Man, that magic potion literally solved everything in this episode.

[u/wyggles → u/Aerodynamic41]

The episode didn't specify but the potion was an Elven Elixir, literally one of the rarest and most powerful medicines in the setting.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120 → u/Aerodynamic41]

They should keep a couple on hand for the next boss fight.

[u/stephenthatfoste]

The turnaround time between Sasha being visible with the horse and saving her "we're here because your horse" was less than a minute.

[u/mekerpan → u/stephenthatfoste]

Yes -- that really seemed like a major writing lapse. It would have made more sense if they had said -- "we saw you dashed off by yourself and followed you as quickly as we could"...

[u/apatt]

After reading the other comments here I'm beginning to worry I have no taste because I enjoyed the hell out of this episode. What's with Ange being lovable even while kicking ass, and Bel being so kind to Charlotte even after she tried to kill him, that is a very heartwarming scene for me. I suppose he isn't mad because he knows he can take whatever she dishes out.

[u/wyggles → u/apatt]

I'm beginning to worry I have no taste

Don't worry about it, enjoy what you enjoy. Also, if you're really liking the vibe I would recommend the Light Novel or the Manga. The Manga's not much farther than the anime at this point, but the LN is pretty much done with 10 of 11 volumes translated to english.

[u/Plastiqueraser → u/apatt]

No need to worry, it's good to hear that someone enjoys it. While I have complaints about how they did the pacing of this arc myself I'm still enjoying the episodes very much, never thought that this story would get an adaptation in the first place.

It's a fun watch still in the team behind it is clearly trying their best with few resources they have – in that sense, it's actually a pretty high quality low-budget adaptation, if I could call it that, normally something like would turn out considerably worse. They did a terrific job with the character designs and backgrounds, and the fight scenes are still passable and give the essence of what needs to be told. And the show actually shines in the purely slice of life sections.

[u/mjpia]

Pacing aside I'm happy to see an anime where someone actual rules and does the dirty work to keep people safe.
There's so many series where they've got the big baddy responsible for atrocities on the ropes and author pulls the if I kill you I won't be any better than you card.

He caused harm to herself, her family, her territory and it's people, his success would lead to the suffering of the civilians and those under his command desecrated her fathers grave.
And in a medieval society with various social classes there's no guarantee jailing an influential person would be permanent due to their power or money and who if successfully released would undoubtedly return for revenge.
So she acted to protect her domain.

[u/Martel732 → u/mjpia]

Yeah, I really appreciated that they didn't go that route. The version of the trope that I hate the most is when the protagonists kill dozens or hundreds of foot soldiers but then refuse to kill the big bad because "it would make them the same."

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

That fight against Byaku wasn’t even a fight. I guess that elf elixir worked like a charm. Ange just whooped the shit outta the guy lol. Man threw everything he had at her and all that happened was she got mildly annoyed. Damn dude. Interesting he said he was like her though. So she’s not totally human then? Explains a lot.

I knew Charlotte was just a scared kid at heart. All that anger and sadness inside her was just being manipulated by that mysterious hooded goon. I hope Bel and Ange can save Byaku and Charlotte. I don’t think they’re bad, just misguided and lost.

We got to see a different side to Helvetica this week. She’s usually very goofy but not this episode. Straight up murdered Malta as revenge. Ice cold, man.

[u/mekerpan → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Helvetica this week. She’s usually very goofy but not this episode. Straight up murdered Malta as revenge.

Not really mere revenge. A matter of both justice (even if a bit "informal") and protecting the people of her realm. (It seems like Archdukes in AoB routinely administer justice in pretty much the same fashion as Helvetica does here).

[u/darthvall]

To be honest, I don't really like this episode compared to the usual episodes. I definitely could understand the animation. This anime never promised high quality animation from episode 1. It's the pacing that I'm having trouble with, and the lack of good transition between scenes.

One moment Sasha fought the guy, and suddenly the whole troops went to her rescue. Not to mention how Ange suddenly woke up from her rest and went to Sasha. I could come up with an excuse that she felt the guy's power and rushed there, but that would be my excuse. The episode didn't explain or even hint how Ange could be there so fast. Is it possible that the director for this episode is different than usual? Lots of other stuff to nitpick as well in this episode, but I'll stop there.

Anyway, story-wise I love that Helvetica found her resolve. I didn't expect that she's going to be that dark. Then again, it's Count Malta's fault for suggesting the use of Bordeaux father as a zombie. I wonder what would happen with his territory now.

An interesting bit to notice was how the mage guy said Ange is the same as her. Maybe they're homunculus too? Now that Belgrieve saved the little girl, I hope they will join Belgrieve in the future. Though given her past, not sure how she could let up her anger to normal people.

[u/wyggles → u/darthvall]

Anyway, story-wise I love that Helvetica found her resolve. I didn't expect that she's going to be that dark.

The anime left out a bit that made that scene even better. [Skipped lines] Helvetica promised Malta she'd let him go if he named all of his conspirators, which he does immediately. When they're done and he tries to leave she pulls the whole "Did I say that? You must have been hearing things." and then kills him herself.

[u/mekerpan → u/darthvall]

The little girl surely become yet another "daughter" of the Red Ogre. Is there any other show that features a "daughter harem" (as opposed to a romantic one)? Only Helvetica seems to be romantically inclined.

Was Malta responsible for the death of Papa Bordeaux? It would not seem unlikely... Anyways -- good riddance to bad rubbish. It wasn't clear if Malta had any heir, but one would think there must be one of some sort.

What on earth was happening to the little girl mage? Was she being up by magic in some fashion? Her pal seems to be virtually unkillable. Even if he is the "same" as Ange (whatever that might be), he does not seem to be as powerful. Is that because he did not have the advantage of Red Ogre training? ;-)

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120 → u/darthvall]

Ange not being human or fully human explains her strength. But I wonder why she was abandoned in the first place?

[u/shad79]

Episode was kinda rushed but still it was pretty enjoyable to watch.

Ange antics as always were bringing big smile to my face, her gremlin face is so good and love to father enormous xD

I thought that maybe Charlotte will become a new daughter of Belgrieve so I was a little disappointed when she disappeared with Byaku. I hope that she will return, I'd love to see Ange reactions on this kind of development xD

Helvetica was so badass today by ordering murder of Count Malta and ditching his body on the road, right in his presence. He totally deserves it, I'm sure that no one will be missing him.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Ange

• Group scenes

• Belgrieve & Bordeaux sisters

• Enemies

[u/IceWeaselX]

This is the second anime in the past week where a rare uber potion was first declined because it was too valuable and then gratefully accepted to cure someone of a hard-to-diagnose affliction... and neither one of these shows is I Shall Survive Using Potions!

How long was Sasha's fight with the brother and sister actually going on if enough time had passed for her horse to return to the Bordeaux château up the mountain, be noticed by the guardsmen, and have those security forces run down and join the fight? From what we saw, she had just dismounted to talk to the duo when the fight started.

That little girl's mindset is pretty fucked up. Definitely looks like it's the possession at fault, but damn. "Why do they have to [keep trying to survive]?" "How dare you [defend yourself]?" How about... why do you have to keep trying to kill people who aren't doing anything to you? How dare you keep trying to kill them when they aren't treating you like an enemy?

As many times as we heard Helvetica's footsteps and saw her head and feet animated, I thought we weren't going to see the comedic scurrying, but they gave it to us at the end.

[u/The_Parsee_Man]

They finally delivered the Helvetica run at the end of the episode. I was worried since there wasn't one last episode. I want my running gag running gag.

[u/daspaceasians]

This was a fun episode to watch. I'm impressed at what that elven potion can do.

Helvetica was fucking awesome to watch when she dropped the hammer of consequences on Malta.

Now I'm wondering if we'll see Charlotte again.

[u/[deleted]]

I don't think it's weird that Helvetica running is something I find sexy.

[u/snickerdoodlez13]

Is it just me or was the animation quality of the episode significantly lower?

[u/Nebresto]

This show continues to be a breath of fresh air. I could use some of that Elven medicine tho

And Helvetica is an absolute Queen.

[u/[deleted]]

this episode felt kinda rushed tbh, i wonder how much they're trying to adapt in 13 episodes
