Hagure Yuusha no Estetica

There's been a lot of discussion about this, so I made a new thread for it. I probably should have earlier, but I'm lazy.

In any case, Estetica is Spanish for aesthetics. So the title roughly means, the artistic taste of a rogue hero.

MC is The Gadfly. Interestingly I still like his relationship with his "sister". He really does seem to be looking out for her so far.

yeah. Akatsuki is the interesting point of the show because he's certainly no conventional hero. He's Rude, a little perverted (albeit it also looks like he's somewhat traumatized), somewhat conceited, enjoys causing trouble just for the random fuckery of it all, and is perfectly willing to play the bad guy to help others.

so... He's oldschoolnorse!Loki?

Seems to be the case. He's absolutely willing to do disgustingly rude things to people either just to randomly dump oil on a proverbial fire, or to help people out.

I liked the blink and you'll miss it alluding to that there might be something deeper going on with him during the Sleep Molestation scene where he said his sister was dead.

True that, that could be a Chekov's Gun there.

That sword is ridiculous.

Agreed.

That was amazing. Both hilarity of how many damned wristbands, followed by a sword that'd make Cloud Strife drool.

this is also true.

The beginning of the ep was funny too.

This anime really is one of a kind.

Akatsuki continues to stride the line between being really awesome, really creepy and just a total troll. Also pretty overpowered, I mean that was like half a dozen AD? Is he really really powerful or is the rest of students weirdly weak?

But hey, at last we were reminded that it's actually not a normal school.

I think its been subtly implied that he has a little something special from defeating the Demon King. Well more than just Miyuu at least. His need for about a dozen AD might be because he's literally dragging forth the weapon of a Demon King.

Someone was in danger of being raped this episode. "Just Joking" huh? Riight.

I wonder why the class rep didn't show up to meet with the council? I guess she might either figure she can blame it on Ousawa or that she can handle whatever consequences they can throw at her.

Maybe the student council just dropped everything related to Akatsuki. The prez wants him all to himself apparently.

Speaking of Akatsuki, he's awesome, but also really creepy. I guess that's better than Chikage who's just plain creepy. Still. Oh, but he has a nifty sword, which he needed seven wristbands for. Wow.

Re: his power level I thought his strength was because he actually managed to beat the Demon King in his alternate world?

But how would she have known that? Well actually, I'm pretty sure she was in that darkroom council meeting in episode 1 so perhaps she does know something.

I just assumed that she just didn't go and since nothing happened she thought it was ok. Yeah, it's a stretch, but it's better than nothing.

This series is awesome.

New ep is out.

Got to wait until Monday when the official subs come out. Last episode was okay though.

"I wonder why... my chest hurts"

Growing Pains

And it took 4 episodes for Myuu boobs to become a plot point. Good times.

Any why yes Myuu that's how all older brothers act. All of them can walk on wall too.

But it seems can do things that don't involve molesting. He's really trying to help Myuu with her trauma.

From other news we learn about organization "Cocoon" and it seems Akatsuki has some beef with their leader. Wonder what's it's about.

Also, I wonder if the guy at the end is someone significant. Probably yes since we didn't learn his identity and were left with cliffhanger.

All in all a good episode.

I betting it is that Cocoon guy that disliked be called "fake hero"

After he'll get befriended he will became part of group (that readhead bully will as well)

We saw blonde dude on the news as he was getting out of the plane.

And in a Flashback to that news footage just before he opened the door.

No they are different guys. Look again.
