Whoever decided to give megumin a hammer deserves a raise. What did everyone think on this one? See my full uncut live reactions to the episodes over on Patreon www.patreon.com/BrandonReviews
I did find it so funny that she thought she was Clark Kent in how she though she would be find without wearing a mask while doing work as her hidden identity lol
Finally an anime that gives flowers, in the form of a big ass hammer, to hardest working and often most forgotten person in all adventure shows, the guild receptionist
in the manga she just walked into the room with the dragon whacked it once with the hammer on the head... killed it and then prcceded to compleatly flatten the head cause she was so mad abaut the work she has to do xD
This was hilarious. Especially when she nearly brutalizes this adventurer for exposing her secret. The idea of a receptionist soloing a dungeon boss is insane yet funny. This is the second best first episode of everything I'm watching this season and my watchlist is stacked with good ones.
Once more, 100% agreed on all fronts. When Bro was like, "Anything I hold gets harder!", I was like, "No...just no!" I imagined if Kazuma was there he'd be like, "Wait, what! Bro, I'll give you my archpriest -who's great at water tricks- if you'll teach me that skill."
@@Draconic_Incenerator If "that's" can mean "that was," then check out "The Ossan Newbie Adventurer" - MC used to be a Guild receptionist before becoming an adventurer.
There is one ex-assassin in some novel that is probably best one with Hazure Skill in its name. Dude retired from professional murderer job after beating Demon Lord, wifing her up and deciding to live a 'normal' life.
Fine. I'll Do It Myself: The Anime So Alina would rather raid the dungeon on her off time than work overtime. Jade has a very good observation skils. Talking about Konosuba's reunion lol Rieri voicing an OP guild receptionist who is megumi and she’s the MC here not to mention she will also do VA for one of Rentoros girlfriends in 100 girldriends and she will have her own quirk.
10/10 first episode I was so hyped because Takahashi Rie is voicing the MC but I am very surprised with how good the anime actually was and adore it. Seriously this will be a good action comedy with some slice of life.
The MC is a psychopath; she lies to everyone, uses a false ID, murders a dragon for personal gain, and was even planning to kill someone to hide her secrets. She reminds me of Dexter-she even works with the "police" like he does. Interesting concept!
This lady needs to give pointers to Eina from Danmachi to help the poor elf get sanity from the crazy crap that happens to Bell. In all seriousness this new show looks like fun! I have not had a chance to watch anything new lately, your videos help me narrow down the flood of new anime out there per season.
If it wasn't for CloverWorks and the character of the Guild Receptionist this would probably be just a generic fantasy anime... but here we are - beautiful animation from one of the best studios in the business, and this Guild Receptionist is everything I wanted her to be when I first heard about this anime months back.
It say a lot about this world that smashing monsters is less dangerous to your health then filing paper work. But in all honesty this episode was great, lots of laughs, Rie Takahashi was bring the A game again. Also with the other receptionist girl who was swooning over Alina's secret identity sounds that sounds like some hijinks waiting to happen and i can't wait to see more
As someone who works in customer service, I can totally relate with Alina wanting to clock out on time. I'm the exact same way. I think I'm going to like this anime. 😂👍🏾
I already love this show. But first I got to say that the leader of the Silver swords is not that wise or smart. As what did he do when he learned that the person who did solo the boss. Want to keep a low profile and not be know, he goes up to her job and reveal that he knows her secret. And when she says to meet in a back alley to talk about the matter. Where she crush a relic by her bare hand as a way to threaten him. By showing him that she is way above him ledge and that he should shut up and forgot about everything about her. He continue to ask her to join his party, even after she threaten to end his life there and then. Which should have been obvious that this is probably the outcome he should have expected. So I can understand why Alina wanted to sue him for sexual harassment as he sure did not understand that no means no lol. With that out of the way I can understand why she does not want to work overtime. As I would also hate that and probably kill something just to blow off stream if I could lol
@@AHBrandonReviews Ai Kayano is actually voicing a character in "Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time", specifically that elf woman at the end of the second episode.
No complaints on the dragon here. I have seen 3D dragons that are straight up nightmare fuel so this one looked fine i might even say it had a cool design, but yeah im looking forward to what shenanigans this anime will bring next.
I have never felt more attuned with the energy given off by an anime protag more so than with this girl. That feeling of putting in more effort just to make sure you go home on time is way too relatable to me. Also as far as CG Dragons go I feel like this one wasn't half bad.
Been looking forward to this one for a long time. Same thing - I saw the manga and bought it purely based on the title. Liked it enough that I grabbed all three volumes that were out. So was really excited for this anime. Honestly, I think the anime did even better here too. Maybe it's the fact that it's actually animated and voiced but it feels even more fun than it was in the manga to me. I think actually being able to hear her swap between delightful guild receptionist and pissed off inner thoughts just makes it so much better. Looking forward to next episode. Since they haven't officially translated too many volumes of the manga yet I probably only have a head's up on like the first third of the season. It will be nice to see some of the volume 3 stuff actually resolved and find out what's going to happen without having to wait months :3
I've been looking forward to this since I saw the trailer. I thought the concept was great and that it was going to be hilarious. Sure enough, it delivers on all points. I love it so far, and Alina is definitely a fun mc. Looking forward to more!
It's awhile since I've seen an anime with more contrasting OP and ED than this one, if ever. Really looking forward to when we get to meet her good boi epic mount in-story.
You are spot on about the OP visual. I also felt like it was out of Studio Ghibli when she flew over the lake. The world also gives me a Final Fantasy vibe. This is going to be a fun ride ^_^
I wasent expecting much beyond simple turn off my brain chill watch but it ended up being hilarious and with Rie voice acting the mc its gonna be a great time. Its also a really fun concept.
Now that we got Hammergumin, can't wait for Darknessgumin (iykyk). There couldn't be a better anime to embodiment the meme of "Fine, I'll do it myself."
I was so excited for this, as I've read a bit of this, and I was worried it might be dislike like a couple other I really enjoy, so I am glad people are liking it too
The Op is cool, but man, that Ending... it broke into my mind and started taking my neurons hostage. Her narrow-minded mentality aside, her motivation is legit. Anyone who's ever suffered the "joy" of overtime... wants to go the Alina route and take a hammer to problems. This is my kind of series. Simple premise... straightforward MC... Megumin's VA... violence is the answer... The best to chill after a hard day of work (after clocking out on time, of course).
Oh, this one got an anime? Very nice. And yes, giving Megumin a hammer is probably something the people of this universe will regret sooner rather than later.
i read 3 of the light novels some things are different in the light novel for one everyone seems to refer to the excutioner as a woman but in the light novel they think the excutioner is male with the Junior receptionist the one with twin tails one being 'his' biggest fan and her having some steamy day dreams as she is working on her day to day job as a receptionist, but yes this and ojisan villaines are the new anime i have been looking forward too the most if they manage to nail the lore of the serries right then we are eating soooo bloody good
I did not care for the 3D dragon because of the rest of the episode. The 3D was the minority of the episode. The comedy is what got me. It had me laughing throughout the episode. It is a very fun show.
alina remains me of Satou from death march to the parallel world rhapsody all he wants to due is sightsee in the fantasy world he got isekai to but demon, demon lord worshippers and monster keep get in his way
I love this Anime and my only problems with it so far are just some nitpick that I have when conparing it to the manga. Opening wasn't great in my opinion but I love the ending.
I've not seen any source material, so the following is pure speculation on my part... (Also please, manga readers, do not confirm or deny my idea.) She is built soooo differently from everyone else in this world, including not knowing about the artifacts that the party leader mentions. So my speculation is that this is going to turn out to be a hidden Isakai. Guild receptionist will turn out to, at some point before the story began, have been brought over from the modern world. And that will turn out to be why she is so powerful.
Red Ranger Isekai episode 1 made me think even more that this one may be a hidden isekai. It played out a lot like episode 1 of this one in many ways, with the isekai being front and center. The Red Ranger is isekaied. Time jump to six months later and he's adapting to the fantasy world in which he finds himself. He still has all his Red Ranger powers, which are fairly broken for the nature of the fantasy world he is now in. The reactions of the person he finds himself with in the episode are very similar in ways to the reactions of the team leader in the receptionist anime. Obviously guild girl has some secret past for how she is so broken power wise. There are plenty of ways that could play out besides it being a hidden isekai, but isekai just fits so well with what little we know so far.
I read some of the manga early last year (before this anime was announced). It was interesting but I soon lost interest. Not sure If I'll pick this one up.
it was a Ok start to a show but I honestly expect this one to simply fall off after a couple of weeks, the animation looks pretty standard, the MC is ok but I feel it could just be one of those series where its fun to watch, yet you pretty much forget about when its over and done with!

this got me laughing . i can wait for the next episode to see jixn she gets in .
I did find it so funny that she thought she was Clark Kent in how she though she would be find without wearing a mask while doing work as her hidden identity lol
By the Power of Akane!!! [hammer appears from nowhere]😆🤣
Finally an anime that gives flowers, in the form of a big ass hammer, to hardest working and often most forgotten person in all adventure shows, the guild receptionist

Rieri voicing an OP guild receptionist and she’s the MC!?
That’s more than enough reasons for me to watch lol

Kazuma WAS there. Jun Fukushima (Kazuma's seiyuu) is the guy who ran into the muscled skeleton guy.
This is a really clever concept. Cant think of any other OP Guild Receptionist
If you're looking for another OP Guild Receptionist, there's also "Lola Metrose" from the anime "The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter".
Cant think of any other Guild rep thats a MC.
@@Draconic_Incenerator If "that's" can mean "that was," then check out "The Ossan Newbie Adventurer" - MC used to be a Guild receptionist before becoming an adventurer.

10/10 first episode
I was so hyped because Takahashi Rie is voicing the MC but I am very surprised with how good the anime actually was and adore it. Seriously this will be a good action comedy with some slice of life.
She's been going at it solo for so long, but home boy here believes she'll join his party
He for sure is not taking a no for an answer lol
@didsva he really isn't
The MC is a psychopath; she lies to everyone, uses a false ID, murders a dragon for personal gain, and was even planning to kill someone to hide her secrets. She reminds me of Dexter-she even works with the "police" like he does. Interesting concept!
She also destroyed a relic ^_^;;;
@@Neloish this is what you get for messing up peoples lives by being a butthole in the workplace.....
But she cannot hide her secret forever, finally everyone finds out.
Rie on a roll this season. From a guild receptionist to a certain girl in 100 Kanojo Season 2.
This girl's mood changes is hilarious and RIe is killing her role.
Arina doing anything for clocking out on time was hilarious to watch 🤣
I like this show a lot already 😂

Some really great new show premieres today, I found both this one and the elf in Japan show to be a lot of fun.
As someone who works in customer service, I can totally relate with Alina wanting to clock out on time. I'm the exact same way. I think I'm going to like this anime. 😂👍🏾
Yeah it does very movie like her flying is really amazing made me feel like heavy metal cause I’m old
Nothing wrong with being old, I'm right there with you, lol.
When she channels her power and the hammer appears out of nowhere; 'I thought by the sweet fluffy anime gods, she has the power of Akane!!'
the nickname they gave her is the funniest part
I already love this show. But first I got to say that the leader of the Silver swords is not that wise or smart. As what did he do when he learned that the person who did solo the boss.

So Megumi is back and Aqua is back
i need dakness VA doing some unhinged shit too
@@AHBrandonReviews agreed
@@AHBrandonReviews Ai Kayano is actually voicing a character in "Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time", specifically that elf woman at the end of the second episode.
Wait she is a Tinkaton! That never crossed my mind! 😂
The definition of "I'm about to end this mans whole career"...
No complaints on the dragon here. I have seen 3D dragons that are straight up nightmare fuel so this one looked fine i might even say it had a cool design, but yeah im looking forward to what shenanigans this anime will bring next.
Glad I'm not the only one who got ghibli movie vibes from that intro
Hood was meant to disguise her in a dark room with a lot if shades.where guys should not be able to see her clearly enough from dozens of metres away.
A hood is never cover if you don't want to be seen
I have never felt more attuned with the energy given off by an anime protag more so than with this girl.
That feeling of putting in more effort just to make sure you go home on time is way too relatable to me.
Also as far as CG Dragons go I feel like this one wasn't half bad.
Nanami clock out hours😂
Don’t matter which fantasy it is, *the receptionist is ALWAYS the final superboss!*
When you want a job doing properly...

Fantastic. Already 10/10.
Honestly the whole set would be complete if we got Darkness and Kazuma VA apear as well. The animation really reminded me Ousama Ranking anime.
Kazuma appeared at the very end of the episode actually, the dude yelling at the other receptionist
The final boss is really her co-workers who push all their work onto poor Alina.
I've been looking forward to this since I saw the trailer. I thought the concept was great and that it was going to be hilarious. Sure enough, it delivers on all points. I love it so far, and Alina is definitely a fun mc. Looking forward to more!
She is the Guild Receptionist in the grieving soul in Another Universe. When krai rejected her to join first step, she started solo the boss.
It's awhile since I've seen an anime with more contrasting OP and ED than this one, if ever. Really looking forward to when we get to meet her good boi epic mount in-story.
I like the art style and animation, I think I’m gonna enjoy this one.
You are spot on about the OP visual. I also felt like it was out of Studio Ghibli when she flew over the lake. The world also gives me a Final Fantasy vibe.
This is going to be a fun ride ^_^
I just finished the first LN and I can say for sure this’ll be a treat
The OP of the show gave me serious studio ghibli vibes
I wasent expecting much beyond simple turn off my brain chill watch but it ended up being hilarious and with Rie voice acting the mc its gonna be a great time. Its also a really fun concept.
Now that we got Hammergumin, can't wait for Darknessgumin (iykyk). There couldn't be a better anime to embodiment the meme of "Fine, I'll do it myself."

this anime reminds me of the one video from Viva La Dirt League about The problem with going DPS particually the when the dps harrass the bodyguard
This series is my most anticipated season.
im a little sad. i've already ready the manga/novel for most of this season.. at least i'll have time to stay caught up
I read the manga for this one, you're in for a wild ride!
Absolutely loved it, 10/10 would Smash (with that hammer) again.
At least we know what the Mc’s favorite Monster Hunter weapon is the HAMMER! 👀👀👀
I can't wait to watch this 😂
The Op is cool, but man, that Ending... it broke into my mind and started taking my neurons hostage.

Guild Receptionist was super cute.
Oh, this one got an anime? Very nice. And yes, giving Megumin a hammer is probably something the people of this universe will regret sooner rather than later.
She is like Yuki from alya hide her feelings in Russian
I think we can all understand her hatred of overtime.
Correction: unpaid overtime. If I'm getting paid extra, I'm willing to work overtime.
I read the manga to this before it became a anime and I remember something’s but it’s really good

😂 at least take a lesson from Gale Wind girl! It’s a good romp while the Danmachi crew gets it together. Blind watch too fun
Thanks for the great vidio's. Unrelated ishura s2 came out about 2 days ago.
Makes sense to me. I'd do it too.
Yeah I don’t need to say anything but I love this anime and I enjoyed it a lot. This was a great first episode and i definitely want more.
Stark from Frieren got competitor in terms of soloing a dragon
alina remains me of Satou from death march to the parallel world rhapsody all he wants to due is sightsee in the fantasy world he got isekai to but demon, demon lord worshippers and monster keep get in his way
New waifu unlocked!! Can't wait to see more of this
It was sketchy, up until the back alley meeting. Think I'll stick around
