Yomu Writes About Anime
We’ve gotten to the finale of Arifureta, with a bit of buildup from last episode. The isekai class had found themselves in a pinch when a powerful demon began summoning monsters and attacking them – one classmate escaped, found Hajime at the local adventurers guild, and managed to make it back in time.
I think it’s pretty clear what will happen next!
Well, last episode was something else. Not the saddest arc ending, but definitely the most climactic and unexpected in many ways. But we must move forward! Tomoyo is now the student council president, so let’s see where things go with the theatre club.
Last episode Kurumi helped Shido bust into the DEM Industries headquarters in an attempt to save Tohka. Enemy robots were dispatched, and Kurumi left to take care of them. Mana showed up and was quickly challenged by someone, leaving Shido to find Tohka on his own.
Last episode followed Asa and we saw more of her feelings for Rin, and this episode features another girl with similar feelings…
It’s textbook… too textbook.
It’s textbook… only worse.
At the very least it is a case of being behind the times, I’d say. With the influx of isekai anime over the last few years, just checking all of the boxes isn’t enough anymore. If anything, the number of boxes that need checking has increased, but unfortunately Isekai Cheat Magician didn’t get the updated list.
Still, it’s an anime, and it does check some boxes.
Last episode Nagisa got sick, and Okazaki decided to help Tomoyo in her bid for student council president in order to work towards the formation of the theatre club. Okazaki’s help ended in him taking the fall for a fight outside the school gates on Tomoyo’s behalf…
Last episode Hajime and friends destroyed a gang in some city, and ended up adding a little mermaid girl to their party. What’s next on this roller-coaster adventure?
