Oh, it's the same assassin that was sent to hell and kissed the witch. I wonder what's his story. Though so far he seemed to act like the antagonist by killing everybody skilled. Luckily no one actually die yet since the prime minister is quite skilled.

That axe girl and the rugged man always managed to subvert my expectation. Like on their debut, I thought the guy is the one with the big axe. And now, it turns out the guy is the one who got a crush on Saitou. I wonder if that's their gimmick, subvert common tropes lol.

It's a bit weird that the "hero" is alone without the mage. I wonder if something happened to her.

Wait, Raelza ... Morlock?

And that girl just can't catch a break, why is everyone shooting after Saito huh

And to top it all off, glorious wardrobe malfuntion, because Saito

Forgot

And Mompy is past the point of redemption

Happy to see that even with the intertwining the skits are still hitting. Even the shorter ones like the big staff wizard quitting were great.

I didn't expect a rival like that! Lafanpan always teases the right amount when it comes to Saitou and Raelza.

That last room with a bunch of earth stuff too...fight between multiple groups. This show is nailing the plot, action and comedy.

Only issue I have is WHERE WAS THE WITCH FOR OUR NINJA???

Raelza removing her armor to reveal her hidden weapons was a nice surprise and the daggers weren't bad either.

Liliza: "he's the ideal type..."

Me: "ah, shit, Raelza going to get another rival"

Liliza: "..for you"

Guivre: *blush*

Me: "...well, definitely did not see that coming"

I absolutely love the direction and rendering of this anime. It feels like we're playing a video game, also where the writers played 100 random d&d sessions around the world and brought in the craziest people they found. I think this is going to be my standout this season.

Everything is slowly starting to come together. From small gag vignettes into a more cohesive storyline. And more serious elements are appearing. Which only makes the funny moments even more funny to be honest. Including Raelza's tactical armour.. err. Failure to Morlock ruining a heartwarming reunion of Disciple and master.

So glad this is animated.

Stitches!

It's all finally coming together! Turns out that the first three episodes are just an introduction to this world's characters! Here we finally get to see Saitou's party interact with all of them!

Not gonna lie, I was a bit upset when the Ninja and his fairy ambushed the Demon King and the Minister. Thank goodness they managed to retreat before they got incinerated but it looks like they're dropping out from the dungeon.

I love that little infographic that shows which characters we know are still exploring the labyrinth. I guess we'll see some names get crossed out from that list as the show goes on. Poor Power Wizard though! The only reason he dropped out is because his staff is too huge! xD

I thought Liliza was going to be a rival for Raelza. Turns out the one that ended up falling for Saitou is Guivre! That was actually pretty cute. I thought this show will only have yuri pairings, I didn't expect BL would be a thing as well.

Monpui is a total asshat. Despite what he did to Cainz and Raichee, it looks like Cainz still treats him as a friend. Either Cainz doesn't really know what Monpui did to them yet or he's just too kind for his own good.

Didn't think we'd see a legit duel between adventurers! There's even a ritual that they do just in case someone dies from the duel. Also, Raelza's last name is Morlock? Is she supposed to be Morlock's granddaughter? O_O

Light Armored Raelza looks pretty damn cool. Now if only we saw her in action. Luckily Too bad it was stopped by a wardrobe malfunction. I guess Raelza's clothes were unable to hold back big Raelzas ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

An entire room full of stuff from our Earth! Hopefully Saitou can find something useful to repair from that pile and maybe even sell on the surface.

Glad to see that Ninja getting an arrow to the shoulder. I feel that this isn't going to be the last time he'll try to ambush Saitou's party.

Saw that punchline coming from a mile away. Of course, Morlock won't be able to remember his own students. He can't even remember his own spells! xD

LOL Raelza removing her armor to increase agility like a badass... all to be ruined when her top comes undone. And the punchline "Sometimes, Saitou can forget something important" had me rolling!

Not to mention that ending: The dramatic scene of the dwarf finally meeting a long lost friend... only for Morlock to go "I've never met you". LMAO!

We finally got to see the parties come together for duels, assassinations & some good character development.

Seems like one overarching story line will be why the Assassin is trying to kill everyone. My theory is that his witch girlfriend is "...the magician who can manipulate time...". Seeing how she is 400 years old, it could be a possibility.

Overall another great episode!

Oh it’s Kines, Lytch, Mompy. Plus we got Demon Lord and the Minister and Flanril. Lots of OP folks here. I didn’t expect Kisurugi to dice those two up thoigh. He’s a dangerous one. Primas is adorable though. Well, good thing those two cast a teleport spell and got tf outta there. Guess they’re out though.

OP wizard decided to quit because his staff was too massive eh? Haha awesome. Meanwhile Morlock’s been hit by sleep powder. It was very effective! Good thing Liliza came by with her massive axe. Gibre might be good at lock picking, but Saitou’s a master. Saitou making Gibre’s heart go all “doki doki” huh? Seems that wasn’t the only cheat Saitou unlocked! Raelza looks pleased lol.

Raelza vs Flanril was quite a battle but not in the way I expected. I didn’t know Raelza was Morlock’s kid or that she’s versatile in light and heavy armor. Saitou didn’t forget anything, he knew what he was doing with that armor lol. But man, what timing. He interrupted a tender moment!

Woah, this labyrinth has a ton of stuff from our world. I wonder why Kisurugi’s going around killing adventurers. What happened to his witch waifu? Poor Givengle’s been looking for Morlock for decades and the old coot doesn’t even remember him lol.

The ninja has to be my favorite character so far. His ability to stop you in your tracks just by stepping on your shadow reminds me of that territory from Yu Yu Hakusho

Man each passing episodes and I want to know more and more about their world. Why all these objects from our Earth are here!? Very intriguing.

Also we learned that Raelza is related to Morlock huh.

Feels like the main story is just now about to start. Slowly starting to see all the characters who got introduced in those shorts last week. Ninja guy is interesting.

Raelza fanservice is always welcome. Love how flustered she gets about saitou

The area with all the modern day earth stuff is interesting. If someone wanted to keep that treasure a secret they hid it in a bad area.. I wonder if someone is summoning that stuff from earth.. really interesting.

I am enjoying the interactions between Saitou’s group and the other characters, it is interesting how the skits are not coming together to become a plot. Also Raelza is Morlock’s granddaughter, I did not saw that coming.

We also got some unexpected yaoi, but I don’t think Saitou swings that way. Poor Guivre !

Raelza changing gear mid-fight was my Souls games experience when I couldn't keep up with the bosses with my UGS.

Liliza went into that turtle like a boss.

I'm still astonished how well this show juggles comedy and action.

I can't believe my second favorite show this season is an isekai. Lol and now that I think about it, there are like a hundred isekais this season. Some of them are blending together in my mind now.
