| Man, if they wanted to make an anime original fan service episode they should've gone a lot harder then this. We barely got any decent shots of the girls |
| So, Eta is sexy and built...my sexual confusion has taken yet another turn. |

| I really disliked 2 things about this episode: 1 - Did Cid's friends really just steal expensive shit from him without even caring? Also what even are their point in the story now? Cid doesn't even interact with them anymore, just sometimes exist around them. 2 - The girls treating Cid's friends, in a mission supposedly given by him, like shit is also dumb af, so they think he sent them in a mission where he also wants these 2 to be in, and they immediately start beating the and mistreating shit out of them for no reason? What they did after they tried spying was fair game, but before that was just idiotic, I know It wasnt an actual mission that Cid gave them, but that would be a huge red flag telling me i can't trust having Shadow Garden being in a mission where outsiders are involved |

Well, all this bad filler episode really did is cement that this show only works at all because of Cid. Without him in it, it's just kind of bad and boring and the Seven Shadows are pretty damn boring when given more than 30 seconds of screentime at once. And Cid's annoying friends can just fuck off at this point, honestly.
I feel like, in attempting to give the girls more screentime and importance (a reasonable move to make, to be fair, and something I've actually wanted to at least some degree), the parody angle that makes this series funny and entertaining is more or less completely nullified: they take everything entirely seriously and play it all straight, so the show just becomes another unironic, self-serious isekai when they're the focus. That's exacerbated by Cid's heavily-reduced screentime this season as we only get a small few scenes of the parody stuff and, because it's so infrequent, it ends up feeling completely disconnected from everything else.

| @Atavistic the parody angle that makes this series funny and entertaining is more or less completely nullified This.I honestly don't get how people enjoy this. The plot is stupidly fun with Cid, without him, it is just plain stupid. And the actual "plot" the people seems to enjoy so much...aren't even worth the tens of thousands of dollar to produce this episode, when you can easily find better "plot" online. The pacing of this show has always been pretty great, to think that it was ruined by a filler episode...oof @Ayanokouji2017 If you hate fanservices so much then this episode is not for you. Apparently a lot of people hated it, it is the lowest-rated episode on MAL and IMDB. |

| They got the white and red outfits from the first OP. 10/10 |
| Man I'll enjoy this much more if it's an OVA. Well they are doing this for more budget anyway, I hope we can get the 3rd season. |
| Cid obviously planned all this as he always has the greater plot in mind. In the end, it did work out. |

| this was a funny episode with the 2 friends of Cid lol and a "beach episode" at hot springs for our beautiful ladies of Shadow Garden, this was really pretty for our eyes <3 |
| This was so good!! Haha I’m not sure if it was technically filler but I loved it All the seven shadows are great (and hot asf love the fan service). Loved seeing more of Zeta and Eta Loved how they changed into the white suits from the first opening!! |
 |
| i read the manga so i know this sis a filler but at least we got some fan service and new outfits sweeeet |

"The book by Count Virgin Boy, World Best Love Tips: Your Heart-Pounding First Hot Springs Date Edition!" "Count Virgin Body is the legendary pick up artist who has practiced the art 28.000 times in the course of his life, and at the age of 30 earned himself the honorable title of Wizard!" Seems like there is another Great Wizard in the world! |
| There it is, the Obligatory Beach/Pool episode in Anime. TOO MUCH PLOT FOR THIS WEEK EPISODE!! |
 |
| boring and not funny, but why not? fanservice lmao. |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| well well this is not bad at all !!! |
| nice to see the ladies in swimwear, but this was filler as fuck. hated this episode. 1/10 |
  |
| This is definitely a lovely episode, with all seven assembled in one place! A fan service perhaps? A very acceptable one. This is actually a good one as they also made it with dialogues concerning their thought process and thoughts for Cid's well being, and their target will always be him... lmao Note: if you really don't like an over-the-top Ecchi to borderline-H, and as long as you can bear your teeth it just to read the characters' dialogues concerning Cid/Shadow. This can be a worthwhile episode. (but it's probably not for all) This is a fun episode nonetheless. *runs away in panic* Btw, thanks for adding the Vampire Queen. Forgot her name though. |

| 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. |
