Welp, this got more complicated after they got seperated underground. Among the discoveries of the lab, there's also other secrets down there.

Arc's overheal spell is quite something. Arc, Ariane, and her sister worked well as a team. I'm glad that Eevin wasn't just a one time character so hopefully she'll show up even more.

Yet another meh episode with more slave conflict. Hopefully we finally get to the curse-breaking hot springs after this. That has felt like the main objective since the beginning of the season, yet the group keeps getting sidetracked.

The actions Yakof took to enrich his master with that vein were absolutely vile. The Mega Golem crushing him as it fell made for a fitting end.

Eevin splitting with the group and going on her own way made for a satisfying conclusion of this storyline. But I have to wonder what type of training she plans to undergo to keep up with Arc?

The animation during the fight sequence looks a bit pale but anyways i am glad to see that the animation quality has been improved a bit.
Arc and Co have to take another detour for sure. Excited for more adventure lore

I think this is where I am done. It's been physically painful to watch this 5 weeks in a row and while next week we finally get some light novel content, seeing how we already get to hot spring and dragon, which is middle of vol4, basically skipping the first part of vol4, already made me lose all motivation of watching this any further.
I really don't get the point of these 5 anime original episodes. I wouldnt have cared this much if this wasnt my favorite novel, but at this point, I'd rather release myself from this suffering. Have fun to everyone else sticking with this.
Adaptations like this is why isekais have a bad rep.

Also extremely disappointed in Thanatos's voice this episode

I’d like to ask manga readers if this season is staying faithful to the source material or if it’s just filler, because honestly, it feels pretty weak and boring compared to the first season. To be frank, if this were the first season, I would have dropped it by now; I’m only watching it because I liked the first one and I’m hoping it becomes fun again.

They've absolutely squandered this show.

--The fight dynamics are atrocious. Arc could've Dimension Move-d behind the husband and cut him down many times, but instead let the husband be. He even Dimension Move-d behind them to take out the guards πŸ˜‘
--Stealth. They are regularly "infiltrating" places, then proceed to talk and laugh at regular volume and SHOUT technique names.
--Enemies. The force does not match the criminals. They meet the worst criminals, people who gleefully traffic people and relish at the thought of assaulting their victims, and treat them like minor shoplifters. They don't need to brutally maim and destroy the criminals, but the juxtaposition of lighthearted treatment of criminals against heinous acts is jarring with each encounter.

This season has frustrated me almost every episode, particularly since the potential is so high yet they fumble every time.

It's foolish of me to watch with any other expectations πŸ˜’

@Hirugiku Ahh, learning these are anime original has definitely given me a better perspective of the state of the show. It's been a pretty terrible season thus far.

Arc should have used Wyvern Slash in the tunnel.

"OVERHEAL"
Well that's handy.

Two spell-swords, one spell ninja, and one Spell-sword cum holy-knight cum mystic wizard loaded with mythic gear, and a fluuf fox. A fearsome party.

Lord Thanatos, there's a clue.

I hope I'm wrong, but this felt like poor-man's version of the Tagent storyline we should be enjoying instead. Although Charros was mentioned, so maybe we really will go to Tagent. But in that case why are we doing these anime original episodes? All of this (unded, the Hilk name drop, the fact that elves/beastmen can sense undead) could (and should) have been in the Tagent storyline and it would be way better.

Chiyome has to do a pretty difficult decision in Tagent, so I hope they won't skip it.

Next episode the Dragon's Spring finally, that should have been the start of the season...

CHIYOME! I was wondering where you'd gone

Looks like Leeza had the last say, if you ask me πŸ˜‚

Thanatos. So that's his name. Definitely doesn't remind me of Thanos πŸ˜† though the threat he possesses seems quite equal. I am excited to see where this leads

  • That wasn't a good start of their exploration and of course they got separated deep underground and we finally get to see Chiyome who is also coincidentally investigating the sanctuary.
  • Yakof got what he deserved, getting crushed by his own mega golem probably controlled by his vengeful wife at the end. RIP.
  • Hold up, is that Morpheus watching the whole thing go down? XD
  • Farewell Eevin. We now got one less big boobs to enjoy πŸ˜”
  • Docking from 7 to 6, the constant slavery/kidnapping storyline variations are frustrating and apparently they aren't even following the source material.

It doesn't matter because I'm reading subtitles, but the music was weirdly loud compared to the dialogue at points in this, and also suddenly like did not match the vibe of the scene 😭

Also a new Lord Thanatos has appeared!

I feel like the post-credits Ponta photos are my favourite bit of each episode πŸ˜…

A wild Chiyome appeared! I did think it was weird she disappeared kinda randomly, nice to have her back and at a pivotal moment too. And wow this Yakof guy is a true blue asshole, very evil dude who didn’t have a single shred of remorse for his actions, well I’m glad poor Leeza got revenge from beyond the grave when she somehow fused with the golem. And speaking of the golem, the fight with it was alright, Arc and Ariane put in the work and trapped it in the mine before blowing it up with that ignitable fuel, although I will add that it was kinda funny how they animated the golem setting the sanctuary on fire, it shows the golem firing a beam at it and all the sudden the whole house is on fire lol.

There was also the bit with the reveal of the undead experimentation, pretty messed up stuff and I feel bad for Ariane and Eevin having to put them down, but thankfully this operation has been dealt with now, although Yakof’s “master” with the shades is still at large, maybe the gang will get their chance to fight him sometime later. And we were teased on some new enemy faction led by a guy named Thanatos, same name as the Greek figure that’s the personification of death huh, well I hope this guy can back up his name. And with this situation wrapped up, it’s time to say goodbye to Eevin and hello to the curse-breaking spring that apparently the season should have opened with if we were following the LN, well it’s unfortunate that it took this long to get here but I’m excited to see what goes down there.

Makes no sense they would inject so much filler, going off the first seasons coverage of source materials theres plenty to fill at the very least 1 more season if not close to two. There's literally no viable reason for this much awful filler content, especially if it's just going to kill off any chance of a 3rd season 🀷 if anything this will serve as a prime example of how to kill a series lol.

@TheColonel76 Chiyome is needed for hot springs visit. In the novel, Ariane's mother suggested to invite her. Here, since they totally butchered the events in the story, she wasn't really needed in this episode, but since she is needed in the next episode, they decided to randomly summon her. They are garbage at their job, that's why it felt so unnatural.

This undead experimentation is anime original btw.

For an isekai, they were already taking too long for the classic "the church is the villain" arc xD But god that guy was fucking awful. I thought that maybe he got greedy after marrying Leeza or that a third party was manipulating him... THAT BITCH'S MAIN PURPOSE WAS TO KILL EVERYONE, EVEN BEFORE REACHING THE VILLAGE! Glad he got what he deserved!

To be honest I was hoping Arc would use a summon during the golem fight. It feels like a spell Arc will use once and completely forget he has available ever again.

@Hirugiku That makes more sense now, I mean it’s not that crazy to think that Chiyome’s ninja clan would hear of this situation too so I think the explanation for having her show up isn’t a bad one, but thanks for explaining what it was supposed to be like.

And ah another anime original thing, I guess that checks out since this plot line is original already.

wait, they actually introduced palurumo despite the fact these 5 episodes have stolen what should have been the final 5 episoes againt him XD wtf why?
we're ending the season with Tagent aren't we cause the ending theme with Chiyome heavily implies it. could have just left Palurumo in the shadows cause no way are we ever getting season 3 now to actually deal with him.

Can't believe how badly they've wasted this season
episodes 1 and 2 should have been the spring, 3-8 Tagent and 9-12 Palurumo, it really wasnt that difficult to map out.

Nice how they used Arc's cave in incident from the start of the episode to help them defeat the MEGA GOLEM at the end of the episode, I was like "surely they can't make Arc that stupid for no reason"....actually.

Gotta say though this show has some of the more evil minor villains I have seen, like this guy killed his wife's entire village and then her just so he could use their mine. Thankful in death the kind wife was able to get her revenge on that monster.

Also gotta say the magic where Ariane used to just turn the undead into dust was pretty cool ( •Μ€ ω •́ )y

Decent episode, albeit a bit confusing. I was told Arc transforms back into his human form multiple times throughout the series, albeit not often. But if his body is now resistant to the lake's effects, does he transform through other methods?

What kind of stupid episode is this? Arc could have teleported behind the guy and killed him any time, but he never did.

The studio that is making this anime is totally inept, and they don't even care to shove this much bullshit in our faces. I guess they think everyone is dumb so no one will pay attention to the story anyway.
I despise woke people.
