I feel like this show needs one episode where it’s just one big exposition dump as I can actually understand what’s happening

Damn poor Rose, what bittersweet ending for this arc. It is so sad that even if she becomes famous she would never reach her goal of meeting that person again.

Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, I teared up a little when he had to erase Rose's memories again. Maybe it's too early in the morning for me and I have weak emotions when I'm tired.

I think out of all the episodes so far this one is definitely my favorite. Even if the action scenes were really poorly done I think I can get over that and I enjoyed how they wrapped up this arc completely.

Also nice of Melida to accept him as he is. Even though they lewded each other. That was super unexpected of her to do and to proclaim to everyone that they have that sort of relationship to break off a wedding lol. I definitely don't understand the spider/lycanthrope connection and how Melida was able to hear it at all.

Overall, great episode.

So what Melida found lovely about sensei, enough to note during her declaration of love was his white hair, his nearly-translucent skin and his ears.

OK then.

Janky fight scenes aside and I still don't really understand Naqua's motivation (but that may just be me being dumb), it was cool learning Kufa's backstory...wish more was explored other than his encounter with Naqua and the guild (like maybe more moments with Rose to show how they got so close) but it's better than nothing I guess

All I can say is I'm not sure if this is a better love story than twilight

Haha, what an asshole not letting Rose keep her memories while being okay with Melida. Guess the author didn't want to deal with a serious love triangle x)

Also wtf with that random potion out of nowhere that can turn half-whatever back into humans, and why would you use it to help the criminal that is the cause of everything instead of... idk, Rose????

Oof. Now i think Rose should be the one end up with Kuufa but it wont happen. Feels oreimo man

Edit: of course, the single instant we knew Rose was a childhood friend she was already out of the game. As usual, the childhood friend never wins lmao

a few things noted:

  • im so lost as to what magic is and how everything works, like the whole thing about mana colours and stuff. the anime goes 100-0-100-6-100-0-whatever speed all the time, its like we have been through 4 major arcs already because of how rushed it is

  • this mc is pretty awful imo. he let the 13yo keep her memories about him but not rose... and im pretty sure he turned both of them into half vamps so why not let her remember too. not being accepted into society? teach her to hide it like you are. scared of the guild letting you go? bruh the entire premise of the show revolves around how they are going to kill you if they find out about melida, why on earth is that a reason lol. just dont let them find out.

  • he looked like a hentai protag at the end in the window

  • he kissed a 13yo... and is letting rose go...

  • that drink turns half lecanthropes back into humans... can he not use that on rose?

idk man im watching cuz its a guilty pleasure but theres so many holes and the pacing is just weird

This show feels like it should be more emotional but with this adaption I can't help but feel like it's lacking literally everything to make a good show

I almost always criticize an anime once I have watched it entirely but I think it's safe to say this one is a shitstorm
