I'm liking this better than most here, it's cliched but expressive and at least the artstyle is somewhat clean

Everything is fine for now, but I think the animate of anime is boring

They can do better than that

I hope they make better progress on the animation simulation level in the upcoming episodes

Finally, something that looks like a non-cliché series. Science vs Magic...? but there's more than that. Destruction? Massacre? Fortunately, there's no notebook.

...and they killed the heroine just like that... I'm worried.

The animation really needs a bit more frames to be more fluid and smooth.

It's crazy how the powerful people in that organization enslaved young women to be sexually played with, then killed them like that, like they're cattle. That sniper character is really creepy but what's probably more darker is his buffed boss.

For now, this is really dark, quite dark.

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.

Adonis seeking revenge and crying mid-fight hits hard. "Please let me feel better." His killing the guard after her pleading for him to stop was ruthless🥶🥶. That ending spun me. I didn't expect her to get dropped like that😂. Bro really said, "Aww what a shame it wasn't a two-for-one." He is a menace. Adonis is finally about to no longer feel alone just for his salvation to die.

I can do bad predictable writing (well I could not have predicted the giant "robot" as an effective weapon), and megalomaniacal destruction, but smug, overpowered teenage antagonists that treat every life or death situation is where I draw the line

Oh sh*T, ANOTHER one bites the dust! Although, probably not, right....?

Well it's got my attention now at least. I thought we'd have to watch this dude go through a whole training arc and get stronger and then MAYBE at the end of this season he would launch his attack. But no, he got stronger in his MIND, off-screen in ten years of captivity where he apparently was still fully conscious. Now he has summoned an endgame-level giant, among other weaponry, that shows that magic is still a force to be reckoned with. So thank goodness it skipped over any nonsense that would've been a drag, and got right down to business. Adonis is ready to put up a fight at any time. I mean, he left a bullet the size of an asteroid sticking out the side of a building. He does have competition though, because that sniper at the end be packing some major steroids.

Thought I would've just check out this show and then drop it, but no it has actually left me quite intrigued as to how its story will progress from here. So far, it has been moving quite swiftly, and it would be great if it kept up this pace. Not TOO fast of course, but quick enough that something important is almost always happening on screen.

man this shi edgier than a mf. Bro got revived and immediately went for the gen0cide route. Personally I'd only have the emperor and any immediate opposers on my hit list, but after I took him out I'd make a break for it. But I get it, he wants to raze the kingdom and it's inhabitants to the ground and scorch the land they once thrived upon.

It's been a while since we got a chaotic neutral mc. Idk what to expect, seeing as pinkie just got blown to bits..

well if she was telling the truth about the ability to resurrect then she'll likely return as she's listed as an mc

Reply to IhnalakoKaina
bruh, everything I hate: moral relativism, "progress" for the greater good, humanization of evil, vilification of justice, lack of logic and self awareness, pacifism, femboy maricones (cause I can't say the word in english), brutalization of women, everything.

All of it delivered in the most mediocre, slideshowy way possible. But even if I will end up giving it a 1, I have to watch till the end. This is the first time I'll hate watch something smh.
@IhnalakoKaina I didn't think that in 2023 I'd see this amount of still frames. And when the characters actually are moving they usually skip some fundamental movements (like in the latest scenes, Doroka stands up and the frame after she's already next to Adonis)

I still love the execution of this! From Adonis' feelings, to the scenes of innocent(?) civilians dying - The march of destruction was great!

I do wonder how Adonis got the quill. But I guess Doroka got it for him with magic?

And that ending: Are you kidding me? Just as you gave Adonis some hope, you kill it off?

Next episode will probably resume the fight. I wonder if Adonis has the power to defeat all the tech the empire will throw at him.

@Enlightened_Anon Second question first. No. Through 2 episodes, the MC has exhibited 0 strategy. He's primarily just smashing everything with a giant golem he summoned.

That said, is it worth it? That depends. If you're looking for something extra edgy, sure, but so far, the show isn't offering anything beyond that.

@Enlightened_Anon

(A) The military are the antagonists. They were able to execute their plan in episode 1, but it wasn't terribly impressive. Hilariously enough, the device from episode 1, around which their whole plan revolved, is out of commission in episode 2, and it's pretty silly when you think about it.

(B) Technically not an isekai, but yeah. MC does nothing in episode 1, but is now overpowered in episode 2 after 10 years of imprisonment because....meditation? I don't know. He just is.

(C) Unfortunately, I was anime only, so I can only comment on the first two episodes. I watched episode 1, thought it was dumb, but was intrigued enough to see what happens next. Episode 2 was just pure disappointment. I couldn't muster up enough hatred for the faceless masses to be invested in the MC indiscriminately killing everyone. There was one character from episode 1 that I wasn't to see get punished, and they screwed it up with a 10 year time skip. They introduce a plotline towards the end of episode 2, but I don't care to see if it comes to pass, and honestly, I don't think it's a good idea to just throw away your hook like that. It doesn't even move much. Half the episode was still images. If you're not interested in seeing an overpowered MC get revenge, I don't know what else there is here.

Was in complete shock in the end, but the entire start of the episode was AMAZING..

It was a refreshing change of pace.. Hats off to the animators and the writers.. Hoping to see this continue for the rest of the series.

I mean that's against the rules of this medium lol. YOU DO NOT INTERRUPT WHEN SOMEONE'S GIVING A HAND TO PULL SOMEONE OUT FROM MISERY.

Though god, we need to search dictionaries to find a suitable term for this guy's whole character.. something as simple and basic as edgy would not work here.

Well that's one way of escaping prison... Blinded by rage he just started going round making a mess of the empire though.

You know things are bad when even the king knows he messed up killing all the witches.

Interesting to know that some witches are still around though, we'll just have to see where this goes. Too bad Adonis had to have any hope taken away from him by the sniper though.

Start of this episode brought me 20 years back to first episode of Elfen Lied. That's a +1 to score.

I hope this show keeps level of those 2 episodes and has a bit better production in next ones, because all those still shots in action scenes are worrying.

20 years younger me would be excited watching this. Now gore, edgyness and boobs alone won't suffice, I need a good story with that and animation/directing telling it in a convincing way. Let's see if this delivers.

Holy moly, Adonis is really strong! A decade spent inside that weird device, looking like a torture tool known as iron maiden, surely made him stronger. He could analyze his apparently already high skills, and craft various scenarios of making his vengeance happen and succeed. On top of that, there is a chance for Chloe to be revived by the witch remnants.

Okay, I understand that the Emperor was a villain for the witch hunts/genocide, and brutally killing Chloe for political gain. I get that the people are seen as unsympathetic and maybe complicit for supporting the emperor (although the big mistake is lumping in all of humanity with the much smaller number, in comparison, of empire supporters. It's like thinking the internet is one person, and whoever you're arguing with is the entire internet). I get cyborg guy is a horrible person for killing everybody indiscriminately at the internment camp. However what the MC does with his rampage is worse than all of them combined, he's the biggest villain of all of them. He's causing mass casualties on the scale of a giant monster attack on a city, yet even worse than a giant monster is he fully comprehends what he's doing, and is willingly doing it to people that he's fully aware might not have been present 10 years ago, let alone those who didn't exist back then like children. There's no redeeming nor feeling sympathetic for this guy.

I can't believe he's already worse than the MC of Redo of Healer, or the goblins in Goblin Slayer. The MC of Redo wasn't causing colleterial causalities on this scale, and wasn't targeting those uninvolved or played only a very minor part. The goblins of Goblin Slayer don't attack their allies, the other goblins...whereas this MC is attacking humans and witches, and is seemingly insane. And even if he is better than the goblins, it doesn't look by much.

Where can they go with this? I don't know. Seems like Pink Haired Witch is going to save him, but can't undo all he's done so far unless time travel or something. Are they going to conveniently forget/ignore what he's done already? That would be a pretty big cop out. The only thing I can think of is keep going forward with him being the "giant monster"/villain attacking the city.
