But it also could've been worse. She could've picked this Seiya and wouldn't know what to do with him .

Yamada, Tanaka, Suzuki etc. are like Smith, Brown, Jones and so on in English, very common names in Japan. Seiya is the MC's first name, his family name 竜宮院 ("Ryuuguuin") is uncommon and possibly unique with lots of strong meanings -- Ryuuguu means "Dragon King's Palace" and the character used for the "in" suffix has historical Imperial connotations.

I like this heroes style. His way of buying armor is exactly how I would have done it.
The Belly free plate though: Nope, that was the goddess choosing for him. it also defeats the point of plate armor if a bunch of vital organs aren't protected. How the hell this girl could ever safe 5 worlds is beyond me. Also another reason to add why she should choose Japanese for her Isekai adventures: Not all cultures believe in more than 1 god. (Some aren't even supposed to do so) i.E she'd just get lots of people doubting her the entire time :P

I noticed that too. The 2nd homage I noticed was when Ristarte opened a portal a few minutes later. The circular motion of her arm in conjunction with the circular sparks generated around the portal felt like a direct reference to Doctor Strange from the marvel movies.

Last time I laughed this much watching anime was probably from Konosuba.
"No looking, you hentai goddess" that part especially killed me. Motherfucker was actually stronger than Chaos Machina, but he still went back to train The moment she started talking about having something up her sleeve, oh you sweet summer child...you didn't know what you were up against. Goddess still thirsty. Hero still a savage, I like their interactions. It was nice to see they both are serious about saving the world/innocent people despite everything. Good thing is she won't be completely useless, she can use her godly healing powers on the people Seiya ends up damaging accidentally

Hmm, Episode 2 is pretty weak despite the visual gags.
When you got down to it, what happened was that the author chose the least interesting and mentally challenging solution of just adding power to the protagonist, the foundation of which had not been established and so just looked like an butt-pull solution trying and failing to hide under the ostensibly "Cautious" personality. |

I'd say it felt not so much as a cop-out as an obvious choice. Given he character's caution, what else WOULD he have done but pull back out of danger and immediately build his power as much as he could as long as he could? Complaining that this character did that is like complaining that a Leeroy Jenkins type character jumped into the fray without a plan. Better to save the creativity for times when there's actually a question as to what the character might do.
That said, I must admit he sort of reminded me of myself to an extent. When I play games, especially strategy games but also RPGs to a lesser extent, I always try to build myself up to curb-stomp levels. I'd rather not rely on luck or reflexes when I can just make my characters/armies completely unstoppable. |

So MC burned village in order to save it... from some potential risk.
I also like that Goodness is not just dumb, but simply a bit impulsive and choleric, when MC is a incarnation of stoicism.

Not necessarily. Usually you'd have a cart to transport it around. While being WAY lighter than people believe(Actually less heavy than modern combat packs, while the weight is also better distributed), it's still not comfortable to wear after all.

Another great episode. Well I understand that you have to get into the rhythm of the show to enjoy it, as opposed to first episode which was more packed, but it's pretty good nonetheless for a fight episode.

Seiya's not completely heartless. His plan was always to come in and save the village, he just wanted to be in the exact, perfect, position to do so and not rush things to where the village would be in even more danger. And even when it had no real value, he still kept the little girl's good luck charm .
Although through his destructive thoroughness he destroyed the village more then Chaos Machina did...and also totally took all that guy's money like a thief . Poor Jamie...Just, poor Jamie . That moment when the hero makes sure they're so overpowered that the bad guy's final form is still outclassed . Poor Ristarte. She's caught between falling head over heels in love with Seiya to being completely repulsed and disgusted by him. It's not like Seiya treats her well anyways, acting dismissive and distrusting towards her and equating her to a medicinal herb. I don't think he's even outright said her name by this point. She's already super frustrated with him, falling for him even more is probably just going to be an even bigger exercise in frustration for her . So...I'm guessing they're saving the actual Ending until they've finished the animation? Like with Reincarnated as a Slime ?
