Arifureta EP: 2

As a big fan of the manga when it was coming out, I was kinda disappointed with the anime. It's okay but the bad cgi, repetitive script, and a couple other things made this fall short of what it could've been for me. I've never seen the dub for this since I'm not usually a fan, and honestly it fixed a couple of the worst parts of the translations so far or at least the VAs made sure they didn't fall completely flat. I'm excited to see if that continues to be the case. Also for Karlii's point about yue, I think people forget that small women exist, and they are still markedly different from young children.

Yue mentions she can manipulate mana - which is something *only monsters can do* It's not focused on in the anime here, but in the books it's explained more properly in the beginning. People normally use magic circles (actual circles drawn on paper or carved into special items) to cast magic and a chant (where length of the chant and skill of the caster determine how big the circle has to be), but monsters can naturally manipulate mana and don't need these steps. So, when (VERY rarely) people emerge that have that same ability, they are outcasts in society and most often killed directly for being abominations. In the first episode Hajime is pretty surprised that after eating his first kill (the wolf) he gained the ability to manipulate mana directly. He knows how that is viewed in this world, but at that point he already doesn't care about that anymore so he doesn't make a big deal out of it and just files it under "neat, very useful to survive". When he rescues Yue from her prison, she is surprised to see him transmuting *without a magic circle* and just directly manipulating mana - the same ability she has. Although there is a "magic circle" on the back of his hand when he casts, that is more of an artistic choice here in the anime as it doesn't go as deep into this detail as the novel does ^^ Also, there are some more consequences and nuances to him being able to manipulate mana that, afaik, never get properly mentioned in the anime. Hajime was so low level and "bad" aka commonplace/normal, to do even the most basic synergy magic he had to carve a circle into his gloves that covered his whole hand. His skill was so low, even after training, anything more complex than making pitfalls or piling up dirt was completely out of his reach (it would take a massive circle and an absurd amount of mana). So he was literally useless. Before he gained this ability, he would never have been able to craft anything complex (which is why he didn't have/make weapons until then). If you know this, it will later make a lot more sense why others will see his powers as absurd - because in the lore of this world, they are. But the why is completely skipped over in the anime ^^

Yue!!

Lord of the Rings live stream reaction

His transmute ability lets him change the shape and density of inorganic material as well as break it down and recombine it. So basically he can take a lump of iron ore and a lump of coal, break it down, and put it back together to get a chunk of steel and some waste rock but he can't turn one mineral into another or increase the amount of material he has. When you see him tunneling with the skill he's basically just compacting the material in range of his skill to the outside so the tunnel has really dense walls. Also the "she" Hajime was talking about when he asked "Will I find hope waiting inside like she did" is the Greek myth of Pandora who was gifted a box by Zeus and told never to open it, curious to know what as inside a group stole it and opened it (or she did depends on the telling) releasing diseases, hate, sorrow, and death on mankind. When she opened the box again at the end she found hope hiding in the box and released it to the world as well.

Watching anything but code geass😭🙏

marvelous reaction tkohhh

13:55 nagumo is referring to pandora and hope literally being in the box from mythology/god of war.

If you react to the Lord of the Rings, you need to dress up and have proper tankards while you're at it.

Just wait for ep 9

I have two comment but both are spoilers, so here's a smiley instead :) P.S: that was 7 "Next One"s in 23 seconds; That's, on average, a "Next One" every 3.28 seconds!

At 13:56 Hajime is talking about Pandora's box from Greek Mythology

since you like him eating his way through the dungeon you need to add Dungeon Meshi (Delicious in Dungeon), Bofuri and I'm a Spider so what? to your list :D

Yeah Kaneki is one of my fave character designs. but the white hair red eyes on male or female characters is my absolute fave

hajime is not on level 115, cause he fell an unknown number of levels from the 65th level and then went another 50 levels down

That mewtwo meme reference had me dead

Wait... When did ep1 come out lol I guess I missed something

Arifureta means commonplace The title is literally commonplace from commonplace to world's strongest

Ken Kanaki from Tokyo Ghoul and Hajime Nagumo From Arifureta both white hair and red eyes hybrids that get more powerful by eating And you will be surprised that the other things they had in common in the OG web novels before it was changed by the Light novels

ii like the random thumbnails,it looks like carlie is judging u fr,no cap on god bro

So ready to watch this

i pray for days like today! Ep 2 here we go!
