I think in the game there is never a shot where you can see her human ears so I'm guessing its just a misconception

If you watch the opening it is easy to notice that all of the animal ear people have human ears as well.

This topic still going really speaks to how much everyone cares about the nature of catgirls.

Evening, patrolmaaan.
I love that Yuuki and Kokkoro presumably have some grand quest they're supposed to be going on, but Pecorine immediately co-opted their guild and made it about food instead and everyone just accepts it.

I mean, Peco's got some sort of quest she's supposed to be doing as well... whatever led to her leaving home with the family sword etc.

(The party's first gacha-pull was a SSS that's balanced for lategame stuff, and just carries them through the early missions. Her personal mission is at level 70 in the third major zone, so she's just hanging out and eatimg for a while.)

((I have no idea about the actual game, but I'm assuming evreyone with a unique design, like random collapsed demon girl, is a cameo from it))

drat this episode had a lot of konosuba energies

Not even 6 minutes into it and ive had a few good belly laughs

e-I know the director is the konosuba one and that EP5 might as well be entirely directed by him but if its not then episodes director is a master in comedic timing in their own right

Yuuki and Kokkoro make Aqua and Kazuma look like goal-oriented taskmasters and it's brilliant how little they seem to be interested in doing...whatever they were summoned to do in the first place.

I honestly would never have expected Yuuki to be a stand out part of the show, given he is the mobile game player character stand in, but here we are with the worlds most precious boy who must be protected.

Like in any other series all of the girls doting on the MC or falling for him is like "Okay yeah extreme wish fulfillment from the author here" but with Yuuki it makes perfect sense because just look at how adorable he is constantly. Anyone who sees him for an extended period of time will instantly realize how much they wanna protect his smile.

I've been playing the mobile game for 2 years now and I was happy and worried about how the anime would go. This has so far exceeded all my hopes and dreams for the anime. The MC being the way he is goes along with the game narrative while also making him best boi that must be protected.

So is this an adaptation of the game story?

Of course they pick Kana Hanazawa to voice Aoi.

Thats two shows this season were she voices an...unwell...girl with communication issues.

Three if you count Shinako Morinome from Yesterday wo Utatte. She has less bad communication skills but has really unhealthy hangups about the past.

To my knowledge the anime story takes place before the first chapter of the game. Characters are in the game and so far have been presented accurately. I really want an English version of the game to come out because there's so much vocals and dialogue for every character and chapter. But so far there hasn't been any US company that's taken the bite to bring it state side.

Yeah this appears to be a prequel that MIGHT overlap into the early game. The guild already is quite prominent at the start of the game (and the group of 3 kids from episode 2 or 3 are actually a guild in the game as well, implying this takes place at least a few years before the game's story.)

I hope all that means there's never any actual plot and it's just these idiots doing idiot things together idiotically for however many episodes we get.

the anime has a handful of scenes that correspond to early game stuff but it more or less retells things after the three main girls meet up because in the game they don't form the guild immediately, there's a little over a month that's just conveniently waved off as "time the MC spent running into all of the gacha characters (while living with Kokkoro at Saren(blond elf)'s orphanage)". the game is pretty unique about how it sets up the timeline of its events. its a web of character episodes, guild episodes, and main story.

so basically for the adaptation they just rewire some things so that it's reasonable for an anime. it also has the director's flavor of comedy setups added in. basically, all of the mob-character dudes you've seen so far are anime original

I'm glad we're going to get more of the llama character. I tried to look at the game's wiki to see what the hell the plot was supposed to be and it was incomprehensible except for the fact I guess everyone is a person playing a VR video game except for Rima, who is literally a llama. A llama playing a VR video game.

So yeah, that's why Rima is my favorite minor character.
