| Not gonna lie, a bit nervous to see how anime only folks took to seeing and hearing Nanao’s backstory and what’s been informing her actions these last two episodes. Again, I applaud JC Staff for not cutting away too much but a lot of what made the scenes depicting the last war she fought in was those long narration bits that described the atmosphere of the battle. Given how anime fans react to rushed backstories and having been that kind of fan myself I hope those not in the know aren’t ripping her backstory to shreds. Funnily, this and last episode are all still just chapter 2. It’s a long one and I’m glad they’re really taking their time with book one. |
| Ophella and Cyrus surrounding Oliver, Michela and Pete, the upperclassmen have them all surrounded, and what's Nanao doing with them? Nanao clearly understanding the feud between Scavenger Cyrus and Succubus Ophelia, and just when Oliver wants to reel into the fight, the Purgatory student body head of Alvin Godfrey and 5th Year head prefect Carlos Withrow stopped their battle, because they got lost too. Oliver isn't happy with what Nanao was doing, knowing that this would lead to self-suicide, though her reasoning is that she already faced a battle ahead of her, killing lives back in Azia against a rival clan, though is interrupted by some Western sorcerer who brought her to his land, at the behest of her own shiawase a.k.a happiness. The life that she ought to live by, it's through Oliver that she senses her real objective of trying to at least attempt to kill him, though it's about time to find a place to live, than one to die, which Kimberly has seen its fair shares of death. Everyone is here for her support, and Nanao's destiny is changed for the better, other than falling in love with Oliver's blade, and himself. Nanao is dense about things like love and romance, though this is for the best to move on from her traumatic episode. Finally, the spellblade concept is raised, and 6 are known of existence and always has been ever since, though these invincible sword arts are of immaculate secrecy. As expected, Richard still wants to duel against Oliver, though Nanao senses his intentions of not wanting to go full against him. Of course, Michela understands Richard because of the comparisons between them since young, and Katie is out again to save the exact same troll from being mercilessly killed by Darius Grenville. The investigation of that is not done yet, though is stopped by fellow demi-human lover of 4th Year Vera Miligan. Other than the concern of the conservatives vs. civil rights, Richard issuing a challenge to both Oliver and Nanao, the wannabe Draco Malfoy doesn't stop. |

| Good thing Professor Dumbledore and Mrs McGonicle saved the day when Snape was messing with Hermoine! |
 |
| It was good to learn a little more about Nanao's backstory. Even if it feels a little harem-ish with her and Katie's reactions with Oliver. Andrews really need to calm down... |
 |
Not digging Nanao's backstory but it was still hard to see her in so much distress over the situation. Probably my least favourite episode so far. |
| I still feel kinda on the fence about this show. First off, man I did not like the whole first half of this episode. I thought the flashback into Nanao's past was kinda cool, more so when that sorcerer showed up, and yeah I think things did get better from there on, but it was just so boring to me. I kinda forced myself to keep going at that point really. I can't help but feel like the pacing just feels kinda off too |
 |
| A flashback into the past, was honestly the better part of the episode. The action isn't bad but it looks generic overall. |
| Nanao is getting up close and personal with Oliver! Intimately so! And he doesn't mind it! And Katie's a little jealous! Meanwhile Guy and Pete are enjoying the heck out of it. |

| too many things happened in a short time . nanao's past story was not good. killing a warrior poet without knowing who he was. lol . katie's love for other animal is nice to watch. hope we will watch a great duel in next episode. |

| Andrews sure is full of himself. |

| This anime has a weird style. I'm not very fond of the way it tells its story. I actually like how the characters interact for the most part, but something about certain story points makes it feel like things are happening just for the sake of adding some type of dramatic tension. They've barely let anyone breathe in this regard either. It just feels like there's almost always some type of dramatic event about to unfold or already unfolding. Like everyone makes everything a big problem and it's a bit draining. Getting a book late at night? Here come some upperclassmen giving birth, threatening your life, and such. Someone's asking not to kill a troll? Let me cause her harm. Oliver and Nanao? Andrew says it's time to duel. I know they already pretty much said that being at the school is pretty much high stakes every day, but I swear it's like I hear dramatic, intense, impending doom/conflict-style or just straight up conflict/battle music so much in this anime-- you know the type. I am drained. I'll keep going, but it's just... a lot. I do find a nice comfort in whenever the squad is just hanging out talking about things normally, but those moments are few and far between. It's not even really that I feel there shouldn't be conflict, but it's just the specific way the writing decides to keep stacking their conflict almost one after another without much true rest in between that's kinda not really to my tastes. I understand that others like this style and that's fine. I just usually don't. |

Bro all these characters are so unlikeable. I doubt the author has ever been in a conversation with people, or even has any friends
| @Jeevzsk On Point Man ! |
Reply to UnknownGhost5
A few words from the people she just met was all it took to rid Nanao of her suicidal thoughts? What the fuck? Has the author of this ever met another human being? Anyways the conversation that the main cast has feel really forced most of the time.
That Andrews guy wants to be Draco Malfoy so bad...
That Andrews guy wants to be Draco Malfoy so bad...
| @UnknownGhost5 Facts Lmao ! |
| All 7 of them are not going to make it out of this show huh? I don't trust that Vera....I got a bad feeling about her. |
 |
| Darius appears to have a point, as of right now anyway. Unless this troll can somehow understand and communicate in human languages, then there's no meaningful information anyone is going to get by keeping it alive. And if this troll somehow acquired a high degree of proficiency in human language, then why didn't it try and discuss anything during the parade, rather than rampaging around? Animals were, quite hilariously, put on trial and executed for completely inane reasons throughout the medieval and early-modern periods of human history that the setting of this anime is based off of — yet a rampant troll that nearly killed a student, and did kill two dogs is given the "innocent before proven guilty" treatment? |
