Surprisingly wholesome episode given naughty elves, sibling fights, and the overall edgy aesthetic of the series.

Fenrir: “Dungeon nao?” MC: “Nope!”
Dora-chan: “Dungeon nao?” MC: “Nope!”
Sui: “Dungeon nao?” MC: “Yes, yes. Dungeon now.”

That’s blatantly preferential treatment!

Fuck yeah. The manga series is awesome, and at least the first ep did it justice.

The “dance” scene was beautiful.

Oh, this made me check the manga series. Fun stuff. And I think I know exactly what you’re talking about.

As I mentioned in another thread I watched the first episode and it was okay. If it turns out boring later on I’ll drop it, but so far I’m following it.

Apparently the memories of the player and character are getting merged together? Lufas mentions adventuring is nostalgic, but then gets surprised with it.

I don’t think we’ll get a s2 but I’d be really glad if we did. It feels unfinished.

Atou accidentally defending the RPG earthling was kind of fun.

I don’t blame Takuto for not realising his own unit abilities, after being bedridden for so long.

The ones I’m planning to watch:

• OPM 3
• Spy x Family 3
• Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi 2
• Kekkon Yubiwa Monogatari 2
• Ansatsusha de Aru Ore no Status […] (might drop it later, dunno, but I liked the description)
• Shinjiteita Nakamatachi ni Dungeon […] (ditto as above)
• Mikata ga Yowa Sugite Hojo Mahou […]
• Akujiki Reijou to Kyouketsu Koushaku
• Tensei Akujo no Kuro Rekishi
• Isekai Quartet 3
• Mushoku no Eiyuu (watching it already. I read the manga a long time ago, it was okay.)
• Yasei no Last Boss ga Arawareta! (I watched the first episode and it seemed okay.)

I might watch Uma Musume: Cinderella Grey part 2 too. That depends on my pace watching the previous seasons, I’m at Pretty Derby s3.

And I absolutely refuse to watch Chichi wa Eiyuu, Haha wa Seirei. The manga made me cringe that bad. It was almost as bad as Isekai Cheat Magician.

Not as much of a banger as ep11, but I really liked it. A nice ending for part 2, while we wait for part 3.

The thing with resurrection is… nasty. And amazing. And at those times you remember Tsukasa isn’t some dumb brute, he immediately understood what would happen.

Suika telling Kohaku they’re the same age now, so Kohaku can’t squeeze her, was bittersweet.

@rikka@ani.social - here’s some cover pic, thank you in advance!

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. (The Brotherhood series, not the 2003 one!). There are some fight scenes, but they aren’t just for the sake of fighting, and I think it fits well what you said you like.

At least in the manga there is progress in their relationship; the story has beginning, middle, and end. However the middle was specially slow, because it was more about the evolution of Marin’s feelings towards Wakana. And, well, the middle is basically what was adapted as season 2.

If there is a season 3 (I hope and predict so), it’ll be probably better in this aspect.

I read the LN but I wasn’t expecting the episode to be that good. Seeing Caria and Maria devouring Isla’s heart - knowing they were forced to cannibalise their biological mother, too - was heavy.

I just wish they worked better on that “the moon is pretty” scene. It’s too obvious why it’s there (for contrast, so the following events cause more emotional impact), and it feels a bit cringey. That’s perhaps just me, though.

I’ll probably watch it but it lost the shine from s1.

Senku was petrified for seven years.

The wiki says Suika was 12 when everyone was petrified, 18 afterwards, so it took her six years. Based on vegetation growth and my eyeballed estimates it would be four instead; the tower looks ~8m tall and lianas grow ~3m/year, so it would take them at least three years to reach the top.

We got it. We’re roughly at chapter 196.

I liked it. It was obvious for the viewers, but Suika was still a child, and it’s how children think - they want easy and fast solutions. It also shows well that with science you don’t get ir right the first time, you need to be a bit stubborn.

Also, all the screenshots are done by hand, so as long as you indicate which one you want clearly enough for a human to understand, it should be ok.

Good to know! Thank you!

This scene was bloody amazing. A damn great adaptation of the manga:

The anime expanded the time Suika is alone in the world; it was just three chapters (194~196), but we got a full episode out of it.

And I’m glad it did. It doesn’t change the plot at all, but it gives Suika’s time alone a well-deserved depth.

Sure, she woke up all alone, just like Senku did seven years earlier. But unlike Senku she was still a child, and the episode showed well how lonely and vulnerable she felt. (Specially the part where she hugs Kohaku’s statue.) And Suika was never shown to be a talented scientist or anything similar; she didn’t even get modern education. And yet she was able to make the revival fluid. It plays really well with the theme of the anime, on science being not quite the result of a few talented individuals, but of knowledge accumulated over time: previous knowledge (Senku notes), failures (the rain over the nitrate crystals), and eventually success.

By far one of the best episodes I watched this season.

@rikka@ani.social

I don’t think we’ll see it this season. But the show is popular, and there’s enough content for three seasons, so I do think we’ll see a third season.

In fact, I think they’ve been planning this since the start:

• Season 1 - from ch. 01 (vol. 1) to ch. 39 (end of vol. 5)
• Season 2 - from ch. 40 (vol. 6) to ch. 79 (end of vol. 10)? Current content is ch. 76.
• Season 3 - from ch. 80 (vol. 11) to ch. 115 (end of vol. 14)?

It splits too cleanly to not be on purpose, you know?

Indeed, how can we help her make take the leap? 😁

If I were to answer this I’d be spoiling it with content from the manga, so… sorry 🫢
