Haha the princess found out that Pii-chan can talk.

The Ohgen army has been wiped out in one night and nobody else knew who did it. x)

Sasaki, the Viscount and the Prince were struggling in fighting against the massive elite Orc, but Pii-chan arrives just in time to save them. That golem was too OP for the elite orc. The Viscount survives.

Now the Viscount and the Prince has discovered that Pii-chan is the Starsage but his identity will be kept a secret. Good for them. And it's also great that the Viscount's two sons are alive. The suspicious butler has been captured.

That ED looks really bizarre though. I think I can get used to it.

Well it looks like the war is changing with one army being wiped out still that demon was unexpected.
It's nice that things are solved somehow and they even dealt with a plot and found a traitor.
Seems Elsa was also saved which is nice.

And Pii chan showed his identity.

Great to see that Elsa was saved and that her brothers and father also survived I loved how pii-chan accidently spoke in front of Elsa

The demon capable to fight Peeps head on and seemed to have the upper hand, but Peeps won at the end. Or did he?

Well, there was so many good twists in this episode, where to start?
First, we meet (very briefly) a witch/magician of some sort apparently working for the other side and seemingly as skilled as the starsage.
Then, and that's probably the biggest twist in the episode, we learn that Muller is actuallt not dead (I was glad about that).
I was also suprised when Pii-chan decided to reveal his true nature to Muller, but it was an emotional moment for sure :)
Finally, his two sons that we thought dead/injured are actually completely fine, and it was all a big ploy to trap the traitor butler.

During all this, we got to see Sasaki using magic a lot, and gotta say: he's became pretty good at it at this point!
Last but not least, Elsa was pretty adorable in this episode :)

Overall, a really good episode, which concludes the first arc of the story (in the fantasy world at least).

Ah so our fears about the butler were justified. To the people of this world tech and food from Sasaki's must seem like they're from heaven. With the frontlines having fallen now is the best time to evac. Guess it would make sense that the enemy would also have mages. The fight against the elite orc sure was fun. It getting a taste of its own medicine via the golem was pretty fun to watch. Given their situation coming clean with the prince and the viscount was the best move. The butler must be screaming in frustration at seeing his plans come to ruin thanks to Sasaki turning the tide.

Princess Elsa's hiding with Sasaki and Peeps, though the latter is OK with her petting him. But other than a close call while petting Peeps and realizing that he can talk, learning that the Muller Family's sons have lost their lives in battle, she is the only one left to succeed her own House...in title only, by abandoning the very land that she is raised in. Peeps wanting to change the tides of war, they still have to eliminate their enemies in one fell swoop, like the Ohgen Empire. The consequence, however, is a demon girl targeting Peeps, which they the engage in a rather heated battle. Sasaki finding Viscount Muller with one with another person: the Herz Kingdom's 2nd prince Adonis, they need to retreat to a safe haven, which Sasaki leads the charge with his magic, with both Viscount and Prince taking down a horde of orcs.

Peeps coming back safely to deal with the elite orc by creating a golem, he does it so easily. Of course, Viscount Muller would suffice that Peeps is the starsage, which he confirms on the spot with both Julius and Adonis. This remains a well-kept secret with the least of troubles, even with the brothers Kai and Maximillian having to fake their deaths as the Viscount had confirmed with his plan to rout out the assailants that would harm the Muller Family in time to come, such as Elsa's marriage to the Dietrich Family.

At the very least, this was a rather methodically executed plan. What would come next?

Is it just me, or was this episode pretty bad? Animation was really weak, with a lot of stills. And that camp destruction? So underwhelming wtf. Story itself felt a bit off too with how everything just fell in line so quickly. All of this is especially noticeable after all previous episodes being so good.

I remain by my opinion that the real world is more interesting to follow with better characters than this fantasy world. It tries, but the story surrounding the organization and the psychic powers are more convincing to me.

WAIT, Müller survived????? Wow what a twist. Kinda glad honestly. I really wanted he and Pii to get a chance to meet again and they got that so I’m feeling content with the reveals today. Really emotional

Elsa clearly wasn’t ready for a leadership position and with the state of her brothers, the domain would’ve fallen into chaos. Having a leader and having now removed the traitor butler from their midst will be a nice improvement going forward

Speaking of Elsa, pretty funny that Pii revealed himself to she and her dad today. Albeit it was an accident when he talked in front of her. She was really cute in this episode and it’s a good thing she doesn’t have to get married off now.

Golem fight was pretty cool. Seeing how far Sasaki’s magic has come was dope. I also liked the fight between Pii and the demon.

Missed Hoshizaki in this one, but the fantasy world stuff was well done today. Still no answers about that mahou shoujo they teased a couple episodes ago lol

Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen?



Geez wiz, finding the Vizcount that faked his death out in the open fields in the middle of nowhere after a mortal mage duel is less beliveable than an Aurora Borealis in anyone's kitchen.

I enjoyed this episode. Viscount Muller's return and Pi-chan demonstrating his powers and interacting with all the characters, ultimately uncovering the evil plans laid by the Butler and Count Dietrich, made me really happy. I'm glad to see that the characters are not dying for unreasonable reasons. Looking forward to their future developments.

Holy shit, he's alive! Huzzah!

The butler did it after all. I hope he gets to see the gallows or guillotine.

So what happened to the demon waifu fight?

Something that's been bugging me since episode one...everything is great and all, with top-notch A-tier talent in all departments...except for the sound department. Why do the sound effects sound so ass? It's like they used stock sounds from a free dodgy site geared toward amateur youtubers. Maybe they blew their entire budget already making everything else look good and didn't leave enough for the sound.

Great episode with a twist I was not expecting.

So it turns out that the Viscount and the Prince are alive and that it was all just a plan to find out if there was a traitor in the nobility. It works and the butler gets apprehended and we'll see what happens to Count Dietrich.

I do wonder what happened to that Demon mage, she seems like she'll be an antagonist.

While the butler was obviously sus from the get-go, I wasn't expecting the asymmetric strat that the Viscount pulled to protect his family and also outwit the other nobles.

I did not see the Viscount actually being alive coming, good twist. The brothers I figured simply ran off or were captured since they didn't find bodies. The Viscount was clever in his plan to smoke out corruption and now the butler is out of the picture.

I wonder who that mysterious demon girl is and what happened between her and Peep's fight, no idea if we'll see her again.

P.S. Sasaki finally gets another admirer..😏
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Not enough substance to the war for me. After Muller's previous story, it actually seemed like Pii-chan should be indiffrent to the fate of his former kingdom, especially after Muller died for their mistake.

A mediocre episode. I wonder what will be the next story, with both Count Dietrich and Pii-chan's opponent still on the loose. Hopefully they wont rush it again.

What a mess, why was this ep so bad?! if only the animation was bad I wouldn't complain, but it's like they threw the plot out of the window in multiple twists in a row and no explanations on what happened previously

Was this done by a different director? is the writing on this part also this bad in the source material?

The first 3 episodes were pretty good with the animation, but this was just awful in some parts. For example when they were in that village that was burning down with the ogres, there were shots where most of the flames were moving but some flames in that same shot were still images. The sound effects still sound very weird too, it's not necessarily bad but it just sounds like they're missing some parts of the audio like all of the magic attacks sound a little bit strange, but story wise still looking strong and hopefully this episode is just going to be an outlier in bad animation and not something we're going to be seeing more often as the anime progresses. Still very strange that every single girl is 15-16 years old with a 40+ year old protagonist.

Damn I thought I was the only one who had a grip with the magic sounding kinda… weak? I dunno it just doesn’t have impact at all.

You’re the only other person I’ve seen talking about it.

I still enjoy this anime a lot but this episode indeed lacked budget.

Voice acting remains stellar, tho. And the protagonist carries the entire show and hard.
