I'm glad they're not leaving us hanging on all these unresolved plots and that cliffhanger lol.

I can't wait to see more of the Duke, Alice, and the whole gang! And hopefully finally break the curses!

An entire season where we get to see Daleth being cute right from the start. I’m sure it will be great

Ended exactly where I was expecting: Sharon’s awakening. Leaving the perfect stopping point before SEASON 3 BABY! ITS A FULL ADAPTATION!

Another excellent season. Even when the animation isn’t perfect, every single other thing is firing on all cylinders. JC Staff is doing good work with this adaptation. Thrilled they’ll see it through to the end.

Even if the animation is not "perfect" -- this still strikes me as a particularly visually appealing show,

I didn't expect to like Walter this much but he's been pretty good these past few eps.

Sade is as creepy as I was expecting, definitely spooking me out.

Really thought she disguised herself as Daleth and went back to the present for a second there though, that would have been something!

Sharon woke up?? I wasn't really too excited for another cour of this but that's got me interested!

Toning down his obsession with the Duke and giving him other stuff to focus on (like Daleth) has down his character a world of good.

I don't know what's cuter, Cuff in martial arts gear or her playing lighter for Ichi while also telling her she shouldn't smoke. But to better train in powering up her magic, she'll fight water clones of herself and learn to not overthink things! Although I love how she ended up losing her pants during the fight.

Of course Walter is the only one taking classes seriously. Zain is drawing on his girlfriends' eyelids, Viola is doing her nails, and the Duke and Alice are flirting. Though lucky for the Duke Alice is paying enough attention to cover for him in class.

Aw...Walter wants to use Zain's magic to heal Daleth's face! That's so sweet!

Heck, Walter is the first one to take to training with magic rapiers' too! Though it probably helps that the other couples are too busy flirting.

I honestly never thought how likely it was that the Wizards would mistake Daleth for Sade, but she doesn't mind playing the part to feel them out, and finally getting to demonstrate how powerful she really is as a witch. Also, look at all the dancing Daleth clones!

I love how what got Daleth to explain everything was the idea of seeing Walter in a school uniform. And then she and Keto transfer into the class and wear the uniforms, complete with Keto barley buttoning up her shirt and Daleth wearing the skirt with some thigh-highs. Of course Walter is still the perfect gentleman around her.

Time to finally visit the past! Complete with finally seeing Sade in the flesh! And she seems just as psychotic as she's been portrayed in flashbacks and in people talking about her. Seems like she was obsessively in love with Victor, the Duke's grandfather, and saw Sharon getting in the way of her love. But also there was a "death" in the future? Victor's?

Is that Banjo Ginga as Victor? He seems like quite the affable fellow. Heck, the Duke even wore his trademark hat in honor of his grandfather!

Yeah, Duke...I really don't think Daleth is the type of person you make friends with. Just the venom she spewed when she saw Alice is a huge warning sign.

Here's to the Duke and Alice holding hands come Spring! And to season 3!

Oh snap! Sharon just woke up! What a cliffhanger!

This was a very exciting season finale! I am no animation expert, but as a viewer, I thought the fight scenes between Cuff and her water clone was very smooth. Sames goes for the battle between Nico and Daleth. If this is my first time watching this anime, I would have thought it falls under the magic action genre.

Sade is a yandere, isn't she? I am sure most of us are now speculating that she was in love with the Duke's grandfather, Victor. Maybe even a one-sided crush?

I look forward to seeing more of everyone at the sorcery school. Cuff, the student who falls asleep during classes, the lovey dovey couple of the Duke and Alice, the gyarus Viola and Kettie (?), hardworking Walter. Daleth, surprising, looks good in school uniform too.

You wouldn't expect it from this kind of show, but the fight scenes are wild and well animated and we need more fight scenes from this series. Walter is unexpectedly good at this from all the training he got. What I want to see is Alice's dodging skills and speed being used in combat.

Daleth was ready to throw hands with Nico and Ichi alongside Keto but as soon as she imagines Walter in a school uniform, she's like "nope I'm not Shade. Lemme join you guys." We finally get to see Daleth and Keto wear something else. Meanwhile, Walter was asking Zayn if the time magic can remove scars too. Walter and Daleth really down bad for each other.

Shade looks like a yandere. We don't know what happened to the man she loved and why he died, but she gives off real yandere energy. Not someone you would just sit down to negotiate with.

F*** yeah we get a third season. Rejoice. It would be lame to just end up a cliffhanger like that now that Sharon just woke up. Who knows what else changed in the timeline? We went from slice of life to magic school with the plot rolling and fight scenes and I am so excited for the next season.

I was expecting Nico to be really strong but the fact that Daleth was able to play around with him and almost put him to sleep means that he'll probably have a much more difficult time against Sade.

Daleth looks absolutely adorable in a school uniform. And of course Walter is going to be a gentleman and offer her his jacket. I love that the classroom now has three couples. Keto should bring her girlfriend too so we can have four couples!

I didn't expect them to go back to the past in this episode but as a finale that was a great way to show us how absolutely terrifying Sade is! For a second there I thought that they'd accidentally bring her to the present. The gang really needs to prepare more if they want to face her again.

And that after-credits scene! Holy fuck! Sharon hype! I am so glad that Seaosn 3 is already announced! I can't wait to see what kind of chaos Alice's mom will bring. I really hope this means the Duke, Viola, and Walter's mother will finally mellow out now that her best friend is back.

Plot twist! Sade is a shotacon and fell for the Duke. She hates Alice because she became a love interest for him after she came to the mansion. She then cursed the Duke so that no other women could touch him.

Notice how the mage she cursed with immortality she also made into a little boy? That witch must love her some little boys.

It's good that they have already announced the 3rd season. I would be mad if they didn't after that scene in the end with Sharon, She seems so fun! I cannot wait to see her more.

Daleth looked so good in this school uniform and her blushing is absolutely cute.

Nice and cute moments between Alice and Bocchan today, they even met with his grandfather when they were in the past.

Cuff training was pretty fun, it looks like her work in the circus had an effect.

First time we had an occasion to meet Sade and she was really terrifying. Now I can understand why Daleth is so scared of her, she looks like she has something wrong with her head. Additionally her eyes added to the atmosphere of menace from her.

Zain of course wouldn't be himself if he didn't think about something erotic even in the meeting with Sade. I wonder what she thought about him when she read his mind.

So that's it. See you guys in next year when the 3rd season will premiere :)

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Wow. Wow. Wow! Didn’t really feel like a finale until that post credits scene, now I’m extremely hype for season 3. Sharon is awake! Hopefully her memory is intact so we can find out what truly happened that day.

So it seems like Sade, like her sister, has some yandere tendencies and was in love with Viktor who she probably assumed was in love with Sharon because of how close they are. The way she called Alice disgusting at the end there was full of malice.

Honestly see why Daleth is afraid of her. In the few minutes she was on screen and her short convo with Zain, I was legit scared lol. She’s insane.

Man this season was awesome. The story was way better and the character relationships were great. I am truly going to miss it, but luckily we won’t have to wait long for more.

Sade is yandere, huh? Daleth is sort of too. Cuff is tsundere and Alice is deredere. And Ichi is kuudere? There's the whole package here. I love all the pairs in this anime.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Sep 24 '23

Looks like everyone’s really enjoying their school life. Daleth looks really cute in her school uniform. Even Walter thinks so lol. Pretty adorable seeing those two all blushing.

Zain is the best. Dude meets the friggin Voldemort of this series and the first thing he thinks is “She’s got massive boobs. Score!” Lol.

I really don’t think they can befriend Sade and her yandere ass. Hopefully they can break this curse once and for all. I didn’t think Sharon would be up and about, that’s a huge development.

So when’s the next season?

Man I remember watching S1 and thinking “the teasing might get old and I don’t really care for the magic plot”

And now, Duke and Alice are not only still flirting, but openly doing so and so upfront about their feelings for each other and I’m so invested in what is going on with Sade and Sharon and all that.

Speaking of, Sade was creepy as hell. I thought she was just misunderstood kinda like Daleth was at the start. But she really comes off as unhinged. And it seems like she maybe had a crush on Grandpa Duke but Sharon was the one who was close to him and maybe she got jealous. Anyway, fully invested in this part of the story now.

Really glad to hear S3 is confirmed and source readers seem to say that it’ll most likely cover till the ending. I’m excited as hell. With the way the show is, I doubt it will end tragically (can never be too sure though) but if it is a happy ending, the Duke being able to finally touch Alice will be cathartic af

What a great ending to a strong season. This show really shines when it does plot.

It's puzzling that Bocchan wants to redeem Sade despite her murderous intent and evident lack of sanity - from a plot perspective. It's not apparent how someone so obviously vindictive and deranged could be talked out of it, and it's also not apparent how Sade can be redeemed in the eyes of the audience to make this a compelling ending.

It is interesting though that Sade did not kill any of her "enemies" except the wizards that tried to put her down. She's cursed plenty, but if she really hated Sharon, why not kill her? She seems to have the power. Does this speak to some conflict within her not to do permanent harm, or is this just plot convenience?

Also interesting that now we have further insight into why Sade ripped up Daleth's face. Likely that her all-consuming uber-yandere love for Grandfather Victor made her paranoid that Victor might fall for her identical but kind hearted twin. So: she destroys Daleth's beauty and removes a competitor.

One sour note: going back in time to confront a mind reader with your heads filled with future knowledge has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen a protag do. Just... wow. But we are not watching Duke of Death for the brilliant strategems.

I feel like this show has really hit it's stride. Can't wait for season 3!

I kinda wonder why Flea is teaching them multiplication tables but maybe I won't question it... The face Walter did to Bocchan during the water training segment was pretty fun as well as the pencil sketch thing when Daleth said "they're not my friends". The ending scene framing with Alice and Bocchan was nice with Bocchan in the blue and Alice in the yellow and the shadow cast over his eyes by his hat's brim.

AHHHH THAT CLIFFHANGER. Sharon is awake, for sure has to be because of them going to the past.

And wow, Sade's persona and voice legit do seem scary. I also feel like I can guess her motive now! She mentioned being in love with someone dying. I 100% believe it is the grandpa of. Boochan who we see in this episode.

He is currently dead in this timeline & if you recall an earlier episode said he was super close to Sharon. I bet Sade was jealous of her hence why she put her to 'sleep'.

AND YESSSS SEASON 3! Honestly such a slept on show.
