We already had a discussion about that, and I'm with you, the guy's good, but mostly with snarky, somewhat arrogant, proud guys, none of which applies to Bell.

[Valky]

Yeah, it sounds weird. And I'm being generous here.

[Wandering Soul]

Yeah his voice doesn't really suit Bell.

[Pablete]

Visual Key and Character designs added to the. first post as well.

[Kenju of the Right]

[Miraluka]

Actually, I thought they were smaller in comparison

I told you guys it wouldn't work. This guy can't pull off the childlike tone I always envisioned for Bell. Animation looks awkward, at least compared to the manga. It's too detailed in the wrong places. In short, I think they're overdoing it on the medieval like setting. This looks like the same epic animation fail as Outbreak Company.

As for Hestia's boobs, it's more like her outfit got more revealing.

Bell sounds weird...doesn't sound like a child...oh well, I'll get used to it...maybe...anyway, Hestia sounds a bit too young. I like the visuals so far. Let's just hope the fight scenes finely adapted.

Have you read the latest chapter of the manga? They've always been massive

[AceTrigger]

What's with the trend of hiring Yoshitsugu Matsuoka to voiced the MCs of harem anime lately?

Kirito.

That's pretty much it (To everyone in this thread, if there IS more to it, please do tell).

It usually works since most harem MCs are supposed to be cool and cocky to some degree, but Bell is not.

[Trung-t-rung]

I always though Bell's voice would be more shota-ish then the usual cool, cocky Kirito's voice.

[Fellen]

I was really hoping, for Yoshitsugu Matsuoka to have some hidden talent and do a good job as Bell. Sadly I have to agree that his voice really doesn't suit Bell.

[Iron Maw]

That was pretty a decent PV, nothing mind-blowing, but the animation looks pretty solid. Music is super generic through. =/

Anyway, having read the manga scanlations and 2 volumes of LN (and about 25% of the 3rd) to see what all the hubbub was all about I'm quite liking this series. It doesn't really stand out much compared to other High Fantasy LNs that I'm reading like Rokka no Yusha or Samayou no Duelist any particular way, but it's low calorie atmosphere evoke early Shounen Jump manga vibes which is pretty charming.

This is definitely well suited for anime because it very easy adapt. There isn't a whole lot of technical jargon and what's there is pretty self explanatory maybe save for Stat Ranks. The use of Internal monologue is limited compared to most LNs I've seen, the characters most part are pretty simple but likable. Lastly there isn't much of a defined plot, in fact I'd say it's more SOL then adventure type of story. It makes the books very character driven. So pacing shouldn't be much of a issue any volume could serve as good stopping point. Honesty you would have to be really one hack of Director and Writer to screw something like this up.

To be fair it's not much better in novels. Half the characters names look the author pulled out random english words and strung together.

Hmm...well, I have only read the available manga chs (which cover through vol one and touch a bit into vol two), and I did not really get much of a feel for any of the character's voices, but it is emphasized that Bell is a young, idealistic and innocent male there.

To be honest the story itself did not appeal overmuch to me, but it was especially bad per se...just...I dunno...kinda lukewarm, I guess. (I hear the novels are better, though.)

I enjoy sword and sorcery stuff generally, though, so I may give this one a try at least. Maybe the VA for Bell will work out really nicely by bringing aspects to the character we had not anticipated or such? Hmm. Well, we'll see, I guess. Maybe if more pv's come out it will help me get a clearer image....

It gets soooooooo much better at volume 3. That volume and the succeeding ones are the reason I'm hyped for this one.

I checked out novels once I was done with manga myself and so far it is been more or less a 1:1 in terms of adaptation. Only one scene from the vol 1 was skipped and that was epilogue. Which wasn't anything very special to be honest. I'm not quite "loving" the series myself, but am I intrigued enough by it. I suspect that I'll probably enjoyed Vol 1 and 2 a bit more animated than in text.
