Rudeus makes a friend and almost loses them... all in one episode. That was entertaining to watch.

But I'm glad Sylphiette is still friends with him. Who knows what he would've done if he lost the only friend he made after who knows how long.

Lol so it turns out this won't be the last time Rudy thinks that Sylphie is a boy

The scene where Rudy destroys Paul is one that I remember pretty well. I love how Rudy stands up for himself instead of backing down, and how Paul doesn't stay the bad guy and instead regrets his words, and maybe even grows a little, learning from his '4' year old son. Watching it again though, I now feel like it was just ever-so-slightly rushed (which is definitely the case of the first few episodes of season 2 [not PART 2, we'll get to that after this} if you know what I mean), like as if there was a bit more to be said. I can say without a doubt that the light novels definitely fleshed out this whole thing even more. That's obvious because that's always the case with light novels, but I think that case is even more true here. Like towards the end of the first half Rudy just goes on mentioning what happens after, how those 3 kids keep bothering him and how he fends them off. At least they kept in his deduction that the mother of that boy was using this whole situation just to go see Paul. That was pretty funny at least lol. That, and I love how Paul says that with Rudy acting so mature, he was almost relieved that he did something as childish as punch another kid in the face. So yes it did feel a bit rushed now that I think about it, but they kept in enough, and I'm glad they kept this whole thing in rather than omit it completely. And hey maybe I'm completely wrong and they adapted it completely. I'm not a light novel reader, yet, but yeah maybe I'm wrong and they did it all perfectly.

We then return to Rudy hanging out with Sylphie and teaching her magic, and I like how he explains how the hot water he used on her before wasn't just hot water, but rather him summoning both water and fire together, to heat the water. I love small things like that. Small like my pp amirite. Anyway, it rains and Rudy takes Sylph home, where the reveal happens in that "Sylph" is actually "Sylphiette". And yeah again, no spoilers, but this won't be the last time Rudy mistakes her to be a boy.

Rudy is a small kid yet has the memory of an adult so this makes an interesting watch.

I've only just started this show so might be jumping the gun by saying this, but so far I think a lot of the controversy around it is missing the point. There's stuff in this show that puts a bad taste in my mouth, but it's clear that the overall point is that his second chance at life is him learning that the incelly way he used to view women was wrong. Depiction doesn't equal endorsement.

Like, it spells out that him taking Sylph's panties off was wrong and that you always need consent before doing shit like that in no uncertain terms.

I’m not sure if it’s gonna be ever explained but I’m not sure how I suppose to see Rudy as a grown man or a child because it’s change a lot of things. My problem is he mostly acts like a child , he’s reactions amd lack of experience in world all childish. But then he’s thoughts are of a grown man who is pretty antisocial and didn’t meet the real world to much and I’m not sure how to react to this contrast sometimes he’s thoughts and actions don’t make sense together or maybe just I feel like it.

For example when he was talk with he’s father he mostly acted like a adult who experienced it which I think was a good scene ( wanted to be longer)

But the bath scene was childish from start to end. The contrast between them dont make to much sense to me

Very good episode, how frustrating it must be to have your son win the argument haha although he is not arguing with a child... he is arguing with an adult in a child's body even so I like that after this, the father reflected and now he is more open and not so harsh with Rudeus.

You can tell a relic is sacred when you pray to it hahaha, the part you describe of handkerchiefs and something white....es too much hahaha.

It's just that he shouldn't have forced her to strip, he was telling her no and she should have made the situation more clear, although I understand that for some people it's not that easy to do so.

PS: Paul was slow to realize his teachings of women to Rudeus

his episode was great. It's wonderful how past life's social skills get better in a new life. It's very nice to see how past life's trauma is being healed. I'm currently binge waching this show...

Certain consesions can be made for the sake of art. Morally or otherwise. 

The problem is that this is not art. 

Certain view points and ideas that are counterculture, taboo, or downright evil. Can and should be explored in art and media; it allows discourse and discussion. The ability to take a empathetic view of its side or victims. It helps move and solidify the position it take in society's zeitgeist. 

This is not that.

This is a pedophilia-abuse acceptance fantasy. It tries to escape itself with what it believes to be "moral murky water" and some other so-called "justifications." There is no murky water, justification, or anything else that excuses this. To believe that under any circumstance, this is not abuse, rape, or pedophilia. Is a fallacy of the highest order. There is no moral conundrum, no balancing act; it is abuse period. 

You may want it to be excusable, "Eh, maybe it does say this," or you can want it to be "It's just an anime!". 

You cannot, It is not, and it will not be.  Justifiable. Ever. 

It is promoting and vindicating abuse and pedophilia. It thinks that it is possible to have a justification, a trick, or a circumstance. That ignorance of victims and society makes abuse and pedophilia OK. That is the distillation of what it tries to say. That if you can find some mask or deception, Abuse is ok.  There are no loopholes in abuse, pedophilia, or unwanted sexual interactions. There are no loopholes in abuse, pedophilia, or unwanted sexual interactions. Double if there is no consents possible. 

No murky water, no nothing. can or will excuse what is portrayed here.  That this "anime" tries is the most vile part. It makes inexcusable positive promotions for this show. By saying it's good, passing it off, or minimizing the content. You are saying, there are circumstances. Where hurting a child or human is fine if you can jump through flaming moral hoops. That personal intent or knowledge is meaningless

 This is one of the few subjects where there is no gray.

PS
If you have to do mental gymnastics, you've already answered your question. Now do the world a favor.
