Thats why the dude was there when they 1st came in. His job is to sell them into being fighters. That is his job and you could tell he was basically manipulating them into thinking it was their only option. They also did not show what the guy would have done if they refused.

Besides what good would asking around do? Nothing because they already committed to the border guys and so what say one guy goes crying back "take your money back I want to go farm" or some shit. They can easily quietly dispose of them.

We just don't know enough about the world and setting yet to make the kinds of criticisms you guys are making. The 1st 2 eps focused on the group, it has done very little world building yet.

I, for one, think its funny that Eca makes a joke about prostitution, and then Toad takes it as a legit idea and just keeps running with it.

the prostitution was a joke for me as well from the beginning. Or well, I could see it happening (or her being raped) just not intentional
I wouldn't call her oppai wizard if that was serious.

I think, between the two ridiculous made up sports this season, I prefer Aokana's Flying Circus over the preposterous Stride.
I mean, at least the winning part is pretty much clearly spelled out in FC. No idea how the Relation part of Stride even matters.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

omg, we killed the gob. We are horrible people
which is fine but if that's what they're doing... why not just stop doing that and you know... open a bar like all the other people in the city seem to be doing? Or if there's sexslaves as the red haired one seemed to imply from ep1 surely you can sell the body of the oppai wizard if shit goes south. Not exactly nice either but the set-up so far just doesn't really seem to make a lot of sense, when people seem to argue about how it's one the strong points of the show.
I get that this is fantasy but to me this just seems like a cheap excuse to have fights / the drama that will inevitably happen later on. note on that:
[23:42:35] aw, I might have just gotten spoiler'd from looking at MAL character names
[23:42:41] to find out her name

Granted it can always get better and the animation looks really good. The backgrounds in itself are for me enough to watch it just because it's something you don't get to see all day. I just wouldn't call it good either. At least for now.



Open a bar? With what money? Being a fighter is probably the only way they wouldn't all just starve to death considering they started with 0 money or knowledge. Sell one of their number as a sex slave? Wat, yea they really want their main characters to be monsters. Its a midieval setting so its not like there is a lot of ways to make money. I don't even get your criticism except to say that you have no idea how hard it would be to start with nothing while knowing nothing. In such a confused state they were given a chance to make a living so they took it. Who said that maybe they won't do other stuff later once they actually have money?

They also didn't think they were "terrible" people that much. More like that one dude was musing to himself a bit about the "other side". Most of what they were feeling was from being put in a life and death situation and their 1st combat and committing violence.

Pretty much this. Unfamiliar place, can't remember where they are from and only have basic knowledge, aka they need to kill monsters to earn money to survive etc...

So one of my two predictions became true when Obi got chosen to be the attendant. Now let's see what happens with my other prediction.

Actually, I'll make another one: Zen's brother still wants to remove Shirayuki from Zen or at least test Zen. The upcoming incident with the boy is set up. In the end, love prevails and the brother will be partially convinced.

yep, agree 100% with prediction. + Show Spoiler +
Very likely this was the reason for the visit back to Tanbarun in the first place but the brother kept it hidden and wants to see just how dedicated she is to Zen. Do like how fast we are moving along this eason so far!

Don't forget the meeting of the childhood friend in class in the 2nd ep very Asterisk like Oh with a dash of Naruto since it looks like his big bro killed his whole family then left lol.

I wonder if that's the hook for just about every battle harem because of anime adaptation purposes. For the fanservice l0l.

There's also varying degrees of reaction from the female MC, from Claire (Blade Dance) to Kyelse (Sekai Encore).

Bahamut, as generic as it is, I thought was quite good. Episode 2 was pretty fun and the pace is rather fast. + Show Spoiler +
At least I didn't expect to see the MC going Bahamut mode so early and the princess to drop the tsun after just one episode. :D

even if Japan is not a saint, I still prefer modern capitalist societies over anything in the empire. I just hope the other nations on earth don't start acting all evil again. That would be too hilarious

It must be too hard for a lot of people to not write some derivative of IS for some reason. I wanna see more copies of index, Horizon and mahouka. Not IS, and isekai/tensei series.

IS is not exactly original. Regios, and I'm sure there are earlier ones I can't remember..

And how is Mahouka any different except literally Jesus?

Mahouka is a magic highschool battle harem set on slightly futuristic earth where magic(or something similar) was suddenly discovered like the rest of its ilk. Even if it's maybe not really a harem (much like rakudai i guess)
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

I'm not really talking about the characters. More so just the style of world building used in those series. The characters can be w/e. It comes off less lazy to me than writing IS(or most MF bunko j books I guess?) or isekai/tensei series.

Haven't seen chrome shelled regios but t looks interesting. Should I read or watch?

Edit: oh, sukasuka has translations now. Today is a good day for me
