Agree on utterly unlikable but he was supposed to be quite competent when dragons are not involved. He was an S-rank adventurer and guild master for probably at least decades after all.

I made the mistake of watching this with an empty stomach and now I feel even more hungry……

I thought talents are manifestations of blessings from the gods, but apparently not in this world. It is interesting that Mukouda was told that he had not much talent as a blacksmith while implying a blessing would not help him much.

Already OP Fel & Dora-chan getting 50% boosts?! Luckily Mukouda has them under control (barely) by their stomach. I suspect they’ll end up going to the dungeon though, despite Mukouda’s efforts.

Takeru did the usual person-from-isekai thing: after being told how precious something is, he made something extremely powerful with it and gifted it to the village while insisting he just want to relax and not to be noticed.

In the guild, nobody noticed Bee the dragon until Takeru pointed it out. Very observant adventurers.

Light built a town inside the Abyss in 3 years with only his gift. I suppose all those fairy maids and population are from his gacha too? And it seems they do eat so there is enough infrastructure / logistics to support that too, that’s how much power his gift has.

This episode was mostly introduction to the "four 9"s. Light has been training as well and supposedly got much stronger in these 3 years. It seems he is going to start his revenge next episode.

I saw Sonic in the credits and thought, did I miss his appearance? And there was a after credit part.

They could have been more explicit about why Sonic’s stomach got upset.

Remember: a surface cannot be completely covered with packed circles.

Only one punch in this episode! (2 if you count the poor wall)

Please, indulge yourself.

Watching this made me hungry and yearning for fried dumplings. The orc general kind if possible.

In the last episode the deity said Takeru already made a difference in the world. Now he saw the forest changed overnight but dismissed it. He was also able to create magic stones out of nothing so basically he can solve the world’s energy crisis (if it had one) single-handedly, and handle multiple monsters without breaking a sweat, and that is after the deity tempered his abilities.

We meet the manure-smelling starving elf who is in the opening so someone we’ll see again. Takeru might had been the “idols don’t go to the bathroom” type in his old world.

Ha ha, not the worst story that exists but there are definitely tons more better things to use your brain capacity on.

You guess is correct and I must have just missed or forgot they mentioned it. I also don’t remember the whole part from before he joined the party that betrayed him but it’s been quite a long time since I read the manga beginning.

Even if he didn’t have a choice, like when someone is offered a foul-looking dish to eat by some relative one can’t refuse, he could have shown the slightest bit of hesitation, but there was no hint of that.

Technically not an Isekai, just fantasy.

They seemed to have expanded upon the origin story compared to the manga (not sure about the LN which I’ve not read), and also gave a reason why Light’s gift was not useful until it did.

It would have been better story-wise that Light did not trust Mei right away. Remember he was just betrayed by the party he trusted and Mei was treating him extremely well for no apparent reason. But I guess we can’t expect too much from a power fantasy.

Humorous and educational as ever. TIL keeping a cow as pet is impractical for the typical household.

Yes, I was surprised by its length. I felt like I watched a whole episode of anime by the end.

The source raw manga is on Alphapolis App which I use from time to time so I sort of follow it, so I decide to check out this anime. The animation quality is fine, which is a relief because some other Alphapolis series got not so satisfying adaptations.

I have forgotten the beginning but it is the usual generic isekai. The deity-like being just told the protagonist he’s dead in the real world but he’s not even curious how he died.

Takeru is such so soft-hearted he basically got kicked around by the deity, then the shop keeper, then the dragon and ended up doing errants for them. And it seems Takeru got disliked by the deity of the new realm through no fault of his own. At least he has got almost infinite mana and was given a lot of powerful skills which I guess we’ll see in the future. He should learn to communicate his wishes more clearly though so he does not end up with the wrong kind of “lovely partner” like he apparently did.
