Kazuhiho being able to figure out this early how to travel to Japan and back is a blessing.

However, this episode isn't just about traveling but also finding including those magic stones. All things aside, it's really sweeting seeing him and Marie getting along so well regardless what world they're in.

Kazuhiro and Marie are just cute together. Really enjoyed how chill this episode was with them going on a adventure to find magical stones.

Ah Mariabelle is so pretty I love her sm. I can’t get enough of her design or she and Kazuhiho being wholesome. I like how they’re alternating adventures in the fantasy world and Marie learning Japanese language and culture in the real world. Where’s dragon waifu from last ep tho? She would’ve been a great help on their magic stone quest today, especially with the monster the bandits unleashed.

It’s kinda cheese how they can basically rage quit on the fantasy world mid fight and come back later lol. But hey if you can do it why not.

I can’t wait to see them going out and having fun on a weekend. Fantasy world stuff is cool, but the show really shines with Marie getting all excited about modern conveniences. Such a chill and wholesome show

So everytime they "die", they just come back to Japan, that's really convenient lol

Not sure what other adventures are await them, can't wait to find out.

Marie is so cute and her spirit is also cute. Food propaganda really strong making it look even better with Marie eating. Needed more drunk Marie time.

Kazuhiho skill very handy indeed, he is strong enough aswell for how laidback he is. Monster animation is bleh.. but who cares if they can animate Marie this beautifully🫡

"I care about not being a dried up husk than magic stones"
Pretty much...

Respawn by dying is quite handy and very convenient saved their ass here. Both of them getting more closer too. Love them so much. Marie is really interested in Japan so very sure she won't leave anytime soon, but can see why Kazuhiko gets worried.

"But I still can;t get used to the sight of an Elf in my apartment."
I have had not problem becoming accustomed to half beautiful EILFs in my Evil Overlord's harems and chambers.

Less that half a glass of wine )as shown by the levels left in the bottle and her glass) and she is crocked. Lightweight indeed.

"Yes since it's you, I suppose I wouldn't mind showing them."
I am intrigued.

So he actually was aware of the bandits the entire time they were in the ruins? It's funny how much thos resemble the lost ( now found!) city of Petra in Jordan. Even in a slot Canyon. Though these dwellings were a bit more generic. And there is no Oasis in the city.
But these ruins harbor some seriously dangerous reptiles, they both ended up back in Japan after that Serpent ( or Hydra???) attacked them. If they can get the Beast child on their side next time they return, they should be able to defeat these guys. Only the Boss seems like a threat.

@itomaua Ditto. I do love that World, but I love seeing Maribelle learning about Japan & enjoying our World.

@LaczPro19 Actually that character you pointed out in your spoiler text is the other gender. Don’t really blame you tho cause you can’t really tell visually.

I really like that the characters move between worlds and the anime doesn't focus on just one and wait for Wridra to move to them already.

Overall a good episode, still there's definitely been some changes/cuts compared to the manga version. It seems a bit toned down on the comedy portions, and many scenes were slightly modified in how they played out although generally conveying the same meaning as the manga. Could just be because they are using the original LN as the source not the manga so maybe it's actually the manga that's the different one. Either way the directing and animation definitely seems a tad worse this episode compared to the first 2. It's a shame they basically removed the facial expressions from the trayn part of the episode, really killed the vibe the manga had.

Either way not bad still, though I dislike a few of the differences from the manga it's similar enough on the whole and many of the differences are a non issue so far.

I'd like to see more Japan in this show called "Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf"...

I just don't care that much about this empty, bland fantasy world. Now with video game leveling and skills, too, which aren't exactly great additions to the story.

Animation is falling apart, too. Losing interest...

These two are so close... they should just get it on already, and make their vows to each other. 😤

Btw, still having the isekai world-building was rather nice. Now, I really want to read the source!!! 🤤

P.S. The treasures they acquired, I wonder where it is?
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.

Did whoever is subtitling this for Crunchyroll confuse 2000 and 20000?

Little odd hearing Marie speaking Japanese while she's learning Japanese. I guess constructing an "elvish" conlang would just suck up all the attention.

Not great that Kazuhiro was being less than entirely up front from the start about his suspicions that they were not alone at the ruins.

Kazuhiro has some sharp eyes to see the beast-child's face from that distance. I thought good farsight was usually the elf's trait.

@itomaua Seriously. They're cute together in Japan, but the isekai parts are so generic. Oh wow~ how original and clever to pick a non-combat skill like long range teleportation. Who could possibly ever think that was useful? Good bits aren't good enough to sit through that.

This is definitely one of the better isekai of the season. It's a slice of life, so we don’t have to deal with the anxiety of waiting for the protagonist to be an overpowered hero, get 20 girls pregnant, solo some arrogant fake hero, or humiliate a demon lord. It's just about the day-to-day stuff. The focus here is on his friendship with the elf. There's a slight hint of romance, but I feel like it’s just going to drag on like this until the end.

This shows not bad. I like how they now share the experience of going back and forth. I'd like to see a show one day with that same dynamic, but with the tension 1st being that for both of them, they've been treating the other's world like a dream (so not very seriously) and 2nd being that their "primary" lives are in the opposite worlds. The Earthling has to work when the Otherworlder relaxes at home, and the Otherworlder has to complete quests or move up in the guild while the Earthling moves on. Obviously, it would be a different tone and genre from this show, but I like this show just how it is too.

Mariabelle explaining why she is learning Japanese while speaking perfect Japanese sounds unusual. Lol, no Marie shows us that she is actually a Pokemon trainer, lol.
