Maybe because I don’t read too deep into isekai I’m not annoyed that the plot is weak and the characters don’t act “realistic”
Gotta say I just watched the camp out episode and felt like it was light and brainlessly entertaining. Moreover I watched it twice..once subbed then again Dubbed. I honestly felt like the dubbed was every bit as good with one exception. Akira who is voiced by Jim Fukuyama in the sub is annoying to the point of distraction but in the dub Belsheber Rusapes voice grates so much I had to fast forward past his wailing. Other than that I felt like it was 6s. A pleasant goofy fight with a bear and a drunk teacher and nothing to get worried about. |

He got ripped because he just leveled up his stats. It happened overnight because he killed an extremely high level monster at level 1 due to plot contrivances. He just did like an isekai version of weightlifting with steroids. It wasn't like magic magic. |

My main takeaway from the scenes with the king were:
Well, at least the princess gets it honestly.... |

Yeah, sure.  No, it's just I'm aware of revenge porn sites and such, so it seems unwise. Never really understood the urge to send people pics of your junk. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That's probably the explanation for the voice, but to me it kinda felt like some evil entity was calling her. I suppose that would run counter to all the protections on his houses though.
I actually wasn't objecting to it not conforming to real physics, but rather appearing to go against well-established anime ball physics. Balls kicked into nets invariably spin like a drill for several seconds before dropping. Even baseballs hit into the back net do this (and, except in Ace of Diamond, always deform into flat pancakes when pitched well, which soccer balls sometimes do, but less often). Tennis balls tend to do this as well. But because both of those go against real physics, when you questioned my use of "verisimilitude," I couldn't decide if you were right or not. Comparing three systems of physics was too complicated with sarcasm thrown into the mix to know which conveyed my objection, so I let it drop...like a normal ball.

Just to be clear, I never thought you were under some delusion that soccer balls spin like drill bits in real life. The thing I didn't get was that you were using all of anime as your backdrop instead of this particular show. (Bravely taking a moment after accidentally admitting I was wrong)
Let me see if I'm tracking here...if we agree that almost all anime have sports moments that lack verisimilitude, a realistic anime sports moment wouldn't seem like a "real" anime. In other words, the moment lacked verisimilitude because it had verisimilitude.... ...which was a wry observation on your part.... And if that's not enough of a tricky biscuit, the question I naively raised was, would that be a verisimilitude objection or an anti-verisimilitude objection,,, ... Yeah, dropping that one seems entirely reasonable

This is how I felt trying to parse The Duchess's "Be what you would seem to be"* speech in Alice in Wonderland. I eventually gave up.
* "I quite agree with you,” said the Duchess, "and the moral of that is—'Be what you would seem to be'—or, if you’d like it put more simply—'Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.'" |

Yah, I have to read Carrol in small chunks myself.
Well, if it helps, I studied up on antiphasis, got out a yellow legal pad and kept track of the reversals and contradictions, and eventually I came up with the answer, which oddly enough, is that if the loafer in Skip and Loafer was a reference to Shima's footwear, it would definitely be Skip and Loafers.

Have to say that tangent was almost going to become a scene from Clerks.

Actually I was wondering what took so long for Kaori to find out about Yuuya's other life.
If you watch the opening, one quick scene shows Kaori sitting in an outdoor hot springs that looks like it is in the other world. Besides, why would they include the Sage telling Yuuya to share his life if he didn't take the chance and finally trust someone? Whether that trust will be reciprocated remains to be seen. Being that he was so emotionally and physically abused by everyone he thought were "normal" people, I can appreciate why he is still having trouble accepting that his change wasn't a cheat on his part. I saw that Kaori got the Language Comprehension skill. I wonder how she will do on her English exam? |

You know, this series has given us plenty of dumb fun and story to giggle and joke about so far. That said, the animation quality was a constant positive point....until now. I would like to talk about how it feels weird to have the adventurer's guild spiel so late into a series, but the monstrous drop in animation quality is a bigger thing.
The first half of the episode is good. from around the twelfth minute things jump down a cliff though. Suddenly 60% of all we see are non animated pictures of a forest while hearing conversation going on. We later get absolutely awful looking combat that is so badly animated that it is hard to tell who is doing what. We also get some faces that seems to be of the same quality as that one Berserk show. Compared to how good the show looked so far the difference is extreme, I can only think of a few similar cases of such a big difference. |

This has to be my favorite anime this go around. I am really enjoying it.
After reading some of the other responses in this thread, I cannot believe people are so focused on the physics of a soccor ball spin when the whole anime is outside the different laws of science. I was surprised when the headhunter was not brought to his world when she was discovered. I was expecting Yuuya would have to hide her on earth in order to save her life once she was discovered, not becoming a bodyguard to the princess. I also expected Kaori to have a real "wow" moment when she went through that door the first time. It seemed to be like a first time visit to a new city, not a new world. The show keeps surprising me and I wonder what will be next since in a lot of ways it is not following the same formula that most isekai anime follows. |

Episode 12 was quite dire, it's been a long time since I've seen a show literally turn into a slide show of backgrounds. And at 18:45 they actually used a rough blue sketch from THE STORY BOARD of a knight being flung through the room with lots of animation effects over the top to cover it up. That has got to be the laziest, more dire thing I've ever seen in anime. And then there's the writing in this episode. The royal family is nearly assassinated and princess wants to go into town and they let her. The royal family is nearly assassinated and her two OP guards leave the princess standing in the middle of the street while they walk into the guild. Everything in the guild was pretty predictable, the only thing that didn't happen that I was expecting was the lady at the desk didn't swoon over how hot he is. And animation aside, what the heck was going on in the house? What'sherface is about to kill the prince and she's stopped by some random expert marksman from outside with an arrow and it's never addressed again. And somehow this was part of her plan to get arrows into the house so she could use them against the knights? What? And we're supposed to believe the Vile are some impossibly strong beings, yet she exhausts herself and leaves without anyone even properly attacking her. And who did she attack with her last arrow, it was meant to be some sort of sneak attack and looked like she hit Owen, but nobody seemed to be hurt in the next scene. How are we supposed to see Vile as a threat when our first encounter is so underwhelming? Yuuya didn't even pull out a weapon before she gave up! Oof, what an episode. Emerje |

IMHO, Yuuya should take the adventurers guild card he got from that Xerox-looking machine, go back to his cabin and forget about the whole wacky royal family. Stick to selling his drops to the local merchants or cash them in for Yen. Better yet, start creating magical items that he can sell. Maybe something like a refrigerator or an oven. I would suggest he dump the princess and the assassin.
Neither shows any promise of being good for his future. He should be working with rabbit-sensei to improve himself now that that Vile knows what he looks like. Whether she is a legitimate threat or not is yet to be determined. As far as his relationship with Kaori and his classmates are concerned, his should keep working on it. It's good for his mental health and PTSD recovery. Get a smart phone and a TV with all those drop items he can convert to cash. Maybe he can get cell service in his cabin so he doesn't miss when someone rings his door bell because she wants to see him. Since I have only read the 84 free webisodes, I don't know if what I am talking about is part of the source material the anime committee is using or not. For all I know, I could be totally wrong, but, oh well, here's my one Yen's worth.

Stand down, that was just a joke that turned into a linguistics discussion. I really enjoyed the conversation between the meadowland and the mountain at around 15 min in. And the pan across the mansion that ended with a screeching halt 3 seconds before the smash cut. By the way, did I read that right? They finally located the Prince in the mansion where they put him to isolate him?? I have no idea what happened during that fight.
Really hating the jealous harem bit a lot now. It's not funny and just leads them into basic logic-defying writing that Emerje pointed out, though some of that had nothing to do with the harem. It was just bad. |
