Welp, it looks like Kuumi is more confident in using her powers against the beasts now. She's obviously a valuable asset to the team but the fights themselves felt...idk underwhelming. They should also be prepared better if supplies are going to be a problem.

This was the weakest episode imo so far, felt like not much happened.

I think I would have already dropped this show if it were not for Myaa and her neko. I always get so many cute screenshots of those two, lol.

And now we even got a cute puppy, haha.

Nice looking place. I wish I could live there.

Poor Myaa and nyanko getting teased by the kids. x3

After seeing the dog chapeau, I hope for a farm episode and the chapeau have a chicken or duck on the head.

Is kinda meaningless if so many can say that they are Paladin, like the difference between one Paladin with a Cleric, and one without, is abyssal. Tone down and call a knight, those without.

Next episode bunny girl.

Looks like all chapeaus are just clone bodies controlled by brain sl... pets ))).

And next episode or maybe a bit later the team will be completed.

I really like what I've seen so far but this episode was really weak. And is it just me, or has the quality gone down since the first episode? Myaa is cute, though.

I'm on board with all of this, that place looks fantastic and the meow and now doggy-inflected languages are ridiculously endearing enough for me to stick around to see where this goes. 

The pace was just a little stilted in this one. I could have gone for some more resolution, but what're ya gonna do? Tune in next week to find out.

We get a little bit of world building in this episode as we are introduced to another cheapeau with a dog on its head. While resting at the village they encounter a monster with red eyes that was tough to beat so Jiro had no choice but to use Kuumi to take it down. Melan becomes a new member of the team after Jiro saved his life.

Ok three eps in and I don't mind the slower pacing, don't even mind the redshirts (straps) Kiris and Guun and their take on the world building.
I hope they to take the time to show this world and not make the mistake that many original series have.

maybe i need to watch it again but it felt like the only interesting thing to happen was meeting character with a dog on their head. i like the premise, world seems cool, but it doesn't seem to be going in any actual direction here. felt meandering.

In the opening you can already see some of the other variations: chicken, bear, cow, lion, shark and some crab thing.

Well, a couple important things did happen but it's true that this episode's direction felt very sluggish.

Beasts of Ars continues its solid progress. One reviewer said it had a "lived-in world". I agree. For me the main reason is that all the characters talk and react like people that live in that world. From the incidental "people" that MCs meet right through the "evil" subordinates.

Jiro, Kumi and Myaa on the route of escape, encounters a Therianthrope village, with Myaa now having dog puns from another Chapeau.

Of all the children to look out for, the mind-reading uncommon female Tillie's the one that needs supervision in a world that sees giant beasts ravaging by the minute, and those with red-eyes need the expertise of Clerics and Paladins, something that Therianthropes like Melan the Hasty just couldn't fend against and is confidential business to all.

In all of the "Hasty"-ness to get out of the Therianthrope village, Melan joins the group to repay his favour from Jiro back.

A bit of a slow episode, but it's growing also.

The animation have finally regressed to Studio Asahi's typical quality, it was inevitable. This will remain as a 2 episode wonder.

Some problems caused by the writer not knowing much about hunting or weapons but a great episode overall. 
1. Degan cannot really teach Melan. His sword is used for choping and stabbing (a broad sword). Melan's sword is better at draw cuts. Also although it can stab it is a weird way of stabing. About choping asuming the blade has at least a false edge (seems to be a standard double edged yatagan) you could reverse it and use it as a scythe. incidently it is also how you would stab with it over shield
2. Swords are not good against animals generally and you would only attack frontally big beasts as a last reasort. Using traps (most common would be a simple masked pit) or arrows isthe best choice for big animals and animals in general. Traps have the advantage that no matter how big or strong the animal a good trap will cause its downfall

Decent episode, we got more cat puns and got introduced to a character that looks just like Myaa except with a dog on her head.

Looks like Meran is now in the group and the preview shows the final character possibly joining. Hopefully the action picks up in the next episode.

the soldiers are worried about their futures after all the problems they had last episode with the main girl lol

that strange place with waterfalls on each side looks cool, but it also means they will need to camp and wait, and find food ...
Kuumi looking at the cat with second intentions but quickly gave up haha

entering a village of animal people, there appears another Mya... or should i call her Wan?
guess they got the place to stay for the night, as long as Jiiru works a bit :D

as soon as intros were done, the little kids jumped on top of them, what a cute scene

why does everyone have some strange names? lol
"Kumi the 22nd" "Jiro the already dead" "Melan the hasty" etc

after hunting that strange elephant, a bigger one with red eyes appeared, is it time for Jiro/Kummi to do something?

the little Tillan is a special girl, apparently animal girls are kinda rare and she can also feel people's heart
ofc the guy who went to look for her, now is being chased by the red eyes, rip

Jiro saves him and tells him to run, but as usual, they always stick around to watch LOL
no way out but to transform, that elephant is dead now
this is also a nice service to that Melan guy, seeing his dream job, paladin, up close
pfft it only took 1 hit, yawn :D
you better not say anything or he will hunt you down haha
ofc the other people knew what happened and sent him to repay his favor (i wonder what he can do), will Jiro accept him? he did indeed lol also ended up going back to the village since they had no way to leave yet... hopefully nothing else happens because of it, the knight(?) lady already knows about it

next episode preview doesn't sound very good either, but with it, we will meet the last main character

the story and the characters are bland. Even if the episode wasn't boring to watch, and its probably one of the best, it's still not very good. The only positive points are that the story is progressing well and that certain characters like Jiiro or even Meran that we only have this episode are endearing.

I LOVED this episode. The Animal lolis are the coolest fantasy species I've seen in a long long long time they are so expressive and interesting and cool. The cat on the head! The puppy on the other girls head! The teaser in the OP with like 8 different baby animals on top of the loli's heads. Its just GREAT. This is a really fun world to explore with the characters so far Im really enjoying it.

Eugh... not the best episode here. I nearly rolled my eyes at the whole small girl being missing fiasco. Also, dang this sure is some cheap animation. Still, there were some cute parts like with the kids playing and such. Like oddly I feel like I like the characters, it's just the plot is kinda meh so far for me.

BTW, save the Elephants people.

Real Life Elephants are dying off due to poachers and more than 50% of elephants world wide already lost their Tusks due to mutations as Poachers doesn't kill Elephants without Tusks leaving them the only ones to reproduce and pass on the mutation without Tusks. (problems being that Elephants needs those Tusks to survive in the wild, without them they have less chance of survival against the elements and predators)

Maybe this is the reason why "land beasts" attacks humans, lol

Imagine if RL animals were to retaliate against being hunted.

___ ___ ___


Tho it looks like the "red eyes" are the ones that's actively attacking Humans, the other Beasts are just doing self-defense from being killed.

Not really sure what to say about this episode, but the fight scene was so bad. No climax or anything
