| Really loved the arabian based theme used in this episide. Also, the succubus and griffin fights were good!! Great moments between Elinalise and Rudeus, reminiscing her past with his parents. All in all, I'm so glad we got an episode dedicated to the desert journey unlike the manga, which entirely skipped it. |
| Feels like the old Mushoku Tensei days again. It's about time we leave this school, man. We've been here for almost an entire season. Finally getting that spark of the old MT and feeling the adventure again really makes me happy. And ofc, we have best girl Nanahoshi helping out our boy one last time. I really hope we see her again—just not with Orsted. Major danger flags already. Not saying this plan will go smoothly and nothing will happen... yeah, something's definitely happening. Anyway, of course the first monster Rudeus encounters just had to be a succubus, didn't it. The journey did feel a bit rushed, but the animation was looking crisp for the first time in a while, so that makes up for it in a way. They've traversed the sands and finally made it to their destination... from here on out, let the real shit begins. |
 |
| Sealed with a kiss! Rudeus sure knows how to make a farewell with Sylphy. Elinalise also joins him on this mission to Labryinth City of Rapan although this turned out to be more difficult than expected. Very disappointed that Rudeus fell for a succubus' tricks. The "let's get laid" phase sounded like a meme. On the other hand, I am impressed that Rudeus took care of monsters when he got serious. More adventuring next time. Curious to see the anime will adapt the world fiction tbh. |
 |
| I liked how the first thing we mentioned in regards to this trip, which is to help out Paul and people, was how Elinalise would stand her curse lol. Very reasonable ask tbh. I hope Rudeus would not help her with that though. But yeah, being the first good thing he’s about to do in a very long time, it was actually really helpful to let Nanahoshi know about this trip. That girl literally brought down the total time from a period of two years to a mere month and some change. I mean a longer time would’ve been harsh on both the parties, and might have resulted in a trip with no meaning in the end. Good that wasn’t the case, and they kind of just teleported to the place. But man, why can’t this one thing just never stop happening time after time after time. Can we really not be done with Rudeus being horny every next second.. like can we not??? This has just become an unneeded recurring thing, which we absolutely are okay with if it ain’t there. Anyways, they are there. |
| Very good episode that had a LOT to cover to get to the Labyrinth portion with enough episodes for that. The pacing despite covering a ton, still was executed better than I would have expected. The Arabian-feel to its music was awesome and was the definite highlight of the episode, some nice little glimpses of world building of Begaritt with the land there, the monsters that Rudeus and Elinalise encountered with that moment with the succubus too that had Rudeus tempted so quickly after promising Sylphie he will be back and nothing will happen lol. Even got Rudeus at the market a bit and showing the food there a little which is good. Considering so much was there, they did an effective enough job in presenting the journey with some good scenes with world building, Rudeus and Elinalise bonding and having weird conflicts like the succubus stuff (which actually felt terrifying here with the succubus design once exposed) and even learning little glimpses of Elinalise's relationships with Paul and Zenith in the past. Overall as a transition episode, it was fun and you can feel that weight of what is to come to be big after this. Also liked the first half a lot too and while a bit more about Elinalise and Cliff could have been covered, still glad Cliff supported her with the magical implement he made (that at least helped her for some time at least before it was ineffective) and promised to marry her after. Also great seeing Nanahoshi help Rudeus out like that, partly due to her own research and wanting to get home sooner rather than wait for two years but it is clear that Rudeus is an important friend to her as well and was willing to take the risk with revealing about the teleportation circles at the expense of Orsted's warning to not let such taboo and major stuff like this be exposed to others. The little kiss with Norn and Aisha gushing at their brother and his wife like that was cute not going to lie, made a touching separation a bit more uplifting in a weird way. I'm so excited for these remaining 5 episodes since those should cover my favorite volume in this whole series. Glad this returned fairly well after a week off and considering my expectations for this episode to be lowest in this cour considering the sacrifices made, it was still fun, detailed enough and explored more than I thought in both sides. It is so much better than the manga just deciding to skip the journey altogether to get to Rapan recently. |
| Alright, action is back with Rudeus's departure and we certainly needed that after so many slice of life type episodes. Not that I'm not a fan of that kind of content but it getting a bit boring to say the least. In any case, thanks to Nanahoshi the journey may take less than initially planned... well, I'm not really sure things will go down that well but we'll see. |

| Oh, and I was wondering how they'll fit a whole journey + the rescue in the rest of the season, they'll teleport, nice. Lol I love how Norn and Aisha reacted to the kiss, they're so cute. 14:14 Holup, aren't these Orsted's clothes? Thank god Elinalise came back, I'm expecting bad things to happen at every corner now. A 5 minute episode. The fights were really good. |
 |
| The journey to Rapan begins and end swimmingly. Learned just a little bit about Elinalise and quite a bit about Begaritt continent ecosystem.  |
| ya know...elinalise was gone for quite a bit of time...did she uh....find some assistance? |
| Don't believe the hype. |
yhunata said: Damn, they didn't animate naked Elinalise. Figured they wouldn't, but was kinda hoping they'd sneak it in somehow. All in all, good episode. @Embient yeah, he keeps spares in the ruins. rip a real one eh? guessing that was in the manga? |
| Don't believe the hype. |
Welcome back to all the bots once again. Very legit. Going to use this post just as a tracker for future reference with adding images from time to time to show how bad and blatant this is.  |

| You help someone and get helped in return. Props to Nanahoshi for being there for Rudeus this time by revealing one of her big secret. That dragon incantation and the clothes kept in the ruin is hint enough to know who's secret she was keeping. Also important info, there's a lag between teleportation. Was fun watching Aisha and Norn's reaction to Rudeus and Sylphy kissing. Sylphy is worried ofc since her husband is leaving and at a when she needs him by her side the most. Don't make her wait long Rudeus. Come back to her soon. Cliff also being a great guy and assuring Elinalise was great. Let's get dirty, oh yes, lol. Elinalise fingerlicking was lewd too. Was fun watching their journey and watching the fantasy world. Good to know a bit more about Zenith when she was younger. They are finally here at Rapan and it looks fantastic. The labyrinth arc starts now. Hype! |

| Finally the wait is over! Felt like forever Oh no, Sylphie is crying and Rudeus assuring them everything is going to be fine. Being an anime only, I don't like where this could go. Hopefully by not naming the baby before birth is the key to preventing disaster for Sylphie and company. Elinalise was so convinced she had to break up with him because of her curse, and despite only having an unfinished prototype that he knew wouldn't work, proposes and shows his love to her. He is the ultimate gigachad! I have a feeling that there is going to be a consequence to cutting travel time with teleportation. It is going to be way too convenient if Rudeus comes back before his son's birth. |
| its finally back after what felt like forever another amazing episode feels like the old mushoku tensei with the adventuring part Some LN Extra Details (Volume 11 Chapter 8-12/14?) - For the first time, Rudy is going to disregard Hitogami's advice - Elinalise trying to convince Rudy that Geese might be jumped to conclusions and sent the letter early. He might also sent the letter because of Paul's pride because of his previous letter. - Rudy says goodbye to Linia and Pursena and asked to keep being friends and keep in contact - Nanahoshi told Rudy of the teleportation circles that she and Orsted used to travel throughout the world. With that, it would only took around 94 days round trip instead of 2 years - The quicker travel method convinced Elinalise to follow when she started to change her mind because of not wanting to leave Cliff - Naming a baby before leaving for a journey is a taboo in this world, based on Perugius's story of his companion, Feroze Star the Emperor-tier Fire mage facing the exact thing when naming and leaving hic child to battle Demon King Ryner Kaizel. - Rudy borrowed `An Exploratory Account of the Teleportation Labyrinth`, The Begaritt Continent` and the Fighting-God Tongue` from the library as well as reference incase he has communication issues there - It took 5 days to reach the nearby teleportation circle in the forest. - They fought green boar before reaching the teleportation cirle and Elinalise shows how - The incantation to remove the barrier seems to refer to Holy Dragon Emperor Shirad, which is one of the Five Dragon Generals from the old stories. - Rudeus freeze a water bottle and cool down the air around them to keep up with the temperature - They also encountered other monsters such as Treant, Sandworm, an army of Phalanx Ants, Giant Bat, Raptors and Garudas in their days in the desert, - Rudeus carrying spices reminds Elinalise of Geese doing the same, Rudeus thinks that was common with rogue adventurers and he often seems them carrying spices during his adventuring with Soldat's party. Differences from LN - Simplified Rudy's farewell with Linia and Pursena - Elinalise is a bit more dramatic and and keeps changing her mind between going to Begaritt or staying with Cliff after his proposal - Cliff's marriage proposal was made during his talk with Rudy and Elinalise that was skipped in the anime - The farewell with Rudy's friends is a bit weird in LN, the farewell that Rudy did with most of the people is before he found out about the teleportation circle, so they thought they won't be around for two years at least and Linia and Pursena may already graduated by then. |

| The soundtrack to them travelling was very appropriate and added to the sense of exoticism. Nice touch. They toned down some of the more ecchi elements, but knowing the way some people react to that it's probably the best choice. Nothing was lost storywise. |

| They are finally on their journey but it looks like the journey has been shortened, thanks to Nanahoshi. And, now they go on their way through the sands to their destination. The journey seemed nice with Elinalise. However, they had some hiccups as expected. Elinalise having her curse problems and Rudeus being affected by that succubus was a funny segment, the way he said it to her. LOL. And, she was also making fun of him. They have such a great dynamic between them. Can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| "Nothing will go wrong." Welp, Elinalise just cursed the whole trip now 😭 Seeing their journey to the labyrinth was nice and the music definitely added to the immersion. I'm glad we're getting this side of MT again after so long. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| It's been a while but MT is finally back. I'm not sure if the break was actually necessary tho. Finally, Rudeus goes back to adventuring. The traveling aspect is probably my favorite aspect of MT so I missed it a lot. Tho I do miss Eris and Ruijerd. Rudeus traveling with Elinalise now feels a bit awkward considering she's his grandmother-in-law... No way Rudeus lost control this fast. Not to mention he wanted to do it with Elinalise. I think the reason is that he was influenced by the succubus. Damn. The succubus in this anime are terrifying. The succubi from KonoSuba kinda skewed my perception of them. Anyway, glad he didn't cheat on Sylphie. He's not going to betray her that fast, right? Anyway, it seems like they already reached their destination in the next episode. Probably huge thanks to the transportation circle. I hope there will be more adventure or travel episodes in the future. |
| Nice episode. Looking forward to the next one. |
| Another good episode. They skipped some of the adventure but it's understandable so they can adapt volume 12 as great as possible. Also i've never seen such a high amount of bots before on a poll lol. |

| Peak is back finally. That week off felt like forever! Lot of that classic Mushoku energy in this one. Great episode S/O to Nanohoshi for coming in clutch with the teleportation circles. Underappreciated character. All that time everyone put into helping her research paid off in the end. Sylphie concerned look when she found out about the circles was so cute! God I just wanna protect her. Been such a great friend and now wife to Rudeus. She deserves the world. Not naming the baby before he left was a good idea, would’ve been putting negative energy in the world otherwise. My boy Cliff deserves nothing but happiness as well. Anyone who puts up Elinalise curse and lets her go for potentially two years is a legend in my book. Nothing can stop a man in love. The journey to Bergaritt while obviously speed ran, had a lot of the magical and fantastical charm that made Mushoku Tensei so famous in the first place. Big fan of the Arabian nights esque OST we got and seeing new magical beasts like a succubus and griffin was dope! The action scenes look awesome too, there’s a lot of big name talent assembled to work on this cour so I can’t wait for the big set pieces. “Let’s get dirty” 😭 yea thankfully that Rudeus and Elinalise down bad moment didn’t escalate any further, Elinalise mocking him about it afterwards was great. I wanna see that Paul apology to Elinalise! All these years later she’s still really hurt about it clearly. And we’re here! Next episode should be a banger |

| This is already better than anything from the previous arc, good episode |
| Pretty damn good episode. Mushoku is back, Rudeus is back adventuring |
| That wink was so smooth..... Sylphy & Rudeas goodbye was very heartfelt hope he comes back soon with his mother. The dynamic between Elinalese & Rudy is great, they are so funny together and compliment each other well in battle too. The monster fights was brilliant. Succebas scene was something else😭 "Let's get dirty" Peak story Peak adaptation Peak animation We gonna eat good for next 5 weeks |

| @stevejawbs even if they weren't bots, they're just spam accounts probably coming from the same Discord claiming to be dedicated Konosuba fans (the only good isekai thing, they said). Same spam accounts who only rated three anime: Frieren a 10 (which is fine); two random anime 7 and 8 respectively. |
| Well, I talked with my friend who read the LN of this. He said that they cut so many details here and there. So basically we saw a montage of events this episode. Not bothering me ofc. But we still miss some good little moments or conversations. |
| I need somebody who can love me at my worst No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth 'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst If you stay forever, let me hold your hand I can fill those places in your heart no else can Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim |
| Great episode even though it was mostly set up. I’m surprised the journey was covered so quickly, but it makes sense since the main event should be coming soon. I’m mostly just hyped to see what is going to happen next. (9/10) |
