I have to admit, Yashiro's got a lot of guts going in there like that to save a hostage. Can't blame him either. I don't think he's trying to be a hero or anything but simply doing his job.

Actoin was also decent this episode. Even this early into the series, they are testing what Yashiro is capable of and he has a LOT of potential.

Crazy how slept on this is rn. These first two episodes have been really interesting. Yashiro is already starting to come around and I’m sure he’s going to be a great mentor for Aki and her friends.

Hearing my goat TsudaKen as the demon lord was a nice surprise as well. Aki just beating him over the head with a sword had me crying lmao. It’s definitely going to be fun seeing Yashiro and Aki interact since she can read his mind. That twist reminds me a lot of Munou Na Nana. I get Aki is really noble, but tbh the people Yashiro killed were thugs so I’m not shedding any tears over him killing them 🤷🏾‍♂️

The set up for Jogamine ether perception reveal is pretty good, her power really works well with Yashiro's way of thinking and planning.

The way she defeated the demon lord, lol.

@Mainnus Lol, I actually thought she had no idea what was going on. But clearly she had some help and actually did know. Wouldn’t be surprised if that was the reason she was able to succeed in convincing Yashiro to help her.

Jougamine being able to read people's thoughts was not a twist I was expecting it to end on.
Also not sure if that means there were any embarrassing internal monologue thoughts in episode one (since a lot of the plot seems to be delivered through Yashiro's inner thoughts), or whether Jougamine judged him to be ultimately good because she could read his mind.

I also wonder if reading people's thoughts makes her not want to kill anyone (could imagine if she could hear people's final "thoughts of fear" that would deter you).

Also Indou's teleporting kills are pretty cool, and nice to have some action and backstory about the "E3" drug making people crazy.

I mean I shouldn't complain about this when the protagonist acts exactly like the title of this anime, Scum of the Brave, but he did kill too many people, and most of them are probably unnecessary to kill in the first place. I could say this anime delivers exactly what it promises, but not more.

Aki is such a weird character, actually this whole show is weird. And why does she even need a teacher if she can read minds? She should always be one step ahead of anyone she fights.

I enjoy that there's a contrast between goofiness and fighting the underworld. In one scene this series adresses the necessity of killing, in the other the demon lord gets taken down by a girl in chibi mode. So Yashiro is more agressive under E3. Sems to be worth it, tho.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

So she can read minds. Can be very useful or useless depending on the situation. Anyway unfortunately nothing about this anime particularly interests me. The action, gag, gore, super powers. Feels pretty bland. Jougamine's amusing but that alone isn't gonna cut it. I had high expectations of this too.

Yeah this Episode shows a lot of Problems with the Animation compared to Sentence to be a Hero and OLM other works
The Action just Looks Very Stiff and not a lot of Actual movement going on when dudes are getting cut up like Ninja vs Gokudo
The Tone does feel a tad bit inconsistent
If this how the Show will do the Action than it's going to be a very underwhelming adaptation

So far the anime is alright. Personally, Jougamine is quite annoying, far from amusing. Definitely is the low point for me. 24 episodes might be rough to get through at this rate honestly.

The cost is just life threatening brave work for income. Ouch.

I see, so Jogamine's power enhancement is the ability to read minds. That makes some sense considering her behaviourand how stubborn she is with some of her approaches. While the Max Payne scum decides to kill people, her principles will try to stop him and now with Indo and Sarah it's time for master to become a... master.

I couldn't properly listen to the ending song in the last episode but now that I did it might become an earworm sometime in the future. It may...

A lot of funny moments this episode, but a surprisingly high body count. Aki wearing that robber mask and pouting was hilarious. Also, her being able to hear his thoughts is definitely a shocking reveal, considering how much Yashiro was badmouthing her in his thoughts, and she never reacted once. She's actually pretty cunning herself. Also, I imagine being able to hear everyone's thoughts has to have some kind of emotional toll on you, because literally nothing can be hidden from you. Also the aggression from E3 was very interesting, and I don't mind the slow mode scenes, cause they do add more detail to the moments. Makes sense this is by the same author of Sentenced to be a Hero, but sadly, it's not getting nearly the same level of animation quality.

Decent episode. First and foremost, the ending is a banger, I’m immediately adding it to my Spotify anime playlist after this review. Second, I’m glad the gang of heroes managed to defeat the count of amber thorns and capture him for imprisonment.

Lastly, I’ve got a couple of questions. Why did the count bleed a puke/pee-like color? Is he not human, or did he undergo some kind of surgery? Also, why did he regenerate his arm but not his head? Why'd he lose control over his arm? And how did he even regenerate it in the first place?

I don't think we are supposed to know the answers yet, we'll probably figure it out in future episodes.
It looked like even the demon lord didn't know what was happening, he talked about some new drugs before.

@imSOunique Yeah. It was obvious that the Demon Lord himself wasn’t aware of what was happening to him. He neither knew why his arm regenerated nor why it was out of control. I think that’s a hint we’ll probably get an explanation soon, as you said. I’m really curious.

So he can dodge bullets but can't dodge a punch? Seems like a typical case of plot based power, it's awesome when the author needs it to be and crap when it needs to be as well. And shouldn't his thought be happening way too fast for her to read them? Unless the "reading" is more of a vibe than the exact words he thought.
