It was interesting Takizawa-sensei ‘reincarnated’ by changing her pen name and publisher and her fans didn’t find out. She was a really good master teaching Nashida how to deal with fear. I worry about her health though seeing her smoking so much.
Hey don’t pouch other mangaka’s assistant in front of them.
It’s been a while since I’ve read the manga, I heard they adapted the pre-redraw story (a strange choice) instead of the final version in the published volumes, so things might be different depending on which version you remember.
Me too, I hope Ernest is okay and just busy with life.
Technically no, it has to specifically have Dual-Mode support (DP++). In practice most of them do, at least in the consumer space.
If it doesn’t then you need an active adapter.
Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.
There is also the Begger’s Chicken which uses clay in a similar manner to trap the moisture. (Obviously there would be no salty taste transferred to the food, I think)
I was very obvious who the Empress was in the opening even if her face wasn’t shown. Why were all the generals female though and why would a bro-con sister throw multiple young females at her crush?
It was ironic that she created an empire of no skill discrimination by having the strongest skill. It was moving she did it for Arel and he appreciated it, but then she tried to use her skill on Arel and we see why he didn’t care to stay around.
This series was a mindless power fantasy. Arel had no skill but he was diligent and got a good environment growing up (having people around showing you skills from god-level jobs). I still don’t think that is enough to make me believe how nobody else was able to overcome the job restrictions.
I still enjoyed it for the anime it was, turn you brain off and enjoy the absurd OP-ness of the protagonist as some kind of guilty pleasure.
Animation quality was average or even below, it was night and day compared to Campfire Cooking I was just commenting on, but not unwatchable or too jarring. I must say I watch One-Punch Man S3 without noticing a lot of animation-quality stuff people complained about either, so YMMV.
And there is one thing that bothered me every episode:
Why is the opening song titled “Reincarnation” (and chanted multiple times in the lyrics) when this is not an isekai and the protagonist wasn’t reincarnated?
Huge slime Sui was cute, and the voice acting was excellent too. Its size even surprised Fel so it is stronger than other huge slimes of the world.
Glad to see the other party did not look down on Mukohda for looking weak. Glad his reputation and rank was paying off.
Mukohda actively trying to fight was also surprising as I seemed to remember from the source materials him complaining all the time trying to avoid fighting while having cheat-level powers like the protection put on him and weapons (and cookware) made with mithril. I’m glad he gained some confidence and put them to use. The deities especially the male ones must be glad he would be closer to gaining a tenant selling alcohol.
Sui-mixer!
That salt-baked meat looked delicious, and I’m watching with an empty stomach…… Japanese people have a term for this called meshi-tero 飯テロ equating the showing of delicious food / eating with terrorist attacks, causing suffering on innocent people (stomachs) indiscriminately.
As I said in another comment, what a coincidence salt played a role in two animes the same week. I wonder what they did with all that (10kg of) salt afterwards. Depending on the setting, place and period salt could have been more precious than human lives (but I guess not if you had access to salt produced in an industrial scale from online supermarket).
I wonder what cooks / restaurants do in real life? Can the salt be reused or do they go bad after a while after absorbing all those juice? Throwing them all out seemed such a waste even if they are inexpensive.
Cat-eared mushrooms!
Takeru was sent to this world to stimulate changes, but the first thing he did caused every trouble he had to fix later. It seemed it worked as intended though as the world became a better place.
Pure coincidence salt played a role the same week in two different animes. Takeru only carried premium salt on his travels? Perhaps he should carry some cheap salt from now on in case he runs into more slug-based monsters in this world.
Glad to see Ha-san (Big Sis). Isn’t this her first appearance outside of Futami’s flashbacks? For a mangaka, having someone buy both physical and electronics copies and giving it stars made them a goddess.
Because I liked this anime, I checked out the author’s other works and picked up her shōgi manga a while ago. Tōko-sensei was from that manga, and I’m happy to see Amano-sensei (voiced by HanaKana no less) and Natsuki-sensei making an anime appearance.
Futami completely turned into a fangirl in front of Amano-sensei. It did not occur to me she was such a big shōgi fan before she started her manga, but it made total sense as writing a shōgi manga was her idea in the first place.
Futami’s social media icon is her turning into jelly 😄
The explanation from this article made more sense to me: Sam Altman’s Dirty DRAM Deal, than DRAM manufacturers colluding to decommoditize PC computing.
That is not to say they did not willingly take advantage of the situation, they definitely did.
I also agree with GN that micron taking public money and then doing something against the public interest is a bad thing.
This portrayal of Gnosias was not what I expected. I thought they would become ruthless and calculating psychopaths but they basically just retained their personalities and (non-)intellect (which is what we’re told but I thought it would be more of a “on the surface” thing). It didn’t convince me that it is sufficient to turn people into murderers. I also wonder if “Gnosia would not betray another Gnosia for no gain” would be wrong in future loops because it’ll make deduction impossible.
Yuri’s room door also worked during warp, which I feel contradicts with sensors not working.
At least it answered what happens if somebody locked themselves in a room: Gnosias can erase victim from a distance. Not sure if visual contact is needed but I’m willing to believe it isn’t.
I’m disappointed to not seeing LeVi blowing up the ship at the end.
Welcome Takara-chan!
And congratulations to Nashida-sensei who got a new serialization. I suppose her fan letter was forwarded by the publisher? I doubt any mangaka would open their home address to the public in this age. The idea that the charm might have contained an Airtag crossed my mind, I’m glad her fan appeared to be a normal person.
I have ran into API bugs on piefed.zip twice because I use Voyager. I heard Piefed native UI doesn’t go through its own App API so bugs like that are harder to spot for people who just use the web UI.
e.g. https://piefed.zip/c/home/p/725212/cannot-post-using-voyager
The bugs I encountered were not too annoying and both resolved after a while (presumably after some Piefed update). So being on the dev branch has its disadvantages but I don’t feel too strongly one way or the other.
Having a philosophy of “I’m so benevolent granting those useless weaklings merciful deaths” was all fine and good, until he got to be the weakling.
The 7777s got to work out this episode, and Lv.9999 Nazuna will face off the party leader next.
Insult a god and get a new hairstyle.
Genetics works the same way in this Isekai, and for elves too. Usually they are hand-waved away by the existence of magic or that elves being half spirit beings or something. Brolite was glad that Takeru has a solution to their problem, but to convince the other elves they needed to find their god.
The Taiwan Assurance Implementation Act, which Trump signed into law on Tuesday, says the U.S. State Department should carry out reviews of contacts with Taiwan no less than once every five years.
Excuse my reading comprehension, but aren’t these reviews a thing that can go in both positive and negative ways? Is Taiwan celebrating just because, “Hey, the US officially mentioned us!”?
So I thought, hmm, for one-line roles in a 4 minute anime, these (bottom three) people did not sound unnatural at all. I looked them up and turns out they are 10+ years veterans and had appeared in this anime multiple times already in other roles. How we ended up in this situation might have been an interesting story of the anime / seiyuu industry but we’ll probably never know.
Luckily the elves recognized Libelania and still respect her (him?), and this solved Brolite’s sister’s trouble that came with her marrying an outsider.
@rikka@ani.social :
We saw that the white god was checking up on Takeru and was satisfied that he caused positive change in the world. We also got a small recap of Takeru’s experience and the anime ended with them arriving at the sea and enjoying seafood.
I follow the manga and while this anime is not a bad adaptation, if you like it check out the manga as well. It is pretty well drawn and contains more detail than the anime.
