Anelle 794 Posted May 7, 2019 Been meaning to watch this a while, finally got around to it and binged until current and now I've even got Lee watching it. Anyone else watching this? 1 ISO Share this post Link to post
dr. b 492 Posted May 7, 2019 Yup In some ways it's pretty trashy but I keep watching and enjoying anyhow. ISO Share this post Link to post
Anelle 794 Posted May 7, 2019 Yeah, that's pretty much how I feel! It's the enjoyable kind of trashy. I like all the weird politics going on and how fucking no one bothers to explain them until it's suddenly relevant and Naofumi is just like "yeah no one told me that" and then everyone just keeps going with that level of knowledge until another twist is needed. It's dumb but I've been entertained by it, so by all means keep suddenly spouting stuff that'd have been SUPER HELPFUL to know ISO Share this post Link to post
dr. b 492 Posted May 7, 2019 I found it amusing how the other three heroes seemed to assimilate into the world so easily meanwhile everything has to be a pain in the ass for Naofumi. And then the poor guy ends up being the only useful hero and saving everybody all the time, often not getting the credit. I like the grudgingly-a-hero kind of hero that Naofumi is.

Anelle 794 Posted May 7, 2019 I think that's the real draw to the show for me. It's definitely why I had Lee watch it. Naofumi learns a hard lesson and hardens the fuck up over it. ISO Share this post Link to post
dr. b 492 Posted May 7, 2019 Round out the party with Raphtalia and Filo and you got a super likeable cast of characters ISO Share this post Link to post
Tassifox 418 Posted May 8, 2019 Totally been watching this. I like how it was the total polar opposite of Slime Datta Ken anime when they both aired. One adapted to the new world totally while the other got the shit stick of the draw. Yea most of it is predictable but it reminded me of a manga I own that has a similar-ish storyline in terms of struggling and survival in the new environment. Reveal hidden contents - I honestly can't wait to hear the source of why the Shield Hero gets the treatment they do. I was surprised/slightly disappointed but also kinda glad that Fitalia didn't have full memory of her younger days of the Heros since it felt like it was going to be a background telling story but ended up differently. - I seriously want Princess Cunt Face and Spear Hero to get their end even if the Spear Hero is a fucking derpy lolita kink labrador. - I'm curious how beastmen races age since after seeing Raphtalia's friend and seeing the HUGE difference between them.

Tassifox 418 Posted May 8, 2019 Ep 18 Reveal hidden contents I KNEW THAT POPE WAS NO GOOD! FUCK HIM FUCK HIM FUCK HIM!!!! In your face Spear Hero. How's it feel to be blamed for something that's stupid!? IN YOUR FUCKING FACE NAOFUMI SHOULD HAVE JUST LET YOU DIE AND THE BITCH WHO'S ASS YOU SNIFF. ISO Share this post Link to post
Anelle 794 Posted May 8, 2019 Ep 18 Reveal hidden contents Pope finally reveals himself but all I can think is "goddamn how fucking dumb is Motoyasu" which is what I think every time he shows up I mean damn, dude. You dumb. ISO Share this post Link to post
Tassifox 418 Posted May 9, 2019 Reveal hidden contents Considering that the Heros played a lot of mmrpg and various types of games. From the way Motoyasu fell for Cunt-princess's stories without so much as getting hint of vag and very much believes that all of Naofumi's female party are so "brainwashed" into following him we can easily imagine the types of games he played especially dating sim games. Other thing that bothers me is that NOW of all times the rest of Motoyasu's party members other than Cunt-princess actually do something in the middle of a battle. Like that is the one thing that's bugged me is that all the other heros were given party members and up until recently they haven't done squat. ISO Share this post Link to post

dr. b 492 Posted May 17, 2019 Best part of this week's episode was probably Filo's comments re: Spear Hero and his party ISO Share this post Link to post
Tassifox 418 Posted May 17, 2019 It's so true. Seriously we finally see them DOING something other than Princess of the Twats and they are pretty much useless. Granted you don't see most action from the Bow and Sword heros parties either but Spear hero's party is like 2nd most shown group in action when they're near Naofumi's party or confronting him and it's just them standing there majority of the time. ?

Anelle 794 Posted May 17, 2019 Ep 19 Reveal hidden contents It was SO satisfying to watch the other 3 heroes go for their big "SHALL WE UNITE AS HEROES" shot and be totally snubbed. I had to pause to cackle and replay that part 1 ISO Share this post Link to post

Anelle 794 Posted May 29, 2019 Ep 21 Reveal hidden contents ok but we still didn't really learn motivations so no one learned anything, cool edit to add: no, there are 25 eps 1 ISO Share this post Link to post
Tassifox 418 Posted May 29, 2019 Reveal hidden contents If we don't learn motivation behind the anger against shield hero by the end. Then I'll cave into Galeigh's offer. If there's 4 more eps left then we might still learn. Or they'll be assholes and save it for a possible season 2. I kinda agree with the not learning anything. Other than Motoyasu possibly learning not to be so dumb for a pretty face (which I doubt) I feel like after they just go jump into the ceremony after Naofumi declined (AND STILL HAVEN'T APOLOGIZED TO HIM PROPER THE ASSHATS) They more or less are still treating this experience as a mmorpg game.

dr. b 492 Posted May 30, 2019 If they don't do another season and this turns out to be one of those anime where you never see the end of the story, then this episode was almost the perfect place to end it. ISO Share this post Link to post

Tassifox 418 Posted June 14, 2019 For sure no. I'm honestly wondering if there's more than 4 Heros when I saw L'Arc in the opening. But the title of the next ep makes me wonder that now ISO Share this post Link to post
