    honestly i admit i dug this show and i’m glad to see it back

    the truth is that i LIKE when an isekai character employs basic physics to brutal effect

    bro materialized a several ton slug of tungsten in low earth orbit and just fucking DROPPED it on a target. A several kiloton pure kinetic strike. it was goddamn beautiful.

    the only other show i loved this much was that pharmacist one where he had the ability to alchemically conjure drug compounds and was in the process of revolutionizing his world’s comprehension of healthcare and germ theory.

      Yeah the part I like most about isekai is when they bring modern technology or knowledge into a different world. One of my favourite animes is Gate purely for that reason.

    Is anyone else tired of overly long titles that explain the whole concept? This title is like if Attack on Titan was called “Soldiers Using Complicated Grappling Equipment Fight Giant Attackers In A City.” It’s tiresome.

    You could actually make a game of it of it. Like, take a show title and give it the Recent Anime Title treatment. It’s a new nerdy party game! I’ll call it “We Take The Basic Situation of a Show and Turn it into a Title for that Show” Just rolls right off the tongue.

      “That Time I Obliterated my Brother’s Body and Spent an Arm and a Leg to Get His Soul Back.”

        I can’t effing believe it took me until now to get this. I knew you were doing the game, and I kept coming back and re-reading it over and over…

        And finally. Today. It clicked. Holy crap I’m slow lol.
