Some of the nobles in this series are so scummy..

It's really too bad Melida's mana problem is the center of all this. Seems this episode is more of a buildup for the rest of the series. At least Melida is using what she's learned from Vampir in her fights now. Even her moves are mirroring his.

Why does everyone want to make Melida's life hard? What did she ever do to them? :(

OST and small fight sequence at the end against those skeletons were nice.
Melida's outfit was very cute.

Also, if there are any source readers, how does the anime compare to LN?

Its nice to see Melida showing signs off growth in her abilities, but now her father wants her to withdraw from the academy.

Some of these nobles are plotting against Melida. This show isn't giving her a break.

And now her father wants to remove her from the academy.

The guy who claimed to be Melida's father caused quite a stir, with that blond hair he kinda makes me suspicious. Or it could be some ploy to shake up Felgus.

I was eager for the "punishment or reward" wager between Kufa and Melida. Hopefully it's still in effect when they get out of Vibria goat.

Oh oh... there are quite some animation issues in this episode.
It seems we caught up with the animation team animating their segments in the final hours, oh well...!

And there we have Dad! And there we have her Da- waaaaait!
Let's see how they will handle Vibria Goat.

Well at least Melida is actually growing and doesn't completely resort to others

But oh boy, was I worried were going to get another 2 eps of pointless girl drama during that elevator ride

Calling it right now Melida is gonna make it through that examination using whatever bs method and it's gonna impress the dad so much he'll let her stay at the school

Great ep, really hate how much people try to shit on this show. I love the dark tones and vibes it gives off, there's always very muted colours and the scenes are almost always inside dark areas. My one issue is, it seems like a monster of the week type set up in which everyone is just out to get merida to prove she's a failure, but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of genuine plot progression or character development. Either way, I love the series.

I'm interested in seeing what the maid chicks are up to and why pink haired dude wants to expose Merida? Maybe so he can take her father's place in the hierarchy?

Even after the whole ordeal of Rosetti, Melida Angel isn't allowed rest time, as the examination proves that this is just another plot for the nobles to dismiss her as the incompetent one, and instead bring her cousin Elise into the spotlight as the true heir.

To make matters worse, outsiders are even fledgling with the amount of issues she has, adding to the burdens. (Erm, Melida's "dad"?)

Instead, Kufa has no choice but for her to stand strong and progress without him despite the amount of backlash that she is getting now from both family and others. And the TRUE father of a Duke is aiming to finish her quick by resigning her from school? That's uncalled for to hasten things.

Down at the labyrinth exam, it's clear that she's starting to get hold of being competitive through Kufa's training with her, and it shows. But more people showed up to slow her progress...

What truly is people defining expectations for Melida?

Red flag for Melida's dad. No way she will be separated from Kufa, nor he will be able to change his mind, nor Melida seems strong enough to impress him herself (I mean, she got saved by the "bad guys" that oneshot what she had to 1v1 in minutes, lol) so something will happen.

Oh, a good looking new antagonist. What next, arranged marriage drama?
I never had high expectations for this anime, but this (last?) arc sure doesn't look very promising.

Didn't they say something about finding a book - will Melida find a "Special book" that either unlocks her powers or upsets the status-quo?

Now the Nobles in the city are after melida, lol, poor girl. She isn't getting a break anytime soon huh. Those two arrived at the end, I wonder how things will turn out.

This episode was good; it seems like a staging ground to set up the final few episodes. I really want to see Kufa go berserk to protect Melida, though

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?

Kind of obvious who the masked guy is seeing the guy next to Felgus having the same hairstyle

Melida has grown stronger quite a lot compared to the start of this series, but she still has some rooms to grow.....(no not her breasts you perverts)...

And a new competition began like they can't take a break for once disregarding the Pajama Party episode that was fun

Who's this bozo now claiming he's the rightful father of Melida like yeah I'll walk up to Melida and I can tell everyone she's my girlfriend the only problem with that is I'll get slashed by Kufa with that word alone

Glad to see her applying Kufa's lessons in battle, So that dude's up to no good again, I swear every episode it's becoming bland like my post in this discussion.

It could had been good, but feels unispired, boring and predictable. The ghosts are laughable too!
