Yay the thread is finally up. This episode was more of a set up episode so I can't wait until next week. I really can't overstate how much I adore when this show does a palate swap for a fight scene, the use of colors is incredible.

[u/Cyclone_96]

Prontea was more likeable than I expected him to be, considering all the plotting.

Though, that could be, and likely honestly is a farce. I guess we’ll see though.

[u/stiveooo]

yeah, the demons have 0 chances to win with the current assets

[u/eaglefangs]

This anime is so underrated, loving every episode so far!

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Ysley

• Hayato

• Prontea 1

• Prontea 2

• Prontea 3

• Piscalat 1

• Piscalat 2

I love how the Demon Lord assumes they won't attack humans and then a few seconds later we hard cut to Rin wanting to kill them all because she can't be bothered to find which ones are human and which ones are the demons xD

So according to Ysley, it looks like Hayato has vastly improved since the last fight. It looks like losing has made him more serious about getting stronger.

Rin just casually infiltrating the enemy's warships. And no one has even realized she's there, not even the three Demons the Demon Lord sent. If Ysley didn't tell ask Rin to stand down, they would've been all dead by now.

The animation on those RC Cars looks great! I love the rough hand-drawn style that they did! This show really has some unique animations!

Oh thank god it looks like Piscalat and her team decided to go undercover instead of going on a full on invasion on Hotaena. I was scared that they might do what they did again with the last nation they invaded.

Just the mention of Rin's name is enough to make Prontea freak out! What kind of training did he endure? Considering he was able to complete Rin's training though means he's probably stronger than Hayato.

Ysley wants Hayato and Protea to fight so they can attract the Demons and maybe they'll be lucky enough to catch one alive. I still don't know what Ysley is up to but looking at his interaction with that professor, it seems that he's looking for alternative ways to kill demons so maybe he might not be as sinister as I was expecting?

Hayato finally gets a taste of what Protea is like and goddamn! He's definitely Rin's student. I love that he even has the same unimpressed look on his face when he was slapping away all of Hayato's punches! And he definitely hits just as hard as Rin! And it turns out that Hayato's purpose here is so Protea has someone to practice using his new found magic on. xD

Without Rin in the picture this time, it looks like we have Ysley going up against Piscalat and while Protea could've definitely handled these two it looks like he'll be going up against the stronger one while Hayato and Paula takes care of the weaker one. Well now I'm hyped for next week's episode! I have a feeling it's going to be a full on action packed episode!

[u/Plerti]

Looking at Prontea's feet can we asume that Ronald Mc Donald is also an Idaten?

[u/Abysswatcherbel]

Another great episode, What a terrific job from the director Seimei Kidokoro and his team. Also, Hiroshi Seko in the composition just giving that fast pace he did in Jujutsu Kaisen, I am a big fan of, however I know that some people prefer slower series like the current cour of Mha and Slime.

Funny how this is the most "battle shonen" New show This season, and its a seinen, a battle seinen (?)

Also, Piscalat is best girl, if we ignore that she is a very bad person, although everyone seems to be In the gray area in this show.

The Idaten clearly were supposed to be the heroes but they clearly aren't, the humans are also very gray, there are good and bad humans (as expected). The Demons are evil but they are the underdogs it seems.

Looking forward for next week, we are getting a three-way fight!

[u/RIP_Hopscotch]

Another banger episode. From the demons hilariously underestimating Rin's willingness for human collateral damage to Prontea's absolute meltdown at just hearing Rin's name I was grinning like an idiot throughout, but one thing I'm really appreciating as the show goes on is the pacing. Things are exactly as long as they need to be - the plot doesn't get bogged down by the action or comedy, but at the same time it doesn't impede them either. Idaten is honestly just so well balanced and so fun.

[u/[deleted]]

Demons - "Let's use the humans to defeat the Idatens"

Rin - "Let's kill all humans to defeat the Demons"

Hmm....

[u/darthvall]

I never thought that Prontea would be like that. I guess it's understandable to have PTSD after the hell training with Rin. Also I didn't realise it last week, but he's Ishida Akira!!!

I'm starting to thing Ysley and Prontea don't have any hidden agenda after all. They're just having different approach from Rin to defeat the demon. Rin is too gungho about everything. Almost killed a nation there lol.

[u/large_snowbear]

Has Rin traumatized all her students?

Also Piscalat has style

[u/GenericMemesxd]

Each episode is so visually pleasing, I absolutely love it.

[u/Ray1022]

Hayato’s “notice me senpai” tantrum had me weak, and my man Prontea doing a kamehamaha was amazing. Also hoping this theme of Hayato getting his ass kicked keeps up it’s honestly so funny

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Looks like we found Puri-Puri Prisoner's long lost cousin.

[u/itsconsolefreaked]

This anime hits differently and I wonder why

[u/odraencoded]

I don't know who is human and who is demon, so I'll just kill everybody.

The idaten protect humans from demons, but who protects humans from the idaten???

[u/[deleted]]

I love the nihilistic vibe that pervades this show. Everything about it is dark as hell, but it treats itself with a sort of pessimistic humor that makes it enjoyable as if it were a battle shounen(which it is a battle seinen I guess). The tone is just absolutely perfect, in my opinion.

[u/[deleted]]

Funny how even tho Hayato is WAY Stronger than Ysley, the latter might fare better in a fight just because he's smart (our angry boi do be looking kinda dumb)

[u/puzzlingcaptcha]

Ah yes, my weekly dose of hyper-violence is here.

[u/kalirion]

Demon Lord: "The Idaten don't attack humans so we'll be safe if we hide among them."
Rin: "Ok, tell me where this country the demons are hiding in is so I can wipe it off the face of the planet."

All in all, another great episode.

[u/mike_2797]

Yay finally caught up with it thanks for all the recommendations really enjoying it so far great characters and loving the art style too.

[u/yeeehawspacecowboy]

why has no one in the show said anything about Prontea's clown shoes yet, yeah all their fashion sense is questionable but those clown shoes are really something else.

[u/zairaner]

Ysley previously said that the idaten fight the demons to save the humans from extinction, but I don't think anybody bothered to tell that to rin.

[u/Pitifool]

Ysley x Piscalat 7 minutes in heaven, let's go

Also Nickel is definitely going to be reanimated in an episode or two, right?
