| As the party ventures deeper into the labyrinth, they reach an area where the icy walls gleam like mirrors, amplifying the mind games. Kouki is the first to fall prey to the labyrinth’s tricks, and soon, the tormenting hallucinations affect everyone. Despite taking a brief rest, the strange phenomena persist, and their attacks, meant for the enemy, begin to turn against their allies. |
 |
| I hate this hero, always spreading the idea of not killing, but when his emotions get out of control, he tries to kill the protagonist out of jealousy! 🤦♀️ |
| So it's just a test to beat themselves / worst selves, Kouki is such a noob no wonder he handles it the worst. |
| Last ep of the year and for a while since ep 12 is delayed till the 20th! Happy new year everyone! We went out with a nice bang today. Loved the focus on Shizuku in this episode and hopefully she’ll finally start putting herself first, and her own desires before those of others. That flashback was pretty sad, I mean her whole life has just been her being a “yes woman” to everything everyone else wants. Stand up for yourself and go for Hajime!! The last couple labyrinths have presented some cool challenges for the cast by having them confront their inner demons and insecurities. Nice opportunity here for some more growth from everyone, especially Kouki and Shizuku. Kouki in particular been neglected in this show so I’m looking forward to that! Also lmaoo at Yue calling out Shizuku and Kaori for being gay af. At the very least they’re bi as hell for each other. |

| So, Shizuku really does have an innate desire to be a princess. |

| More walking past the same backgrounds, more trash party, more PTSD. Aren't labyrinths just the greatest? The ice knights looked pretty good when they actually showed up. This time, the corner they cut was having the enemy off screen for most of the fight and just having the characters shoot into thin air. Speaking of shooting, these guys keep reflecting all of our projectile attacks (not MC's rockets though, because why would they), so let's keep using the same ones! Nagumo's inner demons should have played along and confronted him over being cringe. That would have turned out hilarious, probably. Next up is a cour check. Gotta see how this holds up against Winter's Monday titles. |

| This was well written episode, it mask sense they should attack their "rivals", but only thing is, why Shizuku attack Shea? Anyways, I love this series. I also like that Nagumo didn't doubt "Amanogawa", but was trusting that he was telling the truth. |
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. |

EP 11
Last time its already the last labrynth
A bit late to say i think(?)
Tbh the other op for s1 and 2 maybe
Like because s3 has two op it feels like they put less effort into each of them?
Also Im not sure if its just me or the story is written this way it feels like they were saving the budget for some
EDIT: Seems like arifureta wont be back for awhile thats uhh something
Didnt they already skip one week previously or something
Maybe some timeslot thing?

| @CocoaGalaxy I didn't really understand your comment, but I liked the opening / ending theme music for this episode. I usually always skip the OP & ED music, because it doesn't interest me, but this anime always good music. |

| This labyrinth is basically one of schizophrenia and jealousy. From Kouki, it was entirely expected—the guy is incredibly annoying, and it was obvious he’d succumb to his inner voice and attack Hajime. Kaori's situation was also predictable, but Yue's reactions during her attacks were absolutely hilarious. However, I didn’t expect Shizuku to act out, let alone attack Shea. That caught me off guard. On the bright side, this might push her to be more honest with herself. She might even team up with Kaori to face off against the Yue-Shea duo in the battle for a spot in the harem! |

Getting really sick of dungeons instead of actual plot. Starting to get flashbacks to when Reincarnated as a Slime had its conference table arc.
I enjoyed the rabbit rebellion, but other than that this season has been a significant downgrade from prior seasons.

| @amf85 At Slime's they were just talking at the table, and here at least something is happening. Additionally, there are some plots of the other characters (which is at least for me) a plus |
| This song basically describes this episode in a nutshell That being said, I like Shizuku's flashback exploring her about how she's caring for others. Also, the trial basically focus on mental attack having to fights while being distracted with their mental issues. And Hajime having to admit how much of a chunni he is. (Trust me dude, and it ain't just the looks) Overall, I enjoyed this episode. |
| I get to see more of Shizuku's past this episode!!! OwO I really love that new ED 😭😭😭 |
| 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. |
stealthyone said: Why is Kouki such a weakling? A better question might be why are not many of the summoned students total wreck. They a teen age high school students ripped out of their life and home world and dumped in a violent chaotic world with monsters, demons, evil so called gods playing death game with them, treachery (with many of their leadership training, and support figures from the kingdom being wiped out and all them being stabbed {litteraly} in the back that episode), murder, undead/necromancy, and assorted other horrors. You might expect a fair portion of them sobbing and cowering in an asylum. And, Kouki is randomly assigned a leadership duty to boot. No pressure. |

| Hearing your own voice saying things you don't want to say in your head is scary... also feels bad for Shizuku :S |
 |
| The first half was a pain to watch, fucking Kouki being annoying as shit again. Doesn't matter what the fucking voice is saying you're in a dungeon ffs it's fucking with you. |
 |
| Hajime just bluntly saying what his whispers were about and his cringe reaction to his edgelord reflection was amusing rofl. The rest feels like it's just dragging at this point. Kouki continues to suck ya he's jealous blah blah blah and I'm starting to get tired of Shizuku's slow progress over going after what she wants. |
 |
| Hard dungeon!! The interior voices of our kids can change the way of their attacks!!! kekeke |
| I would call this episode the "schizophrenia episode" lmao |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
| episode 12 has been postponed to January 20th Due to issues at the studio! |
| ngl This episode is pretty good, inside voice is most dangerous to you, specially when your guard is down. This voice could make you insane for 5min, normally there have no person which can hurt you with words, but the voice deep inside you will say perfect words to hurt you; to make you miserable; to see the life pointless; depends of your complexes. Be aware of your inside voice! Good writing for this episode. Kouki may be annoying in this episode but he having a huge complex to fight inside of his soul. You know the life is not only pink and flowers, the life is everything, sometimes you need to taste any color to understand the life. ps. I stay strong, if you understand what I'm saying. Happy New Year ;) |
| creative fight and funny ending with the edgelord comment |
| At least he realized that he's just a huge edgelord. Animation was once again really bad. |
| Not the best animation again but at least the plot was a little more interesting. I'd really like to see more character arcs of them confronting their insecurities and hidden feelings like we started to see with Shizuku here, especially Kouki. I think this setup can lead his character to grow in a really interesting way and would be great to watch. Also would like to see more Suzu; if that little slip of the tongue last episode is a small taste of what kind of feelings could be repressed? Damn. Shizu-shizu really just flipped that golem over lmao LostInLove said: ngl This episode is pretty good, inside voice is most dangerous to you, specially when your guard is down.

Having to confront the one who knows you the best and all your darkest secrets, the one from whom you can never hide: yourself. Happy new year! (2 weeks late haha) |

| Censorship is vandalism. |
| The premise of a "fighting your inner demons" make for a great labyrinth gimmick but good god does the show make it look boring af for the viewer |
| The type of tricks dumb/fragile people fall for and works everytime on them. Anyway. |
 |
| The Schnee Snow Fields's deep labyrinth has laid out a death sentence for Kouki getting hallucinations, but this could be privy to just about anyone not aware of hearing voices of themselves and just their ears ringing endlessly. But this seems the most excessive for Shizuku hearing her past and present tribulations, as much as Kouki is psychologically under attack from the same entity as well. And when it comes to pure monsters, the labyrinth's hard ice monsters once again prove even more challenging, and the tricky maneuvers just to stay alive in the great labyrinth, every nook and cranny is to be expected of its unpredictability. The effect finally coming to Hajime, how will he deal with the unsightly reflection? |
 |
| Kouki needs to get a hold of himself, how can he even call himself a hero with his pathetic will. Hajime calling himself an edge-lord and tricking his reflecting to show itself was hilarious. I'm sure next episode Shizuku and Kouki true selves are just gonna be pathetic. |
   |
| Agreed tbh, I'll be the first to say I dislike Kouki, but their response was terrible. It's clear that something abnormal is happening to him, whether it is his imagination or something else and they are literally in a labyrinth and literally just experienced mind attacks from the last one! Staring blankly at the dude and repeatedly rejecting what he is clearly hearing is the worst possible response you can muster in the situation. Yaegashi telling Kouki she doesn't doubt him right after asking a question that showed she doubted him is like ??? Since this is clearly the effects of the labyrinth and not just some random regression out of nowhere, I am ok with it and hope they finally tackle and put to rest Kouki's ego and inferiority complex towards Hajiime. Things also turn towards a Yaegashi spotlight, hopefully she can be more true to herself after this. |
