Baby Jesus on a ffuking cracker! The propaganda this show expels is trully off the charts! It's not even funny anymore, is so blatant that it can actually take you out of it. The amount of garbage this anime spews is horrendous all in the name of "inclusion and don't hurt my fee-fees" & made for "modern audiences"

And some ppl in here are defending this POS and actually saying stuff like "anime of the season" "best one of the season" 🤣🤣 we truly live in a 🤡 world full of morons.

I felt nothing when the Garuda and rest of Kobold slaughter those punks. Glad they got their comeuppance.

I have my biases against JC Staff, but I’ll admit they handled the Garuda fight pretty well. If they can maintain that for the other big fights I’ll be happy.

Poor Garuda. It was a lot more likeable than most of those absolute garbage spectators.

I wonder who thought it'd be a good idea to go ahead with the animation without going through the art designs or character interactions and scripts properly. The producers saw the potential but refused to do more than the bare minimum.

EP 4

Otherwise that was the entire ep. have to see the fallout. obviously uh.
Also we get an actual post ed scene this time, though it doesnt really tell us much, too dark to see.
Presumably its the same person who did the troll attack back in ep 1, but we still dont really have much of an idea as to who or why

Andrews getting off with no repercussion is cringe af

Katie is also a clown. It's one thing to be against torturing beasts for fun. But defending a troll that was going berserk after her life is another thing.

I am tired of every piece of trash (Andrews) getting their redemption. Why can't we just have trash being trash and getting their karma?

It's probably just me, but this show somehow backfired and made me side with the antagonists because they didn't make the main characters likeable enough. Like I know the antagonists are being comically one-dimensionally mean, but with the show doing such a miserable job making the main characters sympathetic, I was actually finding myself laughing along with the bullies mocking Katie. Then Oliver gives the bullies the moral high ground, he uses physical violence against words. Like wasn't there something said about a strict rule of students not allowed to fight each other outside of a duel? And all they got was detention? What makes Oliver's attack even more unsympathetic than using physical violence against words is Oliver essentially sucker punched the guy, or more accurately shot him in the back when he wasn't looking. Like seriously, this show expects me to like the main characters when they do stuff like that?

Then during the duel, okay it was bad the bystander students (not the bully students) were making the Kobolds who didn't want to fight to fight to the death, sure...but then the Garuda shows up with his message of "how do you like it now" and starts slaughtering everybody with the Kobolds...am I supposed to side with the monsters after that? Like seriously? The Garuda and Kobolds just validated all the anti-monster sentiments as being correct. Don't think so? Even bleeding heart Katie couldn't bring herself to be pro-monster while killing Kobolds all around her. Oh, I guess she can't say she's so sure monsters won't kill somebody, and take responsibility for it's actions now like what she said about the troll.

And what makes matters even worse for what the show was supposed to be trying to do, they made Richards seem like a better character than the main characters with his "redemption". Like I know they went hard on making him looks like a pathetic coward, but they actually gave him better character growth than the main characters so far. He was a coward, but he worked through his cowardice to become a little bit better of a person. It wasn't much, but when the main characters themselves have so less, it actually made me like him better than main characters. Yeah, maybe I'm just weird for it to play out that way for me, but what I'm seeing from the commenters who actually like the main characters is they hate this redemption of Richard, so even if you like the main characters like how the show is supposed to make you feel, the show still screwed up.

What a hilarious train-wreck. The production values of the animation is still good though, and I got to admit when Nanao decapitated the Garuda, it was pretty bad ass. Somebody should go ask Katie if she would agree, LOL. I'm sure she's going to hypocritically go back to her pro-monster ways with that troll like nothing happened. I get that troll seemed to be manipulated into a rampage, but as far as anybody else knows it rampaged by itself, so the anti-monster sentiment against it is correct given what is known, and Katie's position of just siding with it for no good reason is incorrect.

Some interesting developments here with Andrews, who's being tormented by the weighty expectations of his family name. Fortunately, he still opted to help out fighting the "Garuda" in the end. The fight itself was choreographed well too.

That said, much like the troll that was put into the parade earlier, I'm not sure how or why this Garuda was present in the monster pens. Surely it wouldn't be an easy feat to imprison a "divine beast familiar" like that.
