This one didn’t land for me. Felt like half the episode was padding with over explaining and random blabbering.

I thought the previous episodes were pretty funny, but this one just lost the plot a bit too much for me.

I just caught up on this series and it has been a trip. As the show has gone, it has become more and more unhinged. It feels kind of like a mix between your typical power fantasy/isekai slop and some kind of everybody-is-intentionally-stupid comedy like Nokotan. This most recent episode in particular leans really heavily on the stupid comedy.

If I'm being honest...not all the jokes land for me, but I am liking the show more overall with this heavier comedic focus. I feel like this style of comedy hasn't been too well represented outside of SOL series. So, seeing it in the context of this fantasy/isekai/RPG style adventure is actually proving interesting to me. If this story was just told straight, there wouldn't be much to differentiate it from countless other power fantasy series out there (I have read several similar manga about blacksmiths that can create OP weapons for example). However, doing brain-rot comedy bits helps set this series apart from the rest.

This episode proves to me that the tradeoff for Rein's super enchanting power is that he makes everybody else in his party dumber. It seems kind of similar in setup to Konosuba and how Aqua constantly brings bad luck to her party. I look forward to after Mirabelle joins the party and she transforms into an idiot like the rest of them.

Easily my favorite show this season. Comedic timing is absolutely beautiful in this
