      Well that's not how I envisioned Amande. Looked more like Beltrant to me, and that's what I thought it was in the trailer. Also... where was Rio getting the hay for his shelter? I thought it was suppose to be made of fresh branches. ....and did that letter to Celia seriously have a stamp and postmark? And his reception at the Ricca guild was a little excessive in terms of the scenes showing them walking around the store.... ...whatever /nitpicking

      My talking sword has a point. And is also right.

        The weirdest part in the 4th episode is on their way to the Spirit Folk Village they passed by Burning Lava Hell and Freezing Ice Hell. Weren't they in a giant forest called the Wilderness? Where the hell did those came from? In the book, they just went in the forest and kept going east and followed the giant tree.

          @bartzbb There was some mountainous badlands where they fought the lizardfolk and flight of demi-dragons, but there was definitely no frozen lake. At least they made the point that "some time has passed".

            Maybe they got isekai'd a few times in the cut scenes? I'm beginning to think they got a potato for the animation budget.

            Also when did Liselotte turn into a tiny loli?

              That at least makes sense; she's only 11 right now. (Rio is 12 and Latifa not quite 10... and Celia is ~17)
              ...except honestly she (and Rio) looks way too tall to be 11 (and 12); he's not even a head shorter than that chef at the beginning (even with him leaning slightly), and Liselotte's only a few inches shorter.
              ...or apparently five feet is about average for 12-year-old boys? Huh...

                After seeing this last episode of the anime, I want to see Latifa’s reunion with Stewart. Yet, that is a long ways off.

                    I doubt we get any kind of revenge unless Stewart start messing with Latifa again. Stewart must be a colossal idiot if he starts messing with the adoptive little sister of the black knight.

                    The best we can hope for is that Latifa's identity gets revealed and the duke start sweating bullets.

                        That's disturbing and feels really wrong. And yet still a satisfying end for all his scheming.

                              Hell will freeze over and heaven split asunder before author will let protagonist get hitched. Even more unlikely is a harem ending.

                                @zing I'm pretty sure Rio is strong enough to singlehandedly cause both of those events... whether he's strong enough to avoid getting hitched is still up in the air.

                                  Ok so I finally watched the anime, thank you @Lex for the recommendation, and I have to say, it’s not all that bad. It doesn’t have any pacing issues, and generally keeps to the big bits of the story. My only issue is they kinda gloss over the whole Fever dream miharu thing and explaining spirit arts but, I don’t know if that’s knit picky of me.

                                  What I will say though is that the anime really reminds you that the Beltrum kingdom are a bunch of fun assholes, I was watching and could only think to myself “wow FUCK these people” and to think Haruto just saved them from sheer collapse. Now I’m here hoping that after the slumber party and short reprieve for our vengeance seeker, he just said to those people that he really doesn’t want anything to do with them, because I for sure wouldn’t piss on any of them if they were on fire in the side of the road (except Flora because she really did try her best, Christina also might get a pass, I haven’t calmed down enough yet).

                                    It isnt, but it seems par for the course lately that great series are rendered 'just okay' by cutting the things we'd normally expect to see in it, removed.

                                    They've done it with a few series I've looked forward to over the last couple years.

                                      I guess coming from reading the light novels, which contain all the smallest details it seems like a drop of the vast bucket of story. I will say though, that once the story reaches the point in which it really slows down the anime will probably seem on par, seeing as how later in the story only a bunch of minor things that, if skipped, really wouldn’t take away from the story.

                                        Personally, it feels like they are rushing it to me, especially if you compare it to some of the other series this season (like Realist Hero - we're a good portion of the way through vol.2 in five SG episodes, yet barely half way through vol.1 in the same for RH). RH has its own issues though. >.>

                                        That isn't to say there are actually noticible pacing issues - the anime does seem to flow well enough, and I'd probably struggle to point out anything they have skipped that is particularly significant - it just feels like they are pushing through things way too quickly compared to what I am used to with anime adaptations of LNs.

                                          Well feasibly speaking there are 16 volumes of content to get through for SG compared to 14 volumes of RH. While that doesn’t seem like to much, SG has a few areas where skipping things doesn’t really hurt the the story to much where as the first 5 volumes of RH really have a lot of important things (to me) that feel like it left out would make the story more confusing. That is not to say that they’re both perfect, the is a few flaws that I would like addressed, one being SG explaining a few more things and exploring character a little more, but I don’t expect that to be realistic for an anime.

                                          Also anyone else run into that feeling of being a picky connoisseur of anime because you read the LN’s? Like I feel like I enjoy anime less if I have read the LN first, one example was Arifurta. I really enjoyed the books but when it comes to the anime, I was just so uninterested that I couldn’t even finish it.

                                            Perhaps, but anime usually tends to adapt 3-4 volumes into a single cour, and SG is feeling like it'll end up closer to six (or more). It might slow down a bit, and it might just be my own view of things, but that is how it feels to me - hence, 'rushed'.

                                            Also anyone else run into that feeling of being a picky connoisseur of anime because you read the LN’s?

                                            To be fair, the Arifureta anime changed so much that it isn't really a good idea to try and compare the two. I actually saw the anime first, which then led me to pick up the novels, and I far prefer the novels - the anime adaptation was really poorly done, IMO.
