Tensei shitara Dragon no Tamago datta • Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling - Episode 4 discussion

Its pretty accurate either way

If there's truth to the previous episodes, I'd imagine making friends with other monsters (at least of a different species) is probably rare cause of the whole monster's instinct to level up and evolve. That's why they brushed off the chance of a good monster saving Myria.

I wonder if the waifu lizzard also has the voice of god thing too

He's going to be a monster girl enjoyer now 😆 I wonder what their eggs will look like?

Here, I thought the poison monster was going to be his adopted child at first

it clearly has an actual voice actress, not just someone doing noises.

the title sequence shouldn't have spoiled that part

>I can only think of how foolish Myria is being going into the forest alone where her party got wiped out and she only survived because of the MC.

She has a really big case of survivor's guilt it looks like.

Why would she care for someone who tricked her and almost got her killed.

Flashbacks to Overlord Lizard Mating Arc

Not as good.

Classic case of 'same but worse', however it's still fun to watch.

If you enjoyed Spider then there's a good chance you'll find something to enjoy here too. Though at the moment it doesn't have quite the same charm, and the protagonist comes off as more bland.

And while I think the animation here is a step up compared to Spider, the directing/composition is a step down. Kinda awkward with how everything is stitched together.

The main character has a fraction of the charm of Kumoko. The show is slop, not the worst slop but generally kinda brain dead turn your brain off and enjoy slop.

Spider is a hardcore survival tale (while she is on the dungeon)

This one is more of a silly/daily life/slow progression with a side of adventure/fights

I am enjoying this more than Spider -- but not sure if it is :better" or "worse".

It has a less compelling protagonist, but it wastes less time with humans and imo the story is millions of times better in the back half.


Fights are prettier too, but that may just be the age difference.

Purple Dora-Chan has learned well from Mukouda.

> That little cave is starting to look like a decent home. Guy has cookware, spices, a nice fire. It ain’t too shabby.

Don't forget the mushroom lamp!

Also, despite having no real hands, he managed to make perfect pots and bricks!

He's special for sure.

It was reasonable to think he could tank a poison effect. He is a poison monster too after all. He didn't realize Lecherta has "no this actually kills you" instead of just a high power poison.

> > Fights a clay monster
>

To be fair, if he wants the clay to be malleable and usable to make pots afterwards, heating and therefore hardening it wouldn't allow him to do that.

The MC is smart enough to be able to craft a kiln, properly mold and fire clay pottery, properly preserve food, and such but he becomes brain dead when it comes to seeing new dangers. Its a bit annoying how the clearly intelligent MC has to become stupid to advance the plot.

I also think he's stupid for killing the clay bear. When he chopped parts off of it, he got clay. So he could keep coming back to it and getting more clay as needed, like how people shear sheep for wool instead of killing it.

> > Fights a clay monster
>
> > Does not use fire breath

Well, duh, he wanted to use its clay to make pots. Can't shape clay how you want if it's already fired.

It's actually kind of important they're consistent about the XP announcements, because it is real info to be told you killed the opponent. Remember he has already feigned death before.

After someone have already poisoned you, isn't your first thought "I can fix her"? Is that just me? /s

Because black lizard bae has finally arrived

Lizard became his wife perhaps. Joins his group

The world of Water Magician was interesting. The problem is it never focused on the interesting parts enough, as there was a clear direction issue from the author.

Outside the Mc being a dragon, there isn't too much to really mention. Granted, the MC's personality is fun even if he is an idiot.

Yep, that's how I would describe the manga too and why I wasn't keen on this show. It _almost_ does something a couple times, but never quite gets there for me.

They've been showing village girl wanting to go into the forest. This episode she actually ventures into the forest, but still no interesting development...


They showed zombie Daz, then didn't bother to develop that further and instead showed mc killing some random monsters.


It's getting kinda frustrating. Maybe this is a show that should be binged.


I'll give it 2 more episodes to do something interesting, otherwise I'm going to drop it for the time being. 

I think they were padding for time in order to end the episode on a cliffhanger, instead of having to rush or pause in the middle of the fight with that venomous lizard.

Nuh uh! She cast 1 fireball too!

> He had no real reason to hunt and kill that clay bear. Just taking pieces off it, he got some clay and could continue to get more from it if it was alive; it'd be like instead of shearing a sheep to get its wool, you kill it.

The world operates on RPG rules. He gets stronger by killing stuff. He wants to be stronger so he'll be safer, and he's also hoping he'll unlock the human transformation if he levels enough. Most of the monsters in the forest are hostile, so it's not really practical to keep it alive. If a sheep was carnivorous and big enough to eat people, not a lot of people would be willing to keep it alive to shear it.

>Also poisoning monkeys is pretty messed up.

Eh, not really. They're stealing his food. Mouse traps and rat poison are used the same way. Also, they're hostile monsters, and they may not be a match for him individually, but social animals that can hunt in packs are dangerous.

>They had light up ones, meat tasting ones and even psylocibin-like hallucinogenic ones. He came off stupid though when he burned them just because he didn't want to eat them. The guide said they were valuable so if he became human, he could sell them and not have to work.

They're valuable because they can be used to make highly addictive drugs. In other words, they're valuable because drug dealers can use them to ruin people's lives for a profit. Our protagonist's hero title even leveled up when he burnt the mushrooms, indicating it was objectively a good deed.
