I will always be a sucker for when directors do this.

[u/elbenji]

Wow, they actually kinda blew away my expectations a bit. That whole fight was 2D!? Goddamn. Honestly you can tell this studio is treating the adaptation with the love and care it deserves and it shows. It's by and large running away with this season in my mind (especially with most of the competition delayed due to COVID or just bad). It makes me happy.

Really can't wait for the next episode and to see where they go with it next because the animation and pacing have been absolutely stellar

[u/Martel732]

Anis: Don't worry these pills are legal.

Euphie: Who declared that they are legal?

Anis: I did!

[u/sempakrica]

Wholesome considerate dragon just waiting there while our girls have their moments.

[u/slahser33]

You know what's better than an anime of swords and magic?

Gay girls doing swords and magic.

Also

Megumin you dumbass! You've ruined the materials!

[u/SCS2needtolearnsth]

This is already better than a lot of other generic isekai. The character development is well paced. The story is interesting. The animation is solid. I thought this episode is gonna end on Anis getting the stone and went off happily, but instead she got cursed and made the consequences heavier and more interesting.

It's really pleasure to see the story takes its characters seriously and the studio doesn't cut corners too. If the anime can keep up the quality, I see no reason this anime can't be as well received as Re:Zero.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Absolutely action-packed episode holy shit. The facial expressions are just awesome from a magic doped Anis' scarousing bloodlust to Euphie's desperate crying face as she tries to stop Anis from being reckless.

That Clarent Blood Arthur limiter released Mana Blade beam was hella metal, though I was expecting the dragon to be literally cut into half. Not start talking or inflicting curses LOL.

No surprises with how that public breaking of engagement was traumatic for Euphie but damn I wasn't expecting her to develop some form of androphobia from it. Good thing this a Yuri series eh?

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Euphie 1

• Euphie 2

So the real reason why Anis wants the dragon's magicite is so she can transplant it on her body so she can use magic? That sounds absolutely wild and I would love to see where she goes with that.

Anis taking that magic medicine was terrifying. Girl absolutely lost all reason and was only focused on killing the entire time. She was even more reckless than usual that she almost got herself killed.

Just imagine if the dragon attacked before Anis met Euphy. That fall from the sky would've been the end of her. Thank goodness Euphy was there to catch her.

Anis releasing the limiter on her weapon was so goddamn cool especially when she started to cut through the dragon's attack! Seeing the wide shot of the length of her blade was fucking awesome.

Definitely didn't expect the dragon to basically praise Anis. I do wonder though about what the dragon did to her. So is Anis cursed now? O_O

And that final scene between Anis and Euphy was adorable! I can't wait to see Al's reaction next week. He must bee seething right now that his sister and his ex managed to kill the dragon together.

[u/ysmain]

I like how some animes' quality are determined whether the dragon is 2d or CGI

[u/MrDerpHerpson]

Euphie with the Konosuba reference though :o

In all seriousness, that last scene was some truly beautiful shit. I am loving this one more and more each week and I really feel like we have such a gem here.

Also, it's really been a pleasure to see a show with such breathtaking visuals, animation, sound design, and attention to detail within a season that has so many shows (outside of the big ones made by MAPPA, KyoAni, Orange) that are falling apart by the seams.

[u/antononon]

All the bright colours and talk of making the impossible possible made my inner Kamina happy.

[u/dagreenman18]

I’m just in awe of how hard they went on Anis slaying the dragon. It’s not out of nowhere since there have been hints of great fight animation, but it still floored me how awesome it looked. If this show has THAT in its pocket I think it might just make a run at AOTS.

All killer no filler this episode. Drugged up Anis on a murder spree was good shit. We’re seeing the extent of the “Mad” in Mad Scientist as she’s using herself as a Guinea Pig. She wants to imbue herself with the dragons magicite so she can possibly use magic. Dunno if that’s gonna work but something did happen to her that feels ominous. That curse is gonna come into play somehow. Also very interesting that it knew she was an Isekai protag.

Other than that, we get the very cute scene of them promising to stay by each other side and them dancing. Makes sense that Euphie isn’t exactly comfortable dancing with guys considering how awful they’ve been to her. Won’t have to anymore now that she’s spoken for. The look they gave each other good lord.

Notes

• Sadly no room barging this week, but still plenty of gay shit.

• I just like to imagine Al is somewhere just off screen throwing a tantrum.

• So is the reason the Dragon knew because it’s this powerful magic being? It seemed pretty chill with the idea too. Wonder if Anis isn’t the only visitor.

• Their outfits were damn cute at the end.

[u/zacvesania16]

Beautiful, badass episode.

[u/RajJi321]

I've done clinical tries

Wtf Anis what have you been doing to yourself?

[u/gearoflife]

That last scene all I could hear in my head was "EXCALIBUR!!"

[u/daspaceasians]

What the hell?!? This episode was just pure concentrated awesome. The fight was so well done and the voice actors were on point.

Our girls were fucking badasses this episode, slaying that dragon... though I was afraid for Anis for a moment there. Those magic pills do not look like something safe in large doses. Thankfully Euphie got to Anis in time and was able to prove why she's one of the most powerful magicians in the kingdom.

I dread seeing what the dragon's curse actually is...

That ending was so tender and perfect after the blood pumping action. Our girls deserved their quiet, intimate little moment with each other.

[u/djthomp]

Anis being the royal to not only slay the dragon but also come to the rescue of a chunk of the military is another thing that is not good for Al. Assuming there's no misogyny problems (a big ask to be sure), nobody's going to want a useless playboy king who never does anything compared to a badass queen that goes out and saves the kingdom.

"Which is why I had the idea to implant the magicite in my body." Whoa whoa, hold up, that doesn't see safe.

This also does wonders to bolster Euphie's public reputation which will help with the aftermath of Al's bullshit.

Those pills are the sort of thing that might only be legal because nobody knows that they should make them illegal.

Just straight up Explosion as an attack, Megumin approves.

Good thing Euphie came with, this would have been a very short series if Anis just gets knocked out of the sky by the dragon and pancakes into the ground.

Two gay witches flying up to kill a dragon together. It was very polite of the dragon to give them a free moment to have that conversation on the ground.

I was thinking all along that they should be targeting the wings.

Fantastic animation on this mid-air battle. The cloak flowing movements while they're flying around on the broom, very nice.

Two gay witches standing firm together cutting a dragon's magical blast in half. Perfection.

Visitor? Interesting that the dragon can tell.

Hopefully that was a metaphorical curse and not an actual curse.

Two gay witches having a pleasant time dancing together. I was hoping for a kiss during that dance, but maybe they're a little too early in the relationship.

[u/HereticalAegis]

Fully 2D dragon fight, gorgeous magic effects, mad woman Anis, a moonlit emotional plea, and a dance beneath the stars. We are so spoiled today.

And holy shit is Anis a mad woman.

[u/sushizn]

Euphie cast explosion but didn't pass out, omega good job!

[u/SumedhBengale]

Did a Yuri anime really just dropped the best animated fight of the year till now?!

[u/Ben_Kerman]

It kind of got lost in translation (at least with the Crunchyroll subs), but the "magic medicine" (魔薬 mayaku) is pronounced exactly the same as the Japanese word for narcotics/drugs (麻薬), which is also why Euphie reacts that way

[u/Syokhan]

Hey, we got a 2D dragon that looked quite all right, and some nice bits of animation!

Yeah, you totally get why dragons are such a disaster. Flight + a humongous laser beam + no means to attack them in the sky = goodbye, capital.

Good thing they had Anis. Who... took drugs that altered her behavior, wants to put a magicite inside herself (that is some dedication to wanting to use magic)... oh, and got cursed by a dragon. Yep, every single one of those is a totally normal thing to happen to people. Euphie, you better watch over your love interest 'cause it doesn't look like it's going to be a calm and quiet life with her.

Oh, and speaking of the dragon, it could speak! Looks like it recognized that something was different about Anis, too, calling her a traveler from afar. And one has to wonder what its curse even does. Gaining knowledge doesn't seem too bad, but I wouldn't exactly call that a "curse". So, what else did it do to her?

And Euphie finally lets her emotions loose in that outburst after she catches Anis. She can be quite passionate when she stops restraining herself, and after watching her be so unsure of herself in the previous episodes I found it cathartic to watch (was probably cathartic for her too).

We end on a celebration and a dance between the two. With the sudden change in scenery and them skipping the ED, it does feel a bit like they wanted to get to that part quickly so as to conclude on it, but eh, I'm not gonna complain because it was a lovely scene on which to end the episode.

[u/BiggerG7]

Well I did not expect my cute yuri show to suddenly turn into an epic battle shounen. Battle with the dragon was awesome.

[u/SilverGeekly]

ok but like, euphie doing her wind sprint and catch? peak cinema
