Boushoku no Berserk Episode 6 Discussion

Not gonna lie, when I first saw the opening scene with all the flying gargoyles, for a second I thought I clicked on the wrong series and was watching Ragna Crimson.

The lack of logic in this series is baffling. The gargoyles are attacking the village, but somehow Set finds time to concoct an antidote? Is there some explanation why the gargoyles didn't burn his house down like they did the rest, or is it simply plot armor? Like I said, in the manga adaptation, the whole sleeping pill thing never happened, but I supposed the anime director looked at it and realized he needed to explain why Fate wasn't able to protect the whole village when he's so overpowered, and inevitably the improvisation still had holes. Such as Set's dad drugging Fate and doing absolutely f all after he's asleep. Also, what does he mean by sacrifice? He's gonna offer Fate to the gargoyles so that they wouldn't attack the village or something? Does he seriously think that will work? Of course not, because other than the throwaway line, he never actually drugged Fate in the original. At least he didn't die offscreen, and it was satisfying to see him get bitten in half. Heh.

Also, Greed: "They'll be troublesome if they attack from above!"
Fate promptly uses a scythe instead of shooting them down with a bow. Like, gosh, I know the author wants to show off what the new version can do, but...make it less silly and illogical, please.

Randolph also makes no sense. He kills some guy because he...didn't perform convincingly as a monster? What? Then some random Corpse guy comes in and slaughters the sand golems that even he can't beat, and he thinks he can saunter in and threaten this guy to become his subordinate when the whole reason why he wants to recruit the guy is because he's strong (stronger than even you, definitely stronger than your henchmen)? Look, I know he's an antagonist and the author wants to show how evil he is for the sake of it, but he doesn't come across as evil. He comes across as incompetent and comical, and it's a wonder the city hasn't collapsed under his reign.

Myne too. Takes Fate's three gold coins because she's the one who saved the carriage dude from the bandits, but when Fate kills the sand golems, he promises to give half of the reward to her? How is that fair?

Isn't Fate's intention to meet up with Roxy and watch over her or something? She's coming to this city, but before she arrives, he runs away because Myne sent Randolph flying? So what's gonna happen with that plan now?

That is what this show is about. It's plain dumb, even for braindead-shounen standards.

Last episode, I thought, going really dark might be a way to make this at least somewhat interesting. Now, I don't see any way for this mess to get taken seriously ever again. It's become soo bad. However, after the end of this episode, I see another way out. They should just stick to silly comedy and forget about the rest.

Myne is lookin' fyne

So her weapon is Sloth but her skill is Wrath? I wonder what wrath does to her.

For some reason I like this more than most of the seris that are currently airing. It's just shit and enjoyable at the same time. Fate's character and skills (+ Greed) are just way too good to miss. Animation is decent, but it does what it needs to. The fireball + 20% BP looked insanely dope. And it seems like we got another fun character added to the list aka Myne. Can't wait to see how he'll be helping Roxy in the future. For now, he must flee from the town because of what Myn did to that bastard lol. Yk what would be fun, if Greed interacted with Sloth.
