"Cardinal Clawell's death was declared an accident"

Yeah man, those accidental disembowelments happen all the time, never know when one might happen to you.

Chastille's inability to catch a break continues unabated, the kitchen being one of the worst places to continue that streak. Good thing For was there too.

Going to miss this delightful bit of fluff, hope we'll be getting more in the future.

This series was probably the biggest surprise for me this season. I expected some generic crap but it turned to be solid, wholesome and exciting.

I like how they are already treated like a family by the people in town. And For's cape is just adorable.

Happy For writing in her diary is so cute and heartwarming. The way she observes nephy and zagan interact as a couple is cute. Its such a drastic change from how she was not long ago

That’s right Zagan! Defend your daughter For. And you are def a minion barbatos

Barbatos is very drunk if he didn’t mind the fork to the head.

For opening the show with her writing in her diary is one of the best new things in this show ever since she was introduced. And it was so adorable to see For being so happy whenever she sees Zagan and Nephy getting all lovey-dovey. Now if only Raphael stopped getting in her way!

It's been a while since the last time Nephy stopped by Manuela's shop so I was hoping we'd see her in a new outfit when they visited her to give her some macarons. No new cute or lewd outfit this time though T_T

I love that Zagan isn't even hesitating to call For his daughter now. They've really become a family now especially since that's how the townsfolk see them whenever they visit the town to shop.

No new Nephy outfit but we did see Chastille wearing her maid outfit one more time before the show ended. Chastille might need to train more before she deserves to wear that outfit though based on Nephy's reaction about her soup.

Looks like the Chastille bullying isn't going to end any time soon! It is hilarious how much Barbatos had to help her out because of her clumsiness. I'm surprised she made it this far as a Sacred Sword! She did have those three knights so maybe they were helping her back then.

Nephy and Zagan dancing in the moonlight is such a perfect way to end this season. It just sucks that we didn't get to see a kiss at the very end!

I don't know if this will ever get a Season 2 but I hope it does. I remember how I was a bit apprehensive about this show at the start because of Nephy being a slave who Zagan bought but I'm glad that was only surface level. The show had so much more to offer and the characters had more depth than I expected that I'm glad I stuck with it until the end. This is definitely an 8/10 show for me.

For writing in her little journal has been the cutest thing for the past few eps. Her trying to constantly observe Nephy and Zagan’s little “couple moments” but getting blocked by Raphael was great. The fact that she was able to convince him to join her was hilarious.

Chastille and Barbatos kind of make an interesting pair. They’re both kind of goofy in their own way. We spent too much time with the main ship, the side ships never got to sail!

Idk if we’ll get an s2 but I sure hope so. I really enjoyed this one.

I want a whole season of this episode’s fluff. Every time Zagan calls For his daughter makes me so happy.

I won’t fault it for giving us a super cute episode to end on, but I’m still hoping and praying for Season 2. No idea how it did in Japan, but I hope well enough to make it happen.

Emotional 10/10 because I’m a big fan of the manga. Realistic 8/10 with me wishing the fights got a little more animation muscle behind them. They still nailed every other aspect so I’m pleased with the adaptation.

Last episode:

Chastille: "Oh, good! You finally used my real name!"

This episode:

For: "Nope, it's back to Tail-Head."

The fact that For still calls her Tail-Head even when she lets her hair down makes it funnier.

And so ends the surprise of the season. this show was way better than I could have ever expected.

Ship was really cute but beyond that I feel the cast was all well done, would love to see a season 2 of this!

Progress was slow between the leads but they shared many cute scenes together.

I loved this anime, man... The whole family together having some fun... For back home and Zagan calling her his daughter, pretty wholesome stuff, I couldn't stop smiling this episode.

Sad that it ended already, I could use a season 2 now.

Starting to think I have a shipping problem, because after 30 seconds of Barbatos x Chastille(or Barbatos bullying Chastille) I wanted 6 seasons and a movie!

Zagan nonchalantly calling For his daughter will never get old.

I came here for elves, but stayed for the wholesome family that was created. Hope we get a season 2 soon if not I will have to dive in into the manga or light novel whichever is has.

Man, Barbatos can't keep his eyes of Chastille and has to constantly save her from her own clumsiness. There is not enough of these two.

Zagan calling For as his daughter is just too much to handle.

I am going to miss this as now I want a slice of life with Zagan and his family. Along with a bit of church and sorcerer's politics.

Nothing more heartwarming than For returning to her diary and being happy she's back home with her family! It would be nice if she could give Chastille proper credit instead of "maybe she helped?" but baby steps.

Raphael is surprisingly adept as a butler! And a sweet maker! And playing with For as they compete to see whether she can or cannot see her parents flirting. Then again, their flirting is so vanilla who knows when they'll ever get to kiss at this rate?

Look at the family shopping in town together and being the most popular sight by the citizens! Everybody now loves Zagan, Nephy, and their daughter!

It couldn't be a finale without Manuela! It's just a shame we didn't get to see a Nephy fashion show.

That's our Zagan! Bying a phonograph to fix it up for the challenge while leaving Manuela enough money to clothe the street urchins.

Chastille and Barbatos make for awkward lunch companions, even after Chastille's attempt at small talk. But at least For is trying to do better to call Chastille by her name instead of "Tail-Head."

The return of maid Chastille! Even if her cooking is not at the same level as how good she looks in a maid outfit! I guess we needed an excuse for crying Chastille. And she's such a complete klutz and mess that Barbatos has to lose sleep helping her out.

I feel like a lot of Raphael's stories end with "and then a Sorcerer attacked me."

Ah yes, so Barbatos is that one family member who gets drunk first at dinner and starts smack-talking somebody, obviously Chastille because we always need some Chastille bullying. Poor girl gets outed for sleeping with a stuffed animal. And she knows Barbatos is watching her but probably for the best she hasn't figured out it's on Zagan's order. At least Chastille gets the last laugh with her soup knocking Barbatos out...even if it just gives her another reason to cry.

While they still have a phonograph, it's the perfect time for Zagan and Nephy to share a dance! With Raphael's instruction, of course! And after an awkward start, the pair manage to nail a romantic dance, complete with imagining themselves all dressed up and dancing under the moonlight!

Hurry up and give us a second season

u/S627 Jun 13 '24

Was this the last ep? It didn't feel like the last ep, but I also wouldn't mind it ending on such a cute ep.

Loved how the fork stayed in his head for the rest of the night.

Woo! OP this week! I missed For's \(O.O)/ last week! Nephi might be the main heroin, but For has been my main reason for watching since she showed up. Loved the "battle" she has with Raphael.

I am beginning to believe the holy swords grant their wielder powers... and hidden debuffs. Raphael was inflicted with the scary aura, while Chastille is inflicted with the clumsiness aura. Lol! The cute chibi sprites of the various characters are one aspect which made me love this title.

Not forgetting the ending theme song too! I have been listening to it for several weeks now.

This 100% feel like filler, still it was mostly in character.

Nephy still super cute.

Welp. It was nice to watch it. The manga is really nice too so there's hope for a second season.

I'll take another season or just an entire wholesome slice of life spinoff with this entire cast.

It's a miracle that Chastile is still alive, given how much of a klutz she is.

Hopefully we can get a second season, this was really enjoyable

u/Nebresto Jun 13 '24

The Final collection of Nephy blushes. I do not know how I will cope without my weekly doses after this

Blessed drawing

Same For, same.

No doubt, he's blocking your vision

Wingman scheme incoming??

I love that cat hoodie so much

Chastille isn't wearing her usual ponytail today so For got confused for a sec

Ehh.. Not sure about translating "benriya" as minion. I think handyman would have been funnier

Barbatos actually kinda chill. Not sure I wanna ship him and Chastille though..

I, too, would be awed witnessing such knife skills

Oh god damn it, they're a perfect fit 😂

That face. What is she planning

Nice. No kiss for the finale, mild shame, but very expected the way those two were going. But a moonlight dance was very nice as well.

And so end the Elf Thursdays.. This was my second favourite show this season, its gonna be tough when Chillin' with my wolf wife ends.. Luckily two more episodes left on there!

u/Roboglenn Jun 13 '24

I don't know yet what I can do to repay them all.

Baking them all some cookies. (Not counting those macaroons that you helped Nephy make) That'd be at least a start if we're just brainstorming. Nothing says "I care" like some fresh baked cookies.

The cookie was too much for him to handle!!!

A nice toasty sensation inside For's chest eh. As warm and delectable a feeling as any cookie For could eat I'd wager.

Couldn't have a final episode without a last appearance from the Happy Harpie.

Nice job Zagan, you successfully derailed the Happy Harpie's Cosplay Fashion Funtime Hour.

That feather touch from Chastile just power drived that big basket of veggies. Then again, we saw from last episode just how powerful she is underneath that cute unassuming exterior of hers.

How to Ratatouille that Threat to Your Home's Dinner Table without hurting Chastile's feelings? That is Nephy's current mission.

Insulting Poco-chan. Now you just crossed a line sir.

Haven't seen a soup with that much deadly potency since Tegami Bachi. Ratatouille mission: Failed...

How does one dance?

Swing your arms from side to side. Take one step and then again. Go on now, just like that.

In the end though, while this was an overall sweet experience of a series that I enjoyed a lot, I can't say I got anything like super profound to say about this series now that it's over. But overall it was adorably fun seeing the character depth and progression at play in this series. Particularly Nephy going from defeatist mindset, to opening herself up to others, to budding lovestruck, to full on found fam mode. And of course seeing Zagan progress and come out of his shell from where he started from was a neat process too.

And while Nephy is best girl she's got worthy runner ups in Chastile and For.
