19:32 What's up with this moment? I looked on various sites and it's the same everywhere. I wonder if it was the same in the Japanese broadcast.

The only explanation I can think of is, Mary offered Claire, her help in saving her "Kidnapped" brother, and Claire just told her to mind her own business. Mary's expression being "WTF is wrong with this bitch". Hence the music just cut off abruptly in an attempt of a deadpan.

@Babla11001 Yes, I'm talking about her.
@V1P3R0P Yeah, this must be the case but it still really looks like an error to me.

It could be. Who knows? There were such minor errors in season 1 as well if I remember correctly. Wonder if they were fixed in the BD releases.

I love how they keep reusing this frame with the glowing eye lol

Btw Yukime talks in a really archaic Japanese like a geisha (same as Shalltear in Overlord)
The OP is growing on me. Still waiting for the girl from episode 1 to show up again.
Yuri! Nice. I already guessed that Mary is a vampire herself so this isn't a surprise.
19:32 What's up with this moment? I looked on various sites and it's the same everywhere. I wonder if it was the same in the Japanese broadcast.
How did they get paintings from our world? Or is this just more Shadow Garden shenanigans?

Wait... what? I guess the final boss is dead now lol. I don't mind how they keep reusing scenes, makes it seem like Cid is repeating the moves he thinks are badass.
I guess the EDs will be sang by different Shadow Garden members this time too. This one was Lambda (she was with Rose when she first joined SG at the end of Season 1)
@Embient you mean akane?she should be in S3.

They did the "music stops meme" lmao. I also dont think thats how you are supposed to drink blood but I wont complain.

I hate how I cant just binge the rest of the season in one night this time around.

Also no boss fight this time around I assume?

UOOOOOH we are so close to getting Elisabeth. So hype for next week’s climax and my bratty vampire queen 😭

As usual they’ve cut out some monologue and what not, but you’re always gonna lose that in these LN adaptations. As far as the action and comedy, it’s hit very well. Good job by Nexus of bringing it to life.

Love how Clare cuts such a cute moment with she and Mary short by telling her to mind her own business 😂

“Just like Epsilon pads her chest, I’ll pad my slime with coins” lmaooo. Cid was as good as ever today. Showing up just in the nick of time to save Mary and Clare and his overdramatic entrances never disappoint. Most unserious MC.

Can’t wait for next week’s climax of this volume

@EcchiGodMamster

Im not sure. The intro to the show was disjointed from my pov as he started out crow bar batting some marine trained dude, but at that point I think he had already iseka and that was flash back. The whole intro to the show was kind of confusing which world was real or what was going on, so I just sipped some vodka and rolled with it :)

Skel Etal really turned into a ghoul. Can't wait for him to turn into an actual skeleton. Cid's entrance at the top of the tower was pretty gnarly

@Ionliosite2 humor is subjective, but perhaps it's not funny to you because you never had chuunibyou / edgelord phase

I think Shadow just totally killed the "boss" too fast that no one got to "see him in action" like he imagined it (what he was thinking aloud while he was raiding the treasury)

Also, can't believe he just went "oh did I see my sister just now. EH she'll be fine" or something?
LMAO.....he didn't even realize he just rescued his sister when he kicked the Black Tower guy out? lol? Talk about intense concentration with delivering his lines and being all cool hahaha

EDIT: Honestly though....I hope he stops repeating those lines next ep....his line delivery is getting boringly predictable...

God I love how stupid fun this show can be! Got some backstory to better understand the sister, the backstory of the vampire stuff as well as the Mary, then another subversion of the trope. Not sure how many more episodes the vampire arc will go on for now, I'd think if it is more than 2 then it probably being padded. I mean he just beheaded the bad guy and interrupted the ritual or whatever. Probably fight the bad guy, Juggernaut guy, and somehow let the ritual finish so he can fight Mary, and Blood Queen then resolve things with his sister and the rest of Shadow Garden and we are ready for the next arc.

It would be genuinely funny if Shadow just nuked this arc from starting and Crimson isn't a thing.

So the implication from Beta is that Cid cured Claire of being possessed right?

So next episode is already the climax of this arc, and then I expect the rest of the season to cover just the next arc.

It was good seeing Rose again, though she doesn't do much in this arc.
@MadanielFL I thought that was Rose. Doesn´t Claire know who she is? I thought it was weird she didn´t recognized her. But again. no one seems to notice that Shadow is Cid, so...

I wish I could get as hype as everyone else seems to be about this show but other than being a "parody" it's pretty much the same run of the mill "I can do anything and no one can stop me and my tseudo harem" shenanigans

I guess there's the chuni gimmick, but I honestly still think it's lame lol

@EcchiGodMamster Hahaha, indeed, I just enjoy mad shit where I can. One of my favs this season is the kenshin redo as well. Im a person of simple tastes. Action and kick ass sceens with a medorice of plot. Takes me back to my teenage years when everything was kick ass and chew bubble gum ;) Although we do stil get some good shows these days

It absolutely baffles me how this show is so highly rated. It takes every anime trope to an extreme- absurdly overpowered MC, ridiculous harem of over 600 girls, pointless fanservice shots, needlessly cryptic voicelines, and somehow it's ranked in the top 50? I get it's supposed to be satire but it's so hilariously bad that being satire is barely an excuse. There's a difference between not taking itself seriously and just having extremely lazy writing. I guess it just continues to show that MAL ratings are pointless and MAL users don't know good shows from utter garbage.

@coreynj You reminded me of the period of when more than half of mal top 10 were gintama and the mass butthurt it caused. Comedy is subjective and Eminence in Shadow particularly appeal to very specific niche and it does very successfully considering on how it became one of Kadokawa biggest IP.

basically, different strokes for different folks

@Roch2001

actually not watching the Kenshin reboot as its not a show i would watch nowadays

obviously back when it was on Toonami we didn't really have a choice, but now that i can choose what i want to watch and when i want to watch it, i tend to avoid anime full of dudes lol

its gonna be the same with the new Kinnikumon... yea i watched Ultimate Muscle as a kid and yes, i DID love it, but theres no way i'd watch a show like that now lol

girls, ass, titties, fighting, those are all my favorites lol


if this show had some sexy ass bad girls then i'd defintiely get hype, but its your typical horde of dumb ass dudes, which is a turn off lol
