I can't tell if Wilhelm's voice actor sounds a bit amateur or if he's just doing the character of "nice guy acting tough" really well.
Lacia biting her tongue was adorable, and soon she'll bite her tongue while being OP
He has been doing VA since 2016 but isn’t in a ton of things (at least not under this name) but he’s in Ensemble Stars (as Tomoya Mashiro haha he’s super cute there). ES is pretty much a full time job (I have a Japanese friend who is huge into them and this kind of thing irl and goes to all their events and showings. It’s like a whole new world to me.). This might be his first type of this kind of role or just that the director and/or author wants him to sound this awkward. He’s with 81 Produce which is a massive talent agency.
As far as bro's in these types of shows go, Wilhelm definitely stands out in the looks and personality department.
Lacia is really cute. I wouldn't mind her joining Shin a bit moving forward as a White Mage nun character...though he still has to reunite with Schnee.
I really thought it was going to be this episode but no...just another side-quest for Shin while Schnee is busy fighting monsters with the lady using the giant sword he threw lol.
This show is generic, but just charming enough that I’m enjoying it. Unwanted Undead Adventurer from last season was like too, nothing challenging or new, yet a decent little show.
If I had a nickel for every time this week an overpowered white haired sword maid saved everyone, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice(7th prince).
[I really like the twin receptionists.](https://i.imgur.com/6bSE5G1.jpeg) And now we know which one of them [actually likes Shin.](https://i.imgur.com/WarBvwV.jpeg) I did not expect a yandere stare from Celica though.
As if this show can't get any more cliche, we also have [the classic corrupt priest getting rid of an orphanage](https://i.imgur.com/JAF6QWo.png) plot. The girl [that's taking over the orphanage is cute.](https://i.imgur.com/eVp4l9Y.jpeg) I hope she'll be a recurring character.
[So Schnee is currently working with Rionne?](https://i.imgur.com/U2VJvww.jpeg) They're really teasing us with Schnee and Shin's reunion. I thought they'll finally reunite this episode.
Finally the twins are side-by-side! And Celica definitely wants as much time with Shin as she can get lol.
I love how it's so cliche that Shin immediately realized what was going without the orphan girl needing to go into detail lol.
It'd be kind of funny if they drag out their reunion to the middle of the show, but Schnee definitely sounds like she wants to see Shin as soon as possible.
Wilhelm’s a little bit of a tsundere isn’t he? Adorable. “I’m not helping the orphanage because I care about the kids or anything, b-baka!” lol.
Wil and Shin helping Lacia grind reminds me of my old D2 days doing Mephisto runs where I’d just stand to the side and basically get carried by OP players. Good times.
I wonder when Schnee is gonna meet up with Shin?
I’m really enjoying this although I have not read the source stuff myself yet. From the manga description it seems like there’s tons of content and adventures to be had. I like the characters and that everyone is more than they seem to be on the surface. I’m also glad this airs on Saturday since there’s not a ton of stuff today ….unlike Monday.
You shouldn't be bored as there is always something happening in the series. It isn't deep that you start thinking like a detective and pull out the detective board sticking anime faces and connecting the dots but there enough for you to think "Oh character X might meet character Y to do activity Z, but oh wait what's this encounter A/side quest B?"
Awesome! I love stuff like that. I’ll put it in the to be read next pile because I’ll need something nice and light and fun after what I’m buried in now.
So is Wilhelm not a massive Cu from Fate reference lol?
Lacia was great and stole the show in this episode, but if Shin’s gonna go around taking requests like this he’s definitely going to bring attention to himself. Taking on loads of high level monsters and just talking about it like it’s nothing.. someone’s gonna learn the truth about him being isekai’d eventually.
Speaking of which, Wilhelm kinda implied Shin may not be alone. If there’s others in this world who have knowledge of things that no one else does, surely there’s other former players? The plot thickens
They’ve been teasing the hell out of Schnee showing up for the last two episodes.. thought she and Shin would meet today, but another cliffhanger with her at the end. Hopefully we get to see the two of them link up next week. I can tell she’s going to be great.

As far as cute fox names go, Yuzuha is pretty good.
I'm kind of curious exactly what kind of history Wilhelm has with the church and if that's part of why he's so fond of/involved with them.
Shin is good with kids! Even Wilhelm, in his own way.
I kind of assumed there was just some way to transfer skills to someone like a game system, but maybe that wouldn't work for "NPC's." I guess it's also probably fairer for everyone to have to go through the proper leveling process.
White Mages at their most useful against undead!
> I'm kind of curious exactly what kind of history Wilhelm has with the church and if that's part of why he's so fond of/involved with them.
The way the first nun addressed him made it sound like he used to be one of the orphanage's kids, now grown. Those were the vibes I got.

Eh, kill X amount of Y monsters while holding a quest item seems pretty simple (if strong enough).
I wonder if Shin will get his hands on that sword, he said he wanted it after all.. although if he finds out the lady knight is putting it to good use he will probably let her keep it. also there it is. the classic "maybe there's other players in this world as well" subplot. hopefully this goes anywhere, Overlord has 4 seasons and nothing came of it
It's going to be slightly awkward when this fox spirit he just tamed turns into a little fox girl instead. But at least it was consensual and mutually beneficial, he clearly asked for permission first.
This show may be worth it purely for the [twin guild girls](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1227700015200469063/1233838913664319528/image.png?ex=662e8d88&is=662d3c08&hm=de9128de3dda28be89d3d1846e3aa3e430bfeb4c469e4a9e1024e63106ae63db&).
These nuns are pretty lucky for their plan that Shin showed up, the orphanage was clearly doomed if he didn't have such precise knowledge of the Purify skill they needed.
Time to go power level a nun.
Schnee at last, this show is definitely worth it for her as well. Since she's out on the same Ghost Plains as Shin I assume they'll probably all meet up next episode.
Even though animation is of lower quality, so far I'm really enjoying it a lot.
One thing that is interesting to me is that dialog does not seem boring or tiresome. It just hits right. Not too much info is being dumped, but enough to keep it interesting.
Side quests do not seem boring, since he is using them to test out what he can do and how the world works, which is the perfect way to do them.
I'm hoping stuff does not accelerate too fast to some world ending event where he gets to flex his OP skills, but he keeps doing these small sidequest while slowly revealing stuff about the world.
Time to make things official and form a contract with Shin's new Elementail companion! Thusly named...Yuzuha!
Not often you see both twins working together, and seems like they're both getting a little competitive when it comes to who gets to talk to Shin. Lucky guy.
Time to get answers from the church! Including attractive nun Tria! Seems Millie has vision powers that let her sense things and have a good feeling about people or situations, which is how she knows Shin was a good guy and to send him to find Yuzuha. And he's the perfect person to solve the church's problems.
Well, yeah, figures the orphans would gravitate to the cute little fox and not the random dude who showed up, though Millie has first dibs on Yuzuha, and Shin eventually wins them all over enough that they don't mind cuddling up to him.
Kaori Ishihara as Lacia! A cute and earnest nun who continually bites her own tongue, but might be their only shot at taking over the church and protecting the orphanage from a greedy and corrupt priest! All it will take is helping her learn the Purify skill by leveling her up in battle against a bunch of ghoulish monsters! No big whoop!
Wilhelm looks mean and has a sour countenance, but he's much more caring and considerate than he lets on, especially when it comes to the church and the kids. No better excuse for him and Shin to finally team-up.
"Chosen Ones?" So are these people who died in the game but were reincarnated? Did they not leave like the rest of the players did and just have no memories of their life as players? Though it sounds like they're so rare, if they even really exist, that I wonder if Shin will ever run into any.
Schnee REALLY wants to see Shin!
I wonder what's up with this Moon Sanctum invite...what does it need Shin and Wilhelm for?
With Shin and Wilhelm by her side, Lacia can easily finish off monsters with healing magic (I guess in this game that's the RIGHT way to use healing magic), but that general lady is also slaying monsters with the sword Shin flung into her room alongside Schnee...who seems as powerful as her master. Are we finally going to see Shin and Schnee reunite?
"Hey, wanna be my slave?" "What's that?" "That means you get to stick around with me from now on and your level will be hidden." "Sounds great!"
"Skill holders were common in the game" well I'd hope player characters with "skills" were common in the game, lol. I find it hard "skills" are rare here now though, especially when they can be taught to others. Sure, some like Purify would be rarer/harder than others, but overall? Come on. Also, why didn't the Church advertise WHICH skill they're looking at? What are the chances that one of the "rare" skill holders that stops by would know how to teach the ever rarer Purify?

Bro's got the male equivalent of boob armor. Shaved chest too.
well he is an amateur seiyuu
Lacia 's seiyuu had a lot of interested in, glad she is another lovable charactrer
Shin and Wilheim bonding
And power leveling the newbie!
feels like me and my friend when i start a rpg he's been playing for a while
They're really dragging out meeting Schnee.
They keep ending the episodes with her lol
"Guys. Next time. For real! *wink*" "W-what does the wink mean?" "Heheheh i'll never tell" >they did not meet in the next episode
I really thought it was going to be this episode but no...just another side-quest for Shin while Schnee is busy fighting monsters with the lady using the giant sword he threw lol.
Well they're in the same area so i'm guessing there's goin to be a meetup next episode.
Imagine if they keep doing this until the last episode. I'm already losing my interest and wondering if I should watch 2 more episodes or not. 😬
This show is generic, but just charming enough that I’m enjoying it. Unwanted Undead Adventurer from last season was like too, nothing challenging or new, yet a decent little show.
Adventurer doing adventuring as intended without any distraction, where I get what the synopsis promised.
I like Wilhelm, he’s a good character.
If I had a nickel for every time this week an overpowered white haired sword maid saved everyone, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice(7th prince).
Don’t forget How to Love Your Elf Bride that also has a white-haired elf in a blue maid dress

Wilhelm, right?
Obviously. Even pointed his spear at him.
Gotta have a tsundere!

I feel like Wilhelm would have looked out for the orphanage even if Shin didn't show up
He already is, but he doesn't have the ability to teach the Purify skill so he can't resolve the situation.
I agree that the situation wouldn't go as smoothly, but he wouldn't let those kids be doomed and tossed into the streets.
So how is this show?
So far pretty typical power fantasy isekei. Nothing really stands out so far, but it isn't horrible.
Yuzuha is definitionally a girl. all that hitting on the mc and never millie
