| This anime has a colosseum, school bullying, etc. It's like they added every magical academy trope and stuffed it into this show. At least it's about time Oliver finally stepped in to take some action. Nanao also demonsrated her fearless nature again. I swear, she fights with intensity almost every time we see her in action. |
 |
| Another banger episode. The fight was really good. Nanao looked really cool. |
| Another J.C. Staff masterclass Best episode so far |
 |
| Animation was very good especially during the fight. Didn't expect Andrews would help and Nanao dealing the final blow was 🔥. |
| 4 episodes in , this show isn't all that different from ur usual magical school anime. Why did LN fans hype this up like it would be revolutionary? |
| "I didn't forget! I just couldn't remember!" Is there a difference? Genuine question. The OP is really growing on me. The fight with the garuda has some really nice camera movements. And Oliver is as suspicious as ever. I wonder if we'll get his backstory this season (and it hasn't been confirmed if this will be one or two cours it seems. Two cours would be nice) This episode was really well animated, nice! One of the best episodes so far. This episode title: コロシアム（円形闘技場）— Colosseum (Circular arena) Next episode title: グレアー（蛇眼）— Glare (Snake eye) |
 |
| Absolutely love the visual animation style JC staff went with for the Garuda fight. Those camera movements were amazing. The disrespect this series has got in terms of its score is ridiculous. Think they did the best scenes of volume 1 justice. It really drove home how terrifying and brutal the Garuda was. Another masterclass from them. Nanao is so badass, I love her so much. Having the courage to stand up to all those students gathered there and call them out for abusing the animals, as an outsider and foreigner, took tremendous courage. Really no complaints with the episode at all. The LN goes into more detail about what was happening in the audience and describes the attacks on the students in grizzly detail, but that’s about it. Anime of the season. |

It was a good episode.. The plot is progressing at a good rate so that's a relief.. The duel event itself had some good animation [even standing to the bully scene before that].. Maybe it's due to following source material, but the duel felt a bit hackneyed.. But still overall an enjoyable progressive episode.. |
 |
| Not surprised that this episode ended up being pretty strong, but I knew why was going to happen anyway. All the build up the previous week is starting to pay dividends. Def the best episode by far. Can't wait to see how they handle next week and especially one the after that. Cestlavie_ said: Same reasons any sources reader and including yourself hype adaptations of their favorite works, because we have experienced a lot more of it than you. Nobody called it revolutionary anyway, just that is one of best modern magical academy stories out right now. Why not just watch rest of show to find out instead of fishing for complaints.4 episodes in , this show isn't all that different from ur usual magical school anime.

| That fight scene was really top notch. There are plenty of things I like about this show so far (the world building is interesting, the characters are distinctive but likable, the music is pretty good, I really like the OP, etc.), but the animation has been one of the strengths in my opinion. And even though I thought the animation was relatively solid at the start of this episode and previously, the fight with the Garuda really surprised me with its overall quality (dynamic camera movements, interesting choreography, etc.). This show might not be my favorite of the season, but it has done enough to make me want to see more for certain. |
| Monsters exacting vengeance upon humans was the best part of the episode. Nanao fight was entertaining hope we get to see best girl in more fights in following episodes. |
  ❤ Incessant Rain ❤ “Can you let me have some fun this time?”  |
| finally a good episode |
If by "couldn't remember", it is implied that "couldn't recall", there is a different. Otherwise not. |
| On one hand, we still don't have a story, we had characters, in fact we have many characters, and they all have motivations, and the show also has thems, but we still don't have a plot. On the other hand, loved the violence in this episode. |
| Self defense, bro. Same thing with people, it's wrong to kill people yet you have to defend yourself. |
| my fucking god was this epic the fight and music was so ultra thrilling and i think the last time that the people pissed me so hard off was in shieldbro ep1 when that thot talked shit those fucking magician subhumans they all deserved to get their fucking faces smashed on the ground to know their place with demiurges obey skill |
 |
| That turned into a mess fast, maybe those ignorant brats will learn a lesson from this and become better humans. Cause Andrews sure became good fast. Action was pretty good, Nanao fought well. |
 |
| Wow they are all so toxic in this school. Because of the source material readers, i have high hope for this anime. We will see, crazy, bloody episode so far. |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| The fight scene was absolutely sublime. Putting aside the animation itself, the angles and framing they used was so effective at portraying the menacing, imposing figure that was the garuda. That look in its eyes is all you need to know that its going to frick things up. And man that sound design. The amazing sound design was already apparent during the Nanao Oliver duel. That same sound design is used here to great effect. Every spell cast, every strike, every clash, every impact can be felt keenly thanks to the booming sound effects that really sells the gravity of the fight. I feel jittery just from that alone. And then there's the animation itself. The animation conveys the impacts in tandem with the sound. Combined with great use of camera angles. And you have me reeling in tension throughout the fight. It was worth holding back the budget in the Salvadori & Rivermoore fight just for this. Bravo JC Staff |
| Where were the school authorities when that megasized angry bird was about to slaughter every living being from its sight? Also they really did redeem that annoying prick lol. Damn. |
 |
| The animation was good, but everything else is still a mess. |

| Oliver seems weak compared to Nanao after this ep, and the animation was beautiful! |
| I am not entertained with this episode |

| Their detention setup is unbelievably harsh, resembling a medieval dungeon prison. Surprisingly, the sarcastic remarks from both Nanao and Guy about their body count added a touch of humor to the situation. Moreover, it's remarkable how resilient their school uniforms turned out to be, as Oliver's fireball only left the guy with a bloody mouth but no serious injury. The scene of the Garuda taking down all those students was oddly amusing, and one could argue they somewhat deserved it after how they had treated the Kobolds. However, it's regrettable that Andrews managed to escape any consequences for his actions. It also seems like the creators wanted to expedite his redemption arc and highlight Nanao's badassery with that impressive beheading. |

|
| So far I haven't seen anything that separates this show from others with the same settings. This is your usual magical school anime. Well, with one difference. Characters here suck. |

| Mixed feelings about this one… Sure it looks good and has an okay soundtrack but it just can’t keep me immersed. Drop angle for now, we’ll see |

Kuroimi said: Sure, but there are anime this season that easily obliterate this one in those categories. It's one thing to like it, and that is something I would not disparage anyone for, but calling it anime of the season especially when it's off to a slow and unimpressive start (which is reflected in its rating, now below 7 points) seems just silly at best, an insult to the actual contenders for that title at worst.positiv2 said: Because he did explain why he tought it was the "Anime of the season", about how much he liked the animation of this episode, how much he liked the characters, and the other mocked him for it without any argument?Man asked to explain his statement in an online forum, chickens out.

| I have committed war crimes in Yugoslavia |
| one of the best animes this season |
| I'd been a bit underwhelmed by this show so far, but that episode was pretty good as far as the genre goes. I kind of like that Andrews is suffocating under the weight of expectations placed on him, I prefer baddies who aren't unredeemable. Nanao was batshit mental once again, I like that too. |

Kuroimi said: Disagree. Man basically wrote "I like it therefor it is anime of the season" and then complained about the score of the show. And where is mockery? If something like "What do you see in this show that made you Say "Anime Of the season"? is consider mockery then... someone's ego is far too fragile. positiv2 said: Because he did explain why he tought it was the "Anime of the season", about how much he liked the animation of this episode, how much he liked the characters, and the other mocked him for it without any argument?Man asked to explain his statement in an online forum, chickens out.
