Had me in the first half, not gonna lie

^There's, like, no heterosexual explanation for how close they are in this pic (or the others from Kyouyasai).

Who knows where Apex lore is at this point. I'm just impressed Loba's makeup stayed on.

My opinions are purely subjective, I didn't mean to demean or diminish anyone else's enjoyment of the show. I'm not typically a fan of straight high fantasy dramas and it shows. I went in expecting a more comedy focused isekai romp, and some of the marketing made it seem like it was when it really wasn't. If anything it would be a strength that it actually managed to keep my interest despite grievances.

My only real genuine gripe is how it seems to keep constantly bringing up some real big interesting dilemma about the world and its consequences, then immediately sweeps it under the rug and moves on. For example, the mana potions supposedly driving people insane. I get that that tackling that topic was not the point of the show, but it bothers me that it goes completely unaddressed aside from the "they're bad and you probably shouldn't be using them anymore." I also understand basing something on what it isn't instead of what it is is unfair, which again, is why its just a subjective opinion.

It also commits the cardinal anime sin of everyone standing around angsting for several minutes instead of fighting, followed immediately by unnecessary amounts of property damage and monologuing, but that was covered under the "anime bullshit" umbrella.

@elevown I didn't bring up any of that since it was technically a spoiler and one of the few things I found genuinely interesting, but also is really still a very personal character motivator. In the grand scheme of things, and with the world building as a whole, aside from the existence of a handful of magical items the fact that its an isekai isn't really apparent. I also never said that that was a bad thing. As PineconeJuice stated its actually pretty neat that its integrated into the world more naturally, instead of being shoehorned in like most isekai, or having the character constantly go "it really do/don't be like that back in my world, Urban Japan."

^ Huh... The more I read the more curious I am about the anime. I guess the book has a lot of talky moments, obviously, the medium allows for that, which fleshes out issues and whatnot. I also don't really remember mana potions. Reading all that made me both curious and a little bit more prepared for the show to... Be a different experience.

InAmeSame when shork is too tired.

They never became a couple. There was a lot of heavy flirting but then Bang said Loba was a friend and gave her the cold shoulder and Valk literally swooped in on Loba. I also stopped playing at this point so I have no idea where they are at lol.

Also Suletta has definitely forgotten that Bob even exists.

that is literally not thicc she just isn't rail-thin

^ im not sure what swag means by mana potions either- there arnt any.. They might be refering to the boost pills Anis uses made from monster crystals that make her go a bit crazy - she has them in a little bottle.. But they are not some big issue- she is literaly the only person with access to them and that is the only occation so far that she uses them- and they dont even effect her THAT bad.

@herenowforever I do agree it seems a bit rushed especially in the last few eps. They coulda made it 13 or 14 long and it woulda been enough- but i dont think making just the first 2 vol for the anime woulda worked- it doesnt have a satifying conculsion at that point - and there wouldnt be enough in the first 3 vol to span 2 seasons- so I do think a 1 cour was enough to cover most everything and keep the pace up. But like I said 1 more ep at least woulda been better pacing for the ending. But the ending is still amazing and satisfying imo :)

especially as a yuri fan- i cant think of a better iesekai or even fantasy anime from a yuri standpoint - tho maybe im forgetting some shows lol.
