Comment on [Episode] The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System • Tsuihou Sareta Tensei Juukishi wa Game Chishiki de Musou Suru - Episode 9 discussion

The recap in this episode was like 9 minutes long. That’s too long.

And then, the fight itself was crazy stretched out. It was two attacks with zero counter attacks, but it lasted most of the rest of the episode.

I think the thing that bothers me the most about this anime is the way that Elymas seems to be unable to use his common sense or any knowledge that he gained from living in that world for his entire life, and he purely makes his choices based on his knowledge of the game. It’s hard to fathom that his entire life in that world made no difference to him from the entire time since he got his class to this episode, and that has made him act inconceivably stupid, I guess.

So, the fact that he’s starting to overcome this weird mental block that doesn’t really make much sense in the first place, well, it’s a good sign for this anime. Elymas has actually realized that he’s not just playing a game, and it’s not completely governed by game rules. I have no idea how he didn’t realize it up to this point, but at least he’s there now.

I looked it up, this episode covered about 1.3 manga chapters. (too lazy to lookup the LN/WN, though that’s what I was originally going to compare) The previous episodes averaged about 2.2 manga chapters per episode (I’m assuming there was no significant divergence in content), possibly even higher if we ignore the previous episode which also had a ton of recap.

It seems that Elymas has a realization in nearly every episode that this world does not work quite like the game works.

  lol, I looked it up too. I was SHOCKED when I finished Volume 2 and realized I was basically caught up to the anime.
  
  There’s an ABSURD amount of recap, flashbacks to something that happened literally three minutes ago, long reaction shots, dramatic camera angles, and reused animation that feels like it’s there purely to eat runtime.
  
  And I genuinely have no idea why they’re going at such a glacial pace. They signed up for 26 episodes and have 18 volumes of manga to work with. It’s not like they’re in danger of running out of source material!
  
  At this rate, they might only reach Volume 8 by Episode 26. 😂

I don’t know if it’s because I recently read the manga just to see how badly the anime adaptation was trainwrecking the pacing, but the impression I got was that the world’s “common sense” about the game mechanics is often absurdly wrong.

Heavy Knights are considered a useless class when they’re actually completely busted, for example. So Elymas seems perfectly capable of navigating the non-game aspects of the world using the knowledge he gained growing up as a noble. But when it comes to classes, skills, and game mechanics, he trusts his past-life knowledge instead. Because the people of this world clearly have no idea how to properly optimize any of it.

And now he’s finally starting to realize, “Oh, wait, I’m not necessarily the only person who can be good at this.” Honestly, that’s pretty refreshing.
