I think the implications of it scratching the dragon god versus it obliterating Badidadi could say some thing especially being that Badidadi was interested in the attack that could scratch the Dragon god
Well, more like shocked than just interested but yea
I wonder. Considering how much longer rudeus has to charge, the fact rudeus was 100% health and not under stress. That makes a huge difference. Not to mention that rudeus could well have improved his skill
@@gtafan110010he didnt have his staff with orsted and he didnt have much time to charge it either
@@JoeVahnsfrom what I've read i think the stone cannon that rudeus used against badigadi is emperor rank in firepower and considering that it takes at least king rank technique or attack to damage orsted the rank of the stone cannon that rudeus used againts orsted must be between saint and king rank
Yup, this new stone canon was WAY more powerful than the one he use on Orsted. The dude had his staff and all the time in the world to charge it and he is +2 years older lol@@JoeVahns
the whole fight with badigadi felt strangely calm. a literal demon king comes, the students casually attacked him and casually stood around and watched rudeus fight him with icy uncaring eyes. it was super strange. like it should be a much bigger deal. it bothered me a lot when i first saw this episode.
Its probably because pretty much none of them understand its badigadi or they just dont understand the powerscaling of their own verse. They have no clue whats happening they just know hes pretty strong.
it is stated they keep mostly to themselves so it's not suprising that most wouldn't know of their actual power
It felt a little insane, like the budget totally ran out or something. I thought I was just being too harsh on it though.
It's reflective of how Rudy feels. Rudy has only ever been around strong people for most of his life so his perception is skewed.
Think of it, his Frames for reference are Paul, Roxy. Ghislaine, Eris, Ruijerd, Sylphy. These are all EXCEPTIONAL people. He doesn't realize he's EXTREMELY powerful, he doesn't realize BadiGadi is like fighting an end boss. When they spent two years in the demon continent he was up against some of the harshest environments and creatures possible at a really young age.
This reflects in the LN where he compares things to the demon continent and wonders "are things stronger there I wonder".
This scene in the LN wasn't much different, some details and BAM done, because we're in the "no self confidence" arc.
Yeah, I remember more than a few lines where he says something to the effect of "wait Paul might be like really strong?!" about Ghislaine and etc. But it's more fun when we and the world know just how insane his fight with Badigadi is, the anticipation to the fight and the anticlimax of him being blown away was a really cool moment. Honestly I was looking really hard to see Badigadi blown into little pieces but it looked to me that he was just shown being blown back and losing his arms lol@@stealthbrawler
I enjoyed the episode as is but hearing about all this cut content I feel like it would have enhanced it. Even if they showed just how scared/interested Badi was when hearing about Orsted, and maybe even including the stuff about Badi's journey leading to meeting Rudy in an OVA would be nice
Exactly my thoughts
Knowing how whole country was on alert would gave waaay much importance and tension to the fight but im mainy annoyed by exchange about Orsted. It would literally add like 10s to the episode but would greatly change whole scene and finally we would get another Rudeus is OP moment as seasons 2 kinda sucks in this regard
I think showing the chaos around the duel would have added to the flavor. As it is, it felt like this was just an extra-special appearance. Seeing panicked people running around everywhere, hearing reinforcements are coming, people trying to stop Fitz to delay things, that would have added a lot.
I hope they make it into an OVA because there's no way they could fit all that into a 20min video
Honestly I would love to see this cut content as an OVA
I was looking forward to this duel and the build up for it. Disappointed when they cut just how intense he got when he heard Orsted.
The moment I saw this guy on screen and his mannerism, I knew for a fact, that he must be in some way associated with Kishirika, because they both gave off those similar genki vibes.
I predicted they were going to use Veldora's (Tensura) VA, but I was wrong.
They are both so incredible chill! I want so bad to see how they act when they meet.
So, these two finally meet after Kishirika's rebirth, she goes on to ramble about Rudeus and Badigadi just... sets off to find the guy immediately. I figured it given how Kishirika went "Ah, sorry, I can't do you, I just remembered! I am kinda married already!", but the relationship between Queen and King here seems to be quite the interesting one.
I'm so sad the studio cut out Rudeus asking Sylphie what she thought of his staff in this episode. She says "It's so big..." and Rudeus says he felt a twinge of something downstairs. IT WOULD HAVE ONLY TAKEN LIKE 5 SECONDS
NOOO WAY! THAT WOULD'VE LED WELL INTO THE FUTURE CHAPTERS
While I agree with you on that I also feel like all the cut content makes Rudeus way more perverted than he actually is in LN (and I love this part of his character but I don't want them to overdo it in the anime). What you guys think? Or is it just me?
No offence, but all the love plot lines between children are the worst parts of the show. And this season has been especially bad for it. Every episode. Sometimes entire episodes.
@@swearimnotarobot3746Damn, must suck for your bro, constantly seeing them as children without being able to chill out and appreciate the story and their character.
@@Fiufsciakman didn't learn on history lessons what happened in the past irl where *literal* children were sold off as wives..
I like how Bagigadi apperantly managed to finally meet with his wife after her rebirth, she told him how amazing that one human kid was she met and he immediately wanted to meet the guy.
Honestly, I need insight on the relationship between Kishirika Kishirisu and Badigadi, because they seem to just be chill af.
That's actually huge cut content and would've been awesome to see!
Just read LN 23 then , theres whole chapter badi telling story of how he battle laplace
Im not gonna spoil it here unless some people wanted it
@@strikerz55spoil me
I mean, when you literally have all of eternity to be together, why wouldn't you be chill about it?
i want the story of kishirika'se journey in the demon continent.. she's an interesting character and i wanna know her story in every city in demon continent before & after meet rudeus
I definitely felt it was rushed, but not in a bad way. They kept the POV for the viewer and Rudy the same, and it works well with the way they've been doing the storytelling.
Yeah that’s a great point, this whole anime has taken a different approach from the novels wherein it centers on Rudi like a first person book or something. There really hasn’t been much outside of him as a focal point so it would be odd for them to do too much context that he wouldn’t be aware of.
And yet, the biggest POV change was knowing Fitz identity from the beginning 😢
While a good point, that means rhey should've kept the most horniest joke I've probably heard in my life
Him asking Fitz how his Staff is and Fitz saying it's so Long..m
@@TinchoFigue You are totally right, but I feel like it would have been figured out quite easily, so I am not that mad about it.
I only half agree, I think removing interaction about orsted was a tad too far. it's maybe like 3 more seconds that would have really improved on things. also a couple of seconds to show how stressed everyone was about badigadi being there and it would have been perfect.
I was really sad to see so much left out of this latest episode, I thought they were speeding through everything to give the Badigadi fight more time to shine but it ended up being super bare bones compared to the LN. If I recall, Rudeus's stone canon shot was meant to blow Badigadi to pieces which would have been awesome.
Oh, also how terrified Nations were of Badigadi crossing through their territory made the fight mean something rather than just calling himself a demon king like every other show. Missing that context made it feel really flat to me.
Thanks for weighing in, I actually just read the entire light novel series about a week ago and thought that it had severely effected my enjoyment of the anime or something. I actually went back and watched the first season just to make sure and I still enjoyed it 100% so I think it's just got to be the budget constraints in this latest one.@@s3a.w
I remember it differently.... like it saying that the upper portion of badi's body was just gone with was shown in the anime so I don't there's a problem there....
They crammed so much into it, I would have loved it if the episode had been 60 minutes long instead of 24. But I'll take what I can get 🙂
Sadly, even by making simple slice of life animation, it would take more than year to cram it in for an entire season. And we wouldn't want creative burnout for the animators.
This season really does feel rushed and it seems like they want to get to "that" as quick as possible. I had a feeling they would since while reading I felt like the conclusion was a long ways off but was optimistic that they'd take the long route. I'm still happy with what we're getting but I feel like this season is missing 2-3 more episodes worth of world building and content.
What I am disappointed about in this episode however is that they cut the conversation Badigadi and Rudy had about Orsted. It was just 2 more sentences and the change in duel would've made more sense. It's exclusion also confused some peoples interpretation of Orsted. I've seen some people come to the conclusion that Orsted leaves no survivors which just isn't the case
They better deliver on “that” if you know what I mean.
I assume they just figured the situation is self-explnaitory enough.
Rudeus went "I fought that Dragon God guy" and Badigadi went into the "Hit me as hard as you can"-challenge.
I did understand that he was essentially testing the strength of someone who fought the Dragon God which was probably good enough for the adaptation team.
I guess it does not need to be explained how much of a huge deal fighting a god would be.
Hello, I have not fully read your comment cause it might contain spoilers (Anime-only) but agreed. They crammed so much into this episode that I hope they deliver with whatever Turning Point is coming in the future. I am just hoping that the emotional beats that drove S1 will still drive S2 to a really good conclusion/story.
The rushing of some content in S2 is a concern but it hasn't been so bad that I would abandon. It's still pretty great overall. Hence, I am hoping it will all be good in the end.
agree 100% on the orsted discussion . it would have take 15 seconds
@@EmmanQuinones5234 there isn't any spoiler that wasn't in the video. Honestly, I feel like attaching Aninews videos when recommending it to friends is a must now
15:00
A cut content for Ani-news cut content:
Badigadi offered Ranoa university access to one of his arms to learn more about his immortality. Ranoa accepted.
It needed to be two episodes but as an anime-only, for what it was I thought they did a good job with the main points. Budget and resources are obviously a concern, to me there seem to be more still frames and less background/crowd animation than they had back in the first season.
The badigadi thing had a totally different vibe in the LN for sure. Also, the sword girl thing was funny to me as it really didn’t mention anything more than her appearance despite her whole reason for being there 😂
I think it really took away from the duel to not have Badigadi react more to the mention of Orsted... Even just a short exchange like "Did you injure him?" "Yes, barely." and then the one hit rule.
Aninews! It’s always fully appreciated how high quality, passionate and well researched your videos are!
Your content is always an instant watch! Thanks man!
Cant say i blame some people for being dissapointed with the battle between rudeus and badi since there was alot more in there rather than just the one spell. Rudeus being the best wingman ever though was nice and fitz being jealous of the girl is there too
Day 101 of asking for a grand assassin hassan servant review
pretty sure rudeus wanted him to be rejected, he's coping very hard and wants to bang elina but has ed.
@@HamguyBaconRudy wouldn’t have banged elinalise, he hasn’t shown much attraction to her. He was saying that because of her situation and didn’t want cliff to be suffering.
@@megaavonaco9954 BS, he tried to get hard multiple times when they were in bed and it wouldn't work, he's coping. you can tell he was shocked when they got together, he didn't actually want him to get with her.
The episode felt like rudeus POV, so it made sense that it felt oddly calm and slice of lifey to him
Would love to see OVAs exploring all these side stories of other characters though
Isn't the whole anime very Rudeus POV focused? Like, we get bits and pieces of other characters here and there, but only when it's needed for Rudeus encounters.
Season 1 had a Roxy bit, which introduced Elinalise so when she met Rudeus in S2 we already knew her.
Season 2 had Fitz/Sylphie moments, but that is so we understand why she is not revealing herself to Rudeus and don't get any wrong ideas about her situation.
@@GameBreaker1055 thats true yeah, maybe thats the direction they were going for all along
Ars x Aisha OVA. Imagine.
@@truck_0097 a video popped up in my recommended about aishas shenanigans but i didnt watch it because spoilers and now ive looked up who ars is, im just not going to ask
@@truck_0097 LOL
man i'm really liking how their adapting this it feels full of life in a way we don't see much anymore
I have noticed a decent drop in animation quality and a more "rushed" feeling to this season. I was surprised considering the time between seasons. I hope the studio isn't losing interest in it.
No, the studio is going to adapt the full thing. The time between seasons was very little actually, season 1 took them over 4 years to make and it was still hell to work on (director's quote). But the production committee (aka the investors) decided no more than 2 years between seasons.
There were many problems with production, at least half of them were not their fault.
@@nikm3rHoly shit. That's way more work than I'd ever imagine then
@@Fiufsciak it is a ton of work, anime is very difficult to produce, especially when you want to keep the quality high through the whole season.
Look forward to next EP, the PV and leaks look amazing and it's directed by the series director, so it should be really well done.
@@nikm3r Please cite a source i need to do my own research on this show it's very important to me.
If I'm not mistaken the studio was created for the sole purpose of adapting mushoku tensei so they literally can't loose interest
I think the full context would have added more depth to the episode and a level of understanding to the anime viewer of what the demon tribes were like and how amazing it was for Eris and Rudy to have survived the Demon Continent
What frustrates me the most in this chapter of the academy is the absence of teachers. There doesn't seem to be any dedicated educators or leaders present. I'm left wondering about Redus's activities during this period. There's no indication of training, mentorship, or any effort from the academy to guide him in learning something new. On the contrary, it appears he's simply idling away, not making any meaningful progress toward recovery, finding his mother, or becoming stronger. It's as if he's aimlessly passing time without any clear purpose or direction.
Rudeus is a special student, so he's more like a researcher than an actual student. I assume many of his classmates are the same
That perspective is the right one to have. Rudeus is not learning that much since he pretty knows everything the academy could teach. The only thing he doesn't know is the barrier and healing magic stuff, but he's soon gonna learn everything about that.
Luckily, this will be covered in future episodes (unless they skip some stuuff).
As an anime only, I really didn't find anything too rushed or out of place. A lot of the extra content is great for backstory and definitely paints a different tone for the confrontation with Badigadi, but it's nothing I personally think was critical. However, I do wish they included that extra dialogue about Rudeus injuring Orsted -- it makes the following battle proposal make more sense and also emphasizes a lot more clearly just how big a deal Orsted really is and how insane it is Rudy injured him at all
Yeah they did mention the fight, but the 'scratch' would be a key part to it. Would have rather had 1 badigadi laugh shortened to create the time for this.
I pretty much understood the whole beastfolk crisis as an anime only, but Badigadi was just random asf to me. We saw a glimpse of him at the end of the prior episode, but that was not enough context lol. Honestly even watching their fight, I didnt even notice he got obliterated with all the smoke in the way💀, I didnt feel like that was the tone they were trying to set. That entire encounter just seemed like it was supposed to be humorous, which I did think parts of it were funny. I dont think anything felt rushed though, but Badigadis placement there felt off to me, probably because I just had so many questions about him. Who is he, why is he there, how did a literal Demon King get inside their school, where did he come from? Etc. That part was a little weird, nothing else felt out of place though
Honestly I wished they kept the context of Badigadi wanted the strongest spell from Rudeus after hearing he injured Ostred. Other than that I'm satisfied with it.
I hate how they misimagined how budygudy reacted to information that Rudeus fought with dragon god and survived.
Budygudy is my new favorite way of spelling his name
Thanks!
Badidadi was a riot but rudy helping cliff and then her scoring elinalise was the highlight for me! Cliff is made different boys! Hearth for him❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
ehhh he's kind of stuck up, I don't particularly like him
@@Hierophant_Beansame. Also the fact that he made up stories about Eris’s remarks when Rudeus asked about her. He was jealous of Rudeus despite never meeting him in-person.
@@AnoranAlpenthornjealous and thought of himself as inferior to him. I wouldn't say that makes him necessarily bad tho he isn't a plain out aßshole for the most part and pretty much kept to himself
@@keithfields1756 I mean making up false stories knowing it would hurt someone’s feelings seems pretty bad to me
@@AnoranAlpenthorn what stories did he make up(I'm not denying it I'm just curious bc I'm an anime only)
The cut content was interesting, but yeah it would have been at least two episodes to cover it properly. I think the studio did a decent job with the abridged version and consequently it makes your videos quite invaluable to those of us who havn't read the LN but would like to know more about the world of Mushoku Tensei.
I recently started reading the light novel and I am grateful for Aninews for providing us with content like these. I may not need it anymore but thank you nonetheless.
this could have simply been two episodes but if it means that we get more content then I'm all for it
i am so happy to see that you are managing to get a sponsor for every video. I have been following you for a while now, i love your content i am really happy to see you succeed
Thank god I had watched this to remind myself who that blue-haired girl was. And on that note, I pray that we get a episode or two on Eris’ travels. Catching up with Eris and her training was an enjoyable read, I hope we can get an OVA at least.
I just read that extra chapter. Its so good! It perfectly explains "blue girl" and why she was there in the background I was so confused when I was anime only
You should make a new video comparing and seeing just how strong he is now and if he has learned anything at least by the light novels timeline maybe something that hasn't shown or explained love the videos and keep it up
i simply love your voice. ive seen how youve improved over the years and now you have your own style thats like art. i, with all respect, go to sleep to your videos sometimes just to have nice dreams. its like drinking cool spring water while sleeping.
i say all this to say thanks for doing you and what you do and continue to do well and i hope all is well with you as you make things well for me with your videos. Thank you Aninews, you make a difference.
Thanks for this video that add context for the anime only. ☺️ That's really much appreciated because a lot of people like this universe.
As I'm reading the 24th volume of the LN, it's hard to realize that this happened 16 VOLUMES AGO ! It doesn't feel like THAT MUCH happened since then.
Wuthering Waves was a game I had my eye on whenever I got sporadic news of it, but I didn't realize there was a pre-registration page, so thank you for accepting their sponsorship and I hope the partnership lasts a while!
I've been waiting for this. And it is over so fast! Hurry up and put out the other video! LOL I'm loving it
I feel sad they didn’t show enough of Badigadi being like a natural disaster
I love your cut content videos, I'm sure you put a lot of time and effort in these videos and it shows. Keep up the good work.
If they released a .5 version of the episode covering the cut content, I'd be really happy since it will provide a lot of behind the scenes things.
I really like these videos! It feels like I get a whole new episode of Mushoku Tensei. Love it @AniNews !
I just loved how excited about this all ordeal Badigadi was. I just love to see it ! I just find him coming to this school so weird !!!
Im a simple man. When animews updates my day is made better 😊😊😊😊😊😊
you know I read the light novel and am presently on volume 23... I still watch the full videos because the way you place the music and pacing is just so *chef's kiss* good. also I just love the way you narrate
This is the first time as a anime only that I felt things were rushed purely because we get a introduction to a very important character especially in lore and I personally think everything related to each of his moments should be fully adapted but overall I'm still happy
Mushoku does a great job of adapting content into the anime and I'll probably pick up the manga and get all the extra juicy details in the future
i do recommend reading the manga, especially because its still on the magic academy arc so if you start from the manga its not too much reading. the only problem is the long wait between chapters.
The manga is mixed in the sense that sometimes you get more info/context and other times it's less so I don't recommend it if you want extra details overall. For example journey with Sarah and the others was pretty much just brushed over and the anime actually went through it
Honestly I feel like this season has been lower jn quality than the previous ones
@@javianbrown8627 I do know that but I personally am not a fan whatsoever of light novels so I'll probably still stick to my og plan
@@unterhau1102 I've been rewatching season one recently and honestly can't tell the difference maybe because my first experience is just so different with the series though I'm enjoying it either way
Episode is always awesome but your cut content is a cherry on the top
..makes it complete ty mate 😎👍
Been waiting bro. Thanks for pumping them out!
I love your videos so much they are just such a nice refresher of what happend and I love listening to people get deep into the lore of series that I adore
You’re the one that I love to watch after coming home from work. As a break and relaxation for the week, along side Mushoku Tensei.
Keep up what you are doing! Thanks for your work!!
It was alright, we have you for all that they cutted, have a goodnight and thanks
I love season 1 animation more than this season. in season 1 it was astounding and also the fight scenes were breathtaking
I look forward to these videos as much as I look forward to a new MT ep each week.
About time!
This was honestly incredibly informative thank you
I’m looking forward to the discussion of Rudy’s second encounter with Nanahoshi.
I did not know all that stuff had happened. It felt on track with one episode. Basically, spring. I've not read the manga, so it's all new. Now I find a whole backdrop I've missed 😮
Always looking forward on your videos, its like a new episode to me
Wow I had no idea all this content was cut its so interesting and much needed but I understand why they didnt
If you are really interested read LN.
Thanks for making it easier to understand the episode. They should have made specials explaining Badidadi!
Badigadi in the student uniform sent me 😂
I love your videos and look forward to them every week. I'm very grateful for the content. But wish that the video came out closer to the episode airing.
i think they could have made a couple minute compilation of badigadi walking while fighting and accepting tributes and just perhaps some generals and politicians talking in the background discussing the crisis
Mahn they cut so much content I was so confused on episode 9. Thanks a lot U r the best. Explained well
As an anime only, I've been waiting for this video. Thanks man, you made my day. ❤
5:41 never new Rudy was a Drill Sergeant. that knife hand is on point
The genshin sounds in the background makes the video ultra good to hear! Love it!
Thanks enjoy a lot hope 2 part is quick make up look forward to it
gonna read the LN soon, i will say the missed stuff is set up in a way that adds mystery as opposed to being straight confusing. felt like bhadighadi was there for a reason to be revealed later on
YEssss, definitely was waiting for this upload, alil later than i expected it tuesday or wendsday but better late then never as they say.😊
This man is my saviour. 😭 He is the only one helping me understand everything...
You are the best mate! My days are always better with your videos lifting my spirits! Longtime fan! Your voice is really soothing and blends really well with the material! Your passion always puts a smile on my face! Always look forward to more of your amazing content! I’m so proud to be a member of this community! You're Truly awesome!
Btw kudos for the decision to separate the epsiode into 2 videos! it was the right one! this one was amazing and i can't wait to hear you talk about chad cliff next!
There's some context I remember from the LN. A old leyend says that once a demon lord was tricked by Hitogami into fight Orsted using a legendary magic armor that was so complex, that is said it had life on it's own. It was hinted that the demon lord who fought was Badigadi, basically telling us he actually faced orsted, and by seeing his reaction towards the capacity of Rudeus of hurting Orsted, probably he loses his match against the dragon god without being able to make a single scratch. So, knowing this, the one hit duel make much more sense now, aside from the intricate personality of this demon.
omg the new episode today was so good, I am hyped for your skipped content episode
Wow, two AniNews episodes worth of cut content from a single anime eposide, count me in XD!
I was waiting soooooo much for this ep. I loved reading this in the WN, and reading it in the mangá. Badigadi just going caput was sooooo damn funny.
Thank you for this explanation and the context.
I didn't mind the episode but it really did feel like they just kind of staples 2 plots together, I described it to a friend as a 'bridge episode' where it felt like they were really transitioning to the next plot line.
It’s a hard balancing act of covering all the content and reaching a satisfying stopping point at the end of the season.
I hate that i discovered this channel exist just now as an anime only, now with each episode I cant help but wonder what im missing...
Welcome!!!
the entire facination that badigadi shows towards rudeus to the point of wanting to stick around and see the full extent is intresting. i do expect that some of the stuff that was shown here to be at least mentioned why.
While the situation definitely would've felt more tense knowing the background of Badigadi's arrival, i dont think it was necessary. However, i do believe they should have included the remarks about Orsted between Rudy and Badigadi in the anime prior to the fight.
Another thing they left out was when Rudy saw fits sulking he thought he might have offended him. So he got up and said "for the sake of your pride, I'll slaughter them all! " to which fits started panicking while telling him not to kill anyone. Rudy tells him he was just joking and that's when they saw the pile of corpses/bodies.
Missed opportunity for a split second in which Fitz thinks Rudy killed them all without leaving the building
As always, amazing video!
Consider me subscribed that was a excellent explanation for someone who only watches the anime
ahhhh yes the cut content being in the order just like was talked about in order it was on the stream 🤣
The cut content wouldve made things so much better 😭 whole time I thought Bagigadi was Rudeus's teacher for that class he showed up for.
The episode felt perfectly paced, i was left wanting more information about this demon king. I just assumed I'll get more information next episode
Since your videos always help me to understand everything the anime missed out, I am fully content they didn't show it in the anime. Of course it's great to know what a huge deal Badigadis appearance was, but yeah, I rather have them skip it for other stuff, since I don't miss anything thanks to you.
Them only usually covering 2 chapters per episode this season, instead of the 3 that were common in Season 1 has actually made this season feel like it was dragging out. Finding out that this episode was 4 chapters explained a lot of why it didn't seem to have that plodding feel to it.
As a LN/WN reader, I feel that a lot of the people complaining about how “bad” S2 cour 1 is because of the cut content have no idea just how much content S1 skipped, since no one was covering the cut content in S1 at the time. Honestly, S1 skipped a lot more LN content, and content that’s actually even more important or substantial than some of what S2 has skipped so far. Volumes 3, 5 and even 6 had a lot of context and content that were either skimmed or just straight up skipped in the anime. Of course, that doesn’t stop S1 from being a fantastic adaptation, but it’s a bit annoying seeing people act like S2 is substantially worse because of some of the content that’s been omitted. It’s a shame that a lot of details were skipped, but that’s just the nature of LN to anime adaptations. There will always be a lot of skipped content. Even Re:ZERO S2, which had 30ish minute episodes, still skipped a lot of arc 4 content. I do think that the 1st cour of S2 isn’t as high quality visual wise as S1, which is mostly due to some of the key members production wise leaving for other projects unfortunately. However, things have been getting much better animation wise, even managing to reach some of the highs of S1. And S2 cour 1 is covering the “weakest” part of the overall story (I still really like the Magic University arc though, especially from volume 9 onwards, which is what the anime is adapting now). It’s a shame some of the Badi dialogue was skipped, and episode 8 did feel faster paced than some of the other episodes (even though I personally still enjoyed the episode). But they covered these 4 chapters in 1 episode so that the pacing for episode 9 is great. If they covered only up until the Badi intro for episode 8, and then saved the rest of the fight for episode 9, the pacing for the Nana chapters and everything after it would definitely suffer. So they chose to rush these chapters so that the pacing for episode 9-12 isn’t sacrificed, which was probably the best decision since imo, episode 9 covers one of the most important moments in the entire story. And from what I’ve heard from leakers and people who got to watch the episode early, episode 9 is probably the best episode of the season so far. In the end, I’m still very much loving S2 cour 1 so far, and I’m hyped to finally see volume 9 adapted. These last few episodes are going to be amazing. More than that tho, I’m INSANELY hyped for S2 cour 2. If adapted well, it will be an absolute masterpiece. I can’t wait to get to see volumes 10, 11 and ESPECIALLY 12 animated man. S2 cour 1 is mostly for getting to know the setting of Ranoa, as well as for getting to know the characters and grow attached to them, while cour 2 is the payoff for everything that’s been built up since S1. I guarantee that when S2 cour 2 ends, a lot of people will have absolutely fallen in love with the story, as well as truly come to appreciate Rudeus’ growth as a character.
As a LN reader, yes the context would been helpful for those who are anime only. Nice video as always hope those people get to see this video!
Bro I love your videos❤, I only watch it every once in a while but you always make a story; even if I already read it; interesting, maybe it’s your voice idk
Episode was good but that context definitely would have helped, which is why I’m glad I have this to help me better understand 🙏
I would have liked that extra layer with the deamon, its provide importan context to why he offered the hit me with one attack and win thing, since even he fears the dragon god
I can see why they would cut it like this.
If you were to include everything to give it a natural flow, you would have needed to do 3 episodes in total.
One episode with Badigadi, one episode with Rudi, and then one episode with their duel and aftermath.
the show focuses mainly upon Rudi's perspective which makes it more digestible.
Considering most shows are limited to like 12 episodes a season, 24 if they are really lucky.
This just is the best way to do it.
Since we are mainly following Rudi and sometimes Fitz, it wouldn't make sense to show all of the out of screen stuff.
It can make sense in a manga since you only need a few panels to demonstrate each.
But since we cannot have 50 episodes a season.
this is probably just the best format.
Yup, if they were to include everything and every little information there is in light novels- manga and so forth.
we would need 50 episodes a season.
Rudeus pov is like when you play a game and grind a hard area ahead of time then go back to the school as part of the main quest.
I feel like they really need show how much of a treat he is showing the audience to not fuck around with him especially near the end of the story If you know you know
The appearance of the demon king was so out of nowhere that it was a huge and fun surprise, especially since the mating season drama wasn’t that interesting. I think that made the episode more fun by keeping us in the dark like Rudy!
This could have been put into two episodes of Their Own
