Satie and Lilith are already not fond of each other. Typical. Their rivalry doesn't seem serious so it's more for comical reasons. Jokes aside, the relationship between Satie and Demon Lord seems to be growing.

This episode felt slower and weaker than the previous imo. Just a bunch of slow relationship growth, if it can even be called that while showcasing more of our main cast. I hope the anime gets more serious cause the cartoony humor here is lackluster imo.

For a second last episode I did think this wouldn't be that generic, but the minute I saw knights and nobles get into the picture, it just went downhill from there.

Also seems like dude over here is gonna get discovered already.. ON THE SECOND EPISODE....

The arrival of the White Rose Knights Commander Alistair being summoned to defeat Ike's army, whilst Satie has her small inch of fun without Ike, who's scouting for their enemy, located within the Alliance of Kings group that has been reformed 3 times since defeating the Demon Lord's army, that's putting Rosearia's army on a pedestal if they don't reclaim victory for themselves. That said, Lilith sure is an elf demon made for the sole purpose of taking care of Ike, though she easily finds fault with Satie just for being jealous.

And despite Ike taking a direct hit to the heart, only to have Cefiro come and heal him, he needs to be more vigilant. Even though the piggy right-hand-man Jiron did help Ike separate both human and demon in their romantic advances, Ike only cares about wanting to see the White Rose Knights commander, who is relentlessly locked up in jail without trial. With Lilith doing all of the main work, Ike can focus on finding Alistair and figuring out what she's up to, along with the assassin that nearly killed him.

I don't know...this is just generic as heck, is there really a hook to this?

Can we rename it to "I was a great mage and a strategist but then I took an arrow to the back"?
Otherwise show is boring and stiff in every department.

Is it just me or is the pacing off? Also, Ike broke into the prison just to ask Alistar if she sent an assassin? Like, bro, there's tons of better methods to investigate who shot you while searching for evidence, and breaking into a prison and asking your "prime suspect" straight up is legit the dumbest move you can make. Even if she admits it, there's no evidence she's the real culprit besides her word.

I can’t believe Alistair caught on that he’s not a demon. I wonder if she’ll find out or if he’ll be able to lie convincingly enough?
It looks like he’s going to have a harem.
I don’t mind them much, but when there are harems I can appreciate it better when they’re introduced individually and more spread out than just having a ton of girls hang off of him when we barely know anything about him yet. Ah well, we’ll see how this goes.

Debo decir que a diferencia de el episodio anterior, este estuvo considerablemente mejor, se nos mostró un poco mas lo que es la personalidad de algunos personajes y demás, pero aun no me termina de convencer el protagonista, sigo pensando que a pesar de que ya están claros sus ideales, lo que piensa y siente todavía no se han mostrado y eso hace que el personaje en cuestión sea todo un misterio. En mi opinión anterior había olvidado comentar acerca del opening, y ahora lo hago. El opening me fascinó, eso es un punto positivo en el anime y que salva ciertos aspectos que no me gustan del todo.

Ike's kept his secret for 20 years but at least three characters have found out in the last two episodes. Come on.

I do like his dynamic with Satie and her rivalry with Lilith isn't novel or anything but it was still amusing. Pretty much every chick in this show is a knockout, so it's got that going for it at least.

That ambush was just lame and poorly executed. They started getting me excited by talking about a major human alliance and one of the nations going rogue, but that was severely underwhelming. And "hey no one died" come on. I get Ike's a granola kumbaya type and not just massacring towns, fine makes sense, but avoiding killing enemy soldiers?

I'm hoping Ike meeting the Alistair isn't just some pretext for the story to have her join his side.

Curious to see if we get much development of the town. Ike needs to double revenues, maybe that's an area the anime can end up being interesting.

Hm, so there was someone trying to assassinate him and he tried to get a confirmation if it's done by enemy or maybe an ally. I just want to know why it's easy for enemy leader to guess he's a human among all other species? Is it because his tactics in their skirmish or did she notice anything from his action that indicated he's a human.

I don't really know but it does seems like there was a significant cut content in this episode which is a shame because I kind of dig the world and I can see they tried something different enough in this anime. The fact that he also get assassinated easily also fascinating because it means he's really not that omnipotent which means the existence of army and tactics all the more important in this show.
I cannot bring myself to rate anime that I have completed below 5. Well, it just because I have use up my precious time to watch it. so, the worse you will get from me is 5 (changes may apply)

Yeah Ike going into the enemy's prison to ask their general if she knows who the assassin is wasn't well thought out and now she suspects he's human! Btw, it was weird how Lilith was introduced (or lack thereof) as for a minute I thought it was the demon king in disguise.

This episode was just abysmal.
>CG animation is amateur
The renders are...passable, but every it's like every soldier or demon got a whopping budget of one motion and three frames at a time. No followthrough on any strike, that'd be too hard.
>Random long pauses everywhere
'Sir we're ready to fire' *raises hand...5 seconds later...'Fire!'
9 total seconds of 'mrgrgrgr'ing between the maid and the succubus(?) girl
13 seconds straight of the scam artist oogling the maid
Walk into cell - 4 seconds of a picture of the cell, cut to a head shot for 4 more seconds - "Hmm..."
>Awful pacing
Literally half the episode is dedicated to figuring out that this town's army is impatient.
>Baffling lack of reaction to being shot
>Subcommander (pig man) having a Skyrim NPC reaction to his CO being shot (also doesn't fear getting shot himself, doesn't go after the assassin)
>Succubus girl
They literally forgot to introduce her by name. It's just casually dropped before they go into the tower.
>Baffling directorial decisions
'Yo did you send an assassin at me?'
INNER MONOLOGUE: 'Did she send an assassin at me? Or was it...[not her]'
She then proceeds to ignore the question and then somehow surmise he's human, and put a blade to his throat...except her arms sticking too far out, as if she's blocking his path. There's a sheen on the blade reflecting light implying it's the edge; but it's facing the wrong way, and there's an obvious cutout where the actual cutting edge is.
After a few close-up shots (they haven't moved) we get another shot of her holding a knife to him, and now looks more like she's holding it to his throat(ish), but now the blade is facing down.
Also when she ambushes him, she's hiding behind the open door. That side of the door has open bars on it, and she would've been clearly visible from outside the room.

I don't know I can't stop rewatching and finding more and more wrong. Was the knight lady's face reveal supposed to be a surprise? They intentionally hid it when she's talking to the lord in her first scene.

God, this is awful

The idea that no one is dying in these battles is idiotic. Even if we didn't see demons killing humans on screen (which we do), there is no way to win battles without doing deadly damage except maybe by overwhelming force and accepting significant casualties on your own troops. The idea is idiotic.

Ike is also terrible at his disguise, as many have noted.

Combined with the 2005 CGI and paper thin plot, this is definitely this seasons trash tier fantasy anime, though we'll have to wait to see if it's as bad as Dekisokonai to Yobareta or Saikyou Tank no Meikyuu Kouryaku

LOL, so MC had the airheaded maid as his personal maid now...

BTW, that "street gambler" lusting at the airheaded maid's (‿Y‿), LOL

Tho... for a girl her age, she really does have a fairy good body... I thought she was 16+ before...

So if you didn't know her age and go by her appearance, it wouldn't really be wrong to lust for that body.

(whereas you can see the actual kids in cages right after... the maid looks nothing like their age)

.

BTW... didn't MC said in last episode he always put up a barrier around his room? so no one can randomly barge in?

Yet... this new demon girl... literally just went right into the room... (but somehow she doesn't care if the maid's a human? I thought having human in Demon Army is a big NO-NO...)

And now we're gonna have these 2 trying to seduce the MC...

.

Also... how did MC get shot so easily by a arrow... for being the strongest... he seems pretty defenseless...

But he recovers fast since apparently the "commander" is also there... huh...

And the new Demon girl is just folliwing MC around now... (tho... what was she doing to the soldiers?)

And... now even the Human Commander is suspecting the MC's a human...

How did MC even hid he's a human? from how it looks... bunch of people knows he's a human and he reveals it pretty easily... LOL

(also... how are soldiers running up the stairs? where did the demon girl go? did she get defeated? HUH?)

.

Also, just realized... this series is being told from a "book"... who's the story teller reading the book? hmm...

@amlg He may be the strongest magician among the demon army, but as is the case with magicians, especially human ones, his defense is weak. Additionally, the MC did not expect an attack from the rear, since he had the enemy army in front of the walls.

The human commander suspects MC of being human, because the demon is brutal by nature and does not spare people

The tropes begin
- I despise Lilith’s character Archetype. I’m so very sick of it.
- I think it’s pretty obvious what happened with the whole arrow thing.
- Alistair seems like a cool character
- The book thing at the end of episodes is a bit jarring, I’m not sure why.
