Definitely felt something suspicious was going on in that village. It's hard to really trust any of the knights in this show.

It seems this anime has dark secrets hidden where you'd least expect them. Ye, this episode got dark fast with those people suffering underground. I feel like this show is trying to convey us that it's a cruel world to be in.

I love the ED song so much. Definitely one of the best of the year, shame not many people will hear it.

Didier being a bad guy has been foreshadowed for a while now, finally got it revealed today.

Alfred is slowly picking up his knighty frame, and for the better.

A not-so ghastly deserted Cocon Village that used to be a medicinal herb hub, definitely a rat as Deflotte has instigated. As expected when the Ecclesiastical Order Orthodox Church starts to be involved, there are outliers to that, and in the bad sense.

Another new character shows up: the former priest Adel, and like Deflotte, didn't do his job well in the undead Petale Village.

It's one thing to fear the Orthodox Church, and it's another when you're royalty...and Alfred's point makes it all very clear when there's no justice towards the oppressed.

NGL, the scene of the church's basement housing the plagued was as creepy and bad. For Deflotte to go against a human-experimented Zangief look-alike, it'd make the situation look more grim than Alfred showing up, but order has to be done to get rid of infidels.

At this point, the conflict between the Orthodox Church and Alfred and Co., what a dilemma. With Marius's true identity revealed, it's now or never to set things right.

After this episode, I really wish the Orthodox Church and those Ecclesiastical knights to annihilate soon.

The preview for next episode scares me. Didler showing up out of nowhere. I honestly wonder how they will defeat the church... The look really weak.

Things are not looking good for Alfred and his group and now they treated Marius as the witch. The Church is messed up. The sooner they are defeated the better.

Really don’t understand the low rating for this show. I mean, it’s not top tier, but I think it deserves better than the current rating. Glad I don’t take MAL ratings too seriously!
This ep seems to be the start of some major changes, with the princess’s reveal. I do find it a little hard to believe that in all the years they were together, Alfred never figured out she was a girl, lol.

Can someone explain this to me?
They told princess to change identity and pretend to be a boy in order to hide and protect her.
And then they gave her s sword and told to fight.

How the hell does that makes sense?

Very true that ed slaps, in my playlist for now.

The show it does not feel mediocre to me, it is a good show, story is getting deeper with every episode, and the sound was good, excited to see where this goes

Wow just wow! Finally Marius revealed her true identity by taking those hard path. I thought for some reason, Deflotte might sacrificed himself. But, nope. They took some extreme way, revealing all of those hard camouflage. Poor Maru, and, Nonoria. She should've join the despair there.

The whole disease village investigation just a mere plot device. The character motivation suddenly got an instant boost, and by any chance Didier kept his trait as a mere jerk. Thats good, everything come in one piece. Now, before its too late, lets kick some corrupted knight ass, Alfred!

They made her Alfred's squire to further help with the disguise.

Yeah, but how telling her to fight is supposed to keep her safe?

She's a squire. She fights to keep that guise. By keeping that guise, it's keeping her safe.

Damn bitchass cliffhanger. Wasn't expecting them to reveal Marius's true identity this episode, but I really liked it. This was a good episode. Alfred has finally stepped up and found his conviction. It was pretty obvious the Pope and Didier were doing something shady but for what reason though. Looking forward to the next episode.

I think in the next couple episodes we will see Alfred's death. it's Hinted HEAVILY during the opening so with the Princess' return we might see her take over Alfred's role. But we will see.

It´s not a bad anime but it's too slow. It should have been a 6 ep anime

They didn't tell her to actively fight all the battles that we saw, her ''camouflage'' worked before the rebels, the opposite empire and the church ramped up their hostilities.

Princes Witch Marius is going to get killed for suspected witchcraft be take away for being suspected to be the missing Princess lol

Nice timing for the reveal moment 😎

That witch reference is way too in line with that situation in a medieval contest xD

If you don't appreciate art , anime aren't for you , there is nothing wrong in them , nothing is perfect !

If you criticize Anime you should release your reviews directly to people and authors that made em !

Anime will not get any better if reviews do not get outside the borders of this website , change this !

Very true, @GregHill. Ah, @_Jougo_ took the point I was going to make: She even has earrings!

She has a female face - female shape, female eyes, everything. She has female hair, she wears earrings. She has a female voice. She will have a female level of strength, meaning at the level of the weakest men. She has a female body - breasts though covered up, waistline, hands, legs, and hips that will give her a female walk as well. There is no way a woman can successfully pull off looking like a man for years. I hope they will show in the next episode that Albert knew she was a woman all along.

In all these years he has never seen a trace of stubble on her cheeks, not even when they are traveling in rough terrain without bathrooms.

I like the idea for the show, but some things... That doctor was outright cartoonish. I mean, as in daytime weekend cartoons for kids. The evil face complete with the gautee and a German-sounding name. Ach ja, ich bin Dr. GRAAF, from my hidden laboratory in Castle Darkmoorstadt.

The priest in the village - why was he wearing such pristine clothes? He looked like he came straight from the Sunday sermon. If he is an ex-priest in a nearly abandoned village, I assume he has taken up farming. He should be dressed in farm clothes.

Like I said, I like the idea but not how it's carried out. The ex-priest and the doctor could have been done much better. And they could have given hints that Albert knew Marius was the princess all along - I really hope that will turn out to be true.

This anime (especially episode 7) is exposing about korona and it's PLANdemic..

"They" are giving you a "clue"..
Yet, you might not understand 🥱

Absolutely one of a conspiracy anime..

black knight dude called her the plague witch? was that just his false pretense for holding her captive? or does she actually have some sort of ability?

and i have to repeat, the whole premise of her hiding as a boy with one of the highest ranking royal knights is too blatantly obvious for me to think NOBODY pieced things together before now
