Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku Episode 1 Discussion

But did Satoo really have a gun in light novel or manga? I don't really remember it (for whatever reason).

If he did have it in light novel, alright, my mistake i guess. But if he didn't then holy shit why did they even bring a frikkin gun into it.

I read the LN and enjoyed it (although i do feel that other similar LNs are better).

The anime however seems to be VERY low budget, even on the very first episode (which means it is only likely to get worse, not better). If I didn't already know and like the story, i would have probably dropped this after the first episode. Not only was the art and animation often times of sub-par quality, but the first episode does not grab me at all.

Really lackluster, luckily i didn't expect anything from it, especially since i forgot it was gonna come out and dropped the light novel after reading quite a bit of it (due to disappointment and annoyance).

Well so far the MC's real-life is more interesting than the other world. Anyone else think the backgrounds were super dull? I get that they wanted a place where Meteor Storm could take place, but still.

i'm very confused by the episode, so,, he was able to get so over leveled because he used all the missile strike perks, killing a lot of enemies. But then he's now able to use them freely as a skill ? i thought it was a one time perk, how does he have it as a skill now???

Don't get your hopes up for the GUI/chatlog getting translated by fansubbers (and simply not possible for non-styled subs like CR..)

There is a massive amount of small + fast moving text which would be more than enough to cause a lot of systems to choke, so the only resource reasonable option would be hardsubbing, which has been frowned upon by most of us since softsubs became a thing.

In addition to that, we're looking at a huge amount of screen space that would have to be given up in order for the subs to be readable, unless you actually edit the video to whiteout the actual log text.

.. This IS one of the reasons I like the old-school TL-notes at the end of episodes sometimes. Would be far easier to slap up a still at the end w/ the translation/explanation for the chat-log/GUI stuff.

I already asked horriblesubs team if they will translate labels and they will from the next episode.

It is not problem to have softsub comparable quality to hardsub. For example Aegisub subtitle format (*.ass) is capable of doing that.

Why is everyone giving us half-assed spoilers? If you are going to give us spoilers, we want proper spoilers, please. If he is not dead, what the fuck happened? I'm reluctant to waste my time if this is not half as good as Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari, and that Isekai is just half good.

Seems like another generic Isekai show....

Swagernator said:
Lets look into this shall we ?

30 years old programer has shitty job and shitty life, so hes (probably) transported into fantasy world, here he gets ridiculously OP, and at the same time hes 16 years old (cuz self inserts you know), after that he get to rescuse some hot chick, and more chicks coming into his harem soon, all wrapped in "RPG" style cuz you know fans dig that.

+ Ugly CGI, lowest production value quality possible and its an Light Novel adaptation...



Could this be an Isekai Anime ?

Code_Lies said:


Exactly....

Also the character's design & OPness is too similar to kirito. Meh =__=

Jarjaxle said:
Ah, so Death March has Begun! XD

OP is quite Interestign...pretty good too...tough Spoilers in harem tough..XD..tough not a lot in otherwise tough nice. and...Even if he has harem...he won't touch any of them and Rather goes to Red Light District!!! XD

I wish this goes to the at least

There is that super Skill and Crazy Level up...after this Saitou is 1 of the Strongest beings in this World....it has not been confirmed so I won't just call him the Strongest....there sure as hell goign to be serious threats even towards his levels...

Ok start over all....this has potential Manga and novel is fun to read...

Why do I have this feeling that just like Isekai they'll also play safe with the main character?

He pretty much killed some of the strongest beings in that world which was not really expressed very well in this episode since in the novel there were like over 30,000 gragons, wyverns, lizardmen and other shit that were at war with each other when Satou decided to test the "Meteor Strike" on them thus wiping them out and gaining crazy amount of XP.

As for him being able to freely use the skill now, idk if you've ever read or heard about any of the better or more interesting Isekai/summoned protagonist series like Arifureta, Slime Tensei, Tate no Yuusha, RE:Monster, etc. but in those series the summoned "heroes" or reborn protagonists usually have a cheat of some sort that makes them super OP. While I wouldn't really consider it a cheat since it's part of the game design that got merged with the world he got transported to, Satou has the ability to learn any skill just by doing pretty much anything that could relate to a corresponding skill. For example he can learn a cooking skill just by roasting something. And it's not just limited to the cooking skill itself. It could also lead to learning skills related to different branches of cooking associated with the action itself like a "roasting" skill or maybe a "barbecue" skill. The list goes on and basically anything goes.

Another example could be that he can grab any random spear and just make a single thrust randomly and he could learn a skill like "Spear Stab" or "Thrust" and then just max out the points of the skills that he considers useful up to lvl 10 which is the max, thus increasing the skill's power and effectiveness just like in a game.

Anyways back to what I was saying, since Satou basically performed a "Meteor Strike", he ended up learning it even though it was just through a limited use scroll/program since it still counts. The version of the "meteor strike" that he learns is considerably even more powerful since his stats like magic or whatever are actually calculated into the spell when he casts it thus making it a lot more powerful. I don't remember if he actually levels up the skill but that also plays into it if he did. That's why the second time he cast it, the explosion was a lot stronger and affected a much larger range than when he accidentally cast it. I think it went from like 2 KM to 20 KM range. So now he has an even stronger version of the skill that he can use infinitely as much as his MP would allow it which I think allows him to cast it several times before needing to refill MP.


And while I somewhat enjoyed the episode, I dislike the fact that a lot of important info got left out (partly due to the subs) and I have a feeling that it would be another rushed adaptation, though hopefully not that rushed since there's a ton of content per volume that could be adapted to several seasons for the show. The animation that they used is a little weird too but I don't really care much about visual.

I guess I'll see how the future episodes of the show will be handled before making further judgement. I just hope it doesn't get butchered badly like most other adaptations since I do enjoy the WN a lot.
