Sword of the demon hunter episode 1 was cool. I was looking forward to that anime and so far episode 1 delivere

Is it true that it gives off Demon Slayer vibes?

Is it true that it gives off Demon Slayer vibes?

Yes it does but hopefully it does its own thing. The first episode was 53 minutes long.

Emul cutest character in SLF

A-Rank party anime is being like my guilty pleasure. A trashy fantasy anime but the dungeon mysteries are getting me hooked up

Might have to check it out then.

Fun fact, Sunraku's VA (Yuuma Uchida) and Emul's VA (Rina Hidaka) are married in real life lol.

Same. It's underrated for sure. The girls all are great.

Too bad the anime skipped A LOT of stuff from the manga though.

I'm just glad that it has 24 eps. This 2nd cour seems way more interesting than the 1st cour.

Yup. 2nd Cour will be introducing more lore into the dungeons and probably more info about Persephone (the goddess of death/underworld and Hades's wife in Norse mythology), and I want to see the new girl with white hair in the ending song that will definitely joins Yuke's harem party.

Speaking of skipped contents, the anime skipped and censored a lot of shit (fuck censorship man).

They skipped tons of romance/romantic dialogues of Yuke and his girls. Which I don't get it but okay. At least Yuke's and Rain's "temporary marriage" in the newest ep didn't get skipped though so that's good.

As for censorship,

Spoiler: Explicit manga content, you have been warned

When Yuke's party was still in the dungeon with Thunder Pike (Simon and others) in the previous arc, then they got into a brawl and whatnot, then the orcs arrived and stuff. Simon and Jamie escaped per canon, but the other two didn't end well.

Barry got eaten to death by orcs in the manga while Camilla got raped to death by orcs on panel, she even vomitted and dies after. Yea I can understand why the anime didn't show this but still.

Personally I'm not really interested in the potential romance in that series as the characters are too flat but yeah it's not good to skip manga content. Though maybe they wouldn't feel as one dimensional if they hadn't skipped those parts. As they're focusing on adventuring that's enough for me.

Damn those spoilers. Hardcore stuff lol

Oh yea, the reason why the anime feels "flat" because they skipped the good parts lol.

A tanned elf basically

its not something amazing but I wouldn't call it "trashy"

It's ok I guess

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

Speaking of comparison, The Beginning After The End (or rather, It Ended Before It Began) anime is pretty much Mushoku Tensei and the author pretty much said he is inspired by it. But it doesn't have fanservice and the story is probably as good as MT.

But yea, the anime completely destroys the iconic webtoon, might as well read it.

TBATE gets really good starting at the school arc when it expands in its worldbuilding and it goes a completely different route from MT starting there.

Don't know why turtleme sold the rights to Slow Curve. No one's gonna start the novel through the anime like this.

The author's biggest mistake was giving TBATE anime to studio A-Cat out of all the studios out there. He could have just wait and better studio would pick up the project.

I mean they sell it to the producer and the producer picks the studio but yeah I get what you mean.

I guess since it's american based and hard to het adapted otherwise he just jumped at the opportunity, albeit not a very good opportunity at that.
