Lorraine and Rentt's dynamic are what make this show not just generic trash. I hope the narrative commits to it and Rentt doesn't run-off and isolate himself at some point "for her safety". Too many of these shows go for the loner tryhard Batman trope.

Damnnnn, I thought rentt was losing his humanity bro... he needs to be way more careful... if someone finds out there's an undead living there, bro's really gonna die. Also, some nice dark souls vibes💀💀

It's good how the show gives its world rules subtly and explain them later, straight and simple, i liked it👍

Also, the ED is growing to me.....🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Bro I was scared he was gonna kill Lorraine or something... Glad she is so capable tho and was able to fend him off.

Really enjoyable show so far, simple but astute, with a sensible progression of the story.

Rentt has a fine chick at his beck and calling. Is he oblivious to it or...?

Maybe he'll have to bite 10 or 100 people for the next 'evolution', interesting to see how it'll be approached, might just be a 'luck' thing.

Loving this show, I quite enjoy fantasies with adventurers and while I love isekai it's a nice reincarnation anime and yes the evolution explanation is awesome. I wonder after this cause he said he wants to try it on someone evil or bad so will that be the next type of person he takes a chunk out of.
Hehe if he does become a vampire is he gonna be a pretty boy or more scary awesome looking

pretty good episode over all, it's nice to see that there will actually be some drama involving some monster instincts taking over. I wonder if it's that mask's fault?

This incident was quite a roller-coaster. I never anticipated that things could escalate to the point where Rentt would lose control and bite Lorraine. Despite all of this, Lorraine still remarks, "If you're going to devour me, do it when you're sober." So, I suppose the existential transformation is underway, but there are many factors at stake here, including Rentt retaining his humanity.

A great episode where we learn some new things about Rentt.

He can easily kill a Giant Skeleton, like it wasn't that long of a fight.

Rentt also had a urge for flesh and blood that he held back from Loris, however he couldn't hold it back from Lorraine but that was probably for the best as we learn that he may have evolved ever so slightly.

Vampire has to be end game here.

Sweet, so this is the route he is aiming for, I was hoping he would go to the doppelganger route but well vampires are one of the top tiers in the undead class aside from the lich and vampires can also evolve further into vampire knights, vampire lords and even more OP tiers like the True Vampire/Ancient Vampire which are technically no longer damaged by sunlight and silver and they are no longer of any need to ingest blood for sustenance (sometimes they take energy from human emotions).
Looking forward to how he progresses
PS Lorraine really wants to be devoured by Rentt, huh

Rentt proved himself the bigger deadhead rather quickly with that giant skeleton boss fight, that was damn fast lol, but I think the rest of the episode made up for it. After saving the restaurant owner Loris, Rentt secured himself a free food source and someone to buy things for him at shops, and I’m ngl Loris’ wife was pretty cute, he’s got a babe right there lol. And the bit after this took me by surprise but it makes sense that Rentt wouldn’t have complete control over this new form, but I’m thinking it’s definitely more than just a craving or urge, that felt like he was a different person almost, very interesting.

And then came the scene where Rentt chomped Lorraine, the wound ended up being pretty tame but it looked gruesome and I thought it might go further, Lorraine is definitely the one person he would probably be safe biting tho if that last line about being devoured anytime says anything lol. As bad a situation as this was, we did end up getting more info about existential evolution and Rentt even went from ghoul to ghast so he looks a bit more human now, and the mask has a mind of its own too, so it wasn’t all bad times at least.

So at this point, it's clear the blacksmith and wife are probably his parents or sth (and the fact someone up here commented clearly showing to be clueless abt it, funni)
I mean, already the interaction they had in ep 3, blacksmith's wife acted she was rentt's mom, I would be surprised if this wasn't the case...

Idk if this was more faithful to the novel compared to the manga, but I didn't like how they changed the exchange with restaurant guy.
In the manga, Rentt doesn't make the deal for the stone while in the dungeon, instead he tells him he wants to see if he was telling the truth and to bring him back to his home to prove he really needs to pay off a debt. After that he accepts to give the magic stone to him and shows his ghoul arm to both him and his wife, and at that point makes the deal, and both of them wonder if he's dumb for selling the stone for that cheap.
In the anime they cheapened the scene greatly.



Anyway, I like the pacing of this story.
Sure call it generic, but the 101 generic fantasy manga would've spent 12 episodes with him as a skeleton before even hinting he could evolve as a ghoul.
Here he already evolved twice in 4 episodes.
Not wasting time, and I like it.

This series is getting better at world building. 🤭
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

OOF, Rentt took a bite of Lorraine.

Tho she probably IS delicious. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

But the most important part is... Lorraine said "You can devour me any time" (I would devour Lorraine all day every day (--Y--)(°ᗨ° ) nom nom nom)

She gave her consent, now if only Rentt still have "that down there..." LOL

(also, "can't pretend to be damaged good"... seriously, SHE WANTS IT, damage her ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) )

Tho... would this count as Lorraine doing Necrophilia? (she wants to strip Rentt and do things to him... LOL)

.

so... Rentt's wanting to become a human again is what's determining what sort of monster route he evolves into, going into Humanoid looking monsters.

But... is Vampire the only humanoid route? there are other humanoid looking monsters out there, tho most with obvious monster parts. Like ones with tails, multi-legs, wings, etc etc.

Imagine at the very end he somehow existential evolves to Demon Lord, or actually Heavenly beings as he can use "holy power"... Dude evolves into God, LOL. (probably Demon Lord, since he's aiming for Vampire, which is more toward the "dark side" of monsters)

Ok I was NOT expecting Lorraine to get bitten and all that blood to start splashing around out of the blue bro this show is kinda dark at times😧

Guys I’m telling you there’s some chemistry going on between Rentt and Lorraine we all know she wouldn’t mind getting with him romantically she even said she wouldn’t mind him eating her😭

My boy is a few more evolutions from becoming a full fledged vampire🙌🏽 I find it really funny how Rentt just simply gave up on becoming a human again, bro knew he got no more humanity left and looked for an alternative immediately💀💀💀

Dude's journey to go back to being human is progressing nicely; he's pretty much talking normally now and his body just looks like he suffered some burns- just all over. Still, it seems to be mostly laid back and taking its time, and I like it like that.

It's interesting to see DOOM-san have pulsions from the current monster form he is in, that scene with Lorraine was something. Unfortunately, if the past 10 years is any indication, we won't see them get closer for a very long time.

I already liked this show but it became even better! So apparently beeing an undead does create a dark urge for human flesh in him! Its a good thing he can use healing..

Just as I thought its incredibly lucky nobody else put on the mask as they would likely starve, he bites Lorraine. I got worried there for a second.

Man, I'm loving the way this series is developing. As a fan of the source material I was a bit hesitant since things often get lost during the adaptation process, but they really managed to streamline it so far. That Lorraine-Rentt energy is alive and well and I think they did a good job with that.


I can't wait for the next episode.


@CrowTheCryptid I see no one answered your question yet. That cute creature is in the light novel as well. I expect we can see it in the anime eventually but that's all I can say without spoiling anything.

So from what I understand, all he has to do is kill monsters and rack up exp, then when he maxes it out, he eats human flesh to level up. Seems simple enough. Though probably, the next time he eats, he'll probably need to eat more. Maybe a whole person? Lol

Rentt did well for being in a hunger induced delirious state. I don't think he would of forgiven himself if he ate Loris.
Awesome that he seems on track to evolve into a vampire. Lorraine's experiments on him could uncover some mighty interesting and helpful information. Also it'd be a nice way for him to repay chomping on her collarbone.

I really like the thought and details put into this series so far, they do things that seem stupid but then you realize it makes sense a little later when more detail is shown, and not too much attention is drawn to it. Like with the rookie adventurer Rentt first mets in the dungeon, it seems stupid she would trust a monster even though the monster just saved her, but as the story moves on further, you see she's still very afraid and has her guard up, and slowly becomes more accustomed to Rentt being a monster. When Rentt goes to Lorraine's house for the first time, he just comes in after knocking and nobody answering, and Lorraine is just sleeping there seemingly helplessly...and I think "WTF, door's not even locked, Lorraine's in such a vulnerable position sleeping, drowsily thinking it's Rentt", it seems stupid. But then the next episode we see she was awake when he knocked, purposely posed as asleep to be playful, so it wasn't as stupid as it first looked. And in this episode, Rentt bites Lorraine, you'd think she'd be pissed and no way would put up with such a monstrous betrayal despite their 10 year history (and probably her her secret affections for him), but then a little later she says she wants to totally examine his body, and document and experiment with his sleep and eating, and such...then it's like "oh...yeah now it makes perfect sense, she gets to do all that and he can't refuse because he bite her and probably feels guilty over it". A lesser anime/story would have botched all this, yet this show has the details add more to the show, making it more interesting and telling.

Edit: oh yeah, one more example, you'd think the blacksmith would be idiots or just don't care when dealing with a shady character that Rentt was pretending to be when he first showed up to them, but it turns out they're not idiots at all, they figured out who he was almost immediately, and pieced together the clues to know what pretty much happened to him.

Very good episode, EZ and GG... the Giant Skeleton didn't last at all
How ironic, the cook almost ended up being the food haha.
I was already expecting Lorraine to have feelings for Rentt, you almost get your shoulder ripped off and you're not even a little bit mad... wow, that must be love.
Lorraine saying: it's nice and warm

haha how disturbed is my mind.
F for the spare sword, seems like at the moment everyone who knows about him and his condition...he didn't betray him.... too good the situation but I remember him saying there aren't many bad people in town, they all know each other and just Rent has been working in town for a decade so he must have the trust of quite a few people.
PS: Looks like the cook is doing well
