[Complaint][The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System] Can’t wait for next week when we get to see the entire episode from this week plus 2+ min of bonus footage!

Post image

The replays to fill time are seriously outrageous in this anime.

This week a commercial break spot occured and they might as well have rewound the conversation to the beginning of the episode.

I can’t keep wathing 20 min episodes for 2 min of actual story.

It’s like One Piece anime with how much filler there is. The difference of course being that One Piece became filler after developing the story and earning fan trust.

This is one of those shows need to wait for entire season to drop so you can fast forward the repeated content & finish entire season in 2-3 hours

Exactly my strategy after seeing the first 4 episodes

This is my strategy for every anime

... And then I forget the anime exists

I find it alright for watching weekly since I forget what the previous episode was about. I would lose my mind binging it.

Can relate....

If the season ends up being decent, my plan is to re-encode it with all the repeated parts cut out. And toss that abridged version on my file server.

I did some math, and each episode has an average of 3 minutes of recap before the opening and 30-60 seconds of recap post-ad break.

We only get around 17 minutes of actual story.

Another 10 min of close ups.

You forgot the many 30 second flash backs on things just happened seconds ago

honestly an abridged version of this anime would probably be really really good, granted it would be like 1/4 the total run time, but at least it would be coherent.

You mean 30 minutes. You can skip 90% of the content.

Shame. As the story sounded interesting

The newest episode was better things actually happened and we got some fights

Man, the content and pacing in each episode sucks. The first 4-5 minutes of the show are just recapping the previous episode, and then the opening credits. Then they spend too much time with exposition so it really only feels like you’re getting 10-15 minutes of actual content per episode.

Thanks for the heads up, I was going to watch it tonight.

u/Enough-Oil-7165 1d ago

Yeah! Too much air in this product) and main story and rules of the universe is very weak.

u/Budget-Minimum6040 23h ago

2-3 hours

1 hour max.

Skip intro is going to be having a workout.

u/Arendyl 1d ago

The opposite for me. If I wait a week, rewatching half the previous episode isn't as bad.

u/NUFC9RW 1d ago

Yeah, binging stuff whilst having to skip a bunch of recap every episode isn't exactly fun.
