I'm actually kinda impressed how Mariabelle and Kazuhiro can fight together in union. This anime didn't really give me an impression on the action side but they can work well when motivated.

And this episode also shows the existence of the beast race. I guess they do want us to see a variety of characters in their show.

Interesting. No Japan this time, but a fight episode.

Also, let me fix what I've been saying lately: It's no longer just an elf season... It's a "cat-loving elf" season:

What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway).

And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea).

Kazuhiho and Marie bonding episodes are nice, but it’s good to get some story and worldbuilding in the isekai world for once! The catboy’s backstory and history of abuse/exploitation was really hard to watch. So glad Kazuhiho was able to free him from that situation and take out those shitty bandits. We also now have a new dungeon to explore!! I reckon next week will be all in Japan and then the following week we’ll see that dungeon!

I did suffer from a severe lack of Marie screenshots this week lol

Funny that Kazuhiho and Marie can communicate telepathically, the moment she was discover by the bad guy, he didn't think to warn her right away

Anyway, I am glad they were able to defeat the bad guy and rescue the catboy, what more adventure is await them?

Catboy instead of a catgirl. We;come variety for an anime. I am a bit tired, however, of dumb cat or cat sound names for cat people. Mewi, bah.

Mewi finally free from the shackles, and they've uncovered the big lab. Next week more Japan and of course food!
I like to watch some anime, I like to talk about some anime, I dislike wars over some anime, but more than anything I love to live my life, anime is an enjoyable and entertaining addition onto my life but it's not my whole life.

I'll be honest, I cared little for this episode. Felt bare bones and a BIT too basic.
The bandits being one shot was so unsatisfying too.
Not a deal breaker but I found myself pressing the skip 10 seconds button a bit much here cause nothing important happened here.

Usually, I like them to leave the game world ASAP. But this is the first episode where I would like them to stay and explore the labyrinth.

Well... that was not as good as it could have been, plus that constant "stop in the middle of a fight to daydream or talk to each other, like there is no danger and all the time in the world", really takes away from the anime story.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

@ejleon Yeah this series seems to not know how to pace a battle scene. Hopefully back to Japan next episode where they actually can be relaxed.

@Takata Very true, that's the part that has been fun about this anime.

Uh, a cat again. This is the 3rd anime that introduced a cat for a new character... smh. (but too much fur. they could've made him a flying mascot or something... whatever)

So, MC's job is an illusion swordsman. A rather cool title.

MC chose Elf-girl than dying by himself. Nice!

Then, they found a dungeon. o.o
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.

honestly, more interested in the japan side of things than the fantasy world. Marie having fun is more entertaining than OP isekai protag moment #6382

The episode was average… leaning towards being boring. I really hope the anime focuses more on exploring Japan rather than the other world. :]

Kazuhiro and Marie going back to the scene again to deal with the bandits and save the catboy of Mewi, it's a delicate balance of strategy to do the minimal possible and do the rescue without much trouble. Furthermore, his skills as an Illusory Swordsman, though weak, is worth the training alright to be able to level against the stronger bandits.

Even though the bandit leader is strong that Kazuhiro knows that he can't have an equal against, saving Mewi and ensuring that Marie is safe is also all the more important. But the stone that his Gramps had left with him that could spell a blessing or curse to the cat people, the same dragon snake creature has been seeking that same magic stone for the while, and Mewi can finally return it to its rightful owner.

A deep cave beneath where the creature dug to the ground, it's another new adventure!

Kazuhiro and Mariabelle fought together as a team to save the cat beastfolk child. Turns out the creature was only after the magic stone, and once it left, an underground labyrinth appeared.

Mariabelle looked absolutely cutesy-patootsy hugging that child!
