| Welp, another episode of negotiations. I do have to admit though, Jeanne is starting to grow to me as a responsible person, who is trying to do the best for her people. A lot of focus on Jeanne. I think they really tried the bring out the best of her potential. And tbh, I think she's a very valuable asset to her nation. |
 |
| the discussion with Jeanne is still going on, I only glimpsed it seemed to have to sleep quickly for tonight, discussing alliances? seems like forming a bond of friendship isn't bad either than having to be enemies. The negotiations no longer belonged to Julius, but to the Grand Cayos Empire and the Kingdom of Elfrieden. Boring episodes feel like watching Tensura, meeting, meeting and meeting :") Even though there was a slightly romantic scene of Lishia and Soma, maybe this would be the last meeting. |
| Well they did make a good deal here and it seems the biggest problem is solved now, it was funny how Liscia reacted to the invitation tho. Anyway there are still a few issues here and i am looking forward to seeing them resolved, the question is when they will be resolved tho. Anyway more characters cooperating is always a good thing. |
| The war negotiations between the Grand Chaos Empire (Jeanne) and the Kingdom of Elfrieden (Souma) continues, and since this series dives heavily on negotiations like these, I'd guess that this tries to be a Log Horizon wannabe that plays out differently. In this "Mankind Declaration" truce, it's obvious that Souma has issues differentiating mankind and demons, and requiring the others' help is a crucial must, just something that the others hadn't taken into account for that Souma has to contend with interracial strife that could start a war from within. Making rules and drawing lines is also a must to ensure which sides can do actions and whatnot, should there be a clause that could unintentionally create a win-lose situation in the fight towards peace. That was a brash decision, Jeanne. To request that Souma be remitted out of Elfrieden to help the Empire, that was shocking, even for a moment. But he stood has ground and continued finalizing negotations the way that the modern world has established, and it's quite the hefty discussion. Souma getting a lap pillow from Liscia is just about the nicest thing after the whole Talk no Jutsu session. Let's just hope that this'll be a win-win benefit to drive out the demons in the Demon Lord's domain. |
 |
| Good how they could find a deal between Elfrieden and Amidonia, lol of course Liscia wouldn't give Souma like that (xD) the demon lord thing sounds interesting... |
 |
| Lmfao. They actually cut why he won't sign the "Mankind Declaration" and teases Jeanne with half of the story. |
| The insight into the terms of the mankind declaration was a nice way to remind us what the dispute is about. Cute as she is Jeanne is a knight thats probably seen combat plenty of times so learning to survive on monster meat is normal to her. The discussion about the demons though really was interesting. It does take a lot of courage for Souma to admit his lack of knowledge so i applaud him for being honest and upfront. But the implications of it sure were grave. The meeting about what to do with the Amidonia problem them really showed Souma's skill at diplomacy. But man Jeanne's suggestion really was quite rash indeed. Taking Souma to not only become PM but also potentially emperor as well lol. Rare indeed to see Liscia and Aisha lose their cool though but defo worth it. Overall an excellent ep as always that balanced out some nice tension via the negotiations with some nice world building and comedy. Given the reaction to the name im curious at where Souma came upon the demon lords name. |

| I thought this episode was very good. it build the world a lot more and it showed that Souma actually had some weaknesses in terms of knowledge about the world and the outcome if some of his actions came to the light. Especially with the Dragonnewts and Lizardmen. I thought it was cute and funny when Liscia and Aisha got flustered when Jeanne asked Souma to come to the capital and Marry her sister. Very nice. |

| The entire episode was just negotiations, but I still enjoyed it and the time went by really fast. I wanted Souma to remain in command of Van, but he had to give it back. I'm curious to know Souma's next plans. |

| That was a lot of dialogue. They're really doing this on the cheap. Not surprising considering JC Staff's treatment of its "lesser" shows |

| Great episode! A lot more negotiations this episode with Jeanne who may be best girl imo now... She suggested the idea of Kazuya marrying her sister due to his intelligence and seeing what empire he could create which everyone was against xD. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| will we actually see any demon fighting THIS season or will it just be every nation killing each other like last? |

Easy, fixed it for them :) Politics and meetings have always been the main focus and the main draw of this show, so I'm not sure why you're surprised. |
| It's funny how they completely removed the story on why he won't sign the treaty. I really liked that story. |
| whole episode of talking. |

| This one was more of a chill one. But i hope that with this secret alliance we will get more action and smart plays by Souma and his team. |

| For me, this episode was so boring |
| Talk no Jutsu not bad but boring |
 |
| Pretty good episode! The show really makes 20-ish minutes of just negotiations entertaining as hell lmao. Jeanne out here offering her sister and the whole empire to Souma just like that lmao, I loved Liscia and Aisha's reactions. They talked about some interesting stuff, especially the parts about the demons, I wonder from where Souma has heard the Demon Lord's name though, for him to be familiar with it. Looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| He won't leave Elfrieden, so don't get this much worked up. |
 |
| just talk ,talk and talk !! this episode so boring as hell !! |
| A lot of guys saying this is all about talking and boring... Well, this should be like this since this is about politics and arbitration. It's actually interesting to see those discussions to know how the empire and the kingdom will work in the future. |

Easy, fixed it for them :) Politics and meetings have always been the main focus and the main draw of this show, so I'm not sure why you're surprised. I heavily disagree. Politic meetings & negotiations had been "part" of the overall story. The main focus since day one had always been solving the Kingdom's socio-economic problems the prior lazy King wasn't able to atend to, by introducing otherworld solutions/customs aka, thinking outside the box. Regarding the episode, holy fuck, I thought I was listening to Grampa's Simpson rants about onions attached to their belts, but in the most boring and cheaply animated way. The whole "morning yak" went from monster meat taste, to questioning the differences between beasts & demons to Jean proposing her sister in marriage to Souma out of the blue. Like WTF. The whole point of the reunion was to agree to a settlement on returning the Van kingdom and that was worked in a minute or two tops. The rest is boring stupid padding that vaguely serves as lampshading for a future event on the war against the Demons/Mazoku. There are way better ways to introduce a new plot point without resorting to the cheapest presentation of two or more peeps sitting in a cafe booth yapping nonsense. |

| Good god what a boring episode. I struggled to stay engaged with anything being discussed and this is the second episode where people are just stood around talking. Some things obviously work better in writing but I'm really struggling to find the reason this show is so highly rated. Last season I had to sit through an entire episode of forest management. Its one of the most boring fantasy shows I've ever seen. |
| Ughh another boring ass talking ep, well at least they wrapped up the negotiation. 4/10 |

| Seeing all the people complaining and dropping is always fun to see. The anime clearly focuses on politics and economics so of course there would be plenty of talking. If you don't like it that's fine but that doesn't mean it is a bad series. |
| Yeah, bit of hard hearing all the talks at first. I honestly surprised they decide to spend whole episode with just diplomatic talk and such. But at least its contain something worth the blabbering. Monsters meat, and the possibility making demon into another 'recognized race'. But its sure hold the greater risk. Not to mention Amidonia also had a nice result beyond those one-sided negotation, which kinda not so bad for Julius to take. You just need to hella pay some coins as a cost for your loss. By that topic, i really thought that Souma will tough it out and defend the kingdom positions even in front of Jeanne, or state an opinion to held a Referendum for Van residents to either stay with kingdom or back to Amidonia. But looks like the direction of this episode is solely leading toward more greater goal later on. The demon domain, and to maintaining a good relationship with the empire, which they already talk that out lot without any rest here. Nice episode. Jeanne revealing her true color teasing the girls there also quite amusing. Triggered Liscia and Aisha really fun to watch, lmao. Can't wait to see Jeanne sister while holding another 'talk' with Souma.... |

| I got bored with some of the talk but all I can say is that I really like Liscia, she's a sweet girl. |
 |
| This whole episode would be broadcasted in a radio and I wouldn't feel the difference. |

| Not bad. Too bad there was no animation at all because it was a purely talking episode. |
