The anime name is so long the title couldn't fit it all lol ? (this isekai animes are getting longer each season)
I was not expecting much of this one and it was a bit fast paced for the first episode but I do understand it is to lay the ground work. Looks very interesting. Hope it keeps getting better every episode.
Also what the hell was that one hit? She is not even the rarest card yet.

are you watching the same thing as I am????????? this is maybe the worst thing I have ever seen and I've seen a dead corpse with its head missing
It is not that bad for a first episode by any means. The only compliant is the pacing but it is typical of these long name anime. If the pacing gets fixed and we got some world/character building then I can not see why it is bad. But we can not judge yet, have to wait for more episodes to see where this is going.
The weird thing is, they already said this is the hardest dungeon in the world, and he is at the bottom of it. How is he supposed to summon an Extra?.
Also, why doesn't he keep summoning then? As they show, he summons 3 or 4 of them, but he could summon thousands of times. I hope they explain this stuff next episode.
Honestly, I'm curious as to how this series will progress. I just hope that they don't scale too quickly - if Light becomes or has Lvl 9999 friends, what is the conflict? Him getting revenge on the Concord of Tribes? What could go toe-to-toe with people who are Lvl9999 (assuming this is the level cap)?
I just feel like we have scaled wayyyyyy too quickly. I love summoning partners as a trope, but I feel weird that Mei is super super loyal "I'd do anything for you" off of the bat. I hope that there is some way that we can get proper character/relationship dynamic and I hope that Light isn't an edgelord the entire time.
Mei is essentially his minion, and is probably bound by natural laws to obey him unquestionably.
That's what I'm concerned about.
To me, dynamics like this work well if the characters have a natural development in their relationship. Summoning servants/minions is fine, but I personally like it when the initial relationship is like "I am bound to you, but I'm not friends with you" and it develops from there.
It's just that Mei is... way too loyal for now and I'm not really a fan of that. I'm still gonna watch and see how it goes
I had absolutely zero hopes for this, but from the first thumbnail of the dungeon, all I can think about is Danmachi. It's interesting that JC Staff has done so many anime, and yet I think is the first one to use the EXACT same art style, character designs, etc as Danmachi. I'm excited to watch this for that reason alone honestly.
Damn, before watching this I didn't read the full title or the synopsis so I had no idea he was gonna be betrayed, I'm probably the only one who got shocked xd
Gotta give props to the author coming up with these concepts, gacha pulls that has better odds where there's more mana, clever.
I hope this becomes like Nutorious talker, he obviously won't be as nasty as Noel but hopefully he wants to kill them for what they did
Finally I read the manga a while back and the fact the art is like Dan Machi which I also enjoyed , I don't know but anyone who also read the manga please correct me if I am wrong the Concord of tribes party was talking about Masters right not Maestro right? wrong translation from Japanese as they also said masters right? I remember they were trying to kill any potential candidate master beings that they don't want from Humans right?
I'm lowkey geeked for this. I just hope the revenge part doesn't make us wait until like episode 10.
The revenge is bit by bit. So there'll be arcs of each party members' kingdoms, while progressing the story of the circumstances behind Light's powers and the civilization.
how many kingdoms are we getting this season
I read the story a while ago so the details might be wrong. The first few revenges were the beast and dwarf guys. Then Light goes into a dungeon in a dwarf city with an adventuring party composed of some of his summons where there on the bottom floor they find some big mystery, and there is a conflict with antagonist "masters" (who are humans with highest level of power among all races). So they will probably end the season around there!
Based on the ED, I'm expecting: 3, unless they do shenanigans with the story order, or are preemptively teasing a future season character Reasoning: The group of elves featured prominently are part of the second revenge arc, and there's one solo shot of the dark elf, who's the third
The dwarf is fourth, but that would require covering 5 volumes worth of content (6 arcs), which would be a lot of volumes to get through in 12 episodes. 3-4 episodes per volume is pretty common pacing in recent seasonals for other shows, so while I don't think we'll get there, we'll just have to wait and see.
Tbh, that was a waste of animation.
This pile of garbage doesn't deserve that kind of quality.
This thing was barely watchable. I hope the next episode does SOMETHING that makes me feel like this is an anime, and not just a fanmade compilation of other anime scenes.
The music is bland, not even bad, just the most uninspired stuff ever heard.
I'm not sure if you're referring to the opening in particular, but the opening made me think that my speakers were broken because it just feels so... flat / bland to me...
Also, that was exactly what I was thinking with the arrow and how edgy it is!!!! I thought it was gonna be a found family thingy but I was so wrong...
The gacha idea is interesting and there is at least some quality to look for. I think there might be monsters that can use a bow and an arrow maybe like a goblin. Not too far stretched. Ya boy need strong motivation to take revenge. But I was taken by a surprise at the racism but it made me lol.
Of course, there could be monsters that use a bow and arrow. Tho definitely not in the hardest dungeon out there, where the normal monsters are giant snakes and hellhounds.
The strong motivation needs to be built up and not pasted onto the story in 3 minutes. I can't believe what I'm about to say, but even "redo of healer" had a better pacing and revenge set up.
I'm watching this just because Ikumi Hasegawa, who is one of the most important people ever to exist by virtue of being Ikuyo Kita from Bocchi the Rock!, is the voice of Mei.
I hope that the OP gacha pulls don't make this anime too boring.
Hm... the idea of Unlimited Gacha being more useful in high mana density places is interesting one. I basically guessed it the moment he summoned a fork and an apple tho I was thinking more of "maybe the world is set like a video game and this city is just low level so that's why gacha is poor considering the title".
I have a few issues with the story tho. I have to assume that Light is from some remote village, because otherwise it doesn't make sense that he wouldn't know and would be surprised by the racism towards humans. Still I saw a few humans in the crowd so how are they doing in that world? Are humans a race universally disciminated by everyone in the world? Or only in this city / country? Concord party sounded as if they were talking about far wider discrimination than only one city / country (even tho it was a lie). From the ending I spotted some place being burned down and it seemed to look a bit like a human village, so is discrimination so bad that humans have to live remotely to avoid being killed? Or not? Because if it was then Light would not feel so ok with becoming an adventurer if it was widely known that human settlements and humans are being targeted for extermination.
I also were side-eyeing the elven lady when she was fawning over Light when he is like 10yo? His departure from his village looks so much like Ash'es when he goes on his Pokemon journey that her behavior looked lowkey predatory to me. I must say I was kind of relieved it was just a lie until she said that "higher ups" wanted her to marry him if he turned out to be a "Maestro". Speaking of which, it looks like this specific party is working for someone who is looking for a powerful person among the humans (Otherwise why would they keep targeting humans looking for the "Maestro" if "Maestro" was not appearing specifically only among humans?) There is something sus going on here. They want to get this Maestro and have babies with him? Probably for his powers? But why? Do they want to somehow "take over" some gift from humans by inter-racial marriage and baby-making? Is it even possible? How do gifts work? Are they random? Are they passed down in families? Or there is a chance of a specific gift appearing from the specific type among families with a ceratin gift type (like for example, family has a martial type gift in their family so members keep getting only martial gifts related gifts). This I feel should be explained early but if it's tied to the whole "Maestro" business then I understand they may keep withholding the information how the gift system works so they could later explain it when they will reveal the whole intrigue about "Maestro".
In any case coming back: I feel like protagonist should be older. Him looking like a 10yo kid kind of makes it look silly, tho at the same time I guess him being a kid means he will not behave innapropriately towards his summoned waifus. Which brings me back to Mei who is already behaving innapropriately towards him. She is even worse than that elf girl, because she is genuine in hew fawning over this 10yo kid. She doesn't even sound like an older sister type or a mother type no. She sounds like a proud fiance or smth.
I also couldn't not notice that among gacha cards he summons there are only possibly 2 men (I don't know what gender the golden knight is, I'm assuming a guy but it could be a woman). I'm all for strong women and all, but at least they could shuffle it around a bit and give some diversity (i.e. let him summon monsters as pets too) and evenly split the genders he summons among the humanoid looking cards. I know that gacha are full of waifus. I play a lot of gacha but it always annoyed me how little justice is given to diversity and gender equality among characters that players can get. It makes gacha boring if every gacha is just a generic waifu, no matter how many types they have.
Not to mention that Light seems a bit... I don't know if it's due to his age or because he was raised in peaceful village, but he trusted those people very quickly and didn't even suspect a thing when they went to this very super bad scary awful dungeon. I feel like he should be at least a little bit concerned why a party of lvl100 and above would want him a little child in their party and why they would bring him to this scary dungeon when he can't fend for himself and just barely started his journey? Like it feels like such an obvious scam that I feel like she should have be at least a little bit suspicious, but like I said maybe he is just a kid from a province village who thinks people are just generally nice, and had his first bad experience in a big city and when he thought big city is bad this group of people adopted him and told him he is good enough for just making tea...
Okay, what? First they take him in, talk big, praise his tea and whatever else, flirt a little, and then two seconds later they throw him out and are all completely different people? I hope the episode gets better... this is... confusing.
EDIT:
Ah... yes... of course... because there's more magic in the dungeon, he summons an ultra super SSR maid... yes... of course...
Well... I'll watch episode 2 and then decide whether I should drop it.
The main character is introduced with almost no backstory. He’s just a kid who suddenly finds money and already has a completely broken ability: an “unlimited gacha” that can give him anything
A random woman hugs him out of nowhere, he joins some supposedly “non-racist” team for no real reason, and then that same team immediately tries to assassinate him because of his power.
He gets teleported to the bottom of some dungeon, uses his power underground, and suddenly a girl shows up and kills a dragon like it’s nothing. At that point, the story completely loses any sense.
it’s hard to take seriously.
Overall, it’s watchable, but the writing, pacing, and logic are pretty bad
