Episode 2 is a small improvement over Episode 1. The Black Knight is a cooler opponent than the slimes, the fight has some visual flair even if the CGI is rough, and the pacing is tighter. But Kelvin is still a boring protagonist, the world is still generic, and the writing still plays everything safe. If you're tired of generic isekai, this won't change your mind. If you just want a decent "overpowered guy fights strong monsters" show, this episode delivers that well enough.

The episode itself is not horrible. The story of the Black Knight is good, but not that touching. The soundtrack is forgettable, but the pacing is the best aspect of the episode. The animation, however, is horrendous; CGI that takes the viewer out of the episode and makes us wonder why we're watching this. 2.5 stars.

Episode 2 keeps the pace tight. Kelvin clearly enjoys combat a bit too much and the show plays that up in a way that's more charming than alarming. The Dark Knight showdown is exciting and sets a bar for the action that the rest of the season mostly lives up to.
