Garbage CGI that just did NOT integrate well with the scene....and then the hydra powers were just lazy work. And yeah....like wuhgum said. The anti-material railgun went off like a mini-wave motion gun. Not the narrow plasma beam it would have appeared as due to its speed.
I get they are trying to pack a lot of information into a short time slot...but good grief. It's like amateur hour by whomever laid out and planned it. Makes me wonder how much better it would have been with a competent animation studio behind it.

All I can say is that I've seen worse fights and and worse plot than this so it's not unwatchable for me.
somebody tagged this as low budget and yet it has all these CGI monsters which isn't cheap I think? This fight reminds me of that turtle rock dungeon boss from zelda a link to the past, although that one only had 3 heads. Also we finally found out where the teacher was. From the flashbacks we knew she was against making her students fight but since her ability is that of a farmer then she's sent somewhere else because she doesn't have any fighting capabilities, just like the MC, but she's still a summon so they can't exactly get rid of her easily.

Teacher has a noncombat class, but her is actually an OP one since she can MASSIVELY improve fertility of fields and therefore boost the shit out of crop yeelds. Not flashy but VEEERY important for the War Effort and VEEERY rare. She is pretty much considered almost a demigodess of fertility
Which is pretty much the reason she has any say in this at all. I don't know how you could make something CHEAPER than that thing. This is early 00s console video game levels of fidelity.

Also consider that some parts might be home to analogues of Tucker's Kobolds (PDF) (which I suspect might have been part of the inspiration for Goblin Slayer). And yes, 4th Dimsenion, good call on remembering the the saying 'an army marches on its stomach' is a saying for a very good reason...

I liked the Hajime and Yue kiss at least. What better way to confirm someone's faith in you by planting a warm kiss full of passion on them .
I'm still getting shady vibes with this group that brought the kids over. That the teacher had to actively step in to make sure they didn't send any kids who didn't want to go into the dungeons is a big red flag.

EDIT: It's amazing how close Tucker's kobolds are to the first episode of goblin slayer, though we probably wouldn't know if the author had read that before he wrote that scene in Goblin Slayer, also if ever I became a DM I'm going to steal that one for sure.

Though maybe they are planning to show more of that later when the arc which features among others sensei comes about. Which is pretty much how this adaptation has rolled. Telling you things well after the fact.

If you're an anime only viewer you'd probably be wondering how this got an anime in the first place because of how stale it feels. It's one of those adaptations where the group really didn't do a great story justice and it's a shame that's the case

Making holes on the ceiling, throwing grenades inside those hole, the grenades stuck in it.
Does it really work in real life? It is my first time seeing it. Aside from the fight, I didn't know that situation the whole class is in was that bad. Small children are inside those dungeon and this one good looking boy is saying to his classmates about going forward nonsense, it is nonsense to me at this point. |

I think the way ti went in the novel he dodged about between the shots of the monster it was firing about and placed charges on the roof. I don't think the novel goes into how he got the charges into position excatly. Then he got the monster to fire upwars and that with the detonation of his own charges collapsed the roof.
Good looking one is a fucking idiot, I'll say that much.

By good-looking one, you mean Kouki? It's gonna be hard for anime-only viewers to reach that conclusion, with the little time he's been getting in the series.
The story's prologue (that got severely skipped in the anime) kinda helped get to that conclusion, as far as I remember |

That sounds like a trick the Viet Cong were fond of: they would take a discarded LAW tube or the like, add a removable cap, then fill it with grenades sans pins (the tube would be enough to keep the spoons in place), then rig it with a tripwire linked to said caps. The wire would, when triggered, pull the caps off, allowing the grenades to drop out...
