This fucking show just decide to throw another monkey wrench into things. So went from killing iseaki mcs who will show up to destroy the world to her own employer telling the enemy how to do something that can fuck the world over...which it has a couple of times already.

Now you one side wanting to use the iseaki mcs or Pure Concepts as soldiers or harvest their power at least while the other wants to use them get young again. Our girl Menou's job just got tougher folks. What is she supposed to do now because killing Akari doesn't yield the result you think it does now but leaving her uncheck could be bad. Toss in two sides with bad intentions. Now, this is what you call conflict and interesting writing.

Oh, there is no way as of right now to send Otherworlders/ Prue Concepts back. This is extra fun now! I never thought we could have an MC be in such a shitty situation before but this show proved me wrong. I want more.
I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon.

innocents?

dude, theyre dangerous INTERDIMENSIONAL beings who almost ended the world 4 times already lol

did you even make an attempt to watch episode 1?
the lost ones are not just your regular "innocent" you could randomly find anywhere

would you mind having these dangerous INTERDIMENSIONAL "humans" as your Neighbors? lol

who would you choose to kill,

dozens of ordinary people or one doctor who can heal and save millions of people?

saving orwell is a pretty rational choice,
her life obviously outweighs those dozens of random women

I don't know why you always bring up something that I never stated to begin with, but yes I'm talking about those random women, and using rational choice doesn't mean it can't be evil.


good and evil are pretty subjective tho

from the livestock (chickens, cows, goats) POV
we, emanity are nothing but murderers?
butt
things can be a lil bit different from cats, dogs POV

how about some chickens, cows, goats somehow have developed intellect equal to us, emanity?

I'm willing to bet all my money that we, emanity would still kill and eat em all anyways. obviously cuz we're scared of getting dethroned from the top of food chain lol

the church decide to kill the lost ones, obviously cuz they're sacred of repeating the same tragedy.
the lost ones either lose control on their own or the summoners exploit their power until they lose their mind

thats how subjective good and evil are,
at the end of the day...

its survival of the fittest

how sad is the situation of this anime that has been unfairly treated as the worst garbage in the season from many people with the worsts bad takes I've seen in a long time, I just pray that over time people realize really is hidden gem.

It was all so weird already, just that only the church knows the spells to transport someone, then so that archbishop was the one responsible, just to not get old, already if you see the problem for Menou and Akari.

Pretty sure all of them will come out alive without a problem. Princess Ashuna is probably my favorite character so far. Her personality and design is just top notch and I love how much she teases Momo and tries to befriend her. She's also crazily strong so how can you not like her?

thats mainly cuz the executioners have been killing the summoners and the lost one for decades already, so
the lost ones summoning magic is starting to get forgotten

nowadays only the church and not many outsiders who still know about it

remember how flare,
menou's master was killing numerous the lost ones while menou was still a kid? that time
all the summoners obviously were also buried alongside the lost ones lol

the foreshadowing from the previous episodes comes to a head....

I'm calling it now that Menou is an otherworlder that has been wiped and re-programmed to be the perfect assasin and the old biddy has her original pure essence.

Also from the OP she was a friend to Akari back in Jr school that died/disappeared.

I quite liked the plot twist in ep.1 where the male self-insert mc was killed off without a second thought.

hopefully it won't decend into "friendship can overcome all" with yuri-bait to spice it up. I'm hoping the old biddy goes fully postal on the world with her time shifting powers and plenty of death, suffering & destruction....

This anime is becoming more exciting. At first, I'm kinda disappointed because I thought they are kind of villain that just kill innocent summoned people, but now I realized that they are being used only and It has started to become a great exciting anime, so I'm really looking forward to the next episode because I'm really excited on what will happen from now on.

"whaaat! the old hag was using Menou to get power for herself?! i cannot belieeeeve it, what a twist!"

Yeah, the signs were there even from the opening than Menou was being used. Akari hasn't had that much of development either thus far apart from sticking to her in quite the intimate way (almost a bath scene).

That being said, even if the show hasn't been that unremarkable to me on that regard, I'm curious to see what will become of this now. As in, if we will get a broader look into the political scandal or not. There's still quite a bit of episodes so maybe.

Menou is a member of the Faust but she is also a Executioner who hunt taboos. What Archbishop Orwell done is taboo, using human to make materials for 'Red', summoning otherworlders and planning to use Akari's Pure Concept to her own gain. Of course Menou would go against her but not to the whole Faust.

Great episode I love it

Okay so it is the church is corrupt and selfish, cliche maybe but the only alternatives I saw was the subplot with Momo causes the ritual to get destroyed, the ritual fails as the pure concept of time still activates and brings her back to life anyway or it succeeds and it's on to the next isekaied character getting murked. None of those had much potential for an engaging story so I'm honestly glad this is the direction it went.

Was waiting so much for this episode, where the "holy" priestess would finally reveal her cards, and as expected here we are...

I don't think that they will be able to remove the pure concept of time but we'll see.
Also, love that it was Ashuna that made Momo use her head.

But i am glad that it turned out like this for Menou, finally, she will start using her head by herself.

Loved the twist, didnt expect the old hag to be a villain, she pulled out a DB plot, also I find hilarious how Momo can't stand Hime when she's a x10 the same to Menou-chan

I kinda saw the plot twist coming a mile away with the old archbishop woman.

Doesn't matter though, because this show is awesome. Ashuna is definitely into Momo, whether Momo likes it or not!

I wonder if Akari is gonna use her reverse time powers again soon.

that said tho,
I bet you didnt expect it would blow up in episode 5 did you? that was like very very early in the story

yea,
ashuna is really into momo, iirc in episode 3 ashuna admits that she loves something beautiful and strong, momo definitely has em both covered

I had a feeling something would happen to prevent the killing of Akari but I didn’t know how they would have the event unfold. The reveal of the old hag’s devious plan was definitely interesting though!

I second the Ashuna x Momo ship all day. Love the strong tough chick pursuing the cute small girl archetype in anime

Also want a happy ending for Menou x Akari but that might be too much to ask for

This episode was just fine. It felt like it was dragged out a bit so they could save resources on animating the fight scene in the next episode. I saw Orwell's evil side from a mile away (since episode 1), and I thought her reason for doing evil stuff was very flat.
Also, the revelation of Orwell being bad was just so rushed. Like, super duper rushed!

On the other hand, I liked the Revelation that Menou and Akari were both needed for their special abilities.

This was my favorite episode. I knew there would have to be a twist since their journey couldn't end so soon. The fact that it was to try and restore the archbishop's youth though did surprise me a bit.

Looking forward to seeing where the story goes from here.

So... as expected, the Church are the real "evil" in here. They're the one that's Isekai'ing people. And if they don't have the power they want, they just kill them with the excuse of "saving the world" instead of actually finding a way to send them back home.

And also... what's the point of trialing the King if the King was acting based on what the Church actually wants?... the fuck? not only is the Church killing Isekai people they summoned, they're also killing their collaborators.

Ah, I expected the ceremony to fail but didn't expect Orwell to actually be the villain here, she wanted to use Akari's power to gain immortality and be young again, now it's up to how they'll fight here seems everything seems to be well coordinated...

I was like, "What is wrong with their ice cream?" Then I realized it was probably like shaved or Italian ice.

+10 points to Akari for that yuri push, and -100 points to Menou for not accepting it -- that would've been the perfect time to abuse your time powers Akari. Keep re-rolling for that yuri ending. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Well, Orwell's scheme seems pretty random, but alright. Really, assuming Menou survives this ordeal, I'm not sure what she's going to do. Despite being betrayed she doesn't seem like she's given up on her role. Is she just going to wander around looking for a way to kill Akari? Or is she so naïve to think that by eliminating Orwell all the corruption in the Faust will magically fade away and she'll just continue on like she always has?

I can not help but think the show would be better if it just dropped the main couple and the isekai angle and went with Momo and Ashuna as lesbian stalkers forced to work together to fight crime. Momo could be chasing after her church handler and Ashuna would be after her.


I like ashuna.. but for the love of God momo irritates in ways I didn't know were possible. Utter trash character.

yea?

as its shown in episode 1, menou gets mentally bleached by white, she loses most of her emotions, she can still feel things later on but she's still emotionally dull compared to normal people

Did not expect not-Subaru to be getting turned into a zombie-planet of the ape's war crime material. Thats dark and fairly hardcore for such a light hearted story thus far.

Where did my happy anime of the "assassin priestess + boobalicous + novitiate in another world", go?
