seriously, what is this

I see a lot of comments hating on the new villain who is evil just because. Didn't like him either. But let's face it, some people are bad no matter what because of their personalities. It happens. I didn't get one thing though about this episode: aren't women in that country higher in hierarchy than men? Doesn't that mean that they should listen to women and not hurt them and stuff? That's what was said ever since the first episodes. Yet in this episode no one listens to melty (and she is mistreated). Nor the knights, nor the fat guy. I just don't get it. Was kinda annoyed by that, I kept expecting that they would obey..

No they are not because they are actually threats and actually can harm the protagonist

That’s so redundant, though. Ofc villains are supposed to be dangerous to the protagonists. That’s like trying to teach what’s already a common knowledge.
An antagonistic figure that can’t be a consistent or major threat to the Mc cannot be called a villain. A villain can also be passive threat where they become more superimposing and relevant to the story.
The villains in Disney are ofc still dangerous to begin with because somebody gotta male something concrete with only 1 or 2 hours of edited film content. Heck, by your logic, the “sharpteeth” in the Universal Picture films of Land Before Time could be some of the greatest written villains of all time because they’re consistently dangerous and harmful to the main cast.

I mean, the one that killed Little Foot's mom, arguably is the greatest villain of all time.

Killing him would also be cliche. Cutting his arm off would be perfect tho.

So if people are complaining about this setting up Raphtalia as the "ideal waifu" or whatever and how "Disney cartoonish" the villains are....then lemme tell you this....how else should the show continue its apparent theme without excessively "plotbaiting" solely for the main guy like in most other isekai/fantasy shows I've seen?

I'm lost here, but I guess that's the power of this show. It's supposed to get viewers frustrated and angry xD

+1
I completely agree. These people will NEVER be satisfied. They have already made the decision to disapprove this show no matter which direction it goes. Let them make their contrived complaints while hiding behind so called intellectual sound rational.
- Oh btw, I've took the liberty to check their list to see which shows they found favorable over this one and all I can say is ROFLOL.

The studio is producing an extremely incosistent animation, as in both animation and sounds. Befitting of such a title, I guess, but it really does catch itself in ones eye.

What are you talking about, you sound like an old man rambling about nonsense.

MayInu said:
I love Raphtalia so much and I hope she kills that bastard, but she probably won't cause her heart is too kind for revenge.

I'm done with Melty. I seriously dislike her being so tsundere-ish and getting annoyed at Naofumi and Raphtalia's relationship. Excuse me, you are the newbie here. I just want her to go back to being a 'useful' noble and ally and that's it.

I live it when the focus is on Raphtalia. It makes the show so much more enjoyable and original. I don't need tsundere lolis. I'm fine with Filo cause she's cute and funny (though she does annoy me sometimes, but it's fine), but Melty is a no for me.

It's less so Melty being annoyed at Naofumi and Raphtalia's relationship and more of that she's annoyed that she isn't getting the same level of trust as Raphtalia.

"We don't know when this place will get attacked. I make a point of not sleeping at times like these."
OH MAN WHAT A HARDCORE BADASS!!! NAOFUMI IS SO COOL!!!

So rape is the worst possible crime you can commit in this country, but they only dispatch the troops and distribute "Devil of the Shield" propaganda now that the crown princess has supposedly been kidnapped? And people argue that the initial premise of this story wasn't completely contrived.

This episode wasn't terrible, but ultimately the show is still riding on the justice porn. Look, new scumbag villain (who was not introduced in previous episodes even though he has history with a main character) to bring down after a sufficiently tear-jerking backstory. Suddenly Raphtalia is being affected by her past even though all traces of trauma were erased overnight between two episodes.

cutting his body parts would be great yeah.

Kisai113 said:
Above average episode!

There are some holes in here that are more apparent on the second watch through. Melty could throw an iceball at the noble when he's being all leery but it's good! This show works when it can blend a pinch of building with a lot of action, drama and events. It should have leaned into the darkness a bit more to give more power to Raphtalia's story. You get it but letting it gestate for a full episode would give more power to it. Tahat said maybe the pacing works fine with part 2.

bella_bellxa said:
i agree, it's getting repetitive & the villains are cartoonishly evil too

soham17dey said:
This is getting more and more cliched as it drags on. The new villain is just bad, and they’re really pushing it with how far they can take the one single plot point of how melty and the king hate naofumi. Meh

Dhyan_manu said:
That's because anime doesn't have enough time to show it in detail LN explains that well about raphtalia's trauma and sickness she had.

Brick_ said:

Yeah, but its all about that church. Racism, Bigotry and Xenophobia have been around for centuries in human history. These people hate them just because of who they are. Humanity has done the same thing countless times.

Daniel_Naumov said:

There is a big conceptual rift between what they are presenting in the series. So there is a(n yet another) fat villain, who is also a part of the anti-Shield Chruch/Cult. They have religious symbols, they are speaking of religion and its symbolic and then what happens when they get whooped once by a half-human raccoon? He drops down and starts begging for his life. A proper villain under a religious cult would start shouting and calling for punishment against the vile half-scums and that the true faith will smite them into smithers or something. They would not beg for their worthless lives to something as wrong and insignificant in their belief. As such the whole religious sub-plot is irrelevant, as the characters, albeit having some religious lines, behave outside what being a follower implies. This is not a bad writing, this is a critical logical flaw.
