This is a lo tmore entertaining than I thought it would be. I can see this becoming one of the few shows that I’kll keep watching all through the end.

I love every frame of this. I think I found my anime of the season.

It's one of the better generic ones so far with very few points sticking out where someone could hit their toes. Pro: MC works for his skill and doesn't get it presented on a silver platter. Con: MC is completely dense and oblivious to his actual strength. I hope that this will resolve quickly and it won't turn out as a running-gag that overpowered MC thinks he's the weakest. I hate this trope so much.

The interesting parts should start in this season.

sigh

Holy wow… MC is hard to watch. OP is by Tokino Sora so I want it to become a hit, but I don’t know if I can warm up to that type of MC.

There absolutely had to be a naked kid for no plot reason at all other than to pacify the pedos. Two scenes later it's back to fox form as if nothing ever changed. I'm so sick of this shit in anime.

Also, Jiro is quickly becoming my favorite character (it doesn’t hurt that he looks so fluffy, lol)

For me it's his calm voice and demeanour.

Mia Luna Tearmoon IS NOT A VILLAINESS. She is a bona fide genius and saint!

@altec@midwest.social :

I recommend the great fantasy shows named Snow White with the Red Hair and Maoyu. Both are great. Especially Shirayuki.

And if you're interested in light novels there are a couple that follow the same premise as Archdemon's Dilemma.

I like Livia, but my Homeless Girl Ranking is still Anzu > Nino > Livia.

PS.: What are the chances anyone in human history ever said the words “Homeless Girl Ranking” before?

I assume it's not a anime centered around anime then. In anime circles the Frieren anime was already one of the most anticipated shows based on the Manga which was hugely popular long before the anime announcement. Then when the anime aired it dethroned FMA:Brotherhood from the #1 spot on Myanimelist which was like cemented by the word of God or some such. Took everyone by surprise and the discussion flared at that point with discussions about the popular manga, how awesome the adaptation is, about that insane 90 minute first episode, and about the FMA:B fans frothing at the mouths about that affront against their religion. It only got more popular from there with exceptional week after week and finding its way into the mainstream media. In Japan especially it got so huge that the phrase "It's what Hero Himmel would have done" became a mainstream saying like we in the west would joke about WWJD. I love that anecdote and I hope that isn't just a fad and stays for good.

Yeah, not a chance that there won't be a second season. The phrase "It's what hero Himmel would have done" has reached into the consciousness of the general populace in Japan. When was the last time that happened?
