THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Oh...the Hortensia Orthodox Church Ecclesiastical Order, this group is a snitch. And for Alfred to get summoned by Captain Georg himself, there's surely a reason why: investigating an abandoned village of undeads suffering from a witch's plagued curse. It's no wonder Marius has opinions against the Church.

The Magonian Requiem flower from last episode, that flower is a medicine to the undead, much less them going crazy.

A new character shows up Deflotte, and simultaneously a citizen of the former village, the son of the priest and subjected to "God's Trial" of a epidemic.

Well, look at how the tables have turned against Alfred and Co. by the Ecclesiastical Order, and a giant undead as a relapse. Looking at how things are going, there's only one way to find out: recruit Deflotte and find answers to peace across the land.

Am pretty surprised that it adapts the 3 manga chapters available, mixes and added things around so it doesn't feel rushed. And yeah, it's boring as hell, but I don't care.

This episode was kind of boring, decent episode I guess. Deflotte is joining the knights, we're probably gonna see more of him from now on.

An investigation while meeting the next member of the squad. Deflotte seems like a good dude, I liked his character introduction in this episode. Alfred, Marius and Maurice going to this quarantine village, quite a topical subject these days, to see what's going on wth the literal undead seen roaming around. We got more information about this Orthodox Church who've basically taken over authority in the Kingdom since the uprising and young king being crowned. With this Pope essentially having control over everything and letting his church rule with an iron fist. Even over the Royal Knights like we saw as they came to assault our group at the end of the episode. Sad for Deflotte having to learn his whole village had been killed by a plague including his dad. I'm glad that he decided to become a knight and join Alfred

Deflotte joined them, I liked him in this episode so it's nice to see that. The dad was ready to if that would make his son live. Good episode.

It's been 3 episodes of character introduction with filler stories. All but ep 1 were incredibly boring. I'm just hoping that the plot to retake the kingdom picks up a bit with the next episode.

What a sad fate for the village to be quarantined and to pray for a natural cure for the disease that they were going through. Deflotte the son of the priest visits after that has happened and in the end, Deflotte joins the party.

Deflotte seems like a realiable and likeable guy, glad to have him onboard. His and the village's story was a sad one.

Marius worrying for Alfred was sweet. I hope we get to see Afred learning her true gender in this season.

This show gets shittier and shittier with every passing episode and not the fun SCAT kind either, more like the after Taco Bell dinner kind.
It'd be more interesting if the new guys criminal charges weren't fake, molestation sounds fun......ask my dad????
The Fights and story were so boring I started phone surfing and found an article about Kevin Smith's Fleshlight collection that was more interesting than this.
And just bang your reverse trap already, come on! She looks nothing like a dude....nothing! If she was next to me and said she's a guy, then give me a show on Bravo cause I'm gayer than RuPaul eating out Elton Johns ass during Carnival.... Now that's gay!

Quarantined village. Oh, no! Its revived the memories!
Anyway, that new character looked so decent. He was so good with his spear, and pretty much useful enough at the battlefield. A former bounty hunter, evolved to the real knight. Not bad, Deflotte.

Its also confirmed more of the bad church involvement, and Pope's authoritarian toward a certain territories that somehow led them into a disaster. Even the church formed their own guardian unit from a former Hortensia royal knights under their direct supervisions.

Fortunately a independent state like Albert dominion was more appropriate and free from the influence of the palace orders. Even though, Albert Lord movement was almost under their heavy observation and should obey the command they ordered, proof by these episode event. Curious to see the interaction between them and those church order captain to see the truth behind his action.

Just to be clear, the first time marius used the flower incantation and it didn't work on the undead was it because she used an Immortelles flower, and that's why it glowed red and they attacked her, rather than when she used a requiem flower on the big guy at the end and it turned blue, removing his regeneration? Since both flowers look basically identical. Otherwise, I really enjoyed this episode, the new character deflotte is pretty cool though, and a pretty decent guy. I'm looking forward to seeing how he integrates as a main character, and what kind of interaction will happen when they meet up with george again. The whole village stuff with zombies was pretty interesting too imo, a little bit different than what has happened so far. Looking forward to this show.

When in doubt just add zombies. Who cares about characterization?
I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die.

Ughhh, dropped this is just too boring. It's worse than King's Raid and I managed to last 10 episodes for that. If the new guy had asked Marius why she was dressed like a guy I would have stuck around but this show isn't that clever.

Solved the current crisis, gained a new ally, even had some suspicious visitors and learned a little bit of the village's past, but we never really found out what actually happened to all the villagers. Unless the church knows more, since they were there now as well to silence them, this will be quite a big question left hanging.

damn, the poor village left to cling onto what little hope they had left before becoming zombified lol. At least the new guy managed to get his peace somewhat and is now part of the crew and maybe part of the harem as well hehehehehe

As usual your post is about finding that ONE little thing to pick on. So that's what you get from an entire episode - the Japanese pronounced a foreign word wrong! What a weird personality.

I'm a little behind (gonna watch ep4 after posting this), but this series has passed the "3 episode rule" for me to keep watching. It's interesting because this title is based on a video game, is rated low, and doesn't seem that popular. Those three aspects were also seen with Magatsu Wahrheit last season, and I absolutely enjoyed that one and hope that a second season comes out for it eventually. I've never played either video game either.

Hmm this is starting to be a lil bit interesting once again after episode 1 with all that sus mission from church.

Although the rank of this anime is surprisingly bad hihi, feels like I am the only one who enjoy this :)

The quarantined village was filled with the undead. It was sad to see the past of Petale village. Deflotte is also a cool character. He can fight. He is very loyal to his village as well. The politics in this anime is real. And Deflotte is going to become a knight now, through Albert’s recommendation.

Good to see a new member joining, but since we only know about Deflotte originially being from the village I'm a bit curious to why he is a wanted man with many 'false' accusations
