IMO the story of the two sisters is the best - the greedy hiding a universal human desire to be seen, the situation in Earth becoming shitty even if they genuinely cared about each other, simply because they did not see what the other was going through.

They also picked a rather fitting ability for the onee-san: since she felt like her youth was stolen, she is able to steal the youth of the others.

Sensei calling Wolff a playboy and telling him to shut up was also funny.

Geith getting his arse kicked is cathartic, but you know what would be even better? Seeing his brother getting slapped over and over. And penniless.

Ep7 had Tama getting some character development and background; this episode was for Nir. A coward and lying but precious boy.

By default most otherworlder in this series are arseholes, so it’s nice to see another exception. And one leading to a deserved happy ending - Wolf man meeting with his friend in Earth again.

So Haga is not above “delaying” a bug report so he can benefit from the bug a wee bit more, uh.

Luu being resurrected without memories was sad, but predictable. Perhaps it’s better this way for Amano, I don’t know, so he doesn’t grow too attached to the game world.

Boss had it comin’.

Episode in a nutshell: a couple horny but clueless bakas.

At least their feelings for each other are a bit better conveyed in the animation than in the manga. In the manga some events feel out of the blue, but here it seems that it’s building up nicely.

The coliseum CG is really jarring, but on the lighter side the characters are cuter. For Seras this is a given, but Eve also got prettier, without losing badass vibes:

I’m glad that Tama didn’t leave the party, it would be damn boring without her. (And Sensei’s disdain towards Nir’s coffin-pulling skills was funny.) The mark of the divine beast felt a bit like a deus ex machina but it worked well in the end.

My sides went into orbit as the dwarf was explaining that bikini armour was just the old DM’s fetish.

I bet that the boss told Amano that Lu can be resurrected just to be left alone.

This chapter can be summarised with two words: “oh shit”.

Odds are that they’ll be able to heal Takuto and dispel Atou’s mind control. And she’ll feel extremely guilty afterwards. (Next time make sure that your cute elf-looking eldritch abominations are resistant against mind attacks!)

Oh, we’re moving into the Sweaty Feet Arc! Because, you know, fungal infections in isekai are serious business!

Okay. Serious now. I get that the author wanted to make Dahlia’s tools something mundane and relatable. Still fun to watch, and I’m glad that I picked this series up.

The episode also shows Wolf’s relationship with his older “girlfriend”; it’s clear that she isn’t romantically interested on him or vice versa, but they seem close enough. More like friends pretending to be a couple for the convenience of both. I think that “Vee” is Wolf’s mother? The fact that his pseudo-girlfriend has a portrait of her shows that they were likely close friends. (She’s nice-looking, refined, by the way. But Dahlia is still cuter.)

The runaway bird returns to the cage.

Another great episode. The “random party member with a shady background is actually royalty” plot twist was kind of obvious, but now we got to learn Tama’s actual name. Who cares, she’s still Tama.

The king seems to be manipulative, but he still cares enough for his daughter to jump into danger for her sake. It looks like overprotection from a distance.

Classical game exploit - tanking framerate on purpose so you have more time to react!

I love the way that it contrasts Übel and Land Four-Eyes thought process: one gives up thinking, another overthinks it, but they reach the same conclusion.

To be frank this episode was a bit of a letdown for me. It does explain why the Emperor wants to see Seras dead, why Civit is so bloodthirsty, why Touka didn’t use Pigimaru right off the bat against Civit… but the manga chapters do all of those in a more exciting way, less as “passing comments” and more as part of the plot, you know?

Plus the scene where the Emperor was losing his shite thinking on Seras is way funnier.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m still watching it, and I’m enjoying the series. But it could be better.

Of course they’d put Luce on the foreground, with the main character (Elma) on the back. Still, the picture looks really good, and as Phelpssan said the series is solid. I’m going to watch this one for sure!

As another user said I’m giving it one more episode, but seriously considering to drop it.

I’m guessing it because I didn’t read the source material, but Kai and Sid are likely the same person. It seems like there’s some sort of time loop going on, not just the world going into a “what if”. (If not Kai himself, Sid must be someone close to him.)

I’m still flinging back and forth between “I’m glad that I picked this up” and “I’ll keep watching it because, why not?”. But my overall impression is really good.

Oh, they skipped the part where Touka destroys the inn’s wall by buffing Pigimaru up!

Touka is genuine on wanting Seras’ help, even if so far it’s always him saving her arse. It’s less as a bodyguard though and more like a walking lie detector.

As well as the similarity that Seras sees between the Princess and Touka - unlike other people, they’re looking at what she can do for them, not just for her beauty. So far the anime did a poor job explaining it, but Seras is in-world so beautiful that she drives people mad lusting over her.

Telling Seras to take off her clothes is not in the manga. I wonder if it’s from the LN or anime only. Kind of cringe but still funny.

I’ve been missing this series.
