| Similar to some of the other episodes, this one carried a mysterious vibe but even more so with the lore. Episode still had some Elias and Chise moments although it's less compared to some of the other episodes. Feels like this episode had a motive behind it but at the same time still retains its usual themes. I still enjoy seeing how they protray the characters in this anime to give them a mysterious aura. |
 |
| Heey, so it wasn't anything super serious happening at the end of the last week, just Chise meeting the weird Rahab teacher lady who "raised" Elisa, on the beach casually moisturising her feet in the ocean ... Some more pondering about the past. But what i would like to know, is from which book exactly did Elias read that you get a bride from a slave market ... lol. |
 |
| Chise and Stella separated by the mysterious mage Rahab's fog, and she's someone that knows Elias and Lindel well, though Chise is a complete stranger to her. Chise being Elias's bride, and Rahab was certanly taken aback that Elias would have a human as his beloved. Nevertheless, the relationship between Rahab, Elias and Lindel back in the day was unlike anything that had yet seen before: the young Elias was a complete unknown stringing upon the lives of humans and learning of their livelihood through the mage, though she draws a line between human and beast in order not to create any fallacy, until the day he left. Though Rahab DID teach him the dynamics of a family, which is where Elias landed with Chise being a bride that isn't what is typically understood by the average human. That's why he entrusted her with the treasured pendant that Rahab gave to him, thereby effectively teaching her how to treasure a life that despite putting everyone in front of her, it's her own to protect as well. Oh well, all's well that currently progresses well, no matter if it's Chise being an imperfect bride or Elias still understanding human life well into his years, that either way, would've been fine and nothing to worry at all. With Rabab's final advice given to Chise, she and Ruth lands back at home, safe and sound. The intermediary centaur guiding Chise and Elias into a back passage that is pretty much just like that one Harry Potter movie, this is the road to the College, though it's ridden with hound dogs and their special seed that rids the scent of potential trespassers to a safe journey. Slowly, characters like Lucy and Cartaphilus, get involved in Chise's web of the series of unfortunate events. And school life in the College has only just begun. |
 |
| An interesting detail is how Rahab refers to Elias with あれ (are) - "that". Sounds a bit unsettling, but otherwise her scenes were quite wholesome. Everything is so mysterious and I love it. Got to wonder just how much time does one travel when going through that back passage |
 |
| The segment with Chise's meeting with Rahab was great, definitely was the major highlight of the episode for me and one of my favorite segments from this season so far. |
| Elias has some answers to explain to Chise, both Elias and Chise moments are cute. |
     |
| Interesting episode as always, more of Elias' background, we get to see Rahab, and we learn a bit more about the magic world such as the back passage. We also get to see Hazel again! |
 |
| This episode cleared up a lot of questions I had about this series. Particularly Elias backstory and motivations and the whole “bride” thing. Feel like I understand the series a lot more now lol. Rahab was great too, really interesting character. Also voiced by sailor moon. Shit’s definitely going to go down in that tunnel tho. A lot of flags raised with those hounds |

| Yes we knew Elias was on a whim when he picked Chise as his bride back in the auction, but who knew there was a reason behind that whim lol. Like I'm saying kids are strange, we saw a slight glimpse towards the end too. Though maybe it'll be better shown next episode, as it seemed like that will involves kind of group activities. Also folks, remember to use shortcuts seldom. |
 |
| Elias began exploring emotions firsthand and Chise started to genuinely love herself due to feeling at peace with him. The bond between these two is beautiful. Loved this backstory for shedding a new light on it. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Interesting to get more explanations for Elias' behavior and what he learned before (that he is applying now) with Rahab, she's the teacher that made him go this way with Chise then |
 |
| Elias just busting on in there all "MINE" in ep one of season one is like funny to me now because I'm imagining him sitting in the gallery taking one look at Chise and going "The stories did say my future wife should make me feel something different from everyone else and I'm having a moment, so I'm going to go for this 100% immediately" |
| It was great to learn more about Elias past, to see his mindset, trying to act more like an human… |

| Pretty solid episode. Lil more backstory for skullboy and a bit more focus on some of the students at the end. Sleeping in in exchange for using the dark pathway thingy? Yeah seems reasonable to me. |
| And here I thought some villain abducted Chise last episode but it was just her lowkey mother-in-law wanting to meet her lol 5/5 episode. I find Chise and Elias's relationship truly fascinating so I'm really glad we got an entire episode addressing that aspect. Not to mention it was great to see Rahab again. |
| I just love how rich and vast the fantastical elements are in this anime, it's so nice to watch. |
| I really enjoyed seeing more backstory of Elias and what he did before he first met Chise. It's thanks to Rahab and her teaching him many things needed to be ready to socialise with humans that influenced him to do what he did after he departed. It was a needed focus which makes his decisions for understandable. The fact that Chise is more comfortable and at ease with herself after meeting Elias is proof enough that he has helped her a lot. =) The "back passage" that Chise and Elias took to get to the college faster was very intriguing. The guard dogs looked disturbing and certainly would make for some tough enemies if someone who go against their warnings, but I'm glad that they were able to get through safely with the help from the centaur guiding them. The last minute of the episode was also interesting, with Cartaphilus acting a bit unusual and Lucy waking up from a nightmare. Hopefully either of them will get more focus in the next episode. |
| Chise is a mere uwu gal and yet people really going after her kek but damn I'd be willing to pop her cherry if she wants to feel like a real bride uwu |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| The whole situation with Rahab is so sweet, where all of Elias' quirks are actually inherited from her because he was just imitating her. And the idea of Chise being his "bride" being based on a misunderstanding because Elias doesn't know what words mean is just so funny to me. He can be so dumb sometimes I love him |
| "Do you believe in gravity?" |
| The whole damn school is extremely suspicious. I don’t trust nobody! |
 |
| Its so cool seeing these weird out of place magic locations, like the timeless house of Elias's teacher or that world of doorways that reminds me of the mirror world from One Piece but way scarier This anime just does magic and mysteries right, like Natsume Yuujinchou did. |
| Deep dark fantasies |
| Worse shortcut ever! |
| These episodes just get better and better, there is so much darkness and beauty to behold |
 |
| Freaking hell.. Almost no one is watching the sequel with this lack of interaction on the forum.. Anyways.. Pretty beautiful Episode.. We finally got to meet Rahba the black haired beauty.. and she is surprisingly.. not that interesting.. Maybe I had hoped for something more.. But then again.. This story is about the main girl not the beast.. so its given that they will not be focusing that much on the girl.. Its a good thing that Elias wanted a bride for simply companionship.. otherwise We could only imagine the heat he is packing in that suit.. |
| I’m so curious on what’s going on with some of the students at that school, especially the one with green hair since he is tripping hard due to Chise |
 |
| Elias has come to care for Chise a lot. Chise meeting Rahab was nice. We got to know more about Elias. |
 |
| Good ep, felt reminiscence of S1 with the main focus on Chise + Elias and some magic shenanigans happening. Really nice character backstory as well for Elias, as well as both characters voicing their thoughts on one another. I know a massive plot point of S1 was their relationship development, but man was it really well done and I wouldn't mind more of. Meeting Rahab is so huge thinking about it now. We literally meet Elia's mom and learn a good chunk about his time before he meets Chise, but after he meets Lindel. Also forget how inheritably creative and creepy some of the ideas for this show can get. Honestly I'm not really sold on the idea of taking an interdimensional portal through time and space that is occupied with unthinkable horrors that will gank me if I have a bad day and take one wrong turn, just to get to university faster. I think I could live with the 2-3 hr train ride. The concept on paper sounds cool, idk why i thought of backgrounds as well, and the hounds did make me flinch with their designs. |
 "yabe." |
| Now I understand why Elias constantly picks up Chise. He was mimicking a picture Rahab showed him when he was a kid. |

| They couldn't drop more flags during that tunnel travel... |
| And Rahab decides to introduce herself....just what is she... And everyone continues to plot and scheme at the college, sounds like Chise should get out of there ASAP. |
 |
| wonder what the nervous girl is up to. quite a bit of elias back story this ep |

| Magic School? Seems the students very traumatics!!!! kekeke |
| So we got some more backstory for Elias. Though afair we still don't really know what he actually is. |
