Finally took the time and caught up with the airing episode. I really like the adaptation so far, it hits just the right spots in enhancing the ln material. Been missing this sorely.
Tomoki just bought himself a handful of front row tickets for a “Find Out” Event, date is to be determined but it is bound to be epic, you can trust Tomoe to make sure of that.
Mio not being able to cook is still legendary and Beren throwing Hibiki under the bus to escape taste testing duties is just the cherry on top. On the upside she is at least quick on the uptake when it comes to her standing in the world’s pecking order, unlike a certain asshole hero who’s hell-bent on hypnotizing everyone. Hibiki being somewhat smart is the only reason why I still think she could somehow work things out with Makoto (though unlikely, the bug would be sure to intervene)
Yeah, I have been pretty happy with the adaptation as well. This series has so many plotlines and characters that it would be easy to end up as a jumbled mess. Them slightly rearranging things here and there so that an episode can just focus on 1-2 of those at a time has been smart.
Very little of Makoto this episode, just doing some employee training with Aqua and Eris. Instead we were mainly following Tomoe and Mio as they each had a meeting with the other heroes summoned to this world. In Mio’s case, she is very slowly learning how to
cookfigure out what tasting good means. As for Tomoe, her run-in with Tomoki was not as amicable as evidenced by the image I chose for this post. Yes, it is the easy-to-hate Tomoki that becomes even easier to hate as he is a huge asshole to Tomoe and Lime. Honestly, if it weren’t for Lily pulling his strings, I am not sure how much longer Tomoki would be in this world. Then, finally we got an unpleasant appearance of more cream nabe at the end of the episode. Shiki should definitely not be the one to teach Mio what tastes good or not.The Aqua and Eris pairing is one of my favorite from the source material. In this adaptation, I am not really feeling it as much. I would have to go back and reread things to see if it was because of cut content, but the humor and chemistry that they bring to things isn’t translating as well for me in the anime. Especially in the manga version, they just steal any scene they are in.
I think something else that wasn’t as clear from this episode is that Mio singled out Hibiki to help with cooking because she was using words from Japanese cuisine (wakame, dashi, miso) that do not exist in the hyuman cuisine native to this world. So, when Hibiki said wakame when looking at the seaweed, Mio knew that only Hibiki could help her reproduce the flavors and dishes that were in Makoto’s memories.
Looks like next episode is going to be a bit of reunion of our main characters in the demiplane.
Honestly, if it weren’t for Lily pulling his strings, I am not sure how much longer Tomoki would be in this world.
As we can see this episode, even Lily being there is not helping this asshole. There is only so much you can do to prevent a stuck up douche from getting himself killed and Tomoki is drunk on his cheat abilities, conveniently forgetting that he was stripped of his invulnerability once already. In that group 2 people realized they should not bark up that tree after a very stern warning. The narcissist hero, however, did not and so he proceeded to make everyone’s lives just that little bit worse. What could go wrong by pissing off one of the greater dragons after all.
The bug and him were truly made for each other.
I’ve still gotta catch up with this but I have a strange feeling I’ll be dropping it. It wasn’t something that kept my attention or left me really wanting more after the first season. I reluctantly started watching the first episode of the second season but I got distracted and didn’t even finish that much. Usually if something is really good, distractions don’t matter.
For what it’s worth, the first episode of season 2 was my least favorite so far. So much so that I didn’t even bother making a discussion thread for it. Episodes 2-3 cover story that was skipped in season 1 and will become important as the story continues, so they go pretty quickly through some action, and the adaptation has been better since. You can safely skip the first episode sadly, it feels more like a recap to remind people about these characters and a waste of time than actual story progression.
I think this series gets a bit of a bad rap for being generic or copying other isekai. However, many of the series it gets accused of copying (Slime is what I see most often), were actually published later and were building on genre conventions in part established by Tsukimichi. It is a bit unfortunate that many of the other series within the genre got anime adaptations much before Tsukimichi, because now it can feel derivative of other works that chronologically were published later.
