| Attack of the giant insects. Yikes. Oliver and the students had their hands full this episode. This honestly feels like a fight not to win but survive with the onslaught of those creatures. Feels like a desperate time when some characters are swarmed by them. One thing I do want to throw out there is the episode made it feel important and gave almost every character some spotlight. |
 |
| The battle continues against Oliver and Albright, and Nanao and Michela against Stacy and Flay. As we started exploring last episode, in the second level of the maze, known as The Bustling Forest, Oliver and Albright continue to clash with their blades. Oliver desperately endured and skillfully used his techniques to persistently match Albright's strength. Meanwhile, Michela and Nanao struggled against the coordinated efforts of Stacy and Fay. Why was Stacy so determined in her battle against Sheila? The answer lays in the complex circumstances surrounding the MacFarlane family. As much as I think Stacy is a bitch, I kinda felt bad for her this episode. She was not only rejected by her father, but as well as the author dude from a couple episodes ago. Now she also loses to Michela, her rival in a way. Her family is also just a means for a backup family in case the McFarlane branch dies out. I'm glad Nanao taught her the true essence of her life of not being Michela's spare, but as herself. Nanao truly knows how to bring someone to tears. Meanwhile Albright lost to Oliver, but he just can't seem to accept it. Bringing out a whole fucking stinger bee colony. But considering his upbringing that, it's warranted. A family that teaches their people to never lose, or they'll be consequences. Losing in even a mere chess game could lead to abuse. The Albright's don't play. With Albright defeated, another opponent has a appeared! This time in the form of a chimera. And it's token Pete! But it was really Salvadori? I'm hooked for next week now. |
 |
| Nanao was really badass. I'm really excited for what's to come in the upcoming episodes. |
| Wake up babe new nanatsuma ep dropped. They gotta stop with these 5 minute episodes lol. So the truth about Stace and Chela is finally revealed. Such a cruel twisted reality for the two sisters. No one is a “replacement” for anyone. Everyone is unique and has their own worth. When you’ve been raised hearing nonsense like that it’s no wonder Stace had such an insecurity complex and was desperate to take down Chela and earn recognition. Chela and Nanao’s words were exactly what she needed to hear though. Just knowing the person she looked up to and was chasing this whole time actually cared about her and wanted to have a proper sibling relationship was really sweet. Albright’s backstory is also really sad. His only friend being taken from him just because he lost to her. Don’t know what school of parenting his dad went to, but that’s a recipe for failure in most situations. Love everyone standing up to Oliver and saying they don’t need him to decide everything for them and protect them lol. Again, another example of how everyone in this series has their own role to play unlike most fantasy stories where the OP MC has a hero complex. It’s a massive group effort in this story. Chela’s elf transformation was really cool! That scene almost looked like a 1:1 of the LN illustration. Loved it I really got a sense that Albright didn’t even want to release the sting bees but just did it kind of for appearance sake. To appear like he was upset about the loss so that he wasn’t technically disobeying his father. That’s some nuance that I don’t remember picking up when reading so good job anime 👍 Nanao’s action scenes as usual were great. And that cliffhanger! Wow, pretty much 1:1 with volume 2’s epilogue. That brings us to the close of this volume and starting next week we get peak nanatsuma. Dunno how they’re gonna do this in two eps tho.. but we’ll see how it goes. EDIT: 15 eps, could’ve sworn MAL had 13 but yea we chilling |

| Oliver vs. Albright, while Nanao and Michela contends against both Stacy and Fay, the battle continues. No matter how Albright, Stacy and Fay fared, they just didn't stood a chance against the strong clique, even if their familial circumstances have already had their life destined for them. Stacy certainly understood hers, while Albright spent the former life with a girl who finally beat him at chess, though his father didn't take kindly towards that simple loss, which her family was decimated later on. But as family values go, Albright will not lose, and he summons an army of stinger bees for a bee colony, that not even Stacy and Fay are safe from it. While burning incense to get a clear line of strategy, the clique gets their ideas together, and Michela finally unleashes her powers from her origins being a half-human, half-elve origin, to which Nanao raises her blade against Albright, which it took just a fraction to call a loss on the latter. The truth between Michela and Stacy, is even if they are sisters within a different family but on the same branch, they'll still commune together. Same with Albright conceding his loss, fair and square. But just as one battle ends, another begins with monsters surrounding them at all corners, capturing Fay and Pete, and more students...because of Ophelia Salvadori's spell that is slowly building. What the hell is she up to now? |
 |
| What's up with this background music lol (from after the OP until 5:34). Am I the only one who thinks it's really inappropriate here? I hope things get more wholesome for Stacy. She's surrounded by good people. That's one shitty family to be born into. But the worst thing is how they got rid of that girl and her family. Chela is a half-elf! For a second I thought that I haven't noticed her ears this entire time. I feel like this is a weird place to put the ED. Scene after credits! Last arc for the season! This episode title: デューティー（責務）— Duty (duty; obligation) Next episode title: ポッシビリティー（生還率）— Possibility (survival rate) Also damn, this will be 15 episodes long? (2 OVAs airing weekly after episode 13) That's cool. |
 |
| Lol they are making new friends every episode. That cliffhanger tho... This school is just deadly, i could not go there :D |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| So Stacy was actually Chella's half sister, now her jealousy makes more sense but noble family traditions can be weird so Chella could do nothing even though she cared for her. Well better late than never, they can be together now in the academy. Also Chella was a elf all along, noice. Albright backstory was sad and Nanao made him taste big defeat which led to him changing. Though personally I liked Oliver's fight more. Things sure got messy in the post credit scene though. Time to put a stop to whatever Ophelia's doing. |
 |
| Now this is an eps. Mr Albright realising he defeated tells MC lets tell a story as well after werewolf and stacy did a little flashback. Then Albright totally misread the situation. After so much info about blood ties and selective breeding, Chela reveals she part elf and at this point you know shits about to kick off. Then after Albright, who is possibly decent gets defeated. Dungeon goes wild. Looks like Ophelia has gone wild. Lets go blades! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| When are we getting back to th revenge plot is it still in this season and apparently it's been extended to 15 episodes, does it happen this season or not? so I can drop it with peace of mind Call me simple Idc but Other than episode 6 , this show has truly bored me. |
| So this episode adapts the end of volume 2. They kinda had to rush some things, specially the fight scenes. Though one minor difference is that in the LN, Albright is flying on top of a bee, but here he was flying on a broom... |
 |
| the action scenes are so clunky and poorly animated, I expected better from JC Staff. it's hard to believe it's the same studio that made Is it wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon. the whole series looks cheap |
| Why they play so much? Nanao could've solo'd everything. Cmon man we know how OP she is |

| @Cestlavie_ You aint lying, now the fanbois will come for you lol |
|
| I continue to be impressed with this series. The plot is more than serviceable, the setting is interesting, and the action is well animated. This episode was no different. Definitely seems better than its reception so far. |
| very sad, but also in the end quite uplifting. i was worried about marco but i guess he's okay? i feel like even if the animation is meh, the story itself has the makings of an epic. idk how to feel about the post credit scene... |

| @Cestlavie_ if you're in only for the revenge plot you're clearly watching the wrong anime. Oliver has more than 6 years to eliminate 6 targets, there's no way they're going after another one now. The remaining targets are all extremely powerful and now are on their guard after the death of one of them. If Oliver and his group were to try to kill one right now, they would 100%fail, and all be insta killed with no possibility to reset or flee. This is NOT a shounen battle anime. There's no second chance, no backsies, no random power up to save the day, no nakama power. You go, you fail, game over, story ends. And I'm not exaggerating at all. There wouldn't even be a sliver of chance for success. So while you may be entertained as how the protagonist and his allies would get instant dismembered with all their body parts flying left and right as they scream in agony, I'm pretty sure that this story wasn't building all of what it was building just to randomly end right after the first step taken. The remaining 4 episodes will quite obviously be focused on what happens at the end of this episode. There will be a lot more information about stuff like the labyrinth as well, for example. If that doesn't interest you, you can safely drop it. Why they play so much? Nanao could've solo'd everything. Cmon man we know how OP she is @Vooo Not sure if serious, but if you were, Nanao isn't even the strongest among first year students, and all of those 6 participants are basically top 10 in their year. She ain't solowing shit. |

| So that's why Albright needs to choose the place to be there, he already well-prepare. Too bad nothing can stop the gang, even from a little stinge-bees. But its actually nice to see Chela revealed to be half-elf. Idk what to feel about flashback after flashback then. But eh? Its create more reason to kidnap those three onto Salvadori guts? Feels like episode lacking something that i don't know how to describe, even after this progress. But eh, i already coming this far, so why not finishing this, right? |

I see Thank You if it's like that I can take my leave ,and btw is not like I was only interested in the revenge plot line it's just the only interesting thing to have happened in this show and to just put it in the backseat immediately after and start focusing on Pete was just disappointing to say the least, I'm not expecting him to get his revenge this first year I want to see a casual build up every episode, u can't dangle a plot twist for one moment and not touch on it for countless episodes instead u introduce a less important plotline not related to the preceding one at all. The viewer just loses interest. |
| So we did end up getting more information regarding Chela's and Stacy's relationship, that they're half sisters and that Stacy's situation sucked. At least both of them seemed to have made up and I hope Stacy no longer holds ill will towards Chela. The Albright guy sure is a sore loser but damn did his father abuse him. I thought Oliver was being a little too nice by extending out his hand after Albright tried to force them to erase the memory of his loss and after Nanao beat him. But now they have some other issue to deal with, tentacle type monsters (hopefully Pete wasn't molested lol) that may be controlled by that succubus lady Ophelia. |
| Save for 1 episode, I don’t get why Oliver is the mc. They completely ruined any hype surrounding him being any good by making him always struggle against these first years and then have Nanao save the day. So frustrating to watch |
Dude, the guy said nothing wrong. That’s what happened at the end of the episode after credits 🤦🏽♂️ |

Not sure how you’re seeing this differently. |
| welp, 4 more weeks to go. |

| Between Miligan's parents experimenting on her & her siblings, the traditions goes on in McFarlane and Albrights extremism about maintain their pride, its almost like a mage family having healthy social household is more an exception than a rule doesn't? No wonder the kids are messed up. Out of all the differences Spellblades has with Harry Potter, its magical society both in and out of school are its largest. Some of these conflict may seem petty surface, but they are actually the tip serve problems with magical world, populated by a lot people just view their children as tools to continue their research. Its as if the ideology of Fate Mage Tower spread to encompass a country. Its why Stacy and later Joseph are the way they are. The former is desperately grasping at straws becasue she been alienated from everyone outside of Fay and later resigned himself to his fate. They all equal helpless because they don't make to rules, so they are just trying to hang on what little they have left or ever had. |
| My objectivity goes down the hole when music like this plays during a battle: Great episode mostly because of this. |

| @Cestlavie_ That's actually pretty normal story telling for long running stories ? That episode 6 was the end of the prologue, so it's talking about the long end goal. This doesn't change whatever was built during the other episodes (or else they would be pretty useless wouldn't they) , as in, Oliver needs to live, survive, through the 7 years at the academy, while KEEPING A LOW PROFILE in order to not attract the suspicion from the teachers. It's like, I don't know how in HxH we are introduced to the protagonist's goal to meet his father, but it's not like the first few arcs are about that. And so on. Most properly written long stories will be like that. |

In this show, it seems like they make Nanao to be some sort of god-tier first year student while Oliver’s a pushover, which is frustrating imo. Not sure how you’re seeing this differently.
| @Animillion Because Nanao is barely better at fighting overall than Oliver. There's only one student that is way above the rest in year one and that's not Nanao; that's Chella. Everyone else in the top 10 depending of the conditions can beat one another. Like Albright is overall stronger than Oliver, but Oliver still managed to bring him to a loss in that duel. And Albright is super strong for a first year. Same with Fey when in werewolf form. Stacey, who was the weakest of the 6 and probably around the 10th spot in year 1, would still obliterate pretty much anyone out of the top 10 with barely any effort. Nanao is only excellent at melee distance but that's a distance that isn't that easy to go in if any competent mage were to refuse to go in it. She does have her deflect but that ain't doing crap if whatever is thrown at her cannot be deflected that way. Meanwhile Oliver is way, way more well rounded and can adapt to pretty much any situation on the fly. Oliver is probably right in the middle of that top 10, with Nanao being a bit above. |
|
| so boring !!! 2 previous episode is more interesting !!! still wait for enemy the principal and others |
| The elf thing felt pretty random, but sure, everyone gets to be special. Except Guy. Makes it feel even more likely to me that he's the one who'll end up betraying our happy little group. Cause of course someone will. Wonder if where this is going is that Ophelia's spell will get messed up by Pete's change. It looks like only guys in that cage. |
| The episode was good, but the after credits scene was excellent. I suspect Pete will be the key since he is a she and no longer has hang time. Ophelia probably won't be able to charm her. |
Reply to LawTheHost
Too many backstories about people I dunno who would even care about
| @LawTheHost You literally only get two. Point of backstories to flesh out characters and the world regardless of whether you care about them or not. |
| Albright really said let me have a turn to talk about my backstory too rofl. So much for Pete saying they aren't there to hold Oliver back when almost instantly after he trips and gets captured. Pete fucking sucks. |
 |
| I dont know why Albright is so concerned on conforming to family bullshit when his dad murdered someone for beating him at chess. He should just kill him and be done with it. Nanao really made that speech to Stacy come off pretty awkward so i get it kind of was said out of a mix honesty and naivety at the same time while coming off helpful and wise anyway which was a bit weird but not really in a bad way Ophelia sending out tentacles now? Nice lol |

The revenge plot is not the focus of the story, it is a side-plot, the main story is about humans according to Alderamin Vol 14 Afterword. Furthermore, Oliver and his allies need to keep a Low profile to avoid attracting attention from the professors. Well, they will be destroyed if they immediately go after one of them right away, considering how powerful those professors are. |

- Chela's Cousin ... well well, "donated genes" indeed. That's depressing.
- All she wanted was to shine for who she is, the biological daughter of her idol.
- Contrast this with sob story #2, Bee Boy is not allowed to lose, or the bees, they get mad! Really mad! Bzzzt!
- Everyone run away from the angry buzzing bees
- Oh no monsters are goutta control! People are getting taken!
- Never trust a succubus. (but maybe they'll die happy)

thought i was going insane like where the hell is the revenge plot for oliver because if the show was focused solely around him and his mission to avenge his mother then i’d like this show a lot more but instead they sideline his ass and made nanao the main character since she gets all the spotlight and op abilities
| @s0me_dude Right?? There is way too much Nanao and Oliver, I feel like the others aren't getting much of a chance to shine. |

And because he has the only spellblade in their group which is their only way to win against opponents that would be otherwise way out of their league (derspite pretty much all of them being way stronger than Oliver outside of that), they don't want to endanger him by involving him in anything like recon, research, spying and so on on the other targets. Everything or almost gets done by the others, who are more replaceable than him. The others are upper classmen, they're way stronger, more knowledgeable about Kimberly, and so on. They're better suited to venturing into lower layers of the labyrinth and other stealth/ recon mission than Oliver would ever be; and Gwyn fits way better as their coordinator for day to day organisation than Oliver who is still a first year would ever be. As for training, he's training as part of being a first year; like everyone else. He already said that he would use the hideout to venture deeper into the dungeon as well, for example. His job in the group outside of the assassination moment is literally to behave like a student and lay low. |
