My issue with this series is Oliver. They make him out to be someone important yet the guy can’t do crap. I really hope he actually gets strong (at least stronger than Nanao) and not just someone who’s willing to sacrifice himself so that someone else can finish the job. |

QuietDirt said: Oliver seems weak compared to Nanao after this ep, and the animation was beautiful! Yea, that’s the main problem for me rn. Especially because it seems everyone has been hyping him as like the defacto leader of the group. If we don’t see him become more of a badass then this series will remain lacklustre |

Who was the one came up the plan deal with the troll and had skills to do so? Oliver. Who was only character to fight Nanao to stand still? Oliver. Who displaying vast amount useful knowledge none of the other characters save for Chela know? Oliver. Who was the first come to Katie's defense and help her recover emotionally from her accident in magical biology class? Oliver. Who fought with Nanao against Garuda and came up with the plan actually kill that thing which others followed cause nothing else was? Again Oliver? What show have you been watching when he's been useless? |

sayu-simp said: in objective terms the beast is def not strong, second / third years could easily take it, tise guys were most likely just some bad normie freshmenso from what we've seen: bullying is fine 3 bozos with no power can somehow beat a strong mythical beast which just slaughtered lots of mages you can be forgiven from being a dick as long as you show some bravery (by using one spell) animal/beast cruelty is not fine UNTIL you're in danger anyways can't wait for next week. With andrews it’s very different, for some reason they cut this out but before the fight michella tells oliver andrews is her relative, and he’s constantly put under crushing pressure to be the best, be better than chela etc. so the mental strain just twisted andrews a lot. I can see why an anime-only would take that interpretation tho not sure how they say bullying is fine, though in the world most people don’t like demi-humans so katie to them is very extreme and therefore disliked by many people. Obv that’s not everyone tho. Your last point doesn’t make sense, obv if your life’s in danger you’ll want to survive… though they cut down the monologue about katies ideals earlier, she didn’t kill anything so she didn’t betray herself Great ep. the fight in the ln was super wordy, long, prose filled so to see it adapted this excellently gives me assurance the future fights will be fkn epic cuz this isn’t even the top 5-10 im the series |

Basically just a rage quit rant, so don't waste your time replying. This anime has great animation during fights and during the opening song. The rest of it is absolute garbage. I have this on my MAL Fantasy Anime League team so I wanted to watch until it was over, but nah. Its so filled with shit I dont even care if I lose points. There is no main goal to the anime and all it contains is content in trying to make the main characters look good. The fact this anime has more points than Atelier, Dark Gathering, and Helck literally makes no sense and I no longer see a point to caring about doing well in league if it means keeping tabs on shows like this. |

Decent episode with the stunning fight against monster boss sequence, Nanao badasses, and all the drama around it especially with moe element Katie having a stupid beef with those bullies piece of shit. Anyway. Pace getting better here, i like the tense here more. But surely it's not that fast enough to attract more general audience to liking as to how this is so Harry Potter-ish or a general magic-fantasy theme shit can be so frustrating to seen in terms of entertainment or whatever the dissatisfaction comes from. Because the focus seems like to build up more of the basic ground first then entering the main dish already such as what Zom 100 did at their premiere. All in all, whatever, let's see next! |

it goes like this: resentment > grievance > indifference > tolerance > good heartedness > naivety > ok you can even fuck me in the ass and I'll forgive you > this show. it's so shameless, so embarrassing, so nonsensical. You get into a brawl when other kids are talking shit about your friend, but when some arrogant idiot who you know is about to set you up and ridicule you, runs and cries like a bitch when he fucks up, is responsible for the injuring or killing of several of the other idiots (they dissapeared from the scene btw), you get all buddy buddy with him, and give him unwarranted respect and credit. All you see on this thread is the same "wow duuude that fight was AWESOME, EPIC". Nah, it wasn't even that good. Same ass sound mixing as danmachi latest season, making everything quiet but then the fight sfx and screams super fucking loud. Trying to over dramatize when everyone knows exactly what is about to happen. Yeah, they work together and beat the beast, big wow, much surprise... |

That episode got me hooked. At first, it seemed somewhat generic and very Harry Potter. Some unique qualities though. This episode told me this is an anime about real consequences. The characters and story carry a lot more weight when a dangerous world is actually dangerous. I thought it was good action and a good story. I came here to see the rating on the series and was quite surprised by the 6.7 score. This is one I'm looking forward to this season. |

This was one of the better episodes (I noticed the music and animation were pretty good) so far but Oliver, while brave, seems to either be a bit weak or is holding back. My guess is that something will happen that causes him to learn one of the unknown spellblades as I recall there were 5 or so that were known. Meanwhile Nanao was fearless and strong although she isn't afraid to die anyways. |

Finally things get serious. Can't say I blame the Garuda, actually I kind of wish it killed more of those asshole students just to remind them that some of these magical beasts are powerful in their own right, and not to be used for entertainment, amusement or killed for magical spell components. I'm actually a bit sad that she killed it. |

Hmmm The story continues to be kinda edgy/chuunippoi and cheesy-cringey at most, but pretty much what I expect to see in a fantasy story from a light novel. To be honest, the fight scene was for me above average and one you would not see in such kind of run of the mill anime. Looks like JC Stuff ran the extra mile here. |

Part of the conservatist vs. civil rights faction BS going on right now, Katie is trying to make a change on this with Vera, and Oliver prepares for the duel against Richard with Nanao. The school bullies are growing on Guy's nerves, though there's no point of trying to get involved in their tomfoolery. And as much as Oliver and the others had it with their BS, Oliver did the deed first, supported by Guy and Nanao, though Michela least thought that Oliver would start the provocation first, with the trio being sent to detention. With the 6 of them being against the entire school, they have to make preparations of their own, they enter not into the labyrinth, but a colosseum hidden within it. Richard vs. Oliver and Nanao, his intention is to make it a fair fight, and making it an example with the kobold hunt exhibition battle. Of course, Nanao only sees this as more senseless fighting, and the students all looking for entertainment, there is the unknown factor...of the divine beast familiar Garuda. Instead of being the prey, the students are being the hunted, and Richard runs like a coward, giving Nanao the chance to fight a genuine battle while the others fend against monsters. Oliver joining the battle with Nanao, and even he is a step back when compared against Nanao, who faces fear and death like a true warrior. The fight scenes, J.C.Staff really knows their stuff to amp at the right moments, especially when both Oliver and Nanao face the Garuda together, with Richard's little assistance that makes the difference between life and death. The embarrassment of the Andrews' clan, he ought to learn a lesson from the both of them in their differing ways that lead to the same outcome. Other than the usual BS talk here, this show is surprising me lots and lots. Definitely keeping an eye on this now. |

It's not the AOTS, not even close, but it wasn't as bad as many people say. The battle scene was entertaining and decently animated. For the first time the characters showed some sign of depth (except for Katie, who still feels forced). Nanao is especially interesting. It still feels somewhat generic, and the moralistic "demi-human rights" stuff just doesn't flow well, but that hasn't negatively affected my enjoyment from this show --yet--. |

The fact this anime has more points than Atelier, Dark Gathering, and Helck literally makes no sense and I no longer see a point to caring about doing well in league if it means keeping tabs on shows like this. there is sane people, and then there is people who disagree with this. See how that works? No wonder why a lots people think MAL forums are cesspool no matter what show with posts like this. No no, liking this show and disagreeing with this are 2 different things. I like some trash, and if you point out the bad points of higurashi or SAO for that matter, I'll agree and then say, I still like how bad-good it is. It is feeling offended when someone points out objectively why something sucks that makes Forums become cesspools. And my comment is perfectly fine in response to what yous said, that only insane people disparage with the poster you quoted. ...I just said there's sane people and then there's people who dissagree. Why would you think that the latter are insane? I for sure didn't say that ๐ค you hear the term plot hole be thrown around a lot lately, by people who maybe don't know what it actually means. It refers to an inconsistency or a contradiction in the continuity of the plot. you know, like the protagonist flying into a rage at the sight of his helpless friend being verbally harassed by cocky, ignorant classmates one scene, to then treating the stereotypical noble idiot who looks down on everyone like a friend the next. The audio mixing? Right, I don't like blasting my ears with stock overused anime sounds and screams. I'm not even gonna go into how unnatural, dramatic and embarrasing the dialogue is, or how by the book tropey every single character is. You know what? You're right. It is pretty subjective after all. I don't like corny cliched unselfaware childish awkward stuff. Remove only one of those adjectives and maybe I'd like it. But this has all of them and some more. I guess enjoy "The Iceblade Sorcerer" with an increased budget. |

Impressive. Easily the best episode, pleasantly surprised with the animation in that battle. Didn't expect a student massacre either lol (that's if they didn't get healed, some of those wounds looked fatal). |

Embient said: I agree but to play devils advocate here: to forget would be considered a complete erasure of knowledge or memory while not remembering could be maybe a temporary thing. but yeah I think you're right and it was meant to a character punchline."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.

Impressive episode! I especially like how they animated the Garuda's onslaught as well as Oliver's & Nanao's battle against the Garuda. Love the different camera panning during the Colosseum battles. I was honestly expecting this anime would earn more appreciation around here but what I've been witnessing in this thread are plenty of haters trash-talking. I've only read volume 1 of the LN but happy to see how things are progressing. Pacing looks fine. I'm liking this anime more and more, but I'll never figure out the mindset of the people who just talk BS about this anime adaptation. |

Iron_Maw said: I don't really care if you praise it or criticise it, but it's by no means the best anime this season, or the worst one for that matter.

Are guys for real? Its their opinion and no more valid than you being sourpusses on it. For the record its one my favorites from this season. Your also watching shows that things have been done before too so get off your high horse. Nobody who remotely serious about enjoying or criticizes media cares. Its about execution not your mythic ideal show that caters sole to you. MAL isn't hivemind so grow up. > Your also watching shows that things have been done before too so get off your high horse Sure, I do watch a couple trasekai anime that are carbon copies of one another with a tiny twist each season, but me watching something does not mean that I like it. And just because I like something does not mean that it is necessarily good. And obviously even if something is good, that does not mean it is the best. But I am fine with that. Guess my horse just got higher, eh :P (Also you're*) > Nobody who remotely serious about enjoying or criticizes media cares. Could you please say that again, but this time in English? > Its about execution not your mythic ideal show that caters sole to you But the execution is just bad, that's the issue. This show suffers heavily from LN syndrome. The pacing is awfully slow, the exposition is lengthy, and a lot of what has been happening just does not translate well into a visual representation. Light Novel adaptations take effort to get right (see Tensura for example), but J. C. Staff is unfortunately not the right studio for that. Besides, I can acknowledge when an anime I do not personally like might be the anime of the season, it's just not this one. > MAL isn't hivemind so grow up What does that have to do with anything lmao |

Why is it that most characters, even supporting ones get to have character development? This series is seriously sick and awesome. (I really hope most anime are like this, without skipping any scenes from the LN, not that I know the source) I even got to see the massacre of the ignorant bystanders scolded by Nanao earlier. This is getting more interesting. |

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. |

So is this why 7 instead of just 6? Is Andrews the 7th? I mean every story needs some characters like that right, a complete a$$hole who turn themselves around and suddenly became everyone's best dude/girl by the mid of the series. Is Andrew's going to be having such dev in the future? |

IhnalakoKaina said: The protagonist actions makes sense though. Andrew's behaviour was different from how the rest of the students in the class acted. They were downright abusing and threatening Katie and her whole existence. If you were a friend to someone who was receiving such abuse, wouldn't you come to defend them. Comparatively Andrew had that smug elitist attitude in this episode but he didn't really abuse anyone. Not to mention Oliver managed to see eye-to-eye with him once he realised that Andrew was actually a coward and his big shot attitude was a front.Iron_Maw said: IhnalakoKaina said: Iron_Maw said: IhnalakoKaina said: Alright I just call you insane for liking Higurashi then.Triggerfish124 said: Basically just a rage quit rant, so don't waste your time replying.

Almost all movies/shows use them to a varying degree and they do for a reason because without them, its not always an entertaining watch. You will just end up with stuff like the The Last Jedi or Game of Thrones final seasons which were a mess. If they simply used the typical tropes, they would be received much better. > I guess enjoy "The Iceblade Sorcerer" with an increased budget. Not OP, but yep I will!.

JC staff continued where they left off with DanMachi with a bunch of bozos getting absolutely wrecked by a raid-class monster. Happy to see Oliver not blending into the background this episode. |
