How lame, censorship already..

Manga: Kelvin kills Cashel by using magic to cut him in half

Anime: Screen fades to black, Cashel is beaten up and sent to jail.

I know CGI is not very good but you have to consider the budget for the anime. Although I say that, it is way better than Arifureta. The story is good and seriously Kelvin is a likeable MC.

I personally didn’t mind this cgi as much as others, tho 2D is still better. I cut some slack to some studios for budget issues I guess. Well, as a reader of the manga adaptation i won’t say it’s amazing but it’s definitely alright, unlike another adaptation of a manga I read (Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer).
Instead of cgi they are better off doing 2d and only showings parts of the fight, just my opinion.

No, I completely agree with you. Cgi is cheaper tho I believe, so I think they’re cutting costs. It’s a reality we have to live with I guess

I REALLY like the Premier of this series, and I thought that I'll watch the rest of it but fvck that horrendous CGI fight scene came out of nowhere. If they will done the fight scenes like this on the rest of the episode, I will drop this. Such a wasted opportunity for a potentially much better isekai anime....

I imagine they skipped a lot of content to make him rank up already. Tfw episode 2 already undermines the world's guild rules of only being able to take on quests one rank higher than you are. Hello and goodbye Cashel, first of the small fry villains. They seriously acted like he was formidablr with only one of his abilities being above d rank. I liked Gerard, although didnt like the cgi. Gerard looked cool in it but think its hard to ruin an edgy knight character with glowing red eyes even with cgi. Really hope the studio/artist doesn't have him pushing harem jokes the entire anime. At least clotho still a slime, although wasnt impressed with him becoming a slime gluttony. The fact they made him revert back to his og form outside of fights make it seem like it wasn't really worth it to have him evolve since he seems to be ghe anime mascot character.

Kelvin is growing fine and all, promoted to Rank E from a Rank F adventurer status with his summoning power that's a fast track to more powerful monsters and getting noticed by adventurers alike.

And Cashel definitely has that bad boy feel whom has a notoriety for his antics, which Kelvin is able to discern through his appraisal skills. What better way to recruit than to have a duel, and this is a good chance for Kelvin to test his skills against someone who is a sinister murderer...which he did with Clotho being a Devourer Slime Gluttonia.

Time for the Blackghost Knight Gerard, in his full 3DCG stance...which is Ok at best. But the fight between the two in full 3DCG, this ain't some fighting video game, which really question the minds of who's trying to infuse Rooster Teeth RWBY-like jarring animation. Oh well, that's one quest down also, and helping to rid Cashel and his gang reaps prosperity for all.

Umm...this already looks like dogshit...and we're not even at the 3-episode mark yet.

Well good to know the pg13 tag is on - instead of bisecting the newbie hunter he "caught him with a rope" instead. Oh and they still get the death penalty, just not onscreen.

Art was surprisingly good.... untl the cgi showed up. There was an attempt made for it to look okay but... it stayed as an attempt.

Turned into a video game cutscene during the fight against Gerard. I would've been totally fine but, I wish they could've done so much more with the action since they went full CGI anyways. But the battle sadly still concluded in a very basic way.

1st episode made it seem like it's gonna be a tiny bit different kind of Isekai. This episode felt otherwise.

Another good episode imo, it was especially pleasant to see him destroying these three thugs now that his slime evolved into that legendary form and we got a full CGI fight against that Gérard knight, of course I was sure people would be complaining about the CGI but I personally liked it, it looked like a game cutscenes fight and that's not something we usually see with this kind of CGI, anyway now that's another member in his team, great!

The protagonist's personality is kind of annoying and I really don't like how they just completely glossed over the leveling/strengthening process.

All in all a pretty generic showing with nothing in particular to recommend it.

Good character growth. Pretty good sound design event thought it could be better. The 3D animation in fight scenes is sometimes a bit lacking but after all that, I think it is still pretty good.

They turned a manga that at worst would be Rated R, that I loved, and toned it down to a PG-13 safe for TV anime. Not worth my time.

Ah, maybe that's what the intent was and if it is, that fits with it being an isekai of a world that's a lot like a video game. Still, while I'm not against CGI in anime? It's just not really my thing. Mostly cause I find it a bit jarring to blend different styles of animation together.

the quality really surprised me, they're doing a great work with this CGI
since Kuro no Shoukanshi is all about big and epic fights, this kinda hyped me up for the upcoming battles.

can't wait for Kelvin to earn his well deserved title as the Battle Maniac

No dude. The fights would be so much better if they were just normally animated. Looking at how Kelvin was normally animated and the the black knight sitting in front of him was cgi was so disorting.


I completely agree CGI fights are crap

Wow, you know, I'm not one to bash 3d anime or CG in anime for special effects etc. But that fight scene. That's literally the main thing that stands out to me. Switching from 2d to a cell shaded 3d felt really jarring. It's not the 3d I have a problem with it's the switching between 2d and 3d so blatantly it's distracting

Gerard is the first interesting thing in this isekai.

Also I really don't like the style of the MC, that magic earpiece is so weird and I hate this kind of necklace but then that's personal taste.
Let's not talk about the cgi for the battle, I mean the monsters / armors ok I get it... but I wasn't expecting the MC himself to be cgi LOL

Yikes, such awful video game CGI ?! Whyyyyyyyyyy ?
From what i remember from the manga this should easily be a 7.5/10. With cheap CGI like this, i can't rate it any higher than 6/10 even if it turned out to be a 10/10 masterpiece otherwise.
Why do this ? It looks so out of place and BAD. Truly deplorable.

Will still continue watching tho, been years since i read this.

Kelvin off screening his battle with Cashel and company was funny.

Clotho's evolution is definitely interesting. I'm half surprised they didn't turn into another anime girl. What a ferocious slime form fitting its legendary rank!

I thought the CGI animation was also decent, it might have been a different style then the 2D animation but it was still done well. Gerard is definitely a great addition to the party of folks chatting in Kelvins mind.

there is so much cgi in that series i was surprised :D

i want to see what comes next but i hope they tune down the cg (i mean see less cg in next season if they continue it), cause how much cg they used turned me off lol
