  Yes this. I totally forgot about this scene, i died when i saw this xD

  What's that thing called, where a character has a trait that contrasts their usual one? Gap moe?
  
  Eris nails the annoying brat trope in a way that cracks me up laughing, similar to how Saika (Oregairu) nails the trap trope. It's like a gag to hear that annoying squeaky voice, with her popping out without any delicacy. It's those girly moments that offset it, like showing up in a fancy outfit.
  
  I dunno if that gap moe applies to Rudeus's pervy nature, but that gets me to crack up too. The voice narrating his thoughts might have something to do with it though. The Hilda scene... XD
DKaito 5y
Dem. Good episode, critical point is coming fast. Also when Eris asked about notes i remembered that Rudeus was taking his notes through life in Japanese, well it was even shown in episode.
Big Spoiler time -> Rudeus will meet Perugius some time in future, but rather later than sooner
Next episode or episode in two weeks will be BIG. Can't wait!

Edit: I wanted to mention how good every episode opening theme composes with animation. I much more prefere this than standard opening, full of spoilers or full of nothing - those are two typical patterns and i'm bored with them.

This show would be AOTS material if it weren't for the pointlessly creepy shit the MC does. Every episode has interesting worldbuilding, a bit of character development, and 5 minutes of "haha look at how much of a gross piece of shit this kid is"
- UnsaltedBiscuits 5y
  Just remembering that the MC is a bona fide grown man in a child's body is okay to me honestly. But when he does the needlessly creepy stuff to actual kids, it's disgusting. It's enough to put me off.
  Chronos 5y
  I couldn't agree more. If not for this it would be a much more enjoyable show.
- DKaito 5y
  He will "grow up" And it will be soon enough. I mean, he will stay somewhat perverted but he will be showing it much less.

  It gets worse before it gets better though
  once he gets ED it turns into one step above child porn

  @AISo @UnsaltedBiscuits @Chronos
  Creepy for sure. Unnecessary I don't think that I agree. The scene was meant to show that while Rudeus is making some strides towards becoming a fully respectable adult he isn't there yet. While physically rudeus was 30 something, emotionally he was no older than 10 years old, in his previous life he never got close to touching someone of the opposite sex.
  
  P.S I am not condoning Rudeus actions what he did was wrong, I am just trying to explain the reasons behind such actions. Please have some nuance people.
  UnsaltedBiscuits 5y
  I just can't see his perversions having meaning. I don't see the point of him feeling the need to grope some kid and check below her skirt. And emotionally no older than 10? I'm not sure I quite follow that, sorry if I'm missing something ((⇀‸↼))
  
  But he clearly knows what he's doing, he even knew what he was doing when he was a toddler, leering at his mother and the maid. He still has the thought process and mindset of a grown adult, which he's shown many times.
  
  And I understand that he's never touched someone of the opposite sex and that he's faced hardships in his previous life.
  
  But it's just distasteful for me personally. I see and get your point though.

  emotionally no older than 10? I'm not sure I quite follow that, sorry if I'm missing something
  
  It comes down to maturity. As Rudeus stated before he spent at least 20 years indoors with zero to no human contact whatsoever, so unlike most people adept to social situations Rudeus has like no filter. It's like someone that has gotten tips about social interaction with the opposite sex from porn games.
  
  Who knows? Perhaps I am being too charitable towards Rudeus character.
PasePedda 5y
The episode was pretty good. I am glad that they adapted the scene with Eris at the beginning. Can´t wait for the teleportation scene
LOBster 5y
Spoiler warning not only for the spoilers in Ep 6 but also for talking about themes of sexual violence.
Why did I have to watch a mentally grown man sexually assult a nine year old? Why was that necessary? And why was it played as a comedy bit? Tell me, anime. Tell me why.
- proma21 5y
  @ThanatosLOB To show that while Rudeus is making some strides towards becoming a fully respectable adult he isn't there yet. While physically rudeus was 30 something, emotionally he was no older than 10 years old, in his previous life he never got close to touching someone of the opposite sex. The scene is supposed to be uncomfortable, and the funny part was supposed to be him getting his ass beat.
  LOBster 5y
  No it's not supposed to be uncomfortable. It's supposed to be funny. The anime played it as a comedy bit. He's getting his ass kicked all the time as borderline comedic. If the anime wanted to be serious about it. the girl should've let him fired or something.
TheAnimeBingeWatcher 5y
So... Rudeus just tried to sexually assault a child.

That is a thing that happened.

Great, show, everyone. So glad such deserving source material got such lavish treatment.
jalesh91 5y
liking the story so far, but the sexual scenes kind of a lil weird since rudeus is technically a child. I guess we'll see where this goes
XXXelim 5y
Where did my 20 minutes go, this episode flew by. Aside from the creepy sexual assault scene this was a very good episode.

This is the best anime this season but I wish we got to see Eris's panties that would've made it anime of the century
- aurichio 5y
  You can’t possibly be serious, right? Did you really want to see a 9 year old panties? How disgusting can a human being be?
  Unlimited 5y
  Check my list I got hundreds of loli hentai there (EDIT: used to)
  proma21 5y
  
  But long as you stick to drawings and the like, you do you king.
  Unlimited 5y
  The "hundreds" part was an over-exaggeration
  proma21 5y
  @aurichio Chill the fuck out, it's just a chinese cartoon.
NikkiArima 5y
was a good episode but i wish they would tone down the sex jokes there
- proma21 5y
  In medieval times there isn't much to do but to fuck, die or play politics.
  NikkiArima 5y
  i know but stuff like the part where he tried to steal her panties was unnecessary and creepy

Loving the world building and character interactions. A lot of show don't tell as well, which is very much appreciated. Not so suddle reminder that Rudeus still has some scumbag tendencies.
Ehllie 5y
This was the episode that made me drop the anime. When the MC groped a sleeping child and then tried to pull of her underwear I just couldn't watch it anymore. It's a shame cause there were come cool parts about this anime but I just can't stand this shit.
- AnimeLoverMeow 5y
  don't forget the aphrodisiac too, (if you still kept watching until the end)

The protagonist is a pedo, I'm not watching this shit anymore
