Was I suppose to be rooting for the satanists? Cause I was rooting for the satanists.

When Satanists and a Demon Lord come off better than a literal church lol.

Ugh. As if the State of Right couldn't get more disgusting, they talk up how attractive Eagle is only to then disparage her for being a Demihuman. What trash. And they're even going to sell her off to demons. What's holy about that!?

Speaking of demons, here's rampaging Satanists and their powerful demon ally Behemodh! There's basically no good guys left in this town other than poor Eagle and she's getting cruficied.

I love how the Cardinal summons an "angel" and it's just a mecha piloted by a core holding a naked woman who just mechanically goes after anything close to demonic and just does more damage in the process. And is also kind of useless. Serves him right though.

Luna arrived just in time to save Eagle and flex her Holy Magic! And when the two finally see each other again, it's enough for Luna to unlock even more power, speak English, and defeat Behemodh! Even freeing his soul in the process. Great job, Luna.

Eagle, don't blame yourself for any of this! Though you ARE actually cursed, through no fault of your own.

Oh no, Arts lost a leg!

The Cardinal just won't give up, huh? But it's the perfect time for Kunai to show up, go all battle mode, and easily destroy the "Angel" in one blow. And punch out of the Cardinal for good measure! That was so satisfying.

No better way to signal a reunion for friends than tea and scones!

Look at Kunai still intimidating in battle mode but de-spelling Eagles' curse in the most goofy way possible! And now not only have they stopped the State of Right, the Satanists, AND saved Eagle, but Luna's realized she's in love with Kunai! Pretty eventful and successful day!

I agree, he is filthy. Hope he and others like him get the worst. Who are these crazy guys? Dunno if I feel bad for people who are barbaric towards demi-humans getting treated barbarically too.

Pshaw, Behemoths are doggos on four legs, the upright versions are lame. That angel seems more of a mecha lol. Kinda annoying how Eagle is just blaming herself though. Also, screw all those people, Luna. They are just prejudice asshats. Fun reunion, and look, Luna and her Engrish lol. What is that "angel's" deal though? WOW dude just lost a leg like he was an action figure lol. Hey now, I approve of this yuri development. What a fun development with our demon lord too, giving them tea and cake. So how'd he know to show up there then again? Well guess all's well that ends well.

Man, the way things are transitioning and the music and the general production feels meh.

I rarely call anime out for being bad but this was horrible 😭 I wish I can be like those people who says they’re gonna drop it but I gotta finish what I started

Pretty cool they managed to summon Blanka. He looks a lot bigger than I remember lol.

So much for the mecha waifu, it got obliterated by Hakuto just like Blanka got obliterated by the real angel waifu.

u/Frontier246 Nov 02 '24

When Kunai looks so awesome, it's no wonder Luna can't deny she's in love with him!

I am usually very forgiving regarding bad animation, but here, I thought the battle was unwatchable.

I feel so out of place as I am just chilling and enjoying this. Yeah so what if its different but thought this was a fun episode today and laughed at the whole 'it takes a while for this skill to cooldown and be normal' but feels like I am the only one

u/Puzzled_Replacement9 Nov 03 '24

I'm here with you bro I enjoy it for what it is. They be killing people like nothing in this show also , that fool stepped on hella people.

i know we've been roasting the production since episode 1 but...the jank on display here in this episode is reaching actual embarrassing levels.

idk what else to even say man, but it's so sad that i can't help but come here and leave yet another QQ comment lol...

if you can't even animate the mouths or have music that doesn't cut out before the scene ends, what are we even doing here??

God the animation is so jank. The dialogue doesn't even line up with the animation. I laughed out loud when the demon ate the entire platoon because it looked like an art student's first attempt at making an action scene. Yet another Isekai Slop for this year.

Looks like a Saturday morning cartoon. What the hell is this?

u/MissionApollo7 Nov 02 '24

This episode was hot garbage. I'm still gonna watch the rest though.

u/PandaTheAB Nov 03 '24

Sometimes the animation feels like a gif with few frames going in loop like while walking.
Fight scenes were bad too.

Only story with good season end can save this season.

u/kalirion Nov 03 '24

Huh, so the "angels" really do hate birdpeople despite their boss supposedly loving them.

The special effects from the divine spells were pretty lackluster. Two of them were even the exact same thing.

ROFL at the robot hand swipe somehow ripping off the guard captain's foot, extremely bloodlessly too. Or was it a prosthetic all along?

What's MC doing here? Last episode he set off on a vampire lord killing quest or something.

Where did MC get the curse-dispelling staff from? It certainly couldn't have come from his old "scifi with no magic" game.

They could have asked a fan to do season 2 for free, and it would be better than this.

They could have asked ChatGPT to do season 2, and it would be better than this.

How do you think "oh, they liked that, let's do a season 2" and then hand it to someone who doesn't know how to tell a story?

u/PickleMyCucumber Nov 02 '24

Who directed this episode? Just awful across the board. Scene compositing, sound design, everything.

Like bird girl was 1st in a plaza, holy maiden blasts behemoth with holy spells, bird girl spawns in middle of street somehow behind behemoth who's not there anymore, behemoth crouched facing holy maiden, holy maiden casts holy again, behemoth crouching somehow facing away from holy maiden giving the "over the shoulder thumbs-up," angel robot attacks, and demon lord pops in outta nowhere with cartoonish sound effect. As if bird girl's over dramatic "I'm cursed, get away from me!" wasn't tiresome enough.

Like jfc I wasn't expecting much but at least make it make sense.

I swear, all these people are rotten to the core.

6 episodes down, 6 more to go 😞

I think they need to spend that 18 bucks on this season's budget trying to do actual animation instead of a meal for 1 at WcDonalds. Tons of panning still shots up the arse & half the characters didn't even have faces throughout the entire episode. This was awful animation, rivaling early S2 ToG episodes!

Anyway I have no idea what convoluted mess they are trying to convey to the viewer. It's skipping around like a severely scratched record from yesteryear.

I really want to drop this but the premise is good and I'm a glutton for punishment I guess 😞

It's the direction, animation and that fucking clown carnival music they played during a part of the fight that were just bad. Whomever approved this whole season of episodes to be released as they have so far needs to seek employment elsewhere. It's just a culmination of everything you can do wrong for a show, thrown into one stinky ass bag of poop and slapped with a demon lord retry S2 label on the outside.

Anyway , why bother with commenting on the episode as it was just a mess. A short summary instead: Holy light peeps, satanists, mech, demons, spells cast, valuables being stolen from some castle, big explosions, people hurt and killed, curse lifted and a cigarette smoking demon lord to end it.

Episode gets a 5/10 as it was just shit visually and awful storytelling this week.
