| I do wonder what happened to Shalltear |
Annuvin said: Almost the whole 3rd volume in 1 episode. I guess they will somehow manage to fit volume 4 in the last 2 episodes too. Oh well, I knew this wouldn't end well. What the hell are you talking about? This wasn't almost the whole volume it was two chapters |
| Pretty enjoyable episode. The sudden fast pacing of the episode from the usual slow pacing of the previous episode made me feel a bit awkward whilst watching this episode. Also, it seems like Madhouse took out some points from the novel while making this episode. For example: -sebas met a Noble and had a brief conversation with him. -the conversation between shalltear and sebas in the carriage was a bit longer in the novel -In the novel, sebas personality was explained in greater detail. -Zach's past was explained in the novel -The 'meeting' between Zach and Solution during the massacre was longer in the novel -There was a short conversation between shalltear and Solution about their hobby after they massacre zach's group -A certain creature was created after the massacre to serve Shalltear, albeit a short one -The duel between brain, shalltear and her vampire brides was a bit longer in the novel. -The short hair women(who met ainz and got the red potion from him) actually survived. Shalltear put her among the pleasure women in the mercenary camp. |

| Shalltear's true form was less intimidating than when i read it in the LN |
 |
| It did feel rushed but by no means was this episode bad, in fact I really enjoyed it and can't wait to see the blu ray and all that extra blood and chaos.. And come on, we finally see the BEST GIRL AGAIN and she totally flips out about the Love that was thrown her way and that made the episode that much better.. |
| I liked it. |
| Whaou, It was so fast-paced I don't get nearly anything what's going one in this episode.. Mind control, by what? By the old priestress light dragon spell? I think I rather prefer the slow-pacing of the old episodes. :( |
| Din't feel rushed at all too me. Loved the episode, Shalltear's monster form is probably one of the creepies things I have ever seen in anime. |
| This episode is rushed but I liked it. |
| Episode was so rushed it was impossible to enjoy. The fights were supposed to be much longer and bloodier. At the pace they're going I won't be surprised if next episode will finish volume 3 and they'll try to cram volume 4 in the last 2 episodes. |
 |
| It's obvious that they rushed some things but this was by no means a bad episode at all The brutality was more than real here and I can't even imagine how it was in the novel considering that it's even more brutal lol and I felt a little bad for those humans xD Shaltear in her true for looks so fucking disgusting lol like wtf.....The blonde maid was hot as fuck though and I actually wish that I was that guy that she absorbed because that is a wonderful way to die xD I'm guessing that Shaltear is being brainwashed somehow because there is no way in hell that she'd turn on her precious Ainz and let Albedo (her reaction to the love thing was funny lol) win so I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next |
| Whoa... Shalltear deflects those sword attacks with her pinky's nail. XD Brain dude does not stand a chance.... Cries like a girl. XD Is that Shalltear's true form? Dammit... Focus on Albedo now.. Hehehe Good thing the red-haired girl survived.. I hope. :) |
 |
| Good episode :D |

Jet_Blackhazel said: Shalltear's true vampire form looked brutal. Wish they didnt just skim through the massacare & put more details and some explainations in it about shalltear, but oh well. Arcanix said: Once again, madhouse proving that they are completely clueless on how to make a novel adaptation. all hope isn't lost yet. Though this episode was pretty bad adaptation wise, it was still entertaining. I looked up in credits and Manabu ono (the director of mahouka) worked on the storyboard for this episode. Not surprised much about the rushed pace now. There are still 3 eps remaining, maybe they'll handle the later stuff better. Or go typical madhouse LN adaptation route & make a rushed/original ending. If mahouka crew is responsible for this weeks episode it would explain so much, they really have no idea how to adapt LN into anime properly. |
| The op scenes make allot more sense with this newest development. Almost 1 volume in 1 episode 0_0 dafuq? Damnit mad House. |

| I'm reading comments saying people think this episode was rushed. I didn't think it was rushed though. |
| Kuroookoooooo-chin! |
barmar said: Arcanix said: lol Shalltear's true form could use some work as well uhh, and never mind the very shortened duel with Brain at least put some effort in it. I mean what on earth was that slash... I think even I could've caught that barehanded. They can't handle the fight better if they keep using this abomination of animation. The characters look like complete shit sometimes and in 10 episodes i can remember only 2 parts where the show had decent animation. It's hard to even look at it to compare it with this. Lol is she fighting Uvogin? :)) |
| i think a lot of times the go a little light on teh details to work people into reading the LN or the manga. it is a bit disappointing but i am sure even these guys know they are leaving out a lot, but with a 12 episode constraint...they gotta move things a long even if they have to leave things out. to the non LN or manga reader, the fact that she betrayed them is evident in this episode, and the next one will most certainly show how. who would bother reading the manga or LN if there was a 1:1 adaptation? |
| Awwww, some of the best details were missing and Brain didn't come out as cool as I was hoping... I was imagining more superhuman speed out of his slash... |
| Finally a good episode. Those episodes when Ains went as a knight in that town were all so mediocre, but this episode finally brings the goodness that made the first few episodes of this series good. Shalltear is freakin' badass too. |
Jicetus said: Shalltear was beautiful this episode. <3 Couldn't agree more |
 |
| That Brain Unglaus god flash was HORRIBLE :O Whoever did that should be fired on the spot, urghhhhh :'( Except for that monstrosity, it was good, they did skip alot of details but meh :'( Those humans could have taken shalltear down (with no magic and equipment XD lol) Albedo XD Solutions death by breast :)  |
 |
| BIG MOOOOOOUTHS. I can't wait to know what exactly happened to Shalltear. |
 |
| Noes Shalltear, come back QQ :(. |
| Better than last episode, although it felt almost like filler. (I don't think it is though?) In any case it certainly felt really rushed. The blue haired guy seemed interesting somewhat, but then we just see this vampire chick wipe the floor with him - because good fights ain't to be found in this anime. Also that fan-service with the blonde chick.... Shalltear or whatever you call her is annoying, at least she sort of establishes some sort of grey morality of Nazerick despite her being essentially the only one who cannot be considered 'angelicly good' although nobody else seems like anything other than super good people (except racism against humans) out of Nazarick. Well thats good, the closer to the grey area of morality the protagonist's side is the better (too much evil is also bad). I can only hope there will be enemies that are something else rather than 'satan incarnates' from last episode. Albedo is as annoying as always, she seems to be a contender for #1 most one dimensional character of this anime. Her entire character is just her flipping from semi-serious to fangirling over Ainz. The fangirling thing is just soo annoying and totally ruins the serious mood of the episode. I feel like anime (in general) are too scared to show an entire 'serious' episode and feel the need to include some comedy/light-heartedness to garner to virtually every demographic they can. Although main thing that pissed me off about Albedo is how everyone seems to compare her to 'Yuno Gasai' which is entirely baseless and makes no sense; Yuno Gasai was a *somewhat* well written (or at least well executed) for most part of her anime. She had personality and even some development & an aura of mystery for half of the anime. She was a lot more complex than Albedo, and was an actually true 'yandere', whilst Albedo is more of a caricature than a character and lacks everything that makes Yuno Gasai great leaving only the 'annoying' part, Albedo isn't a proper yandere. Well either way I could go on and on about the faults of this episode and the anime as a whole, but since my last post on the last episode's thread wasn't particularly well received by fanboys I toned this one down severely. Also this episode being better than last one lends me a glimmer of hope that this anime may not actually end up being entirely bad. |

| I really liked this episode and all this negativity reminded me to NOT read a light novel before watching an anime, it would lessen my enjoyment of this fine adaptation. |

|
| I was wondering who's the girl Ains is fighting in the opening, so its Shalltear. One of the mercenaries called Shalltear a lamprey lol couldnt agree more. Well last three episodes. |
"I have been wielding a blade since before your were swimming around your father's scrotum." - Kurou |
| The scene where Shalltear raided the camp could be longer, with twisting of heads etc.. Her true form was somewhat how I imagined her to be from the LN so all is good. |
Your taste in Anime is shit. Because you can't differentiate between what's good and bad. How sad. |
Arcanix said: Why are you tormenting yourself in such a way, if you basically hate everything about this? >.> Can't understand you, but whatever... whatever floats your boat. Oh God another one of those.... ''dont like it don't watch it'' that isn't really a good argument. I need to watch it in its entirety to be able to properly evaluate it. If people that disliked tv shows/anime stopped watching them after the 1st episode then WHO would review them? Only the fanboys and people that loved the show enough to continue watching after the first 1-3 episodes. You would only see ratings in the 7-10 range, not a good representation of public view of the anime to say the least. This anime is pretty popular, many of my friends watch it and many people on the internet do as well. To be able to discuss it and actually critique this anime I actually have to watch it first. Also this season really sucked so far, not many good shows. Also ignoring all the flaws the anime is still 'enjoyable' somewhat - but you don't praise a show just because you enjoyed it. Also come on, I even praised the show a little in my post and yet you go fanboying over telling me to stop watching and ignoring my praise however little it was just to focus on my critique. Everything needs criticism - no matter how good it is. Even my favourite anime of all time - Legend of the Galactic Heroes needs criticism to enable the possible viewer to get a clear picture beyond all the mindless fanboism. |

HandsomeMan said: ^ Sorry but I find it kinda funny that you make such a big response to such a short comment and have a LotGH avatar and it in your favs lol Well I have somewhat of a 'bad' habit of always having my responses be too long.

| Shalltear's assault form is pretty ugly :p Strong adventurers make their appearance! |

Nothing wrong with liking LotGH, but writing big texts and having LotGH as your avatar is just a funny combination is all. I don't need to say why right? I mean hardcore LotGH fans have already gotten themselves a "hefty" reputation. |

I mean hardcore LotGH fans have already gotten themselves a "hefty" reputation. I assume you consider it the 'mark of an elitist' or the like? Well that's.... perhaps true. LotGH being a really 'intelligent' classic anime is food for elitists to pray & fanboy over. Well I certainly am a 'hardcore' LotGH fan, I consider it the best anime of all time and the Jesus of anime, I'm still awaiting the second coming(hyperbole but yeah). Well it HAD flaws despite it being 'the best' that's true, and its all my opinion anyway. If I analysed it hard enough I could write essays about it being the worst anime ever. But you could do that to any anime. Well to be honest I haven't really seen many 'hardcore' LotGH fans on MAL. Well at least my avatar isn't fully serious.... notice the barely visible hammer and sickle on Reinhard's uniform.. lolz. |

| Episode felt a bit rushed, but overall i enjoyed it a great deal. Conversation between Sebas and Shaltear could have been longer but other than that i enjoyed it and knew what was going on. Maybe it's because i couldn't give any less of a shit about Brain that i didn't think the fight was bad as all (i enjoyed him being completely fucked with). Still my top anime of the season. |
