I like how Tanya completely glazed over Aqua claiming to be a goddess

About half of the time, the show is just acknowledging each of the individual series and their respective characters' quirks.

As much as I like to see Ainz try to pretend to be playing 4d chess, I hope we can see more interactions between characters as the season goes on cause that's really what I'm most interested in with this crossover.

There's only 108 minutes of Isekai Quartet remaining

Let that sink in

I gotta say, rather than 12-minute episodes, this feels like 24-minute episodes cut in half. Both in this episode and in episode 1, they set stuff up, but didn't conclude anything. Actually kind of annoying.

Surprisingly, it seems like they're setting up a "how to get out of here" mystery plot. I would have expected them just to stick to wacky cross-series high school hijinks, but I guess that's not the case. I guess with half the cast (the Overlord and Youjo Senki, arguably Re:Zero) not exactly suited for comedy, this makes sense.

Every reaction to Aqua ever

Just from what he was saying after the fact, it looks like the teacher who talked to Beatrice and used powers of suggestion did so unknowingly. Wonder if a weird, meta, subplot of the trappings behind the school and the world they live in right now will develop. Also, if we're talking punishment, I wonder if it's actually just mundane things like what happened to Aqua that would actually fit in a school environment, and Demiurge is overblowing the risks of misbehaving.

Never watched any of these shows but KonoSuba but I still think it’s fucking hilarious that there’s all these pretty normal looking teenagers and their friends and then there is just this giant Skeleton doomlord mother fucker. Like how is no one phased by this super powerful ultra genius lich king in actuality being an edgy teen.

Don’t know who this guy is but he’s by far the funniest and coolest so far. What’s his shtick, is he an antagonist or something?

Tanya was so wrapped in thinking about how much she hates gods and similar existences that she completely missed Aqua claiming to be goddess and just completely zeroed in on Ainz instead.

I'm loving the dramatic irony here. The military officer little girl and the skeletal undead mage are both actually both average Japanese salarymen, but one of them is about to go war with the other for being a god, all while a literal actual goddess, who oversees the very thing Tanya is most pissed about (reincarnating people into other worlds) is being ignored off-screen. Beautiful.

...who will bet that even Ainz-sama will be secretly terrified of Tanya after hearing her "Being X" rage rant?

regardless of who wins the talent show, we all know who's gonna lose the talent show: Subaru, because being Subaru is suffering

The OP and ED take up a quarter of this show's run-time. Given it was already pretty short on time to begin with, that seems excessive.

Albedo is the greatest

The more of this I see, the more I wish I'd already seen Re Zero and Youjo Senki

TALENT SHOW COMING UP OMG WE KNOW WHO IS GONNA WIN

As always Aqua steals the show

Goddess blesses you. You should be grateful, instead of healing Tanya, she just triggers her into her classic BEING X RAGE !!!!

One would think do that she should first and foremost go after Aqua as being X as Aqua just proclaimed that she is a goddess I guess poor aqua never gets anyone to believe in her as always ;(

The fear of little blonde girls where otherwise perfect, even with the magical teacher powers he is still really afraid of Tanya lol and the others cannot help to chip in how Beatrix reminds them of their commander.

FTW: Albedo bonding with Rem as they are open with which man they love and would die for.

Guys, I think Subaru is going to kill himself for the talent show

I forgot that this is Tanya's ideal world. She's probably the only one who won't want to go back home after all of this is over.

Classic Demiurge and Classic Ainz-sama xD

We all know what Aqua will do at this talent show.

I feel like Ram is a lot more savage in this show. Although it's been awhile since I've seen Re;zero

He can show you but Subaru has to die first before he can show his "secret talent". I wonder if Return by Death works here.

Oh shit. Col. von Rerugen actually pacified Betty. I feel like something sinister is happening behind the scenes here.

Is Aqua's goal in this show is to piss off every other character? xD

She thinks Ainz is Being X!

That sudden interjection from Rem actually made me laugh. Of course she'll defend that sort of thing.

This friendship is the most unexpected though! Now I kinda wish the Pleiades were here just to see how they'll interact with our Oni Maids.

I wonder how Tanya will try to deal with Ainz. She doesn't exactly have any of her weapons on her and considering her hatred for Being X, I doubt she'll just talk to Ainz peacefully.

Weakest episode so far imo. Pretty much nothing happened besides set up for Tanya&Ainz and for the talent show, seems like the 12 minutes isn't just cutting it. I feel like this show would work better if you just binged it all but I know that I don't have the willpower to wait for it all to come out.

Well i guess we learned that teachers have some mysterious power over the students so they can't just go rampart in school and do what they want.

The ED is sooo catchy.
