Orwell is gone but it looks like Menou's personal journey is far from over. She and Akari still maintains a close relationship this episode.

Pretty chill episode after the huge battle from the previous week. Now we got a chill episode of character bonding with baths and adventure. Cute.

Just like I feared on ep 1, that resolve on killing otherworlders with powers was nothing but a sham... Not sure why Menou's so focused on killing Akari instead of finding a way to send her back to her world.

We finally got the bath scene.

Really nice and relaxing episode after all the action. Akari was especially cute this time. ^^ She had so much fun with Menou.

Momo is such a sweetheart. <3

Also, her akanbe trope was a big lol moment.

That iron maiden scene at the end was so creepy. o_o Poor little girl.

This is where I think drop this show. I'm not sure I have it in me to suffer through another month and a half of this banality and that mentally retarded girl with her girlfriend. At least with Mahoutsukai Reimeiki, I give it a 50/50 shot of reminding me of some other random trashy show from the past that I should really take another glance through again to remind myself that, yes, indeed, the drek of 2010 was better than all these cheat power fantasy RPGs. Granted, this is very far from the worst offender in that vein, but an episode where they meander aimlessly, take a bath, and then cheat power out of being off-screen leviathan'd by a formless waterfall blob… that's not exactly a step in the positive direction.

Jesus! as much focus was given to the existence of a hair dryer as there was to the supposed new 'plot', of the new crazy girl going to a meeting and then stuffing a girl in an iron maiden. Why are we so focused on the hair dryer? Are we trying to fetishize hair drying? It's not even an electric hair dryer. There are trains and a motor boat, so electricity wouldn't be out of place. Or if it is, it's emitting a hell of a lot of sparks. What is it plugged into? Does this mean there are magical outlets? There's some kind of magical infrastructure supplying magical electricity… to the baths? For the magical hair dryers?

Well, we got some relaxing ep to start a new arc and I would say I liked it nothing super good but it was ok, I like the parts where we get to see Akari from the future. What was that light in the fog? Also, Menou is starting to realize that she likes Akari, but she is still in denial.

This is called world building which you are not used to. If you paid attention to what they say everything from the technology is explained in episode 2 and this is a build up episode to the next arc and the start of adapting volume 2

After dropping this show at episode 3 i'm glad i picked this back up, this episode was pretty good and they kept pandemonium's scene a secret when in both manga and novel it was shown in the epilogue.

This ep didn't deviate much from the original story in the way a characters abilities work unlike previous episode where i didnt even know momo could do all that (or maybe i just forgot about it).

the hairdryer and engine boat were once again shown on how the influence other worlders had on this world, even the port city as well.

liked how it didn't shy away from the gore at the end of the episode and the lighting this episode was good especially during the meeting and how the fog affect the city making it not too bright but kinda dim which matches the aftereffects of the disaster pandemonium had around its vicinity.

hope they keep this up, this volume was my favourite out of 3 volumes i've read so i really hope the action scenes and character animation can really deliver the tension present in this volume and please do show the gore coz while reading the LN i was like WTFFFFFF....

Shokei Shoujo Fridays!

Love world building episodes like these. One thing this series has been really good at is explaining how concepts in this world work and the political divisions of the world. So now we have a new adversary with the fourth, looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

Holy shit that ending was pretty gory… the camera did emphasise the sandwiches on the table when the introduced the libelles…. I hope my assumption is wrong

People really missing out on peak isekai simply because there’s no self insert male character lol.

Menou and Akari's goal and objectives are right alongside each other, and this new chapter in their lives post Archbishop Orwell's deed, they're taking a brand new step to make sure that what needs to be done, has to be done.

The Port City of Libelle is the next segway, and for Akari's memories, the fog that is the Pandemonium (one of the 4 Errors) that once shrouded the city, it's something to be wary of. Some bath time, and Momo is snuffed to get some time to spend with her beloved Menou while hiding from Akari.

Menou and Akari try going into the Pandemonium, but are backed out due to the magic system imbued. Though what is truly going on behind the scenes, that's to be anticipated.

Good that you drop the show, you complains were a lot of stuff that didn't make sense. And the hair dryer was given "importance" (which wasn't that big of importance actually) because Menou was testing Akari's extremely high trust in her by letting her enter in her again, they aren't trying to fetishize it, this really says you aren't paying attention to the show.

Oh goodie, another edgelord character with no moral compass has been introduced most likely as yet another adversary for Menou and big boobed invincible girl. Can't wait to see if she also falls under the umbrella of cheap villians who infodump their evil plans.

I'm assuming that insane looking girl is an other worlder who's been tortured to the point of insanity.

Its interesting that Akari's future self is just like "Ah yes, this again. Everything is on track". I'm guessing this is all her awaiting for when they verse Menou's master who will probably get revealed to be the mastermind behind something.

This is a pretty calm episode after the last one and mainly focused on wordlbuilding. We get to see the city of Libelle and that one of the Human Errors, Pandemonium, is sealed there.

And we have a fanservice scene, specifically a bath one, a little fanservice here and there is nice to see. And Momo is finally reunited with her senpai, nice for her. We also get more cute moments between Menou and Akari but Menou still wants to get Akari killed so she send her with Pandemonium, but apparently Akari has been there too, so she was ready to be killed there and return with Menou.

We also get to see an organization there called The Fourth, and a new girl, Manon. She is going to be an important character later, those guys at that reunion should enjoy those sandwhiches XD.

Also, at the end we get to see Manon putting a little girl in an Iron Maiden with tons of blood coming out. Let's see how that goes.

Nice episode to start the adaptation of the second volume. As a LN reader I'm excited to see the new arc in animation, especially after the last volume adaptation was beautifully animated. Sad to hear so many people are dropping the show now, though I still highly recommend the LN. I understand these kinds of shows aren't everyone's cup of tea, but I feel a lot of people just don't have the patience for slower paced anime with good world building. All in all good episode to start out with, nothing too special but it gets the story set up.

Thought this was a really good episode.

I liked the approach they took with Akari being sent into the "Fog" and her basically being "Aw shit here we go again" But in typical anime fashion they change something with this "Time Return". So it will be interesting where and who that light came from.

Alright Manon definitely killed all those people after they ate those sandwiches.

Thats the little girl from the opening who rips her head off so I guess she also has some form of immortality.

All these shows about videogames RPG and that nonsense do the same thing and they are the most boring part. Why should I be interested about the world when anime does not try to be interesting?
I'll give you a better ideas to use how to show other isekai'd and how they get corrupted by the way they had to deal with the challenges in this world and it would make all the sense in the world for them to become villains like for example Ainz or simply give power to bad people who will obviously behave like bad people because they have the ease and advantage over everyone and there it would make sense that the executioners would kill him, but this show is completely boring and insubstantial just making the tiniest deviation from the same formula

I swear to god 70% of the time I see you write something in an anime discussion I ask myself "did we watch the same anime?" you compare this show to ones with rpg when there weren't rpg elements in this show to begin with. you ask for the show to simply give power to bad people while somehow forgetting that the first guy killed was turning bad and act as if you weren't just gonna dunk on the show for those villains doing bad things for the sake of doing bad things. as a point of reference, look at your thoughts about how Orwell killed girls just cause she's evil or something when she explicitly states she was studying them to find youth or whatever. if you can't pay attention to the motives of the main villain of the first arc of this show, i doubt you'd have paid attention to the villains in the idea you suggested. it's like cinimasins came to anime.

I presume this is an interlude for the next arc. Quite nice pacing after a huge battle last week where I see Menou and Akari just hanging around while also subtly putting a key plot here and there.
The technology, the fog, the mysterious light, and the sandwich girl. (sorry I really bad at remembering names)
I really love it when they have 1 chill episode in between episode 5 or 7 while also maintaining the world building. Most anime just throw fanservice aka beach episode with no relevance to the main story.

Journey to the west? No. Sanctuary, Menou said. Port city, and then Pandemonium, the prison of fog, when Akari called it as just a bunch of clouds. Damn those two really called it differently, i thought they both already matched up xd.

In addition of a super weird phenomenon with no more detail about it, those city actually being controlled by the people whose dislike Menou appearance as Flarette that being called by the Fourth, even to the church and the noble existence there, they belong to the Fourth.

So the daughter of those city Count kinda not liking the Fourth. Prolly manage to kill all those sad people inside those room. But then again, what's up with those little girl? I assume she's also the Lost One and the daughter of those Count might try to finish her off, but prolly unable too. Why? Well ... and then her parents tho. Was it really Flare who killed them? And what's their deal with Menou and Akari, since i think they can't be a nuisance for the yuri pair. Maybe Menou ended up helping her? Well ...

Alright, back to Akari again when entering the Pandemonium as a desperate way of way to kill her, its a big fail. Though with those information, looks like what Menou feared might becoming true, pure concept of time slowly doing something differently there when its just jack her off those prison with teleportation directly to the safest point near Menou. But i don't see how out of control time weaver can be a catastrophe, hmmm. Though, rip with Momo plan, and what about Princess Ashuna? Feels bad about her too.

Alright, that's it for now, and lets see next ...

this show is just so bland. i can binge all of my other weeklys but when it comes to this i just ponder dropping it.
I liked it because it gave me slight Magical Index vibes.. but it's just the great value version of it.
"I must kill her" -attempt fail- "I must find a new way to kill her" rinse, repeat I guess.

Akari and Momo incessantly fawning over the most unlikable character of the season is also getting old as well.

So with this episode changing the focus after the last one, episodes 1-6 was the first arc I guess. I wanted a bit more though, since it seemed like an huge thing to happen. I mean, it would've been interesting to see more characters from Faust give their side on this and how it all resolved within the faction, how was it even possible, how it might've been covered up and what they thought of her when the rest realized it. All we know is that there's an 'acting archbishop.' Lame resolution, if you ask me.

This was a chill episode, but it furthered my problem with Menou. Having a single person 'take care' of Akari like this (Momo is in the sidelines, ofc) is too reckless. It already introduces the threat of being endangered, which could force Akari to use her Pure Concept. However, Menou is starting to like her and she realizes this as well. She should understand that any compromises can endanger everyone in this case. The Faust could easily just make this a joint operation between multiple people and stop her from getting way too comfortable and seeing places = connecting. She isn't stupid, but she shouldn't be given a venue to be stupid. There's no real reason for her play this game of lies. Whatever problems come up, more than one/two people can secure the solutions.

I'm confused about the money the church is giving out. Orwell asked Menou to deal with a job in exchange for money for the pilgrimage. This episode, it was revealed that she gets paid in every town they come across. Assuming it's either for the pilgrimage or for taking care of Akari. Of course, Orwell used that to try to separate both of them, but Menou bought it on the spot. So why didn't they pay her for bringing Akari? Orwell could've dismissed her entirely and she probably would've accepted it. For good measure, send Momo to another mission instead of giving it to Menou and trusting her to give it to Momo. Akari (probably) dies, bada bing bada boom. Even if Akari does something to stop it, it was stupid that Orwell still couldn't think of an easy plan like that, or at least a bit more than what she had thought of.

Throwing her into the Pandemonium was a good idea, though. I'm interested to see what kind of otherworlder, Pure Concept and event caused such a massive fog with monsters inside it. I think it's cool that Akari is reminiscing these points in a timeline again, but I still don't really like that it's being used a reason for her to simp over Menou this much and skip over the development. Her memories don't travel in time, but her emotions do? Too convenient for me.

Ok, Manon is insane then. The whatever-council she was talking had a good argument to worry, so I assume this and the fact that she just killed(?) a girl so non-chalantly indicate she'll be an antagonist this arc* (I guess?).

I thought it would be a chill episode but turned out not to be. A new social introduced in this ep, who are essentially terrorists seeking "freedom". Love me some worldbuilding.

Menou tried to have Akari killed again but as usual, it didn't work. I hope we see more of those human errors.

It's going better and better. Behind the mist, giant monster is shown there. This is just me, maybe the monster was the Lost One, but couldn't be killed.


I can feel Umineko charracter like Bern, Lambda and Erika on Menou, Akari and Momo. I know this show won't go so much deeper and crazier, but it still worth to watch.

This is where I think drop this show. I'm not sure I have it in me to suffer through another month and a half of this banality and that mentally retarded girl with her girlfriend. At least with Mahoutsukai Reimeiki, I give it a 50/50 shot of reminding me of some other random trashy show from the past that I should really take another glance through again to remind myself that, yes, indeed, the drek of 2010 was better than all these cheat power fantasy RPGs. Granted, this is very far from the worst offender in that vein, but an episode where they meander aimlessly, take a bath, and then cheat power out of being off-screen leviathan'd by a formless waterfall blob… that's not exactly a step in the positive direction.

Jesus! as much focus was given to the existence of a hair dryer as there was to the supposed new 'plot', of the new crazy girl going to a meeting and then stuffing a girl in an iron maiden. Why are we so focused on the hair dryer? Are we trying to fetishize hair drying? It's not even an electric hair dryer. There are trains and a motor boat, so electricity wouldn't be out of place. Or if it is, it's emitting a hell of a lot of sparks. What is it plugged into? Does this mean there are magical outlets? There's some kind of magical infrastructure supplying magical electricity… to the baths? For the magical hair dryers?



you have as many drops as completed really says something. Be a bit more mindful and try to understand wtf is going on before commenting and try to learn what world-building is



It’s seven episodes in.

If the world has not been built, an eight minute bath scene is not going to be what gets it there.

really enjoyed this episode

Akari is still okay, but she gotta watch out for that flab in her side. lol

and it's quite a disturbing feeling how a close up of the sandwich was done. Looks like those sandwiches have human meat?!

I don't remember the reasoning behind why Akari deletes her own memories before she warps back in time
Because she wants Menou to kill her. If she knows this stuff. She will be able to avoid death every time.

Just like I feared on ep 1, that resolve on killing otherworlders with powers was nothing but a sham... Not sure why Menou's so focused on killing Akari instead of finding a way to send her back to her world.
Nah it isn't a Sham. She has gotten attached and Akari is kind of hard to kill. What doesn't help that both groups that were summoned here are not to be trusted as why make a way to leave their world when they can benefit from using them as lab rats? Also, they have made clear sending her back is off the table and the fear her powers go out of control is the troubling part.

I was hoping for one because the last three episodes have just been nonstop reveals and plot twists. They just had to introduce another group that doesn't like Flare. THis is gonna get fun.
I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon.

The world can always continue to be built or you want to be introduced to new things and them not being explained?, we already have the bases so now the series expands with other places, specially because in the novel this is Volume 2.

Throwing her into the Pandemonium was a good idea, though. I'm interested to see what kind of otherworlder, Pure Concept and event caused such a massive fog with monsters inside it. I think it's cool that Akari is reminiscing these points in a timeline again, but I still don't really like that it's being used a reason for her to simp over Menou this much and skip over the development. Her memories don't travel in time, but her emotions do? Too convenient for me.


Oh, about this, that's because she intentionally leaves her "love" for Menou and seals her memories so she can follow the timeline without altering it too much.

I disagree in that we know the bases. I don't speak for them, but I definitely want to know more about the power system. Not all power systems have to be so elaborate of course, but most magical stuff just happen. Even Black Clover, a power system on the simpler side, gave some explanation and even some layers to the grimoires by this point. Faust and Noblesse are still a bit non-existent; more background and characters are needed. A map with borders would be nice, especially considering all the travelling they do. A bit more history in general would be great.

I wouldn't say world-building has to be shown immediately, but I don't see any foundations besides names and a couple characters.

I think it's still a bit convenient that Akari can do this, and that this works this well. It's kind of dumb, because memories are usually important for feelings of relationship, especially for something like love. Some level of emotional connection could still exist, but not to this degree I suspect.

I mean her memories are within her, she just has them sealed and can be completely recovered under some conditions. So the memories are there, and the Akari that doesn't remember them feels trust to Menou due to them but she just cannot access to those memories, I don't know if I explained myself well.

I think this is good place to drop this here. Tbh I'm already not invested in this arc and I'm not going through this mediocrity again. I guess episodes 5/6 were flukes and to think I was beginning to like it. And the new girl Manon, I just don't care for her. She could be a great antagonist if I cared for her. Menou's method in killing Akari was pretty nice by sending her to the Pandemonium unfortunately it failed for her. Welp, I gave it the college try into watching this, it's just not interesting. Even though it has some good moments (not to mention I find Menou kinda attractive), it's otherwise just too boring. With that, good luck into people watching this.

Every time Akari says "Menou-chan" during this episode, take a shot.

this show is just so bland. i can binge all of my other weeklys but when it comes to this i just ponder dropping it.
I liked it because it gave me slight Magical Index vibes.. but it's just the great value version of it.
"I must kill her" -attempt fail- "I must find a new way to kill her" rinse, repeat I guess.

Akari and Momo incessantly fawning over the most unlikable character of the season is also getting old as well.
it's not bad. It's just not another generic harem isekai with an OP mc. Plus menou isn't unlikable.
