    First half was funny with the ice girl. Second half was whatever. The "orc" joke just doesnt connect with me.

    Knowing how Mfauli feels about protags that pass on opportunities, this show must infuriate you.

    The comedy is on point.

    Rabbits being evil maneaters was some Re:Zero kind of twist.

    Tsundere Elf > Mabel. The latter's laziness and weirdness makes her less pleasant to deal with, especially now that we know Elf's hostility towards Uncle is 100% warranted after their first meeting.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    I mean, I'm used to it at this point. But them, the things I'd do to Mabel. She's perfect <3

    This feels different than the usual "hero that just doesn't care about girls".

    You know that Uncle would be down, he's just too stupid to see the runway lights being laid out for him.

    That show was fun... but it needs to shift the repetitive nature it set to something else.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    With the reveal that his spell casting is actually a result of his language skill allowing communication with spirits, the fact that he now chants in Japanese makes less sense.

    On one hand, fictional Japanese "spells" are often chanted in Japanese rather than some fictional language in contrast to how European spells are chanted in anime (though sometimes they just use German for this, but whatever). Thus, Uncle summoning fire using Japanese makes sense.

    However, if the barrier to magic use lies in communing with spirits, then his translation skill itself should not allow him to use spirit-based magic any more easily than any other Japanese-speaking person.

    Also, if all spells of his are performed by simply asking a nearby spirit to perform said task, it means that memory recall should be in Japanese as well. There is no evidence that he has a spirit living within him from another world that responds to jibberish.

    You're looking at it wrong.

    His request was, "If only I could speak their language, we could understand each other."

    So the absent system god just gave him everything in the simplest way possible. Anything, including spirits in both worlds, can understand him.

    Other series play with the idea that universal language is OP, and it is.

    It's not even a question. Elf kept his sweatshirt from three years ago in mint condition and uses it as her sleepwear.

    I do think some of it is the performance. I generally don't like Yuuki Aoi when she plays whiny characters and find her significantly grating when she plays these archetypes.

    Mabel is annoying when she's whining or begging, but cute otherwise.

    It's why Cypher seems like one of the weakest X-Men at first, but is actually extremely powerful once they explore what his ability actually means.

    Mabel's ancestor asked for a weapon to kill god. He got it and killed god. Those deity powers still exist, but no brains behind them, they work like an answering service.

    Uncle got the answering service instead, asked to be able to speak languages, and the system gave him the ability to speak with ANYTHING, including things that wouldn't normally be able to understand human languages, and that power works across worlds.

    Uncle speaks their language. Spirits and moonbeams don't speak in the traditional sense, but they do now to the Uncle.

    The end. It's not that hard.

    So you are saying when he was speaking to the moonbeams, we hear it as Japanese, but he was actually talking in moonbeam language? The Japanese we heard was just convenience of the playback, just like the other characters?

    So essentially, every time he speaks with something and they understand it, he is actually conversing using their language intentionally. I say intentionally because when he first woke up in the modern world, he tried to cast spells but failed because he used fantasy language. That means he CAN make mistakes and use the wrong language, despite the fact he knows ALL languages (not sure if only in the fantasy world or also modern world). Is this understanding correct?

    He speaks, they understand. Don't think too deeply about that.

    In the first episode, he spoke with the intention of speaking to the spirits because he was very well versed with them after 17 years, and realized that the spirits on Earth aren't the same as the ones on the Other World. He switched, and his requests ended up functioning the same way. Magic.

    He explicitly mentioned that he eventually figured out his magic (asking spirits for help) isn't the same as the magic that the Elf does or that anyone else does. Because they don't speak to the spirits of their world. He does.

    Why is the memory magic different and still uses otherworld spirits? Who cares. An answer I made up just now, yet plausible, is he is asking memory spirits which aren't elemental spirits and they're all the same.

    This part is actually what is making it difficult for me to accept that "simple" explanation. If when he speaks, they understand, then this scene shouldn't have happened. He could just say whatever, and the spirits of Earth or whatnot should've understood. The fact that he had to switch languages and speak in Japanese is in direct contradiction to the fact that he can be immediately understood just by speaking due to his skill.

    When he was beaten by the rufians when he first arrived in that isekai, he was not understood at first. So he needs to actively think/do something. Can't remember the details though.

    Series has entered some kind of production hell from the schedule slips and the COVID quarantines. Episode 8 is delayed until further notice.
