I love how Ariane is such a stoic and serious woman but even she can't resist how cute Ponta is. Cute animals are a woman's greatest weakness.

I also love how Ariane is gorgeous and just as deadly with a blade, and would've finished off all those brigands herself if not for them being trash that would threaten hostages. I think she and Arc will make a great team together.

with the disclaimer at the start I thought worse things were about to happen to these elfs. Still sad to see.

Arc really is just some guy trying to pass time but because or his appearance everyone thinks he is a big deal lol.

This show just ticks all the boxes for me, its straight up nice to watch.

The intro should gradually add the sound effects though and not start with them, its a cool song.

Interesting. So every fuss that happened before were actually caused by those scummy lord from the neighboring empire? I still don't understand the basic principal of the politic system on those world, to be honestly.

But, heh thanks for the warning, i guess. But i expect something more bloody graphic especially to the fights with those slave trader. Still, this is to be expected coming from a censorship. So, yea....

Anyway, that's it the first meeting within Arc and Ariane, and to be precisely, Ponta and Ariane xd. Funny how Arc still manage to hide his identity as a freakin skeleton until this point. But i expect his existence might be in more trouble as long as he still being involve to the world matters, since its already revealed that the slavery trade owned by those Lord.

Curious to see how Ariane reaction when her hero in a shine silver armor is literally really not an ordinary human. But, as always, to be continue for the next week!

The pink haired girl on anime cover finally joined Arc's party. Missed gore like first eps, maybe what I watched is actually the censored version?

Great episode! Ponta's existence seemed to clear up the misunderstanding between Arc and Ariane. Pretty sure she's far from a 'dark elf' like the bandits called her lol.
Ariane wants to hire Arc...

Looking forward to the next episode!

Dark elf's in this media tend to have different shaded skintones and eye and hair color that is unique if i remember right, i think they also have shorter ears, while other elves have white skin and blonde hair, basically dark elf refers to anything that isn't the elf stereotype to a T, though i believe the in-story reason for the description has more to do with how and where they live.

Ariane in this has multi-colored eyes, white almost pinkish hair, and her skintone is supposed to be kind of pinkish as well but the anime doesn't show it well, though tbh it's understandable considering how difficult that would likely be to animate.

Yeah I saw some people in the forums complaining that Arc was waiting while he saw the elfs were truly in trouble. My response to that is that Arc hasnt been in the game world very long at this point so he probably hasnt had the time to change his mentality towards the characters in this world.

I'm loving his naming sense!

I mean,Ainz would have probably just crushed him slowly,also traumatizing the poor elf kiddies,but no,Arc takes it one further than that and uses the slave traders body to damage a sacred tree as well!
Way to go Arc,Ainz has nothing on your evilness :)
Its funny that you bring up Ainz and his "evil" ways when the reality is that Deameurge is the one making all of the moves and Ainz is mostly sitting there like " I cant let them figure out who i truly am" LOL. Yeah Ainz does evil things in the show but its not for the sake of being evil just to save his own skin.

TBH, I'm thinking that Arc also got the same problems as Ains where the avatar affects the user's personality.

It's not an extreme case like Ains but Arc is more of them blocking all the bad emotions like stress, anxiety,... and keeping all the positive one.

That is why when in some situations he can keep calm and think before doing stuff base on his moral code.
I think so to. Plus you also have to consider the fact that Arc literally just got dropped into the world with no warning ( like Ainz) so it takes time to adjust your mentality to see the world as yours rather than some outside realm or game in his case.

I disagree with you there about Ainz doing it just to save his own skin.Some of the acts he commits didn't need to be done in the cruel way he chose to do them,such as crushing Clementine,though I do agree that Demiurge does most of the "evil"acts,even he is doing them for the sake of Ainz.
One thing I do agree with though,is that Ainz is more affected by his Avatar than he seems to think.

I dont score until after I finish an anime but I will probably rate it a 7 or 8 after im done depending on how the rest of the episodes are.

Personally I dont think what Ainz did to Clemetine was all that cruel considering all the people she had killed in her life. Frankly it was well deserved.

That is all i will say here since this thread is about skele knight and not overlord.

Finally some extras were beaten, unfortunately weren't by arc but by ariane, arc only give a lariat to the supposed boss of the extras.

I was quite satisfied by that lariat to say the least. Just wish if we knew that all of those scumbags were dead or not.

Marinate1016 said:
I’ve only read the first book so this episode was what I had been looking towards the most. Really wanted to see maple animated and wasn’t disappointed at all. Immensely satisfied seeing the rapey slave trade get his face bashed in.
That lariat that Arc delivered was quite satisfying if i do say so myself.

Lazy_watcher said:
the main story of this season starting to pick up.

let see how a wandering skeleton knight can change the world into a better place

Overall I like this flow better than in manga and LN

Also Ponta is too cute.

Endcard Ponta thought... this series is pretty creative with that lol
I hope that the rest of the episodes are adapted well because like you said this anime has the potential to be a good isekai story. Also yes... Ponta is adorable <3

I didn't say I didn't think she deserved it,since I agree she did(and it was quite satisfying to watch it as well),I just think he could have instead just killed her easier without "toying"with her,though I understand he was also extremely pissed at her for killing the party he was relying on to increase his own fame.
Anyways,same as you,I'll leave it there,as you said,this is Arc's thread :)

Ariane - such a badass
that guy that went to try to touch her boobs had to be the stupidest guy ever lol
that guy just saw two of men die right infront of him and he still tried.

ARC is awesome too
trying to go unnoticed, thats probably not going to happen.

Yeah I am. I was responding to the second line of your post where you said "Arc is just some guy passing the time". Some people dont like how he is just so nonchalant about horrific events happening around him. I was defending that happy go lucky attitude basically.

To summarize this episode:




HA HA HA HA HAHA

___ ___ ___

Anyways... this fantasy world kinda sucks huh, so many "incidents" happening everywhere.

Tho I guess it is during "incoming wartime" so shits are happening everywhere.

Poor Arc, all he wants is to have a nice adventure and chill, but he keeps on running into all these shits, LOL.

But then again... he thinks all these things are "quests" and as a "gamer" he wants to "complete them all"

___ ___ ___

As for his "delayed reactions"

Remember, Arc is just a passerby, which he constantly mentions it himself...

Arc doesn't want to really get involved with things, but he WILL get involved if he choose to.

For this episode, Arc didn't really wait that long to help the Elves.

1 - the elf was hurt before Arc arrived to the scene

2 - Arc arrived AFTER the elves were thrown into the cage

3 - Arc was about to go help as you can see him moving forward, but then Ariane rushed into it before he did

4 - Arc saw Ariane had no issue fighting, so he just sit back and watch, respecting the promise Ariane had from before

5 - Arc went in after he see Ariane truly is having trouble fighting back

6 - Arc still respecting most of his promise by only going after the dude that's holding the Elves hostage, cause Arc knows Ariane can easily take care of those other minions

7 - Arc being a Chad

(Arc made the promise with Ariane saying he won't get involved, when he initially wanted to, tho mostly cause he wants to see more elves, lol)

(imagine if he didn't get curious in wanting to see more elves and ran into them as he followed the promise and went the other way, those elves and Ariane right now would all probably be Raped)

Agreed. Some people don't understand that just rushing in when you don't have all of the information you need cam be deadly. Arc may be strong but he isn't invincible.

We not only got to see Ariane again, but we got to see her fight too, I did like the moving image instead of actual animation lol, but she was still pretty badass, and Arc even got his moments to shine, I’m definitely really liking the duo with Ponta and how he emotes sometimes with Arc. And it looks like Ariane will be teaming up with Arc potentially, I’m guessing so because they’re together in the OP lol.

And now I’m caught up, sad because I was enjoying this burst of episodes lol, but now I’ll debate on keeping up with this or waiting for another handful of episodes, we shall see lol. Also can’t get enough of that ED, very glad to hear DIALOGUE+ again this spring season, might have to pick up that other show they have an ED for lol.

lol at Arc laughing while walking towards bandits who's running from him.

Ariane is pretty and well stacked. The a-holes almost had their way with her if it wasn't for Arc.

I remember reading a h-doujin about captured female slaves of various species, but didn't met a good end. So this was a relief to watch the elf girls get rescued and bandits getting their asses handed down to them.

If I'm being honest, from the first minutes of the anime starting with a sexual assault scene labeled as a clear fanservice should have been my first warning, I should have said "nah" and dropped, but I'm stubborn (unfortunately in this case) and decided to at least give it a try and not judge from the first scene,

I've watched 3 painful slow boring ass eps that just didn't make anything to change my first impression of this show so yeah, as the mc smh just was isekai-ed, and don't question it, is bland and smh "waits" to watch the sexual assault before actually acting on it so yeah... Not my cup of tea as I would not recommend it.

“Damn─! The shameless humans!!! …Instead of submitting to you and enduring the humiliation for the rest of our lives, the people of the forest would rather die proudly!!!”

Along with her yells, the tip of the sword rose back up. A more intense hatred and anger gleamed from her eyes. The pressure from the dark aura now surrounding her caused the approaching men to hesitate.

This is how it was in LN. Why the hell did both manga and anime go for a "lady in distress" for a supposedly strong female character? This is just lame and makes both the character and the scene just stupid.
@slavemaster_1991 Thanks for the info. I hated that part as well.

Trashy adaptational changes are cancer to this medium.
And thus, they lived happily ever after... .
