In the preview for second episode of the anime adaptation of Ao Jumonji and Eiri Shirai’s Hai to Gensou no Grimgar(Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash) light novel it looks like a tragedy of some sort happens. It looks like during one of the gang’s quest to take down the goblins, someone gets seriously injured or even worse, killed. What gives us that hint is Ranta’s face, which has blood splattered on it.
If you haven’t noticed, the opening theme’s CD “Knew day” has Manato on the cover, but on the ending theme’s CD cover he is replaced with Mary, who will later appear in the anime. We now know that Manato will most likely be the one who will be in danger in episode 2.

Here is the series synopsis from MAL:
Why are we here? Why are we doing this?
Before Haruhiro had realized what happened, he was surrounded by darkness. Why was he here? Where was here? Even now, he still didn’t know. Those around him were the same as him, no one remembered anything other than their own names. And when they emerged from the darkness, the world that awaited them seemed like something out of a video game.
In order to survive, Haruhiro forms a party with the others, learns fighting skills, and as a soldier in the reserve force, takes his first steps into the world of Grimgar. What awaits him there, he doesn’t know…
This the story of an adventure born from the ashes.

Concrete Revolution: Choujin Gensou synopsis from Haruhichan:
The stage is set in “another Japan” as a banquet of diverse superhumans unfolds…
In an imaginary “age of gods” about 20 years after the war, Japan has grown and developed by leaps and bounds. What if all the superhumans ever written about in fictional stories existed at the same time? Superhumans who came into existence through different circumstances, and who are special in different ways—Titans from outer space, lifeforms from a mystical world, phantoms and goblins from ancient times, cyborgs created by scientists, relics that rose out of the ruins of ancient civilizations, and the list goes on. One segment of these superhumans makes no secret of their existence and has gained popularity in society. Others cloak their identities and fight in secrecy.
There are enemies of superhumans as well, organizations that operate in the shadows.
The Japanese government has taken many measures to secure peace and order.
One is the establishment of an organization under the Ministry of Health and Welfare—the Overpopulation Research Laboratory, a.k.a. the Superhuman Bureau.
Their mission is to identify and approach superhumans, then oversee and safeguard them. One member of the Superhuman Bureau, Jirou Hitoyoshi, is protagonist of this series.
