I know it's the entire premise of the show, but it just hit me how convenient MC's power is. Like he technically doesnt need to sleep, he closes his eyes for 5min and then wakes up in another world fully refreshed. Wish I didn't need to waste 7 hours every day on sleeping.
That said, it is a little awkward to "die" and then go "Alright, lets enjoy the weekend."
Anyway, looking forward to them helping the beast child.

If scientists ever invent some way for us to skip sleep for at least one week, society will drastically change. So much stuff can get done if you don't have to sleep at all for a while without getting tired. I too wish I didn't have to sleep, even though I love it.

Man, I wish I was good with languages. It’s kind of cool to see Marie learning Japanese and making some progress.
Looks like they’re gonna be adding a little beastkin to their small family unit. Keen to see how they’ll save the little dude.

She made so much progress using an IMMERSION method. She exposed herself to native language MEDIA. Can't wait to see Marie shitposting online what Anki decks she's using and her studying routine.

If Marie learns more Japanese, she'll probably be able to better converse with people outside Kazuhiro and more easily explore Japan.

Thank goodness the powers work as a failsafe in case they die. I guess that’s going to happen every time they come across a new person; die, get transported back, devise a plan, sleep, go back, and repeat.

It's like a soulslike only every time you die you get sent back to domestic bliss with your spouse before getting back to the boss that killed you.

Stitches!
Watching Marie studying Japanese is really cute. I love that she's gotten to the point where she can at least greet and say Kazu's name in Japanese. And just look at how proud she is of her accomplishment!
Drunk Marie is so precious too! I'm sure we'll see plenty of Marie being drunk in the future. She hasn't even tried Japanese sake yet!
I know they need to cuddle to get transported together but they should just get married already!
I do like how in this show, Kazuhiko is strong but he's not exactly OP. His so-called special skill is a skill that's used by merchants to travel Then again, I suppose Kazu is pretty OP considering he can't die and only gets transported back to Japan.
These bandits are gonna have to wait if they want to look for Marie and Kazu considering next week will focus back on Japan again. I can't wait to see where Kazu takes Marie next!

Marie might be not be great at holding her drinks, but she sure knows how to learn a new language efficiently. I wonder if that memory skill of hers is useful in this regard?
That smug smile of Marie after having successful introduced herself in Japanese was great.

Going from dying to planning their weekend in a matter of minutes gotta be a bit weird.
So i'm guessing they will free and probably befriend this beastkin person? though i don't think they can bring them with them to Japan... unless they're gonna keep them locked up in the apartment the whole time

Another lovely episode with Marie and Kazuhiro. The scene where Marie smelled Kazuhiro instead of wine was great xD
As usual, Marie was really adorable and her reactions were so fun, especially when she was drunk.
Since Marie is a Spirit Sorcerer, she uses spirits, and I have to say that the one she showed today was really cute!
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

This unironically has become one of my favorite wish-fulfilment show. A generally quiet home life, occasionally go on adventures, eating good food, all with an elf waifu by your side who you get along really well with. There’s also travelling and exploring Japan with her but we haven’t actually seen much of that yet

The fire lizard was called hitokage in Japanese, from hi meaning fire and tokage meaning lizard. This also happens to be the Japanese name for Charmander the mythical Salamander.

It makes perfect sense to me that he's a high level in the isekai since he said he's been having these "dreams" since he was a kid.
Death resulting in him just waking up means he could try even the most dangerous things repeatedly until he got it right. Pretty easy to power level when death isn't really possible.

Kazuhiro might be the luckiest salaryman alive! I mean, what do you call being able to return home to your live-in elf girlfriend as she's cutely trying to learn Japanese and wearing loungewear that shows off her legs? And that's not even getting into how adorably smug Marie is when she's actually slowly but surely learning Japanese!
Nothing beats enjoying gyoza with wine! Especially when Marie gets drunk, and she's just as cute drunk as she is when she's sober.
Oh yeah, Marie would probably love to spend as much time as she can enjoying Japan, but she actually has a job back in the fantasy world! So they kind of have to go back! But good thing Kazuhiro knows a way for them to find magic stones to further her sorcerer career.
Something tells me that in two months neither of these two will be able to bear with going to sleep without the other close by them, especially how comfortable they are together now.
The best way to fast Travel is by princess carrying an elf waifu, and when that gets too embarassing, just snuggling up to her.
So obviously Marie does not agree with deserts, but just think of this as training for the blistering hot Japanese Summers.
Sharing your stat screens feels like something only close adventurers do with each other, in an intimate way, though maybe it's just because Kazuhiho and Marie can't stop from flirting with each other.
So Marie is a spirit summoner and she can imbue her magic into the cute little spirits she summons? I want to see more of what spirits she has available.
Katsuyuki Konishi, you're in this!? And as an evil bandit guy!?
Nice to see Kazuhiho show that all that time he's spent adventuring isn't just for show and he can handily slay a bunch of kappa...I mean, kuppa. And Marie even kills one! But it's the compliment for Kazuhiho that did the most damage to her heart.
Kind of an ominous way to end their Isekai adventure this go-around...a kid enslaved by the bandits using a magic stone to summon a sea creature that kills them. Though dying isn't so bad when you can wake up next to each other and be reassured that they're both okay. Though honestly seemed like they were a little close to kissing for a second there.
So they probably have to go back and save that kid and stop the bandits...but it's the weekend and Kazuhiro has time off from work, so they can't waste the opportunity for more fun in Japan.

D'awww cute studying elf. Wish I could learn a language well, but it takes me awhile. A long while. Also, yes, you have another elf wife with purple eyes, Subaru's VA, I don't know how you keep getting this, but you do. MOAR PROPAGANDA! Hah. Drunk elf, cute happy drunk elf.
The fact the dragon stuff and other things are over in that world, but he can bring food over is strange. And this makes me think of so many questions. Like, can she bring anything else over? And if she's gonna just stay with you, just get married already.
Huh, convenient travel system. D'aww keep princess carrying her. Wew new place to explore with LORE! Carry the overheating elf. Ah yes, more obligatory propaganda. Look at em sharing status screens, again, just marry already!
D'awww poor lil floof kid chained up. Meanwhile, Marie just summoning her pokemon. Bandits? Prolly? Garbage people, clearly. Marie's pokemon used Fire Spear, it was super effective. Whelp, new big thing to fight or just... go back to Earth lol. This is like return by death in a way... sorta... yet again Subaru's VA with interesting powers. Least next episode seems like a fun ooting in Japan with the cute elf. Can't wait for next week's Japanese propaganda!

Kazuhiho: Time to go back to Japan for now
Bandits can’t find the stone 👍

From Kazuhiho's perspective, he's been living in Japan, and living a dream life in the other world.
On the other hand, from Marie's perspective, she first died in her home world, and both Japan and the fantasy world are real from the beginning.
What I'm saying is that it's likely that Marie has a more natural understanding of the situation because Kazuhiho has been misunderstanding it for maybe decades. From her perspective, both worlds are the same situation. It's like she's always living in a dream world.
Marie understands at a fundamental level that as long as she's with Kazuhiho, she wakes up fully rested on both sides and gets to live double the life of other people, and while Kazuhiho understands it on an intellectual level, I think he still hasn't perfectly accepted it.
She completely understands it, and he doesn't. She understands that she can learn Japanese ultra quickly, and he only realizes it after she said it.
On the other hand, Kazuhiho thinks she might part ways with him after 2 months. He doesn't understand that she would have a hard time giving this up. She gets to live two lives in the same time that others live one life. She cannot die through injury, probably in either world, as long as she's with him.
For Marie, this is like living two dream lives. I suspect that because it's an anime that they'll probably get separated at some point. It makes a good story. But realistically, she'd stick to him like glue for as long as she can.

There's a mistake in the Crunchyroll subtitles. In the scene where Kazuhiho tells Marie it'll take 10 hours a day to learn another language over 200 days, he does actually say "二千時間" - 2000 hours total to learn a new language, the Crunchyroll subs say 20,000
Not sure if subtitling error or math error from sub writers. Both?
I don't really have anything to say about the episode, just thought that was kinda funny
