Watching this made me hungry and yearning for fried dumplings. The orc general kind if possible.

In the last episode the deity said Takeru already made a difference in the world. Now he saw the forest changed overnight but dismissed it. He was also able to create magic stones out of nothing so basically he can solve the world’s energy crisis (if it had one) single-handedly, and handle multiple monsters without breaking a sweat, and that is after the deity tempered his abilities.

We meet the manure-smelling starving elf who is in the opening so someone we’ll see again. Takeru might had been the “idols don’t go to the bathroom” type in his old world.

Ha ha, not the worst story that exists but there are definitely tons more better things to use your brain capacity on.

You guess is correct and I must have just missed or forgot they mentioned it. I also don’t remember the whole part from before he joined the party that betrayed him but it’s been quite a long time since I read the manga beginning.

Even if he didn’t have a choice, like when someone is offered a foul-looking dish to eat by some relative one can’t refuse, he could have shown the slightest bit of hesitation, but there was no hint of that.

Technically not an Isekai, just fantasy.

They seemed to have expanded upon the origin story compared to the manga (not sure about the LN which I’ve not read), and also gave a reason why Light’s gift was not useful until it did.

It would have been better story-wise that Light did not trust Mei right away. Remember he was just betrayed by the party he trusted and Mei was treating him extremely well for no apparent reason. But I guess we can’t expect too much from a power fantasy.

Humorous and educational as ever. TIL keeping a cow as pet is impractical for the typical household.

Yes, I was surprised by its length. I felt like I watched a whole episode of anime by the end.

The source raw manga is on Alphapolis App which I use from time to time so I sort of follow it, so I decide to check out this anime. The animation quality is fine, which is a relief because some other Alphapolis series got not so satisfying adaptations.

I have forgotten the beginning but it is the usual generic isekai. The deity-like being just told the protagonist he’s dead in the real world but he’s not even curious how he died.

Takeru is such so soft-hearted he basically got kicked around by the deity, then the shop keeper, then the dragon and ended up doing errants for them. And it seems Takeru got disliked by the deity of the new realm through no fault of his own. At least he has got almost infinite mana and was given a lot of powerful skills which I guess we’ll see in the future. He should learn to communicate his wishes more clearly though so he does not end up with the wrong kind of “lovely partner” like he apparently did.

“We won’t be able to rebuild the party if I don’t get everyone’s help, from all generations,” she added. “I will scrap my work-life balance and work and work and work and work.”

“scrap work-life balance” doesn’t sound like a correct thing to say for a leader even if referring to oneself.

Not the worst thing I, I mean AI bots, have been trained on.

I wonder if economics has anything to do with this trend worldwide. When people have to worry about their next meal every day they tend to get frustrated and finding something or someone to blame, rightly or wrongly,is a way to vent that frustration.

With more and more wealth concentrating at the top 1% it stands to reason that the population that feels frustrated is increasing quickly.

Would they explode like pagers?

Why was there no mention from Steam that they have belatedly sent out the emails? Were the people who wishlisted the game still not notified? This is no way to fix a issue.

Sad to hear that being successful in work impacted negatively in their private life this way.

There are anti foreigner sentiments in every country, for Japan the right wing Sanseitou party made the news by winning a few seats running on “Japan First” in the last election.

I have not checked out the SNS comments, but I think they are separate issues: the insensitive comments were probably about the husband’s race or nationality, not about his royalty status. There was also the privacy problem of some people posting photo of the husband, who is not a public figure, online.

I believe that is a piece of Star Fruit.
