English Dub Review: Am I Actually the Strongest? “I’ll Go With You”

Overview:

Haruto sets off for the royal capital with Liza as his attendant. Along the way, they run across a horse-drawn bus being attacked by a ferocious beast. And one of the passengers happens to be a mysterious woman who’s hiding a secret or two…

Our Take:

One thing that is a minor frustration with these anime that are based on light novels is the amount of characters that get introduced. It’s usually only a twelve episode series and tons of characters get introduced and very little screentime to go around. The reason I bring this up is that a character was introduced in this episode that I don’t even recall seeing in the opening. She seems interesting and has some secrets for sure but how we just got a couple new characters introduced and I don’t know if there’s enough time left.

In classic anime fashion, Haruto goes on a “date” with his sister and gets weirdly excited about it. I mean she’s not really his sister but they never are in anime but still. With as excited as Haruto got about going on his first date I was surprised romance hasn’t been more of a factor but perhaps we just haven’t seen it yet.
