    Aaand caught up! Watched all 6 episodes in one go Had to laugh out loud, when that recite of Bellīs grandfather in ep1 was basically what I parodied in my earlier posting in this thread, haha.

    Anyway, this is actually a nice medieval fantasy anime. Another twist on the whole mmorpg-anime genre.

    Now, what makes no sense at all is Bell himself. His main goal is to find a girl, that much was made clear. So ... whatīs he doing?! Heīs living with a hot girl that obviously likes him, too. Iīm still waiting for a "itīs impossible to have a relationship with a goddess" explanation, but from an earlier episode, it seems that that isnt even forbidden. So ... what?!
    Then he meets Syr girl, a super cute maid, who openly tells him she likes him. And again, he doesnīt pick up anything.
    I really have to question his motives. And itīs not like thereīs a deeper connection between him and Aiz.

    Im glad that Lily has finally returned to her senses. Itīs kinda boring to watch a transparent plot unfold. Both her and Kiritoīs voice actor give me bad feelings of harem-ness starting, though. Ugh.

    I hope the remaining party member joins soon, so the anime can focus on progressing the actual adventure.

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

    I reckon he's aiming for Aiz because he admires her. He wants to become a strong adventurer and Aiz is a shining example of that. She's also beautiful and elegant, which is something Bell isn't (or handsome and elegant in his case, since he's a dude). He's fleeing from her, though, because he's too embarrassed by getting saved by her due to his weakness. As a man he doesn't want to appear weak in front of his crush. Quite natural.

    I've said it before, but it's more or less obvious Bell respects Hestia too deeply as a goddess to allow himself to see her as a catchable woman. Naturally he's somewhat conscious of her cuteness and feminity, but it does look like he draws a line. Hestia herself would need to erase that line, but she's too airheaded to realise such a simple thing.

    What adventure? These adventurers are more like blue-collar workers who go to the dungeon 8AM and climb back up 4PM to call it a day. Why, they are essentially like miners mining the magical monster crystals, which seem to power the city. If there's an adventure, it must be an accident and a nuisance, kind of like a collapsed mine in RL, trapping miners.
