| Damn, it seems in their age, even kids are trained like soldiers for combat. Seems this episode serves as another buildup but Akari and Menou knows their roles well now in the story. Orwell also seems like a reasonable person who continuously acts as Menou's higher up. Not as thrilling as the previous episode imo overall though. |
 |
| The worldbuilding in this show is pretty awesome. I love all those places and landscapes. Menou's backstory was probably the most interesting thing so far. That training was so brutal. Pouting Akari was cute, haha. She really wanted to go on a date with Menou. Aww. <3 |

| Akari's Pure Concept of Time magic power has both Executioners Menou and Momo debating about her as they make their way to Garm. This involves Menou's backstory with her Executioner Master Flare and Archbishop Orwell, and her journey with Flare opens her world to see that the Otherworlders have tarnished their world apart with their Pure Concept powers that brings out the 4 Major Human Errors. And so said that Menou wants to be like Flare when she grows up: to be Executioners killing off the Otherworlders being taboo entities to their world. I'm not surprised that Flare's teachings undoubtedly spiralled the innocent girls into oblivion of murder, and Menou taking up the mantle of being Flare's villain successor Flarette, that's what she was born to do. The trip to Garm and eventually Akari's ceremonial death ritual, Akari is all about the date with Menou while Menou wants to clear this job quick. Orwell keeping her busy with the acquaintance of events of missing young women with Momo's help, while Akari goes all jealous that Menou isn't paying attention to her before she gets home. It's clear that the Noblesse are the ones involved on the train disaster, and make haste on that investigation before all hell breaks loose. Serafos said: For once I agree, this is a different kind of Isekai.The worldbuilding in this show is pretty awesome. |

| Perhaps they got down to business there in the bedroom, but they cut away before we could ever find out. Oh well It's still quite a decent watch but it's just lacking that bit of charm to get me truly invested in what otherwise is a rather interesting world. |

| That was cool seeing her backstory. Its pretty obvious she's not gonna go through with having Akari killed or something will go wrong preventing her from dying. Ok now I'm getting Akuma no Riddle vibes with an assassin who might go against her order to protect a girl. (Even has one of the main character voices from Akuma no Riddle in here for Momo who played Haru) |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Things are not as they seem... It feels like Menou is fast approaching a crossroads, will she surpass Flare? Taboo I know but... how the fuck is this rated under 7 |

| This is weird, wth is happening to the princess knight? They kinda just forget about her. |
| some information on Menou's past. She ha s a good teacher. and Akari getting mad for not having a date. lol looking forward to next week! :) |
| It’s so refreshing to have an isekai show that’s not focused on the good guys and with a badass female mc. Absolutely love this show so much, world-building been great too. I really wanna learn more about the original sins and how civilisation fell. Looking forward to seeing how Akari gets out of things next week, too. People are really missing out on peak fiction here. |
 |
| Another great episode with Menou's past. Two girls vying for your attention is bothersome, desu ne, Menou-chan? The way Menou uttered "Momo..." as Momo crumpled the report is adorable. I guess my best girl is going to be Momo after all. Akari no hentai~. Yuri in animation is awesome. ***Excuse my Yuri obsession. Ahem** |
it’s never too late for life ... to go horribly wrong. . . afff~  |
| Next episode is titled "Goodbye" Me: Yeah right |
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load. |

They kinda just forget about her. That's good, it's just Momo's suddenly in the train even though they are still fighting at the end of 3rd episode and they kinda just went "yeah, I managed to run away". |
| Pretty effective backstory episode, I especially like the emphasis placed on how the executioners (or at least Flare and Menou) see themselves as the villains of this story, especially considering how they have a greater good justification they don't seem to be hiding behind since society as a whole sees them in the same light. Really interested in seeing where they go from here. |
| Trying out (almost) every anime that airs each season since 2018. |
| A very nice build up episode. We got to see Menou's past, seeing her training and how she was basically the only one who could go through it by basically not being able to thing emotions tells you something. These isekai people are really broken with their abilities and since they can get out of control no wonder why they want to kill them, the Salt Continent in itself tells you how dangerous they are. Akari wanted a date with her dear Menou-chan, and seems she will get it, I like their relationship, it is cute. Also, the next episode is obviously not a "goodbye" lol. |
| Once the civilization reached its peak with the prosperity, even beyond the skies, because of a rampant use of Otherworlders Pure Concept to the benefit of all people and even until the current time with how the language still being used. But for some reason, there's an error happened destroying all the civilization and all of its prosperity, making Flare and the church fraction took a blame to the Otherworlders as a whole cause of the error... Interesting back story, and surely a little blanched soul of Menou already being twisted by all those stigma. As the result, there's Menou as an executioner, the successor of Flare. Arrive at Garm, Akari was so excited to sight-seeing. But Menou assigned for some mysterious job by the Archbishop, making Akari slightly mad to the unfortune she got. But ofc the plot won't let the yuri scene be wasted. Momo once again assigned as a cannon fodder for the happiness of Menou and Akari. As long as i feel bad for the little pink girl with every task she got, its still curious how the plot evolve around with all those information. Will be patience till the next week.... |

Ardi8 said: Through what Flare said, mean they don't kill because they wanted to save the world, instead just for being evil? Next episode called "goodbye", Akari will be executioned? yea? its been established since episode 1, menou admitted that she's a villainess and the boy was just a victim but the lost ones must die no matter what why? in this episode menou said the she hates em for what they did to her hometown and for the chaos they caused all around the world |

| 4 episodes in and I'm falling in love with this anime. Great storytelling and world building. Characters are likeable as well. It doesn't deserve the current score though. |
My Candies:    |
| Man, this show is really fucking good so far, I'd say it's one of the top tier isekais so far. Also really love the OP, I've been listening to the full version everyday ever since I watched the first episode lmao. Menou's backstory was really great, I think Flare's cool as hell, but we don't really know her motivations yet and there's definitely more to her. Those eyebags and tears she had has me wondering. Yay, Akari got her date, she very sneaky though, yeah right "oops my towel dropped," sure sure. Orwell seemed very sussy at the end there. Really looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| This is the best episode yet. But that's a low bar (probably pissed off a few fans saying that cause truth be told I'm not a fan of this series tbh) Well.... At the backstory did develop who Menou became to be what she is now. Also credit where it's due the worldbuilding ain't half bad. |
daft_mariner said: The backstory, while not poor, still didn't really give much as to why the otherworlders apparently all turn into uncontrolled threats and why murdering them is the only option. They showed that the girls don't want to murder like that: which makes sense, and Menou is apparently twisted enough to nullify those emotions. However, I'm still waiting for way, way more information than just this. Faust are still a lunatic cult so far, and admitting that they're the 'villains' doesn't make their case any better. I think this backstory could've been saved for a more fitting moment, rather than just in-between the ride. I'm a bit confused as to why we had to see that blonde princess on board, other than meeting the main cast. It was a convenient happenstance that wasn't really elaborated on this episode, which I thought was awkward after the fact. Especially now that I think her fight with Momo didn't need to happen, honestly. Even if it's supposed to be beef. For some reason Menou has to investigate something about missing women. Archbishop asked another perspective on it, but I think it's weird that they're asking someone whose already occupied with another job: handling Akari, which is a pretty important job based on how Faust reacts to Lost Ones. So why aren't they getting another priest to do it? Or several other ones? I mean, I get it that the plot is doing it so that they have stuff to do and they get to be involved, but it seems a bit heavy-handed to me that the only reason is because Menou needs the money for travel. She isn't already getting paid for dealing with two otherworlders? If Noblesse really is orchestrating something screwed up, I'm starting to question how that faction is still even standing. They seem way too shady for them to be so influential. I hope the coming episodes start delving into these things. Noblesse can't be in the dark for too long, or all of this just seems too over the top. I say all of this because nothing much has happened so far, but I like some of the worldbuilding it seems to be heading towards. I see some people have complained about the score: but I personally think it's valid up to this point. I'll keep watching. nobody says killing the lost ones is the only choice tho the lost ones have been around in that world at least for centuries, its clearly shown from how advanced the technology and civilization are and emanity did try to make a peace with the lost ones at the very least 4 times already. as its showcased in the flashback they were about to go the space, exploring the galaxy lol but things gone wrong and it became one of the 4 major human errors (or the lost one errors) likely millions also died, like what happened to the salt continent the reason why the princess went to garm along with momo, menou and akari would be revealed myb in the next episode the princess had all the reasons to attack priestess momo, his daddy was in trouble cuz he got caught by the faust/church you know? the princess also mentioned the infamous executioners from the church/faust whi killed the lost ones his daddy summoned might also be on board with em. apparently the church is hiding the fact that they have been killing the lost ones the whole time actually the princess really tried to kill momo but momo was just too strong lol she's even a lot stronger than menou, arguably the 2nd strongest executioner, the princess then fell in love with momo instead lol well she said that "she loves strong and beautiful things" menou is similar to a soldier, one of the church's soldiers. its shown in the flashbacks that she's not just a regular priestess, flare once warned her, she was like "are you sure you dont want to be just, a regular priestess?" lol as a soldier, would you dare to question you superior orders? |

| Hmmmmm .... I really want to drop this right now . It's been so uninteresting and annoying to watch especially the characters . but I am curious as to what happens to akari . as in what the twist is going to be . 1 more ep i guess,........ |
daft_mariner said: Strykeryno said: Try to manipulate the summons. Sabotage them. Try to influence the Noblesse faction from the inside and/or outside. Influence the population to oppose it. Attempt a war. Influence the population to oppose it as much as you can. Try to figure out why Noblesse's collective braincells equal an ape's. Try anything and keep trying before doing that.I think that literally 4 annihilated and turned into inhabitable continets are already a good excuse why the church doesn't want a potential walking nukes around. It was also stated that more the Lost ones use their powers more it will corrupt their minds or they can accidentely annihilate something like the girl from Menou's past. And since there is no way how to send them back home it's somewhat understandable that this is a ''necessary evil'' - They observe the astral vein where they are summoned, they actually try to stop them, but some of them just get out of their hands. - How are they going to manipulate the faction? - The population won't do anything, how are they going to stop the Noblesse when they don't have the power to even fight againts them? At least from the Commoner standpoint afaik. - I don't think a war makes sense to stop them and most likely won't do good either. - Again, the influence of the population most likely won't do anything. And at the point where they just get summoned, what are they going to do aside form killing them? They can't just capture them and make them stay. |
| @daft_mariner there's a good reason why the noblesse mages apparently didnt seem to fully comprehend the forbidden magic of summoning the lost ones, as you said before they were unable to detect the "null" boy ability iirc there are 2 reasons, but that would be spoilers. Idk about the anime but its clearly explained in the light novel |
Lab_Rat_0978Apr 23, 2022 5:23 PM
| The time is coming for Akari's doomsday; I imagine she will rewind time after the event, but what will the repercussions be? I'm actually really interested on how this goes. |
 |
haha me thinks Akari's gonna use a different kind of power and resurrect ALL of the people who got isekaied and got killed and its gonna be CHAOS!!! HAHA LOLZ |

daft_mariner said: Lab_Rat_0978 said: I think this is a far-fetched assumption, though. 'Etheric Connection' should be rather common, no? I hardly believe Faust are far more advanced regarding this.

Idk about the anime but its clearly explained in the light novel welp, its explicitly stated the noblesses under princess ashuna's daddy (the king) had no idea how to summon the lost ones until the faust deliberately told em about it then you tell me iF there's an anti-feat regarding this 'etheric connection' iirc we've never seen anyone capable of such a feat except menou and flare, no? its also been established that even menou is capable of invoking magic that couldn't be comprehended by nobles soldiers, no? |
