English Dub Review: Quality Assurance in Another World “Haga Makoto”
Overview
After what she’s been through, Nikola is now determined to join Haga on his quest to debug the world and become a King’s Seeker herself! Haga has no idea what to make of this development, so he reluctantly agrees to take her with him.
Our Take
This time around, the second episode offers an intriguing continuation of the premiere, delving deeper into the complexities of the plot. While the pace is slower, it allows for a more thoughtful exploration of the characters and their circumstances. Nikola’s survival, although not deeply investigated, adds an element of mystery that so far hopefully unravels into something meaningful.
The dangers of Haga’s current situation with real consequences become more apparent and adds a layer of tension and urgency to the proceedings. And the newly introduced Sumida’s antagonistic actions against Haga showcase the high stakes, emphasizing the genuine risks involved in their pursuit. Thankfully, Haga and Nikola’s newly established bond brings a classic adventure vibe, as their complementary skills and cautious approach offer a refreshing dynamic to their journey.
Overall, the episode helps cement Haga and Nikola’s bond of trust and newfound partnership, setting the stage for an exciting adventure ahead. While the narrative could benefit from more cohesive storytelling, the unique premise and character development hold great potential. The series while being comedic in places, continues to build intrigue and anticipation, making it a compelling watch as it unfolds.
I hope this turns out to be another Gravity Falls-type show with an overarching storyline.
