    The thing is, men are conditioned not to ever complain about receiving sexual abuse, so even if they can relate or are outraged, they won't say a thing.

    I wouldn't be suprised to hear something among the lines of "Danmachi portrays women as evil. Yada yada. etc. etc. patriarchy yada yada victimized even though the are the culprit yada yada"

    Aaand dropped.

    No plot, just accidential sexy scenes with an obliviozs shouta hero.

    Its sad what this has become. The dungeon exploring in s1 was so much fun. Oh well.

    "She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court

    Accidental sexy scenes and an oblivious young teen hero has always been in Danmachi. Remember the completely superfluous fanservice river bathing scene in season 1?

    I agree with David that your tastes may have simply grown away from anime and the stuff that normally comes with it (i.e. fanservice, asexual heroes, illogical powerups, etc.). Anime in itself didn't change as drastically as you seem to think.

    S1 had much more plot, though. The dungeon is what made this anime - hence the title ��*♀️

    I dont think its my taste thats changed so much as its more that im less willing to put up with bs. I dropped Cheat Magician, UchiMusume and now this. In the past Id force myself to finish these. Now I dont. Feels good.

    And its not that bad. Im about to watch Gundam from the beginning. I have Daughter of Twenty faces waiting for me. And I wanna rewatch Clannad After Story. Anime enough. Still, its important to voice criticism to newer anime. I feel especially disappointed because this season looked so promising. Now its Dr Stone, Vinland Saga and for shits and giggles Milf Isekai. Maybe Ill take a look at anichart to see if next season is better

    Nowadays, I just don't focus too much on the show that I'm watching so I can mentally skip the fanservice and other nonsense. That's why I prefer reading compared to watching because I can simply skip over text that I don't wanna read without missing anything.

    This felt like a pretty empty episode, but all in all I don't have super high expectations for this series. Ais's series, the Sword Oratoria, is the one with more story, at this point, it seems. Perhaps later it will be different. I haven't read the novels, so I don't know.

    I considered Bell's interaction and conversation with the fox girl quite nice, aside from running away without a word at the end. I though the dude was past fleeing from trouble already.

    This is an acceptable episode of Is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a Dungeon Red Light District?.

    It's a set up episode. He didn't have words for fox-girl here, but he'll be back to rescue her and prove she's worthy of a hero like anyone else. Her body may not be pure, but her heart is.

    Hermes getting raped should rightly start an outrage, but it won't.

    Shinta, is "Little Five-Incher" really the translation? I thought that was hilarious given the context, but I don't know if it's an accurate translation. Timestamp is ~19:25 where Bell gives the title of the story they were discussing.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    It's the name (Issen Douji) of the hero in the story and shouldn't be translated. I don't know if the attempted translation is accurate because there is no kanji, but judging from the sound only, it is incorrect.

    Bell still shoulda had some words of encouragement. Lettin' the girl kink-shame herself like that.

    "I'm a prostitute, not a princess, I don't deserve to be saved." Girl, you just trying to put yourself through college, don't be all down on yourself!

    Yeah. It was quite cruel Bell decided to stay so silent, as that lack of disagreeing, let alone lack of encouragement could only be taken as agreeing with her self-loathing words.

    Remember, Bell is a naive 14 year old boy. He can't be expected to process something he has never faced before instantly.

    In the book, he had a lot going on in his mind during that conversation:

    This is the problem with season 2. They are leaving a lot of key information and key dialogue out of the anime.

    Hermes was not raped. I can't say why, but he basically wanted the sex with Ishtar. I don't know if they will explain why later on. Basing on how the anime has been neglecting and leaving out key topics and plot points, I am thinking they are won't touch on the topic.

    I took that scene as a homage to the "ruined for marriage" meme. It's a picture where typically the dude is very distraught the morning after, while the woman is very cool about it. The woman smoking all satisfied isn't uncommon either.

    He was crying because he gave up secrets, not because they had sex lol.

    Episode 7



    - -- -


    A level 3 adventurer who pays no attention to what's behind his back in the dungeon. No wonder he's an eternal rookie.

    He IS a rookie.

    You have to remember that Bell isn't even 1 year into adventuring, while others have been at it for years or decades. His level 3 status was acquired due to his OP skill Liaris Freese's effect of improving excellia quality and quantity. He doesn't have enough real experience to be any good at this.

    Yet that evil goddess Ishtar sent a dozen people to capture him. A rookie. It's quite flattering but at the same time embarrassing for both sides.

    Well, she sent a dozen, but only one of them is actually doing it for some reason.
