Ep 01
Oho? This turns out to be one of those series I read a bit of it some time ago and forgot the name of it and now that I am watching it again I remember having read a bit of it. That being said I thought it was a well done first episode - I will definitely give it a few more episodes.

Not that I dislike the way madhouse is handling this so far, tho. But it's good thanks to the original material here.

What exactly did Yatori to be annoying? At this point all her action were rather composed and reasonable. Actually by this point we know nothing that would say whether she is generic or not.
And considring she is Ikta's childhood friend who value his skills greatly and yet is perfectly fine with him sleeping around... even this "gradually falling for him" sound quite interesting.

He sleeps around? When was it said? Trying to get women into bed does not automatically mean the said person has succeeded with that. I don't see a LN show going there in regards of main character as there are some lines that market never crosses. Also she did not seem to take his flirting with someone else that easily considering she had typical "romantic crush is being an idiot" reaction to it. |

Thought this was pretty solid first episode. A bit on slow side though. Ikta seems like the type of person that can get a little out of hand so Yatori's nosense personality contrast pretty welll with him to keep him in line.
Kind of surprised how average the animation is for a first episode... |

Man, 1 thing is pretty clear from anime community's reaction to ep 1 :
Alderamin's greatest failure was being published & labeled as a Light Novel "usual ln infodump & babble" "typical ln redhead" "generic self insert mc" "cliche LN harem" the ann review from hope chapman in particular, lol |

it's not that bad 3 of 5 reviews were pretty much on spot (I looked on it just now) and honestly with this pace it really would need another 2 or three episodes even establish what kind of show it is in first place for non-novels readers
Problem are people who are not aware of that.

As I said, Show already got the positive points for doing the whole feeling up off-camera. That moment could have lent VERY easily to fanservice and since they did not do it then, hopefully that is indication that they won't use his traits for that. Quote:
She is rich, she is a redhead, she manhandles the main character, she is a warrior. So she is either tsundere or kuudere. The show did not exactly spend that much time establishing her beyond her supposed loyalty to the kingdom Quote:

The only things we have with the princess is her eavesdroping by the door and acting awkward, getting saved from the sea, being embarassed for being naked and being caught while peeing. Not exactly easy to get a feel on a character when the highpoint of her screentime is MC shutting her rant up in hilarious way. Quote:
The keypoint about the medic was that she failed exams whatever they are multiple times and is easily embarassed. The keypoint about that dude was that nobody knows who he is while he expects everyone to. We did not exactly get anything else about them so they ARE exactly that right now. They might or might not grow past that but right now they are that. Quote:
Right now the plot is already beginning and I am still confusing the names of both countries. That is not good. Quote:
I mean it is not that hard having a character look at the map as a way to help the viewer to get a feel of the layout. Quote:

As for infodump I'd say it was actually not enough of that. It would have been nice if the first episodes spent more time actually explaining how guns work, what kind of country they are in who is at war against them, etc, before throwing them all into the middle of the action. These kinds of shows benefit for having hour long premieres usually too. Right now anime onlies like me have only what is in the first episode and their previous experience with LN adaptations. |

@harry dresden I totally get your viewpoint mate.
Something like Qualadia code is where the skeptism about being a light novel totally applies, but alderamin stands out in it's execution. Character dynamics & world dealings wont be clear until the 4-5th eps tho. |

I guess the anime needs to tell you everything, and cannot hint at things without telling it clearly. Don't worry, they'll be told more directly later, then. Quote:

People want more exposition? I was glad with the lack of. They didnt tell the audience what those creatures were and just showed their powers.
It seems like people dont understand that light novels can be adapted anyway the director feels like. If he wants to go info dump he can but he can just build the world instead. Grimar and Rokka were great examples of show not tell. This is another great example of not face fucking you with info. They got the gist of character traits and the situation without making you feel like a moron. Sorry but if you want the light novel go ahead and read it im here for the anime. |
