Alina seems to have enemies and we got to see more of her past.

I get why Jade wants her to join his guild but he can be a bit annoying. Laila adds a bit more personality in this show, kind of like a support cast as part of the show. Alina's signature skill with her hammer is definitely something to keep an eye as she did acquire it through some interesting means.

Her identity doesn't seems to be as secret as she wants it to be.
Well i don't really see a reason to hide it in the first place most of the things the main seems to fear is just in her head.
The big question now is where will she live?
Or maybe her home will be fixed, i can see it as a way to have her help out others as in the home being fixed as a favour.
But i guess we will to wait and find out.

I already fallen pretty deep with Jade in the first episode, but the second one makes me love him even more.

I usually like a bara guy like the guild leader but strangely I'm not buying him yet, I'll observe him closely in the next episode to see if he has any potential.

The golem's design is kinda cool. It's reminiscent of Zaku mobile suits.

Ah the age old rumour of the guild hiding quests from adventurers. Alina's dinner spot sure had quite the view of the town. The origin for how she gained her skill though really was sad. Whose great idea was it to bring a raid boss back to the main town. Too bad that Slay was taken out after he wrecked her house though. Hmm it was just bad luck that the guildmaster was in town though. But curious to see how Alina would get out of this one.

This already one of Takarie’s best performances holy shit just in this episode alone the range she shown is insane. From the fight scenes to her crying about being overworked to the snark she has with Jade and then the relief when he starts helping her out, this woman is incredible and takes this show to another level. Loving Alina sm already.

I’m actually so glad that POS adventurer attacked the town so Alina could have an excuse to beat his ass after he called her a bit h earlier. I was annoyed as hell so thanks for making that happen lmao. Takarie’s performance for that fight was awesome too!!


So her origin story for her abilities is that she was so upset about missing a festival she prayed and developed OP cheat skills? Sounds about right lmao.

Cat’s out the bag already though, people know Alina’s executioner so how’s she gonna prevent things from spiralling?? Maybe beat old dude’s ass and then he promises to keep it a secret or..?

I love how Alina’s coworker is the biggest shipper of executioner and Jade 😂 “I want him to hit me with his hammer” PHRASING

Yeah, I also wouldn't mind if Alina hit her with the hammer.

Alina is getting exposed to even more people now. It wouldn't surprise me if everyone knew by the time we were done here. Gotta wonder what's up with this random dickhead who has the power to hijack a golem. We've also got some power progression in this episode. In this situation, where any other hero would get handed a new ability, Alina instead gets a loyal simp to help with paperwork. Now she's truly unstoppable. Guildmaster better watch out!

Episode 2 continues the trend... of there being absolutely nothing to talk about.

Alina looks pretty, but sadly, she's such a dull character. She hates overtime and wants to be left alone. She often gets irritated. Anything else?

And she hated overtime so much that she... prayed for great power? How does one make that leap? It's not even played off as comedy? Were they even trying when they wrote that?

The Silver Sword guy has zero personality. The petty thug character is just embarrassing, written with zero effort (complete with the "I'll remember this!" exit). The action is "hit things really hard." There's nothing of note about how the world works.

The one joke that made me smirk was the receptionist co-worker going, "I wish he'd hit me - I mean, protect me with that huge hammer!"

Great episode, loved both the action and the comedy.
Poor Jade, doesn't seem like this is going to become a romance any time soon haha.
Also, Alina got her house destroyed and her secret found out once again, let's see how things go next week.

This plot seems like a huge stretch so far.
1. Some random adventurer decides to destroy the entire city because guild receptionist kindly said there are no hidden jobs
2. She is obsessed about keeping her identity hidden but casually shows her face in a first episode and despite knowing of the guild master's skill takes no effort in hiding her face behind a mask or sth
3. Why is she the only receptionist in the guild doing overtime?
4. Also casually uses her skill in the city (multiple times) because she finds Jade trying to recruit her irritating
5. She gets a super OP skill because of such a lame reason

I really find this anime hard to like although the plot looked promissing at first.

Well that was fast. Now at least 5 people know her identity. I wonder if the GM will still let her secretly fight in the dungeons while working as a receptionist or there will be more revealed about the mysterious "chalk tower" quest.

I am so surprised nobody actually knew who she was before. For someone having a secret identity she does zero work towards keeping it secret. Used her very known and recognizable skill in public for once. It’s just Alina, my sister in Christ, after being found out once, a mask or anything else would have made it harder to be discovered again. Why did she do nothing about that?? And be that surprised she was found out again 😭😭????

With every new epsiode this feels like my hidden Gem of the season. Alina's mindset and struggles are so relatable to me. Working overtime is just the worst.

This is so much fun. And when a cliffhanger frustrates me, it's a good sign because I'm invested.

Episode 4/5

The comedy really works here lol There was that cliché scene of the guy getting angry and wanting to destroy the city and then destroying Alina's house, she was furious lol

Her interaction with the silver-haired guy is still my favorite part of the anime, the two of them are the opposite of each other causing a very funny effect in these two episodes. I'm enjoying this anime, I thought it would be a boring cliché but I'm wrong. This is pretty good🗣️

I don't really quite understand her motivations and stubbornness in wanting to continue as a guild receptionist. Looks like a pretty awful job to me. Everything she complains about is literally because of that job and she doesn't look like she enjoys it at all. She claims she doesn't want to work overtime and her solution to that is defeating bosses instead of quitting the job that continually leaves her with mountains of work. Surely just defeating the bosses and being an adventurer is way better of a job considering you are already doing it anyway. No overtime, and I bet the pay is very good too given she would be pretty much at the top.

Seems like I'm into a lot of anime people aren't into this season and am not into a lot that people are. I like Jade quite a bit, but I hate this trope of the MC who's completely disinterested in what's happening in the story and those around them outside of their particular thing. It gives me flashbacks to Arajin in that Bichigiri or whatever anime, where his only motivation throughout the story was getting into a girl's pants. That said, this anime is at least self aware that it's satire-like, but still. I'll continue watching, but I want to see some character development.

With a name like "Slay" he was doomed to villainy from the start.

I noticed a sound effect that played twice this episode, when Alina was sitting gloomily on the bench and then a few seconds later when Jade was moping on the floor, I remember it was used in Serial Experiments Lain and also quite a lot in Madlax as well, I'm curious what effects bundle it's from or what piece of equipment has it installed.

Yes, I agree. I like the way her two brain cells rub together. The fan service is nice and classy too, and combined with her grumpy attitude, it feels very rewarding and not overdone. I am looking forward to the upcoming episodes—this is one of my absolute favorites this season.

Yup. I wonder, if they have a mortgage system, then they must also have accidental destruction insurance or something.

Maybe the guild will help her rebuild it on some secret conditions for her to help them from time to time.

Trite references aside, another good episode. Our lovely slacker hero has been exposed...revealed...Ahem! Discovered. It looks like fate is determined to overturn her peaceful life.
After the crushing of her house, I thought that Jade would get her to join up. "You need money, right?"

no secret will remain a secret forever, especially if somebody has the skill to reverse time & find out certain things through that. and i doubt alina will be in trouble with the guild, the GM just wants to have a duel with her to test out her mettle lol

Alina's secret is finally revealed to some of the main cast!

I think it's little too early for this.

Maybe she will just join that Silver Sword party next episode.

Seeing how things goes, it can happen quickly!
I need somebody who can love me at my worst
No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth
'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first
And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst

If you stay forever, let me hold your hand
I can fill those places in your heart no else can
Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah
I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim

@Sheol01 she'll most definitely pass the test considering she has the Dia blessing/gift, and the GM didn't give off any menacing aura when he came up to her & told her to go to the guild HQ. i was thinking GM would even work his magic and get her to end up joining Jade's party lol

Another fun episode. 🥰
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Kind of want that dude to leave her alone, and there not to be a romance plot between them (but maybe won't be so lucky given the heavy heavy hinting).
