Definitely Fran's toughest fight to date but at least she survived that.

I also find it funny how they threw in cartoony faces among all the serious drama because Fran is Fran. That Greater Demon and its transformation was nasty though. It makes me wonder what other powerful monsters are out there in the world...

We all knew they would survive, but oh boy. That was a very intense battle.

I love Fran's expressions. She's just too adorable.

The Greater Demon's Bonus Skill of Skill Taker being on par with Fran's swordsmanship, it just made Fran's opportunities of defeating it slimmer...that's if it ever succeeded in the first place, which it failed.

Nevertheless, the Dungeon Master aside that can't do anything in power against the Greater Demon, the battle continues as per the norm, and Fran will never give up until it is defeated to save Alessa, retreat is never an option for her. But finding any weaknesses is immensely as difficult as trying to land a successful hit, and it's only when it's randomly attacking that the window of opportunity arrives: to take the Dungeon Master down instead, and together with Teacher, bet everything on one move, his Ultimate Skill of Telepult to aim for its mana crystal, using all of its mana in the process.

For a moment, Fran thought that Teacher was dead, but in fact it wasn't due to it being able to recover thanks to the absorption of mana crystals. Everything else is just the finishing process, and Fran successfully defeated the B-rank Demon. Donadrond completely lost it when Fran went on her own, and that is the infamous scolding and reformative training instilled into her, while feeling dejected. The only thing that can lift her spirits is curry, and as for Teacher, its the Skill Taker skill maxed out to oblivion of guaranteed success.

For guildmaster Clint, the mana crystal from Greater Demons are highly sought after, and Teacher knew this would happen to get questioned. Unfortunately, there's one more pain-in-the-ass guy to deal with about this matter, and who exactly is this grubby old man?

That demon is quite hot though, and despite a cheating skill, the demon himself fight fairly without the help of dungeon master, is it possible to tame a demon in this anime LOL
Anyway, I guess that new guy has a lie detection skill, and I predict Fran is gonna steal that skill from him.

Low effort isekai? Heck No. Just look the animation we had this episode. Fran jumped some big time too, level 25. Though too bad she got chewed out lol, going all alone in the dungeon wasn't a wise decision either way so it was coming.

And that brings an end to volume 1. The anime definitely handled things really well and I enjoyed this first arc way more here than I did in the books. The final fight was awesome.

Fran’s curry song was also adorable lol.

Fran's VA is so wonderful, I can hear Fran's cutesy voice and it's wonderful. She's too adorable.

The cliffhanger... a new troublemaker... or probably just a mob.

P.S. That "Skill Taker" is broken but I love the sound of that.
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.

Great battle.

Teacher should had stayed quiet about the Skill Taker use. He opened his psych mouth and someone that looks troublesome walked through the door, that may be the first test subject.
And is 18 days CD one time per target and you cant choose which skill you take, and they could end with an useless skill.

they are very lucky that their skills weren't stolen or it would have been the end of this anime.

they got us good during the part where shisho was destroyed. even i thought that the sword is destroyed and it can't even regenerate as it's out of mana.

fran's little curry dance was cute.

imagine they take that blacksmith's skills lmao, biggest scam of the century. skill taker is a pretty OP skill though, it's name "cheat-skill" is fully justified.

5/5 episode. looking forward to next one.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

it started out great, the intensity of the fight and the struggle to defeat the demon helped to ease the OP of teacher and bring some struggles to the duo. don't see this in some OP MC shows.

one thing I found a bit odd, they came to realise the DM was their best chance at killing the demon, that malee attacks were basically useless against him and yet they still used a malee attack to kill the demon and win. I get they wanted the skills, it just seemed silly under the previously established extreme risk they were in.

though I enjoyed the majority of the episode, the ending was a bit of a "what, is that all?" feeling. the weird fella at the end has my curiosity so I'll just have to wait for the next ep.

Holy sakuga! That fight sequence in the first half was quite impressive, with some good cinematography and fluid animation that sets it apart from a lot of those generic isekai on the production line. Fran and Shishou's relationship continues to be wholesome, and seeing people worried for Fran is quite the sight. My score for this show gets a juicy boost this week.

I think this anime is cut above alot of isekai anime like you said. Not only was the battle well done in general but to see the side characters actually have realistic worries for our cute little cat girl is wholesome to boot. Most isekai anime the side characters are just kinda there and nothing else.

Looks like the crystal was a high prized item. I thought they were just for gaining exp. And if I'm being honest the honor of having the crystal should go to the one who defeated the demon.

Sword daddy changing targets to the demon was great. I guess he loves eating those crystals.

Hoping to see the curry! Not surprised the guild has "questions". But honestly, why do they feel they deserve the crystal? It's not like they put their lives on the line to beat the B grade demon???

The B-Ranked Demon thought it was a 1v1, so he never stood a chance! Teacher has gotten a new OP skill and the very end of the episode showed an annoying old guy which was their criteria for who the skill should be used on. The pink light in his eye makes me think he either has a charm skill or a lie detection skill. I hope they steal and seal that away, otherwise things could go bad for Fran!

Furan is so kawaii and there is a good mix of adventure, serious and comic moments, also there is much cute meme material (in a good way).

I'm kinda disapponited with the greater demon fight, i thought it would be way harder but all the tension built in the last episode was broken within the first minutes

Although it was FUCKING cool to see their team work and how not only shishou but BOTH of them are intelligent and can be very strategic

I hope that in the next episodes we get to see new adventures in another city!!

The cool down is 18 days per use. You also can't get a useless skill unless you choose it on purpose (at least no one has deflected it to my best knowledge.) The demon used an educated guess by choosing a common skill (sword arts) from Fran without identify and/or teachers identify block blocking identify. So naturally his spell fizzled due to choosing the wrong target, but if he had identify and teacher didn't have identify block he could have cherry picked whichever spell he wanted from either Fran or Teacher and had a high chance ~60% of stealing said skill.
