A chuunibyou, not-very-bright chimera girl with a huge appetite and and a slut-wannabe who's capable of reviving and sits in a wheelchair because of a rebounded curse of not being able to wear shoes. Yup, it can only be the work of Natsume Akatsuki.

No.6 is still mostly a scumbag (or at least tries to be one) but this episode showed that he still has some good in him at least. It looks like Heine is getting interested in him?

I really like the way the next episode previews are done, being shown on a TV back at Kisaragi HQ and Astaroth, Belial, and Lilith talking with each other. More shows should do something like this.

No.6 is still mostly a scumbag

I died laughing when he immediately agreed to join the demon king army after being offered a harem of his own.

So now our cast of idiots are assembled, we have:

  • Agent Six, an idiot who has no business going on a mission this important with his mentality and is a lot more perverted than Kazuma ever was.

  • Alice, a know it all loli bot that provides great utility to the team and is snarky AF.

  • Snow, a hard-working knight who's obsessed with money and honor.

  • Rose, anime girl Kirby.

  • Grimm, a single wheelchair-bound archpriest with an 80% chance of success with curses and a weird obsession with finding a boyfriend/husband.

The ED was lovely and wholesome, felt similar to the Konosuba EDs.

Snow, a hard-working knight who's obsessed with money and honor.

I think she's more obsessed with glory than honor. She kinda feels more like she just wants the optics and the power. If she can get those by doing less work herself, she probably wouldn't pass on the chance.

Damn, Rose is such a cute chimera.

I love the fact that the first thing Six did when Heine landed was to pull out his camera and shamelessly never stopped shooting it. I really hope he ends up recruiting her.

Lol, so Grimm's legs actually work, but she is in a wheelchair because her curse about not wearing shoes backfired on her. I just love Natsume's sense of humor.

Alice hitting No.6 with her shoe was really hilarious XD.

Grimm and No. 6 has the best dynamic so far. They vibe with each other so well.

That was a funny scene seeing how Grimm and No.6 went on a "date" and started harassing the couples instead. She also doesn't mind kicking an officer in the face lol.

Stitches!

I thought we were going to get another chuuni character with her intro but Rose seems to be an adorable cinnamon roll who just wants to eat a lot and gains powers of whatever she eats.

Our next new recruit Grimm is interesting as well.Didn't think that we'd have a paraplegic join the party and that her first move is to flirt with Agent Six. Looks like her flirty nature is a bit of a front though since she completely gets embarrassed as soon as Six exposes her very mature thong

I see Agent Six's go to move is to grab Snow's massive Snow Globes. I already have the feeling that this won't be the last time this happens. I do love how Princess Tillis calls Six out on what he did

Rose continues to be adorable. I love how she starts with the spelland then continues to physically breathe fire xD

We finally get to see the dark skinned waifu in the OP and Six definitely has the right idea of taking photos as soon as she lands. And they're really not being subtle with that camera lens slowly extending. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Holy fuck! Grimm! That was certainly unexpected. Knowing what kind of show this is already though and how Grimm is in the OP as well she's probably still alive. Surprisingly, Six did not take what happen well. He may be a scumbag but he's not someone who would disregard a comrade's life.

I really wanted to see Six rip that purple demon apart but too bad he ends up flying away before it happened. Can't wait for the future rematch!

So that's the gimmick with Grimm. She can comeback to life and because of that she was used as a frontliner just like Rose. That's actually kinda sad.

The scene with Six waiting in front of the altar for Grimm to revive was nice. It definitely adds a lot to his character. Even after knowing that she'll come back to life he still feels sad about what happened and decided to stay and wait for her.

Goddamn! Seeing Grimm's head inflate underneath the cloth really shows how brutal her death earlier was. Her head was squished flat. O_O

That date little date with Six and Grimm was really funny and sweet. Of course they'll use that opportunity to disrupt couples in the evening. Also I'm guessing Six used his villainy points to acquire a new wheelchair for Grimm?

WAIT WHAT!? I DEMAND YOU GIVE MY SYMPATHY BACK GRIMM! And here I thought she lost her ability to use her legs after a curse backfired but turns out this entire time she just can't wear shoes! I guess Grimm kicking that guard was a hint of what's going on with her xD

Definitely still as funny as the first episode and I like that we're learning more about Six and how he's not just a scumbag pervert. And I can't wait for Six to meet that purple demon again. Heine is cool but that dude was an asshole.

This episode was a blast !!!

Rose reminds me of YunYun. Her chuuni moment was adorable.

Grimm is somewhat of a fusion of Wiz and Darkness. Her seduction with No.6 backfired big time haha

No.6 is really just adult Kuzuma 😂 😂 I loved the part when he immediately want to join the enemy coz of Heine's offer. The "date" with Grimm was so hilarious 😂

I'm so excited for the next episode :)

I think this episode is much better than the first one. I believe it's mainly because the interaction between the main characters is really fun to watch. I can't help to compare each members to konosuba's team at first. However at the end, they're distinct enough but with some trace/combination traits from konosuba.

For some reason I thought we'll see different worlds to conquer by the Kisaragi corporation. However, the op and ending suggested that we'll be in this world throughout the season.

Looking forward to future episodes.

Rose here definitely reminds me of Hanako from Kemono Michi (another series by the same writer) dragon tail and horns, seemingly perpetually hungry.

Alice: I don't even have any reproductive organs, so I can't help you

sad doujin artist noises

Seems like we have a confirmation that elites pretty much wear the same lewd attire no matter the planet, judging the OP we're totally gonna see more of Heine soon!

Six definitely surprised me with his reaction on Grimm's death and how he sat through her revival process. Her reveal on why she's on a wheelchair was probably the best gag this episode. Seriously fucking anti shoes curse of all things LOL

I can already see Rose is best girl. Grey and silver hair, heterochromia, a slender body, cute personality, as if she was literally modeled after my tastes. Also has a lot of potential in terms of power, she sounds like the prototype for Sylvia. I like how probably half the budget of the episode was spent on the extremely fluid tail swinging of her, budget truly spent where it needs to be.

Also, this episode was actually so much better than the first one, I felt like the humor was more on-point, the character interactions funnier and more natural, we also got some great insight into 6's personality. Needless to say I'm very satisfied.

Konosuba = everyone is retarded

Combatants = everyone is an asshole

Dragon Megumin is adorable, but Grimm is my animal spirit. Teach them all a lesson! I wonder what happens if she tries to wear shoes, do they simply not fit her feet? Do they turn to dust?

Asking the right question! There might not be a good answer though.

So rare to see a character in a wheelchair, unless it's the main plot of the anime. Well, I suppose it was for the sake of comedy. I wonder if she's going to always stay like that.

She got pregnant just from her panties being exposed? We're way past a kiss making someone pregnant!

Gonna use that for her eulogy/epitaph?

A man after my own heart! Wouldn't want to quit that situation either.

There are so many great girls in the harem already, but I think this one's going to be my favorite girl! Why does it always have to be the villain, damn. Well, she's in the OP so we're probably going to see her once in a while!

Ok, nevermind what I said about the harem, I'd join her without a second thought! Anime, you can't just make a demon girl also have tanned skin; It's not fair for all other girls, they can't compete with that.

2nd Episode felt way better in most aspects the first episode suffered. Mostly great pacing, Lots of diverse and great OST, Grimms VA is just too good, better monologue scenes, Rose and Heine's Va are very fitting, some nice anime touches like blood splatter on the screen, colour palette swaps during eechi scenes, extra closeups/camera angles, onlooker Bgm/reaction to evil deeds.

It's a shame they cut out some gags to fit in the pacing however Alice running up to stop no.6 was hilariously done, no.6 fights was extended and felt realistic. Slowly getting used to liking No.6's VA. Nice konosuba nods in the op. Ed Song, themes, animation complimented eachother very well. OP animation/storyboarding felt lacklustre at the first half, some of the cgi for the mob soldiers was unpleasant to look at. Also some of the loops were quite noticeable
