I am kind of irritated that Netflix says 2 episodes available when, you know, there aren't.

Watched the first episode with my wife, who isn't too big on anime.

She found it enjoyable, although I think me actively gushing about the episode made it more entertaining for her.

Glad to see Emily Rudd back and SungWon is always a pleasure.

Coming in with no knowledge of the manga. That's some good looking food.

Watched the dub and it was great. The VA doing Marcille sounded a little stilted in some lines but sounded great whenever she was throwing a fit.

Q: is this going to evolve from the "guy is super into weird poo poo, girl isn't" joke? I'm giving the series the usual three eps but I am not convinced from this first ep.

It definitely takes some time for Kui's meticulous worldbuilding to pay off, and I might have ended up dropping the manga if I hadn't started reading it in the middle of its run. I don't know if the first 3 eps are going to cover up to the point when I first started really getting into it.

nah thats it the whole way through, laios is a weirdo throughout the series. nothing else is developed or explained, its just that for 14 volumes, 97 chapters, 40 to 50 episodes. you better stop watching now to save yourself the disappointment.

this is going to be a good "anime series for people who dislike common anime tropes". i recommended this to my friends, when marcille got grabbed by the plant, and i immediately got worried. but fortuntately it didn't go into fan-service territory, and for that, trigger, i salute you.

I want to avoid talking about manga stuff, but at least for me episode 3 should be the chapters where I started to realize just how much of a smartie and crazy creative Ryoko Kui is.

Finally sat down and watched this and so far so good. Marcille's bizarre rear end gag with the sound completely cut off got me really good. Excited to see the rest of the journey.

Not watching the dub but super, super neat to see Sungwon Cho get a voice role. I remember watching a manga collection video of his ages ago and he was gushing about it back then. What a nice story.

The dub is good, tho I feel like Senshi's characterization is a little off. He is generally very mild and speaks in an old-timey manner so having him say "tastes like rear end" really caught me off guard. I'm also not sure why they felt the need to change his line saying "Senshi is dwarven for researcher" to "Senshi is dwarven for seeker".

Pretty sure that's the translation they go with in the official manga releases.

According to the subtitle he's saying "taste like gas" and after listening to it a few times I can hear it.


Very strong first episode really looking forward to more!

I'm pretty sure he says "rear end" and the subtitles are just wrong. "Tastes like rear end" is a thing people say. "Tastes like gas" isn't.

I haven't watched the whole thing with the dub subtitles on, but just a few seconds earlier the subtitles say "Gives you the run or something fierce", when he clearly says "Gives you the runs something fierce".

Only Laios sounds like generic anime man but he's by no means bad.

I mean that's kind of the thing though, he is by all metrics an unoriginal-looking adventurer, like he is what the DM's 11yo cousin his aunt asked to let sit at the D&D table would come up with when making his first roleplaying character (a fighter that wields a sword because the rules are pretty simple for a beginner) but, and here's is the important part : he is a weirdo and that suddenly makes him very interesting.

Yea I read the series and knew what was coming, but when I saw that scene I was worried they decided to add their own bit of fan service. I was happy to see I was wrong.

Yeah he still has to match timing so he doesn't go over his scenes but not having to match lip flaps is so much easier.

If netflix isnt willing to pay to reanimate the flaps then the director should tell the actors to just act as they wish and not worry about the drat flaps so much. Its the single reason left why dubs are bad compared to subs. Every other problem has been worked through but this persists, and its an expensive problem to fix. We the audience should just go back to enjoying dubs that have 60's godzilla mouth flaps!

So Bang Zoom, then. They're the studio contracted out for those dub according to the credits.

As you said, it's a very expensive process to reanimate scenes in an industry that saves money wherever it can. The only instance that immediately springs to mind is when Pokémon 4Ever added an entirely new, fully animated and voice synced scene for the dubbed version, but that was 20 years ago and kind of unprecedented.
