The more I think about it, the more I kinda feel bad about Seth. The kid gets caught up in this war drama.

At least he's got more allies now. The whole mystery about the abyss could be very important this arc. The cliffhanger....Jill!

the animation in this ep seemed painfully bad, the budget probably got redirected for some epic final fight, but god damn did the ep suffer from it.

Oh, look like I'm not the only one who notice the quality drop in this episode, though for me it's just a little bit. But the sync between mouth and sound is quite bad. Sometimes the character move the mouth but we can't hear that.

This might have been the worst episode so far in terms of quality, and it sucks because the plot is really good right now and season 2 has been going really well.

I really hope you're right and they're just putting more animation budget into the later episodes, but this really had me worried. Even the still images looked really bad as if drawn by a completely different studio.

Typical shounen crap Make everything hopeless until the hero gets a powerup until Deus ex machina rolls in

The way this is going it's gonna be a repeat of Rumble town. I hope nothing bad happens to Myr and his family. Melie was the best in this episode XD.

Lots of story and twists and turns right now. The animation drop is jarring but I hope it pays off later.

She really was and she didn't even have to fight anyone to do it.

When the content is getting better, the animation has to suffer, a win-lose situation. Maybe even the worst looking episode in the series to date, if counting Season 1.

In the skies, Ocoho fighting against the Inquisition and their new-found Merchant Barons' Fantasia-neutralizing tool (Harmonizium), while Seth reels in the difficulty of Diabal trying to hide against the Inquisition, most particularly Piodon, and Myr and Jill feeling the effects of the time-stopped forest. But most ultimately, the real target is Seth, the reason why the Inquisition and the Thaumaturges are in cahoots.

And dang, Melie got caught in Dragunov and Liselotte's issue, and naive Seth came to the rescue, with the same emotions felt during Rumble Town. But she's playing the game smart.

Meanwhile, Lord de Guils (also a naive one) also got caught in the affairs of the Inquisition with spy Mordred.

In all of this while the Inquisition and Thaumaturges gain the unexpected hand, Cyfandir is in danger, Queen Bordica, Ocoho and the Knight-sorcerers, and especially Seth and Melie. What is truly the Merchant Barons' reasoning to start the war?

heyo, towards the end, since when melie gets kidnapped and dragunov gives the hard talk to seth, the background music is super, i think it was same when dragunov was meeting with the merchants. any idea how to listen to that soundtrack?

I have this feeling from last episode that Myr and his hidden realm is going to be affected by the Fantasia neutralizing thing... Cause they're still technically just hiding in the forest.
And the forest gets hit... Hope the Pixie kids and Jil doesn't die at the end as an result of this... that would be literally genocide done by the Inquisition.

Also... Seth... again... this dude literally does nothing until the very end every single time...

I wonder what the hell Dragunov is doing... is he going to help Seth or is he just stalling Seth until every other sorcerer is dead...

And I also wonder about Seth's brother/ kindreds... are they already captured by the Inquisition and turned to moot? or are they also hiding somewhere?

Cause you would think if they're still alive and free, they would come help the Sorcerers, since technically the Horn-ones are also sorcerers, and if the Inquisition kills off all the sorcerers, they can then easily go after the horn-ones and kill them off without any Sorcerers in their way.

And the Spy is Mordred... which we already suspect at the beginning of this arc as a traitor, except we thought he was the one that summons Spectres... turns out he's even a bigger spy that's out to kill his own friends for money.

Unfortunately, Nobody listened to Okoho, and now a large amount of sorcerers are dead. Also, Mordred is even more evil than one could think.

The forest is dying, fast. Can Seth stop the inquisition before it's too late?

I know the animation isn't the best but this episode bothered me, really looked weird with the movements and stuff which is disappointing considering the plot really is getting better. Damn I knew Marmot was a traitor but didn't expected him to turn out to be that merchants son. They better not kill Myr's wife nor his children

Looks like the animation went downhill in this episode. I'm surprised to know Mordred's father lol.
