This show is really good, but it has one glaring flaw: The OP implies this is going to be a show about textures, yet the rest of the show is by no means Gankutsuou.

I don't think anybody has the balls to be another Gankutsuou.

"You're the best looking guy here."
Just finished episode two. I was really annoyed this group couldn't kill one Gob, then felt really uneasy watching them slowly, awkwardly kill it.

And in any other show, I'd be annoyed watching a day long montage take up that much time in an episode. But with this show, after that fight, it felt really nice. We just kept looking at all the backgrounds and colors they used, I didn't mind that nothing was really happening.

Just binge watched up to the newest episode. I love that Ranta is basically Taro from Shirobako.

But, yeah, the healer is totally going to die. He's a non-protagonist party leader and we've had lines like "You're what keeps our party together" and such.

Slow in what way? The technique demonstrations? The moments? Not sure what slow means? The switch to ED-style drawing in that one part was interesting.

I can't believe that the blue goblin is such an interesting and intimidating antagonist even though we'll probably never see him again, I think that's my favourite thing about the action in this episode. The mere fact alone that he was displaying proper swordsmanship makes him immediately intimidating and establishes him excellently.

gently caress that was a good episode.

Based on the preview for next week looks like they correctly waste no time getting a new healer, interested to see how the characters grow from here.

Did feel they could have dialled back the death-flags a little, though. 'Oh well, I can ask him another time' was pretty on-the-nose as it was, and then they followed it up with '... or so I thought'. Kind of killed some of the suspense in that ambush sequence, which was a shame, as it would have otherwise have been pretty suspenseful and shocking. LN overwriting strikes again, I guess.

Healer dead, called it

...not that anyone didn't see it coming

Whelp, in any case, that was a fantastic episode. Pretty much the best so far. I really liked all the different reactions to Manato's death - should be even more interesting next episode. And, hey, the other party showed up again, I'm curious what they have to say about all this...
Also, seconding that the goblins were great. It's nice what this show is doing to give them character, like the dude reloading his crossbow with his feet, goblin leader kicking big dude, and so on. I wonder if they're gonna have our protag's awesome dagger when they encounter them again. (And MAN I hope they do)

Unrelated: sure glad that this show didn't go the "trapped in MMO" route, because what kind of poo poo-tier MMO doesn't have revival
