I love that guy. At this rate he really might need way more holy water.

Other goddess' reaction was interesting tho. And just after she said something about failing to save a world. We also learned stuff about reincarnation. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I wonder if there is something more to it?


It was offhandedly mentioned in the manga and i think in the first 2 episodes, but there is 1 hero per world, period, so if seiya dies, that world is doomed, and the people of that world lose any hope of being saved.

If you look at it from that perspective, seiya's cautiousness is justified, because if he failed, everyone on that planet is doomed, if anything the fool is rista for not realizing just how much him failing could be disastrous, which arianoa is aware of.

Love this show, comedic as it might be, it's also got some intelligent ideas to it.


Yes, his heart is in good place but his cautiousness can be considered as disorder (bullying Cerseus, destruction of church and village, etc) so I don't tkink it can be justified.
It is like asking to help with cleaning germophobe. yes, your house would be 100% clean but it would be overkill and you would be annoyed by this in some point.

Seiya should have poured holy water on himself as well just to quadruple check that he isn't undead.

Lets be honest here, kaguya popularized it. This has been a trend every season lately.


No Kaguya was just the first to make a "good" one. All the rest are awful.

LOL, is it a trend now?
After perfect animation of Chika's dance in one of the EDs of Kagya there was a horrendous CGI copycat in Kenja no Mago and now this.


Ahahaha just thinking like that.
So. This is the answer why they delay episode 3. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Be positive guys! Since this is a comedy anime, I think they just make a trend meme for chika dance πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Épisode sympa, j'ai soufflé du nez plusieurs fois (oui on ne peut pas vraiment dire que j'ai rigolé, mais disons que j'ai passé un bon moment).
L'histoire avance, dans un cadre très classique mais avec l'incursion de situations loufoques... A ce niveau là, c'est très semblable à Konosuba.
Seiya est cool d'ailleurs, je commence à l'apprécier... Mais on semble avoir essentiellement le point de vue de Ristarte pour l'instant malheureusement

This Seiya guy can be a parody to common isekai MC guy who always down to battlefield with just a believe. He is always want to more steps forward than his enemy. Too cautious ? Maybe, but don't forget, prepare for the worst is important.

And now, I want more Aria please. Please Lista, visit her more so I can get more scene time to see her.

Feels bad to the god of sword who hate sword because of traumatized by Seiya.

I love unapologetic dick MCs in comedy anime. However, once I compared Seiya to Kazuma from Konosuba, I realized how one dimensional Seiya is. Even Kazuma just felt more...human, and layered, than Seiya, in personality.

I agree, but I feel as though this series is not that good compared to Konosuba. In Konosuba, there was more concrete world building, the characters had more chemistry, and even personality, to them. If I were to sum up Cautious Hero, it would be, "The poor man's Konosuba".

I don't really like the way Seiya is turning out for the sake of comedy. He's just mean and rude and not so much likable so far. I wish we had some backstory on him.
The plot itself doesn't seem to be very engaging as well.

agree, some backstory for seiya would be nice, or even some hints of how and why he become so cautious in the first place. so far all we know about him is just he's a very cautious guy, that's all. 3 episode in and i started to think that he's a really 'meh' MC. The only reason why i enjoyed this show so far is thanks to ristarte and her VA, she carried this show.

This.
In 3 episodes, I didn't even chuckle. The last thing the MC is, for me, is "funny". He just feels annoying. An unidimensional character. That's about it. The rest of the cast is okay tho.
Anyway, I'm not judging anyone who like this show but for me it just doesn't sit well. Dropping

Seiya has surpassed gods.

I honestly felt sorry for the Cerseus. To think that the disrespectful hero would evoke the god's fragment of humanity. At least he did not get showered with holy water, though.

Ristarte was amusing, as usual.

Best episode yet. I like that we're getting a mix of the world the hero is saving and the world of the Gods. Allows an interesting mix of scenery and characters.

The humor in this show really lands for me the first time, but it pounds away at single jokes a little too much. The heros overtraining isn't so funny anymore. Introducing the God for him to train with and beat up was funny when I realized what was going on, but by the time the God was on the floor just getting punched... well, it made a nice metaphor for how the show had punched the joke in to submission.

Ristarte still carries the show with how she's written, animated and masterfully voiced by Toyosaki Aki.

The last time this year I was so impressed with a female comedy VA was Koga Aoi as Shinomiya Kaguya, a VA who coincidentally is in this show and debuted in this episode as Eruru. Props to the casting in this show to have two incredibly talented female VAs, plus the voice of the slayer of goblins himself, Umehara Yuuichirou, who doesn't get to flex any kind of range here, but is most certainly perfectly cast.

Am I the only one who feels the terrible CGI dance is totally an intentional part of the humor? People do realize it’s the doll phone device thing dancing, not Ristarte herself right? I’m sure the creators are perfectly aware of how ridiculous it looks, and that might be the point.

I hope that's the case, but after the Ghost in the Shell trailer I don't know what to think. Unless that entire project is meant to be some ironic parody of bad CG and the anime industry is pulling some meta shit on us lol.

You are talking about Kaguya's ED, Chikatto Chika Chika?, because that is not CGI. It's traditional animation.

I don't understand how the bullying of the God is supposed to be funny. The "holy water" part was to be expected (did not expect the priest to be undead). And we end the episode with Seiya destroying everything (same as the last two episodes).

And it seems they are running out of "new gag".
