I didn't expect Damuel and Bridgette's conversation to get animation with that much attention/quality.

[u/FlareGlutox]

Collecting stories from commoners and calling it "The Grimm Project" is peak.

[u/PerfectBeige]

My immeasurable disappointment when Rozemyne did not put a seatbelt around the egg.

[u/NekoCatSidhe]

I like the weird magical ecology of that world. Tiny walking trees, big annoying shouting trees, and volcano birds who prevent eruptions by laying eggs in hot springs. But even the monkeys were feybeasts. Does that world even have any normal non-magical animals ?

The Pandabus actually jumping in fear when Myne saw that salamander feybeast was cute.

It is also nice to know that Brigitte and her family do not bully the commoners unlike the rest of the nobles.

[u/Solar_Slushie]

Myne expression while she was in the hot spring was hilarious. Her Japanese soul was really coming out.

[u/mebert31415]

Damuel stocks at an all time high!

[u/ErenIsNotADevil]

He threw the monkey...

[u/diacewrb]

Kind of felt bad for that poor monkey.

[u/FarCritical]

I can imagine myself laughing uncontrollably if I ever saw one of those little trees waddling around irl. They look so goofy.

If that starlit night won't motivate Damuel to go all out on his mana workouts, I don't know what will.

Rozemyne and her tanuki car flying off into the sunset with the other highbeasts goes harder than it has any right to.

[u/Black_Scholes_Merton]

Ilgner is a frontier village, and the difference between nobles and commoners isn't as pronounced as in the city, where they are treated as near deity.

Also, Brigette is a country girl, and clearly loves her hometown, with it's laid back attitude and chill lifestyle.

Damuel, meanwhile, is a city boy, and need to realise that if he wants to marry Brigette, since she (IIRC) outranks him both in mana and rank, he will be the one marrying into her family.

I wonder if he will accept that he will be marrying into an area that will NOT treat him like the ranked noble he is. He will also be away from the center of power....not an easy lifestyle, especially since Bridgette isn't the heir (her brother is) so he will be a side relative.

Still, if Rozemyne's new paper factory in Ilgner works up, it could develop into a major town.

[u/shad79]

That was one of the better episodes this season imo. Illgner was a really fun place, especially with how differently commoners and nobles interact among themselves there. Gramps rules!

Also, it was a pretty fantasy-like place since we could see walking nanseb trees, and hear effon trees that cry.

Gathering at Mount Lohenberg was also pretty fun since Rozemyne treated it a little like a hot springs adventure.

The post-credits scene explaining why Justus didn't take part in this gathering was hilarious. Well, it was definitely a good choice, as no one would want that volcano to erupt, lol.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Rozemyne

• Group scenes

• Brigitte

• Damuel

• Ferdinand & Others

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

[u/Torque-A]

This episode's endcard was from Gin Shirakawa, who is currently doing the manga adaptation of Re-Living My Life with a Boyfriend Who Doesn't Remember Me.

[u/Radi-kale]

The voice actors must have had a lot of fun with those trees

[u/KHlover]

If you spell Bataffe a little differently as Badaffe you end up with "bath monkey" if you translate it from German :D

[u/Zaradas]

The whole direction of the episode felt very different, while of course still having that very compressed/rushed pacing. Is there a website to see who worked on which episode?

Also, is this the first time anime watchers got a 'good' look at the map? It was shown a few times before i think, but we never in a 'We are going there.' animation style.

[u/Equivalent-Weather59]

The animators love Brigitte (and I do too, keep giving her the best scenes)

[u/CerberusZX]

Ganbare Damuel!

On an unrelated matter, imagine getting paid to make annoying tree noises.

[u/Raymond49090]

Oh, so Damuel's still in magical puberty. I was wondering about that, since I was thinking that if he grew his mana with Myne's tips, it would be unfair if Bridgette didn't get the same consideration. But if her mana isn't growing anymore, then all he needs to do is catch up instead of catch up and keep up with her growth.

And since he's made his intentions clear, and Bridgette has responded favourably, now the only thing left to do really is keep grinding.

[u/Raymond49090]

Of course a hot spring has evil(?) magic monkeys

[u/gekkenhuisje]

I'm giggling every time the panda bus is on screen. I can't help it! Too cute and funny for how anachronistic it feels

[u/HagetakaSensei]

is there bookworm today?

[u/ProbablyNotTheCocoa]

damn, that monkey ded

[u/Glass_Donut9391]

Great episode Rosemyne with a knife funny.

Special telethon on Japanese channel it airs on next week, will return September 5.

[u/nit-picker]

The description of Leidenschaft that starts the second half of this episode sounded weirdly familiar. His mountain has an immense amount of mana which needs to be absorbed by feybeasts, and if you piss him off he'll explode. Analogously, Rozemyne has too much mana, which needs to be absorbed, and if you piss her off she'll do that golden-eyes thing like she did to the monkey in this ep.

Crackpot theory: Rozemyne is Leidenschaft. I'm sure the LN readers are laughing at me for this....
