The Regression of Great Sage Riddle

It's good but it will be perfect if it's built like the other animes

I could not stop laughing when that huge guy called him Riddle-chan and it is going to be so satisfying when Riddle finally puts those Red Bull jerks in their place

Gremlin losing her mind and grabbing Dalsan by the collar was so funny and she really did not want her star pupil to just walk out like that

The animation still looks like a powerpoint presentation but the mystery of the Box of Malice keeps me coming back every single week despite how short these episodes are

I cant believe Riddle just left a note and dipped like that because Gremlin was totally losing her mind when she found out and it was the funniest part of the whole week

Seeing those Red Bull clan guys act so tough while Riddle just sits there with a thousand years of combat experience is such a power move and I hope he humbles them soon

That teleportation at the end was such a power move, and it shows how much he is hiding from the rest of the guild. Noren screaming his name while he ran across the roofs was heavy

Riddle just vanishing on Noren like that was such a jerk move even if he has a big mission. The 5 minute format really rushes these big character moments and it feels like we missed the actual conversation

My heart broke seeing Riddle look at Noren and think about her dying in the other life. I know he waited a thousand years just to save her and then he has to walk away and it hurts

The slideshow animation style makes the emotional scenes feel a bit stiff but the writing for Riddle leaving the guild actually landed well. You can tell he hates that he has to lie to Noren

Riddle leaving Noren like that was so brutal and the way she was just reaching out into empty air made the ending feel so heavy

The runtime is still way too short and the art is basically a wobbly slideshow but seeing Lorn drop that lightning strike on the horde was the coolest part so far

The reveal about the Chimera Marionette being made of thirty actual people made my skin crawl and Riddle was totally right to lose his cool at the end there

Riddle using his thousand years of knowledge to just spawn a massive wall of magic circles made Reseph look like a total amateur and those thirty victims deserved a better end than that golem

I hate how short these episodes are but seeing Riddle stare down that villain from the shadows was actually cool he knows way more than these high rankers realize

That purple haired villain looks like he was drawn in five minutes and the animation is basically a moving book but at least the story is moving along

I actually felt bad for Reifon when Rhodes called him a trash adventurer but the animation was so stiff that I could barely tell if he was even supposed to look sad

I really want to like this because the idea of a sage regressing to save his friends from Pandora's Box is cool, but this five minute format is killing the vibe. We barely got to the cave before the credits started rolling. It feels like I'm watching a trailer instead of a real episode and I might just go read the manga.

Dalzen is already onto Riddle, and it makes the whole mission feel way more tense than just hunting some bandits in a cave.

Two minutes of actual content and three minutes of credits is crazy and it makes it impossible to care about the bandit mission or whatever else is happening
