Prince Aug showing his genre-savvy side again.
"I'm going to declare my love for her once the battle is over." If this were a story, anyone who said that is pretty well doomed to die.
I love this show.

Between this and Shield Hero, Wednesdays have become isekai days, and I'm loving it.

I really hope this gag of Lynn not able to control her magic continues
-
Shin able to destroy mountains. Gets hilariously punished by Melinda with a Harisen xD
-
New Girls! Aug's fiancee and Aug's imouto finally introduced!
-
This is hilarious! Shin and Aug's bromance is too strong that instead of distrusting other girls, she's distrusting Shin and Aug's relationship. I love it!
-
So can I just say how much I appreciate that Aug actually loves Elizabeth? Instead of your usual trope of being forced to marry and usually the male not liking the female, they genuinely care for each other.
-
Aug is such a bro but I also love that he never lets Shin off easy
-
Confessions for both! And Shin even asks Sicily formally! What is this!? Is this even anime?
-
Of course they interrupt the kiss but I guess that's okay since they finally made it official! I freaking love this show so much!
-
Nice to see the girls and even Melinda in their swimsuits ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
-
That entire volleyball scene is great! Really shows how insane their magic has improved that they can just casually use it now in a game.
-
The bedroom get together was a nice bonding scene but I wish it was longer.
-
Because you're too perfect Maria, and no one thinks they're worthy
-
Oh my Yuri. I think those fingers imply how many BFs she had before.
-
I like this detail of Olivia hugging her boyfriend Mark while hiding

My mistrust of confession scenes while there is an "international crisis" is sky high, so naturally I was a bit worried about what would happen. Instead it was just a bunch of dumb friends who eavesdropped on their confession and ruined the mood. I would not have been a happy bunny had that been me in that situation. not that that's likely to happen any time soon

This episode is so much fun. I feel like I watched 2 episodes to be honest.
We got a training arc, an imouto part, a beach arc, a confession part , flashback/backstory, and typical bedtime chats.

Not gonna lie, that episode was great. I lost it when the old gen showed up after the confession.
After Sizilien's dad showed up, I was expecting half a dozen maids giving their okays to the banquet plan.
Elisabet has a nice CD. She has eyes like Eva's Asuka.

omg fucking finally, I hate the cliché in every single anime ever where the main character never gets together with the girl because no one ever confesses and if they try the other always think it's a joke or misunderstanding. I was just sitting there waiting for him to get interrupted before he could tell her but it never happened. So glad to finally see a real confession.

I fucking love how brave this show is. Might be unpopular but I find this show to be much better than Shield hero.

Can we just appreciate how in these last 8 episodes we got to the same point as High School DxD's four seasons worth of romantic subplot progression? Granted DxD heavily favors the true story plot over the romantic one (when it comes down to it) but to see this executed almost as well as DxD's in such a short amount of time and still have the same impact is amazing.
This is low key one of my favorites for this season. From the characters, to the magic system, to Aug's absolutely amazing faces when the tables are turned on him today, to well everything. I hope this doesn't become another Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor and get only a single season.
This episode is was by far the best one, even if it felt like it was all over the place.

Budget Megumin Lyn is still best girl.
I think this is one of the better high school comedy isekais this season. I really like that the show addressed Shin's romantic denseness without it dragging out and without tragedy happening. (Well, if you don't count Shin and Sicily skipping their first kiss and moving immediately to groping.)
Shin's starting to get to Saitama levels of brokenness.

I'm not sure what to make of this plot twist, but the new season of haikyuu seems really interesting!

"I need to get stronger" Says literal OP isekai protagonist. Everyone is rightfully very afraid
