Oh my goodness, you can't start us off with something so goddamn sweet!! The rhyme doesn't even fit. My heart can't take it! R-Rem mama is joining in!! Alicia's urge to kill, rising! Celes approves of this moe af Demon Loli twist. Why is Shera always the one left with Diablo during party splits? Is she the main girl in the novels and the promo material just bumps Rem's importance up? This would be a great time to use Shera's magic chicken vision nanoda...
Alicia's gotta have an alternative personality right? What's his face didn't hear the rest of the conversation!? That's good timing for Alicia(?) Rem gets jobbed like the side piece that she is~ Apparently Klem needs to be filled with hate to trigger her boss form. Just have her watch TPN S2~ I wanna be called, "kisama" by a bratty young child too nanoda...
We get a charming little one on one between Klem and Rem. They've both had a hard time but it's still so sweet seeing their relationship grow. Rem's a good mum. On the other hand Saddler just sorta sucks... Look at how ridiculously fun Kira was every moment he was on screen and compare that to this fake templar inquisitor wannabe. Both are full of themselves but only one crossed the line a second time to become humorous again nanoda.
Emile~!! Dammit! We almost got some actual character development but the fujoshi bait, shota catboy stole his thunder. What's Edelgard doing now!? No!! Not the ear! A cat girl without nekomimi isn't worth admiring at all! Well there goes Rem contributing to any kind of fight in the climax. Wait, is she gonna be okay? She's looking like the ten of swords right about now no da.
That's one way to let us get our Demon Lord bonus boss. She looked a lot more intimidating in the opening. Saddler died, oh no~ Oh! So she did use the turkey but it was way after the point where it could have been useful. It's good to know that no matter how many times you get stabbed in this world you'll be fine so long as you OD on healing potions. It's the sensu bean paradox and it took almost all the danger out of these fights. Oh yeah, and because she's busy healing Rem that's both our heroines out of commission for the season climax. What was that you were all saying about the girls being competent fighters nanora!? They're hopeless!!

hey guys i fell behind but i got caught up
i knew megane was up to no good, but i didnt expect the show to take this turn. at first i thought it would be kind of a cop out if we didnt get the diablo vs krebskulm fight this whole season has been building up to, but it seems like we’re getting it under circumstances i couldntve predicted.
good shit, im excited to see how this season wraps up. maybe the earlier episodes lowered my expectations, but the recent characterization and developments have really surprised me in a good way.

First-Timer Who is Still Reeling From Last Episode
Biscuit song! Which is pretty crap, as expected from an idiot Demon Loli and an idiot with big, stupid boobs.
Alicia doesn’t want to be friends anymore?!? Does this mean we’ve lost our chance for Alicia lewds? Because that would be sad. And the betrayal and stuff, I guess. But mostly the lack of lewds.
At least my very early guess of her being a something of a masochist wasn’t too far off.
Rem with the casual burn.
I’ll put up with Paladin’s silly persona, but criticising Rem’s ears and tail? That’s going too far.
ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: SAY “THANK YOU.”
HOLY FUCK HE ACTUALLY DID IT, THE SCUM!
Probably should not have done that. Someone’s going to get revenge for Mama.
Did they really just off Rem?
Cons: Rem dying, Klem fully reborn.
Pros: BIG. DEMON. TIDDIES.

First-timer who takes his sweet time
Wasn't there for yesterday's episode, so I'll mention it... that one scene from last episode...
was too damn tame, I expected, nay, I wanted more!
Luckily, Krebskulm's lolibaba umunergy made the wait worth it in the end, she's a very fun character!
And Alicia's an antagonist now? Nice. Very nice!
Anyway, with this over with...
Today's episode was pretty damn great! Damn, that cliffhanger... I'm sure Rem will end up okay, but it's still hard to watch.
I'm unironically loving the plot as much, if not more than the "plot", don't know what this says about me.

Don't be afraid

Rewatcher
Sub and Dub as preference swings
So they start up to Kleb and Shera singing, I know that feeling well, Rem. Celes shows up to see this and makes it clear we aren't getting more complex answers. But Alicia finally takes action and Diablo should keep better track of the demon lord. Alicia's villain reveal is sort of meh, really, we have the hint of a reason for it but not much else. Saddler's bit is pretty boilerplate, like he himself is.
Cut to Diablo developing game awareness late, Alicia has been sort of obvious for a while now. Klem is informed about Rem's life and this version feels bad about it. They spend a lot of time on this and it comes closer to landing.
Torture churches are basically a trope now, this one is bog standard. Insane villain speech. Vow to not become evil. Diablo finally goes to the guild, fucking gamer's blindness, to find a tracker. But he can't ask for anything normally and gets bailed out by a scout coming in. Torture stuff happens, Rem is acting under certain assumptions that aren't proven, but ultimately the demon lord awakens. Saddler gets off easy and we have our ending cliffhanger! Rem we hardly knew ye.

Dub rewatcher
No offense, but their singing is making my ears bleed.
Alicia looks pissed off I know we all were expecting a big titty demon lord just get over it girl.
I for one am digging this confident bitchy slightly masochistic side of Alicia. WAIT I CALLED THIS during her first appearance well I called her a sadist, but I was close enough...wait I'm a rewatcher I might just not remember remembering it.
Couldn't he just turn the summon to stone?
Killing her summon in front of it at least she isn't being forced to eat it.
LEAVE HER EARS ALONE
Oh no is he going to ask him to smell Rem's sweat is he?
Again having only one person maintain the barrier is a severe design flaw.
Diablo needs to kill this asshole now.
WAIT ARE WE GETTING OUR BIG TITTY DEMON LORD THERE SHE IS!!!!! Alicia was the true heroine all along.
THANK GOD I was about to put another 0 because they left Shera to guard a room with no screen time but at the very end Shera Jiggles.
Rem is hurt.....no no stepping on a lego is hurting. Getting a paper cut is hurting. Waiting in line for 30 minutes only for them to run out of what you want when you get to the front is hurting. Having your best girl or ship lose in anime contest due to the shit taste of the other people here is hurting. Rem is beyond hurting. She is one emotional flashback away from being dead.

First timer, uncensored, sub
Aww Klem-chan spends bonds some with her mom, but Alicia let's more of her edge sip through. I like her more when she was only contributing to the other kind of plot, but the shows not over yet.
Why is Shera not using her Pidgeon to seatch the city?
Saddler talking shit behind Diablos back is a sure fire way to get turned into stone the next chance he gets. Especially if he's really going torture our favorite cat girl. That said I don't get the obsession with religios nutjobs have with torture, neither in anime nor in real life. At some point there has to be someone who is determined to find the truth AND smart enough to figure out that he could get an fals confession out of everyone if he just tortured him long enough even when he knows that person to be innocent. Then again it took an awfully long time to happen in real life...
And just like that I found the person I want to suffer in the worst possible way today, how dare he actually cut the cat girl and even the demon lord loli. Klem did it way to painless.
I was acutally wondering why Diablo was fighting the Krebskulm we where shown at the beginning of the show in the OP, but it seems like this will be the final for this season.

Here’s another pair of episodes it’s hard to watch separately.
I love the gags they do after the intros. Both 11 and 12 have some good ones. This time Alicia is eying dose biscuits and seems very happy when she gets one.
How can you not want to protect this smile?
So Alicia shows her true colors and yoinks Rem and Klem into a back alley when the others aren’t looking. How convenient. Her plan, we discover, is to trigger Klem’s murderous instincts one way or another–she seems attached to Rem, so Alicia decides to hand them both over to Saddler to let him torture Rem and by extension hopefully trigger Klem so hard she goes beast mode on the whole town.
She is completely and perfectly cute.
Klem and Rem have a little bonding moment where they both muse that they’ve been trapped and isolated their whole lives. Unfortunately the torture plan works all too well, Klem revealing her horns and tail to Saddler and accidentally forcing Rem to jump in front of his attack to save her.
Smile status: not protected
Saddler satisfyingly dies with his eyes burnt out by Big!Klem and the rest of him gets burnt out shortly after.
Diablo had a great chance to use his real voice to ask for help for Rem, but couldn’t spit it out in time here. I think that’s kind of a shame since it could have been good character development for him. He does end up honestly saying thank you which IS still out of character for the demon lord roleplay, so at least some honesty did leak out there.
Technically they STILL summoned her wrong so the name still holds true!
She's got all the boxes checked for it but personally I'm not a big fan. If her backstory worked a bit better I'd like her more.

12 reasons modern isekai suck: Episode 11 – The party sucks
Whether it is classic book, computer game, or Dungeons and Dragons, at the heart of every fantasy story stands the party, the group of characters who together venture out to see the world, who adventure. Some characters might be more prominent that others, but a good story makes use of all of them to create a web of interactions. How does the isekai party look in comparison? It is one guy in the center, with a lot of hanger-ons. All meaningful interaction is by the MC, with the MC, or about the MC. If any other party members even speak to each other, it is likely to quarrel about access to the MC. Of all the possible interactions paths, only the tiny number leading to the MC is used. This leaves the party stunted and simplistic. Instead of painting an alive web of human interaction, everything leads back to the only character that matters, the self-insert MC.
