| Welp, there may be a conspiracy of sorts behind this martial tournament. Tbh, I don't trust that Kyle guy. Not only does he have that strange eye but it contains a dangerous power too and definitely something to watch out for. Seems they're also pushing the relationship between Seika and Yuki a little and it's cute. |

phantomfandom said: The mindreading monkey, Satori, which based on a real Japanese folklore, is the spotlight of this episode. It doesn't have a destructive power like other monsters, but the mindreading ability is just beyond creepy. That monkey straight up gave me goosebumps and creeped me TF out! |
| Ah mr. I can do anything. In these trash reincarnation shows it's expected for main character to be overpowered but everyone else? Everyone is super experienced, better than anyone and everyone. There's no sense of scale to be seen anywhere. No matter how much talent or magical power one can have experience is not something that can be ignored, but this show decided to do it anyway. And my god... another tournament. Cheap and lazy way to add drama. I don't know... didn't dislike it, but it's painfully average. |
| Holy shit satori is actually nightmare fuel. No pupils just eyes black as night, that laugh too.. I love how seika has no issues killing people and doesn’t hesitate to fucking feed someone to his pet lmao Kyle is crazy op. Seika will have a hard time with him in the finals, honestly he’s doing Maybel a favour by taking her on and beating her so she doesn’t have to deal with that. Speaking of Maybel, wasn’t expecting her to straight up try to assassinate seika at night, damn. She’s a really interesting character looking forward to learning more about her |
 |
| So Mabel's a distraction created for the demons. Wonder who she actually is. We'll probably find out soon. Seika's ayakashi was creepy af. |
 |
| i don't think putting the beast titan in this anime makes it less generic lol and as usual, i aint see one fight between two girls... ofc not.... |

| Satori reading Seika's mind was a nice touch since to this point there was a question of where his line is morally with his manipulation. The tournament is pretty boring, so far none of the matches tried to challenge anyone... but hopefully that changes in the next episode. |

NOTHING, whether or not people like or dislike whatever past trends, no one can deny theres never been a trend like this... i mean, theyre SO GENERIC/SAFE theyre starting to name shows based on how overmade they are.. how do people NOT get bored of MCs that basically can't be touched? AAANNNDDD... so many anime are just so safe now... its like theyve become so terrified of online outrage or maybe poor sales, idfk anymore |

| Well the tournament went as expected with Kyle, Maybell and Seika all easily winning and going on into their respective final and semi final. That Kyle guy, yeah don't know how their gonna beat him but lets wait and see what Seika or Maybell do. That bit with Satori was so creepy, especially the part where Satori ate the guy whilst saying what he was thinking. Seika is brutal and I love it. Satori shook when Seika threatened him. Maybell you naughty girl you saw Yuki trying to sleep next to Seika and got jealous and decide to crash the party. All jokes aside, Maybell is out for Seika, she wanted him to forfeit and when he declined she tried to kill or injure him in his sleep. Their semi final match is going to be good. |
 |
| Satori tops this episode for sure. nom nom nom I always love how Seika can be brutal sometimes, though it's out of necessity than just pure enjoyment. |
 |
| Nice, I really like this slow pace kind of story instead of those "skipping the fun part" in the "background's hidden scenes or schemes"... What's more fun to see is Yuuki... |
| 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. |
| Yifa and Amyu better not find out that he planned on spending the night with Mabel Crane lol Just who exactly is this vexing woman? I have a feeling she's not really a student, but rather an undercover spy for...well, I dunno for the side of good or the side of the enemy. |
       |
| WTF? Mabel is more assassin than hero. Does she have a grudge against Kyle? |
| Satori is creepy, I feel bad for the poor guy. I like Seika isn't all goody-goody to let his pet eat that person alive and it tries to mindread Seika. So after trying to convince him to withdraw he tries to asssassinate him. MC is gonna 'play' with her tonight. I shouldn't be watching as watching and waiting for a week is a pain. Time to wait till this series is done and then marathon. |
| Mabel coming all that way our pimp daddy can't just refuse spending the night with her! Lets go! |

Roch2001 said: What on earth are you talking about? My criticism is that every issekai is the same these days. They all go to school, are op kids, have same type of girls flock around them, they have a tournament, etc. It's all the same all the time. There are notable exceptions to this rule but they are few and far between. Story can be made with similar premise without it being boring. Just look at Overlord, Kiba, Mushoku Tensei, Saga of Tanya the Evil, Drifters.EcchiGodMamster said: i've said this many times as i slowly turn into a fucking anime boomer theres probably 500 potential hit/cultured manga just waiting to be adapted but instead they keep playing it safe for whatever reason yes, theres the odd unique show or show that doesn't give a shit here and there but why they can't just give EVERYTHING a chance, idfk theres NO WAY people are NOT tired of 15 Kirito clone/"im even stronger than Kirito is" isekai/reincarnated/medievel setting/demon lord/hero anime a year i mean as usual, the waifus keep me watching but with how little fanservice there is in these new ones, i may just start skipping out since i pretty much know everything to expect as at least when theyre fanservicey af theres something to keep me hyped I'm isekai until I die at this point.

Isekai is not inherently bad, but studios are not being creative, instead they are playing it safe with generic shit that people watch for some reason. It was fine initially but after 100th show that looks the same and has same story and main character with different names... you get numb after a while. But I guess you are the target audience for that lazy shlock. So good for you I suppose. |
| I think you need to watch more Isekai. Your argument is bland. Western cinema and tv is dead with reboots and rehashes of the same stories, often self destructing by destroying characters people used to love and injecting identity politics and other such nonsense. At least Isekai although following the same cycle has new stories, new characters and although similar themed each one is slightly unique and has its own charm. Do you know why in the west you will get a spate of similar films in one year. Its because someone passes there script around and they get rejected but at the top people are like that sounds good, we will make it ourselves and not pay this person. An example is Deep Impact and Armageddon. Don't you think its strange two huge films came out at the same time with the exact same premise. Isekai is life. Long may we dream and imagine something different.

| We at peak creativity though. What more is the human imagination capable of. in terms of something new and ground breaking pretty much every concept has been explored. At least with Isekai we can snuggle up in something warm and comforting, both relatable and knew. But as a species overall, we our out of new things, because what is imagined has already been imagined for the most part. And to keep the 24/7 nature of our consume society they have no choice but to rinse and repeat in all forms of media. My thinking is my own, but its probably why I find so fascinating Hikari no Ou. Dont want to discuss other shows here though. I'm loving this one and I don't really care if i've seen the story or similar plot several times or one hundred times. It is its own unique story.

| Mind-reading ape freaked me out. |
| The usual tournament fare that Seika can do no wrong, and Mabel Crane is the new girl that surprises no one. Unsurprisingly, Seika also knows what's happening behind the scenes, and summoning the ancient Japanese folklore monkey Satori to extract information from the perpetrator by reading his mind, and eat him as her reward, this is some gruesome aftermath. But armed with this new information, Seika makes plans to alter the demons away from Amyu and focus on Mabel, since he was at the scene all the while. The tournament proceeds with its strong players progressing, and Seika will not back down from his fight with Mabel. And since some fights got cancelled or forfeited, it's the Evil Eye Kyle vs. Reinas's semi-final match ahead of time, and Kyle proves that with his gravity and dark element magic, nothing can stop him. The final fight's the next day ahead, and Mabel wants to be clear of Seika fast and attacking him in his sleep. It's a trial run before the day itself. Probably the only thing that spooked me is the mind-reading monkey. |
 |
| Yes I want to watch Seika battle Maybel now |
 |
| Mabel wouldn't stand a chance against Seika...but i would love to see how would Mabel deal with that evil eye opponent! 5/5. |
 |
| Alright so we just learned that summoners apparently aren't allowed in this tournament at the start of the episode, but now that I think about it, I guess it does make sense? If a necromancer or golem user is knocked out, that would also take out their reanimated corpses and golem too right? Meanwhile if a summoner goes down, that would mean their summon could go on a rampage if they wanted to, which is exactly what we saw a few episodes ago, and is probably what would happen if that creepy monkey thing was set free. I thought it was dumb at first but nope, it actually kinda checks out at least imo It also looks like there might be something else going on with this tournament that Seika just isn't picking up on, but Mable has? Also wth is gravity magic lol |

| lol that girl with the golem, thinking a few anti-mage upgrades would be enough to beat Seika, and even trashtalking him, can't wait to see him one shot the golem he summonned something that we could barely see, and it cut down the golem in 1 second, with Seika giving her back her same words :D she quickly followed her own advice oh, he can't summon tho, so he could have been banned for it Efa worried about the guy who killed his opponent in the first round, i would be worried too... but we know Seikas revive thing, so it shouldn't be a problem Amu is happy he won't join the army it's time to stop flirting to watch Maybell the enemy throwing rocks at her but she easily cut through them all the guy got annoyed and started chanting his long ass spell but there's no way she will let him finish, and not even the many walls he used did anything, as she easily destroyed them with daggers, enchanted with gravity magic...just right as they were landing (wtf) and finishing by cutting his staff Maybell was also the name of another hero, so they mentioned it during her fight ... she also uses the same sword type... could it be that she is also a reincarnation of that hero? that would explain why she is so strong next, Seika stops a pidgeon with a falcon, and stops the sender with earth magic, before he could stab him... it seems the guy wasn't careful with his talkings during the day lols the guy refuses to tell Seika what was the message... as if Seika couldn't take the pidgeon from earlier lol he summoned some kind of monkey that can read minds, lmao look at the guy trying to trick his mind into not thinking what Seika wants well it all comes down to them thinking Maybell is the hero, since she is strong and matches many of the requisites as a reward for his help, the monkey could eat the bad guy, funny the monkey then read Seika's mind but it annoyed him enough to threat the monkey hahaha as expected, he got the pidgeon back, but he couldn't decypher the thing, so it was a good idea to get it from the guy instead Maybell as well as Amu, both fit the requisites to be the hero, so drawing the attention to the fake one while focusing themselves on the correct one, nice plan next day, the tournament continued, with the killer guy repeating the same thing... and the next Seika's opponent, a guy who can use 4+ elements... sSeika easily beat the necromancer guy, and Maybell did the same, Maybell trying to make Seika leave, while he says she must win fair and square, if she thinks she can next, the 4+ elements guy vs the killer guy... and his evil eye can't be used this time, but he is still not worried and advances to the opponent without even dodging his spells the mage summons a ton of golems, but they instantly disappear with 1 spell from the killer, lol easy game lmao this time they didn't let the killer guy kill the opponent, they should have done the same in the 2nd round going to sleep, Yuki joined him in her human form, but they were interrupted by Maybell, she couldn't wait for next day lol their attacks didn't affect each other much, but with a drunk guy coming, Maybell left |
favorite "new girls" from fall <3 (lol i only watched these) ... click sig for older seasons  |
Alkimia said: also coolBro fr that was kinda messed up 💀 makes u wonder what hes summons can't do |
| hes more Eminence in Shadow then Cid from The Eminence in Shadow that's how real Eminence in Shadow operates in the shadows not making awry1 know that he exists but staying in the shadows like he does |
| It's already the second round. The pace is quite focused if I must say. Instead of dragging with useless characters. So, Mabel is just a decoy for Amyu. Kyle's opponent has figured out his power, at least to an extent. But still, the poor guy couldn't win. "Let's spend the night with her" Damn, is it what I think it is? I think I'm gonna like it. |
 |
| Ayo they got the beast titan in this, only he seems much more creepier |
 |
| Yikes Seika! That was one creepy ayakashi familiar. |
