Too in-your-face.

Otherwise, nice enough.

Master_Yoma · 2013-10-05, 21:21

So this is a reverse Hataraku Maou-sama! and the Hero working in retail but go to hand it to that old dude

Master Assassin · 2013-10-05, 23:15

Got to the first episode and how should I say... they got me sold. (Pun obviously intended.)

ZeKeR · 2013-10-06, 10:30

well first episode... not bad...

This is DUMB. The demon lord was defeated, thus there is no more need for heroes. OK, that I can understand. It's actually an interesting idea. But the fact that their lives are in shambles is DUMB. Saying that all the skills they learned are now useless is DUMB. They are highly trained and very powerful fighters. Get a job as a bodyguard, a soldier, a policeman, there are MANY options. Hell, who wouldn't want a former hero as a bodyguard. There are many things wrong with this show, but the blatant stupidity they try to railroad the plot is its biggest flaw. Any of the former heroes should be able to get a good job with their physical talents alone. This makes no sense.

Another nitpicker duh.

He didn't become a hero, he failed to become one because someone else did the feat and took the glory for him/herself.

No leftovers for the mc.

Btw, don't take this show seriously, trust mee, its for your own good. Isn't like they're on a radioactive zone with school uniforms or something like that

.

That or just drop if you try to force your own logic on a fantasy series =/

No, nitpicking would be me bitching about how every single skirt is just short enough to see the panties. Nitpicking would be arguing that the old perv who buys the light bulb should be banned from the store. The hero trainees not being able to get a decent job, in spite of their physical and magical abilities, thus having to work crappy jobs, is not nitpicking. That's the basic premise of the show, and it is monumentally stupid when you spend even a minute to think about it. I know plot isn't the point of this, but they could have at least tried to give some sort of reason as to why they can't get a decent job. Instead, they just said that all the skills they trained to kill demons are useless in peace time. Really? They don't have policemen? Soldiers? Bodyguards?

jeroz · 2013-10-06, 17:30

I heard from others that the protagonist was so depressed he went NEET for a whole year, which makes all the available job openings taken up by other friends so he had to settle with as a clerk in a remote regional store.

I was wondering why we don't see his old friends with him anymore, and that explanation pretty much tells the story.

NoemiChan · 2013-10-06, 17:32

Best ecchi this season.... with respect to casts and plot.... that it...

DmonHiro · 2013-10-06, 17:33

Well, if Raul is the only hero trainee that never got a decent job, that makes it a lot better. But the way they said it in the show, it seemed like all hero trainees were unable to get job or make something of their lives.

Maybe they don't.

And yes it is nitpicking. From some reason it's very popular activity these days.

DmonHiro · 2013-10-06, 17:49

You should look up what nitpicking means, because I don't think you know. In short, it refers to pointing about and complaining about very minor or irrelevant errors or flaws. Pointing out possible plot holes is not nitpicking.

Tenzen12 · 2013-10-06, 17:52

Nitpick: To be concerned with or find fault with insignificant details (like you are doing right now. Plot hole? It's hardly important enough to be one).

Sumeragi · 2013-10-06, 18:04

Bodyguard: The requirements for a bodyguard is different from being a hero.
Police: You need to go through specific police-related training. That can take at least two years.
Soldier: Who knows if they're even recruiting in the new age of peace.

Basically, it is nitpicking, since there is no plot hole except for those one sees due to one not thinking deeply enough.

DorkingtonPugsly · 2013-10-06, 19:52

Love Phino, love show for what it is. That's about it for me. I'm tempted to get the blurays though... <.<

***CrowKenobi*** · 2013-10-06, 19:53

And is there any reason that nitpicking is not welcome here? (as opposed to insults which are definitely not welcome)

Why not? All the more reason to see bare open "plots" if you get what I'm saying.

It's just that it's a bit pricy you know? Like hundreds of dollars? The ones I get are ones I absolutely adore and know I'll watch over and over. But I like her a lot, so I'm gona see about future episodes, and then... drop the money

Well, yes, but not, as far as I'm concerned, for the same reasons you give.

After watching the episode, I can't help to think that complaining about whether or not the MC should be able to get a better job is, well, nothing personal, just plain silly.

This show is all about TnA. It oozes fanservice from it's every seam. By the end of the episode, I was going into fanservice overload mode. Any sort of "plot" there might be, is simply there to provide the opportunity for more fanservice.

I don't know if the leftover hero bit will come into play in future episodes, not knowing the source, but if it wasn't there to begin with, it wouldn't have made much of a difference to the rest of the episode, from what I can tell. Well, except there's some pretty nice fanservice in the opening sequence, too (I wouldn't mind seeing more of her, although there wasn't much left to the imagination).

So far, it's a dumb show, with a dumb plot, and lots and lots of fanservice. What's there to complain about if you're into this sort of show? I think it's best to toss critical thinking out the window when watching a show like this.

By the way, I don't consider you expressing your opinions as nitpicking, whether or not I agree with what you say.
