    What are you on about, do you mean Eris’ hair ?

    EDIT: wait, is the white thing panties ? I though it was a rag in which he kept her hair.

        Ok now that I udnerstand that it recontextualizes everything. He was actually clutching underwear in his pouch to stave off his panic attack… damn I agree with OP now: wtf
        The author seemed intent on making it hard to recommend this show -_-

          Rudeus is a really, really flawed character, and it definitely means that the anime and LN won’t be for everyone, but if you can accept it, there’s a lot there to enjoy. I agree that it makes it difficult to recommend to people.
          I’ve read up through volume 19 of the LN, and though I love the series, I’d absolutely prefer if Rudy’s libido were slightly less of a focal point.

            The flaws in Rudeus’s character are not something that viewers just have to tolerate, they are a very crucial part of the plot. Highlighting the contrast between the characteristics of his current and past self are pretty much the main point of the show.

              I agree that Rudy’s flaws are central to the story, and that’s why I wrote “if you can accept it” rather than “if you can tolerate it.”
              My main point was that the emphasis on sex, how it’s presented, and the extent to which this is interwoven with Rudy’s personality, will obviously be a turnoff to some.
