| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- It was an alright episode. Brain is introduced and we get a bit of action involving Shalltear. I thought she got quite blood thirsty in the fight though and wow.... Pretty intense stuff. Well I thought Shalltear's voice and personality was well portrayed in this episode in particular with her bloodlust.  |

| Shalltear's true vampire form looked brutal. Wish they didnt just skim through the massacare & put more details and some explainations in it about shalltear, but oh well.

Though this episode was pretty bad adaptation wise, it was still entertaining. I looked up in credits and Manabu ono (the director of mahouka) worked on the storyboard for this episode. Not surprised much about the rushed pace now. There are still 3 eps remaining, maybe they'll handle the later stuff better. Or go typical madhouse LN adaptation route & make a rushed/original ending. |

| Imagine a berserk anime by Yoshiaki kawajiri at Madhouse. Now take a look at Berserk (2016). YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO CRY. |
| They can't handle the fight better if they keep using this abomination of animation. The characters look like complete shit sometimes and in 10 episodes i can remember only 2 parts where the show had decent animation. |

Arcanix said: lol Shalltear's true form could use some work as well uhh, and never mind the very shortened duel with Brain at least put some effort in it. I mean what on earth was that slash... I think even I could've caught that barehanded. They can't handle the fight better if they keep using this abomination of animation. The characters look like complete shit sometimes and in 10 episodes i can remember only 2 parts where the show had decent animation. It's hard to even look at it to compare it with this. |

| They are paying the price for making vol.2 5 episodes. |
| 日本人はイッちゃってるよ あいつら未来に生きてんな |
| Jesus the feedback is concerning me. Where did guys you watch it? |
| Wow how quickly people do a 180'''cause of a single episode....hey they sacrificed the content of the first 2 chapters in order to go into full detail for the last 3 chapters...which if u think about it are the real highlight of volume 3......as for the animation.....a lot of there production staff have already been committed to one punch man and ore monogatari so they are streched to thin....overlrod had the unlucky position of being stuck in between...i sitll loved this episode despite the flaws... |
| Very fast pacing for this episode. I wonder how they're going to adapt the last 3 Anyway, I still enjoyed the episode nonetheless |

| Not too impressed with this episode but it was still pretty enjoyable. |
| It could've been better, a lot of action, but not much explanation. 4/5 |
| The previous I think it was a better episode. |

Well I thought Shalltear's voice and personality was well portrayed in this episode in particular with her bloodlust. ] Yeah, that's one of her forms though i'm not sure if that's her true form or just a transformation [spoiler]if i was to guess, it's either that form or her bloody valkyrie form. |
| Not surprised. Knew they were going to rush since they made volume 2, 5 episodes. But at least they gave themselves a bit more time to do the last 3 episode right. By how much, who knows. Hopefully the last fight is animated well. |
Feels rushed, but still entertaining to me..  And Solution... is flat out scary. I know boobs are considered a weapon, but to kill people with it is otherworldly. D: Nice to see alot of Shalltear in this episode! |
 |
| So what exactly were Shalltear, Gobas and the maid doing here? I must have missed the explanation, i was at least confused. Otherwise, seems like Shalltear fell in the hands of mind control :/ |
| Rushed is hardly can expressed it as people noted. And looking at the op... I'm afraid that instead of dedicating all remainging episodes to volume 3 they may also cramp some of volume 4 in there >_> |

Beacuase they cut it off completely as much as a lot of other stuff in this episode. It have whole 2 damn chapters cramped in it. |
| Jesus her monster form is ugly and terrifying. |

| Thanks everyone! |
| Seems there was some rushing going by the comments here, which is kinda disappointing given how well they've paced everything prior to this. Was anything signficant skipped though? The animation was pretty poor as well. Shalltear's other form (whatever the hell THAT was) and her fight with Brain in particular were very poor. Still a pretty good episode though, especially with how interesting things are becoming. I'm hoping Ains has to fight Shalltear so we can see him fight someone who is close to, or even on, his level of power. Also, that scene of the guy getting killed by boobs is one of the most disturbing things I have seen in a while, though that whole sequence was extremely violent (and, of course, censored). |

| MC's guildmates were pretty messed up to come up with a monster like that. Other players could be traumatized by something like that in a VR environment. Episodes are over way too fast. Once again, it's a huge shame they didn't make into OVAs with longer episodes and more time to work on it. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| well.. Shalltear disappointed me in this episode.. an OP vampire transformed form is some sort of savage beast.. that is braindead weakling... le sad... |

| Super rushed... well, it can't be helped. |

| Well didn't think Shalltear's true form would look so... well like an ugly monster... and she seemed a bit insane in that form too |
| I personally liked this episode. Ended too quickly ;-; That is one fugly transformation though, Shalltear. |
| At least we are done with all the brain crap even if it was rushed. I expect good things from the remainder of the volume. |
|
| Shalltear's transformation was just.....ugh, that was creepy. And Albedo was funny at the end haha. Seems like this episode was rushed according to the LN readers, that's a shame. Hopefully the last few episodes aren't that bad. |

| Shalltear was beautiful this episode. <3 |
