Never understood the whole "blood taste like iron" thing in general, not just anime. Like have you tasted iron or something?? I may be missing something then lol.

Adonis teasing Belle with giving her a baby and her turning out to be a tsundere of all things was funny. We did get a kiss in the end, so that's something, I guess. Maybe she really is falling in love with him... so baby may be on the way xD

Belle bumping onto the cat demihuman Sherry who feels that her blood tastes like iron, and her free-spirited leeway with the funeral rain, going to see the lead solist Shandy Gaff. Her actions may befit her stance being the lead vocalist and King Rawhide's daughter, almost making a scene in Gaff's place with the drunk Guinness, and singing to Belle to repay her kindness. That said, with Adonis being the Examiner who examines broken swords, a Nidhogg Legna sword like one of Tiziano is a red flag, and helping to reform Kir's Lived sword into a glorified sword of Dillegnave, Adonis finds his closure with Tiziano knowing that the imbued sword is for good tidings.

Adonis's nerving talk about Belle and wanting to have kids with her, the Tsundere side of her shows if she's willing to. But still, his nomad curse birthed from the Collins family from his father that got transpired into him, he's on the mission not just to fulfill whatever the Four Solists are asking of him, but to find out who he really is. That fits in line with Belle's journey wanting to know her roots, and the two seem like they're made for each other. And the way to help Sherry with her singing, is through the muted Drambule who can only communicate through song.

The journey of being needed, Belle weaves everyone into her discovery.

To me, this shows the potential of this kind of show. I love it. I also love Belle & Adonis together. It just feels right, the writing here is just amazing to me. Bring me more!

Adonis is really direct at confession.

I feel like this is episode 8 instead of 7 because I sense too much disconnection from episode 6, it's like an unannounced time-skip or something, could this be a pacing problem?

Not bad, we got some character development. I like some themes in the show like the importance of named swords, the use of music, but those themes also are still a little underdeveloped and with only 3 episodes left we'd basically need an exposition dump to explain it (if it ever will be). These 10 episodes are almost certain to end on a cliffhanger and I don't know if it will get another season. so far ultimately forgetable with some good moments.

Alright if I isolate just this episode, some stuff made sense to me... but...
DAMN IS THAT A NICE BATHTUB!!!! GET ME ONE OF THOSE!!!!

Shandy follows divine decree, without question. Adonis has a high level position past being a top solist. We see he has a nomad's curse as well, by heredity. Adonis and Belle will go on an adventure together, but no bonking because Belle has not fallen for him. Sherry's thing that makes her feel needed, is hard on her, and is also the King's child.

4/5, I actually was following things without back to back confusion. Appears will go back to being just confusion going forward for me.

You are literally tasting the iron in your blood, there might not be much but our tongues are sensitive to it.
And I think it’s easy to compare because most metals have a metallic smell to them

I'm so confused, but in a good way. This would be an easy 10 for me if I only understood the vast lore behind this. Until then, it's an 8 for me.

Unless you skipped biology class

You should know that the hemoglobin in blood, the one that carries oxygen and carbon dioxide and also gives it that red color (think of oxidized iron aka rust), literally contains iron

Very deep episode. this anime is very game-like, i love it so much. Great episode, although they seem to have rushed a lot from the 6th episode. Everything in this anime intrigues me, it's very story rich. Very different from the common anime, follows very unique characters and story events. Amazing/ 9/10 as of now for me. Also amazing soundtrack, and i ship adonis//belle

I noticed the story writer of the LN this is based in, also wrote Mardock Scramble, and worked int the script of nothing more, nothing less than Psycho-pass and Koukaku Kidoutai (Ghost in the shell). Amazing, this gives me new info haha

Is anyone actually following this story? I feel like I've been dropped into the middle of a 14 year old's dream journal where they are just recording all this crazy stuff that makes no sense and giving no explanation for any of it.

All the animal people are divided into good or evil but evil isn't actually evil and any time the evil people want to do something evil they have to announce it and have a choreographed dance battle with the good side and then the good and evil factions are divided into updogs and downdogs and I don't know the difference between them and all these people worship a tree as a God and their king is a mutant with his brother's head growing out of his chest and everyone makes out with their swords for some reason and if you want to become a warrior you get cursed and have to murder your father so you lose all your memories of him and holy shit this show makes me feel like I'm on drugs.

I'm essentially just watching this for the cute tomboy at this point because they don't care enough to explain anything about how this world operates.

Wtf was that start? Adonis's dad got killed for some reason off screen??? And the reaction to it was nothing.

Adonis casually asking Belle if she wants to have his baby, as if he's asking what you want to eat for dinner.

Shelly is such a sweetheart, voiced by non other than Saori Hayami. And she's the daughter of the king too!

The way Adonis asked Belle is she would sleep with him like that was funny.
This is quite a different world than the fantasy worlds we compare with, it might be normal over there.
Sherry has a great character, I love how clueless she is with many things.

I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together.

@Janethan23 Eh it's not that hard to understand the lore but I'm kind of lore nerd. The show is really good though. I don't get why people are understanding it. My only issue with this episode is that I waned to know what happened to everyone not just Belle's crew.
I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon.

Damn Gaf killed Adonis father?

Hayamin voicing a sheltered princess, Sherry. She's really cute but has been going through complicated feelings and Belle helped her.

More info on Adonis of which some we already knew/could guess. Interesting how the two swords merged and became a new one, seems powerful. Have a few questions regarding this method like how many swords can be merged like this or for how many times. If it's unlimited as long as the user doesn't fall into evil than this would be very op. Btw lol Adonis really asked Belle to carry his children. Belle doesn't seem to mind at all.

Ok horse dude got his sword fixed and even upgraded nice. Imagine if even after his powerup sword it gets broken again lol. Cool two swords merge though.

Then the whole Adonis saying he wanted kids with Belle was kinda wild. Kinda funny how blunt he was I guess. Well I mean at least on kiss level already that went fast.

We also got Sherry a princess but who did she come from that king? Who's the mother? is there even a mother?

Also Gaf killed Adonis's dad wtf?

Wtf is this show?

Why did he kill that guy's dad? Why was this such a weird transition from last episode to this episode?

Sword healing?

Baby making?

Suspicious, ignorant, naive, singing princess?

Wha?

This romance with wolf boy was forced or rushed. I mean, they don't really have a chemistry but I guess everything is valid to please those who watch animes just for the sake of shipping/romance xD

Wolf boy was more 'worried' about having babies with Belle rather than her father who was magically killed by yellow kemono ojii-san. Oh well... lol

@IzanaSolos more like Bi harem sins there are hints Bell x Mermaid and Bell x Princess, so it could turn in to Bi harem

not really cause the way he spoke hes unsure why he even said this, more like primal instinct to mate with some1 who seems psychically suitable, what pheromones tell him, at first its cause of that, later it dev in to more, but it feels rushed and forced cause he mentioned making babies


i feel like they are going for a Bi harem rout

Cute princess-cat? as a new character this episode, and she's oblivious to everything on the outside. How adorable! and she's a fan of Belle nonetheless? her rating for me is going up! 🥰

I'm not fond of beast-like characters, but I like this oblivious character.

and so, Belle and Sherry became friends at the end of this episode. How tearjerking.

P.S. Damn Adonis for teasing and suggesting Belle to have a baby with him!!! 😤😤😤

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.
