| Did I just see a love confession in my tragedy anime? No no no, please don't be an obvious death flag. |
 |
| The sightseeing may have been a little out of the flow for this episode, but something tells me that the sightseeing is just a major death flag for Tiat... Lol, I thought the confrontation between the Annihilation Knights and Willem was staged. But he was flicking coins? Taking a page from Leiur's book I see... Aww, how sweet for Chtholly to say that. But those "visions" she's getting doesn't sound good at all. And her eyes turning red is a disturbing sight. Guess we will get the explanation for that later in the series. Slaps are usually louder than punches, so that punch must have hurt a lot! |
 |
| Why is pacman a chick kebab chef in this anime ? lol |
| Back to back episodes of Willem getting slapped, poor guy. |

Snaita said: Didn't get why all that drama when he decided to stay... Does she know where his going? If the bunny wasn't punched in the novel, why now in the anime, he didn't say something so terrible for that did he? The drama is not because of where he went but because he decided to go and not stay with her. Unfortunately the anime fails at giving the idea of time between events. Also while you can read 3-4 episodes worth of stuff in 2~ hours here you have to wait 3-4 weeks; so the sense of discomfort is lost, also due to the comedy bits that are necessary in the novel to set the moods while in the anime seem reduntant and out of place. Anyway she survived to get back to him and to fulfill her part of the promise. They were heading back to home, after the battle that lasted 1 month; then a random dude appeared and "kidnapped" Willem. She got pissed at that for good reasons. She has a sense of urgency too, as well as longing for him; but that will be explained next week. The discussion with the bunny was cut almost in half; so the punch was probably a present for the LN readers. It didn't really give more info than what you saw in the anime. However it gave reasons to Willem to hate him enough to punch him: 1) "Even if there is some favoritism going on between the manager and his subjects, as long as there is no hindrance to their effectiveness on the battlefield, it is not our business to interfere" Here he basically told Willem to not hinder their capability as weapons. All he did was acting like a father figure to them; so being labeled as a liability for their effectiveness as weapons, even if just a speculation, was enough to make him rage. Also because the bunny only really saw them as weapons. 2) In the novel the bunny had soldiers with him, and threatened to use force if Willem kept refusing. Willem refused once, then the bunny said the name "Suwong Kandel" and he also threatened him. 3) Then there was the scene between Chtholly and Willem, which further strengthened the hate vs the bunny since he was basically just slowing their reuinion and the fulfillment of their promise. Nephren reminded him that he still had to fulfill his part. Also Chtholly left angry due to this conversation, which was different from the one in the anime. So Willem had two more reasons to hate the bunny. 4) After the girls left the bunny mocked Willem for the face he made, he was crying. And this was the last reason for him to punch him. |

Well that makes way more sense, thanks. I think they could have handled all that better... It's a shame, finally when we have a full adaptation of a LN(I think), this happens. |
| Did she just confess?!? It got significantly more interesting at the end with the weird bunny. |

| good lord that child voice in Ctholly's vision is creepy as hell Great job to the VA, whoever you are |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| At first glance, it seems that all that has been narrated serves as an excuse to show others and introduce the spectator in the next step of the story. Frankly, narrative is unclear to me, though it is embedded in elements that will surely find its meaning beyond history. |

Youngest seiyuu this season, 7 years old. Scene name is okada hikari (岡田日花里). |

I don't think it's ambiguous, he clearly punched in the LN as well. The scene simply cut right before he does it, but we know he did it. |

| thanks to Kutori for the unnecessary drama. wasn't it just a meeting he was invited to? why the tears? just when I thought she couldn't get any more annoying |
pennsatucky said: thanks to Kutori for the unnecessary drama. wasn't it just a meeting he was invited to? why the tears? just when I thought she couldn't get any more annoying Or maybe you'll just need to watch next week's episode to understand, if the answer isn't clear for you right now (yo utechnicall ycould already because you have all the elements, but next week will probably tells you directly so even if you didn't manage to guess, it's fine). I wonder if you will still be able to say 'unnecessary drama" or "why the tears" or "annoying" afterwards. |

Unconcerned said: The pacing and direction are wonky. All of a sudden she is a trained fighter but they didn't show or give proper explanation to the time she spent training. All we got was one scene where he showed her there was a different way. You mean Chtholly (Kotori) right ? She always had been a fighter and she always did fight the beast before even met Willem. Willem showed her a way to fight without using the gate of fairies. But she was already a powerful fighter before. Unconcerned said: Random confession which the way it was placed didn't carry much weight. That final scene felt like it was missing something. Felt oddly dramatic with little reason. Don't get me wrong I still like this show, but I feel like reading the light novels is going to be a must for me because the anime doesn't seem to be doing it justice. I do not agree with you that it was a random confession. It was already foreshadowed that Kotori started to develop feelings for him. |

Unconcerned said: Cyanwasserstoff said: I mean who else. I get she was already a fighter, that's pretty clearly laid out in their first fight. However they implied this episode that she had learned from him more so than the one fight we saw. However the direction and general way they handled it didn't really give good context to the time they spent training. From what I hear the light novel states they trained for about a month prior to that battle. Which with that given context would have made my given complaint moot. You mean Chtholly (Kotori) right ? She always had been a fighter and she always did fight the beast before even met Willem. Willem showed her a way to fight without using the gate of fairies. But she was already a powerful fighter before. I do not agree with you that it was a random confession. It was already foreshadowed that Kotori started to develop feelings for him. Also the confession wasn't random in the sense that it was unexpected. More to the point that it was quick and poorly lol so random placed. It wasn't even "foreshadowed" as it was spelled out during the massage scene. I am not complaining about obvious things that yeah have been obvious. I am talking about poor direction and overall pace. Not really. In the light novel, the author explains between the dialogus saying that they trained for a few days. Go back to episode 2, kutori said the timere is predicted to appear in 5 days before the training started, so you can conclude an interval of 5 days approx. was spent on training, and willem told grick he showed them everything he may know. However, most of that was just to get kutori to embrace the better way of dealing damage to the enemy once the blade hits the target. He already acknowledged her for being a talented fighter, and she's been fighting already as you guys already stated. He quickly showed her some techniques like speed/dash technique he uses often. What the author stresses here is how kutori much took them to heart and has been keeping a close eye on willem which plays into her feelings for him. From her perspective, Willem has shown her many firsts in this ephemeral life span of hers. |

| @Unconcerned @ksdl It's a translation error. She said: "In this world ,right now/at this time, I am probably the one that knows the best your fighting style and strength". They forgot to translate ima, before kono sekaide. Atm only she fought him directly, to her knowledge. She did say "tabun", so didn't assume that she truly is..but yeah. |
AnathorMay 13, 2017 5:01 AM
| And to the reason why she is fallen in love. An example : Before she met Willem, her only reason to live was to sacrifice herself to fulfill her duty. No matter what she had thought, there was no other way. But Willem simply showed her that she does not have to sacrifice herself, and he gave her another reason to live, and that was the promise. |

| Shouldn't have read the spoiler XD Chtholly Nota Seniorious |
| This show is such a sparkling gem! it gets better especially the romance part and also the worries of being apart each other. Chtholly really loves Willhelm! 5/5. |
 |
| The OP of this show is GOD~~ |
Anathor said: Leo_10 said: Did Chtholly confessed while she run pass Willem. Watched at super slow speed :p she did move the lips. Also in the LN it was a normal dialogue not inner monologue. Ok thank you. I thought she said it based on Willhem's reaction, but I didn't catch the lips moving. Good to hear it was the real deal |
| A little action showing the previous battle. ... I wish I could like this anime more, but it's just so "meh"... |

| I wish Chtholly and WIllem will just make out already! Damn they're too cute! |
Zefyris said: lol at the "défense de dégringoler" warning everywhere xD. One of funniest warning I ever saw in French. lol as a Frenchman it got a good laugh out of me. Anyway, weakest episode so far IMO. Nothing much happened and there were less development than usual. |
| Je trempe mes cookies dans tes larmes. |
| I never expected to enjoy this show as much as I do. The ridiculous title alone should have scared me away. I really like the melancholic atmosphere, the music and I just want to see all of those girls save. I just know that won't be the case though... |
| Chtholly confessed her feelings!!! |
 |
| Oh man that ending broke my heart a lil bit tbh. |
| Utterly boring.. |
 |
| Decent progression, but it still feels a bit slow :| |
