The episode panned out better than I'd been expecting. Loved how they started off with sneaking around on the 5th level, showing how they were trying to avoid those kobolds who are obviously much stronger than them.

Mary's two moments, first when she was flashing back to her friends in her memories, and second when she actually saw her friend's undead corpses, really gave the show a lot of ambiance. It was good to see how Haru and the rest of them, despite facing corpses of soldiers, were able to recognize and become inspired to learn new ways to use their existing skills, as Mary's old friends had demonstrated. Without a doubt Mary's old team were much stronger individually, but Haru and the rest of them were able to recognize this and to hold them off long enough as a team.
It felt so sad seeing Mary dispelling and hugging her old teammates. The fact that she'd learned to use Dispell after she'd survived meant that this was one of the goals which she had set for herself and was determined to achieve before she could exercise her own demons. The fact that she expected herself to be the one performing this really shows how strong that she was mentally, even before meeting Haru and his crew. The only issue was that she couldn't cooperate properly with another team before meeting Haru to achieve her objective. Even though sending her old friends away was extremely heartbreaking, I can't help but feel extremely happy for her. It's like she can finally start moving forward again after so long.

Then of course the Death Spot just had to show up to give them no respite. The subsequent chase was entertaining, though did anyone else notice how Mary didn't seem to be shown running away with the rest of them at all? I noticed that they hadn't shown her at all up until she and Mozugo were on the top of the platform.

Props to Ranta for being brave enough to try and hold off the kobolds by himself, and for helping Haru escape from that drop when they wrecked that platform. I still think he's arrogant and reckless, but he does seem braver than before and more willing to help out his friends. It's pretty obvious that he's not going to die, but I'd like to see just how they manage to explain how he survives what with him being surrounded by kobolds right now.

As for him getting with Yume? Lol, did you see that look of disgust that she and Shihoru gave him after talking about taking a shower when they got back? As of this moment I feel like even Mary has a bigger chance of getting with Ranta than those two XD

Intense episode. Loved how Mary released her former comrades. The last second embraces were touching. Can't wait to see what happens next @.@

I kind of wished they showed the original appearances of Mary's undead allies for all three of them when she dispelled them, but they only did it for Mutsumi (which I cried at, and probably more so if they did the former)

This episode was amazing! I loved the reunion with Mary's past comrades as well as the battle scene. This is by far my favorite anime that I am currently watching and keeping up to date with. I can't wait to see the next episode, I really hope Ranta survives. The party needs him! He cannot be replaced!

It was great for Mary to put her other allies to rest, but was it worth Ranta's life? He's not my favorite character, seems impossible but i hope he comes out okay in the end.

I thought I missed an episode.

That was such a tense episode with them running and hiding from death spots.
But it was also really sad.
Mary had to see her own friends moving corpses they didn't recognise her. Though one did put there arm around her. I felt so terrible during that scene. At least she got to put them to rest properly.

Oh shit death spots found them! My was literally racing as they ran from him. He's so scary.
I didn't like Ranta that much but he's redemeed himself with this and now I'm super scared for him! And him only the others are safe. I know he'll probably be fine but I'm still worried he might die. They might pull that on us. Please don't kill him! Or anyone!

It the midst of their running Haru saying something about Ranta dying and coming back to haunt them would be the worst thing ever was surprisingly humorous.

This show has gone from slow crawl to intense drama really fast. The pacing isn't bad. it's the tempo has been pushed up. Which is a good thing for the climax of the arc coming next week.

It's gonna sad ending next week though. Gotta prepare myself for it.

Yeah, the problem is that they have to do everything in a single episode.
Wish this had just another episode to take things easier.


Yeah all in all it sucks that this has only 12 episodes and one cour. Hm I guess I know what they cut shorter in order to get more out of "that" which isn't honestly a bad choice.


Maybe if they hadn't spent the entire first half of the cour advertising the soundtrack...

Really good episode and it wasn't slow at all, They paced it really well.
The first half was nice with Mary recovering and laying her friends to rest.
Was nice to see everyone in the party wanting to become stronger, Ranta really needs to get one of those 'Signature Finishing Moves' xD

Second half was really exciting, Death Spots is way too strong for the party.
Ranta being the hero was pretty awesome.
Go Ranta! Show those Kobolds who the boss is ;)

It was sad seeing Mary part with old party member and then them turning into 'ash' especially when Michiki holds her head after she's used the light spell on her. then Death Spots appears and Ranta's now looking like a seriously awesome Dark Knight, once having falling down not panicking and taking those Kobolds on head on.

I hope everyone gets out fine

That flashback just felt weird. Didn't like it at all.
Experienced Mery leading the part, but she's not fine.
Now they're at the place where her nakamas died
Her dead nakamas moving under some spell.
Now it's translated as "Haru" not "HAL" anymore but I'll still call him HAL. (the movie)
Mery's nakamas finally pass on
We got some crusty wolf now, a dead spot.
O shit it's calling all creeps (a goosebumps book title lel)
Seems like someone's gonna die before the anime ends. (hopefully not)
Ranta is probably gonna die
They are going to save Ranta but he still might die.
First half was too weak, starting of 2nd half was weak as well, mid-ending of the episode was good only. Overall average episode.
2/5

Fuck. What a fantastic episode. First half was great, second half was intense. The use of soundtracks in this episode was great as well. Just loved the teamwork in this one. Just goes to show how much they've grown. It's such a great thing to see. Ranta was badass, hands down.

Really sad next time is the final episode. Hopefully next episode won't be the last we see of this great show.

At first I thought It was gonna be all chill till the last episode but nope! Mary's old party members came back. I keep thinking why I did not expect that(I feel so dumb). Then after that I thought it was all good then fvkin' Death Spots came!(Again.. I forgot about that). Followed by an intense escape scene which was really awesome combined with the soundtrack. The end made Ranta a bit badass but... Meh. Still, great episode!

Loved Rantara characters from the start, and you could see that he had something good inside of him but he was always like trying to portray himself as uninterested/emotionless.

I hope Ranta won't die, i know that he is a lucky bastard but still, he is in trouble.
And i thought that this episode would have a good ending.

If only every single episode of Grimgar is like this, this anime will go straight to AOTS list already. A-1 really goin' all out this time.

Ranta may be a pain sometimes, but at times he does prove a point.

This episode? MVP Ranta. From the small details of helping Shihoru up till being able to tag team an undead without saying a word, slowly but surely this guy is changing because of Haruhiro.

Finally, Ranta is now going head on with tons of kobold including Death Spots at the same time taunting them; this guy is insane lol. I think he still has a trick or two under his sleeves, if not, he wouldn't be so confident. Hopefully he can survive until the party reaches him, or he reaches the party?!

Mary is so strong for giving her old friends some kind of alternative to burial, proud of her.. I believe she had some romantic tension with Michiki, that's what I felt from the scene at the beginning and later when she cried while performing "dispel" on him. Makes the scene all the more sad...

Ranta you better not die, you idiot. We had enough deaths for this season.

Great episode as always!

It finally became good again,i can feel the same mmo/hardcore/fantasy feel than for the 3 first episodes,i'm kinda hyped for the last episode now.

I will still think that this anime was a total disappoint but if i can get good memories from the final i will raise the note a bit
