Never very sensitive, is he?

"Do it before Luna is hungry again."
Sir, Yes Sir!

Why does her eye and scars not heal? He said anything not completely destroyed will heal.

@LordCrueltyV I think it's because of Clevatess dark blood (or whatever the name was). She has checkpoint from when she receved that thing and going forwards can be healed not prior injuries. Big puppy put her back in one piece and gave her blood to be imortal. Just my guess, could be wrong.
Anyway, deff anime of the season with LOTM. Good summer is upon us my friends.

I bet the baby is going to make Clen change his mind and ressurect Nell in the next episode. Due to all that drama dump, there is no way they're just gonna keep her dead. Alicia fighting those disgusting bandits was great as well, although the action animation was a little average compared to previously. I'm really excited to see how she will get that legendary sword though. You just know a show is really good when it only feels like 5 minutes to you before the credits roll.. and that's with me watching ep 2 and 3.. one after the other. This is going to be a painful wait if every episode is this awesome.

I can't remember the last time I've watched a really good dark anime... so Clevatess has been quite the surprise of the season for me. Super enjoying it.

I enjoy the dark fantasy you have here. The Nell death felt not forced but also not tear dropping sad. It was a sad scene to see and nice to see how she reflected her action to the last episode. It was sad but nothing too forced. I nejoyed it pretty much. But cliffhangers everywhere are Maddening :C

Dude I swear these episodes are lasting like 5 minutes lol

Those squelching sounds along with Alicia's bones snapping into place was a little hard to watch lmao I did not like those sounds. I also didn't expect this show to be this gory.

Nell's corpse was messed up O_o

Naturally, Alicia would be floating in that barrel, not sinking to the bottom of the lake, especially at a fast speed plus think about the process of getting into a barrel while the scaffolding collapses and on top of that these monsters would probably smell her😐...shaky writing but the episode as a whole was gripping. I like how in this world, magic is a new technology and to have access to this technology you need the arcanacite. This is well thought out by the author of this series. The writing is good for most of the series thus far so where quality drops it is forgiven (The animation in the action scenes is very poor). Regardless of the holes here, I am looking forward to episode 4 and beyond. The uniqueness and good writing has got me hooked in forsure👍

The writer is great. In 99% of fiction MC would succeed in rescuing the girl like a hero on a white horse, but nope we were a little too late and she lies dead, torn, mutilated in troll's vomit and clevatess is like "well tough shit but whatever". Alicia is also super enjoyable, this crazy bitch is almost as unhinged as Panty and Stockings. And I love the voice actress Haruka Shiraishi (mostly known for Asirpa from Golden Kamuy), she is so good in portraying cold, capable and brave heroines - sheer excellence.

@Sigmar-Unberogen The manga really falls off after this arc. I quit reading it after chapter 20 or so.
@billybub I disagree that it falls off. There's currently 55 chapters and this season will adapt up to 25 which will conclude the arc after this one. Maybe you didn't like the arc after chapter 25 because school arc=bad but the manga is overall pretty well written in what it sets out to do though you might not like the choices it makes.

Damn, I kind of hoped Neruru would escape her fate.
Alicia on the other hand is such a badass but Cleavatess's healing is no gentle thing. I kind of wonder if she will go insane from the pain of his healing before the season ends.

clev still cold and uncaring despite showing some care for some people. Still a demon lord in the end

I really like how unique this anime's premise is, it's got potential to be something special. The legendary sword better end up being insanely powerful after all that effort Alicia put in.

P.S. I feel so bad for Nell though, her whole life is just suffering...

Wow this Episode was something else. Alicias regeneration scene was incredibly intense and raw highlighting her immense badassery and resilience to fight on. Her powers have limits making her intelligence even more compelling.

The introduction of magic adds an exciting new layer hinting at limitless potential. And it was incredibly satisfying to see the bandits get what they deserved.

This show continues to be gripping and unhinged. The tension was clear and Im already desperate for the next Episode.

I figured that Clevatess would need to revive Alicia and he sort of did with forcing his blood back into her and jump starting her heart again. Also, it was interesting to find out that the regeneration process is painful and so is suffocation. Now I wonder how she'll be able to locate the sword in the dark murky water, guessing she may be drawn to it.

Regarding Nell, Clevatess implied he would let her die with the baby by her side but I think he might reconsider once the baby gets hungry again (unless she can't give milk if she's revived with his blood or something).

after this episode, I really feel like this studio would be a fantastic choice to give us a proper Beserk adaption that's almost 1:1 to the manga.

this is like one of the cleanest anime I've seen with this dark of subject matter, and every episode I just think: "Berserk could totally use this treatment right now"

Still one of the best new anime. The only drawback to this episode all the intricate plot is slowing the overall story down.
The big goal is that Clevatees is aiming to at least take over some of the human realms. But a lot of time was spent on Big Sis explaining how bad things are. Alicia is kicking butt cleverly, but the story only needs her to get that sword. Nell continues to be used as a punching bag so Bandit leader can do some exposition. And why is Clevatees just waiting for Nell to die when he can save her? He needs her "skills ".
They only get 12 episodes and at this rate our protagonists aren't going to get very far.

If Clen was a human, I'd be enraged that he didn't save Nell before she gotten swallowed. He clearly arrived in time, but he just decided to watch. But he's an amoral being (or at least, he's outside of the bounds of human morality), so it's more understandable that he just wished to observe. Luckily, Betty didn't really chew much, so Nell isn't completely dismembered :/

Alicia came back but that looked painful. Also why were they having a q&a in that situation lol. Alicia's quite smart on top of being strong, she navigated the situation very well. Nelu got eaten but barely alive. Clevatess will give her ichor too. Also again the flashback visuals were a bit blurry so it's intentional.

I thought I already wrote about this episode, but it seems to have slipped my banana brain. I gotta say, the character dynamic is starting to shine more and more in this show. The more I watch, the I grow attached to the world; characters; stories; and plot. I gotta say when I started the first episode I did not anticipate the shows plot to take this very grounded plot line.
The reason for my surprise and take is due to the overwhelming amount of isekai "reinventing" the wheel of their genre by using the fantasy element. I thought this fantasy would take our female lead and make her 'apprentice' of the villain and she learns more about the world through the 'villain' while they learn more about humans and their world and they fall in love or whatever.

But because I didn't read the synopsis I ended up going in blind, coming up with a ridiculous assumption and came out shocked it didn't fit any mold that was already created. Addition, it does fit a mold, which i am not very familiar with. And I am welcome it.

Anyway, this episode surprised me through the humanization of the main cast, the hopefulness that our naive main cast has and a refreshing smart villain although I might be giving too much credit where credit is due. The way the fight is animated leaves room for criticism but its not something to sneeze at. That being said, it almost feels insulting to anticipate a shonen type of battle sequence only to be met with *poorly played kazoo* whatever that was. But again, its does the job so I should just take it with a table of salt.

I will be rating this episode based on 3 things (PLOT, SOUNDTRACK, CHARACTERS)

Plot: 7/10
ngl, very surprised by how naive the main character is... this dude is like >1000s years old
Soundtrack: 8/10
I love the opening, the sound track in this episode is wonderful, but Im not much of musical person so beep boop
Characters: 9/10
the villain is surprisingly cunning is catching me off guard by how witty he is when it comes to out smarting the main characters. And the main cast, except the knight, is just one naive bundle of joy. Very nice!

Overall: 9/10
love this episode but -1 for such a cliff hanger UGH

Alicia sure survived that harrowing fall alright, partly thanks to Clevatess (Klen) and his dark (blood) ichor to restore her broken bones, but it sure made her even more a threat to the Ravens bandits, as the demon found Nell enough to act as Luna's wet nurse for the time being while he pampers the former hero alright.

As if the Ravens could do no more evil, Master Vroko sure made his sentence bringing Nell to the arcanacite troll monster Betty to be eaten for her execution. But the mistake of Klen coming in one step too late to save Nell, though he managed to scare Betty with his presence enough before Vroko mixed the vitality of "magic" to recapture the troll's senses. And as if things on the surface are improving, Alicia faces quite the confrontation against the Ravens, and the only possibility is to get into the lake where Arvensis rests, to reach the legendary sword safe and sound.

It's a survival battle of wits for both Klen and Alicia, both in different ways.

Once again Nell has no luck and she made the mistake of talking about this proposition to leave her place. Meanwhile Alicia is so OP and intelligent at the same time, sure it's easier when you can't die and can stop breathing for a long time xD

Alicia has returned from the dead for another time, lol. I loved how her brilliant skills could come in handy both while fighting those bandits hand to hand, and coming up with a plan with the scaffolding and diving in a barrel to the depths of that artificial lake.
Oh, and she looks awesome with an eyepatch. ;p

Nah poor Nell, that was just diabolical.

I hope clevates does something instead of just saying he can't do anything so the others don't recognise him, but then again how would anyone recognise him, if he killed everyone?

Either way great ep, I can't wait for the next!

On hindsight, it is strange how easily Clevatess left Luna mountain considering how adamant he was about "protecting his land" before. I guess nobody really is in a position to attack with the hidean king dead?

This does scratch my dark fantasy itch though.
