This was fun. I liked that this trio wasn't exactly a thing until right before they were taken. But the show also gave them some time to chat. Enough time for Usato to get along with Suzune and Kazuki. Enough time to get comfortable and for a friendship to get formed. The little chat gave a nice focus on who Kazuto and Suzune are. Good look at their friendship. Even some issues like Kazuto being such a guy that has plenty of female fans but the guys in class keep their distance.
Nothing wrong either with the concept of someone getting wrapped up in the summoning of the intended heroes. He was just in the right place at the right time (or wrong I guess depending on how you look at it). Plus Suzune fangirling as they were being summoned was great. She was totally into it .

I enjoyed this more then I thought I would. I liked the threes interactions with each other, so I'm a bit sad that we'll probably be losing some of that in the coming episodes.
It was also nice that we got three different reactions to being summoned.

Note: aside from being able to get to casualties, and evacuate them, quickly (any combat medic worth their salt will wax long on the importance of the 'golden hour'), I can see another reason for the intense physical training. Consider what most of us learned very quickly in games like Diablo when it comes to groups of enemies: the healers/revivers are first on the priority list. It is entirely possible that the OPFOR in this setting had that brainwave too.

Kind of entertaining having Suzune just...going for it. Obviously less romantic than...physical, but that's something!
And if nothing else can at least say that this training can pay off. A bit terrifying to just continually train because...there's no exhaustion when the healing gets flowing, but that'll work I suppose. If nothing else he'll be a physical force. Brainwashing was pretty effective too. Seems like things are going ok. The attacking focused pair are getting steady training so they should be ok. Vibes look potentially good with Kazuki and the Princess. I'm sure Suzune would be all hyped for a classic hero and princess ship to sail .

It's certainly hiding the very real and very high stakes when Usato actually arrives at the battlefield and starts doing field combat medic work, but Rose very calmly described what their true purpose is with some degree of reverence. The King, the princess, and their knights are treating the heroes like real people, understanding the demand they've put on them and the sacrifices they're asking the trio to make in their benefit. They're trying to defend Usato from what Rose is forcing him into, but only the audience knows from the first moments of the first episode that Usato is naturally a pretty caring guy for how "unremarkable" he views himself. The light-hearted moments and joking around feel like a 90s fantasy series, which I have missed. A lot of isekai have this fabricated intense gravity around them taking themselves extremely serious while being utterly ridiculous in premise. We're often told the setting is serious while they're driving around in dune buggies in a fantasy world... This one is light-hearted and silly, while building an undertone that Usato is about to see some gruesome stuff where his success really matters: saving injured soldiers. |

Surprisingly an isekai series with an interesting start. I really like the starting school scene which gave slightly more than a cursory introduction to the isekai'ed characters. Even if not for the isekai, I could have continued on to the next episode and get engaged with a potentially good SoL show. Even in the isekai, the characters there are pretty "thick" (濃い). The humour makes it very palatable.

The official anime website says the anime's 13 episodes will all be released in 1 Bluray set.
https://chiyumahou-anime.com/product/ Given anime release standards are usually for 2-3 eps per Bluray, is the mass release on 1 Bluray a bad thing? Does it mean the committee has no faith in consumers wanting to make more purchases of the show? |

So far this is one of my favorite shows this season.
The were already hints that Suzune was interested in Usato and now that he is developing muscles she is falling even harder, glad to see that she's not shy at all about her fetishes.
