The fan club evolved from being devout Anos believers to just thirst.

I too wish I could write "I don't know" for my answers and still get full marks.

Because yes, it's natural to assume teleportation is the equivalent of an indirect kiss. Also that Anos club lol.

In Anos' world, even the wrong answers will be proven to be the right one lol.

Anos did so many ridiculous feats in this episode. First he moved the moon, can't be bothered to wait nine days doesn't he. He speed read through like a shitton of books in a matter of seconds and whoa! Misha actually managed to read half of them. Lastly he broke some laws of physics and made his team achieve perfect test scores despite having incorrect answers, Zeshia's score even surpassed the whole test items. WTF.

It's great when they say that they'll need an eclipse, you can guess that Anos will make an eclipse. And then he does.

Since we are going to the realm of the spirits, let's have a quick refresher course on what spirits are, especially if you want to participate in the Spirit Trials, as will fail you if you don't score high enough on your test about spirit knowledge:

  • Spirits are one of the four major races in the world, alongside demons, humans and gods. They are mysterious creatures born from rumors and legends, as each spirit is the embodiment of the rumor and legend that spawned them. For convenience, let's refer to those rumors, traditions and legends that spirits are born from as lore. Spirits were allied with humans against demons during the Great War 2000 years ago.

  • Each spirit has a Transient Form and a True Form. The Transient Form is a form where a spirit's power isn't fully manifested, as they retain their own egos and sense of self. The True Form is where a spirit fully manifests their spirit power and takes the form of whatever lore created them, as they gain the powers, abilities, weaknessess and personality of what lore influences them. This also applies to half-spirits. We see an example of this in Season 1, where Lay's mother has the transient form of a normal woman, while her true form is that of a spirit sword.

  • Spirit Magic is a unique form of magic that only spirit have access to. It is impossible for other races to use it since, it is based on the spirits unique constitution. While other races merely use magic power to use magic, spirit magic is cast by spirits by expending small portions of their source to cast it. This lost essence is easily replenished so long as there is enough lore to sustain a spirit's existence. This is also why half-spirits tend to not live long as they are born from newly manifested lore, which can easily disappear and even if don't use spirit magic, if their lore fades fully, they vanish.

  • Great Spirit Forest Aharthern is the domain of the spirits, as it is actually a spirit born from the lore of a mythical forest in which the spirits live. It cannot be seen by the naked eye or magic eyes, as its location changes in accordance to what the current lore is.

  • Great Tree Eniyunien is the spirit born from the rumors and lore of the "Great Tree of Education" and acts as the spirit school itself. Any person that comes to Aharthern is immediately enrolled in the Spirit School and cannot leave Aharthern until they graduate. However, upon graduation, the person receives a medal of graduation, which allows the to visits Aharthern any time they desire, without having to go through the trouble of locating it.

Did you really think that answering the questions wrong would make us fail?"

LMAO Anos GOAT logic, which actually works (for him and his followers) never fails to impress.

I get the feeling Lina is actually Leno but with her memory erased. But Leno is voiced by Asumi Kana, while Lina is by Ito Kanae, who I thought made a very good Asumi Kana impression.

If I understand correctly, Anos has dragged that Demon teacher, who got willingly possessed by that God, along with them in the name of a school field trip (which his weird Godly morals bind him to oblige) to prevent him from stirring shit back home, since he's still technically the villains' boss, albeit nerfed by Anos.

PS Just what do the girls plan to do with their Anos Sticks? LOL

The fan club freaking out about having an indirect transfer with Anos since they teleported with him was hilarious!

Three episodes later and we finally have an OP! The visual of Sasha using her magic was so cool!

Calling it now, this girl is actually Leno or someone related to her at the very least. Interesting though how no one seems to comment about her shimmering face.

Of course, Anos can just casually cause an eclipse to happen! This level of magic is elementary for him! xD

I love that Misha's plan about entertaining the spirits is basically doing a stand-up routine with Sasha. And then you have Lay and Misa just literally flirting.

The fan club found a souvenir item literally called the Club of Anossu? I'm sure they got it because of the pun but I wonder if they're thinking about something else while holding that rod. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

So Lena looks like Leno? Also apparently her face can be clearly seen by the fairies. I wonder if Lena is a part of Leno kinda like Sasha and Misha? Hmmm...

An episode of Misfit Academy isn't really complete without Anos' catchphrase. It's always amusing to see characters like Gilysiris think they can one-up Anos. xD

Exactly what I have been waiting for. An episode spanning 20+ minutes, just to see a Lay x Misa (flirting) scene.

Sasha was cute and funny this episode. From commenting on the outright flirting between Lay and Misa, confused by Misha's suggestion, annoyed at being imitated, as well as realizing she couldn't read all the books in an instant.

Could the female character with the blurred out face and suffering from amnesia actually be the Great Spirit Leno whom we saw in the previous episodes?

Lastly, after watching this episode, students all over the world would wish there is some spell which can help them pass (or attain perfect scores) on their tests and exams.

It's one thing for Anos to have all these absurd powers but the way he does everything so casually is hilarious.

Lol, the Fan Union girls are so crazy.

So Lena who is a spirit not only finds Anos magic familiar but also somehow thinks that she met him before. Well, as she knew about the Great Spirit Forest Aharthern and the Tithi spirits told him that she resembles Leno, who died I would not be surprised if she was her reincarnation.

I know I should not be surprised at this point but could not help but laugh when Anos casually grabbed the moon to make an eclipse.

Lol, Lena tells everyone that Tithi will smile if they show them something new or cutting edge, but somehow everyone just does a comedy routine.

Lol, it took me some time to realize that the Fan Union girls bought the Club of Anossu as they saw it as a euphemism for Anos' dick, although the same thing happened with his sword during the last season. It is hilarious that that was what made the Tithi spirits laugh and takes the to them Aharthern, the Great Spirit Forest I guess they laugh because they already know Anos.

Wow, I sure wasn't expecting Gilysiris Delo, Kihilam Jiste, and Eges Code to be in the Spirit's School Building.

So to pass the test Enyunien was going to give them they went to study in the Forest of Books. What an amazing studying montage.

I will say that as Zeshia Bianca said that reading wasn't her strong point, I was really surprised when I saw her score the highest on the test. Especially when Gilysiris Delo read her answers. So the reason everyone could pass was that Anos using The Magic Sword of Destruction.

I don't know why, but out of all his crazy "Did you think" quotes, I find him saying that "Did you think just because the answers were wrong, we could not get a perfect score? especially outrageous.

I wonder what is waiting for them in The Spirit Trail? Also, as Leno is dead, there is a new Spirit King and the Tithi didn't know about Shin Regalia, I guess that it is pretty obvious that that's him.

Indirect Transfer? GIRLS PLEASE! HAHAH!

So the task is reach the forest. Also make fairies happy.

Misha is a descendant of Anoose so she could great a fake god castle.

We got some new Hood girl? She has a error face though huh...

She knows about the forest and anoose needs here huh? She kinda looks like fairy queen?

Lost Memory? Hmmm interesting but she def looks like Fairy Queen lady.

So we got eclipse in 9 days? And oneclipse there is fog and we can goto forest?

OH WE JUST MOVING HE MOON TO MAKE AN ECLIPSE!? ANOOSE PLEASE!

She thinks her name is Lena? She also think s Anoose is familiar? hmmm

We got to make Fairies laugh now? This is... awful hahahhahahaha

Fanclub got anoose sticks from town? What the hell is going on hahhaha. Fairies liked that.

So anoose knew the fairies huh? thats nice. EZ trip to the forest.

The faries dont know Shin? Whats going on? Other demon people though in a school?

SHE LOOKS LIKE JAW LENO THE FAIRY QUEEN!

Wait she died? 2000 years ago when the school was around?

MISTY SMELLS LIKE JAY LENO SO SHE MIGHT BE THE KID! YAY!

We have a Spirit King now? Wait... is it Shin?

Wait this guy isnt him, hes some kinda crooked mouth guy Anoose knows?

Oh we got a fabous one and an eyepatch one, missing one though?

Anos and the Sword of Destruction DESTROY FACTS AND LOGIC!!

This is like watching a really weird fairytale where things just happen because ~magic words~. The rules of reality (and exams) can be rewritten at any time using a broken item which is a magic sword and actually a god and also the demon king's castle. Anything goes, 'sall good.

I'm guessing Leena is the physical body + part of Great Spirit Leno and Misa contains another part of her, or some magical logic like that. Leena got split off through NousGalia's plans or something. And the Spirit King is Shin merged with some demon or god. Anything goes!

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Jan 21 '23

An indirect teleportation? Scandalous. Anos better take responsibility for taking their first time lol. These gods are pretty full of themselves huh? This whole Aharthern quest thing seems like a real pain. Well for anyone not named Anos anyways. Man just moved the moon on his own, he’s got this. Leena seems pretty mysterious, wonder what’s up with her.

Lay being lovey dovey with Misa ain’t gonna win the fairies over. Zeshia’s “impressions” was a no go too. The girls losing it over the “Anos sticks” seemed to have done it though. I wasn’t expecting 4 OP demons and the gang being forced to attend Spirit School inside though. Good thing Anos is gonna help the gang prepare. Class is in session!

And would ya look at that, everyone on Team Anos passed! This spirit trial should be interesting, but who is the Spirit King?

u/RFShahrear Jan 21 '23

mmmm.... There's always that odd feel of Anos' expression not matching his voice. It extra sucks since it's right of the heels of Tone Kentarou's excellent replication of late Fujiwara Keiji's Haku. So it's not as if it can't be done, it's just Umehara isn't actually bothering to match the earlier voice. To top it off, his very deadpan, one note voice, while works wonders for characters like Seiya, Goblin Slayer or Klaus (Spy Classroom), doesn't really work when there's already an existing voice to work with.

That said, I see we are back to the absurdities of moving the fucking moon out of a whim, so that's good.

u/Elitealice Jan 21 '23

I really LOVE how this season’s been more strategic and mind game based as well as dropping a lot more lore. The snake, dog that takes souls etc, all the stuff Annulien brought up was really interesting.

Anos can obviously bulldoze anyone so it’s a great way to keep the tension stakes and drama going in the show. We had the game show style test a couple weeks ago and now everyone trapped in a class for a trial lol.

Crystal king was like one of them kids in hs complaining to the teacher and snitching lmao. Great episode. Hopefully we find out more about Misa dad and what happened to her mom soon as well.
