We might have Anime of the season on our hands Fam! Great first Episode!

[@VinayakGupta08_]

Couldn't agree more, I even read the manga before they should make it weekly release.

[@KaldyrDGreat]

ppls continue hxh reactions

[@ART3MIS_1904]

Anime of the season? - Nope, it should be My Deer Friend Nokotan 🦌🦌

[@ItsMeCrist]

can't agree if nokotan is airing too

[@Jason-wt2rx]

@@StruckByBelz this is from the same author of "Is It Wrong To Pickup Girls In A Dungeon?" which is also a peak anime/light novel with 4 seasons already! If you can, please make reaction videos for it too! 😁

[@sirhawk705]

Fun fact the director of this anime was also the director of the Black Clover anime

[@sci-fiknight8084]

The author is doing danmachi. One of my favorite fantasy anime.

[@8ooty0]

bro literally carried that anime on his back. hopefully he comes back cuz his schedule is booked until 2028

This anime MC is lucky. Despite not having magic, he as awesome sword skills and strength, not to mention his ice waifu waiting for him up in the tower

[@Salvador-312]

This anime is definitely getting slept on! The animation is beautiful not just in the combat but in every single scene dude. It’s director is the chainsaw man director, the guy who made the my hero academia soundtrack is on it as well, pair that with beautiful animation and you got a hidden gem right here.

[@doodoowater7863]

unfortunately the story is lacking 😭😭

[@hsyer5314]

Yoshihara Tatsuya was the Action Director on Chainsaw Man, and the Series Director of Black Clover.

[@badfreed1512]

wait till you see the future fights animation would be god tier and he has magic will haven't discovered it yet

[@BraveAce]

The director is one of the most respected individuals in the industry right now with a lot of connections. Same person who directed Black clover and was the Chainsaw man action director. The production should be consistent especially since it’s just 12 episodes.

[@gobtathegoat6241]

As a manga reader, I say you're in on a great ride. You can say it has the same concept as Black Clover and Mashle but it is unique on its own. This one is amazing

[@HeavenlyDemonicEmperor]

Indeed

[@jarag23]

YESSSSS ! Let fulfill the Mercedes contract shall we!

[@MarvyG23]

Definitely sold on this one. The premise is interesting enough, and that art and animation are *chef’s kiss*.

[@dewantasneem1464]

Yo another anime I think you guys should give a try is Elusive Samurai. Great first episode. Fire art and animation. I think the story has a lot of potential as well.

[@shadowwordpain3138]

Puck, the World Ender, Great Spirit of Ice, The Frozen Apocalypse, The Herald of The End of Life Belz: "That pet from Re: Zero" Subaru: "So cute and fluffy!!!"

[@LoneWolf20213]

oh I was close, I though his name was Pip

[@RedDevilAxel]

Only one correction, Puck is the "Great Spirit Of Fire, not "Ice".

[@innerflow5556]

My Back😂… felt that hit through the phone

[@dreiiisol]

next, elusive samurai 🙏🏻

[@doreentan5867]

This one should react this 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 It’s like Vinland saga

[@Dotfye]

This one is the real contender of anime of the season

[@sirhawk705]

Asta's tall and skinny counterpart 😂

[@calebstephan2083]

Mc for this is actually ripped and jacked under the clothing.

[@Jason-wt2rx]

This is from the author of Dammachi too! Which I think you also need to watch! Danmachi is an anime that is being slept on!

[@oglionel]

Bro, the art and animation (like Belz always says 😂) was straight 🔥🔥🔥 I’m hoping that keeps up and of course hopefully the story is good the whole season 🙏🏼

[@StoryTime21155]

That animation is smooth like butter babe 🧈 😂😂

[@JayUchiha7]

That was the craziest pause I’ve heard all year😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@trilljordz]

ngl anime of the season is crazy 😭it looks nice though, the art and animation is insane.

This is how you come! This is how you come!!! Most epic lines ever said. Thank you

We are living in the best era

Literally black clover with mashle school and the kid theme of kaiju #8 Kafka standing next to mina

[@worldpeace2764]

Such a good reaction video!

[@PainfulSin]

Another journey to partake in i cant wait for more episodes

[@ragnarr8321]

i thought exactly the same as you, there's a frieren vibe, and at times i couldn't explain it, but the animation, the osts, but above all the shots, oh my god, it's magnificent!

[@ragnarr8321]

and danmachi vibe of course

[@Rin_3680]

Y'all are in for a ride, I recently caught up with the manga and goddamn. Shit is gonna real once they animate the later chapters 🔥🔥🔥

[@chrisbreezy2748]

THIS IS HOW YOU COME‼️ (No diddy)

[@vincentdeluca4485]

This show is a mashup of all the best parts of Mashle, Black clover and Danmachi and i'm here for it. Getting the same vibes i got when i first started Frieren, Made in Abyss, MHA, etc. Its got a lot of heart put into this first ep and if its any indication of how they handle the rest of the season it feels like its gonna be an experience Also the credits of the first ep usually use the intro song. The Intro song is also GAS

[@ConnerKent08]

This show is gonna be crazy good

[@yozodiak]

I appreciate you guys so much man, yall react to everything we request and not many channels do the same. Just wanna show some gratitude and respect and say thank you!

[@snowbunny_naval3397]

Welcome to hands down one of the top stories in manga, from the characters to the plot to even the villains 🎉

[@whiskeypatt1569]

y'all made me watch it before checking your reaction, best decision ever. Animation is ridiculous.

elusive samurai is also really good

Tatsuya Yoshihara (Black Clover) knew what he was doing when he became the director of this... We're going to witness what Black Clover could have looked like this season.

[@YellinInMyEar]

Yup, this and The Elusive Samurai came out of nowhere for me this past weekend too. I was just curious and watched them. Wow amazing.

[@jprince4927]

Dude Belz said animations like 17 times man 😂

Finally 🔥🔥

Elusive is really good and this ones sick too

[@tristian778]

Yo thanks 🙏🏽 for real y’all then put me on 💯😌 this anime looks amazing

[@Redaku418]

This one is nice I like it quite a bit

[@SakugaObscurious]

The studio doesn't have all that much of an effect on the show, it's the staff that matters. If you do want to know, it's a collab between ACTAS and BamCo, both are subsidiaries of Sunrise (Gundam studio). C2C is helping out on the side too.

[@guchangge233]

Perfect 😍😍

[@smirg2975]

11/10 episode (for the animation)🔥🔥🔥 YOU'LL GOTTA CHECK OUT THE ELUSIVE SAMURAI ASWELL‼️

[@kingslaughter1425]

This anime has been amazing so far love the animation! I just hope the story changes somewhat it seems like a repeated plot of someone with no magic in a magic world and wanting to stand by someone’s side (like kaiju #8) still have high hopes!

[@sabog999]

dont worry he has a magic but different kind of magic .i dont want to spoil but if they animate that majestic fight from the manga(i am sure it will cover in this season) you will know what kind of magic he has.

[@CrossriderBankai23]

I'm very happy you guys are watching this one. I'm so impressed with this animation, this is like Attack on Titan with WIT Studios, and even better, JJK is the most beautiful anime in terms of animation I have seen, then Chainsaw Man, but this one beautiful everywhere wtf 😂😅 the author of this manga might be feeling extremely happy right now 😅

[@Rudeuslul]

Ngl I thought this was gonna be a boring season for anime but The Elusive Samurai and Wistoria literally saved me. Hopefully it doesnt fall downhill like you said lol

[@divinemusa8731]

Zom 100 has my favorite first episode but this came close

[@thiagopereira9045]

Really cool anime

This anime is amazing but also check out elusive samurai its really goood toooooo

[@Luffymynika11]

This show blew me away with its fluid animation, smart use of CG in some shots, and that 90s kind adventurous feel. And even a Male MC that isn't boring AF? sign me up!

[@Voslaarum0]

Loved the reactions!! Also, when bocchi the rock??

[@excadribur]

i would love that you react the Fate saga 🥹 This new anime looks awesome btw

10/10 first ep for me

[@maxhunter9821]

Hey guys need to watch Ranga crimson it a very good anime I think u might like it ❤❤

[@4eyesdomain882]

They must have a huge budget if the animation is already this good on the first episode... 💪 I hope they don't burn their budget for the entire season.. 🔥😰

[@Voyagingthroughfantasies23]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="818">13:38</a> this is nothing like frieren 😂

Mashle: But Serious

[@LimaoAzedo536]

For me it was a great first episode, I agree with the 10/10 !

[@immortalphoenix4618]

I literally watched a hour long Manga recap of this yesterday I didn't even know they were making an anime perfect timing for me fr if u want the Manga recap vid let me know

[@strenyer90]

The elusive samurai maybeee high level production! please react 🙏

[@laurentroy9788]

the scene looks a lot like that of bell vs minautor

[@lonrea2886]

animation is top tier

[@TheKunaimaster]

I'm pretty sure Kiki is a Carbuncle, not a cat.

[@pllslol2351]

You guys gonna react to DandaDan in fall season just curious

[@HeavenlyDemonicEmperor]

One of my favorite manga man sucks it's like a monthly release kind of manga but hopefully it gets it's treatment it needs

[@FianMoon]

Steph asking what days the episodes come out 😂 I can already tell this anime will fill the hole that Black Clover's anime left!

[@nightsxgames]

I give anime and tv shows 3 episodes.... 3 chances to catch my attention. Most decent ones can by the 3rd introduce enough to keep my interest and help me get attached to the characters. Few manage this in ep1 - This anime managed to pull me in, make me interested in the character, the animation is top notch, etc... 10/10 opening ep - one of my favorite introductions (without cheating - I'm looking at you Oshi No Ko - making E1 an actual movie lol) I am invested 1000%. I can't wait to see where this goes.

[@arruhunahya7593]

Mash: His body is actually a "Magic" itself Asta: Anti Magic Will: He also has something other than brute strength, i'm not gonna spoil it tho, but its something that set him apart from both

[@volthaba]

yea, mel its gonna be Lucia in gta 6, right? its okay gys, u can tell now 🤣🤣

[@yokochris9459]

What this got a anime 😱 . The manga is peak story

[@frankbryant-qz2sz]

Have you seen Josie, the tiger and the fish?

[@hyperxjourney5837]

You should watch Danmachi as well, youd enjoy it, got a wicked story!

[@MsDark93]

The big difference is that compared to other shows, this one is serious. And dark. It's not a comedy like Mashle, nor does it have a ridiculous protag like Asta. This one *is* dark, including very graphic violence and all. I'm surprised it was consider a seinen.

[@RandomPerson-uw1oo]

Yea, although similar concept to Asta and Mash, just like how those 2 are still different from each other with few similarities, that's also the case here too, it's not too similar. Below here is spoilers... He actually does have magic, his the sword mage. The kind that uses magic using his sword as a base, but he doesn't know he can do that in the anime yet so he will use only sword for awhile. From what I read, it looks like his the only sword mage in the world too, so he pretty much invented it. How his magic work is that he can turn himself into any element, like ice, fire, and lightning. Only one elemental transformation at a time though of course. And he seem to not be as op as Mash nor Asta (atleast not yet), but his also smarter, he does become very strong after learning how to use magic, just not at the strongest level like the other 2 if that make sense since he can't negate other magic like Asta, Mash is all pure muscle with logic that doesn't make much sense, Asta can negate other magic and obtain power from the demon inside himself which also includes flight, and here his a sword mage that can wield any element by using his sword as a wand to transform himself. Another cool factor is unlike alot of other supernatural school out there where the entire adventure takes place when they are still in school, in here the MC actually graduate and start going on another adventure which I thought was pretty cool. This anime also seems to be abit darker than the other 2 too based on the manga I read. So there you go, this manga seem to be only monthly though unlike the other 2, so the story won't progress as much which also mean it'll take that much longer for the new season to come out sadly, but that also mean the author can think about what to write next in the next chapter more, it doesn't mean it'll be that much better since it just depends on the mind of the author but it does help. Lol XD

[@mirwajahat7955]

If you are watching this anime there is anime similar to it,not to much similar just a little bit it is danmachi you guys will love it

[@JohnPaul-rs5dr]

This first episode was straight fire. The animation was amazing. I hope the rest of the season is like that as well.

[@VinayakGupta08_]

Spoiler, the story is going to be fire with many challenges and trials waiting for him. One of the best with great potential to become a great anime!
