I didn’t care for any of the characters, the big fight looked expensive to animate, but there was never any sense that the sword dude was ever in danger.
Nor did I get any sense of the plot’s direction or why I should care.
I read the manhwa too, and so far it’s being faithful, and it was nice touch to have additional explanations of this world up front graphically animated without being talky.
Good so far.
Yes, I also agree that a double episode premiere would have been more effective, because we haven’t seen what this story is really about.
The prisoner, Dotson, was “found dead” so who knows how many hours the body was lying there.
That pretty much precludes any use of the heart for transplant.
His relatives said they received the body in a decomposed state, but that could have been poor storage by the coroner before or after the autopsy, or the body might have been well hidden inside the prison so it was a long time before someone found it.
The article isn’t very clear on the condition of the body at each stage of handling.
What’s in the article is probably all the information that the reporter could get out of the prison authority, the state Department of Forensic Sciences, and the University.
It’s kind of a shock to see Sein leave so soon after joining the party. We might or might not see him again, or find out how his search for Gorilla went.
The OP shows us a second female mage joining the party, but doesn’t show the party without Sein yet, so maybe we’ll see him again…
The woman living alone where the Frost Cherry Tree village used to be didn’t explain why the village disappeared…
I’m finding the time to watch a lot more shows this season, and so far I’m finding enjoyment in the first episodes of some unexpected titles:
Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete • Gushing over Magical Girls - Villain POV with S&M lewdness
Sokushi Cheat - Kill all the evil classmates in an isekai. Kind of a similar vibe to The Executioner And Her Way Of Life
Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha • The Unwanted Undead Adventurer - An adventurer unexpectedly joins the monster track of advancement and starts from being a weak skeleton
Chiyu Mahou no Machigatta Tsukaikata: Senjou wo Kakeru Kaifuku Youin • The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic - An average student gets sucked into an isekai. All likeable characters so far.
Sousou No Freiren continues to be a strong show.
Solo Leveling - I’ve enjoyed the manhwa, and this first episode is okay, it could have been longer to get to the key plot mechanic.
Conversely, I was disappointed by the first episode of the highly anticipated Dungeon Meshi/Delicious In Dungeon, which is fine. Some shows take a few episodes for the writing to gain traction.
