It's hilarious how they had to wait until they caught up with the Shield Hero for trying to murder Melty instead of just doing it on the way to meet up with them. Now the Shield Hero can protect the damsel in distress. Snot-nosed_Brat said: this episode was shit from an animation standpoint... is this really the same studio that did made in abyss? at this point i might as well read the manga -_- That's weird because this episode has more actual animation than the previous ones and spotted even a sakuga scene (https://www.sakugabooru.com/data/27146309b4ecc89e7db4fe0cb3aa5694.mp4) Like, that is not bad animation my dude, I don't understand where the complaints are coming from. |

| Ok episode, didnt like the Glass fight that much but Naofumi talking shit to King and threatening him felt good. This adaptation has its ups and downs (mostly down) but I am enjoying it for what its worth. Still say the manga's vastly superior in the way it portrays its characters and events. Like this one for instance While it is a minor detail, its still funny and adds some mixed up elements in the moment. Not that I'm saying they should copy paste the whole thing from manga to anime, Kaguya-sama's been doing that in a way that makes the transition better, this anime sadly does not. I'm still holding a grudge on the decisions they've done with Nao's personality, they tame'd down his edge so damn much it makes it less entertaining. They didn't even add the scene when Melty talked to Nao after he was done talking to the king. Hatsuyuki said: Jazzuke said: yay... another poorly constructed cliffhanger.

| I'm enjoying this anime. - I got a feeling that Glass could be one of the past heroes a former shield hero who changed class. I have a feeling she has a very revealing backstory. - King is up to his a-hole self by harassing Naofumi with pointless tricks. Red haired bitch shows up and reminds us how much of a piece of rotten garbage she is. - I kinda felt at sone point there would be some sort of attempt to kill Melty and frame Naofumi. Melty is next in line to succeed the throne and in the way of that red haired cunt. |

| Great episode. That first fight threw at us some interesting questions about waves. Then Naofumi's epic meeting with king totally made my day. Melty's talk with king was great too, but in other way - king might actually have some other sides than just being boring bad guy. If that ends up adding more depth to his character that'd be awesome. And that last scene... I so hope he will succeed (it seems he will?) at stopping their plans and won't become a victim of another ruse. Hatsuyuki said: Jazzuke said: yay... another poorly constructed cliffhanger.

Tomak said: I also really disliked the way Raphtalia and Filo reacted when Melty asked if they thought Naofumi and the king should go and make up. They suddenly acted like Naofumi was half the problem and like he just needed to take the first step. They might not be aware that he was falsely accused of rape but I am sure they are aware of how the king and other people have treated him. And I mean Melty was told by her mother to make sure that her father doesn't act like to much of a shit towards the shield hero so I am sure she is aware that Naofumi is not the forst part of this problem that needs to be solved. And what incentive do Raphtalia and Filo have for wanting Naofumi to get along with the king? They are aware that they are being treated like shit and that Naofumi is paranoid and an asshole for a reason. I get that they might want him to get along with Melty but the king, really? They reacted that way because they felt Naofumi was being harsh to a little girl (seriously, she was close to crying lol) that has not done anything wrong to him, it wasn't because of what Melty said. Melty was close to throwing a tantrum with the way she was talking and her tone so they just went along with her cause Naofumi's already destroying her. |
| |
| This is the first episode where I'm kinda disappointed. Glass wasn't immune to his cursed fire, that's why she switched to long range attacks in the source material. Also, they took the scene out where he straight steals that potion from Malty. That scene was so good, I'm sad they took it out. It wasn't a bad ep... it was just... okay. |
| I understand that music played during Glass vs Naofumi doesn't sound so serious but I feel like it fits for other reasons. Seeing how Glass is dressed and her weapons of choice (fans) I feel like the music used in the battle was her own theme. Kind of like when you into a boss battle and the boss's music starts playing. I do enjoy her being more powerful than the others as it creates some tension in a powerful creature/person that you can't beat. I honestly wished she caused more damage. The wave timer expiring was a nice way to end the battle without doing some stupid pull to make Naofumi be able to beat her. For the assassination attempt, it's obvious that the goal was to set up the Shield Hero but if they kill Melty in the wagon to the shield hero it would be weird that none of the soldiers are injured if the shield hero "attacked". I'd also assume they probably thought the shield hero wouldn't defend her because he sees her like Malty and the King. If they had made the soldiers closer to Melty I think the assassination attempt would have looked a lot better. |
 |
| The fight scene was alright, though I wish it was more dynamic. The way Naofumi owned the king was satisfying and it was pretty funny how Melty progressively got more and more frustrated to the point that she threw a tantrum. |
| Glass fight was a bit underwhelming, or maybe i expected more.. idk There's certainly more about the shield here and the demi humans that we still don't know... really curious about it. |
 |
| The music for the fight with Glass was really funny lol, fight didn't feel that great too eh. He didn't even call the King "trash" goddammit, was really looking forward to that. Melty was cute at least, also liked how she owned her Bitch sister. |
 |
| Round 2: sheildbro vs trash king *Fight!* Trash king starts with a hammering of insults. But this time Shieldbro is prepared and deflects all his attacks! Shieldbro counterattacks, much to trash king's dismay! Trash king takes a dose of his own medicine! Sheildbro deals the final blow! Trash king becomes unconcious. And the winner is our beloved shieldbro |

It was when Naofumi called him a monkey. |
| So convenient that the moment of the wave should end just when they faced an enemy that they could not overcome and that would easily have defeated them all there, but who cares? If these enemies have attack patterns as unnatural as if they were programmed in a event of game on smartphones, of course the protagonists also have a menu screen so it would make sense if it was a game, but remember that it is not. It does not matter his "fight" because it does not lead to anything, Glass feels like a nosy interloper because the wave went away without having to defeat it But man, just how stupid is she? If she’s so hellbent on her side winning in the end, why did she dick around against the heroes? I would’ve just wiped the floor with them. We burned like ten minutes for nothing. Then we went through the scene of naofumi facing the king which if we consider his situation does not make him a brave man but he makes in being a total dick. His situation is already bad enough. Maybe he think that his actions couldn’t hurt, because they already hate his guts. But from my perspective, he’s just lashing out like an immature teenager He gets a bit of power and he starts talking shit and it becomes an arrogant.  About the last scene I can not do anything but laugh if this is called an attempt to create a cliffhanger, -"I need to kill the princess I’m escorting. Should I do it now, in the middle of nowhere with no one else around, or wait until she’s right in front of her powerful friends, one of whom has a magic shield?". If his plan was just to kill her and frame Naofumi, it’s not like it matters whether or not he was there to witness it. Besides, you’d think that if some random soldier took the princess’ dead body back and said Naofumi totally did this with the sword he doesn’t have, people wouldn’t just take his word for it *looks at episode 1* oh wait never mind. |
| Ah that cliffhanger xD What a 'bitch' that Malty is ... :) |

| Finally the king got at least put in his place, at least a little bit. But Malty still breathes and deserves to perish in a painful and humiliating way. |

| Of course the hero trio would use the same meteor attacks at once against Glass, these idiots can’t do these idiots can’t do anything right, smh. What kind of shitty assassination setup is this?! Why not kill her while on the way to Naofumi? Why do a fucking 10 meter charge with Sword drawn? Could you not have just walked up normally and stabbed her with a dagger? But they go for the most obvious backstab out in the wide open where his party can account for SH as witnesses. Not to mention, SH can’t use weapons like swords. I hope this was done to point out the idiocy of the plan most likely created by Myne or its just bad writing. |

| That assassination attempt tho.. Next level planning. |
RayReynolds said: But from my perspective, he’s just lashing out like an immature teenager He gets a bit of power and he starts talking shit and it becomes an arrogant. Yeah, because the series is designed to have that appeal; the fantasy of giving the finger to a santimonious authority figure who has been "caught out" in some hypocritical wrongdoing. Just look at the highlights of the plot. First, the false rape accusation. Then, the hypocritical condemnation of slavery. And finally, the mistaken, arrogant idealism of the other heroes. The satisfaction of watching this series is all about the payoff of Naofumi getting his moment to call out everyone that's done him wrong, and show that he was really their superior all along. In other words, it's just another self-insert power fantasy disguised behind the "original" concept of a "weak" MC. But that weakness was a red herring. Naofumi was OP all along in the sense that his character was contrived to have the moral and intellectual high ground from the start. |
| Hmm Glass huh. She certainly is a formidable opponent while also having great battle sense as well. Glass's arsenal of attacks sure is quite impressive. They sure were lucky in managing to escape from her though. But this encounter shows not just the fact that there is more behind the waves but also how much stronger Naofumi and party have to grow before they face the next crisis. The gaze and the words that Naofumi gave to the king after his threats sure was satisfying to see. The interaction between Melty and her sister sure was amusing. Nice to see the weapon shops owner finally get a name. Melty's explosion of anger sure was unexpected but at the same time hillarious. Looks like things within the royal family are getting serious with this assassination attempt. |

| malty finally made her move at the end of this episode. This is going to get rowdy. The following episodes will reveal many things so looking forward to them. felipeliborio said: the wave was ending. she would have being trapped on this side if she did not leave. Also despite appearing invincible her mana is limited as well, especially when the waves are not active.I see no problem in Naofumi abandoning the others, but it is a major fault that Glass didn't kill them all. Overall it was an average episode. Naofumi's talk with the king saved it from total boredom. BourBon-7so said: there are two reasons:it's probably too late to ask but why did Malty accuse Naofumi of raping her and shit ? , at first i thought cause she wanted to steal his stuff but apparently she's a princess so money shouldn't be a problem , can someone help me out here ? i can't figure it out . 1. she wanted Spear hero D 2. this will be revealed in the next few episodes. |

One would hope that Kinema Citrus is saving that budget for the 2nd half, but that may be too optimistic. It's not that the action scenes are bad (well, Ep. 8 wasn't particularly good), but they've been generally basic. |

Why wait all the way until she'd met up with Naofumi and actually had someone that could both witness the incident but also maybe protect her? Maybe they want to frame him for this as well? Still a completely assinine setup. I am ALMOST certain next episode we will have half the kingdom think he actually killed her and for some stupid reason Naofumi won't be able to show everyone he didn't do it and princess will stay with him. Or some setup like that. Lord I hope I'm wrong and this show doesn't devolve into that stupid territory. |

There is one sequence that shows how the other "heroes" The other heroes are also strongly convinced that the world plays out exactly like the game they played in their respective Japans. Not only does this mindset hinder their power, but it also makes their strategies one-dimensional as demonstrated last episode. |
| So Glass is indeed a wave boss and pretty powerful as well....so who is that wiseguy who tell's me not to assume anything since she killed off one of her own in my ep 11 quote????? Cu'z there is no doubt that she is the wave boss the moment I saw her. Welp the 2nd wave ends with them heroes loosing to a more powerful wave boss like Glass, so I'm thinking as one wave get's defended a new and more powerful one comes along. Whoa did Malty just tried to kill her little sister Melty, cu'z it kinda looks like the she capable of doing allota thing dirty??? |
Oh boy, this one looked so ridiculous. I think the director needs to re-read his dictionary. Really interesting definition of "trembling" here (lmao). |
| SEE MELTY! They just tried to assassinate you! So STOP scolding at Naofumi and telling HIM to go back tp apologize to YOUR dad cuz look who looks more like they're in the wrong! Also....Go ahead and let the King get scolded by the Queen, I think a scolding is deserving kthx. That aside....darnit I need more eps... |
:3 |
| And here i thought that he will kick this Glass or whatever the fuck her name was, ass. I still cant get used to a overpowered female characters even after 500 animes. Feels so weird. Maybe because i try to compare it with real-life situation. Second half of the episode was ok, i guess. Looking forward to the next cour. A little bit of more action wouldn't hurt at all. |
 |
| Damn malty is bitchiest bitch. That whore trying to kill her own sister. |

My favorite line was "Sorry, but I'm no entertainer". Actually Naofumi... you kind of are. I'm very entertained by this. Just probably not in the way that was intended. |

| Sooo... The first half of the episode was the fight between Glass and Naofumi and... Well, it was kind of dull. Just Glass being OP and dealing with Naofumi's attack with ease, some generic bad guy phrases and other heroes being useless as always. Naofumi and the king scene was pretty satisfying. Then Melty acting like the quarrel with the king was Naofumi's fault and telling him to apologize. Ugh. I understand she wants them to reconcile, but it could be put in a different way. Also, what the hell was with this assassination attempt? I really want to believe, that due to some kind of scheme it had to look like this. Otherwise it was terrible. This episode was not bad, but it could be done much better. |
