Arifureta 1x4 - That was... Interesting

"I'm gonna pee on you" Taylor's face is the equivalent of the "oh no I hope I don't fall" meme hahaha

I'm a big fan of Arifureta. Season 1 was just poorly done, especially the first 6 episodes. The studio had issues. The animation/cgi was bad, and dialog was just spaghetti. Season 2 (and 3) were just done better. If you can slog through season 1 just to get the general idea of who and whats going on, then Season 2 will be a lot of fun.

This was a show I dropped as well, was quite surprised when it was voted for. The other options were just better imo. Still great reaction, but this show was a rough watch for me.

I apologize for voting for this. I remembered it as "trashy, but fun". Going back there are better option for that title now, and the plot, which wasn't too bad at the time, is now done to death. To say nothing of the boring fight choreograph and horrendous CGI.

The novels are quite good and the world is interesting, but the anime has always been pretty bad and it surprised me that this show got 3 seasons at all but "So i'm a spider so what" only got one season

The 3d get waaaaay better in the later seasons

this is sad to hear, but even as someone that loves this anime even i can't saying anything but how bad the CGI was in this fight and a few more yet to come aswell.

First I will say I have a high tolerance for BAD segments in anime. Overall I do like Arifureta but put in the box with all the absurd and disjointed shows I have seen over the years. Things are often rushed, forced into place with a sledge hammer, or left for the view to make something up to fill in the gaps. But Hajime grew on me and there was enough of the unexpected that it entertained. But you probably would have done better with Wrong Way....

Yeah, the first season’s CGI sucks. The second and third season are better but yeah, the first season is a rough watch. The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic is far better. Make sure you do dub on that too

I think this show one the vote strictly to see Crash Out Karli.

Ye the 3D is VERY unfortunate, especially considering the story is pretty good. One of those cases were being a LN reader feels like getting punched in the gut by cost-cutting corpo greed. When they made the first season, the novel was already a good sell - but they cheaped out on the production anyway.

yea new this was coming :D love the Anime but this Episode is reaaaly bad :D

the nostalgia factor hits hard on this one. I voted for it because I remember liking many scenes in it but I can barely bring myself to watch this again lol

Ngl this reaction more cringe than the show itself

I really hope yall continue the series especially season 2 and 3. I need yall to meet the bunnies and keep in mind THEY ARE BUNNIES. P.S. the Crashout Karli ep while very honest to herself happens to also be great content. We love yall either way. Also why aren't yall doing 2 eps of this at a time?

I mean 1st season budget had to be low it gets a little better each season but the show is still good. Is this or Overlord the winner of terrible CGI?

MVP is the Karli "disappointed face" hahaha I LOVE IT 😂😂😂😂

i'll be honest, i dont remember them being so derpy looking.

I've seen all of this. A friend recommended it to me and it still hurts just as much to watch it again. 3 seasons of this. I would rather watch d grey man knowing the anime doesn't finish anything.

I dont get how wistoria or any other anime in the polls lost to arifureta

Yeah the CGI in this show is a massive detractor. Fortunately they learned and diched the terrible CGI for season 2. The story is what really kept me watching this after this episode.

I feel like there's an adaptation issue with their relationship. Like, traveling 50+ floors probably took quite a while. So they've been wandering together longer than we've seen them doing so because it skips around. I have to wonder if the source material had a lot more material that got skipped over to rush the adaptation. Like, I can kind of understand the bond, they were both betrayed, far as they were concerned both of them were abandoned, and they bonded over their pain and shared reliance on one another both for companionship and survival, but I still don't really like it, and this adaptation really rushes to that point and it does feel forced and kind of awkward.

Or watch what is likely a higher rated anime like 86... But whatever your feeling haha. I remember 'wrong way to use healing magic' being better. Could find some more enjoyment there! An angry rant is fun every once in a while but want you two to enjoy recording. It's more fun to see you two having fun!

Don't take it as "the power of love", it is more like "the power of lonely horny", to be fair I was where you were at this point, it doesn't get better with the romance situation, but the main premise kicks in next episode, it may improve your opinion a little

after this watch wistoria it's got good action good animation and good story

Haha I don’t remember much from this show but I do remember thinking this was one episode I’d never watch again

i do feel bad for karli having to go through this. ive watched each season and it does get better for a bit but then it gets worse. if you cut this show short i wouldnt blame you guys at all

yea I too was confused when this won the vote I told myself unless they watch dub I wont even watch the reaction but the way you reacted to the first few episodes had me thinking maybe its just me but no this is more what I was expecting honestly mid at best it has good moments that are all balanced with very bad moments id agree this is still the worst it gets though (not going to say its uphill from here though its kind of just straightforward)

marvelous reaction tkohhh totally agree cgi is really bad

As a fan, I am not offended. I really liked this show (even though it has bad CGI -_-). For me, it is still fun to see another perspective.

I watched this anime years ago, and man, I forgot how bad it was

Wrong way to use healing magic is definitely a step up from arifureta . No hate to ari fans but I watched it all cause one of my homies wanted to check it out and in my opinion, the animation barely gets better along with the storylines. I’m still excited for a wistoria reaction after seeing it on the poll

The main point of Arifureta is a Harem comedy and the comedy comes in later and harems more often than not have somewhat forced romantic plots, it’s not here for the fights, so I would wait and see if you like after a couple eps The plot does get a bit better with the class and the people he meets later and with his goals of going back to earth If I remember correctly wrong way to use healing has even less plot (I could be wrong) it’s just another comedy isekai with not much plot

Wow, I haven't actually seen the anime, but figured I'd drop in to check cause it's you guys. And wow it really is bad... I'm a novel reader, don't remember everything but this fight was definitely so much better in the novel (even when you don't consider the absence of bad 3D 😆)... Though I still don't like many of the storyline choices (partially personal preference), most things make sense atleast.

the bad CGI is one thing but that fight felt so undynamic and underwhelming

I hope you switch anime after season 1. Season 1 has some highlights, but after that is just boring harem stuff

While still not one of the top animes ever, The Wrong Way To Use Healing Magic is better than this

"I can't stop. I have to keep going."

The Wrong Anime to Watch Instead of Healing Magic rofl

The fact we got THIS and not Danmachi is tragic 😔

Hyped to get to the wrong way to use healing magic after all!

im surprised it got to ep 4, all i remember about this anime is its so fucking ass. and that it becomes thinly veiled kinks later

Wow, I voted for this because I had watched it and thought I remembered it being decent. Nevermind, my bad. lol

First time i saw the episode yeah CGI bad, fight scene underwhelming. When i saw the kiss, i thought it wasn't needed, but when the Hydra/whatchacallit tried the hypnosis again and didn't work i thought so that's why he did the kiss to keep her grounded in reality. Idk if that's right, but was my first reaction. I would not be mad if you stopped after season 1

Not gonna lie this anime is mid in its entirety Nagumo's personality is basically the only reason I watched it all.

Not surprised. I dropped it somewhere before season 1 ended. Tried to vote for something else? Maybe in the future we could move away from the isekai genre a bit? Pretty shure you watched all the good ones already.

Definitely get the accelerator comparison. There's an unfortunate amount of trash in this. I didn't vote for it for a reason. Episode 9 is really the only part of this show I care about you guys reacting to.

Have you guys heard about RE:ZERO? It’s really good and kind of unique. I strongly recommend it! And this one is not fonna be better xD The wrong way to use healing magic is much much better

im so sorry guys,i forgot that i was faded watching the anime,or the manga...i dont even remember witch one it was

Im sorry I voted for this one, its been a while since i watched it and forgot how bad the cgi was lol, it does get better, but yeah, i would be fine with yall dropping it after season 1 if its not your thing, i binge a lot of anime, good or bad, and tend to overlook a lot of the bad in them lol.

Lol

But totally got you. I was a huge fan before the anime and season one already ruined it for me but be patience the 3d will be reduced (or i had ignored it later - because i only remember being angry about the first episodes.)

Doe you know about Episode 6.5 i believe was is? In Season one was one episode that had all the previous happenings in it. The studio had time trouble. And if i remeber correct there was nothing important new in that episode. Others can coorect me on that if I'm wrong.

The thing about this anime is that it's 50% bad and 50% good. The funnies are really funny, the characters are either really interesting or completely flat, the settings are awesome, the CGI sucks, the action sucks, the story is genuinely good, the romance is forced and shit, the twists are nonsensical and the non-CGI animation never falters even through the poor quality. This is going to be torture for Karlii, unfortunately, but I'm looking forward to the crashouts just as much as I'm looking forward to the truly funny moments.

The below was my comment on the Arifureta vs Wrong way to use healing magic poll. "Arifureta ... Yikes. Never thought I'd see the day where it probably gets a reaction. When i first watched Arifureta, It checked all boxes of being the most cheesy and corny plot and dialogues, writen by some 14 year old to satisfy 14 year old's fantasy. That's what i thought. And that opinion still haven't changed though. Sure people have their own taste, i guess Arifureta is not for me. I'll still watch the reaction from you guys." I'm just here for you guys, not for that Ari-making me furious-eta anime. That being said, those who voted for it... To each their own.

Crash Karli strikes again) love u for that, it was refreshing)

The low budget is why I voted against this one, along with not great world building imo.

The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic is so much better than this anime at least, hope you enjoy it whenever you get to it.

Arifureta is not that good 😂

the reason I stay with the LN most times, came for the shitty anime, stayed for the crash outs

As far as I can remember, the anime doesn’t get any better in the aspects you mentioned. I was really surprised as to why this isekai ended up in first place in the last poll. There are so many other good isekai, or other anime in general (world-building, story, animation...). (But of course, that sort of thing is a matter of taste.)

Low budget anime unfortunately , but still enjoyable and funny. You will see

Crashout time!

Please don't dread trough this its a below mid anime and i'm sorry i voted for it 😅

In my opinion as i first saw the anime i was thinking that the Look of the 3d monster is a choice to letzter the monter Look ugly i didnt know at that time that is only failded 3d

They’re seeing why I voted against this anime every time lol
