I'm so worried that this adaptation is gonna be terrible, but the light novels are fantastic.

I used them a lot but I don't get them much anymore. Used to get them once every 2 weeks, now it's once every few months.

I'm still surprised every time I go into a Subway and the footlongs don't cost $5. Now they cost $12.

Wait, so you watched the first half of episode one, then the very end of the final episode of season 1 and you're judging the show based off that? Wow. Firstly, that's a terrible way to watch shows. You have no idea what it's even about and you're calling it disgusting and wondering why people like it.

The entire concept of the show is that the main character is completely unhinged and totally believes in his 8th grade delusions, then dies and gets sent to another world where all of his delusions keep actually happening, but now he thinks his "friends" are just really cool and playing along with him. He's massively overpowered and that's explained in all of the content that you didn't watch.

The main character has absolutely zero interest in romance. He may have a bunch of girls vying for him, but I don't consider this a harem anime. All he cares about is living out all his OP character fantasies.

The first episode is played 100% straight, and the last episode is a big final fight wrapping up this entire plot that he's gotten himself tangled in. But he's literally just toying with the two women he's fighting, they aren't anywhere near his level. Anyone who actually watched the show understands that. You picked two of the most serious moments of the show to watch and are wondering why it's not funny.

I'm not saying you have to like it, but not watching a show but then calling it out for being "discusting" is a weird thing to do.

I enjoyed season 1 of this. It wasn't amazing, but it was fun. Happy to have a season 2.

Well it's a little complicated. Tolkien wrote it as one novel, which contained 6 books + appendices. But the publisher didn't want to publish a 1200 page (iirc) book, so they made him divide it into 3 volumes, each containing 2 books, and then they titled them to be what we know them as.

Fun fact, the only title he wasn't happy with was The Return of the King, because it gave away what happens in the book.

I'm partial to The Two Towers because Helms Deep is amazing and it blew my 9 year old mind when I saw it in theaters. But they're all fantastic movies.

Oh I know, I'm talking about the same thing. It usually happens to me when I'm sitting in my simracing rig which is next to my PC and a window. I'll be worried thinking my GPU or wheelbase has started burning when in reality it's an overheated car radiator or something right out my window.

 

Watch on Crunchyroll

Shinobu bot doesn't seem to be working, so I'll just post this one myself.

 

Metacritic is sitting at 87 for PC and PS, 79 for Xbox (due to only having 8 reviews on the platform, the two mixed reviews are bringing down the score more than on other platforms).

 

Can't wait for 3pm tomorrow.

 

I love it
