Lol, I knew the majesty was up to something with his festival plans. It seems money never escapes his mind.

Looks like this festival also brings in competition between characters. Seth is still a rather hotblooded person so I can't say it's surprising that he wants to win. Mylie and Seth makes an amusing duo/team together if you ask me.

f... fuuuuck... :O you know the adaptation is a failure when you read this kind of thing.
Don't take it personally Stark700 I completely respect your opinion but it just proves the anime went full Out of Character with Seth.

Also why are they already showing the broom cup when this is the latest "transitional" arc currently ongoing in the manga ? O__o... seriously Lerche ... <__<

This was the worst episode so far. The flashbacks were painfully long.

They could've had a different kind of race, instead of a broomstick race. Seth can still take part in his broom, and it won't remind us of Quidditch.

The debt joke isn't funny at all, but I don't think that's a problem as some other people probably find it funny.

I just do not understand why they made an episode with flashback and fillers like this so early. It's only gonna turn people away from the anime and right now they need to be gathering fans. I didn't mind it simply because I just enjoy the characters so no matter what they are doing it will be okay for me. It seems like next episode will be the start of a new arc so I hope it will get a little more serious

This anime may have its problems but Melie certainly isnt one of them. Your rarely get characters as likeable as she is.

They are going for one of the best routes to ruin an anime. I just can't belive they can't do better than this with the source material they have. Just... why???

That Nick was one handsome fellow, but it seems that his looks and his money are all that he has going for him because he was an insufferable jerk.

The race was nice though, I loved how Seth caught Mélie in his arms, and refused to let her behind; it was so sweet! The way he chose to lose the race to save those two was nice too, it just showed that he was the better man. I'm actually suprised that Lord Majesty didn't increase their debt after Seth broke his flying ship or whatever that was though. xD

I didn't like how they just repeated a few scenes this time, but it's here, something is finally happening! Or at least I think it is.

I have very little patience for long flashbacks. Otherwise it wasn't terrible.

Lucky that the Alma flashback from before was my favorite scene of the entire show. Otherwise, this was a waste.

What a waste of an episode, filler and flashbacks. I like the characters in radiant but they are utterly wasted.

Half way though and the plot has gone AWOL. Seriously, this show ain't getting 50 episodes so why waste the ones you have? The whole debt joke isn't funny either, it's just repetitive.

Love that broom race... and that majestic machine vs seth... hahaha

I just dont like the Naruto/boruto style of very long flash backs. It consumed many minutes of the actual episode.

Race wasn't bad. Long flashbacks were though. I don't understand what up with this adaptation, is there some legal binding preventing them from adapting the story arcs? Or do they just want it to fail?

Weird flashbacks, too long and feels more of a recap which is annoying and just made me even sure of this...

It's too bad that Seth didn't win the race, but he likely would've if he hadn't stopped to save those two guys.

And who is this "Grimm" character? Is he good or evil? Seth will likely cross paths with him someday.

Useless flashbacks + still no plot... i don't know where this anime is going but it starts to be boring, that's a pity because the first episodes were really good and promising.

ffs, why was half of this episode flashbacks filler? Did they really having so many production issues that they needed to pull this shit so soon?

It's not like we're hundreds of episodes deep in a long running series or anything. I suppose there are only 11 volumes of material to work with, but it still feels way too soon to need to kill time with useless flashbacks.

For a broom race in the sky they sure don't have safety rescue teams in case people fall out of the sky...damn that stingy cat. I think they could have easily done without the flashbacks, hopefully next episode we get some plot progression on the main story

Wow, it's like someone was trying to make one terrible episode to top the other. Half of the episode was flashbacks, and the race was really a chore to watch, with the opponents either being nobodies or being an arrogant younger master-like character with no redeeming qualities. And then, to make Seth look like a goodie and to have him appear as the best to us viewers while continuing the debt misery, they have him save two of his enemies which, unlike the rest of the contestants, don't seem to have parachutes, thus losing the prize money from the race. Not to mention that cat's meddling in the race for no good reason than to make it harder for Seth. Really bad.

Plenty of recapping this ep lol. The race was some good fun tho.

Majesty is the most detestable little thing next to Kyubey istg lol

Seth and Melie make for such an adorable duo ^^
