Idk how to feel about some of the characters in this show. Outside of Ex and Reina so far, the others feel like less important. Seems trouble came from the skies this time around.

The fantasy elements is there for sure but it didn't feel impactful, at least for me. I'm still curious where this show goes though considering the importance of resolving some of the conflicts.

Well I mean... what can I say? The 1st episode was somewhat okay so I watched this but I'm just not entertained.

MAL score went down a lot since episode 1 too, but I'll give this one more chance next week.

The character's battle moves seem really random too... red hood using fire magic? wut..

It's a drop for me now.

This was painfully boring and mediocre. There is absolutely no heart in this show whatsoever and there isn't a single reason why I like this show enough to continue.

What a shame.

This was a really good and enjoyable episode.

I liked the story of Don Quixote, his passion and determination to never give up in what he believes in was rather inspiring.

He also kept his promise, he never forgot once the world was back to normal.

I love the scene where Ex turned into Little Red Riding Hood and absolute burned the windmill to cinders, he showed great power there.

Ah so that guy is Loki, definitely will be seeing more of him in the future episode no doubt about that, he looks like a lot of trouble.

I went to the wikipedia afterwards for more details of his story and it was quite good.

Looking forward to watching more.

Sigh...

This anime's concept is indeed interesting but it's biggest downfall is that it lacks any sort of impact or meaning and you're virtually given no reason to care, both with it's story and with the characters. This was the one anime I really looked forward to since I thought it would fill in the void I had after Merc Storia ended last season. But so far this anime has been really disappointing. At this point I seriously doubt episode 3 is going to be any better.
"You talk too much. Think too much."
"I don't care how justified you think your reasons are. I won't tolerate liars or thieves."
"If you're not going to be nice to me, don't expect me to be nice to you."
"I'm a soldier, not a superhero. Don't ever think of me as one."
"The world doesn't revolve around you. Get that through your thick skull."
"People who live by their emotions go nowhere in their lives. They only find misery.
"If you don't like the way your life is than do something about it instead of sitting there feeling sorry for yourself."
"You want something go get it. Period."

The message of the show feels like, "stick to the script, kid. We're here to make sure you do."

Not really a positive one, if you ask me.

lol. Exactly my thought. Looks like red = fire is stuck in their mind or they're mistaking her with little match girl. Summoning a wolf or something suits her better but what can we expect from an anime where Alice in Wonderland is a genderbent guy who wields a rapier. What's next? Snow White with an apple bazooka?

I love this anime even if the production is all over the place, the pacing doesn't work, the scenes don't have much impact. So, i really don't understand why I like this so much

thanks man, leaving me with hope that there arent just complainers haters that watch this anime.
I'm glad someone enjoy it like me.

This anime isn't even bad, sure whatever, it could've been better if they adapted it faithfully with game story, but whatever, i didn't play the game so i'm not thinking about it :P

I enjoyed this episode particularly Don't Quixote's character, he is just so funny and his story had meaning. When he compared Ex to that Sancho guy made me laugh so hard, I guess maybe they're similar on their timid nature.

I wonder who is this Loki guy Ex met and it seems to anger the Blondie?

So the story in which our adventurers enter is "Don Quixote de la Mancha" ... Wow that is an excellent reference, I was delighted they use this story and present us with a recognized character in literature.
Ex became Sancho Panza and that caused me a lot of laughter, his good action turned into something very funny.
The design of Dulcinea is very beautiful, I love how she explain the story of Don Quixote, short but precise and that is very nice.
Reina and Shane are so adorable, Shane spying from the barrel was very funny and Reina when she was questioning the kids her stomach growled because she was hungry, her face is so adorable. At the end Don Quixote is recognized as a hero, but it is also discovered that Dulcinea is an invention of Don Quixote's imagination and that she appeared when he attacked the mill.
The monster mill I llked a lot, a good reference to the delusions of Don Quixote and the fight against the monster was not bad. So the boys can use more than one story character, Ex manages to defeat the monster with the powers of Little Red Riding Hood. It was sad the farewell of Dulcinea and Don Quixote, but at least his story was restored to normal.
Today appeared the main villain, Loki and it seems that Reina and Ex have a complicated past with this guy.

Hmm so much for Don Quixote's dramatic entrance. But to think that he was essentially an old man who after reading too much books believed himself a knight. Still looks like the town's really on edge due to the rumours though. The revelation about the holy maiden sure was interesting. To think that the Don's imagination was strong enough to create a character. Quite the dilemma that Reina and Ex have there though. So Ex also gained the power of red riding hood after saving her huh. Glad that things ended well for this zone. Decent ep that featured some decent characters and fights. Though i wished that they actually showed the defence of the town though. Still at least we saw our first story villain.

Had a hard time paying attention, if this doesn't improve then I'm better of dropping this series.
