| Freid gives off a scary vibe and could possibly be one of Hajime's biggest threats in the show, or even the franchise so far. On the other hand, maybe Hajime and his friends shouldn't of went that deep in that world in the first place. Tense battle though. Hajime knew Freid isn't a pushover and didn't hold back much. This feels like a protagonist running into a difficulty curve in a video game. |
 |
| Man, the Grand Gruen Volcano is one of Hajime's tougher challenges, that stream of light almost decimated his existence, and thank god for the harem which provides the only source of protection. And turns out it's from the demons lead by the God's Disciple Freid Bagwa, which the attack came from his dragon Uranos. Freid is no child's play, and it ostensibly shows. Even Tio going back on her dragonborn roots to par against Uranos, Freid is just trouble for first impressions. Escaping out of the volcano, Hajime has always put others in front of him to count on things that he can't do, such as Tio translating the message out on behalf. Nice to see Shizuku back again homing her sword skills, meow. Daisuke is more of a Hajime-hater heretic and the same obssessed Kaori fanatic, and will always be a hater of the most envy given how much Hajime's progressed stronger and faster than them. No surprise that Eri will try to taunt him into his crimes to defeat Hajime once and for all. This episode is easily the most impressive animation production so far when considering both seasons. |

| I loved this episode! Hajime and all his girls are fucking awesome :) |
| Hajime and co, except Tio are stuck in the volcano 2nd half is the prologue of one of the most satisfying arcs |
I am a useless student of society. Tests are my body and Grades are my blood. I have done over a thousand assignments. Unseen by teachers, nor done properly. Yet, those hands shall never hold an outstanding grade. So, as I pray... Unlimited Homeworks. |
| Well seems like this opponent will definitely be annoying, but that was some interesting development for Tio, especially with that sado-masochism ability xD it fits her for sure |
 |
| Pacing was a little better today, CGI did NOT improve from season 1 sadly. Cool to see how Hajime has grown to truly accept his companions as not just tools but legitimate friends he can rely on. Leaving it to Tio to deliver the message was really sweet. |
 |
| Lapped it up and loved it. Thank the anime gods we have something exciting to watch with mad-ass battles and sit back and enjoy popcorn crazy story. I have a few favs this season on shows, but at the moment this is the only one peaking my excitement on wild fantasy battles. Probably helps we into 2nd season so we have more feels for characters and are better emotionally invested in them, but things just keep kicking off, and kicking off the better! Lets go, next episode pls! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |

It has improved significantly, but if your coming from the blue ray version it isn't as noticeable (the tv version was something of legends). Also the cgi itself for dragons seems to be especially hard to animate, i've seen it in alot of series with cgi dragons, they just can't seem to get them right unless they give them the hollywood treatment. |

I’m on about exactly what I said. |

| Masochist dragon saves the day! Well Hajime himself was just as impressive, taking that beam and still living. Dragon CGI has definitely improved, was worth to watch and not cast it aside due to the sheer quality of S1. |
 |
| Lol this is so unbelievably dumb, but I can't stop watching solid 6/10 as well |
| It was good episode, just random demon spawn out nowhere to ambush whole party, and again CLIFFHANGER bruh. Idk CGI dragon still bad, but i see CGI black improve slightly. i really hope 2D dragon instead cgi tbh. |
| Hajime did pretty good considering he survived a direct hit from that dragon breath. lol I bet he will torture the shit out of that demon dude once he catches him. Still I wonder how they will escape the volcano, maybe instead of going up they could go down? But Hajime still has his material shaping powers too so I guess he could just make some kind of tunnel to keep the lava out. |
| Hajime managed to hold for so long, damn! I wonder how he and the others survived. Also, Tio's presence was really good in this episode! |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| I'm not sure if it's the animation/CGI or the color palette or possibly a combination of both, but that was really jarring to watch. You would have hoped that after such a long break between seasons that the quality would have improved, but no..... |
| Fight me, Shizuku-nyan indeed the best girl. |
   |
| I have a question, if Shea can see the future, why didn't she see the ambush? Also how did the bad guy found out, when she did nothing during the fight? |

Is that Eri part a spoiler or did i miss or forget something? Definitely a spoiler lol |
| It's been a long time since Hajime's been hurt this badly. I like it |
 |
| this is badass !!! |
| I actually like the animation now, way better than S1s CGI. The girls are still great. |
 |
| Finally some damn Tio development! You all noticed when she got the ring it went on her left Ring "finger" right?...yeahhh boy Shizuku cat was the best part of the episode. ^_^ |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Fall 2024 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| This show is still edgy...nothing more nothing less 2/5. |
 |
| Been a while since Hajime's struggled like this, that surprise attack really got him good. The action scenes were meh thou. Also looks like more troubles coming towards him. |
 |
| It's a good thing Hajime survived that attack. He really did struggle there. Freid Shizuku-nyan was amusing. Liliana is lucky to see that. |
 |
| Cgi looks better, obviously 2D would be more preferable but I'm fine with the CGI shown here. It's not gonna be the best like in Houseki no Kuni or AoT but at least it's not the worst like Berserk. |
| They are stuck in the volcano but at least Tio escaped. Finally a competent antagonist? I hope so. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Finally something to challenge Hajime and it took him by surprise as well, hope Tio makes it out to deliver the stillstone. |
| Nice to see Tio instead of being the pervert in the background now getting some spotlight by being a pervert in the foreground especially with that masochist ability boost. |
 |
| I wonder what item Hajime will get to make up for the temporary loss of his ring |
 |
| Why didn't they just escape on Tio's back? Does he need to stay in that volcano for some reason? |
| Bro with his waifus fighting in the Nether. |
| Tio's dragon form looks better this season. That pain conversion passive skill is nice. lol Decent action in this episode. |
