Looks pretty interesting. Action right from the start and I really like the art. It definitely looks different from what you could watch normally.

A lot of characters got introduced but it's weird how all of them landed at this place. They know some words like handy, games etc but don't know what they mean. I'm sure they will explain what exactly happened to them.

Things like building a party, join a guild, train to become a warrior, rogue, magician, priest etc is something everyone knows from MMO's. That's definitely also a reason I liked this anime from the start :)

Damn Haruhiros sensei Barbara is hot :o
I couldn't imagine how to concentrate during the lessons haha. Besides that there were some other nice fanservice moments.

Ranta is a pretty weird guy but overall I like the character design. I'm sure we will see Renji in the future. It seems he's pretty strong.

A little bit funny that Haruhiro and his friends can't even defeat goblins which seemed like to be the weakest monster. Looking forward to see what will happen next.

PS: The OST's are really beautiful.

I hope that sexist and lesbian fetishist Ranta dies in the next episode. He's so annoying.

Pretty good first episode actually, I enjoyed watching it. Apparently it's "just" another isekai story, but this time they lost their memories. But the charcters seem fun so far.

I liked this much more than I thought I would. Usually I'm not too crazy about the whole "stuck in a video game/fantasy world" genre, but this feels different. Sort of gave me .Hack//Sign vibes, but with a bit more action in it.

I love the soundtrack already, too.

Ahh, I think MC will be strong, but defeating a single goblin can't be even though they are six.

The art is fantastic, I love the watercolor backgrounds, and the music fits really well making the experience feel warm and relaxing. They did a good job with the story in the first half and then they went with awful fan service with the master and then the boob talk. Those two parts were just awful. It's a shame.

Looks and sounds nice. Usually not a big fan if the focus is on the mmorpg set up, but I guess I might like it here.

this episode was really well executed. nice animation, good music and impressive character interactions all around—the characters actually talk and act like people, except for ranta.. who was also the one to completely fuck up the pace with a somewhat annoying fanservice scene. besides that, the episode was pretty good.

4/5

Yeah of course when you first start out a game you're going to be a low level and weak. But these guys are, REALLY weak, and I'm loving it.

It seems it would be very similar to other isekais but I do not know why but I am feeling more seriousness than other isekais.

I wonder why you feel like its gonna be like other issekais, because this title subverts and violates all common tropes which are associated with issekai genre. If there's something really different from mainstream its gonna be this thing.

Looks interesting, but it seems like everyone of this guild just landed in this world and lost all memory of their former existence? Why aren't they questioning how they arrived here?
All the same, looks interesting. Lovely character designs. Hope this lives up to expectations.

This show is beautiful.

Very pleased with the slower pacing and the frankly more realistic (in terms of old school RPGs) level of the protagonists.

Ugh, Another Beta Male pussy MC, and everyone is talking about her boobs and you just STARE at them idiot. And EVERYONE is STARVING, and you see Goblins but day after day a GROUP of Adventurers just sit there and do nothing. I don't care how hard they might be, they were told from the beginning, if you fight you might die, but if you don't fight you WILL die, no time to sit around and do nothing. By the time you run out of money are are literally starving you'll be too weak to fight for real

This seems like an interesting show. Looks promising as the characters seem to be at least... "believable". Anyway nothing happened but I was interested regardless and that is definitely a plus.

Hmm so it's a Isekai. They seemed to forget everything extremely fast with some hints of remembering things. But it makes me think they all died because of the comments about "always" being sleepy and then the one also eats extremely fast like they starved to death or something.

But the townspeople seemed to have a whole intro process for them which is strange. It is interesting. I like the background art so far. But it's like surprisingly heavy on fan service too lol

Amnesia checked, boob jokes checked, isekai checked but still a fairly decent start.

I liked how they've kept the mystery about the past of these people by playing that no memories card, but I think they'll eventually recall. Apart from that, our crew or our characters are WEAK.. yes this word which starts with a letter 'W', so that's already a "unique" take for me.

Art is good, and this does have those rpg elements but we'll see. Just hope there's no drastic dip going forward lol.

Wow that was exciting. Action took off right from the start with an appealing OST. Furthermore, the artwork is refreshing or at least feels different. There's some bits of fan service but it's not really distracting.

A few weird body movements aside, I think the quality was pretty good.

They introduced more characters than I had expected but it's a nice setup so far for the remainder course of the season. The premise of the fantasy world and guilds is also interesting enough. Barbara's outfit though lol.


The theme song is nice.

Maybe this was the best from the episode. Enough for giving it a 3/5 instead a 2/5.

When you go to another world, it may be a starting situation for everyone, or it may be in turns, in waves. That is to say that there were already people in the world, and it seems that people have come from the same world of origin as the protagonists (because I hope there is not only one or only one). On the other hand, although there is some guidance for newcomers, what exists seems somewhat insufficient to me.

The meaningless scene of the girls and the boys, what if the sexual excitement and so on... I'm really very tired of these scenes. What need is there... Enough to stop watching anime. I'm going to give it a try, and hope that since it's the first episode, maybe they wanted to show "something more attractive." But can it really be considered attractive to sexualize the body of a woman or a man, repetitively and for a single purpose?


And yet, we still haven't seen a debate about why they are so bad or how they can improve...

Setting itself is very typical fantasy isekai stuff, but the character interactions are pretty funny, and they bounce off each other well. Haruhiro, and likely a good number of the rest of them, are familiar with video game jargon, but their definitions were lost along with everyone's memories.

While everyone being incomprehensibly weak and incompetent is unique, I have a hard time buying it for a video game isekai. I can't recall an RPG or MMO in existence where a single goblin (or any other basic trash mob) would ever be a life-or-death fight for a starting player, let alone a full party. The "natives" of the world also seem mysteriously unphased by this huge group of confused people that have no notion about the type of world they've been transported to, so maybe someone's purposely withholding knowledge of their predicament.

The most boring anime ever tried to watch the first episode but I fell asleep 2 times and the third one I was dozing off. Nothing happened in the first episode to even keep me engaged for an episode. Fastest I have dropped something. Really disappointed the premise and idea was interesting.
