it's time to find out what will become of this master plan
I binged the manga
Why does it have to devolve into a generic shonenshit?
There's barely any rape and gore anymore after the first 10 chapters
Also
>school academy arc
>Punished Alicia.
>a HERO denied her homeland.
>>280621435>oh no non-fightning segments don't have gore
>just when I thought the suffering couldn't get worse
NOOOOOOOOOO
I FUCKING HATE THIS SHOW SO MUCH
>>280621544I HATE IT
I HATE IT
I HATE IT
At least the Alicia bandit slaughter felt good.
>>280621435>There's barely any rape and gore anymore after the first 10 chaptersRetard.
>school academy arcThe author resolves and wraps up the story with a decent pace instead of dragging it out forever, then starts a sequel story, so there is simultaneously a satisfying ending and more content if you want it.
You're a dumb, slop-eating cattle that dislikes the series for being objectively good.
>>280621435I like that the castle architecture actually resembles actual renaissance castle. Also seminary being based in castle instead of monastery or university also has interesting lore implications.
>>280621911>men look at this rape-slave wetnurse and think "wife"
>surrounded
>gets out of the encirclement anyways
I hate this trope every fucking time
>>280621911i hope she survives and doesn't get bullied too hard. i love my tooth-missing cow wife
>>280621585don't worry, everything will be daijoubu
>>280622015Clevatess cursed her to become moe.
>>280621565https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS6BX-gcJqw
>>280621972Clevatess can destroy the rest of the world if he wants, but please at least protect what's left of that smile.
>>280622167>Alicia can never dies-so you can just fuck her corpse forever???
>>280622178yes (and that fear is why she jumped off the cliff in the first place)
>clevatess will keep forcibly pumping alicia full of his goo to keep her "alive"
h-hot
>i need to stay on the downlow so no one knows i left my mountain
>so uh alicia, go kill all the bandits for me
this fucking lazy bastard, he could probably just send them all to the shadow realm at once like he did with the firs 2 guards and no one would ever know he was here
>>280622015What a downgrade
hearing every single bone in her body crack and crunch while she was contorting like this was pretty gnarly
>she can still feel pain
clevatess you fucking asshole, at least turn her pain inhibitors off if you're going to do something like total bone rearrangement
>>280622348>Hoo? I didn't realize human pain was so debilitating. Such frail creatures...
not so fun having your own teeth knocked out huh
at least she has carme here i suppose
>>280622389She wants the best ~~dick~~ sword.
So is the Madame gonna get killed as well? Clevatess should make her the milk maids personal servant/slave as recompense.
this is the most precious creature on the planet
>>280622446anon... literally THOUSANDS of men.
>sorry, the master wanted the milk truck for something
>fyi, "something" usually involves death by troll rape
cam on clevatess, do something
>>280622484and? her heart remains pure
>>280621565Now make her do the ymca
is vroko genuinely retarded
why the FUCK would he kill the only milk dispenser he has
he should know she's literally too stupid to act on anything, she wouldn't leave just because another slave asked her
>you had ONE thought about going outside?
>death penalty
fucking hell
>>280622545killing is fun!
>>280622571The snorting noises he makes throughout his scenes really sell it

yess fuck bandits
even knowing she's going to be fine, it's still pretty miserable watching her swallowed alive like this
>still breathing after being chewed up, swallowed and spat out
FUCK
>alright luna, daddy needs you to sit in a pool of stomach acid and make sure her last moments of bleeding out are cozy
>>280622545There are other milk dispensers in the waiting, just a mere nine or so months away. Just saying.
>she actually fucking nodded in response
so she can understand him already? we have a genius super baby here?
>i'm sure to win because my speed is superior
>>280622693why does he keep the single horn does he think he is a unicorn
no idea what he was thinking trying to square up to a literal troll in the form of a young boy
>>280622545Umm excuse me I'm a SCIENTIST thank you very much
she's actually pretty decent when fighting bandits
shame that didn't really apply to fighting the king of dark beasts...
>>280622710It's the one part he can't change
>>280621585I hate that this airs on my lunch time, I feel obligated to watch it while eating lunch but it's an awful show to do so.
>>280621911*slosh* *slosh* *slosh*
>alicia, i need you to kill over 50 bandits by yourself
bit of a hard ask clevatess...
>using the environment as a weapon
i really like this, especially in games
even if you can't die, suffocating is still agony
alicia is hardcore for tanking all this
>next week
see, right as rain, phew
Is it just me or is the production starting to struggle
>>280622711>is the king of dark beasts>troll freaked the fuck out so much it vomited at the sight of him while under the drug>dude uses magic to boost the drug which king dark beast said he knew nothing about>this caused the troll to completely lose its senses which he obviously didnt expect
>>280623141yeah but even so, he still had time when he was exposition dumping
he could have fucking just speared the both of them with dark tentacles instead of trying to use his little boy muscles to go mano e mano with a troll
yes i know he's supposed to be hiding but it's literally just them down there, if he tore them apart no one would ever know
>>280620945 (OP)It's going to be a new Goblin Slayer, isn't it? Start with a grimdark edgy hook pilot and devolve into some kind of boring fantasy SoL harem shit.
Meh. Should have ended with ended with MC exiting the lake with the red sword.
>>280623190No. This has actual plot.
I'm drawing a blank, did mention "her thing" last episode?
>>280623275she's supposed to be nice to guys so they don't beat her when they rape her
I'm tired of watching her suffering.
>>280623275>"her thing" last episode?yes, it was "fucking them to calm them down before they start beating you"
>>280622545Kinda? It was implied that the only reason heโs still in power is because he controls the troll. Either way, this whole scene only exists to make the viewer more sympathetic toward Nell. But if you ask me, itโs entirely unnecessary, given that the show already did a decent job of doing that in the previous episode.
>>280623174he's actually curious about the human world and how these creatures that are less than ants in his eyes managed to control a troll, he also doesn't believe that they can meaningfully hurt him in any way so he's perfectly happy to let them spout their exposition before crushing them effortlessly.
given that this 'magic' kinda fucked him up he's likely to be more wary of it in the future
>studio's name is lay a duce
>>280623676>Either way, this whole scene only exists to make the viewer more sympathetic toward NellThe scene exist because it's way more dramatic then the alternative of alicia slaying everyone while clevates and neru watch from the sidelines which is what would happen if the bad guy did what you autismos think is the most logical.
>>280623107It's on par with the previous episode in terms of quality. It obviously doesn't match the first 45-minute-long first episode, which had higher production values and was pretty cinematic, but it is decent enough.
>>280623559I find her suffering quite difficult to masturbate to.
I ddn't expect this. It was pretty smart on her part.
>>280623559its ok her happy time is coming
>>280623995I too would immediately destroy blighttown if given the opportunity.
>>280621480What I'm saying is the fighting segments barely have any gore anymore retardkun
but the biggest offender is how they toned down the fanservice
>>280623190 the rape is literally just a bait for the first chapters
>>280621776Whatever you say shonenslop eater, I have seen many academy arc in other series becoming the most boring mundane shit
>megalohydrothalassophobia kicks in.
>>280624013I didn't think I could hate Girumasu more than I already did
Alina can't even manage to not take several hours to fill out paperwork, no way she could be as resourceful as this
>>280624060isn't the megalohydro part redundant?
>>280622370She should have got a spanking too for a resolve test
>>280622289Crazy woman chopping up all the bandits is a lot easier to explain then one of the largest bandit forts disappearing overnight.
>>280624042what fanservice? The rape?
>>280624096>>280624184...wouldn't "hydrothalasso" be the redundant part?
oh its one o those royna shows
>>280624307then you're just saying you're afraid of big things
if you're afraid of specifically large aquatic creatures then I think it would be megalohydrozoophobia?
>>280623107It has a slightly higher than average budget. It's just that this episode has like 25+ moving characters in a big action scene, so they had to cut some corners.
>>280621565FAIRY GOD PARENTS
>>280622348What'd be the fun in that?
The living onahole needs to be able to feel pain
>>280622050no, that's Anne Shirley
>>280621966Did you miss the part where she effortlessly butchered tue bandits?
>>280622050>last season almost everything had a good OP/ED>this season barely any good ones
Good episode. This is on the way to be AOTS if it keeps up like that
>>280623190It feels like it's trying to be an edgy grimdark fantasy but does the thing some stories do where at the end of the day, women will be safe, so it has no teeth.
>>280622050For me itโs the ED
>>280625931they took away my funky demon hunter OP and gave me a funky witch watch OP instead...
This is better than Berserk.
>>280625995Just like Neru.
>>280622827Nothing that a former female yuusha can't handle.
fuck
can't wait for next week
>>280622050Gachiakuta is def my fav, but this is right behind it
>>280626124>demon hunter OP??
>>280626709yeah it's the best way to experience media
you're literally a subhuman shiteating retard if you stream
>>280626746try finding me the german dub as a download you subhuman
>>280626692Kijin Gentosho came back Monday
you could probably skip the episode though
unless you happen to have liked the cucking
>>280626775>dubfageven fucking worse
open your fucking mouth you dumb little baby here comes the spoon
>>280626746a lot of streaming services are on par with downloaded quality
I sometimes download if streaming services are pure garbage that buffers all the time
>>280626835>1920x1080LMAO
aint downloading shit nigga if the quality is worse than my stream, literally kill yourself
>>280626812oh I thought demon hunter as in demon hunter song was use for OP, apologies for the confusion
>>280626835why are you spoonfeeding a retard? the fuck happened to this board
>1080p download cuck
vs
>1080p streaming chad
>>280626845they're not, don't lie
streaming will literally always be worse
>>280626878>quality - autojesus christ you braindead mongoloid the highest quality available IS 1080p, they're the same fucking file
>>280626909in the vain hope that he learns a valuable lesson so that there's one less streamfag shitting up the thread with stream caps
>>280623107yeah, the fight with the bandits was pretty bad
>>280626940>they're the same fucking fileso why even bother torrenting this when it's the same on web?
>>280626746Just put it in fullscreen
Great episode, this has improved massively.
>>280626978because downloading has better video quality - even if they're "the same", a downloaded file has better bitrate and 0 buffering
also, you get to use your video player of choice, which will always better than anything online
nellbros... she didn't deserve this
I don't care if you're going to stream but do us all a favor and don't post your shitty screenshots here
>>280627418>a downloaded file has better bitrate and 0 bufferingwhat's it like to be a bandwithlet
what the fuck
i should pick this up
You there. I want you to be his milk maid, you have exquisite breasts.
>>280629074only if you like women being commanded to bare their breasts for you
>>280629206can you add some flashing colors like this
>>280621565>THEY PLAYED THE MONSTER MASH >IT WAS A GRAVEYARD SMASH
>>280620945 (OP)>Clevatess 2028>Change we can believe in
>>280620945 (OP)So the 5 races are, the humans, the ogres, the dwarves, the hillbillies and the blacks? Kinda weird choice for a fantasy.
If I didnt know the girl red head will get revived her story would be the saddest shit
>>280620945 (OP)I tried watching this and fell asleep
>>280621585This is why you don't eat expired pork.
>>280630397it's impressive how her tits still didn't manage to slip out
>>280629410I don't know how.
>>280623559Don't worry, Troll-chan has ensured that she will suffer no longer.
Clevatess is such a faggot for ruining a perfectly fine cow woman
>>280631165The udders are still there, though?
>>280631464Should have been reborn like this.
>>280631443The misery made her hotter...
>>280631443the problem is that he fixed her
that's MY job
The episode went by so fast, have to wait another fucking week

>>280632826Go back to 2008
Picked up because of ryona.
>>280623190Looks that way. The pacing is fucked since Clen is pretending to be powerless for "research"
>>280630397Kinda loses it's teeth when you know the main character can heal everyone up or undo death.
>>280633005the point isn't whether or not she's dead but the pain she's feeling
>>280621776>The author resolves and wraps up the story with a decent pace instead of dragging it out forever, then starts a sequel storyNTA but wow I didn't know this story was made by the same guy who made darker than black. I just found out about this show a few minutes ago when it was linked from a different thread. How is the anime, is it faithful or should I just read the manga? I looked up the author but couldn't figure out which one of his stories is the sequel and I didn't want to spoil myself too much. Could you give me a word or two of the name so I know what to look for?
>>280631165They really should stop putting spoilers in thr OP/EDs, litetally just cut the second form until it's relevant.
Look I'm down for a good dark fantasy but I didn't mean literal darkness the whole fucking time
God it's so hard to tell what's going on because there's zero lighting in any of the action scenes so far
You guys told me Frieren was the best thing ever but this is SO MUCH better holy shit, I think I will stop trusting Anonymous.
>>280633729Well it helps that the main characters aren't boring as shit.
>>280633005At the cost of turning them into undead thralls and hybrid freaks of nature.
>>280633168He made a darker than black spin-off manga, not the original story.
>>280633005if you suffered what she went through being healed wouldn't fix your mental scars
>>280633168Do not read the official manga on Line they completely butchered it, just read the manga fantraslated
>>280622601The hair ribbons on the troll are kind of moe.
This reminds of me of Tomie for some reason
>>280635004>this is fine but you can't show nipplesAmerican companies are hard at work in japan I see.
>>280622015>design that is slightly interesting in any way sanitized into dime a dozen bishoujoCome on. At least it wasn't the total downgrade Slime's monster transformations were
What is this expression meant to convey?
>>280635127I make that face when I really need to poop.
>>280633729I love Frieren and this, they do different things and both excellently
>>280635064This show airs at 8PM in Japan. The children can't be allowed to see nudity, only people getting dismembered like they're Nendoroids and cowtits getting devoured alive (and subsequently vomited out).
Fucking finally, MC that I can self-insert into.
Does her hymen regenerate each time you fuck her?
>>280636316i guess? As long clevatess want too i suppose
>>280636316No one knows because no one wants to fuck corpse-Alicia.
>>280635848That's a shadow beast, he self inserts into you
>>280636316Only if you ask Clevatess really nicely.
>>280636412the bandits wanted
>>280636490The bandits didn't know she was a corpse.
>total length: 10 meters
Big fellas.
>>280636687But isn't Betty a woman's name?
>>280635004I would literally fuck her like that. Am I bad?
>>280622477SNAKEEEEEEEEEEE!
>>280636591The reason she jumped is because she didn't want to get gangraped even after "dying", it was not show in the anime
>>280636730She's female:
>Originally a proud troll living in the great western forest. Captured by the bandit group โRavenโ and kept like a slave through Brocoโs magic. Its appetite is insatiable, and it swallows people whole with its huge mouth. It has incredible strength, with punches that can even crush boulders. Itโs a female troll, said to be kept to satisfy the men.>Habitat: From the great western forest to the vertical hole of Elbe>Size: Height: 5 meters
>>280621565PARTY HARD IN THE ROCKS 2NITE
>>280636656>A magical beast that emerged with water from Elbeโs vertical pit 300 years ago. It is carnivorous and hunts prey in groups, attacking and capturing anything that comes close. Its jaw strength is enough to bend steel, and once it bites down, there is no escape. Although it is aquatic, it can also operate on land. When agitated, it has a habit of raising its dorsal fin.>Habitat Elbe's Pit>Size Total length: 10 m Body; height: 2 m
>>280636656It's kinda cute
>>280636963Kinda looks like a nightmare axolotl
This isn't ending the way my Skyrim cartoons go...how can 1 heroine successfully defeat 50 ugly bandits
Looked up the manga and most of it isn't translated, never mind. Tired of getting hooked on stories that never get finished, not going down that road anymore.
What was this retarded bullshit?
>oh no I totally couldn't save the person I said was the perfect wet nurse
>t. op dark beast lord with instant long range shadow fuckery in a dark cave as he just stands there and watches her run and get swallowed
I was with this until this moment, edgy dark story be it as it may, but if this really plays out with her "having her last moments" with the baby it's just ultra retarded writing. Even ignoring this sudden random incompetence, he can just revive people from the dead and keep the baby alive with energy alone, but THIS is a
>oh well, nothing I could've done
moment? Fuck off.
>>280637625Man they really don't give a shit about international markets if high budget anime like this don't even have fully translated source material.
>>280638555you're just so stupid it boggles the mind, even the troll would comprehend what she just watched better than you
>>280638612it got copyrighted by Line and turned into a trash webtoon so the ongoing manga is getting fantrasnalted instead
>>280638671Hey, I'm guessing from the spoilers here she survives, but that doesn't change that he just stood there like a fool, like he didn't kill two man without lifting a finger last episode. Even if he didn't want to hurt the troll, he should've still be easily capable of making sure the person he specifically wanted intact doesn't get swallowed up in the first place. And don't project your own brain damage on me, you retarded moron.
>>280638555he didn't care enough to transform and get there faster its not that deep
>>280621585This is just like Vueko all over again fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
>>280638801Clevatess doesn't care about her personally; she just serves a useful function for the baby he's trying to raise. Plus he can turn anyone he wants into a zombie puppet if the need arises.
>>280624391fuck you im laughing now
>>280626909in the past, the streamfag would have been shat on and mass reported till a mod publicly banned and pinned the ban so we could all laugh. unfortunately newfaggots are tech illiterate niggers.
>>280621995>progressive bossbitch pretends to be nice>preaches about girl power and female solidarity>instantly turns feral out of jealousy when a man shows interest in her "ugly" friend instead of herself This was so fucking funny. Reminds me of that psycho whore from Princess Mononoke.
>>280632760>when you nut and she keeps sucking
>>280636656Why are all these heroes so fucking WEAK?
Well she's back in one piece again.
She's going to be punished for thinking of anything but the group by the ratman.
Guess it's a good thing the troll didn't chew. This way she can suffocate instead of the pain of being chewed to death.
Well, guess she gets to suffer on a little longer.
What a cute little girl the knight was.
Guess that's one way to get to the bottom of the lake.
The ED really doesn't fit the show at all.
Is this edgier than Berserk? Berserk actually gave humans the ability to fight back. In this show it's clear Clevatess alone could solo humanity and the only reason he hasn't is a cheeky experiment.
>>280638555go watch the pv for next ep, she's fine, dw about it
Ok I don't get it, so does Alicia:
>have superhuman abilities due to being a hero
>have superhuman abilities due to Clevatess' goo
>Has no superhuman abilities other than not dying, regeneration, and the skills that made her a hero in the first place
>>280640144less edgy than berserk methinks, berserk had children getting slaughtered and raped, this so far didn't show anything
>>280640396Nell was a kid though
>>280640301I think she just had above average combat skills as a hero, with special combat abilities from her weapon. With Clevatess goo, she also has immortality and limited super healing.
>>280640301She has "skill" from being a hero (they're all jobbers still bandits are just more jobbery)
Goo fixes her wounds that's it
Correct
>>280640301When you don't have to worry about physical consequences on your body, you can push to quite super-human limits, specially if you are already trained.
Like, she doesn't need to hold back when punching or slashing to evade breaking her knuckles, or recover her limb posture after doing so. Her body can break and get hurt, but she can keep going anyways.
That alone makes her a better fighter.
>>280640144there are other beasts strong like him as well some mystery related with the king and these beasts creation
>>280620945 (OP)>13 of the best heroes die instantly>most legendariest legendary hero ever in history killed by fucking FISHThe worldbuilding is kind of boring honestly. It's like the author was so rebellious against standard fantasy powerwank that he wanked it in the opposite direction, where everyone is fucking pathetic and useless instead. But look, that's fucking boring too man. It's the opposite extreme. Jesus.
What the fuck is this person talking about? I thought Nell just talked like that because she's missing teeth.
>>280640947Nah, its fine. Mostly because you gotta see it from the perspective of Clevatess.
That legendary hero died 300 years ago.
The current party, sure, got instantly killed, but one managed to scratch his horn.
From the perspective of Magic Beasts, hundred years, thousand years... it's nothing. And yet, humanity keeps improving, on what in their eyes, is a quite quick fashion.
>>280641021That has a separate problem of making no sense the beasts don't set them back to the stone age or eradicate completely.
>>280641060why would they, they aren't cowards
>>280633300Get a better TV/monitor.
>>280641060That's a human way of thinking. For these Beasts, it's all perfectly fine as long each stays on their own domain. Not just humans, but also all the other Beasts from the other cardinal territories.
Clevatess got pissed because he doesn't understand "how in the fuck" is humanity progressing so quickly, and he alone took it now as a treat.
And even then, he quickly came up with another solution. "Just shadow rule them".
>>280640994They're reading too much into it. She speaks quietly and slowly because it's a defense mechanism against attracting even more violence from the bandits. Couple that with the missing teeth and she does kind of speak like a retard. She also seems ignorant of the way the world works because she's spent most of her life isolated from the world outside the camp.
>>280640511I think those first episodes are always viewer hook attempts there won't be anything of sort later I reckon
>>280640994I don't know Japanese enough but I assumed she had a Forrest Gump diction going on along with the broken teef voice.
Do wooden barrels really sink in water?
>>280641442Only if there's a gorilla woman inside
>>280641442If they're completely full of water, yes.
>>280640994she probably just is retarded from being a bandit rape baby raised without proper nutrition and a loving nuclear family
>>280634913where can i read the fan translated manga?
That baby is going to grow up to be a very interesting person.
>>280640947Do you know what's boring?
Meteor's show.
>>280621435>Why does it have to devolve into a generic shonenshit?That's what every series devolves into if there's any mention of fighting in the first few episodes.
>A bunch of episodes creating a setting>Spam battles for the next 300
>>280622621She trained her whole life for that moment
>>280621594Is this SHAFT?
>>280641867She trained to swallow but not to be swallowed. A surprisingly common rookie mistake.
>>280620945 (OP)PICKED THE FUCK UP
>>280621435>There's barely any rape and gore anymore after the first 10 chaptersnevermind...
>>280637625>most of it isn't translatedBased manga filtering EOPs. If it's worth reading, it's worth reading in Japanese
>>280642188Don't have to be Japanese to be able to read it
>>280642237But you really really want to be, I can tell it makes you seethe deep down that you'll always be an outsider and never truly accepted davidsan.
>>280622621Clen should give her a sword, her endurance is fucking crazy
>>280640947Yep, it's the standard Warcraft/Tolkien deconstruction setting
>>280626746streaming looks exactly the same, its not 2010 anymore
>>280626845>>280642467Downloading is just getting the ripped stream service. But the real reason to download is better control via the media player and permanent rewatchability.
>>280636412I would pump my vitality into her dead body until it came back to life
>>280642467I don't know about legal streaming but pirated streaming has sources with horrendous bitrate and even when you pick 1080p it is noticeably worse than downloaded.
>>280643922legal streaming throttles you to 480p if you're not watching on a telescreen even though you're paying for 4K
>>280633729I don't think /a/ really claimed Frieren was the best thing ever.
>>280643218If I loved a show to the point I'd want to rewatch it, I'd buy the fucking BD. On the rare occasion I do torrent, I immediately delete the video because I don't need shit I already watched gunking up my computer.
>>280622545Why does a bandit group need babies? Just kidnap children that can already walk.
>>280640947They unironically got too cocky. If your current heroes can't even beat a fish, the king had no business feeding them to Clevatess.
>>280621594>loses her lipstick after resurrection
>>280645608While she does look great dolled up, why was she going into battle with makeup on, anyways? She didn't seem to like it when the others were commenting on her femininity, or the little bit of flirting Steffan tried on her.
>starts edgy with rape, death and gore
>devolves into typical shonen slop
what the fuck? this is a fucking bait
why is everybody suddenly doing nonchalant shit WITH THEIR ENEMY?
>>280646251good morning lmao
>>280646113She wanted big wet kisses from Clevatess (beast form).
>>280646113>SteffanI read it as her being a bit tsun. Didn't go anywhere, since they only knew each other for a couple of hours at best.
>>280646113>While she does look great dolled up, why was she going into battle with makeup on, anyways?woman moment
>Clefatass can shadowrealm teleport anybody at distance while still being in human form
ah yes of course, that would've been very useful useful 19 chapters earlier
no one's gonna mention how great the ED is?
>>280645608She uses makeup whenever she can get it. It's not "permanent" like other anime, where girls will still have lipstick on no matter how scuffed they are from dungeon/wilderness trekking.
>>280646113She likes looking pretty.
>>280622827I appreciate that they bothered to draw about 50 different-looking men, some of whom actually move
>>280647062>ellie gouldingnot for me chief
the op is pretty nice though
>>280623995Yeah, I kinda saw the 'use the bandits as bait' coming, but not the rest. Like - hope they all gather in once place and jump in somewhere else and pray? Hope the ankle hobbles weigh you down faster than the beasts expect? So the barrel was a cool thought.
>>280624060This show is pretty consistent with 'red circle things = evil haha
>>280629410I miss this apocalypse waiting to happen.
>>280624060Cool. Can't wait to see that thing move.
what the fuck is even happening by chapter 23?
is this even the same story?
>>280622885Kinda miserable that her ultimate reward for all the shit she has to go through is nothing since she's already dead.
I hope some other character figures out she's an undead. Her dancing around the subject when she runs into the queen was sad.
>>280648192That was a bit of a retard moment from Clevatess but what's the confusion about the rest?
>>280642294I don't really disagree, but I think Tolkien already wrote a pretty bleak, dark setting. We get to see a few rare protected areas of it prominently so it doesn't always seem so, but the large victory the heroes achieve in it was a rare anomaly after basically slowly, gradually losing to evil for literally thousands of years, until almost all the beautiful and heroic things of the world were crushed, dominated, or corrupted. Even the heroes we do see are generally small shadows of their defeated predecessors.
>>280624227Nta but I hate that the baby's a boy
>>280636656So there's nothing special about them they're just big salamanders? Not trying to undersell them since crocs are as scary as they are for a reason, but if anything it makes me question the heroes. Knowing where they live and how they hunt, who in their right mind would try to fight them head on? Specially wearing fucking metal armor. Not trying to lure them into land one by one? Not trying to fill the lake with stones to force them into a smaller movement range? Not using bait to catch them by surprise while they feed?
>>280648286No he was full retard mode since the very start
>just take care of this baby>ok>enters the furnace>i'm done lmao>no but look at da baby>okwtf is this childish philosophical trash tier grey view? a lot of things just happen because
the abilities and powerscaling are so random
Dorel is also a full retard and I can't stop thinking about Baran, the whole fight and design makes me think even more of a Baran (dragon quest)
what about the insect guy? just got knocked off?
the magnet girl? flew away?
this hero nonsense is so trash that throwing "fake" hero memes makes it even worse, this isn't Emiya
where the fuck are the stacks and consequences? the whole capital was burned in 1 minute but then nobody dies except nameless characters, and even then, lmao?
this had to be a oneshot
i refuse to believe anything was planned
Is this pool bit what Jet planned back in Season 3?
Funny that they reversed roles.
>Jet
Fill up pool with bucket
>Spictank
Empty pool with cups.
>>280648527The previous hero fought them on land and lose.
>>280639938Humanity is a lategame civ. Gotta get the tech levels up to compensate for physical weakness.
>>280648925Damn. If the legendary hero lost to a bunch of fat lizard whales what made the king think his 13 regular heroes could ever defeat clevatess?
>>280649797we never got to see the ability of the 12 dead heroes tho, some of them can use magic, the legendary hero lost because he got jumped on, even Dorel said there's a chance he'd lose a 1v2 even if he dominated one of his oppontents already.
but then Zazak shows up as a big muscle head who can somehow go 1v2 with their treasures.
Why did Clevatess not cure her boneitis?
>>280646113you know you can get dolled up for yourself right? not thinking about others
>>280650592yeah, you "can", hypothetically
>>280650592Yeah, but it's kinda stupid for combat. Like I wouldn't be wearing cologne or bling if I expected to actually be in a scrap. It was just kind of funny, since she doesn't look like the type who'd wear obvious makeup to begin with.
>>280621565Cuz this is thriller!

>>280645608>>280646113I don't think it's meant to be lipstick.
The pink is her natural lip colour, and she has lost vitality and colour after dieing.
>>280651847It's lipstick. She wears in certain scenes in the manga later on.
>>280622015Does he heal her brain damage?
>>280652589God I hope not.
This arc really doesn't have any stakes, Clevatess is just being a real bitch about using his godlike powers.
>>280652636>This arcThis plot*, that's the real curse of having an almost omnipotent MC. It would have been better if it only followed an unkillable Alicia. Her gimmick is more grounded and more than enough to carry a story.
>>280652899He's not the MC tho
>>280653023Could've fucking fooled me. Maybe we should focus on the real MC instead of the super wolf.
>>280652636Retardbro. The premise is convincing clevatess to not genocide humanity. The stakes are as high as they get.
>>280621776>The author resolves and wraps up the story with a decent pace instead of dragging it out foreverWait, what?
>then starts a sequel storyWait, what??
>>280653655Anon is using words he doesn't know. There is no sequel. It's all one overarching story that can be divided into arcs.
>>280653573Are they? Are they really?
>>280653796They're as real as any other show you think has "real" stakes.
>>280652636Isn't he just one apocalypse dog? There are three others. Maybe they fight because he starts simping for babies.
>>280653796lmao they're not, the other divine kings have their agenda and proxy war to fight, Clevatess cannot go killing all humanity without the others responding
also apparently that new homanoid brute race just popped into existence, so I think even if all of them die we can just get new races and move on.
the school arc will be garbage, it's a 2 years slog with 100% timeskip, and you know what happens with timeskips
>>280653819this
you may have gotten confused over the years by moeshit for creepy 30 year old otaku being called seinen, but in any other genre seinen is squarely targeted at 17 year olds
I dropped this on the first episode because it felt like Alicia was going to go on a quirky adventure/shack up with the demon that just massacred thousands of humans. Was I wrong? I don't fuck with demonscum apologist anime.
>>280654650>demonscum apologist animethis sounds like a schizo catchphrase
>>280654650she doesn't have a choice, clevatess is forcing her to do it even abusing her of doing things for him, it's not really quirky with how obvious it is that clevatess don't give a shit neither does the othetr devil kings
>>280627980Came here for this
>>280654517> new homanoid brute race just popped into existenceWhich species are you talking about
>>280654517>Clevatess cannot go killing all humanity without the others respondingAnd doing what? He'll just stomp them too. Established first episode. The only reason humanity isn't gone is his dumb experiment.
>>280654672I fucking hate Clevatess and I already know he won't get his comeuppance for what he's done because it seemed like they were trying to redeem him with the child. Fuck demon scum and fuck the first episode.
>>280654661Just Frierenfags being annoying as usual
>>280654650He literally mindrapes her whenever she tries to disobey him
>>280654702>It seemed like they were trying to redeem him with the child.This never happens?
>>280653819What a nonanswer. So it doesn't have stakes is what you're saying? Have you tried not being a pretentious twat? More people might listen to you.
>>280654710Awesome, so it's just torture porn where the central focus is some shitty demon that killed thousands of humans torturing another human.
>>280654722Did you not watch the first episode, fucktard?
>>280654517The manga sounds like a disaster
>>280654735Do you know what trying to redeem a character is supposed to be?
>>280654824Obviously I do. He took the child to raise and get a better understanding of humanity so they're obviously trying to redeem his character in some form. I don't believe in redemption for shitty demon/psycho characters like that and anyone that does is a fucking liberal.
>>280654702He did literally nothing wrong though. He was just chilling on his mountain when heroes came, killed a bunch of his bros and assaulted him. Pure self defence.
And the king only sent them because he's a bot controlled by a magical book.
>>280654869>killed a bunch of his brosIs this real or shitposting? We've seen zero sign of affection or solidarity between the dark beasts other than not actively eating each other.
>>280654904They have clear hierarchy. Another beast lord also considers genociding humanity after she learns that they've been stealing young beasts from her subjects.
>>280654869I don't give a fuck if they assaulted him why the fuck would anyone want to watch some evil indifferent demon massacre thousands of humans and feel bad for it? Fuck that, there needs to be a hero that slays it.
>>280654843just another tryhard zoomer groyper who doesn't hold any actual conservative views

>>280654685pic related
>>280654695Stomp who?
Clevatess is one of four devil beast king, not THE devil beast king
the others have their own abilities and strength too, they all have demon blood immortality and Clevatess only really fought against their servants.
it looks bad for humanity to be cornered on all side but a devil beast king cannot go on a global rampage without the others protecting their territories. it would've been different if the four are in alliance or serve a bigger devil, but they're not.
>>280655063Disgaea lookin ahh units
>>280655063The Bent are literally on chapter 2 anon
>>280655016I'll admit it's kind of fucked that they're going the sympathy route with him taking care of cute little uguu gaga baby when there's not a chance he avoided turning thousands of babies into paste while destroying that kingdom.
>>280655016He's not evil, he's indifferent.
And they're not even humans, only some chipmunk elf looking motherfuckers.
You raise an interesting question.
It's clear that the "demons" in this series are more like animals and the kings are more like walking natural disasters. So applying morality is strange, like applying morality to an earthquake or alternatively to predator that kills to survive. If anything the dwarf race misread the power of clevatess and perished because they launched a premature expedition. The show is a lot more like
>reality is warped and bad things happen no matter what you think, feel or do
>>280655144what its there
>>280655016>why the fuck would anyone want to watch some evil Indifferent demon massacre thousands of humansdon't worry, that only happens in the first chapters, now he can heal, revive and teleport people with his shadows to safety. The stacks are fucking gone.
>>280655185you are stacking some faggot ernegy anon
>>280655140Yup, the humanoid races are basically trapped in a small territory and demon kings just chill in their territories and act as natural walls that lock them out of venturing outside of it probably because they were programmed to do so by the previous civilization..
>>280655016>why the fuck would anyone want to watch some evil indifferent demon massacre thousands of humans and feel bad for it?It's Japanese, a case of pagan (Japanese) vs Abrahamic (western) mindset.
>in most pagan religions humans are just another creature somewhere on the low end of the scale that rarely has a special place in the universe often subservient to gods and other magical beings>in Abrahamic religions humans are a unique creation in the image of the capital G God himself and the only created being bestowed with free will around which the entire physical (and a large part of the non-physical) world revolves around (the entirety of existence was made for us to exert dominion over)You see this difference in mindset a lot, though Japan was (until recently) the only properly pagan country putting out a meaningful amount of media.
>>280655224explain the countless number of isekai released every year then. reincarnation is definitely not pagan
>>280655264>reincarnation is definitely not paganAnon...
>>280655264>reincarnation is definitely not paganbuddhism isn't considered pagan?
>>280655291>>280655282buddhism is not pagan.
>>280655304>Buddhism acknowledges various deities (devas), these are not considered creators or all-powerful beings in the way they are in some other religions. Literally polytheistic paganism.
>>280654724You've failed to argue why it doesn't have stakes in the first place retardbro. The show explained why clavatess isn't just fucking everyone up, you're just ignoring it like a toddler. MC can also die. Clevates isn't going to go out of his way to save her ass if she gets torn to pieces by lake monsters for example. The stakes are there, you're just a too low IQ realize it.
>>280655264>reincarnation is definitely not paganThe two biggest pagan religions by far are centred around reincarnation.
As far as isekai goes it's just standard wish fulfilment, it's not like humans don't have the same impulses just because they grew up in a pagan society. If anything I would argue this lack (or at least lessened concept of) of humans being special makes the need for something like an isekai where you ARE the special chosen one stronger.
>>280655304Pagan was literally coined as a term to describe non-Abrahamic religions.
>>280655332>>280655339You're wrong. Do not reply to me ever again.
>>280655335There are no stakes when the MC is some demon with god powers and can't be touched. There are stakes for humanity but not for the main character. He can not be killed and breezes through the story like it's nothing.
>>280655400But he keeps jobbing for fun
This is unironically the cutest female character design I have seen in 2025 so far. I wish girls that didn't look like soulless super models were more common.
the only good anime this season is the water magician.
>>280655446>I wish girls that didn't look like soulless super models were more common.Shame she turns into one.
Speaking of which, if Clevatess can do all that biological manipulation shit and rebuild Nell as a generic anime girl that lactates why doesn't he just do it with Alicia in the first place? The whole point of bandit arc is he needed a milker.
>>280655153I didn't say The Bent popped up mid chapter
I said they're new as a race in lore, for a world that only has 1000 years of knowledge maximum (for most beings).
Ancient real humans are "gone" but new races keep popping out after the fact, and the Bent are the new ones in an already short span.
Something tells me that the devil kings are the ones making new humans, since we've seen Clevatess grafting beasts and humans and changing the appearance of them with blood magic.
>>280655446thankfully clevatess fix this creature into looking cute
>>280655478Because of plot convenience.
>>280655400Clevatess isn't the main character retardbro.
>>280655597lol, lmao even
>>280655016Enough with the moralfagging, seriously.
>>280620945 (OP)WAIT HOLY SHIT, THE AUTHOR OF THIS SERIES IS THE ONE THAT DID "DARKER THAN BLACK"????!!!
WOW I have not seen that SERIES mentioned for an entire decade, im surprised no one ever mentioned that when recommending this, definitely checking that out now
>>280655597You're an actual retard if you think the title character whose all over the intro and has been front and center in all three episodes isn't the MC
>>280620945 (OP)also i've seen the synopsis and some reviews, isn't this basically like ishura? except we seen the perspective of the demon king as well?
>>280655494Wasn't just clevatess that didn't meet human in 1,000 years? we don't really have a real timing for when the species first showed up , especially since this is a more isolated place with a larger world, they could've just been people coming from outside too
>>280655701>isn't this basically like ishura?Not even close unfortunately. If you want another Ishura, watch To Be Hero X instead. Ishura's built on worldbuilding. Worldbuilding is awful in Clevatess.
Is it good anons? Worth watching?
>>280655861Started off a lot better than it's been going, but considering the rest of the season? Sure, why not, still a lot better than the seasonal isekaislop or shonenshit that most of the board eats up.
>>280655677bro the series was dead with more than 10 months between translations
>>280655678Title and marketing does not a main character make. Naturally a retard that knows nothing about storytelling and can only spam "critique checklist buzzwords" wouldn't now that.

>>280655478Nell lactates to begin with
>>280656801Point is, why does it matter if he can do some magic dog gene editing? He could take a random dark beast and give it human milkers if he wanted.
>>280655861It started really strong but it's already feeling kinda meh.
>>280657045You're right you should tell him this before it's too late and he wastes his time reviving Nell.
>>280657045He might not be that knowledgeable about human milkers in the first place. Plus, now that he has a zombie woman slave around to guide him through the lands of the people, he might as well take the opportunity to learn if they're worth killing or not.
>>280620945 (OP)who wrote this nu-witchblade comic levels of shit?
>>280622289His rivals would probably be able to easily put two-and-two together.
>>280622654Clevatess will never get a good dad mug at this rate.
>>280636656They look adorable until they open their mouths.
>>280640144Berserk has the Godhand and the IOE, who I'd say are worse because they're generally pure fucking evil and want you to suffer, on top of the fact you literally have no means of knowing they exist unless they intentionally reveal themselves to you as part of some scheme. Up until Hiden antagonzied him, Clevatess didn't give enough of a shit to want humanity dead.
>>280646836>Clevatess>giving a shit about convenience or what humans think is "useful"
>>280649797Arrogance. He believed mankind had advanced enough to take on and wipe out the "stupid" devil beasts because they were obviously inferior to humanity by nature. Keep in mind that he had never even SEEN Clevatess, so he was sending the heroes into a battle based only on his own gut feeling and bias.
>>280654517>the other divine kings have their agenda and proxy war to fight, Clevatess cannot go killing all humanity without the others respondingAt least one of them is also onboard for human genocide, just not right now. And the other one is playing Civilization; Psycho Murder Proxy Mode.
>>280655478Clevatess does not have the understanding of humanity necessary for that - Nell already lactates (because she's been pregnant before) and all he did was simply fix her body. Clev does NOT do this for Alicia because she tried to kill him and she doesn't need all her scars fixed to serve him.
>>280656096glorious, i know what you're doing, we need to sing this
>>28063146450 bandits against her.
Imagine that.
>>280659527are you retarded? he left Luna with a dying ball of vomit just so they can get captured by that bandit to use them as hostage later, when he can shadowrealm them to safety anytime?
his reason for not using his full power was to prevent the small cave from collapsing, and again, he can use that shadow ability in human form.
Clevatess a shit
>>280659639>At least one of them is also onboard for human genocide, just not right nowthat was dishonest writing, it was explained that the reason was the children of beasts getting kidnapped. Her servant investigated and 100% knows the real reason. It's an all out proxy war between the beast kings with humans caught in it.
>>280620945 (OP)Clevatess? More like Cle-based. You want to know what sold it to me? Not the beast, not the hero, not the baby. It was Nel. so i need her to live
Actually the whole thing is pretty damn good. I was totally sure it was going to be like that Ubel Blatt thing. Glad i was wrong.
There's nothing exceptional about her design or character, but she's still really attractive and I can't figure out why.
>>280621435God damnit, another school academy setting?
>>280662973She's the kind of dignified lady that would look at you with contempt, but in a situation that put her on an humiliating position, that's hot.

>>280630587>when the poop does nto want to come out
>>280662973Honorable lady knights get a bad rap because they're usually the main heroine pair to a boring isekai MC. Throw them with an MC who contrasts them properly, and situations that take them out of their comfort zones, and they're great.
>>280646113power in the middle ages was performative, the appearance of the person played a big role.

>>280664787Lady knights are underappreciated.
>>280664664>>280663684She keeps her longish hair in the webtoon. Something else to note is that the anime nerfed her boob size. In the manga and webtoon, she has huge tits.
