Did someone say axe magnet?
That's kinda the premise. He's an overcautious rear end in a top hat.
It kinda reminds me of all the times the great Hero Lina Inverse destroyed entire cities because she got pissed off at some bandits.

You're either going to have to accept that or this show isn't for you.

Yeah, the destruction Seiya causes is part of the comedy for me- if he was just cautious, the show would just be boring. It's the fact that he takes all these precautions, overtrains to the point of absurdity, and somehow makes this hellworld less safe while being an absolute dick- gently caress man, that poo poo's hilarious to me at least. Especially combined with Ristarte trying to get a regular ol' isekai adventure going while making all the faces.

The comedy is the absurdity of his caution. Like dumping holy water on everyone even after the first undead. Or blowing up a church even though it was just as easy to drag the zombie outside and then blow it up.

His caution seems to be very selective, though, in that it only applies to situations that might endanger him personally. Setting off gigantic magical blasts right next to his allies and bystanders without even warning them is the opposite of cautious, unless he just doesn't give a poo poo about anyone but himself.

"Go on until you're stopped."
Or being paranoid about being poisoned when he's not actually in a position to turn the food down either way.

If you're looking at Mangadex, they only have up to chapter 5. This site over here has a few more, but that will only get you as far into the story as the episode that just aired.

The anime and the manga are both based off the light novel, which is based off a web novel, so there's plenty of content left for the show to go through.

Go ahead and read the manga even if you've watched the show. It's really good. I keep getting the feeling from the anime that the jokes had better timing when I read them.

I checked that a while ago and they were only on chapter 7. I totally forgot there was an anime coming out so and I forgot that we're still under 10 parts of the manga made.

The finer points are still wtf, but yeah the overall idea was telegraphed from the tea scene with Ristarte and Aria, the fact that Great Swordsman dudeguy was once a human and then became a god, and Granny Goddess saying how much he's grown with a certain sense of familiarity

Ristarte is basically Rae Dawn Chong in Commando and it's awesome.

I get the feeling his catchphrase is supposed to be him telling himself, psyching himself up. "It's ok, you can do this. You don't have to be afraid that everything will go wrong because your boot wasn't tied properly. "

Though I could be wrong.

Oh hey, a conflict that would actually challenge Seiya's belief system: is tossing an innocent person under the bus worth the extra security of an ultimate weapon? I get the feeling they'll dodge around the question anyway (the ultimate weapon actually sucks compared to Seiya's stuff or he never intended to sacrifice her) but its neat to see the show explore its own assumptions instead of relying on their one gag.

Yeah, Seiya's gonna give her a 1-Up and then chop her head off himself.

Some terrible show (Oreimo?) did a joke about varying the EDs so that completionist crazies would buy multiple drama cds and there would be more engagement for watchers and it's like yeah that's exactly what's going on nowadays.

Everyone wants to gently caress Seiya is kind of funny. But mostly for Ristarte's reactions.

Probably one of the more amusing "twists" on the typical Artemis character in a good while---that they so knowingly revel in their own over the top approach and eventual delivery clinches it every time.

Ristarte's seiyu really carries this show. Without her it would be a much more generic show.

Yeah, Ristarte and Adenela's positive downward spirals are fine, this one just caught me off guard honestly.

As did Seiya not firing off so many arrows that it turned them into a wall of pierce damage that blots out the ground.

Also, I'm totally expecting Seiya to take the armor regardless and use it for synthesis.
