anyone else think the war game was gonna be at least half the season lol? Also that the fight between bell and their commander was gonna be a full episode?

Can't complain though it was a lot of action, I kind of hope they take in those 2 girls from apollos family since they didnt seem bad they just lost to apollo

The battle of Bell vs Hyakhintus was supposed to be longer, they skipped 2/3 of the fight.

The only complaint I would have is that the studio messed up the bell ringing sound when Bell was charging his ability. It's like they didn't even watch the last episode of the first season.

That went by in a flash, I honestly expected a war game to be "bigger" than what I just seen. Felt a bit rushed was still nice to see the Hestia familia kick Apollo's ass.. Ryu with those magic swords was pretty impressive. They all have incredible skill!

Bell was protected by the necklace that Syr gave him. It was actually handed to her by Freya, but JC Staff skipped almost everything and just showed Freya at the end.

Bell vs Hyakhintus was supposed to be longer, and the pervert got quite injured when he ate a direct hit of Firebolt. JC Staff just decided it was a good idea to skip 2/3 of the battle.

I was not expecting the war games to be done in one episode, but at the same time I knew Team Hestia was not going to take on the the Apollo familia head on without a plan. Having Lilly disguise herself as the enemy was a nice touch and seeing Ryuu using magic swords was badass. Apollo was talking all that trash before the war games, he deserved to loose everything including his familia. I wonder if some of the former members of the Apollo familia will join Hestia's familia.

well it served as a plot device for them to get a new home and frankly im kinda glad it's over .

This episode was amazing, the Hestia family beat Apollo, just remembering how Apollo's face was deformed when he saw how his beloved children were defeated was glorious and what I liked most was that Cassandra warned them of everything and all the Apollo family did deaf ears of her warning.

Lili did an excellent job in supplanting Luan and causing chaos in the fortress, but Mikoto and Ryu did not fall behind, both managed to defeat several members of Apollo's family.

I loved Ryu in this episode, she put aside her pride and used the magic swords that Welf made and with both swords made the children of Apollo tremble.

Bell played it big on Hyakinthos, the idiot believed that Bell would not reach the room where the coward was hiding, that firebolt did an excellent job and the fight between Bell against Hyakinthos was good until Cassandra intervened and ruined it.
Bell completely deceived the fool of Hyakinthos, who believed that he had already won the fight by leaving Bell injured, but that glorious punch that Bell gave to Hyakinthos was so satisfying, especially when he saw the horrific face of Hyakinthos lying on the floor completely knocked out . Bell used very well the advice that the beautiful Ais gave him in their training.

Hestia took everything from Apollo, his home, his possessions and his pride, besides that the busty loli banished him from Orario and now the Apollo family is extinguished.

I was curious about the amulet that Syr gave Bell, was it from someone who was part of the Zeus family?

I am very happy to see the Hestia family gathered at the doors of their new home and seeing Hestia releasing the new symbol of the Hestia family was so perfect.

The episode had its details in terms of animation, but nothing to complain about, personally I did not imagine that it lasted more than two episodes the war games arc, knowing the numerical superiority that Apollo had, I assumed that Bell and his companions would use a quick strategy.

What other familia joined the war? Mikoto, Welf, and Lili all joined Hestia's familia.

Wait really that's what happened? Thanks. That's so stupid though that Mikoto joined. That's not the only problem I have with her either. Her gravity magic was strong enough to hold everybody down for a while fine but no way she didn't exhaust a load of mana doing that yet he was still able to fight all those guys after letting them get up. Bell shouldn't have been able to beat that guy after barely training that's the biggest horseshit i've seen in a long time. Otherwise it was pretty neat I guess but animation seemed better in S1.

It was pretty decent but I guess I was expecting some more from the war game and not just it getting resolved within an episode. Fight sequences could've been much better and Bell's fight didn't really have much going on.

I guess the best part of the episode was smug Hestia at the end. xD

For LN readers, did war game arc should be this short or there is some part was skipped? For me personally it's like they rush it, how they build story it's good but still feels too shallow and the end of arc feels not right. Did war game arc have longer story than this Or did it suppose to be just like that? I didn't hate it if you ask me, I love this story but still for me it's unpleasant to see this.

V9-11 will be season 3, if it ever happens. But honestly, i dont want JC Staff touching those volumes. They will surely ruin THAT fight.

They skipped a lot of material, War Game should have lasted 2 episodes and the arc 6 episodes. In page 2 i made a comment about things they skipped or changed about this episode, they also skipped things for the other 3 episodes that were quite important for upcoming arcs.

That was a fast battle, I'm really disappointed because I expected the war to last at least 2 episodes to create a bit of intensity. But maybe there is more greater to to come, or at least I hope.

Wasn't impressed by the familia crest design by Hestia, but I liked the meaning behind it!

I was really impressed to see how much the group has improved, and I loved seeing them come to together to overcome such a big obstacle. For just the 5 of them to take all of them out, and end the War Game in one episode? Very cool. I like the pacing so far, not dragging it along, or not going to fast through it either.

1 episode is all it takes to make or break the long awaited season.

Honestly, as much as everyone expected the War Game to last 2 episodes, the fact that it ended in 1 epísode was kinda abrupt. Love it or hate it, take your pick. LN readers take your choice to reveal missing infodump (which I can speculate that it's gonna be a lot).

Honestly, the MVP is Lili, what a perfect betrayal, shows how much she is accustomed to Bell and Co. And the Apollo Familia's Cassandra is honestly a great character, attached to her is the prophecy historical mythology, which would make or break the War Game.

IMO, I'm alright with the progression, but if the future episodes/arcs are jeopardized, then the pacing is the problem.

That was an action packed episode! Kinda sad this arc was only put in one episode. Felt rushed at times. Loved seeing Ryu kick ass! Bell also using Ais's message in his fight was awesome! If only Bell's fight lasted longer. Overall I am enjoying this season. Pacing seems okay, hopefully what comes next won't seem as rushed as this episode. And I liked Appollo sad to see him go. JUST me I guess LOL

Well, this was just bad. JC Staff has been known for skip and rush things, which they did here, of course.

-Bell was not supposed to have the Hestia Knife here, as it was used to pay Lily's debt (they got it back with Apollo's money later)
-Welf forged a new knife (Ushiwakamarunishiki) with the remains of the minotaur's horn. As it was forged by a blacksmith with the forging skill it was actually quite strong. Bell used both minotaur's knife for the War Game.
-Mikoto didnt blocked or dodged all the attacks, she was actually injured and almost got taken down several times
-They skipped the fight between Bell and some low levels from Apollo, and his conversation with Ryuu when she told him that he was the one that had to defeat Hyakhintus.
-Argonaut here was a chime, not a bell.
-Cassandra actually begged Hyakhintus way more hardly and she pushed him out of the window, otherwise he wouldnt have resisted that 1 minute charged Firebolt...
-This was the worst mistake. The fight between Bell and Hyakhintus was longer, Bell used hit and run tactics while the pervert barely managed to block his attacks because of the speed difference, but he did blocked them. They skipped all this in the anime.
-They skipped the conversation between Hestia and Hermes where Hestia explained that Bell stats after beating the minotaur were all SS and SSS.
-The new minotaur knife was the one capable of breaking Hyakhintus's sword, but this one doesnt exist on the anime...
-The battle kept going, where Bell was starting to get exhausted, also skipped.
-Bell actually fired a Firebolt directly to Hyakhintus when he started casting his magic, injuring him greatly. Cassandra stops Bell after this.

Anyway, this was just bad. They actually skipped 2/3 of the Bell vs Hyakhintus plus the other mistakes or things skipped. Thanks again JC Staff, i really hope they dont plan to adapt V8, because if they do Ishtar's arc will be a disaster considering how long it is.


I had a feeling they had to skip some stuff / cut some content in order to wrap this up in a single episode, but I thought it would only be minor stuff. Knowing they cut so much content that was actually important plot points actually makes me mad. But then again, this is J.C. Staff we're talking about, the only expectations you can have when it comes to them are negative ones ¬_¬

Also it's a bit weird that Hestia now has everything Apollo had but I guess that's what he gets for being a dumbass?

So, the shape shifters shifting shape so she can sabotage Apollo's familia, now I'm wondering what drawbacks there are to shapeshifting since she transformed into luan... or is it more a case of the weakest link.
I was wondering how they'd stretch this episode out, I, personally, can't have seen this go on for 2-3 episodes so, in okay with it -although, it was a let down for all the attention in garnered in Orario... it felt like it'd be a day of festivities. But it wasn't.

It seems as though Apollo is heading to brecon be the big bad villain.

P.S.
Futsunomita is a beautiful move
