How to be over-powered in any game? Play a lot of sh*t games with hella bugs!

This slaps, but then again, a lot of first episodes do. I hope this quality carries on for the rest of the season.

This one i had anticipated since i really liked C2C's latest Handyman Saitou and this looks like it will rival or even surpass the quality of that show, strong animation and artstyle and a VRMMO seemingly played completely straight without noticeable gimmicks, i expect great things.

Yes. It was worth it waiting for the dub. Just saw episode 1 and I just say, this show has some real potential. it's definitely gonna be a shōnen series that'll rock the anime world. The mc Rakuro is a lot like me actually. Hardcore gamer, haha. I loved this. Can't wait to see more dub episodes.

The truth is that my past self is reflected a little in Rakuro, when I was younger I also dedicated myself to searching Steam for the most disastrous games possible and I set the goal of trying to play them in speed-run mode, good times those were. On the other hand, you can see the love they are going to give to this anime, from the first minute I saw the animation that was brought I realized that it was going to be an enjoyment, plus AMD appears in the credits so I doubt that there will be a lack of budget. See you next week to continue trying hard with Sunraku :)
PS: What a great op that loads, straight to the playlist.

BADASS EPISODE OPENING AND ALL.

UBERCHAD MC finally.



Nothing needs to be said, cgi is epic. Also armoured person is probably schoolgirl. Alphonse Elric can suck it.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

The animation is so smooth and fluid; just as Sunrako is steeped with "trash games" and has gone to a god tier it feels the same with the animation style. Hope they keep it up

I honestly don't think I could ever understand why anyone would play something they hate but that's just me.

The art and animation for this show look fantastic so far and the game seems like a lot of fun. The ridiculous bird mask is funny.

suggested by one of my two best friends and has italian dub, so i gave it a chance even if i'm into this genre of videogames. Decent start but seriously, i seriously don't like the customization choices of the character. The after credits scene can become amusing though.

Seeing bad game design and generic world building being praised multiple times by the MC as god tier game is so damn annoying.

Can't say that I'm a gamer of his level, but as a fellow trash diver I can understand his passion for trash. It's respectable, especially with how he sells it. The fact the game has you in a short wrestler-esque outfit feels like the devs wanted to have MCs absolutely suffer. And the way he describes Faeria, I wouldn't want her anywhere near my team. She'd be better off with the Konosuba crew.

Skipping the intro of the game XD classic gamer move. Dude does have the heart of a gamer, min-maxing and going with that flow. Also, GG get wrecked goblin. He dual wields his blades and just deletes em.

F the starter town when you can spend hours grinding trash mobs and move right along. You do have to wonder if there would be story ramifications for skipping the starter town, but hey. A life of trash prepares you for plenty of challenges. The guy's smile as he plays is beautiful.

It's interesting how Shangri-la maintains a very strong score of ~8. I'll see how it all holds up.

Woah c2c doing great after all the year they skip, eh? Such a clear visual and good sound direction like this premiere, really hook right off the bat already, holy shit. Not to mention oped also doing great and living up into my ears instantly.

Not gonna worry about the plot of the story so far. Simply liking every scene is enough to fill up my quota for this fall season. Shangfro unexpectedly doing beyond my initial impression, which is actually not so surprising, if you know what i mean. But still, this is just too good, did not see this coming...

Oh anyway. Talking about fall. Now i just need to start Frieren too, and then fall season batching is complete.

okay so I can't be the only one who was expecting more of this? I had heard some hype around the manga for a long time, thought it looked kind of cool, so I said as much and stuck it on with the girl I'm seeing with hopes to be our new series to watch together. At the end of this ep we both felt it was super mundane and uninteresting, I felt almost embarrassed to have said I know about it and it must be good from what I've heard.

Is this an issue of a bad adaptation, or what? Some of the responses here don't seem as negative as our reaction was to it, but I see some complaints about the anime in general with regards to pacing.

I'll stick with the series myself for a bit longer at least (doubt we will continue to watch together and will instead look for something else we both enjoy). Hopefully it gets better a bit further in, but definitely colour me surprisingly disappointed with this going off the first ep.

I love the idea of someone who basically no-lifed shitty games experiencing a high quality game and bring the skills he learned from the other games. I have not seen a story that is like this so I hope to see how this goes.

I wasn’t gonna watch this until a single scenes with Kotomine kirei/Nakata Jouji as a little girl

Not sure what to expect given the fact that im not familiar with C2C and they haven’t made any notable works so far
Vr fantasy is a genre I don’t really like personally as well
I’ll watch it for that singular scene

I don't know anything about this anime, but it looks like an okay start. I was expecting some hilarious "Full Dive" anime shenanigans where he messed up big time when he skipped the prologue and sold all his armor, but that never happened. So it looks like the first episode is only about setting up the world. I guess they're trying to get the MC out of being a noob because he sure seems to be leveling way too quickly.

IDK, the MC and the show is coming off pretty bland so far. I did enjoy the frustrating blonde in the trash game just screwing everything up, that was the most entertaining thing so far, so it's kind of waste if that's done since nothing really much is happening with the MC and his new game. It's still early though, okay start, but not a great start.

So he likes trash games huh? But these "trash" games he plays are trash cause of everything except for technical shit like how the game performs based on your rig, in that case I'd like him to try Immortals of Aveum, another shit game by EA. Fucking thing stutters every second it's literally unplayable. And all that at the lowest fucking setting.

Anyway, great first episode.

Just another Isekai thing with overpowered mc and a loud voice again and of course harem things again after a few episodes, too monotone to be excited to watch and his fashion* taste is very weird, watching this just to spend time waiting another anime finished airing
