Man, those prisoners deserve better. Got to see an ugly side of their world.

Kunai actually thinks about returning to his world? But it also seems he's also questioning himself if he even wants to return. Luna might also be relevant this season since she has a dream to follow, Who knows though.

I have been trying to understand why I like Demon Retry. The animation is just serviceable. Characters are rather basic.
But when they appear, they quickly show a life of their own. This episode introduces new characters and new "kingdoms". Each one expresses motives and goals. This makes the fantasy world of Demon Lord a believable place for me.
I am looking forward to the action when they all collide.

This was a good episode. Pity they started the season off so poorly, that would have turned a lot of people off.

A bit strange that the priest would brag about that slave in particular, though, when it's going to get used against him.

Pretty sure this is a common opinion atm, but this season sucks so far.

Very focused on Eagle in the episode.
To think that a demi-human slave could have so much impact on the world politically because of her ties with Luna.
I like the energy of Akane, curious to se what she will be doing in the upcoming episodes.
Those ninja's are right to be afraid of Tahara & Yuu, maybe they will join the Rabby Village at some point.
Looking forward to seeing what happens next time.

Holy wow! If they didn't want to animate it properly, why they heck would they make Akane's skirt plaid? Watching the pattern of her skirt not move at most of the times she moved around was laughable xD

Not to mention, as usual, the pacing is awful with this series. They spend most of the first half of the episode on the Queen and her weirdo advisor, which is boring garbage like the pre-isekai stuff from episodes 1 and 2, and then a bunch of fluff setting up episode 5. At least stuff is happening now, but this season continues to pale in comparison to the first season.

The meh animation is one thing but you'd think with the screenwriter behind og FMA, Mirai Nikki and Boku no Pico we'd have better progression and not be jumping around like this.

Well Organ is back and Akane has arrived so it's a bit more tolerable now.

We got introduced to a handful of new characters this episode, first was that Queen Beatrice and her attendant Kongming, they had a very serious outward appearance but alone they were quite goofy, and then there was that Cocoa girl (Hanzo main) who is from that same country, and lastly is Akane who’s the third aide Kunai has summoned, kinda wild that he finally summoned a 3rd five years later lol, and she seems pretty fun so far, tho I find it hard to believe she’s supposed to be from the same game as Tahara and Yu, but then again, Zero exists so maybe it’s not that crazy lol.

And things are slowly developing in regards to Luna and Eagle, as I thought it was a good idea to show their backstory again since it turned out to be relevant to this season’s story, it was pretty silly of that old guy to spill the beans that he’s got a demihuman slave but I’m happy that Luna is getting to meet her long lost friend again.

I don't mind the story, it's not great, but there are plenty of meh shows out right now. I don't mind the voice acting like some do, it's not great, but whatever. But the animation...it's horrible. In this day and age, this animation quality almost has to be intentionally bad. Could it be that the animators hate the show and are trying to sabotage it? Maybe they're trying to get fired so they can go to another studio? Perhaps it's some kind of protest against bad working conditions?

if I'm being perfectly honest I don't think I can give this season any more than a 3, it's not the worst thing I've seen but the first two episodes being recaps completely ruined it's score for me, I can get over the animation change even though I don't like it, but wasting time with recaps when it would only take a few hours to rewatch the first season, it's not like you're rewatching one piece, it's only what 12 or 13 episodes? I can't remember off the top of my head, either way I'm gonna finish it because I really like the first session.

One of my new fav characters is here, and her character gets better later...
But because of the animation, you won't be getting her full loveliness in action.

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.

More about the brat girl saint and her friend which I thought was a boy but ofc it's a pretty angel looking girl with wings smh. Anyway liked queen Beatrice. Looked like female gilgamesh or somewhat like Artoria but is actually a hikikomori. Oh yeah and the new aid of maou is a fun girl as well.

The New Queendom of Xenovia certainly is a state where politics can just insert from nowhere, but within the crevices of its Queen Beatrice, she doesn't seem like she cares a lot. And although she even has a Zhuge Liang character advisor by his literate Chinese name but a female, Beatrice's quick thinking sullies the State of Right leaving even the convoy a little frightened. In reality, both Beatrice and Kongming remind me of Hikikomari Kyuuketsuki no Monmon a.k.a The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess's Komari and Villhaze in the exact similar manner where the Queen herself is in authority because Kongming drove her dad to exile, and then she has to maintain a façade of authority, how comical.

Other than the slave falconfolk that the State of Light has on their side, the rumours swirling around definitely has characters moving from one place to another. But Hakuto doesn't really need to mind about both Kirino and Tahara, and invokes yet another aide of Akane Fujisaki to help investigate into matters. And that's where Luna eventually finds him converging with Akane, but having to follow a convoy to the State of Light to save the falconcolk, Eagle.

Why the producers did not start the season here is beyond my belief...
