Well despite how Amanda looks and behaves, she's actually pretty tough and not to mess with.

Despite the destructive nature of her abilities and that big smile, she's definitely a character to watch out for, maybe even one of the strongest in this season so far.

Very intense episode again. The fight scenes were awesome as usual.

Amanda is such a powerful lady.

Fran, Shishou, and Amanda look like a family. ^^ How sweet is that!

The animation was simply wonderful and it was great. Especially with Fran's adorableness, it was superb.
They didn't skip any battle scenes as far as I know and I greatly enjoyed this episode.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Mommy Amanda, kid child Fran and the rest of the party made up of different groups on the Alessa Guild's Rank D quest of The Spider's Web, also a test for those wanting to up their ranks. Only one problem: Krad of his "Dragon's Roar" guild picking a beef with Fran for levelling favoritism, forgetting that Amanda's here as well.

The expedition taking a day and longer because of Krad just wanting to settle his beef with Fran (which Amanda easily shields her), it's a journey of arduous proportions. Fran could've easily avoided this mock duel, but thanks to Krad mocking Teacher, that is reason enough to spar with him with everyone in view to prove that she's a Rank D adventurer earned by her own hard work. And while the fight animation is impressive with Fran taking care of Krad easily without using Teacher (only to realize afterwards by using it), it's Amanda who also wants a spar with her, either Amanda stops stalking or Fran calls her "Mommy" for a winning promise.

Using the unconventional whip, her strong and agile attacks keep Fran moving in all directions, and even with the strongest of attacks, Amanda comes off unscathed, which this deserves a commendable effort from the Black Cat herself for volunteering to see how long she can withstand against the Rank A ace. With such a rowdy battle, it's onto the quest to enter The Spider's Web. Let's go!

The best episode thus far, and Fran needn't another Mom, but a mother character in her life.

Probably my fave episode. A lot of action today and the animation was very well done. Enjoyed seeing Fran push the instructors further than they expected, even the Amanda fight was great. Fran’s already had her dad, now she’s got a mom.

I'm actually fond of that dragon roar guy, I love a rowdy character like him, cute!
Anyway, the other rank E party seems suspicious, could they be spy from other country?

After that heated Fran vs Amanda battle. I would just put Fran as last one to enter, like she probably could solo the dungeon.

Amanda can pass as a pervert per se, but the intentions are pure.

I gotta say, i keep getting impressed by how they don't half-ass character design. It's like every single background character is super unique instead of being generic like you would expect. Be it goblins from previous episodes, guild people, merchants. Even the manga has generic design for all those guys, but the anime went above and beyond. Props.

There are a few new frames towards the end of the opening as well, spoilers though :)

I lost the count how many times white-haired dude embarrassed himself. You just can't have an isekai without them, right?

As I thought Amanda was testing Fran, because ain't no way ara-ara milfs do someone bad.

Another fabulous episode, great action couched in wholesomeness. Fran is the best. She should share her curry with the group - it would blow their minds and melt their hearts.

This is a cheeky spoof on the Isekai, but the humor and wit are really outstanding. There's also some frightening and heartwarming moments, and who could not adore little Fran?
I saw some "Not Recommended" reviews, but I think these reviews are missing the whole point of this story.

If anything I was gonna watch it for our catgirl protagonist but this anime turned out better than I had hoped.

Proceeds to almost win against an A rank adventurer. I mean its nice that there are still things than Fran cant just one shot but it is probably the case that the things Fran cant beat are numbered on one hand at this point.

Wow, this is probably my favorite or at least one of my favorite episodes from the all the shows this season, the action was great, a nice introduction of some unique side characters, we saw how much Fran has grown and that she is willing to do what she hates, a nice while temporary rival and a great and caring mentor that shows us there is plenty for the MC to strive for.

I assumed this was going to be one of those many lazy isekai anime going from the first episode but it keeps getting better, Fran is just the best.

It can't be just me that feels that Tensei Shitara Ken Deshita is one of the best isekai series to have come out in like... forever? Most isekai series are just plain boring and tedious. They either seem to go through the motions or expand their scope beyond what they're capable of handling.

At this point, the series keeps itself grounded and personal by having Fran and Shisho's relationship being the foundation of the story, and it makes it so, so easy to get invested in Fran's adventures and root for her success.

The pacing is phenomenal, the fight choreography is some of the best, and the balance/juxtaposition between light and serious moments is perfect... I'll be absolutely heartbroken if this series doesn't get a second season.

I think it's the best first season of an Isekai in 2022. Maybe Eminence, maybe Skeleton.

Well, Amanda didn't bother to take a single step while her speed has been shown to be superior to what Fran can even follow, and Fran had to give everything while taking several hits to manage to land a single one and then fainting out of exhaustion right afterwards. Given that information, I strongly doubt that a point blank fireball from Fran would have been enough to knock out Amanda even without the skill.

Very good battle choreography, good presentation for Amanda's skills and a genuine excitement for the dungeon. I'm amazed at how this anime has overcome a very generic first episode.

Amanda's ara ara moment when she saw Fran's fireball was the funniest ara ara moment I've seen. Her using the back of her whip to deflect and attack was also really cool. I can tell they're not using the budget for this episode. But they saved some neat moments with Amanda. Also she's got a badass skill, she was really surprised Fran got an attack in.

Amanda's once every 24 hours negate one attack skill is kinda OP!

That's why none of the others lasted as long as Fran, when they tried to battle her. Nice.

what a good fight, but in the end the result was obvious ... Amanda showed why she is rank A, and the rest understood that Fran's rank deserved it ... but what a good comedy with the annoying guy and his cheerleaders, I liked him charm. I was surprised that the idiot didn't learn and kept pestering Amanda, she gave everyone a good time anyway.

Well Amanda is not fighting seriously at all. If she were to get serious, she can beat Fran in just few seconds. As someone that read up to the latest WN raw, Fran is nowhere near Amanda's strength currently.

true I suppose. Still I know why she didn't but would've been nice to see her giving her a heads up about a surprise or something at least. it just goes "nope your level is too low you can't do damage to her" which was the description for that skill as well.

I suppose it's refreshing to see proper game mechanics in an isekai though

Did that guy seriously just point his sword at a kid? Also, Amanda-san is really good at using her skills and abilities. It really checks out her Adventure Rank! If this is how A-Rank Adventurers are, then I wonder how S-Rank Adventurers are like!
