hell, even in this episode he gained a bunch of resistance abilities, but most if not all MMOs do not let you respec or re-allocate points in combat. Second, the point about defeating monsters with weapons that require special titles is sort of ridiculous. Having to change titles mid-combat to do stuff is also silly. Shouldn't the NPCs be able to see the title next to your name? How did none of them not notice the "God-Slayer" title next to his name? Hell, how does wearing a weird wardrobe cause his name to not appear? This is so sloppily put together. |
| 3 épisodes and a half is where i drop this, MC's voice is unbearable. I'm out.  |
| overpowered protagonist.... the biggest problem here was there was never a danger right.... still it was ok seeing the development of characters |
 |
| There's a shitton of problems with this series but I'll pick up just one that was at the end so it was easier to remember: surely two hotties didn't sell. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Leveling up and beating the eye demon and lion demonlord. The jerk guy also learns his lesson and more slaves coming :) ibraheem234 said: the biggest problem here was there was never a danger right No, he's inexperienced in combat so the demon could have killed the others and he can't use big moves or he'll kill everyone. |

They can't see the name/title of people. The MC only needed the wardrobe to disguise himself so the people wouldn't recognize him. |

| Well, the question is why so many LN authors are bothering with stupid MMO limitations instead of making actual fantasy. |

I can almost guarantee that it won't match. You are very mistaken. He has gained 3090 skill points and must have gained 15 abilities so far and if he maximizes all of them he will only have spent 150 skill points. Unrealistic, but ok. I'll go ahead and give the series the benefit of the doubt. Every series needs to be built on a single premise, and having an unrealistic, broken gaming system seems to be this series' thing. I'll go ahead and re-evaluate with this in mind. chunng said: Shirasho said: Second, the point about defeating monsters with weapons that require special titles is sort of ridiculous.

Otherwise, there would be no point in hiding his true level. If you're criticizing an anime, you should at least pay attention first. I heavily criticize series like this because I am Satou. I am a developer nearing my thirties. It is difficult for me to look past things that don't actually happen or are unrealistic in video games. Talk to anybody in quality assurance and they will tell you the same thing - they can't enjoy video games as much as when they started because they start noticing all of the flaws. It is also difficult for me to look past unrealistic behaviors of game programmers near my age. The problem is not that I'm not paying attention. The problem is that I am paying too much attention and know how video games tick internally. Also, there is no need for you to be a dick. |
| From my memory of the WN, this dungeon chapter is a bit different and shorter.. ~Correct me if these happened later They didn't explain level-up fatigue. They moved the demon lord fight from a second time entering the dungeon to now. They didn't go through the dungeon-exit procedure where they check weapons/cores. sigh I was hoping for more when I heard this would be adapted to an anime. Seems like I can only expect another 12-episode anime. There aren't enough cute ear-expressions from Tamaxpochi to make up for this feeling!! |
 |
| This was an okay episode. Tama, Pochi and Liza were helpful in clearing the dungeon. Satou got two new slaves and apparently one of them knows him. |
 |
| I really want to enjoy this nEw and OrIgInAl iSeKaI anime that is Death March but the quality of this show is just really lacking. I will probably watch the rest anyway to see how many girls he ends up with, because we can't expect him to pick any particular one (duuuuh common sense bruh) |
hithummah said: This anime is so garbage. Very bad episode with stiff animation [and] too many still-images... The scary part is its fanbase. I mean look [at] the rating. -watch Overlord for a better isekai with op mc -watch Ryuuou no Oshigoto for a better lolicon anime -watch Killing Bites for an entertaining trash The anime ain't garbage if it at least has a story to follow. It's true that you can't call it an anime if it's riddled with still-frames, but they still do the service of providing illustrations. As for the fanbase, readers will obviously be disappointed when corners are cut. Anime just doesn't have as much freedom as a written story without time constraints. Now for your comparisons: - Overlord was fortunate enough to be adapted by Madhouse, so of course it comes on top in quality. - Not a lolicon anime. MC has been portrayed as having little to no interest in children since he has the mind of an adult. (IMO, his preference is MILFs) - Killing Bites also doesn't live up to the source material, be it the fault of the studio or the targeted audience. |

| Give me at least 5 minutes to modify my post before quoting me. (refreshing page advised) |
| It seems to me like they rushed a lot more than i expected. Than again since the original source material had a lot of skill and titles explanation as well as a lot of inner dialogue that is cut out in this series it might explain why i feel that way. Look i will admit it is not the best of isekai titles but it is fun to watch just to get rid of bit of time. Hell it is a lot better than smartphone the last isekai i watched. |
| How many skill points does he have lmfao |
 |
| ugh another mediocre episode, i seriously never can like the MC, he is so blant and uninteresting, but still i will give it another chance, looks like next episode there will be some new characters coming, i hope and really hope there will be a good something happen... |
 |
| @tetragramat Why did somebody bother keeping them or taking into slavery at all then? |

It's just another cut out content... Black haired one is ugly, because she is asian and everyone else is not and they do not see asians as pretty. If I remember correctly, purple hair Arisa is unwanted because she has purple hair (superstitions). Except that it's not. Lulu and Arisa just appeared in the last few seconds of this episode. The background story of the two will come in the next episode most likely. |

| What a splendid animation this episode, so dynamic! New approach to the harem genre - now with slaves - is so fresh! Yeah, as if. I don't even remember now why I started watching this show. |

tetragramat said: TheBigGuy said: Except that it's not. Lulu and Arisa just appeared in the last few seconds of this episode. The background story of the two will come in the next episode most likely. I bet it is. They cut out everything important and they will cut even this. I mean look at those last few seconds. How would you fix that and at the same time keep rushing everything? They didn't cut anything important this episode, other than the whole "the one who finds ownerless slaves becomes the new master" and "being a demi-human slave is safer than being a free demi-human in the Seryuu city region". I guess a bit character/world building for Satou (bribing guards for better treatment of other detainees), the slave merchant (he is ironically one of the nicest guys around) and the noble guy (was straying true to his word about the reward by giving Satou preferential treatment during the skipped detention period, showing that the nobles are not neccessarily the universally sterotypical super bad class of society that only knows how to exploit others). Also the fast forwards regarding the dugeon traps and that house where Satou found the magic scroll. It is a shame that those weren't shown properly, but I don't think it's THAT important. The director of this anime seems to often focus on the quality of later episodes. It might be similar to Rakudai Kishi no cavalry, which had the same director. There the first episode were also really quite bad, but got really good near the end. Also something many people seemed to have failed to notice: Arisa said Satou, not Satoo. As for the whole skill points issue: It was actually shown in EP1 that he has 3100 skill points and it costs him 10 skill points to max a skill, so he has the flexibility to max upto 310 skills right now, including the skills he already maxed. |

| Good thinking there having the other party members do some actions so they can gain some exp, the grinding will take quite a while though. If only there was some kind of exp share skill, he could kill everything and the other members will benefit from it. I haven't seen a rat before or a giant wild cat, but the other night I laid traps and caught a mouse that was hanging around the kitchen. I also would have left that guy behind, saving a powerful wealthy noble will definitely have benefits in the future, plus it looks like his fire magic is good. Haha ask him if he's cheating later. Confusion magic, a good tactic to use against a large number of people. Wow what sword, cut the wild cat in half, I originally thought maybe he was going to use some kind of taming magic & try to make it a pet. Demon lord as the final boss for the dungeon, he was able to defeat it without the holy sword sword, good thing he had strong resistance to every status effect, fair enough that he disguised himself since he ddin't want to stand out. Good thing he saved that slave trader, he was able to officially add those 3 plus he got 2 including the witch Arisa, they way she great him was funny. Thank you for apologizing to the demi humans at the end there. |

He actually used a divine sword (which can only be used properly if one has the "God-Slayer" title), which is even stronger than a holy sword (which can only be used properly if one has the "Hero" title), to finish the Demon Lord off. |
|
| Wow, they burned through that fast with some slideshow montage. Rather strange considering how long that dragged out episode 1 and 2 with meaningless details like him eating super long. I was actually expecting them to drag out the labyrinth and end with the demon appearing. Oh well. The fight itself was pretty meh but not like I expected much. Still not liking the magic casting voices. Teasing by ending off showing the next two girls. |
antonn said: u.u Why can't these things be as good as Overlord is! Overlord pulls out a bunch of scenes and details and still makes people who have read the LN & manga excited for the next episode.kyled00m said: Fighting the demon lord now is how it happened in the manga.

| Yeah, this is where I draw the line on this one. Everything is so generic from the story (with what little there is) to the animation. I'm done. 2/10 |

Nah he's just competent and mature. Yeah, but we need more than just competence and maturity. We need development... we don't get that considering he's getting everything on the fly. He suddenly gets a slave harem bc reasons.. |
| Pretty much just an episode dedicated to labyrinth exploration. We got some action as well, but the animation left a lot to be desired. The end of the episode was interesting though with these 2 new slave girls, and I agree with @Grey-Zone, why is no one mentioning the fact that Arisa pronounced his name SatOU instead of SatOO? I caught that immediately and realized something is up with that girl... |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Arisa is pretty as fuck! Man, its hard to convince myself that im not a lolicon. |

tetragramat said: bitchassdarius said: did i miss something? why is he able to acquire every resistance randomly? also, why did he have to disguise himself? also what's the difference between a maxed out low-skill magic spell and a high-skill magic spell? does this game just have bad balancing? is the scaling so bad that something at lvl 40 or 60 can honestly challenge someone thats over level 300? man, this show is so restricted by it's incoherent, inconsistent game logic. at least in smartphone, the MC was obviously OP so he didn't have to tiptoe around arbitrary rules that exist solely to maybe present an obstacle You should read the WN. Anime is rushed and left some things unexplained or mentioned in so fast way it was easily forgoten by viewer. WN is fully translated in english. Search sousetsuka. Find and download the pdf into your phone and read everytime you have few minutes of time. KamenRiderMagna said: Yeah, this is where I draw the line on this one. Everything is so generic from the story (with what little there is) to the animation. I'm done. 2/10 Try WN. While it's true that some things were left out in the anime (or unfortunately ignored by the subbers - thereby creating a raft between Japanese and English version, like the entire EP1 and the status hiding screen in EP2), many things people are complaining about here were actually explained, like "omg isn't he afraid of others seeing his God-Slayer title". Yea, let's just ignore the existence of the Yamato stone introduced in EP2 where the guy was clearly indicating that he didn't know about Satou's personal information until after the scan by the Yamato stone. But ehh, the next episode will make it very clear, just like EP3 explained why Satou suddenly became lvl 310 - which obviously wasn't by killing only lvl 50 lizardmen, but mainly by killing the Dragon God (the other dead dragons which weren't explicitly mentioned probably only amounted to a difference of less than 10 lvls at best). But the real problem here is that people go into the series with a "It's a generic isekai harem where I just have to turn my brain off" attitude and then complain that they missed things because their brains were turned off. The whole "why is he hiding himself" is an idiotic question. It made sense for Touya in isekai smartphone because he had no problem with being a celebrity and public figure. Now here is the question: How do the words "celebrity" and "going on a leisure trip for sight-seeing"? Exactly, they don't mix at all. Every time you enter a city everyone screams "look! it's hero-sama! Hero-sama came to our city!" and instantly a crowd forms. It's really not that hard to deduce why Satou wants to avoid that. But that would require dropping the "I have to turn my brain off to watch this" premise, and that seems to be too much for some people here. |
|
| I don't really say this often but this episode was honestly very underwhelming and really mediocre. Couldn't really find myself invested in anything that happened. The execution was just bland and there's really no other way to describe it. I'll stick around for more episodes hoping this gets better. The ending was pretty interesting with Arisa calling Satoo Satou so let's see. |
