| It looks like this show is slowly yet surely introducing more characters to the story. Momo appears to be a deadly executioner despite her appearance. Not as much as action compared to the first episode but it still had a slight eerie vibe. Menou also proves herself to be a intelligent person when she realizes what she must do in certain situation. Akari should learn more from her. Ashuna has a very intimidating presence imo. |
 |
| So Menou's assassination attempt of the Noblesse summoned Lost One Akari Tokitou...as much as she tries to persuade Akari into her bidding to eliminate her, her Pure Concept power of Time reverses that action, and instead brings her along for the ride to escape as far as possible. Menou has no choice but to being Akari to then straight to Archbishop Orwell in Garm, more than explanations alone to prepare a ceremonial hall for the Otherworlders' execution in 3 days. Of course, the truth must be hidden from Akari, while Momo does her watchdog duty, wheeling her desperation to eliminate Akari and be overly attached with Menou. Sure, Momo might not like what Menou's doing, but it'd be best to have a backup just in case. And so it is that Menou brings the Boobalicious Akari along for the ride to Garm, but as soon as the Noblesse turns up, it's trouble, and to make that double, Akari's magecraft can attract unwanted attention. Putting that into perspective, Princess Ashuna's presence is daunting for the Noblesse, and she's going the same way as both Akari and Menou are. What will happen onboard this train to Garm, it's an invitation to death, slowly creeping. |

| Another great episode. Even better than the first one. Momo is such a sweetheart. <3 |

| Miss manipulator at it again, either she has some 1000 level intelligence or these "otherworlders" suffering from a rare negative stat. Going with the later one btw. |
 |
| That episode flew by just as fast as the first. Menou is an interestingly complex character. She's a pathological liar, but she clearly feels justified in doing so. I guess the Faust have ruled out the possibility of the Lost Ones learning to actually control their powers and use them in a positive way. Hopefully we'll get some more exploration of that. Maybe one of the "4 great catastrophies" was caused by that kind of initiative going off the rails. Momo's amusing commentary on events redeems her character somewhat from the first episode. The ED is beautiful also. Something about this show (and I can't quite put my finger on it) reminds me of anime that were being produced 10 or so years ago. Like an early isekai, before they got so formulaic maybe? |

KANLen09 said: The Executioner Ashuna makes her entrance, and she will be one hell of an influence given her stature. She isn't an Executioner. |
| There's got to be such a large mental toll on the Executioners if all of them act in the same way as Menou, wonder if that's what Momo is worried about. |
 |
| Still not convinced on why these Lost Ones are dangerous tbh, but I understand why Menou wants kill them. Also Akari does have a broken power even Menou can't kill her. It does make me wonder how will this go from her and will Akari change Menou's perspective. Overall a slighty better episode. |
| Is Momo gonna be the classic childhood friend never win trope? Damn, if only she isn't that obsessed then I'll probably root for her. Akari is too generic so far afterall. |
| Well, I thought Momo would have been a great character in this anime but guess not, instantly became so annoying that I had a feeling to cut her throat. Akari is pretty adorable, she's the maincharacter so I don't think she'll be killed even if they arrive at their location. |

| The music this week was a lot less obnoxious and weird. It was even fitting in places. There were also zero further incidents of groping. It didn't leap around in time and space to go to strange lunatics making silly faces, so it was theoretically a more cohesive package. But that's it. That's all the good of this episode, which was mostly failing to do the horrible things the first episode did. Unfortunately, it didn't replace them with literally anything at all. The already moderate budget crashed to rock bottom, resulting in an entire episode of talking heads, and with it, any thoughts of pacing went in the crapper. The really inexplicable thing to me is how easily she gives up trying to kill this girl. She revives from being stabbed once… extremely slowly, and without any idea of what happened, and they're just like "Well, crap. Never seen any kind of regeneration ability before, and the clock sound must be rewinding time, this is hopeless." Have you tried dropping a rock on her? Or tying her to one and throwing it in the ocean? How about a slow acting poison? Spiking the brain? You're really half-assing this assassin thing. "Well, I tried stabbing her once, and it didn't work. I'm all out of ideas." Now let me bring this supposedly dangerous world-threatening person to the middle of the city and wander off while she can play with children. Yeah, uh, okay, writers. |
A strong second episode, I'm intrigued about this world, especially what the Faust actually are. Is the name supposed to evoke anything? (Because I don't think I trust them) |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| nice, really enjoying this now. Hmm, Momo getting jealous of Akari. Yeah, her breasts are bigger than yours. hehe looking forward to next week! :) |
| Really a great 2nd episode! Something I love is how they do the "Show, do not tell" thing at the train station, by having Menou using magic to distract people and then explaining to the child and to Akari (and thus, to us viewers) how magic works in this world and it got embedded well within the story, considering the princess made her entrance at the train station as well. That scene also set up a lot of interesting conflicts that may occur during the train ride, I suspect. Cannot wait for the next episode! |
 |
| I really tried to like the show, but i guess this is it for me. Didn't quite catch my itnerest and I am watching a ton of seasonals too. |

| A fine episode. They are putting some effort into their worldbuilding at least.

From what I could get, using the power erodes their brain and makes them more dangerous. ProSlayerXD said: Give recommedations of revenge isekais please Shield Hero. S2's currently airing. |

| I'm starting to like Menou more and more each week. I feel like it's obvious she will eventually go against "the Church" and help Akari stay alive but hell I could be wrong. Actually I hope I am wrong because I feel like that would be too cliche. Introduction of another hot ass waifu as well. |

| Time weaver, is that you? Looks like Menou need some dark magecraft to works things out, here come Archbishop solution with her 'ceremonial hall'. Old woman also explained some interesting name of 'human error', and said that Akari can lead into the same catasthrope. But who knows, if Akari time actually lead them into another shape beside a chaos those old woman describe at the future... After then, its time to set up some journey cause Akari can not be kill by a conventional way. Pink girl jealous because her woman slowly attracted to Akari big booba. While in the other side, Menou feels like that was going to be an easy trip to succeeded her mission. But its actually way more complex than that because its certainly related to 'some feeling'. Curious to see how that princess worked out among the main pair alone journey. Expect some fight later on, so let just see next.... |

| I enjoyed this episode, it reminded me of CGDCT-themed anime in general. Maybe Akari knew something, but she tried to enjoy it first. Since known that connected with the Menou monologue in episode 1. |

| another boring eps worst anime this season |
| The ED visuals are really cool. |
| Still not sure on this series, but it's very watchable. You already know Menou won't be able to kill Akari anymore after their little road trip together. |
| Great episode! Liking the worldbuilding too, I think it's pretty good so far. OP and ED are bangers too. Akari is a ray of sunshine, she's adorable. Liking her chemistry with Menou too, even though the latter stabbed the former in the back of the neck just a few minutes earlier lmao. Akari having the pure concept of time is interesting though, maybe that has something to do with their visions maybe or it could be something else entirely, I don't know. All I know is, I am looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| Compared to Aharen-san, this show is much more interesting for me that's for sure. Akari is secretly an OP girl, and it boggles me how she did not notice that it's obviously Menou who tripped and tried to kill her....but is she keeping a front? Despite Akari's appearance, I think that she is also playing on Menou's game and is just waiting to strike if possible. I say this but right now, she's just a likeable girl that got isekai'd and she seems so kind to someone around her. I'm still betting that Akari will corner Menou later down the line, but right now the intimidating character is Princess Ashuna. Definitely the episode that sets the framework for the whole cour, it's all a slow burn from this point on, as we head off to Garm! |
 |
| Oh for special mention, that ED is brilliant! ChouCho is back for another one, and just like the last one, this one is another great one and will surely be one that will be playing on my head for one month, did I say too much one on this one sentence? I think I did, but aside from that one bit, the visuals are so different. Though the song itself will need some time to grow on me, I can say that this ED will be one of my favorites for this year. |
|
| that short scene in the church of Akari having glassy eyes and staring into nothing...I hope it's an indicator of what I'm thinking will be revealed later on. Would make things a lot more interesting, even if it won't be super original. But yeah, pretty enjoyable episode. Things might have been a lot slower than the first one but I'm expecting things to turn dangerous on the train ride. |
| hmmm i'd say, pretty predictable, there's no way she's gonna kill her unless she really gets close to her (like y'know bonds/friendship lolz) 4/5. |
 |
| Oh I see it now. This had Talentless Nana vibes since episode 1. MC is basically Nana and she will slowly start getting attached to the Isekai-girl and will likely even betray her mission. Damn, we have to deal with "time" again. I've seen someone having a pretty good theory. Isekai-girl and MC were good friends once already, but MC died (just like in OP) and the Isekai-girl then reset world-time. That would explain why now none of them remember the past, yet share the same dream. |
| I'm into this. Momo's behavior last episode and the fact that Akari is clearly in for the long haul had me worried, but time is an interesting power and excuse. Breakfast scene is stroooongly hinting that this isn't the first iteration of their journey. We could be in for loops. Probably some interaction with Menou's origin story too, though that'll be harder to do interestingly. |
