Look at all those cat ears lmao. We got some action and fighting against the shadows roaming around. Those things gave me some Kingdom Hearts vibe.

It seems the episode took on a slightly serious mood compared to the first three episodes. Awesome to see Karyl and her allies take on that oversized golem in a JRPG-ish style fight. Karyl herself kicked some ass too!

Wolfen Bite!!!! Ikusaaaaa!!! Ryukyu-Ken-Knuckle!!!!
Wasn't that Jabberwock too weak? The Jabberwock I knew isn't that weak. lol...
It was surprising to see Kiiri appears in this episode as well.

This episode was intense. Yeah! the dramatic story continues with a cliffhanger ending. Can't wait to see the next episode. I hope we will see the battle from Yuuki's dream at the end of this season. It will be an epic finale battle for sure.

Showing off the spoilers for the Seven Crowns SO EARLY? That is Yuuki's dream, but it does paint an ominous future for the sequel season going forward.

Welp, Yuuki just got handled like a baseball in the most hilarious manner by the monsters. Karyl's wimpering, Koro-ster's meeping, and look who's here to save the day: the beastfolk guild Caon of members Makoto, Maho, Kaori and the detective Kasumi.

Kasumi capturing Shadows like it's another day of work, but in this case, her Shadow mimic Kiiri shows up to the intrigue of all. Her formation from Yuuki's powers raise a flag about her story, but it's the appearance of Metamorregnant
that brings about the big question mark of resurfacing Yuuki's memories, and its appearance like a dream butterfly (which more often than not is an ominous sign).

Epic fight as always between the Golem that houses Metamorregnant's soul from within cast by the Shadows, and Pecorine having to execute THAT much of her Princess Strike Union Burst powers, only to get blisteringly teleported by Kaiser Insight with the ring given to Karyl, what a nasty cliffhanger.

Now I'm ready to start theory-crafting for whatever lies ahead, every frame is a clue in and of itself.

Holy crap, the animation! Especially at the start there, I was wondering how things got so good but then it came back in the end there. This show is seriously too well animated for a chill SOL show.

Damn, that cliffhanger though. Did she get teleported or what?

@Potatoboy11 That might just be a fair point.

Priconne animation is criminally underrated holy shit man. Forget JJK, midmetsu etc, this needs to be in the discussion for best animation. The amount of sakuga in this show is wild. Obviously this was the FGO CM director who helped on this ep but even the normal episodes have consistently great animation.

Great episode! Labyrista the amazing prifes character who is super OP on release and for a while after that appeared in Yuuki's dream. We also get to see the amazing MAKOTO WITH HER VERY NICE PHYSICAL DEF DOWN ON UB AND S2. Maho was there as well who has kind of fallen off in global but with her 6 star gets absolutely amazing!
Was nice to see Kaori also with her still being amazing in global and about to get her UE decently soon. She falls off after that but with her 6 star in JP regains her spot as amazing top tier DPS.
One thing I will say about when Kasumi and Yuuki etc were fighting the shadows, they should have used Makoto's def break on skill 2 and UB first then hit them to make it easier for them.
They also found a Kasumi lookalike who was a shadow.
AND NENEKA!!!!!!!!! NENEKA IS AMAZING WHEN SHE COMES OUT AND IS VERY USEFUL FOR A LONG TIME! In this particular scene, she used her UB to create a body double of herself to ask for help from Yuuki and his friends. Against that golem monster, again pecorine messed up as she should have waited for Makoto's physical def down then used her princess strike UB to max out damage.

Looking forward to the next episode!

Damn what an insane episode the key animators this episode were stacked and the cuts were godly but shoutout to the BG animators as well and the details to the character animation was done great.

I feel bad for karyl and people missing out on this gem and I can't contain my excitement for the next episode.

Hope I can make it through next episode of my favorite cat's self guilt.

the battle from yuki's dream looked so epic and that back to back princess strike was crazy and the sakuga this episode was crazier

just when she was about to destroy the golem Kyaru's ring teleported pecorine to the castle that cliffhanger tho

Next episode can't come sooner

So many cute girls/CV in an episode! Roar!

Well, it was weird for Karyl to get a ring from her highness but to think it was a trap or a plot to teleport her, or was it something else?

This episode was greatly animated. Even at the end of the last 2 mins of battling it out with the golem was really entertaining to watch.

I really can't wait for the next episode!
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Okay can we all dislike Karyl now please? She's been a RAT this entire series and now here is the icing on the cake. Yeah we know she didn't know the Ring would transport Pecorine but she's been loyal to the Queen this whole time and just "pretending" to be friends with the rest.
Nah dude she's trash.

Season 2 has been unbelievable so far and this episode was just...so freaking good.

I think you people mistake a good script with good animation.
The animation was mediocre in most parts and even below in some.
Fight scenes were well scripted but not animated.

This episode was incredibly, right from the get go we get some insane animation... only for a dream sequence, however I say dream sequence, it felt more like a vision.

New cast is fun and quirky. Love them. A party full with beastpeople. It was a little weird seeing more than 1 Kasumi and honestly I wonder what's up with that, but then the attention went to a massive golem.

This episode is just on crack really, when you thought that the Vision was good, the battle with the golem was incredible. Gacha money well spend I am guessing? Hehe

So that was a pretty clever trick, give Karyl a ring that teleports Pecorine to the castle... What a cliffhanger!

First off, full credit to the animators for this episode. They absolutely popped off this episode, particularly in the big fight against the golem at the end.

That aside, oh boy am I happy to finally see Caon in the anime, even if we didn't get to hear Maho say "ojii-han" just yet. Also, it was all too obvious that the ring Karyl was given wasn't gonna be anything good, but for it to be set up to teleport Pecorine directly to Kaiser Insight can only be seriously bad news on all fronts.

I guess I'm in the minority but I thought the animation was pretty bad this episode. Some parts looked jerky like they were going 15 fps and it was making me dizzy to watch. Surprised to see it being praised. Overall watching this episode felt like I had a stroke midway through. I couldn't follow it at all. It was going in 5 different directions with the dream at the start, the new beast people, the ring, the golem and the pink butterfly girl, and then the clone. Maybe because I never played the game but I have no idea what is going on anymore.

Okay first of all, I didn't expect the animation to be this good, I mean the animation of Priconne anime is always been good but holy sh*t this is next level.

Second the cliffhanger gave me chills, Pecorine looking like that gave me chills because of how cheerful she is.

Dang I hope it gets better since there is plot progression.

Many animators from this staff will likely be in Chainsaw Man. The director of this ep was Takahito Sakazume, who animated in the CSM pv and has a good relationship with Yoshihara and Nakayama, who animated here.

This episode was better than the normal standards with the animators they had on board for this but at the same time, idk the episode itself didn't hit that much. It didn't look as crazy great to me overall but it was a lot better than what is normally provided though with this series, especially with this being a gacha based one. For once that's a positive with PriConne I guess, but not enough to have me craving for the next episode or any belief that this series is gonna be good from now.

I'm with you. I don't care what Karyl has been through. She knows about the shadows which kill people. She fucks over her teammates. She is pretty much irredeemable at this point.

Dude, the animation and character movements in this episode omfg.
Also no wonder why the animation reminded me so much of the FGO CMs. Same director if I'm not mistaken.

Intense episode overall. The confrontation against the golem was fantastic and seeing Pecorine spamming Princess Strike after Princess Strike sure hyped me up. Such a shame she got teleported mid-attack tho. That sure was a dirty cliffhanger, huh?
