DURANDAL'S NEW WIELDER! Honestly, what went down left me absolutely speechless, easily surpassing my favorite events from last time as the sheer strength of a complete relic like Durandal's not to be understated or underestimated... the level of destruction, aided by their location, was unreal and it was presented so damn wel...

RECONCILIATION! Jiu-Jiu & Hongqiao are exactly what Shouxue needs, more people who truly care about her (not just Gaojun & the Flower Princess), expressing concerns & compassion beyond what their positions dictate... it is these bonds of friendship that she'll treasure & never abandon, that'll help release her...

CALM DOWN, CLAUDE! Okay, well this certainly caught me off guard... I can't believe the worst case scenario actually happened, Claude lost all control (rightfully so) and transformed. I swear, it made me so emotional to see the heartfelt pleas (& confession) from Aileen to calm him down... I can't gush enough about this s...

ORCS X WAYNE, I SHIP IT! Only real positives that came from this was Helen's newfound abilities (and status as a part-time adventurer), Wayne's interactions with the male orc, and the sudden appearance of the blue-haired female adventurer we've seen in the OP. I guess I will say I'm interested in meeting the MC's parents, the...

HEAD OVER HEELS! Off we go, whisked away into Clara's Toy Box, a wondrous world of endless (nonsensical) playtime... and our mana's slowly drained away by this terrifying combination technique between her bloodline ability & illusionary magic! I will say, even though it did waste several hours of the Harvest Festival, it ...

UNFORGIVABLE! GO BEYOND YOUR LIMITS! I swear, cliffhangers are the absolute bane of my existence, cause holy fuck... how dare you leave it off on such a twist, Studio Bones?! I'll hold out hope, however small it may be, that he'll be quick enough to save the situation before the worst case scenario happens.
Seems almos...
SYMPHOGEAR BRAWL! SHOW YOUR RESOLVE! So, it turns out, the Noise attack was a distraction, as Hibiki's the Nehustan's target (for abduction), which makes me wonder what exactly makes her so special... the difference in strength between a complete relic & the fragments wielded by Tsubasa & Hibiki is unreal, it took a S...

OPERATION SAVE MISHA! I do wonder if Rhodes Island actively sheltering Misha will "ruffle feathers" with Officer Ch'en, as it does go against her direct order to "take her in," and this would violate the (newly formed) partnership between Lungmen and Rhode Island... but it's not surprising that, within minutes of walking arou...

THE FLOWER PRINCESS! Shouxue's isolation continues to be disrupted, not only by Gaojun's frequent visits, but now Jiu-Jiu & Hongqiao assist her daily life at the Ye Ming Palace, in addition to Yun Huaniang (the Flower Princess) officially requesting her assistance to resolve the status & whereabouts of her (deceased) ...

GOODBYE CEDRIC! THE BANQUET ARRIVES! I swear, the sheer beauty of Aileen absolutely blows me away... the dress Claude sent her was incredible, it did compliment her natural looks really well. I can't even begin to gush enough about Claude (properly) escorting her, all the way to the official signing that declared her engageme...

HOPE SOLVES EVERYTHING? Look, I want to enjoy this show more than I am, and I hate talking negatively about a series (unless it's actually bad enough to deserve it), but this anime's straight up the "most mediocre" show of the season... if not 2022 in general.
Cause seriously, they squandered the mild interest I had a...
RESOLVING HER GRUDGE! I adore how this two-part storyline concluded, everything was connected by a single pair of jade earrings as it turns out... it was a truly beautiful and emotional moment to see the ghost of Xiaocui regain her sense of self upon the earrings being reunited, and seeing her beloved Guohao one final time be...

A MUST WATCH! Our MC's hellbent on solving issues for Claude, whom grants his blessing, and thus we come to meet her (very) talented underlings that assist in fixing the Demon Lord's castle, dealing with embezzlement from other nobles, setting up a profitable cosmetics business, and slowly but surely lessen the divide between...

MALEVOLENT DRAGON OUROBOROS! Seems like an actual threat's emerged, its stats are off the charts and it can even inspire fear in the MC... so I'll admit, it does have me somewhat excited to see what happens next.
Our MC's also been roped into becoming an adventurer, introducing us to several veterans and even a cute re...
A SECRET SURVIVOR?! So Shouxue's true identity is a survivor from the Luan Dynasty, which was purged years ago... I can't say I was expecting that twist, especially with the current emperor (Gaojun) witnessing the truth!
I dig this show's unique atmosphere so far, a solid premiere that kept me invested and curious abou...
AILEEN'S BEST GIRL! Seems like a real contender for "Fall 2022's Best Premiere," cause holy shit, this was extremely entertaining to behold! I can't get enough of this show already, especially Aileen, her personality and voice actress are spectacular... plus this series has such great artwork & music!
I did want to...
FANTASY FARMERS ARE OP! Okay, so I decided to check out this series, as it did manage to pique my interest awhile back... and well, I don't know how I feel about it just yet. It was nothing spectacular, the characters don't exactly stand out, and the animation's about what I'd expect from this studio (not the greatest CGI wha...

NEW ALIEN WAIFUS! I can't decide whose design's better between Benten & Oyuki, both are very solid and their personalities (so far) are rather entertaining... both easily shot up the "Best Girl" tiers for this show, which has so many lovely ladies already. Hopefully, we'll spend more time with them, sooner rather than lat...

FOLLOW YOUR OWN PATH! It was cool to see Nagomi resolve herself & actively fight, but much like this whole arc, it felt like it could have used more time to build it up properly... to make it hit all the harder, cause it felt sorta hollow.

IT'S "ARA ARA" TIME!

I love it when...

Honestly, I didn't expect the whole "search for true telepaths" plotline from Season 1 to resurface, but I can appreciate the Telepathy Club all coming together to grant her wish, to make memories, and/or also make first contact with extraterrestrial life as well. Hopefully, it won't be hostile life if they ...

SHERRY'S SO CUTE! I mean, even the animators were straight up "down bad" when it came to her scenes, those were QUALITY and I can appreciate the effort & passion towards her.

PSYCHO KOBENI! So, I'll be straight up, not sure how I feel about Kobeni... it seems like she's a controversial character among the (anime only) community), and I can understand why.

Seems like Rein might actually face the Dem...
GOODBYE GEORGE! BEST MAMA YOR! Lessons were learned today, such as the importance of context, to not eavesdrop on private adult conversations, and to not get carried away while playing the pity card...

Sure, the fam...
SURVIVAL HIGH! EVERYONE'S A PRINCE! I can't believe I didn't make the connection sooner that Iruma might be the most suited to the Harvest Festival's survival aspect, his previous life was one struggle after another to stay alive after all.

AN ENEMY VALKYRIE?! A BROKEN PROMISE! It just makes me so undeniably happy to watch characters embrace anger and extreme violence, berserker states are so entertaining to behold, and Hibiki's scenes were exactly what I wanted.
