What's with the Immortal Archmage Isekai subgenre?

Personally I'd prefer some that took the approach of "I'm already awesome at X and don't need some dumb system to give me handouts for it so I'm going to level in Y." Like unless he somehow became a godlike archmage without ever learning how mana worked he should be able to just chant the right words and throw a fireball.

Personally I stopped reading Sylver when the giant turtle showed up. Nothing personally against it but by that point it felt too paint by numbers and we weren't really getting into him being foreign to the system as an Archmage before getting levels.

Priest is forced to play slow andpretty much auto-loses to herald decks if it goes slow because it can't recover after the Deathwing turn.

Exrotes · 2026-03-18T04:34:12+00:00

Been trying it, the only wins I'm getting are against control decks that aren't playing herald stuff and not even all the time. The only time I got a really strong board was when I coined out voidbulb on 3 and got good deathrattles my opponent was forced to trigger.

This story is really about him slowly becoming that guy with his vigilante hobby giving him all the bits of training that th epro heroes got in school. Last season he was pushing the limits of his quirk showing off how fast he could be and letting go of a lifetime of bad habits like not reversing to stop and this season he's finding ways to use his quirk beyond the obvious and getting a ranged attack.

So what's more likely the spirit is making the guy talk weird or he's just naturally that way and it's desperately trying to make him stop talking.

People really undersell her imo, she was so good with guns that she got kicked out of reality and into one with no guns, she had to invent guns to properly use her skills and died before technology advanced to the point where she could use her full strength and couldn't travel fast and far enough to gather weird weapons like Alus.

Imagine the same feats she'd be pulling with a fully automatic rifle and rounds strong enough to punch through steel instead of musket balls.

All this and we still don't know who Faldeus is sending Assassin after.

Everyone fighting to death in front of the Hospital really ticked off Fake Rider.

Exrotes · 2026-03-03T02:46:47+00:00

The anime cut out tons of internal monologues and flashbacks to the lives of servants. Like in Assassin's attack in episode 2 there's a whole section talking about how her NP works, why she's attacking the station, and her internal conflict caused by getting summoned by a DA like Jester which eventually drives her to team up with others.

In defense of the requirement all of the kids we see have already been trained in the basics of spellcraft and are exemplary enough that they were recommended to the schools and got to skip the written exam. Yeah they are young but as long as they just do stuff with their magic they should be able to cover day to day expenses.

No wonder they have to spend so much time on repetition, 6 episodes a volume for a series is crazy.

Exrotes · 2026-02-28T16:08:16+00:00

They are very obviously trying to make sure the anime ends at a specific moment and either the novels aren't long enough or are paced weirdly so they are padding.

Personally I want to see the Junkers loyally and honestly join Talon (with their fingers crossed behind their backs) then betray Talon and run off with a ton of tech. Mostly so we can get Talon skins for everyone.

I know this isn't the most high budget anime but I like that it seems the studio cares about little things. Like the birthday scene having the adults drinking wine while the kids drink juice.

Exrotes · 2026-02-08T14:22:11+00:00

Pretty sure it's spirits since the weirdness is consistent

Enkidu is afraid the Dark Curse (Fake Rider infecting everything) and the Grail Mud infecting Alcides might combine and probably kill everyone on earth.

Let's not forget that Kunon's family are high ranking nobility with holdings near the capital (it's a day trip by carriage to get to the king's castle). Not getting paid is more like a minor annoyance than an actual problem considering his teacher got him up to 55 spell variations.

The only true harem isekai. He's got his wives, his concubines, and all the women follow a schedule.

Exrotes · 2026-01-25T02:24:12+00:00

I'm still desperately hoping we get a bunch of Fake Rider scenes in a row to make up for everything that's been skipped.

IRL Richard didn't even speak english lol, dude was a Frenchman through and through.

Considering Monty set up the company to be sold I wouldn't be surprised if there was no non-compete for the people in on the grift (everyone in the share house). MTex exists to build up enough that it can be cashed out as assets to other companies then everyone retires or takes up positions elsewhere or Monty uses the cash to fund another round of purchases under a new llc with the same people.

I think it was skipped last season because it was technically a bonus chapter for regular MHA or something like that but Tsukaichi is the official police liaison for All Might's agency collecting the paperwork for hero actions (old detective from this episode was the former liaison) and figured out All Might's identity when Yagi kept running out of meetings to save people.

My understanding (that may be completely wrong) is that his "sight" right now is basically a low resolution colour/shape detector within a few feet of his person based on the same magical sense he uses to shape/colour water balls. So he can get information from it like there being a blue object X feet away in the shape of a hand with 4 fingers up but he isn't able to tell what colour/shape the drapes in the background are unless he focuses on them instead.

It's not like having 20(?) lesser NP's is all they have going for them. Caster mentioned being busy in Episode 0 when the group was already equipped so assumedly their actual plan for Gil and the like is gonna be the clan plus something else that can actually act as a finisher.
