Rionne getting a lot more screen time this episode and she has a commanding presence/leadership characteristics.

We also got a one-on-one duel between her and Shin. He made an impression for sure. I also can't help laugh a little at the size of Rionne's sword. It felt like both were holding back though. Schenee's abilities are impressive, and very useful for stealth missions.

I didn't quite understand the part where Schnee became angry with that demon.

Princess Rionne wanting to duel with Shin, she sees her Intuition in him, not just a woman's intuition.

A one-on-one sparring session between Rionne and Shin, and whether is it on pure strength or skill, both are actually quite even to thankfully draw the duel to a close faster than they realize. But as much as Rionne wants Shin to be part of the guard, he wants his life of freedom and rejects her request, though the Skullface sword is treated as a tribute instead of a marriage proposal since it was an accident to begin with. Books, not swords, interest Shin, and as they return, they're thwarted by another teleport that brings them to another land, it's Cardinal Greril being manipulated by mind-control magic, which is taboo.

Through saving the cardinal, Schnee realizes that the culprit is a demon with a name, which means that it's an intelligent species, knowing her inside out 500 years since the change of the game, which meant that the High Humans have returned in a new timeline. Thankfully, both Shin and Rionne are safe, and their troubles aren't over.

Just waiting for this to end, it's just borderline decent.

Wait, only 12 EP for season 1? The Holy Land wouldn't take that long and will lead straight to the next arc (almost without pause). What are they going to do abt Valmer-arc,
? That's quite a big arc, and will not be covered in mere 2 EPs.

@Kanebr_7 The "Players" are supposed to be gone from the world, and most of the other support charas are already moving on with their lifes (most becoming important public figures). Schnee is the only one still living in the past, hoping that someday her master, Shin, will returns. Ofc the Demons will mock her for her "stupidity", for hoping for the impossible, since the "Players" will never coming back again.

Under normal circumstances, she will lost her composure for this "mockery" on her "faith". But, this is no normal circumstances, since Shin has actually returned. So she has no longer reason to be irritated abt the Demon's "mockery/provocations".

Ah, another episode of Help, I'm Trapped in an Inconsistently Animated Slideshow.

Given that we've seen Rionne and Shin fight similar monsters and seen Rionne's reaction to some of Shin's feats (though not knowing it was him), we know Shin is far more powerful than her. My assumption is that when he adjusted his stats during the fight he tuned himself DOWN to make them appear even.

I wish he had fought until he humiliated the princess, after all, he fought with almost full strength against an old friend. It would be nice for him to show the princess how weak she is and that she doesn't have the strength to persuade him, as well as how he could destroy the empire if he wanted to. Furthermore, I felt sorry for Schnee's despair when she realized that Shin could have left. It is a trauma that haunts her. It hurt me to see her distress. Poor thing!

This episode made it difficult to continue watching this anime.

Might drop it if it doesn't improve next episode.

The story finally starting to get going, the demons make their move.

Rionne making a push for best girl lol, always nice to have a hot meathead waifu who loves fighting. The fight with Shin had lacklustre animation, but still was cool if only to see how powerful Rionne is. Ofc her offer to Shin to join the kingdom’s forces was never gonna accepted. Bro just wants access to the kingdom’s library so he can find a way out of this world.

Speaking of which, when the demon attack happened Schnee’s PTSD flaring up and calling Shin just to make sure he hadn’t left her again suddenly was really sad. Powerful as she is, she’s still a girl and been Shin’s loyal servant all this time. It’s a tough situation knowing he wants to leave her behind and go back home, but when you see how hard those 500 years were on her.. dunno how you could walk away from her.

The demon said the one thing you never say to schnee.. “your master abandoned you” RIP. At least he got to see a beautiful elf as his last sight. He did make a good point about the state of the world though, and I think that’ll ultimately be what motivates shin to stay, along with Schnee and Tiera.

Appalling animation for this episode.
But, it was an okay one.

It felt like they dragged this episode too much. Usually, this full length of a whole episode is about the half length of the previous ones, but they gave us a stretched one. Kinda disappointed in them.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Honestly not surprised at this point considering the pacing looks like they've dragged this conflict out to have the big battle in the end

Shin's more powerful than Rionne, I think, but he didn't reveal his true powers in that duel. I wonder how Rionne will react when she sees Schnee picking up Shin at that village...

So there wasn't anything special in this episode, but the scene of the race between the elves was cool, and the princess is very funny, but it was a slower episode, but the scene of Schenn destroying the demon was impeccable.

Feels like there's not going to be a conclussion with the pace of developments.

Quite the enjoyable show so far, but it seems unlikely there'll be a continuation.

But hey, at least we got more Schnee action in this episode.

Interesting, so the Demons are still alive even after the Demon Lord was killed by Shin back in the game.

But apparently the Demons didn't start to move til now... what were they doing? and why 500 years later? if they have started to move earlier, you would think they have the advantage cause Shin isn't here yet.

.

LOL @ that princess tho... she loves to fight more than she loves to talk, lol. "Talk with your Fist" is pretty much her trope.

And Shin apparently doesn't want to reveal his true abilities, so he's just going to have a date with the Princess in some old Holy Land...

But... main question is... why did the Demon teleport Shin and the Princess to some random place... but then the Demon itself stayed in the Castle? You would think the Demon would also go off and try to kill off the Princess or something... HUH?

.

Also, everyone's pretty much looking at Schnee with lewd eyes, LOL

(I know I would)
