Storytelling about Eagle today and well...prior to this episode, I wasn't even sure who that was. A somewhat interesting background storytelling I guess even if it wasn't all that pleasant.

Not sure how I feel about Luna but looks like she is eager to see Eagle too. Might be the most serious episode this season has seen yet, at least from her point of view. I didn't really care much about Organ meeting Hakuto.

Big F to Luna, that was very sad. I really hope the Light Kingdom will meet its downfall soon.

I tried, I really tried to ignore the redesigns, but what in the abyss?

Most of the characters—the ones with cool, unique designs in S1—are unrecognizable!

Arts, Sabo, Organ, Mink, Mikan, Shrimpfry, Luna…so, so many iconic characters are on screen for far too long before I figure out that I should know who they are.

I have officially dropped this trash heap and am so very disappointed because I love S1 and was extremely happy when I heard S2 was out, but I just can’t see S2 as anything but as an inferior copy.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Did they seriously give Allit a tsundere fang?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Much scary. So serious.

Lol this anime is a joke. What a tragedy of ruined source material. I hated Allit in the LN, Manga, and Season 1, but seriously? You make him look like a freaking joke. And the stupid little fang isn't even the whole joke. It's just a cherry on top of ruined characters, including the ones I already didn't like. He looked properly menacing in the first season, but now, he might as well have a big red nose and white make up.

This is awful.

And, as usual, for the rest of it, the pacing is atrocious. I don't know what they were trying to accomplish with the Eagle scenes other than trying to make faceless NPCs look evil or to be edgy when the rest of the anime looks like a children's joke of a cartoon, but the tone is way off and clashes with itself, and it's just hard to look at.

I keep hoping ONE of the episodes might be a gem in the rough, but... so far... ugh...

Eagle's story after being separated from Luna was one tragedy after another. Her poor wings...

That was really bizarre. Eagle literally on the guillotine before getting re-sentenced to exile.... because reasons.

There's a lot of stuff happening but the pacing is terrible and they're not justifying any of it.

I can't tell if it's a fluke or maybe they're actually improving the art. Obviously the characters are still dramatically inferior to S1, but at least there were no/less moments where the art was so incredibly ugly it ruined the episode. As a result, this episode was...less terrible than the rest of the season so far.

Regarding the plot, much around falconfolk, like the bunnies (beloved of the cherub, persecuted almost to extinction), I can't tell whether this show makes no sense or too much sense. "Our god loves these demihumans, so lets persecute and murder them" is both incredibly stupid and unfortunately exactly what I'd expect from a real religion.

People are still pretending Season 1 was some masterpiece I see, guess that’s never gonna stop huh lol. And this was one of the better episodes so far imo, I liked the stuff with Eagle at the start, she’s went through hell no doubt, everywhere she went caused ruin because of those Right knights, and she was eventually captured which leads us to today, where she’s now being crucified, okay holy shit lol, hopefully Luna and Marshall Arts (his name is still stilly af) will save her in time, I mean let’s be honest, it’s gonna happen lol.

It’s also nice to see Mink and Organ again, Organ had a very small part in the first season but I do remember she looked quite different, this new design is fine tho, I like red haired babes. Mink had a slightly bigger role before and her design was also wildly different than it is now, and it was a design I really liked but I do like her new design a lot too, I like that her chuunibyou thing is even more out of place now because she looks like a battle nun lol. And a lot of this episode was dedicated to showing what each faction is up to with the new developments of Luna and Kunai, including the Satanists which we haven’t seen in a while, a bit of a shame Utopia doesn’t have Dio’s VA anymore but I’m not surprised it changed, and also that white haired demon dude is back even though I’m pretty sure they killed him in Season 1, not sure how he can pose a threat when he got whooped once already but I’m not against him returning.

I feel so sorry for Eagle, all she wanted to do was exist.
She was chased all over the world due to politics.
I do hope that Luna is successful in rescuing her and also taking over the holy light kingdom.

I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together.

In this episode, an isekai about chain-smoking OP gamer switches into CGdGT.
Cute Girls doing Game of Thrones. Everybody and their dog are running north. Why? They're not sure. But if princess Luna and Demon Lord are going, it must be something important.
I'm eagerly awaiting the fireworks when they all collide.

mink chuunyness was gold.

the joke/cringe of comparing it with s1 on the replies is boring now.




@amf85 I think it's more the 'too much sense' criteria, it happens with almost all religions.

These last two episodes felt better. Possibly because I'm a sucker for rescue stories.

Wow, I can't believe Eagle's character design is better than Yuu.
She's not drawn fat, chubby, but only chibi.
ARE THEY PLAYING FAVOURITES ON THE CHARACTERS?
Some are made ugly, while some are animated decently. INSANE.
They literally downplayed the background story of Eagle. (even the invading soldiers were using shieldmasks...)



Luna's VA could've screamed better.

Anyway, Organ is finally here, but they ruined her aura.
Her partner, the Chuuni nun, is rather worse than S1.



One of the only saving grace of this series is the opening song, Thanks to ASCA's performance.

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.
