Just saw ep 5, I really enjoyed how his party wasn't all "wow hero why can't you be like this guy" when the 'rival' showed up. There's something really endearing about a group of misfits that somehow get along with each other. And them all straight away turning on him was actually kind of sweet in a way.

I like this show.

Echoing this.

Usually this would be the part where the protagonist reflects on whether or not he deserves to have the party he has or if he should treat them better, etc. Instead they just flat out reject the guy. It helps that when it comes to Kazuma's lousy reputation, some of it is misrepresented or misunderstood but he is not really an innocent party in it.

That's the thing though. Despite being a bit of an rear end in a top hat he does care about his party and his party appreciates the fact that he puts up with their weirdness.

Sure but during the moment where a guy who is clearly better than Kazuma in every way (on paper) makes an offer for them to join him instead of Kazuma, he can only think of them as problematic party members who just won't leave.

Excuse me but the hero we deserve is the wielder of the Holy Sword Excalibur. :v:

Not much of a wielder with only some practice and no real experience.

I somehow just learned that he's also along for the falling bit.





I just realized the reason Megumin casts explosion during that segment is to create an updraft that Aqua then takes advantage of.

I'd say Darkness still ends up being a good tank but it's clear her desires keep her from being an even better tank.

Season 2 is much better than season 1.

Yeah, it really is. Like, there's some great moments in S1 and it establishes the foundation of the dysfunctional party dynamics but S2 is so much better.

It's not awful. Just a bit slow because after the initial discoveries of how-to-make-food-that-isn't-poo poo, it just gets repetitive in a cultivation-esque manner. More interesting to me are local politics, neighbor politics, regional politics, etc.
