Tbh, I think Shinn and Rionne's partnership is better than anything this anime has done so far. Plus, she's strong, independence, with an aura of confidence. Of course the show would throw in some fan service for giggles...

They ran into a griffin although I thought the fight this episode was kinda awkward. About time Shinn got more serious again.

Shin and Rionne in the Holy Land of Calkia...which is a dungeon in and of itself, at least he's considerate of the princess, and himself at the sight of monsters to eliminate them on the spot without risking and revealing his abnormal skills, especially in the sight of high-level dangerous monsters. And Rionne getting almost a fair few circumstances of fanservice (that Shin would not want impurity to act on his behalf), at least the latter is prepared that he has a set of clothing for her, even training her along the way as a princess of royalty.

The both of them witnessing a rather huge monster egg, and spawning an ice griffin from that, it's no slouch if they worked together to bring it down, which they did. But its regenerative abilities add a wrench to their plans, and that's no problem for Shin going all out to defeat it and buy time for Rionne to find the magical device that also powers its regeneration, to exit the dungeon in one piece. Of course, Rionne would take every chance to snuggle up to Shin, as if she's talking to a friend she knows in a very long time.

A monster horde heading for Valmer, that's trouble...

this is the most boring, shit crap, trash self insert anime of the season.

sadly I will watch it till the end, I'm invested, if only slightly. Schnee and the other elf waifu are the only redeeming points.

The levelling system seems to make zero sense, or even matter in any conceivable way

I quite enjoy this little adventure with the princess. I like her cool yet feminine demeanor, and I like looking at her in general.

This show is absolutely nothing special but I'm still looking forward to every new episode^^

Oh and yeah, I was wondering too why she didn't noticed that his clothes have changed. Thought he wanted to fly under the radar as much as possible.

"It's annoying that I can't flex my skills right now. Why do I have to play with restrictions when I'm not in the game world?"

You don't have to. You choose to for idiotic plot reasons. It's not as if, were you discovered, anyone could make you do anything you don't want to do. The "if XYZ found out they'd make me join them or marry them or something," danger is stupid nonsense. Not to mention, he can relocate with ease and/or disguise himself with cosmetics items if he wanted to use his full power but also live a anonymous life part of the time.

The entire show is centered on a false premise, as are most of its contemporaries. The whole "I want to live a relaxed life" thing in so may isekai/OP MC shows is just a lazy trope, very similar to the "I have a large army, but have to only use a small group of main characters instead, because reasons that will inevitably and immediately prove false or backfire" trope in a lot of media.

Rionne I love you. Special woman.. she looked great in every outfit 😍

I loved this episode, but couldn’t help but think how it should’ve been over in like 30 seconds because Shin could’ve dog walked any opponent in that dungeon 💀

I don’t get why he feels like he needs to constrain himself and not show his abilities. Even if people know how strong he is, it’s not like anyone can make him do anything he doesn’t want to do. You’re the only one constraining yourself to video game rules my boy!

But I’m kinda ok with it since it gave us an opportunity to get some Shionne and Shin development as well as flesh out her character more. I’m a big fan of the sheltered attractive princess who’s never had someone be casual with them trope. Rionne was so happy to just be able to have a normal conversation and interaction with someone.

How did she not see Shin transform and kill the dungeon monster though? Surely all that transformation magic made some noises and a scene lmao. Oh well.

Really cute end to the episode. Shin casually adding another beautiful girl to the harem. Lucky mf.. not ready to say goodbye to this next week:/

Fine episode with MC and the princess.
The most notable thing about this episode is they added the OP as the bgm when he was killing the monster. It was cool, but it should've been used in the previous, epic scenes as well.

Well played marinate 1016.
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.

What's with the sudden quality increase? It's not much, and doesn't really make the EP any special, that's just how bad all the prev EPs was, but still a quite improvement at least. At least the animation is no longer bugging out.

As I'm afraid from last EP. This is only a 12 EPs anime, which mean next EP is last. Did they really attempt to force compact Valmer defence into a mere 1 EP? That's no longer ambitious, but straight up suicidal really. Valmer defence is NOT supposed to be as simple as Shin and party fighting a monster stampede after all, there should actually be VERY important built ups and plenty of VERY important expositions happening prior to the battle
. I honestly have no idea what the last EP would look like.

Ofc, best case scenario, they will left the last EP end inconclusively, which would mean we wouldn't be having Valmer defence next EP. And instead adapting the entire Valmer-arc in either a movie (highly doubt this) or an OVA series consisting of at least 2-3 EPs. But we never know....

@Morcombe1990 Actualy, they are... This EP is actualy acurate to the LN, Holy Land straight up lead to Valmer-arc, with Shin and Rionne spotting a monster stampede heading out towards Valmer. This mark the start of Valmer-arc. These are all cannon in the LN as well (dunno abt the manga since I don't read them tho)

The real question should be: Are they really going to compress Valmer defence into a single EP finale? And how is that even possible?

PS: In fact, one saving grace for this anime adaptation is actualy bc they are loyal to the source materials (LN version) at every corner. Granted that they still do cut off some materials from the LN, but they never change anything from the LN. For example: Youjo Senki adaptation is heavily modified from the original LN (i.e. Grants joining 203rd since its formation and Anson Sue's return after Fjord are both anime original). The alterations works greatly, but still heavily modified. However, so far The New Gate's adaptation is completely loyal to the LN, for better or worse...

It's really suspicious to see that his attack got absorbed. Hopefully that it's not going to be analyzed by bad people and make a replica of it.

Feels like the MC is sorta showing off his game knowledge to the Princess and making a good impression, lol.

This is like a sort of "dungeon dating".

.

And the usual "NICE SLIME" that removes just the clothings. Best monster ever.

The Princess's "little screech" was cute, hehe...

And Shin gave her his cloth to wear... that's a "never gonna be washed" collection now, lol.

Also... Shin somehow... used a "game bug" in this Isekai world... hmm... I guess since it used to be a Game world, all the bugs still exists?

.

hmm... white orb that sucks like a mini blackhole.

Meanwhile Shin activated some golden glow... that he doesn't know of? HUH? So it wasn't part of his original power?

Is shin going supersaiyan?

BTW... did Shin just leave the dungeon with his offensive gear and limit still "off"? and the Princess suspects nothing? LOL

In fact... the Princess closes in to try and capture MC... (but we all know the MC is immune to cute girl's advances, evidence A: Schnee)

There's an atmosphere going on between Shen and the princess and the company has already noticed and it's coming at the speed of light lol, now seriously this episode showed that he has a lot of appeal in terms of strength compared to the other guys, this ending is going to be epic, the audiovisual quality may not be the best, but the story is very good and the characters are very charismatic.

- The slime monster was here for one reason only. Y'all know what that is 😋

- The show is still on a budget, being unable to maximize the action sakuga during the fight scenes. The OP playing during the ice griffin fight had to carry the scene.

- I see Tierra is just along for the ride in this episode. Literally.

- Schnee is really possesive of Shin. I was actually expecting her to arrive at the last minute at Shin's camp before the episode ended.

- Rionne: "You really won't do it?" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Careful now princess, you don't want to get on Schnee's bad side would you?

Show's just like "Hey you hung in this far; here's the princess' awesome rack" and I respect that.

Although I did like the team up, it was actually a fun pairing and little one episode adventure. I feel kind of bad for Schnee. MC won't commit to sticking around and then he's cuddling with the princess. She's right to be jealous and force march that way. "I'm not angry." Peak AI achieved. I don't know what the MMO was like before, but it has achieved sentience now.

Maybe the worst use of an OP I've seen. Normally it's for some emotional or climactic moment. Here it's for a fight with no stakes the hero had absolutely zero problem winning against the lamest representation of a griffin in popular culture. And it was kind of brief anyway. Just weird and clumsy use.

Now that there's a mob of baddies I'm hoping to see Schnee and and Shin go all out on them for a bad ass send off.

Loved how shnee got a jelly and flustered, and all the lowkey flirting with the princess. Damn and dat horde looks like a fun battle.

Behold of my awesomeness~

This is exactly what I was thinking. Dude is strong enough to do whatever he wants without anyone being able to stop him. He can tell the princess and the king to f off and they won't be able to do anything about it. The writing here was real dumb.

A dungeon in the old holy city and Shin has to use all his powers. The princess sure is impressed and sort of falls for him. Schnee is a bit envious no doubt with the speed she is traveling to meet Shin. So what is the horde of undead at the end? Looks like a big finale coming up.
