Oh my, the teasing between Zero and Mercenary never ceases to amuse me in this show. The part where Zero even washes Mercenary's back shows more of their connection.

Storytelling wise, I feel like the pacing is still somehow slow. I guess the show is trying to develop more in terms of relationships, specifically Zero/Mercenary. The two are really starting to accept each other more during their journey. Albus seems to be getting closer to Zero too with the latter teaching some magic. Cute seeing the three of them sleeping together. Got a weird feeling about what Albus discovered though.

The interactions with the characters are fun to watch. Got to see some more development for them. Zero trying to kiss Mercenary was cute. Something terrible has happened.

Best episode for me.

I really like to just see them travelling and conversing with each other. Zero growing so attached to Mercenary was super cute to see.

Pretty laid back and heartwarming episode, except for the ending of course.

I really enjoy the dynamic between our main trio, it's really fun to watch at the same interesting to see them get along and talk about their experience and outlook on things.

Zero is as adorable as ever, also I really loved the part where she tried to change Mercenary's outlook on making kids scared of approaching Beastfallen by having him treat the girl's wounds as a pretext to her magic.

Very nice montage of them travelling to Latette as well, the fishing lessons were great and the parts where Zero teases Mercenary with the 'kissing' are hilarious. Our Mercenary is too much of a man to accept her request. XD

I also really like how Zero often describes the experiences she has. especially with the bath scene where she states "It's man who creates the monsters" and also when she says our Mercenary has the heart of a human. All this stuff she says is pretty interesting commentary on the things that transpire in this show.

Looks all the people in the village were immolated, looking forward to the next episode.

Such an easy to watch anime where you just kind of melt into the fantasy world and enjoy their adventure together. So many lighthearted and heartwarming moments in this episode. The relationship between Mercenary and Zero is so sweet and Albus makes the trio that much more enjoyable to watch. I hope this anime continues to exceed my expectations in the future

Lol at Zero thinking kissing is when you press your lips against the phallus of a demon.

Pretty relaxing episode, but the end looked pretty ominous.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Good episode. I'm really digging this adventure feeling I have when watching this anime.

So many good interactions between the characters especially between Zero and Mercenary, I'm really starting to like how closer those two are getting a lot. Mercenary doesn't even mind it anymore when she sleeps on him!

"Heartwarming" is an interesting word to use for this kind of series. When I think of episodic heartwarming fantasy/supernatural series, I always think Natsume's Book of Friends, not Grimoire of Zero.

I like the build up between Zero and Mercenary, they are starting to get all along, specially the kid (yet people dare to call development something "boring" and then they are the first people to complain when another anime there wasn't enough development for the characters smh)

ahhh, something happened in that village, what could it be? can't wait for next episode!

Hmm, I'll give this episode at 7.5/10 but not entirely sure if it's a filler apparently. Because at the ending, the scene was so familiar to me and maybe most of the fans could have thought about it. This is probably like in Re:Zero episode 14 where
Speaking of Re:Zero. This is my point of view, and as far as I know Zero kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho was adapted in LN.

Someone is probably abusing the magic from her book it seems. Guess there is more than meets the eye about her.

Anyway, pretty good episode, slice-of-life done well (still, have problems with her not knowing a bit about outside world... what kind of books she was reading?)

I was waiting for some funny dialogue to happen the moment mercenary got out of the bath, Zero didn't disappoint.

Both of them with the sex slave stuff again lol.

I wonder if the kissing segment is hinting towards Zero finding love at some point?

Zero is a great teacher of magic, If I lived in that world I would definitely want to study under her, I suck at fishing.

I had a bad feeling that terrible would happen that moment they made it to that town.

I think that man with the black hair in the next episode preview is also in the opening, wait have to wait until next time to see what role he will play and who he is.

Anyone know why Albus was hunting beastfallen so far away from his village by himself? I mean they had to backtrack through a city that seemed to be a popular place for beastfallen. So why would Albus have gone so dang far for head hunting?

That "soggy" Mercenary is undeniably hilarious. And now after all that Zero's "romantic" and playing time with Mercenary, after saw that burning village which means it's time to be "serious".

Zero thinks kissing is the act of pressing one's lips against the phallus of a demon to... (too bad Youhei interrupted Zero's explanation.)

A decent episode but that ending. Got a feeling that Albus will start hating humans.

Beautiful episode. Characters are very likeable.
It has a lot higher budget than ReZero. I love the background art and negligible usage of 3DCG. Everything looks like it should.
