nice art but what the fuck is with that choreography? what way would mikhail have to be swinging for their swords to clash in that exact way? allen is obviously jumping backwards and guarding, but mikhail should be extending his arm down rather than forard and the blade vertical rather than horizontal. unless he's doing some weird backwards jump lunge, but still the point of impact wouldn't have his arm extended forward like that

Maybe I missed it but I don't think it's ever been revealed in the manga what his int stat is for. Once he boosted his intelligence to abnormal heights with items to boost his perception but that wasn't really a use of the stat itself.

Guessing its the same as historical nobles, i.e sure they have more power and status but they're also always at risk of getting cucked by the king or other nobles. Allen had the right idea when they first named him manservant, that it would actually result in much less freedom for him. As a commoner he could have done whatever he wanted as long as he paid his taxes and still accumulated insane riches by this point.
>>
>>286385514
Power progression and time wise too much happened though. Time skips in general should be used sparsely, but here its like "fast forward one year, look at me I grinded 10000 goblins". The first 5-6 episodes set your expectations for a nice slow burn show, but now I'm worried we'll see Allen advance by leaps and bounds every episode. Especially since Allen seems unconcerned with even trying to hide his power level, despite ostensibly wanting to do his own thing.

Ratings have kept going up ever since the brat debuted. Clearly she's what the show needed.
>>
>>286390462A demon lord appeared like 50 years ago and they need as many talent users as possible to fight against him. Nobles with talents are obligated to fight for 3 years, most of which die, so talentless children are lucky/desired in a way. For humans, this is all being hidden, and I assume the anime will end on the reveal.

I should probably start watching this show first. This one just doesn't stand a chance having to follow frieren.
What is that bandanna the mother is wearing?
That whole hunting segment was retarded.
Why did he carry his hunt to the duel? Why not leave it with the chef?
Pig man has a shiny face.
Bikini armor exists in this world. There is hope for this series. Kinda funny though the hand drawn bikini armor and the lazily pasted in 3DCG armor on either side of it.
So he's a failed spiderman now?
If an orc is 1500 and a deer is 1200, how is it so much worse to farm? You get meat and experience.
I'm so tired of localizers.
Good thing he had that pondering orb on hand.
Another boring episode. I'm still amazed the amount of CG in it that the studio just said, yea, that's good enough.
>>
>>
>>286397902
My point is the author immediately contradicting himself. Why point out how hard it is and the sword will break if he keeps it up? Should have instead something like the sword isn't doing much but it is something.

Doubt it when they can see the knife slash wounds and the missing magic gems, like Krena's dad saw the dog bite marks on the birds, though I don't know how these people are getting paid for their kills, so they might just be assuming it was some other adventurer that got them. Other monsters/animals probably also eat the corpses.

In the ln, it was because the chef wasn't actually there and Cecil called him over to the duel area when he was about to go fetch him.
The anime sometimes combines multiple scenes into one, and it didn't really work this time.

I know what happened there, im saying it's fine to shorten it there like you're not going to repeat Lord of X everytime you speak about some lord of X, right? Its the same logic here, the repetition would look off so it was cut and nothing was lost because we know they're talking about a (sword) lord.

this show is moving at a glacial pace. episode 8 is covering chapter 7 of the manga. is this season going to be 22-23 episodes? I don't see where it's really going to end if it stops at the typical 11. also with this pacing the war arc is going to take 2-3 seasons. I don't see the show lasting more than 22-24 episodes anyways
>>286391210
if you think this is fast, wait until you get later in the story because it just glosses over a ton of it and suddenly our MC is jinwoo. at one point he tells his friends he needs to leave to level and comes back after skipping a ton which could have been explored
>>286386647
they're actually only a couple of feet tall, basically the size of a normal chicken. they also talk
>>286388437
nope he always uses his summons to do everything, but his summons don't require mana to maintain so he can just keep them out. synthesizing the cards uses the most mp, summoning them takes a some mp, then after it's 0 mp cost. his summons have their own personal MP. one thing I wonder is if he dies will they be able to stay out
>>286408149
"sword master" is the top tier swordsman class, which his childhood friend has. sword lord is one tier below that
also spoilerswhy did they make such a big deal about the "noble's obligation" when it's simply military conscription. that's really typical for knights to have to go to war. what is with all of the secrecy? it's manufactured conflict for no fucking reason
>>
>>
>>286415340
I know I saw that. in the manga they have more panels showing how many stars the different classes have. they don't give a chart or anything but I know in the top two sword classes krena is 1 star above the hero. dverg is a 3 star krena is a 4 star
>>
>>
>>286416688
it's kind of shit but I really wish they spent more on his time spent at the noble house. the academy arc is basically nothing. we see nothing of his classes because they recognize him as different so he doesn't just sit in classes. it also doesn't follow the typical trope of nobles bullying peasants since the MC is recognized as the member of the house he's serving. there's no blonde nobody prince who bullies people. it's truly an afterthought compared to other stories. it's used in a different way since the uni gives them services which would be covered by an adventurer arc in other shows. there's a tournament bit later but it's not student teams against each other although students are in it
