Cause they are in a different world with a dif exp gaining system, they automatically get reset back to lvl 1. Its like when u change servers, your high level on one but short on the other.

As for why they ended up in the prison. Kyo set up a trap to put them their if they followed him they skipped it in this ep but its fine.

How does Naofumi cook if he's not able to hold any weapons, since technically you can use something like a pan as a weapon, or forks, or knives... heck I guess anything can be a weapon if you use your imagination. Then again, his shield could basically summon a nuke so yeah. I like how he picks up some grass and puts it in his shield. I'm sure whatever ability that provides will be super useful indeed. Grass shield too overpowered.

Before teleporting to this other world, Naofumi and his gang's levels were like in the 70's and 80's. That's after fighting waves of strong enemies. Now they're in this other world where they're levels have been reset, and after fighting some low level monsters, they managed to get to like level 16/17. Not that it's worth questioning much, but man the progression in this game (or whatever this is) in the early levels must be really quick.

Anyway I'm not aware of how much or how little they are butchering the light novels by omitting stuff or adding pointless stuff or whatever, but I'm just glad that we didn't stay more than a single episode in that infinite labyrinth place. I feared that we were going to spend the rest of the season trying to find a way to escape it. Thankfully, the new girl Kizuna shows Naofumi something which he realizes to be a bug, and then jack and the beanstalk's that shit. Thank goodness. Speaking of the new girl Kizuna, I like her. She's already more fun and interesting than anyone else imo.

People may be enjoying this because they read the LN's, and are excited to see it come to life, upping their enjoyment factor. Or maybe this adaption is betraying the LN's in a way, and making people disappointed. Whatever is the case, I am someone going into this blind, watching only because I watched the previous season and that this is a big title. I'm taking this all at face value; and what I see is something not terrible, but something terribly bland.... which I guess does make it terrible in a way. If I had no idea what this series was or how popular it is, to me it's just another one of your painfully generic seasonal isekai, and I would've drop it several episodes ago.

But it's one of the big popular isekai, so it's still worth watching as it has a very large following. Which, may or may not decrease by the end of this season, with how it looks to be going.

Not sure how to feel, I like the setup though it honestly feels much more interesting than the shield tortoise. I like the Idea of the party having their levels reset because now they have to work their way back up again. Honestly, imo this is the second best episode, the best one being ep 6. Hopefully the story will start picking up steam again now the the introductory to the world has been started.

Wait so they didn't mention the fact that Kyo was the one that trapped them in the prison? That's weird... I wonder why they did that, hopefully next ep they explain that.

ok so I read ahead a little past this, really like this and am excited for the future but I SWEAR that Raphtalia was not with Naofumi and Rishia during all of this.. But they didn't want to leave the fan favorite out maybe? Anyone who has read ahead, how long was it before Naofumi saw Raphtalia and Filo again? Or well at least Raphtalia since it's not a spoiler when they skipped it

The anime is cutting too much content that's why you didn't understand how they did get out.

The labyrinth has a limited capacity how many monsters it can hold and monsters can't move between spaces. So they went to small place which can hold only a small amount of monsters. Naofumi has access to his inventory in this world too. So he took out a bioplant, Kizuna gave it growth enchantment because Naofumi lost that skill because of his low level.
And the bioplant started spawning seeds and broke the container, the room they were in in the labyrinth.

Raphtalia has a biological age, and when her level is reset to 1 she looks like how old she really is. When she levels up she looks older because she's a demi-human.
Filo is a monster, she's a little different. But she won't be an egg just because she's level 1.

I’ve waited years to see kizuna animated and for the most part I’m satisfied with her. But as usual the anime straight up does what it want. Why the fuck is Raphtalia there when her separation is supposed to be a big part of the story??

I really don’t understand why the anime struggles to just adapt basic things in this story and insists on trampling on the LN. This is my second fave LN so yes I get really annoyed about these things because wtf? All you have to do is adapt what’s written. Instead, they’d rather omit, rewrite or just butcher shit.

At this point I’m only watching because I don’t drop anything.

I agree, at this point I'm watching to see how far they digress.

Out with the old waifu, in with the new it seems. This confirms Naofumi is a beta. He had to recruit a bunch of lame ass normal girls for his harem, but gigachad L'Arc got summoned with 3 extra strong women right off the bat to follow his ass around. Naofumi still manages to do the protagonist thing and instantly solve the closed space problem that's plaguing the new waifu for literal years in about 5 seconds.

Okay thanks for the explanation about the maze. Once again the cut content that are needed in order to comprehens this new wolrd ...

I'm curious about why Filo is the only that got separated but I suppose we'll see

Wish we had 26 episodes instead of 12 for this season, they're skipping a lot of important information. Otherwise this episode was okay, wish they explained a bit more about how Naofumi escaped from the labyrinth.

The Hunting Hero is a good girl and she didn't deserve to be trapped in here.

Originally the trap Kyo made was to separate Naofumi from Raphtalia and Filo, and to trap him in the Infinite Labyrinth. Because he's very useless without those two.
The anime changed this.
The studio realized that if Raphtalia lands with Naofumi in the Labyrinth they can make this season 1 episode shorter, they can cut this much content out with a small change.......

Pros:
+ Finally, i can see kizuna being animated (her voice is good too)
+ Say goodbye to turtle arc, welcome isekai's isekai arc
Cons:
- As manga reader, i find it weird when i saw lil Raphtalia with Naofumi at early stage
- Close-up Rishia, kinda annoying tbh..
- Current lil Raphtalia isn't same like the old one.. (still better lil Raphtalia in S1)
- Naofumi become less likeable? dunno..

I'm afraid that what i read in the manga wont show in the next ep..

but, oh well.. i'm not expecting much now...

Best episode of the season so far. Season 2 hopefully is a reverse of Season 1. Everyone praises season 1 but halfway through the show it declined in quality. Season 2 started off rough but since episode 5 its been good.

Starting the arc by making Shield Hero suddenly get stranded, resetted lvl, and getting saved by loli fishing hero from kappa. Then after a little talk, for make it even to her hospitality, he was nicely save her too out of those whatever prison that turns out to be so dang easy to break. So yeah, where the hell Filo at?

Also, damn look at that happy Kizuna without a doubt cuddling and dancing around so close to Naofumi-sama face, even their cheeks manage to touch with each other and those two just stand there because they think its just see some happy kid playing a fun game with her father there. How wholesome...

The additional cute loli baba girl really needed as how Rishia contribution so far rather lacking than i thought, especially since she's unfortunately back to her fueh habit xd. Then, the decision to transform Raph to her loli mode is actually a god bless choice.

So, yeah, lets take it easy with how the story progression and plotting so far being directed, that rather as always to cutting content because of ' certain reason'. But nevermind all that, because all i need here just a cute girl, cute raccoon girl, and fueh girl, and nothing more.

This was an exciting episode, and Kizuna would be a great addition to their team but i guess we'll have to see since they are enemies? But the thing is, she said that "they were probably summoned for different reasons", so maybe they don't need all to fight.

Can't wait for the next episode!

Everyone is, just a disaster of an adaptation.

agreed. I'm not even mad at it anymore., just disgusted. the story is a bad joke and so are the characters. FUCK the director, and FUCK the committee. including crunchyroll, since they are so proud of their abortion. I blame them for the changes.

Lmao that’s not what makes a good adaptation. And shit like this is frankly clearly what they had in mind when they butchered this story. “Oh people will see loli Raphtalia and be happy anyway” and based on the comments from some anime only people in here it clearly worked.

Nope, Glass, L Arc and Theresea also started at levels 1 but they have been active in naoifumis world long before they met as they arrived trough other waves, plus the reason they are extra strong is when the waves show up the levels they gained on both worlds are combined as the worlds are connected at the same time.

Hope that explains it a bit.

Now I don't understand how are they gonna adapt the LN. There are some major developments when raphtalia gets lost and only naofumi and rishia arrive in jail.
I just hope that this anime does not go down more than it is already.

Kinda soft reboot? Reset to lv 1 again and Raphtalia back to child.
Maybe this is a good thing, starting once again from the start.

It's called Infinite Labyrinth, but it solved in one episode? Bruh
Are they speed running it again LN readers?
