season 3 is going to be the "retcon and flashback from hell" arc. Because the animaters cut so much critical content from season 1. they skiped through FOUR whole novels to make season one, and one of the arcs they cut out that plays a HUGE part of the next chapter right after this season is the Verbgarden arc. the kingdom of the beastmen.......... Lets just say bad things happen and Hajimes Trained force of Monty Python Rabits play a huge role in the next 2 books! and so much was cut out that things WILL NOT make any sence with out flashbacks and retcons!
@@katcorot well if it’s anything like the previous OVAs, it will just be a recap of certain events we’ve already seen with commentary by Hajime’s harem. So worth seeing, but not exactly what I was hoping for. That and it being an OVA basically makes the release date hard to pin down.
"This display of savage brutality was really just his way of showing how much he cared for her." Usually how it goes. Love and Hate, REAL hate anyway, are on different sides of the same coin, and one leads to the other more often then not.
The last two episodes were amazing. I kinda wish the anime would take the same gory approach as the manga does. I would have love to see Hiyama getting beat senseless, but that’s why we have your video. Keep up the good work
I think his fate in the LN was even better. nothing like actually surviving that kick and making it 3 full city blocks after all that abuse......... WHILE GETTING EATEN ALIVE............ to make for a Just end for such a scumbag............... I hope those poor monsters didn't get stumic cramps from eating such garbage.............
I think the arm shotgun thing is the coolest thing hajime owns and the fact I couldn’t see it in the anime directly puts a frown on my face so deep, that hajime couldn’t even see the bottom even with how edgy and deep he is
I thought at one point in the novels, that Hajime actually thought about sparing Hiyama but after seeing how he had no sympathy for his actions and saying he'd kill him right to Hajime's face he had no choice but to kill him. Which I'm glad he did. Loved the series and love the whole show.
@@aaronhollermann9831 oh absolutely, because the anime unfortunately has a lot of skipped content so it's great to get a better understanding of the series
Given everything you're saying about Eri's plan they could've done a at least 3 or 4 episodes setting this up, with Flashbacks & Flashforwards. But as usual The Anime isn't given enough Episodes to use all the source material.
the real tragity is what they did to relegate Suzu's painful reaction to Eri's betrayal to being just another background event. It the LN this event devastates her. after all, Eri was to Suzu what Kaori is to Shiziku. And this puts her into a complete mental break down!
Your right! In season 1 episode 12 When the Demon show up and offer them to switch side naturally They refuse, but It was Eri and Hiyama who try to convince the team to take up her offer
That laser was just him saying he was done fighting for the kingdom and just straight up destroying every monster, heck, every being in the area, short of the one they were in. He knew his own team would protect themselves, and the only reason he didn't aim the laser was put of respect for Kaori.
In the LN he survives that kick, and makes it 3 full city blocks....... while getting eaten piece by piece by the monsters attacking the city before he finally dies.
Arifureta has got to be one of my favorite stories right up there with Danmachi and Shield hero. The novels are so packed with action and details that its low quality anime makes me want to cry. Some of the best scenes in the books came off as down right cheesy on the screen.
Yeah, seeing the low quality of the first season of Arifureta and the FUCKING SECOND SEASON of Danmachi made me mental boom so hard I quit anime until very recently
I agree with the comment above that the ANIME is bad because of it's animation and pacing but the NOVEL is where it's at. Arifureta's story is the underrated aspect to the series
@@ZhaoDrek But the story is original in is way. In most isekai, the "heros" are willing to kill everything to defend the kingdom. Without taking a single minute to ask themselve if they are fighting for the go side.Pure garbage is like the serie "86". A bad story with bad animation.
They will have to RETCON the SHIT out of what season 1 did to do it right. They SKIPPED all most the Entire Verbgarden arc in book 2! the characters they meet. the bearman chief getting his arm broken by Hajime. The slaughter of the bearman clan at the hands of the new "Monty Python" Ninja Rabbits" so much is going to have to be done to make seance to anime onlys!
also, The Clan's BEST moment comes later after Hajime takes the princess to meet the emperor! :) that whole chapter was epic as hell. Also, IF the Anime does not give Shea full epic budget on her "team rocket" moment Im'a gona be pissed!
This was a satisfying scene to see animated. I hope we get more seasons of this series. This season gets us up to Vol 6 and with 13 being the final Vol i could see us finishing in 2-3 more seasons. Vol 7,8,9 being a season then 10/11 and 12/13 being a season would probably be the best. At the very least i think if anyone does enjoy this series they should pick up the LN for it. On a small side not it feels like a lot of great Isekai are finally all ending. it's kinda sad lol. Arifureta, Mushako tensei, kunosuba, just to name a few. i hope they all get more seasons so we can see them in all their glory.
Then do you know that the WN for Arifureta is still continuing as an after story. It’s not really organized greatly as the author releases it when he can but it’s pretty much whole new adventures
I think 7,8 and some part of 9 should be a season 3. 9,10 labyrinth part should be a movie and then 11, 12, 13 should be season 4 if it got this adaptation then it will be awesome
This episode made my heart pounding like crazy. I loved how Hajime made short work of all enemies plans to dust only leaving them a wounded sense of pride (at least what I thought of the situation).
Hyperion is the capital ship James Raynor took from Arcturus Mengsk in Starcraft. And there is also a quite old scifi book of the same, that I think it was what gave inspiration to the Starcraft's name. Got love and hate that I know stuff like this from the top of my head. Also, Hyperion, in starcraft, is a battlecruiser, and thus have access to a weapon called Yamato Cannon. Which is a big ass 'fuck you' energy "beam".
SPOILER Rest in Peace Meld, you were a real man, and mentor. Also I was writing this while at the beginning of the video and wow, what an entrance for an AD XD
That Fried guy has no shame, getting clapped every encounter which he planned for his side to have an advantage. Enjoyed Yue redirecting his sneak attack back at his rear guard. Then wrecking his turtles which in a D&D system probably has 99% resistance and chance to redirect, Yue just do what Hajime does, wreck them with overwhelming firepower.
Arifureta is one of the Three animes that I can say started my dive into my Light novel collection. Besides the reunion and the introduction of Remia, Myu's mother, this episode was the one I was waiting on. Hajime is not a revenge mission he is on a one to find a way home he just gets revenge as added bonus. Hajime warn Hiyama to stay out of his way and in the LN it shows way more of how he bullied Hajime for getting Kaori's attention before Hajime gained power in the castle and the school. This scene was worth watching it and hoped it animated the monsters ripping Hiyama apart.
a lot of people called this trash in the first season, because of the poor animation but it really redeemed itself this time with a much better story than most of the the other isekai this season. i really like Hajime's fashion sense wearing a waistcoat, his no shits give attitude and actually getting his waifu to bed unlike other MC's...... and i like Shea's boobs
Aye the boobas are nice and yes hajime is at least a man, he was a little shy at first but once he had yue in S1 he was ultra chad and got his wick wet lol also unlike other harem he loves all the girls sure he does favour yue but he does not neglect the others he has relations with them all aswell which also other harem seem to sjy away from. Here have. Harem but only girl lol. Another good fantasy ecchi is testament of new sister devil 👻👻👻
@@ayatoshirokami3045 yeah but as you have read them, you know they went for the action rather then story as was the trend back then, however mushoko tensi, had now proven there is a market to tell the story, its not perfect thats for sure but if they had done 24 eps in s1 arifueta would be among the best of all time. 👍😁
Likewise! I've read almost everything about on the official fandom wikia website, too. And I go back to the website almost every day for little bit within my spare time. But, I've been wondering, where can I find the light novels and start binge-reading them like I've been doing with the manga???
The thing I like about Hajime that puts him my top 5 Fantasy/ isekai MC is that he's not easily swayed by threats used as bargaining chips. There's no talk no jutsu, we could've been friends, or I understand you speech, once you're an enemy, only pain and death awaits.
believe me, after the whole hoelscher empire insurrection arc, they are downright horrified of the fiend that he is. chunni ninja rabbits, a literal b-2 (but almost 50 times the size loaded with bombs), a 72000 rpm gatling gun, a double barreled AMR, beefed up harpoon spikes among other upgrades. Hell, he gives Myu a whole ass megazord (daddy spoiling his little princess)) are some of the manias that will follow I wonder if they will do a arc for the epilogue (that has about 8-9 episodes worth of content) He doesn't even spare a 7 year old (liliana's younger brother) from the pain, shooting sugar cubes on him till he got concussed/depressed by the gulf in power (the premise of why a 7 yr old thought it would be a good idea to charge at hajime is that the little boy has a crush on kaori, but kaori straight up brozones him and he gets angy at hajime. He starts cussing at hajime, and then the whole sugar cube shooting happens). I don't know why the anime skipped this thing out
I know AniNews has it out against this series but I love it so much! Arifureta delivers in its MC Hajime Nagumo. Rather than trying to do good like Kouki, he actually does what is necessary, and in doing so, is much better than those who are "try to do good." Despite what AniNews and the world might tell you, evil must be destroyed even if the means are horrible. The true heroes are not those who keep their hands clean but those who actually get things done. I will always love Arifureta for that no matter what other clowns say!
Well the problem with Kouki isn't that he is trying to do good, if that was all there wouldn't be much of a problem, but that he is constantly interpreting everything the way it's most convenient for him and is 1000000% convinced that his opinion is the absolute incarnation of justice, that he is always right and simply can't do any wrong. There is a place for more Ideal heroes e.g. like those in MHA, Heroes that aren't as ruthless and inhumane as Hajime. Hell Hajime himself slowly develops a bit towards being more human through out the novels (not that he stops being ruthless, don't worry, but he regains some small measure of humanity through his relationships with those he cares for) but Kouki simply isn't one. He is not some Ideal hero but a self-righteous, self-centred prick that had the Hero role simply handed to him, instead of having to work for it or proving himself to be one.
TBH after the bunny girl is introduced the harem element truly brings the show down to an excruciating pace and story telling. I mean they even allude to the TEACHER falling for Hajime as well. Originally When Hajime escapes the tower i was looking forward to a cold anti-hero but he tolerates too much bullshit. I had to take a break from the LN after the Noint fight. Don't even get me started on the dragon and the child/daddy plotline. I had alot of fun and enjoyment reading the beginning that now his party of girls really holds back with the time they could be spending fleshing out the originally 3 party members.
Hajime not killing those who dared to harm or even threaten those he cared about was stated pretty clearly when Kaori was possessed by the spirit in the ship graveyard and Hajime told it outright he would do everything he could to ensure he didn't kill it; that he would deny it the release it was going to crave just for the audacity of targeting someone close to him. So him not killing Eri immediately means he very likely was planning to torture her then and there, and him pulling his punches against Hiyama meant he wanted to prolong his suffering.
11:03 my thoughts exactly!! Where did this random burst of good animation come from? And where was it in both of these seasons 😭😭. I actually dropped this show like 4 episodes in when i first aired but seeing you post this video made me decide to give it another go since i usually like your recommendations. I'm glad i did. It was a fun watch, and in my opinion the second season is a whole lot better then the first. I really enjoyed it. If a season 3 comes I'm definitely gonna watch it
hajime's Classmates is equivalent to Shun and Co., weak, not very interesting and relies on powerful people to win a fight. i was internally screaming "BRUH! Where tf is Hajime?????" during the backstabbing scene in episode 11 The one i hated the most in the series is Kouki, he had the audacity to tell hajime what he wants to do with Hajime's power. Hajime is pretty much correct on his own ideals, He obviously doesn't want to exert some of his mana on people he doesn't know and doesn't care are, All he NEEDS to do is protect those closest to him and people he KNOWS. Hajime doesn't have the priorities as kouki, Kouki really became a massive scumbag. Hajime doesn't have the status of a respected person in the kingdom, He is even hated just because he is overpowered, Hajime wasn't given his powers on a silver platter, He EARNED it, What he does with it DEPENDS on what he WANTS to do, no one can tell him what his duties should be, especially someone like Kouki.
the brutality in this arc is what I would consider the highlight, having read the LN, the anime was good but I say they could've made more emphasis to it. Hajime's "calm" anger here wasn't really fully utilized since it felt like they held back on how brutal he can be to anyone he sees as his enemy. Unlike your average main character, he can't be stopped with words alone, it's his idgaf personality that makes him interesting. basically, it's just an example of having done too good of a job that a little more push would've made it perfect. example of this is how he held back his attacks enough to maximize the damage dealt but at the same time not let Hiyama lose consciousness and by the way, that fire attack (supposed to be a pale white flame) is also a callback on how it was the same attack Hiyama used that caused Hajime to fall in the labyrinth.
Kouki is a prime example of being Raised in a sheltered environment with well off parents who "do Phalamprafy" and think giving money to needed people solves all their problems. really I pity him. he never really does "wake up" to the reality of the other world and its "survival of the fittest" morals.
Aye kouki is with out doubt the thickest anti protag, he is they guy u wish would just fade away, sure his struggles with his moral compass make a fasinating read but his overall righteous, pompus attitude are so grating you just want hajime to fuck him up aswell lol. Which i one thing thr left out of S1 was a shame. Its funny in the LN. 😁
@@jimmyjryan6645 Yeah it always p***** me off how much they cut out, But that 1 scene wasn't even a full paragraph in the light novel you can't tell me they couldn't spare 10 seconds of animation and 3 voice lines to pull off that scene!
@@HighmageDerin aye i know it was a shame and they also messed up the dungeon escue that should have been 4 episodes on it own to show the struggle the "heros" went through to the point where hajime lays the smack down, also the plot build up for hyima, and eri having the meeting and ofc the part kouki realise how weak he is, compared lol. well we can only hope that another studio might redo S1 based more on the LN plot.
I really can't wait for season three, whenever it is. Arifuerta is, and always has been, my #1 favourite anime. I had watched the first season when it originally came out and was always waiting for the second season for those three years, I was so happy when they announced the season two
I remember in season 1 Hajime stated to Kouki; those who get in Hajime's way or he deems as an enemy, he will not hesitate to kill them. And that's exactly what happened with Meld.
Well the magic from the labyrinths is meant to be OP so no problem with that;) (Love those Isekai where you see why someone is OP or the charcter has like one thing where they are really good at but has someform of flaw -distasteful look at SAO- like this show, that time I got reincarnated as a slime, Overlord, too an extend, or Log Horizon.
One other deviation worth mentioning is Fried's failed attempt to kill and intimidate Hajime. In the LN, Hajime redirects an injured Fried's surprise attack sending part of the beam towards Kouki causing Eri to move him out of the line of fire. Hajime also shoots at Fried when the latter tries to coerce him in to giving him the location of the labyrinth hidden in the Divine Mountain. This causes an enraged Fried to insult Hajime and threaten him further with his army of monsters. Hajime shoots at Fried again, or rather at his monsters projectiles, as he powers up the Hyperion. And when the Hyperion fires it is fired in the plains outside the capital where the bulk of Fried's monsters and fellow demons are waiting. The beam then quickly zig zags across the plains annihilating most of the demon army. Fried then orders a retreat when leaving the captial after vowing to kill Hajime with his own hands. In the anime, Fried's beam is just nullified, his chest injury is healed, he isn't shot at, and monsters roaming outside of the courtyard are destroyed. I prefer how the light novel depicts this series of events as it shows just how woefully underpowered the demon general and self proclaimed apostle is compared to Hajime. I think it would have been better to have the students being lured to the courtyard and Eri's subsequent betrayal along with Kaiori's death in one episode followed by Hajime's counterattack in another episode. Doing so would better convey the terror that is an enraged Hajime.
to be fair, its not entirely kouki's fault either. the way he grew up twisted his morals about justice, and him not failing at anything just drove him deeper and deeper.
@@blacksiopao also sorry if spoiler but eri abusive back story and whst happen to her in there world was fucking horrible. Poor girl no wonder she went nuts for unrequited love. Yeah suzu has such a big heart she cant let Eri go cinsidering she saved her in thier world and they were actual friends. 😭👍
@@blacksiopao yeah its pretty sad, good writing i ,don't think there was a time that i could stop reading the LN volumes lol, i am now so ready for the last but also sad, i just hope there is some bundles of joy to finish things up. Suzu and Ryo odd but cute couple glad he is thee for her and he finally got kouki under control lol
@@DouganRessurection09 the Anime end in volume 6 but I highly recommend that you guy's read the light novel in the beginning because theirs is alot of cut content that the anime skips
Arifureta is a great anime to watch! This episode made it even better. Sure, the anime leaves out a lot of info from the Light Novels, but there's only so much you can put in a half-hour. Hiyama's death was very satisfying, and was described in the LN with more detail. It was mentioned his body was found mostly eaten by the monsters. I really like your cut content videos, so keep making them. Also, could you do a video of some current LNs that don't have an anime adaptation, but could. There's some I could recommend.
Dude a freaking prototype?? U mean the thing that could literally cut the WORLD is just for now a PROTOTYPE?? OHH HOHOHOHOHO!! I can't wait for the v1.0.
7:07 during that scene, I thought Meld was asking Kouki to help him, like some semblance of humanity was left. At least it said it in the subbed translation of the anime.
I just have to say that I've watched season 1 years ago. And because of this cut content, I rewatched season 1, continued and finished season 2, and finally watched your cut content. Definitely satisfying. Though I admit Tio is a bit overwhelming for me sometimes. XD
For me I wished Hajme was a bit more knowledge limited and we saw him hunting down information. Because the power curve in season 1 was off the charts when he got out of the dungeons.
I guess you could say that this episode was Season 1 leaking through. Hajime showed his classic "I got no time for you for I'll just kill you right here." to everyone else working for the people who decided to put people he LEGITIMATELY CARED FOR in pain. Sparing them from the suffering that their master's would get for doing exactly that. Also, just that bit of humanity and compassion to at least avenge that someone he cared for. Gotta love Arifureta.
I knew it was her. The instant she had her classmates stick together and go to the stadium. I was yup it's that chick. They did a good job of setting the final episode of the season up
One thing i hate about this adaptation is that Hajime bloodlust is only used for gags and isn't portrayed correctly, he constantly uses this. Like in this part, the moment Hajime arrived. The literal air became cold to his bloodlust and almost as if time stopped. His bloodlust was suffocating everyone.
I'll just say that i completely slept on Arifureta until i learned you were doing a cut content about it. So in order for me to enjoy these i had to watch it. Tbh It's ok, its no Mushoku Tensei for sure but definitely worth watching. Keep up the good work man your videos are always really insightful and i quite look forward to your Overlord stuff when season 4 drops.
when he kick that coward so hard and you heard this man scream of him get crush and eat by the undead army was so good and see that Hajime save his classmate again and now they wants to be strong cause not once but twice he save his entire class and now they want to be strong just like him and I hope we get a season 3
500 comments. AniNews....if that doesn't show ya the love for your Arifureta videos, idk what will. The sheer positivity and love I am reading in them is powerfully joyful. By the 6:00, I had already done a tiny jig in place, due to the overwhelming pleasure at this video telling the more whole tale. This "scene" in the novels was epic and f'ed up like few others...up to this point. The catharsis of Hajime ending the shite outta Hyauma was physically enjoyed. Kaori's ABSOLUTELY refusing to be beaten down or stopped was wonderful in the anime. Seeing her "sawed" into was gross, but her final moments of life in that body were so well dine and sorrowful. Shizuku's pain was real personal, what with her being a favorites of mine. The vast majority of comments I read when I first opened the section were raving about being able to hope fir a season 3, or lamenting the need to see the next part of this story animated. How very different from what we saw after season 1 ended, no? I am a happy anime fan. El Psy Congroo

Most bgm in season 1 didn't help how cheesy the whole thing feel, either
Yeah, seeing the low quality of the first season of Arifureta and the FUCKING SECOND SEASON of Danmachi made me mental boom so hard I quit anime until very recently
I didn’t know this series had a second season until now. So I went and binge watched it all. It was amazing. Thanks for being it to my attention!
another cool episode. arifureta's seriously an underrated series. hope we can have a season 3 in a few years or so.
its not underated... the animation its pureeee garbage..

They SKIPPED all most the Entire Verbgarden arc in book 2! the characters they meet. the bearman chief getting his arm broken by Hajime. The slaughter of the bearman clan at the hands of the new "Monty Python" Ninja Rabbits" so much is going to have to be done to make seance to anime onlys!
also, The Clan's BEST moment comes later after Hajime takes the princess to meet the emperor! :) that whole chapter was epic as hell. Also, IF the Anime does not give Shea full epic budget on her "team rocket" moment Im'a gona be pissed!
to add to that I want an abyssgate spinoff, its one of the best parts of the WN
The next arc remind me of the Gate anime.
„Hajime also went out of his way to roast his entire existence“ I don’t know why, but i love that sentence.
I literally just finished episodes 11 and 12, and what comes up in my feed? Thanks. I appreciate all his background you provide!
This was a satisfying scene to see animated. I hope we get more seasons of this series. This season gets us up to Vol 6 and with 13 being the final Vol i could see us finishing in 2-3 more seasons. Vol 7,8,9 being a season then 10/11 and 12/13 being a season would probably be the best. At the very least i think if anyone does enjoy this series they should pick up the LN for it. On a small side not it feels like a lot of great Isekai are finally all ending. it's kinda sad lol. Arifureta, Mushako tensei, kunosuba, just to name a few. i hope they all get more seasons so we can see them in all their glory.
i really do hope they get more
Then do you know that the WN for Arifureta is still continuing as an after story.
It’s not really organized greatly as the author releases it when he can but it’s pretty much whole new adventures
I think 7,8 and some part of 9 should be a season 3. 9,10 labyrinth part should be a movie and then 11, 12, 13 should be season 4 if it got this adaptation then it will be awesome
Arifureta Afterstory still continues.
Afterstory is important coz it almost explains the contents not explained in main story
Also hoping for The Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime to continue moving forward. These are the few Isekai anime I enjoy.
"How good this show could have been"
is what I always thought!
This episode made my heart pounding like crazy. I loved how Hajime made short work of all enemies plans to dust only leaving them a wounded sense of pride (at least what I thought of the situation).
Hyperion is the capital ship James Raynor took from Arcturus Mengsk in Starcraft. And there is also a quite old scifi book of the same, that I think it was what gave inspiration to the Starcraft's name.
Got love and hate that I know stuff like this from the top of my head.
Also, Hyperion, in starcraft, is a battlecruiser, and thus have access to a weapon called Yamato Cannon. Which is a big ass 'fuck you' energy "beam".
Really liked the episode, and the entire second season. Hoping we'll see a third season eventually.
The satisfaction when he puts arrogant people into their place no mercy 👌👌
SPOILER
Rest in Peace Meld, you were a real man, and mentor. Also I was writing this while at the beginning of the video and wow, what an entrance for an AD XD
That Fried guy has no shame, getting clapped every encounter which he planned for his side to have an advantage.
Enjoyed Yue redirecting his sneak attack back at his rear guard. Then wrecking his turtles which in a D&D system probably has 99% resistance and chance to redirect, Yue just do what Hajime does, wreck them with overwhelming firepower.
Arifureta is one of the Three animes that I can say started my dive into my Light novel collection. Besides the reunion and the introduction of Remia, Myu's mother, this episode was the one I was waiting on. Hajime is not a revenge mission he is on a one to find a way home he just gets revenge as added bonus. Hajime warn Hiyama to stay out of his way and in the LN it shows way more of how he bullied Hajime for getting Kaori's attention before Hajime gained power in the castle and the school. This scene was worth watching it and hoped it animated the monsters ripping Hiyama apart.
a lot of people called this trash in the first season, because of the poor animation but it really redeemed itself this time with a much better story than most of the the other isekai this season. i really like Hajime's fashion sense wearing a waistcoat, his no shits give attitude and actually getting his waifu to bed unlike other MC's......
and i like Shea's boobs
Aye the boobas are nice and yes hajime is at least a man, he was a little shy at first but once he had yue in S1 he was ultra chad and got his wick wet lol also unlike other harem he loves all the girls sure he does favour yue but he does not neglect the others he has relations with them all aswell which also other harem seem to sjy away from. Here have. Harem but only girl lol. Another good fantasy ecchi is testament of new sister devil 👻👻👻
The animation is ok, not that great, but the story is just, so good 😌👌
The animation wasn’t the deal breaker it was the story and it’s characters
S1 sucks cause they cut out 1& a half and 2 worth of light novel volumes content out of the anime bringing its already low quality even lower
@@ayatoshirokami3045 yeah but as you have read them, you know they went for the action rather then story as was the trend back then, however mushoko tensi, had now proven there is a market to tell the story, its not perfect thats for sure but if they had done 24 eps in s1 arifueta would be among the best of all time. 👍😁
I’ve watched both seasons every episode at least 3 times and read the entire fandom wiki - I love this series - already hoping for S3
Same, bro. I just started reading the Light Novel while I eagerly wait for S3!
Likewise! I've read almost everything about on the official fandom wikia website, too. And I go back to the website almost every day for little bit within my spare time. But, I've been wondering, where can I find the light novels and start binge-reading them like I've been doing with the manga???
That fireball from hayama felt like a callback to s1e1 when he shot hajime with his magic but this time it didn't go so well for him.
I watched the entire second season and loved it. This episode especially really was top notch
The thing I like about Hajime that puts him my top 5 Fantasy/ isekai MC is that he's not easily swayed by threats used as bargaining chips. There's no talk no jutsu, we could've been friends, or I understand you speech, once you're an enemy, only pain and death awaits.
It wasn’t looked up to, but when Hiyama died due to Hajime sending him the same way he once endured, his former classmates began fearing.
believe me, after the whole hoelscher empire insurrection arc, they are downright horrified of the fiend that he is.
chunni ninja rabbits, a literal b-2 (but almost 50 times the size loaded with bombs), a 72000 rpm gatling gun, a double barreled AMR, beefed up harpoon spikes among other upgrades. Hell, he gives Myu a whole ass megazord (daddy spoiling his little princess)) are some of the manias that will follow
I wonder if they will do a arc for the epilogue (that has about 8-9 episodes worth of content)
He doesn't even spare a 7 year old (liliana's younger brother) from the pain, shooting sugar cubes on him till he got concussed/depressed by the gulf in power (the premise of why a 7 yr old thought it would be a good idea to charge at hajime is that the little boy has a crush on kaori, but kaori straight up brozones him and he gets angy at hajime. He starts cussing at hajime, and then the whole sugar cube shooting happens).
I don't know why the anime skipped this thing out
@@RedDrake110 I really do hope the epilogue gets animated because it's such a good after story.
I can honestly say arifureta makes their anime ending episode so satisfying and epic
I know AniNews has it out against this series but I love it so much!
Arifureta delivers in its MC Hajime Nagumo.
Rather than trying to do good like Kouki, he actually does what is necessary, and in doing so, is much better than those who are "try to do good."
Despite what AniNews and the world might tell you, evil must be destroyed even if the means are horrible.
The true heroes are not those who keep their hands clean but those who actually get things done.
I will always love Arifureta for that no matter what other clowns say!
Well the problem with Kouki isn't that he is trying to do good, if that was all there wouldn't be much of a problem, but that he is constantly interpreting everything the way it's most convenient for him and is 1000000% convinced that his opinion is the absolute incarnation of justice, that he is always right and simply can't do any wrong.
There is a place for more Ideal heroes e.g. like those in MHA, Heroes that aren't as ruthless and inhumane as Hajime.
Hell Hajime himself slowly develops a bit towards being more human through out the novels (not that he stops being ruthless, don't worry, but he regains some small measure of humanity through his relationships with those he cares for) but Kouki simply isn't one. He is not some Ideal hero but a self-righteous, self-centred prick that had the Hero role simply handed to him, instead of having to work for it or proving himself to be one.
@@D1i1s1 That's a good point!
Your right! That's a better explanation.
anime news network and anywhere else is a joke
TBH after the bunny girl is introduced the harem element truly brings the show down to an excruciating pace and story telling. I mean they even allude to the TEACHER falling for Hajime as well. Originally When Hajime escapes the tower i was looking forward to a cold anti-hero but he tolerates too much bullshit. I had to take a break from the LN after the Noint fight. Don't even get me started on the dragon and the child/daddy plotline. I had alot of fun and enjoyment reading the beginning that now his party of girls really holds back with the time they could be spending fleshing out the originally 3 party members.
Hajime not killing those who dared to harm or even threaten those he cared about was stated pretty clearly when Kaori was possessed by the spirit in the ship graveyard and Hajime told it outright he would do everything he could to ensure he didn't kill it; that he would deny it the release it was going to crave just for the audacity of targeting someone close to him. So him not killing Eri immediately means he very likely was planning to torture her then and there, and him pulling his punches against Hiyama meant he wanted to prolong his suffering.
11:03 my thoughts exactly!! Where did this random burst of good animation come from? And where was it in both of these seasons 😭😭. I actually dropped this show like 4 episodes in when i first aired but seeing you post this video made me decide to give it another go since i usually like your recommendations. I'm glad i did. It was a fun watch, and in my opinion the second season is a whole lot better then the first. I really enjoyed it. If a season 3 comes I'm definitely gonna watch it
hajime's Classmates is equivalent to Shun and Co., weak, not very interesting and relies on powerful people to win a fight. i was internally screaming "BRUH! Where tf is Hajime?????" during the backstabbing scene in episode 11
The one i hated the most in the series is Kouki, he had the audacity to tell hajime what he wants to do with Hajime's power. Hajime is pretty much correct on his own ideals, He obviously doesn't want to exert some of his mana on people he doesn't know and doesn't care are, All he NEEDS to do is protect those closest to him and people he KNOWS. Hajime doesn't have the priorities as kouki, Kouki really became a massive scumbag. Hajime doesn't have the status of a respected person in the kingdom, He is even hated just because he is overpowered, Hajime wasn't given his powers on a silver platter, He EARNED it, What he does with it DEPENDS on what he WANTS to do, no one can tell him what his duties should be, especially someone like Kouki.
Why are you shouting
the brutality in this arc is what I would consider the highlight, having read the LN, the anime was good but I say they could've made more emphasis to it. Hajime's "calm" anger here wasn't really fully utilized since it felt like they held back on how brutal he can be to anyone he sees as his enemy. Unlike your average main character, he can't be stopped with words alone, it's his idgaf personality that makes him interesting. basically, it's just an example of having done too good of a job that a little more push would've made it perfect.
example of this is how he held back his attacks enough to maximize the damage dealt but at the same time not let Hiyama lose consciousness and by the way, that fire attack (supposed to be a pale white flame) is also a callback on how it was the same attack Hiyama used that caused Hajime to fall in the labyrinth.
Hajime went on that Bully Nagamo train for real for real
Remember what Megumi Fushiguro said about too good people, yeah Kouki is one of them, stupidly didn't kill Meld and nearly died. #Clown
Kouki is a prime example of being Raised in a sheltered environment with well off parents who "do Phalamprafy" and think giving money to needed people solves all their problems. really I pity him. he never really does "wake up" to the reality of the other world and its "survival of the fittest" morals.
@@HighmageDerin I figured that much
Aye kouki is with out doubt the thickest anti protag, he is they guy u wish would just fade away, sure his struggles with his moral compass make a fasinating read but his overall righteous, pompus attitude are so grating you just want hajime to fuck him up aswell lol. Which i one thing thr left out of S1 was a shame. Its funny in the LN. 😁
@@jimmyjryan6645 Yeah it always p***** me off how much they cut out, But that 1 scene wasn't even a full paragraph in the light novel you can't tell me they couldn't spare 10 seconds of animation and 3 voice lines to pull off that scene!
@@HighmageDerin aye i know it was a shame and they also messed up the dungeon escue that should have been 4 episodes on it own to show the struggle the "heros" went through to the point where hajime lays the smack down, also the plot build up for hyima, and eri having the meeting and ofc the part kouki realise how weak he is, compared lol. well we can only hope that another studio might redo S1
based more on the LN plot.
I feel bad for that one classmate who die for nothing😢
,,Im reminded of how good this show could have been" -AniNews
Kokoui : Hero code saves no one
Hajime: doom slayer code saves everyone
More Arifureta?! SWEET! Can you please do a cut content on the season finale?!
I really can't wait for season three, whenever it is. Arifuerta is, and always has been, my #1 favourite anime. I had watched the first season when it originally came out and was always waiting for the second season for those three years, I was so happy when they announced the season two
A sponsor I didn’t expect
Oh and Shield Hero vids start next week!
Thanks can't wait. 🙆🏿♂️
I discovered Arifureta by accident and finished Season 1 in a single night and of course, Season 2 the next day. Thank you for the break down. 🙏
love the cut content. Here's to a S3 announcement! after the OVA in the summer!
I remember in season 1 Hajime stated to Kouki; those who get in Hajime's way or he deems as an enemy, he will not hesitate to kill them. And that's exactly what happened with Meld.
At that time, Meld was already dead. He was nothing but an undead puppet. What Hajime did to him is just a coup de grace.
13:59 you mean the hammer of dawn
Being able to revive the dead seems too OP.
Well the magic from the labyrinths is meant to be OP so no problem with that;) (Love those Isekai where you see why someone is OP or the charcter has like one thing where they are really good at but has someform of flaw -distasteful look at SAO- like this show, that time I got reincarnated as a slime, Overlord, too an extend, or Log Horizon.
I really enjoyed this series! I have also been reading the LN's and really love the story so far!
I enjoyed Arifureta. Also I'm able to understand how others feel about it. And everyone is entitled to their own opinion
This is my favorite episode in the entire series 😌.
One other deviation worth mentioning is Fried's failed attempt to kill and intimidate Hajime. In the LN, Hajime redirects an injured Fried's surprise attack sending part of the beam towards Kouki causing Eri to move him out of the line of fire. Hajime also shoots at Fried when the latter tries to coerce him in to giving him the location of the labyrinth hidden in the Divine Mountain. This causes an enraged Fried to insult Hajime and threaten him further with his army of monsters. Hajime shoots at Fried again, or rather at his monsters projectiles, as he powers up the Hyperion. And when the Hyperion fires it is fired in the plains outside the capital where the bulk of Fried's monsters and fellow demons are waiting. The beam then quickly zig zags across the plains annihilating most of the demon army. Fried then orders a retreat when leaving the captial after vowing to kill Hajime with his own hands. In the anime, Fried's beam is just nullified, his chest injury is healed, he isn't shot at, and monsters roaming outside of the courtyard are destroyed. I prefer how the light novel depicts this series of events as it shows just how woefully underpowered the demon general and self proclaimed apostle is compared to Hajime. I think it would have been better to have the students being lured to the courtyard and Eri's subsequent betrayal along with Kaiori's death in one episode followed by Hajime's counterattack in another episode. Doing so would better convey the terror that is an enraged Hajime.
I personally really like this show I loved s1 and s2 and I know it's not the best out there but I want a s3
Man I love this series, it's one of those "it's so bad it's good" kinda things.
A good chunk of eri is kouki's fault, if only it was suzu(for those who know)
I feel so sorry for Suzu. This broke her for quite a while. and that second meeting with Eri................ tear jerking man,................
to be fair, its not entirely kouki's fault either. the way he grew up twisted his morals about justice, and him not failing at anything just drove him deeper and deeper.
@@blacksiopao also sorry if spoiler but eri abusive back story and whst happen to her in there world was fucking horrible. Poor girl no wonder she went nuts for unrequited love. Yeah suzu has such a big heart she cant let Eri go cinsidering she saved her in thier world and they were actual friends. 😭👍
@@jimmyjryan6645 I imagined Suzu and Erin's final talk in just a white background, I almost cried in that part 😭
yeah dw im pretty updated
@@blacksiopao yeah its pretty sad, good writing i ,don't think there was a time that i could stop reading the LN volumes lol, i am now so ready for the last but also sad, i just hope there is some bundles of joy to finish things up. Suzu and Ryo odd but cute couple glad he is thee for her and he finally got kouki under control lol
Liked this anime because it gives you satisfaction. Unlike shield hero’s pathetic attempt at revenge satisfaction.
I want a season 3 already
Season 3. epidode 1. RETCON/ Flashback from hell. Sence they CUT AND ENTIRE ARC THAT IS CRITICAL TO A SEASON 3 OUT OF THE ANIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Id watch it all over again.. but this was the highlight
Gonna miss arifureta season 2. In the meantime back to the light novel
Do you know what chapter in the novel this is?
@@DouganRessurection09 no but I'll figure it out later. I already have a few of them on my phone
@@DouganRessurection09 the Anime end in volume 6 but I highly recommend that you guy's read the light novel in the beginning because theirs is alot of cut content that the anime skips
Arifureta is a great anime to watch! This episode made it even better. Sure, the anime leaves out a lot of info from the Light Novels, but there's only so much you can put in a half-hour.
Hiyama's death was very satisfying, and was described in the LN with more detail. It was mentioned his body was found mostly eaten by the monsters.
I really like your cut content videos, so keep making them. Also, could you do a video of some current LNs that don't have an anime adaptation, but could. There's some I could recommend.
It’s a shame it’s such a crazy good book, but didn’t get the anime budget it deserves.
Thank you this really helps with what I’ve been dealing with lately,really thank you.
Dude a freaking prototype?? U mean the thing that could literally cut the WORLD is just for now a PROTOTYPE??
OHH HOHOHOHOHO!!
I can't wait for the v1.0.
The ad promotion at the beginning caught me off guard XD
Never have i imagined i would be so intent about hearing products that could save balls
7:07 during that scene, I thought Meld was asking Kouki to help him, like some semblance of humanity was left. At least it said it in the subbed translation of the anime.
I was satisfied for the most part by this season. The first season tried to squeeze in four of the novels but this season only adapted two of them.
I just have to say that I've watched season 1 years ago. And because of this cut content, I rewatched season 1, continued and finished season 2, and finally watched your cut content. Definitely satisfying. Though I admit Tio is a bit overwhelming for me sometimes. XD
I love this guy he do what it's important to do
Ahh, finally s2 is dubbed
For me I wished Hajme was a bit more knowledge limited and we saw him hunting down information. Because the power curve in season 1 was off the charts when he got out of the dungeons.
Love the video's keep up the great work man
I guess you could say that this episode was Season 1 leaking through. Hajime showed his classic "I got no time for you for I'll just kill you right here." to everyone else working for the people who decided to put people he LEGITIMATELY CARED FOR in pain. Sparing them from the suffering that their master's would get for doing exactly that. Also, just that bit of humanity and compassion to at least avenge that someone he cared for. Gotta love Arifureta.
Man i love arifureta. This season was soooo good.
I hope the series continues getting major urkness (being polite) of 1 season and done And thank you for your time vested.
Arifureta is one of my favorite animes tbh, I loved what you did here.
Lmao I was mad confused y they decided to make hiyama's scene so well animated 💀made me laugh
An amazing episode! I can't wait for season 3!
I knew it was her. The instant she had her classmates stick together and go to the stadium. I was yup it's that chick. They did a good job of setting the final episode of the season up
One thing i hate about this adaptation is that Hajime bloodlust is only used for gags and isn't portrayed correctly, he constantly uses this.
Like in this part, the moment Hajime arrived. The literal air became cold to his bloodlust and almost as if time stopped. His bloodlust was suffocating everyone.
Kaori and Shizuku’s reunion post-resurrection was so much more heart-felt in the book.
I'll just say that i completely slept on Arifureta until i learned you were doing a cut content about it. So in order for me to enjoy these i had to watch it. Tbh It's ok, its no Mushoku Tensei for sure but definitely worth watching. Keep up the good work man your videos are always really insightful and i quite look forward to your Overlord stuff when season 4 drops.
it was a great episode, and glad you made this video!! Ready for season 3 & 4
they are saying season 3 mar 24 . we can only hope
when he kick that coward so hard and you heard this man scream of him get crush and eat by the undead army was so good and see that Hajime save his classmate again and now they wants to be strong cause not once but twice he save his entire class and now they want to be strong just like him and I hope we get a season 3
That episode makes my heart race. I'm not ready for this video.
I cannot wait to see Eri get what's coming to her
Besides the ever growing harem I liked this season it had it moments.
Definitely a fan of Arifureta, fingers crossed for a 3rd season
He was like you can’t defeat me while protecting to the kingdom. Well he wasn’t wrong that’s why he sped up the process XD
I really enjoyed the season and am very happy to see the missed content. I really enjoyed this series even with the missing content.
500 comments. AniNews....if that doesn't show ya the love for your Arifureta videos, idk what will. The sheer positivity and love I am reading in them is powerfully joyful.
By the 6:00, I had already done a tiny jig in place, due to the overwhelming pleasure at this video telling the more whole tale. This "scene" in the novels was epic and f'ed up like few others...up to this point.
The catharsis of Hajime ending the shite outta Hyauma was physically enjoyed. Kaori's ABSOLUTELY refusing to be beaten down or stopped was wonderful in the anime. Seeing her "sawed" into was gross, but her final moments of life in that body were so well dine and sorrowful. Shizuku's pain was real personal, what with her being a favorites of mine.
The vast majority of comments I read when I first opened the section were raving about being able to hope fir a season 3, or lamenting the need to see the next part of this story animated.
How very different from what we saw after season 1 ended, no?
I am a happy anime fan.
El Psy Congroo
Hajime was like : *Open up the sky*
This episode as a whole has made me like Hajime even WAY more than I had before.
