Oh this face~


As expected, Albedo still acts around with a silly look on her face. Then, there are the other characters who show respect to the skeleton dude. Looks like there's some rivalry going on between her Albedo and Shalltear lmao

Slow-paced episode. An in-depth introduction to the Guardians. Albedo and Shalltear have a thing going on over Momonga. It's pretty funny, the difference between Albedo in front of Momonga and Albedo with just the Guardians. Plus, she's pretty possessive. Look how jealous she got when Momonga gave Mare the teleportation ring first.

Also, I find Momonga trying to leave Nazarick in his Black Knight armor only to be caught by Demiurge interesting and a bit funny. He really doesn't have much freedom in Nazarick despite being the leader.

Anyway, it was a low key episode that continued the setup from last week but it looks like something's happening next week from the last scene of the episode.

Looks like they'll make a 1:1 material, which is what I'm worried for.


overall, 7.8/10 episode.

Why would you be worried? Because you think stuff will be rushed later? The titles we have of the next episodes show a 4 episode per volume with one left over. More than enough to end at volume three even if they take their time, the best place to end it.

A slow paced episode where we get to understand more of the guardians' personalities. I don't mind though, since it seems to be a nice build up to the next episode where action is probably going to take place. I really like Momonga as a character so far. Especially his inner monologues which is funny imo.

I really like the opening song too.

On another note....I hope future episodes don't get too rushed...well...if it is, i guess i will just read the light novel.

Anyway, this is a decent episode. Looking forward to the next one.

I love slow paced episode more than fast ones, so I'm loving this series so far!
Albedo is awesome, really like the vampire too, nvm I actually love all the characters so far, looking forward to see if they really re good in battle too!

Looks like next episode we will have some action. Let's see if Momonga is really the true lord.

The size of the sword Nabel's carrying though, damn.



Thing is you see scenes from vol 5 and 6 in the opening so not only 4. Im confident this season is vol 1-3 and next season will be season 4-6.

Wow, first ep implied the pacing will be way faster than this but this ep slowed down quite a lot. Nice.

It's hilarious how the guardians see Momonga in such a grandiose way and how he reacts to it. His "EH?!" are lol...must be tough acting all high and mighty like that 24/7 XD

Aura's "I'm only 76 so I can still grow" was lol and damn! Mare's a trap :P

The "U should've gotten wet" argument between Shalltear and Albedo was hilarious XD

Loved the scene when Momonga flew up viewing the world. Beautiful :3

And Dat Albedo jelly when she saw Mare having the ring before her lol

With this episode a new waifu war has started who will get mr. skeletons bone? I liked that we got some more insight on the guardians, but Mare being a boy? What is this show trying to do to me.
Now I just have to survive another week until the next episode.

"Fool!" -Excalibur (Soul Eater)
Spoiler: His true intention was to hide who the person using teleportation is. (He was the only one with the ring...)

... From what I learned in the chapters in the manga I've read so far, I didn't get the impression that the NPCs were self-aware to this level. They didn't appear to have a full concept of their "supreme being creators" as far as I could tell. Although this could change a lot of things, I feel it could just as easily tell what the manga does. I also believe this could lead to a more enjoyable anime than it would otherwise be.

Holy damn Albedo's facial expressions actually terrified me :o

Pretty funny how she acts all reserved and polite in front of Momonga then turns bat shit insane when he's gone.

It was a slow episode but I still enjoyed it.

And was that Dio I heard at the end there :D

Another great episode. I love that Madhouse is taking their time and not rushing things. Laughed my ass off when Shalltear got wet and said Albedo should've as well! It's nice that though he gets flustered on occasion, Momonga is able to present the image of a competent leader to all of his subordinates. Their undying loyalty to him is an excellent aspect, and I would hate to see that go.

This episode have nice pacing.

In the OP, I just realized that they put the part where
Gonna be pretty tough to put all in 1 season.

I love how Albedo shows her ultra crazy bitch side when she fight with Shalltear.

Not sure what to make of this show, but it does have enough new things to keep you watching despite what could be called an extremely slow plot.

Read your later point, and while I don't know the pace of the story, I think character development the first 2 episodes will prove to be worthwhile. It should make the chapters from here far more efficient.

It was an interesting decision to go slow the first two episodes, most productions wouldn't want to take that risk. So I am hoping it pays off.

I'm really loving the pacing of this so far. Madhouse are really doing the source material justice so far, so I'm currently very satisfied. Hopefulyl it doesn't get rushed in later episodes to fit in the stuff from the later volumes that appears in the OP (hopefully it's an indication for a second season in the future rather than an indication of this season being rushed to hell).

Oh yeah! A yandere! ❤ I'm loving Albedo's transformation from regal to freaky.





Making girls wet must be one of Momonga's special abilities.

It is interesting how the Guardians knows that their lord stayed with them to the end.

Never said better, just that it was a brave marketing decision. One doesn't have to think it is right to know that most people want things to go faster. I was complimenting their ability to buck that trend. That takes courage.

People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.
