did a-chan took her life after that?
she said she will on the new world that bakarina gave her and be with Bakarina again in afterlife. not so instant isekai-ed process eh?. like in Buddhism.
after this Ep. I feel like Bakarina won't end up being with either of them. Mary (my best ship) has been taken by Alan, she will try to deny it tho. and other character will be in next episode. Or maybe Bakarina will realise that her character is an obstacle in her friend love life.
Now I'm sad

I wasn't expecting to see Acchan's POV after Katarina's old self died in the traffic accident. Very emotional and made me tear up a little. I wonder how Acchan made her way into the Fortune Lover world though. And if Sophia will ever regain her past life's memories.

I wonder who that dark shadow was. And who summoned that whirlwind that saved Katarina and Sophia. I originally though Sophia had conjured it due to a sudden burst of emotion, but i guess not. Is there someone else who controls dark magic (shadow magic?) and another who controls wind magic?

I'm guessing most of the material was from the LN since I've only read the manga and don't remember any of that happening.

Still, this episode was enjoyable. I feel like the animation quality drops at times but I'm here more for the characters and the plot.

Did Acchan die? Did she grow old and die or did she die in a accident or perhaps... commit suicide? What happened? She's lucky to be reincarnated in the same world/game as Katarina.

This episode had some good integration of 3DCG with 2D (like the scene of Catarina when she was alone exploring) but also at times It felt the drawing quality was quite lower. Might have to rewatch previous episodes to confirm.

Overall, I like where this is going. Haven't read the novel, but I hope the doom flag plot drive makes things interesting from now on.

Come on, so in the previous life:

- The best friend forever of Baka was a girl that she met during a so short period that she had not time to share or complete more than ONE game?
Poor previous life Katarina... and yet was reincarnate in the body of a villain destined to DIE or be exiled also as a teenager?
Are you kidding with her, God!?

Katarina and Tanya should be friends.

You know, I don't think it would be a good long-term strategy for a magic school to regularly end up killing off the sons and daughters of noble families in their midterm tests. Either this is a new magic academy or there was a lot of behind the scenes babysitting going on.

Also, it isn't often that the main character causes a TPK after surviving the dungeon by feeding everyone poisonous mushrooms...

Well, this episode is special though: anime-original content that's not in the LN nor the LN-manga adaptation counterpart, exploring more of Sophia and Katarina's relationship.

So the short backstory in the beginning...was Sasaki and Bakarina (before reincarnation)'s meeting, and the ever-so-seemingly Truck-kun diminishing their short friendship. Who'd we know that Sasaki IS Sophia...

And a dungeon exam (that's full of traps) to conquer because filler content for Magic School. And as per usual, Bakarina in all situations is still clumsy and a dimwit, no amount of logic is profoundly stupid of her. Even her brain power's at a standstill (and is aware of the filler content).

Nevertheless, the princes and Sophia's powers to save the villainness who plans to eat mushrooms...add in an extra shadow spirit (whom speculations arose from Maria's suspicions). Who/What could it be though?

Finally got a confirmation that Sophia is another isekai'd person! I was really looking forward to when they're gonna reveal it when they gave a hint last week during the shopping scene, and how Acchan and Sophia share Inorin's voice.

I wasn't expecting the episode to start off from Acchan's point of view when she became friends with Katarina back when she was alive. Their friendship was very close up until the accident that killed Katarina. Seeing Acchan struggling to come to terms with her friend's death was really sad, though. =(

After that, the scene transitioned to Sophia, who woke up with tears in her eyes. I think this is enough confirmation that Acchan lived her full life, then reincarnated as Sophia in this world. I REALLY hope that they touch on this subject again soon, as I really want to see these two friends having a true reunion once more. =)

Either way, the whole exam test was pretty good, with Geordo and Keith's antics never fail to amuse me and Katarina's natural clumsiness was pretty good, too. The main focus here was the shadow spirit that kept hovering around Katarina. Even Maria was able to notice this as well, so it makes me wonder who this figure really is.

I hope that Katarina didn't eat those mushrooms, though. Same with the others, too. XD

I really like how often in anime, even in the lighthearthed ones, suddenly come out some serious event or reflections about life or some deep teaching, this reflects the profound japanese mentality and the influence of Buddhism and Shinto.
The backstory between Bakarina and Sophia is really emotional.
Anyway we all thought this for a moment:



LOL! I found this on FB XD

Wow, that first part was sad. At first, I was confused whose perspective it was. I initially thought it was Catarina in her past life, wanting to meet her friend again. But turns out it's from her friend's perspective.

I really loved that part. It's not often that we see the people who are left behind after the protagonist's death in their past life. It took me by surprise and I loved it. It was really sad to see Acchan grieving over Catarina's past life's death. And so it seems when she died, she was reborn as Sophia in this world? They do have similar personalities. And so timelines in the real world and in this isekai doesn't have to be in sync, I see (Catarina died probably years before Acchan died, but they were reborn in the same year in this world). It's really sweet that Acchan's wish was fulfilled and that she's met Catarina again and have become friends.

What was that black spectre...?

If all the dungeon test was filler, anime original content, perhaps the mysterious dark shadow is that too?


Ok, to me the council presidente Sirius is the bachelor from the secret hard route (that you are only able to play when you finish the game, what Kat never was able to do).

And since Maria is the game protagonist, in this route she was the person destined to cut in his sad life and bring him to happiness, to a happy ending (just like Georgo, Keith, Alan and Nicol, until Kat took this job).

But Maria is not interested in him now and Katarina is not aware that he is one of the game main characters that she should approach to indirectly avoid any bad ending.

So, my guess is that the dark shadow is something related to Sirious Dieke who is being carry freely to a bad ending without any intervention.

What a thrilling episode! Bakarina can't be alone, can she? -w-; Everytime she encounters something, she tries her luck by touching it... not good.
She sounded like a child the moment she pushed that button, like "Oohhh... What does this button do?" XD

Could it be?? I had a feeling Sophia was Catarina's friend at that time after that bad dream. I think they may share those souls from previous lives.
I bet they are the same :)

Lol, what's with this filler episode? This was never in the light novels. I found humor in this episode because it was so stupid and poorly written though. The original story that revealed Sophia's past life and the event that happened shortly after was a lot better... Anime original content... meh.

I wasn't expecting that they kicked Achan POV here, because that was before they enter to the academy, honestly still remembering that part it hurts so much.
For the second half it was and original content which I accept, it was funny until I see a reaction that the part with the rock is like Indiana Jones, wich made a lot more funnier, when I see the mushrooms, I remember that part of Bungou Stray Dogs when Dazai eats a lot of poisonous mushrooms, like "Cata don't become Dazai plz". Those three girls, uuugh I can say that I know whats coming next, now the black clouds, everyone don't worry, they will be explain later.

I loved how this episode started! Such a fun show but It's clearly very well made as this episode made me genuinely cry. It was so emotional seeing how her last ever text to Acchan was so carefree - her death was unexpected and cruel which was a different tone to start on :'(. It was done very well.
But another amazing episode I really found this very funny and it in no way disapointed me. I'm soooo glad the quality hasn't dipped at all in this middle section, in fact it's better in my opinion.
It's so sweet how her friend from her past life is Sophia 💕 I've never seen an Isekai where there is more than one person isekaied I don't think so that very cool!!
I just hope that Caterina will see that everyone loves her before the series ends 🤞
It was soo funny I loved how everyone's magic was useful in the test and then Caterina to feel useful used her special power - 'earth bump' 😂😂 And it was so funny how everyone congratulated her hahhaha, she's so sweet though. I'm so excited for next week!! Definitely my favourite anime of this season by a long way!! 💓

The casket scene was pretty impactful & then when Atsuko broke down after realizing the last text message from Katarina would indeed be her last, I almost broke down. I'm really curious as to what led Sophia to be reincarnated into the game as well.

This episode was another fun one afterwards. I wonder who the shadow is!

Great episode, the whole story of Katarina and her bff was really emotional. And
And with the dream that Sofia had and later what she said when she saved Katarina from dying, that she is her old friend that reincarnated, that was a pretty great moment.
Now i do wonder if she can recover her memories...

OOH MAH GAWD! Aachan also got reincarnated and the two were reunited! The dramatic irony pains me that they will never actually know that they met their best friend in another life. That also raises another question. How did Aachan die? Or is there some other thing that happened.

Also, it took me forever to realize that it wasn't Katarina who was narrating the flashback.

The flashback was soo sad aswell. I almost cried.

I also like how they didn't say Katarina's name in her past life. I think it's a cool, extra fact that makes the viewer slightly curious.

Katarina helping her group by covering a hole with her special "earth bump" attack was too much xD

So it's confirmed. Sophia is Katarina's best friend from her past life.
So does this mean Achan reincarnate once she died but after living her full life? I mean... because having her dying young as well would be absurdly depressing, honestly.
Anyways, that aside, I appreciate her POV was included. Katarina and Sophia's friendship was already an special one but this revelation made it reach a whole new level.

Another nice episode. The shadowy figure who saved Katarina and Sophia was probably Sirius but the dark aura/spirit hovering around the former has me quite intrigued. Wonder what's the deal with that.

I forgot that these characters could use magic lol, they barely use it at all.
That A-chan PoV fucking made me cry! Stop this Bakarina! First Maria’s backstory and now A-chan.. we barely get these kinds of backstory from isekai’s, fcking broke my heart when A-chan couldn’t even cry let alone look sad at the funeral cause she couldn’t process what happened yet and suddenly broke down in an instant after reading Bakarina’s last message... yo.... Im literally sheding a tear while typing this.
That aside I had a grin on my face when Sophia turned out to be A-chan’s reincarnation... truly a friendship that transcends reality.. tho honestly I kinda picked it up the moment A-chan talked cause she had the same va as Sophia.
Also wtf was that dark shadow thingy clinging on Bakarina’s back? Maria noticed it tho so I hope she uses her MC light plot armor power to save her from any danger.
Anyways best ep by far! I didnt expect to love the characters this much, mostly Bakarina, A-chan/Sophia and Maria.

Was this episode ever in novel? Not that I'm complaining.

But honestly, I really hoped that these kind of episodes explore more character rather than just Katarina and this time they developed Sophia more and that's good.

But sometime, I really wish that they give more focus to other character talking with each other about anything else other than Katarina. Heck, men in the series feel like they are not friend with each other and more to group of Katarina's follower lol.

The show is still going strong.. man talk about an episode. I knew early on that Truck-kun was probably involved in the murder of this girl, and it appears that he has taken another victim.. the Isekai Gods had mercy on her soul.

But on a more serious note, the episode was fun! Sophia and Catarina now have their special connection, kinda helps to develop how the two of them act so well together. It would be a tearjerker for them if they actually realized+believed that they both were friends from their former lives, but all they really need is each other.

I should have expected that her bump would grow to be so powerful in this exam XD one day someone/something's going to attack her and she's going to use her bump to cause them to trip and fall into a pit of death

A rather fitting test for a show that takes place in an otome isekai/fantasy world. I got the sort of adventurous vibe with Katarina and the group taking on their challenge together.

Seems this show is still in tact with its fantasy elements and showing some impressive feats of the cast members. I'm entertained. They played the audience well with that wind scene imo.

Yes, a fitting test where a European setting fantasy version of naruto's chunin exams occurred with Indiana Jones traps. A part of me is shocked that actual traps took place, so a majority of Nobles's kids have to go through that.

This episode was very special to me, but this was not the general reception.

Ep. 7 - Loved = 69,66
Ep. 6 - Loved = 74,17
Ep. 5 - Loved = 81,30
Ep. 4 - Loved = 80,12
Ep. 3 - Loved = 75,97
Ep. 2 - Loved = 75,84
Ep. 1 - Loved = 69,64


Probably because is half filler, but come on, it is an adaptation and sometimes fillers are very opportune.

That's a pity, since i was expecting Bakarina Game be rated over 8,00 by the end of this season.
