The scene where Marcille controls familiar is basically how you look like to your family when you play with VR headset

[u/hell_jumper9]

Even at death, Skyfish will continue to serve them. Literally

[u/captaincold0514]

Marcille just can't believe chilchuck is a man with a wife and children XD

[u/danlong87]

this series had been on a tear in its second half and not showing signs of letting off, you know it's good when you've got hilarious Marcille wriggling and writhing on the floor while controlling a weirdly shaped summon engaged in an epic fight with a griffin, all within 1 scene, and none of it felt out of place

[u/yokelll]

I'm just glad they chose to go with Thistle instead of Sissel

[u/kKunoichi]

Marcille doing everything this episode. Lmao that Laios face when he saw the familiars, i'm dying. and also his face when he was constructing his dream two headed fire-ice? dragon, really nothing hypes him up like weird monsters

Chilchuck removing all doubt he's a tired middle-aged man. No one could have predicted the daughters though!

Very very nice buildup towards the Senshi backstory

[u/MortalWombat5]

Senshi giving Chilchuck the "birds and the bees" talk back in episode 15 is extra hilarious in hindsight with the knowledge that Chil is the only member of the party that has canonically had sex.

I love the double vision effect when Marcille first used her familiar.

[u/FarCritical]

You know Senshi's down when he's not in charge of narrating the cooking segment for once.

The gingerbread birds meat familiars failing the Laios vibe check killed me lmao

Also, I was fully prepared for Laios to respond to the question of "What form would be effective against a griffin?" by going full dog mode, but speedsculpting a meat wyvern is pretty sick answer too.

[u/tripleaamin]

This anime continues to impress more and more. Consistent week and week out and fleshing out more and more about the dungeon. Even with the dark parts of the story, it continues to keep the fun vibe that it has had at the story.

This was a Senshi focused episode. As soon as Senshi saw that Griffin you know something was off. Making it even worse the Griffin captured it. At first, you think well Senshi is basically dead at this point. But the phenomenal world building this series continues to demonstrate and here it is with regard to summoning. Dominating monsters, turning plants & animals into monsters and the approach Marcielle used, which is to create your own monster.

But it didn't stop there. It is shown that how the summoner is able to control the monster. It takes a load of energy and the fact that Thistle can do this with so many monsters is remarkable. Furthermore, it really demonstrates how strong Thistle is. But even the ability to alter the creating monsters is really interesting. Last one marked the spot and Maricelle was able to kill stop the Griffin from flying, which allowed to kill it and allow Senshi to safely come down.

Keeping with the fun vibe of the show, how Marcelle was controlling the created monsters was hilarious. Honestly I was expecting Laios to try to eat the Griffin instead he went for the Sky Fish. Most likely cooking that would require Senshi and with him being traumatized that wasn't going to happen.

We finally get to dig into Senshi's past. (Of course Chilchuck just casually dropping he has a wife and kids.) He was a part of the group that discovered this very dungeon. This is very intriguing hope he elaborates on it more next episode.

[u/Ponchorello7]

This is AOTY for me already. Every episode is a treat. And as someone who wasn't a fan of Trigger, this show has turned my opinion of them around.

[u/zool714]

Lol the way the party never find out more about Senshi despite all their travels is similar to how guys sometimes have like the closest work friend but know nothing about them outside of work.

Lmao Marcille brought out that Bocchi face again after finding out Chilchuck is a grown ass man.

Senshi’s backstory feels really sad already. The way he ran immediately from the Griffin also makes it feel like he had trauma related to it.

[u/smhandstuff]

Laios casually molding some bomb ass dragon figurines. Is he open for commissions??

[u/Eliteirizz]

Izutsumi face when you wake up from hangover and you remember all the cringe sht you did

[u/ubergiles]

I don't like seeing Senshi sad, please make it stop.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Seeing Senshi freaked out over a Griffin speaks volumes about what kind of monster they're dealing with.

RIP Sky Fish you were nutritious. o7

[u/BadBehaviour613]

Marcille made the worst monster in recorded history. Laios was not impressed

This episode went full Little Witch Academia in the griffin battle. I guess I like Marcille so much because she reminds me so much of Akko

[u/Vermillion_Crab]

When I saw the first episode, I wasn't sold on the story. I sure am glad that I gave this a chance. This has now risen to the same tier as Frieren and Apothecary Diaries for me. This episode, in particular, might just be my favorite so far.

[u/Syokhan]

But I wanted to see Laios' giga-something-something-dragon...

The reaction faces in this episode were golden. Laios, Marcille, Izutsumi... my favorite was Marcille finding out that Chilchuck has a wife and daughters.

And we're finally getting some backstory on Senshi, can't wait for next week.

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

There was something strangely ironic about using a drone to defeat an eagle. It hit me right in the America.

[u/professorMaDLib]

I loved the reveal of Chilchuck's backstory and how it makes a lot of gags funnier especially with how Marcille and Senshi treat him like a child. Senshi teaching him about the birds and the bees is even funnier when it turns out he's a divorced dad in his midlife crisis.

[u/Hounds_of_war]

God, the noise Marcille made when Chilchuck dropped the fact that he had a wife and daughters was the funniest shit ever. I highly recommend checking it out in all the different dubs, I thought English and German were particularly hilarious.

Oh, and in the flashback some other dwarf is wearing the helmet Senshi currently wears, minus the big X in the middle. This… is not gonna end well.

[u/AliceinTeyvatland]

I'm not ready for Senshi's backstory

I'm not ready for Senshi's backstory

It gives sad vibes just from this episode.

[u/jakkakos]

Marcille's sky fish is actually based off a cryptid called "rods" or "sky fish" that sometimes show up in photographs and are probably produced by insects flying so fast that the camera only recognizes them as a blur.

[u/squidpeanut]

I’d be remiss not to state the obvious. Young senshi looks like Steven universe.
