But suppose the soil's quality were observable to the naked eye, then the effect would still not be observable until year 2, because the rotation is on a one year cycle.

If you're expecting this show to be focusing on (forbidden) romance, you'll be disappointed. As others have mentioned, this show is mostly about economy-building and the quest for peaceful coexistence between two worlds with the means of modernization. Yes, there is (forbidden) romance going on, but it's only secondary.

Spoiler for Off-topic:
Back to topic: It's not quite forbidden. The demons in this show looks more like humans than some humans. Later, they will show some demons as if they are from fairy tales. It was worth the wait for several months. The anime shows staffs' time and effort.

I just find this boring and slow, with no real interesting characters except Maou herself. Everyone else seems generic. Nothing about this really pops out at you making you want to watch this show. (Except maybe Maou's chest ) |

PS: Even though it's not the main drive, we do appreciate Maou's chest .

The only "complaint" I might lodge is that setting up the world and the exposition seems to be at some expense of time budget on character illumination - which might be why takai thinks they're a bit generic.
Personally, intelligent and witty is a win for me so far.

Even with that, many anime-only viewers who have posted here thought that this 2nd eps is better than the previous one. It got me thinking, if only ARMS can do the characters & animation better, this 2nd episode will be truly great.

Why is there people complaining about generic characters?
That stock critique doesn't really work for this particular show. The teleportation magic used at the start of EP2 was one of Hero's power.

I don't mind that the characters (other than Maou) feel underdeveloped because I see them as archetypes, as evidenced by the fact that they are only referred by a title, not a proper name. I think this is more a plot-driven show than character-driven.

This is about macroeconomics and social engineering; how to generate long term happiness for the whole population with the least amount of pain. It's the difference between giving food to one hungry person, and trying to make sure an entire nation has enough food to feed its people.

Yuusha also demonstrated his teleportation magic in the scene in which lil sis maid brought him bread. When she first sat down with him, there was nothing behind them. Then while they were talking, a giant dead boar somehow manage to appear behind them. |
