vole@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago 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.
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 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. 😂
