Seeing you post here reminds me that in less than a week the third and final season will start.

I didn't watch S2 while it was airing, but ended up binging it a few weeks ago. It was pretty great with some unexpected plot twists. I've been having some on/off psychological and self-esteem problems for the last year. And seeing Boxxo just light up peoples' days by putting out something as simple as food and water got me teary-eyed (in a good way) every time he did. Him being so useful and everyone being so grateful and appreciative is something I feel is missing in my life. But I've had something of an inferiority complex since I was about 12. So, not sure that I'll ever feel like I'm useful, no matter what people say. I'll keep trying, though.

Lots of anime are great for that purpose. Most isekai are very much about getting recognition for good deeds or proving to people who were negative about the mc(s) in the past how wrong they were.
I think quite a few people are appreciative for you keeping this forum neat and orderly btw (me included). |

S3 E1:
A good episode to start the third/last season with. Some relaxation with fishing and another sales competition. The birthday was a great moment to show that Boxxi is very much appreciated by a lot of people. The story is still progressing though with Kikoyu leaving and the gang still needing to visit several dungeon floors and deal with the demons plus traitors. |

S3 E2/3:
I really is the final season with how quickly things are ramping up. Boxxo and Pitty are on the bottom floor of the dungeon and all the baddies are there. Well, minus one surprisingly weak shark general that is. The kid being cured already is a surprise... as is Sulream and her true nature. |

Ep 4
So is Shirley running a hostess club or a brothel?  It was hard to tell with all the euphemisms and innuendo, which made it seem more like the latter. Either way, Boxxo shilling for the place was kinda ick, no matter how big her heart of gold is.
I don't know why he thought dropping cinder blocks on stone would work. A pressure washer might drill some holes if powerful enough, but Newtonian physics rules out an aerial attack. Maybe the inside-out strategy would do it, with Lammis' strength and Boxxo providing shielding and kilos of bicarb. |

S3 E5:
Boxxo started selling condoms in the first season I think. Given that something like that will take place no matter what you might as well make it as safe as possible for everyone involved. Otherwise you have diseases spreading all too soon. Episode 5 was a good showcase of how strong the Boxxo side now is. The previous monster invasion left the town in ruins yet this time they dealt with an even bigger one plus the stratum lord without any damage or injuries. The vending machine element still being so important is great, it has been so much more than a simple gimmick. With Boxxo finally ranking up again he seems have hit the final rank (plus all vending machines in existence). |

Hate to say, but while I have found the fight scenes in the past to have some suspense, this time it just seemed boring...There was a good amount of action but despite the beginning introducing a little doubt about the eventual outcome, the monster horde was so static and easily dealt with any doubt quickly disappeared. There were no stakes and this called into question what the narrative purpose was. And now our little band is off on a potential 1-2 year exploration and maybe Demon Lord confrontation. How does this not seem like a bad idea given the circumstances?

I agree but they do not really have a choice, if the Netherlord and his team are the first to clear the dungeon then everyone else in said dungeon is doomed. I strongly doubt that it will actually take the Boxxo team anywhere near that long though.

That final dungeon floor is hell. No monsters, no traps, not anything and you have to traverse for years in that nothingness unless you have a car to make use of. That is not even mentioning the need for food and water. Plus that only one of three paths is the correct one and you are likely to go insane long before reaching the end. Or, even worse, reaching the proper end and not having the coins needed. |

Good episode. The only thing that really bugged me was that they seemed to not be driving on high beams. They should've been able to see much farther ahead, and under the circumstances I'd think that would be a primary consideration. I kept waiting for them to drive into a crevasse they couldn't see in time.
Ave. high beams should illuminate 350 - 400 ft (~100 - 122 m) or over a football field or soccer pitch ahead, and from the side it looked like they might be lighting only 8-10 car lengths, if even that. Ten of their mini-car lengths that is, which is well short of the ave of 15 ft (4.5m). |

^Sounds like they need an adjustment...
So 28 days at 80 kmph at 90% time is 48380 km and at an average walk of 4.8kmph (actual comfortable range is 4-6kmph) would take 1.14 years. I guess from what was said of the one adventurer he would have been close if he had chosen the correct path, but would have sucked because he had to turn back after all. Other fun facts, if the gas mileage is similar to a Smart Car (for one) at 68mpg, Boxxo would have had to supply about 1675 liters or 442 gallons and at 6$/gal $2650 worth of coin...which would be one 1/2oz Gold Kruggerand. Why...? Because...

Ep 7
Well, that didn't turn out at all as I expected at the end of last week! Only the coin trick. So did they rescue the folks at the inn who gave them info on the lower level? Didn't seem like there was a way to stop off for them. Had they already evacuated all the other levels except Clearflow? |
