This show tries really hard to be Frieren despite the generic ln source.

Btw the director for this is a Trigger/Cloverworks oldfag animator with a lot of big titles behind him.

>>280210322
So it's gonna be all visuals no substance basically.

>>280210169 (OP)
sell me on this

>>280210563
Water magic cultivation.

Manga is about 70% CG with some filters but I kinda like it so far, how is the animation on the show?

>>280210568
I still have scars on my feet from the last time that I hiked through a forest with sandals...

No English subs

>>280210783
works on my machine

>>280210580
>cultivation
Picked up.

Subs out.

>>280210580
is this chinese?

>>280211041
no

>>280211093
>i'm so fucked up

Well, taking a look at the manga, this truly seems like absolute trash.

Was it truck-kun?

>>280211157
>>280211187
She super cute, telll me nothing bad happens to her.

comfy op

how long until blood bending?

>>280210568
This looks gay, any hot chicks?

>>280211322
Is this the same character?

>>280211148
I will probably leave it off at this episode. The visuals looked nice, oh well.

>>280211041
https://ncode.syosetu.com/n0022gd/
No. At least the anime pacing will be faster compared to the WN and manga even with only 12 episodes

>>280211368
the ed animation isn't even about the mc

That water magic animation at the start was really cool.
>using ice crystal to condense light and start a fire
Wouldn't the ice melt from the sunlight's compressed heat?
Besides, ice isn't as transparent/translucent to let light pass through directly without refracting it, is it?

wow that was fucking boring.

liked the first episode, gave me magic maker vibes with an actual decent budget

The dragon is fucking ugly
Give me Slime300 season 3 instead

When do they get wet?

What was he eating all those days he spent doing nothing but play with water?

>>280211650
at least the slow life part ends in only in 1 episode unlike the manga

>>280211677
that series was awful and very boring

IT'S TIME

looks like mushoku tensei but boring

>>280211899
so this is what happened with yuuta after JJK

>eternal shota hobo fucks shit up with the most overpowered element
not bad, does he get an elf gf or is it yaobait

slow life bros

bros... literally nothing fucking happened HELLO???

>That time I got reincarnated as a dragon after dying as a master swordsman oni serving the great demon lord rimuru

>>280211993
Neither or both

The animation kind of almost fell apart at times.

What did the dragon tell him?

Made some stitches.

Adol?

>>280210519
So, Frieren?

>>280212017
To be fair, he wanted a slow life. At least he will go traveling to other places soon.

>>280212084
Small animation studio that they had to delay Haigakura after a few episodes aired.

>>280212194
No, Frieren had sexy girls.

This has yaoi-boys.

dayum

>>280211187
Look at cloth suddenly appearing near her left armpit, that may be a colouring error.

Last stitch.

Who?

>>280212237
Could be.

>>280210169 (OP)
>Water magician
How wet?

>>280212413
very wet (from the standpoint of water).

>>280212217
But Frieren also has yaoi-boys

>>280212290
i just watched this part. maybe the elf? she's being hinted at the ed after this

>>280211593
WN is irrelevant. The LN (which the manga/anime are based on) deviates from it, the author mentioned the LN deviating from the WN himself in the LN afterword.

this was a nice ep with different encounters and the mc growing up skill wise
i feared for the worst after that anon's post

>MC is eternally 19 years old
>Calls it a terrible fantasy
What age would you like to be if you were to remain eternally that age?

>>280212661
Probably 15 like Sonic, he could do it all in 15.

>>280212278
Thank you so much for the stitches, anon

>>280212588
I assume the author added extra stuff in the LN than a full deviation since the WN is still being updated unlike Reincarnated as Slime WN which already ended years ago

>>280212661
In the LN he didn't know that though, he was just suspicious about why he didn't change in looks over 20 years but didn't make any assertions, as for all he knew, greater longevity is a default isekai cheat trait or something. Is it different in the anime? Haven't seen the episode yet.

>>280212868
No, it sounded like an actual storyline deviation, probably closer to something like Death March in terms of WN/LN difference, but I don't know the extent since I have never read the Water Magician WN.

>angel bro reincarnates him with eternal youth and magic powers
>big hawk bro inspires him to get stronger
>dullahan bro helps him study the blade
>dragon bro is probably teaching him a bunch about the world
>washed ashore bro about to take us on an adventure
this is good shit

Is the entire gimmick of this going to be WAOW WATER ANIMATIONS?

I'm always shocked by the fact that every single anime that comes out will always have at least one anon who has read the source material, no matter how random or obscure it is

>>280211645
>There is an episode of mythbusters where they literally start a fire by using a ball of ice as a magnifying glass
>Anon declares this probably is not possible

>>280211187
She's great.
Is this gonna be our elf of the season?

>water magician
>gets bitches wet
>doesn't follow-up because he takes things at his own pace
living the dream

>wants slowlife
>goes hunting down the wildlife around him

>>280213450
He only has two months worth of food and farming takes a bit of time to get started.

>water magic

>>280212661
25-27 literally peak performance, of course that means shit when take into consideration that you have powers, magic etc but as a guy 25-27 is literally the best

>>280213450
like isekai nonbiri

>Ayumu Murase

When will the isekai fad die?
I'm so fucking tired

>>280214665
when it stops being the most profitable thing in japan

>>280214665
lol

>cute elf
aw fuck now i have to watch this

>>280213347

>i'm being reincarnating
ah great did this get hit with the MTL ELS slop like necronomico too?

>>280214752
She's less cute and her ears have different lengths.

>>280213347
Not too many elves this season, unfortunately

>>280214752
That's not an elf, and even the elves in that setting don't recognize her as an elf, but as some kind of eldritch abomination that is an uncanny valley elfoid.

>>280214765
That line isn't completely wrong if the reincarnation process hasn't actually happened yet desu

>>280214960
if it looks like an elf and fulfils the role of an elf, it's an elf
simple as

>>280211114
I'll only start watching at this scene.

>>280214994
it is still fucking wrong because the correct word for that situation is reincarnated

ice manipulation is pretty OP huh

>>280214665
>fad
Isekai is forever

>>280215106
Is this an Andrewsarchus?

>forcing a running opponent to slip and slide right into a ice spearwall
that's pretty gnarly

>>280211281
I still haven't finished the last LN volume that got translated, but afaik she's fine. Also pretty much the only girl the MC has interacted with in any significant manner.
>>280212078
Abel exists for the explicit purpose of being bullied and directing the retarded protagonist on occasion.

you should have wished for city life with a harem instead of the "slow life" in the middle of bumfuck nowhere that's filled with monsters

dullahan erotic

He actually has to practice his magic? He should be creating tsunamis with the snap of his fingers the moment he got to that world this is trash

>helps him out with sword training
>gives him a snazzy new ice sword
what a chill guy

>local bird with knives for feet, can conjure thunderbolts from nowhere and has invisible wind sword magic
seems like a bit much, jeez

jesus fucking CHRIST, can this guy catch a break?

>>280214943
Nevertheless I like what I've seen thus far.

>>280215135
Someone has been playing Dark Messiah of Might and Magic.

>>280215483
He wished for a slow life, but everybody around him lives fast.

>>280215483
>politely speaks to you with telepathy
bro tier

>>280215913
he's nicer than he looks that's for sure

>>280215948
Not dropping a shadow is indeed impressive.

AOTS

>>280215106

>>280214660
>Koyasu teaching magic
>half an episode of magic practice
>first attack magic is multiple casts
It really feels like I'm watching early Botsuraku again

>>280213311
They speedran the shit out of like half of the first book, which is good because that shit was so boring I almost dropped it.

>muh magic is physics
This is exactly what I'm looking for in my isekai slop

>>280216234
Is he simulating every molecule in his mind?

My one complaint is that they skipped the bird coming back with a friend that it managed to get killed horribly before fucking off to evolve. That fucking bird was unironically like 75% of the action in the first volume.

Japan remembered to say thank you

>>280216272
That's what 1% of a Japanese teenager's brain looks like

>>280216034
Indeed.

>>280212217
Picked up

>reincarnted
>looks like a generic japanese
Why do they do this?

>>280216976
So that his sex with the blonde blue eyed elf is more cathartic.

>>280216234
>>280216450
Why he will not just boil the enemy blood?
Or freeze their arteries?
Or oxidize water from skin for instant knockout?
If water levitates at the start of the cast, why can't he just levitate by suspending his body water?

>>280216976
Nothing wrong with it unless they're doing the muh accursed black hair garbage.

>the most generic arr rook same isekai protag ever
Let me guess. He's also a beta herbivore and gigantic faggot too

>>280211217
Isn't it always?

that was alright

>>280214665
hopefully never

>>280213311
same

>>280212017
GOOD

Be honest with me, how long is it until he buys a slave and/or attends an academy?

>>280210169 (OP)
Well that was the most bog standard setup episode I've seen 99999 times before. I hope it's ACTUALLY about living the slow life and doesn't devolve into some convoluted geopolitical nonsense like 95% of these shows do.

This looked fucking great, why is there so little interest?

>>280218765
>isekaislop #21024124984776

>people getting filter by rushed episode 1 and shit manga artist
Can't say I'm surprised and I pity them for not knowing this hidden gem

>>280214660
who is she?

>>280219564
a lesbian from Princess Principal

>>280219492
Hidden gem? How so? What makes it stand out from other isekai?

>>280210169 (OP)
watching it for abel suffering

>>280219492
So far nothing about it stands out. If it doesn't show it's greatness within 3 episodes, I'm not gonna wait any longer.

>>280219492
Pacing aside there was absolutely fucking nothing (0) interesting or innovative in this episode. Literally copy/paste from countless other series, uncannily so, beat for beat.

>>280219849
>story is slow paced like honzuki
>characters are not 1 dimension NPCs created to suck mc dick
>leave wife to take care of house while adventure around the world with his bro discovering shit
>it's fun

>>280220671
and none of that was in the first ep, so people are just going to never watch another ep of it

>>280219492
It would probably lose more people if they didn't rush the start, barely anything of consequence happens before he meets Abel.
>>280217955
He does neither for the first 3 books, both of them seem fairly unlikely with the direction the story is going, but I wouldn't be THAT surprised if they shoehorned in a school arc later since the Japs love them.

>>280211645
should be more concered about him going atoms and shit
but then again MCs that get isekai'd are usually walking encyclopedias

>>280220671
I see. Then is it more about adventuring than conquering certain regions?

>>280211645
Refracting light is how lenses work, anon.

>>280215483
Why he looks so goofy? Even boar looked more detailed.

one of the worst OPs I've heard in a long time. never hire this faggot to make songs again.

>>280212217
Boys you say?

>>280220671
immortal and an elf wife?
that is EXACTLY the sort of person entitled to take an elf wife every few hundred years and spend a lifetime with each.
make the elf feel like a ningen.

>>280215106
Well magic is basically "do whatever you want with your imagination" so anything is OP in that case. There's no real limitations or rules to work within, there's nothing to learn. You just "imagine" whatever you want and then "practice" imagining stuff until it works the way you want it to. It's basically vibes-based magic.

Spoiler me, will he be able to bloodbend?

I wonder if the people who write this sort of schlock experience cringe. It's probably just something he was requested to write by a publisher with a checklist of features a market survey showed people like, and it puts food on the table, but even if it's just a job I probably wouldn't want my real name attached to something like this.

Comfy forest shack.
OP is generic.
Truck-kun does his job yet again without rest.
At least the angel was thorough in giving him books to help him get up to speed.
Water does not freeze by forming bonds, it looses heat energy and the molecules stabilize. Further water expands as it freezes, a very rare odd phenomenon for a liquid becoming a solid. It exerts 40k PSI of expanding force.
He's a pretty pathetic supersoaker.
I thought he didn't need to say the attack, just think it. Just thinking it would be better since it allows some kind of surprise.
Why did he go all caveman?
This feels like someone discovered what a water jet table is and figured he could write a whole story about it.
He sure has a lot of trust in that monster to not start tearing him apart the second he got close without a weapon.
He has made friends with a dragon, already.
The ED is promising a cute elf girl. She better show up soon to rescue this show. It desperately needs a cute girl.
Wasn't the beach shot the same one as when he went swimming? How did a ship wash up and become so rotted in a short enough time?

>>280217955
There's no slaves or school arcs in this.
>>280221020
Yes, he starts from that Rondo forest, moves to the Kingdom (his new home), western countries, and different continents and meeting different nonstandard fantasy races/beings with Abel or groups of different people.
>>280223706
No

>>280216234
>>280216450
Can he make a hydrogen bomb?

>>280217001
I was thinking balls of boiling water would be better than icicles for attacking.

>>280224052
>No
Gotta say that kind of kill my interest on the series.

>>280223558
ie a small bastard child of tolkien soft magic, in the vein of mushoku and tabletops.

why did he pick a fight with the dullahan?

>>280212661
35chad

>>280224656
because it was there
