Welp, I'm not surprised there's a bigger conspiracy and mastermind pulling strings behind the scenes.

Even less surprising is Beryl going out his way to help a kid. This episode featured one of his tougher fights but Beryl had something worthy to fight for. Well played.

So all that miracle talk about reviving people turned out to be just the bishop using a necromancer skill. Talk about doing the exact opposite of what the church is supposed to be, and he isn’t the only one—others like him will emerge in the future.

Beryl’s new sword doesn’t look very fleshy, but it’s as sharp as it can be. Mewi will now be living with Beryl, with him as his legal guardian. It’s going to be hard for Beryl to take on parenting.

Beryl really wanted to bring Mewi’s sister back to her in one piece, but unfortunately, he couldn’t. So his emotional state is justified, even if he wasn’t initially interested in getting involved in Mewi’s situation. But I didn’t understand why the other guy didn’t attack Beryl during the fight when Beryl was struggling with what to do with the undead. The dude literally decided to join the fight only after all the undead were slain.

Desecrating the dead is just irredeemably evil. Idc what impending doom is coming to the country, Reveos toying with peoples’ deceased loved ones and contributing to child abuse through his funding of twilight just doesn’t sit right with me. Glad he’s been brought to justice and this disgusting act can finally be brought to an end.

“Why do you care so much about me” fuck man just hearing Mewi second guess everyone treating her how adults should treat kids broke my heart. Such a sweet girl and faithful little sister. Everything she did was for family and twilight took advantage of that 🤢

Of course Reveos wasn’t gonna turn himself in quietly, but things almost got bad there for Beryl. Another reminder of how he’s not OP, just really experienced. Curuni and Ficelle came in clutch with the assist. The big fight against spur looked really good, even his miracles weren’t enough to beat Beryl tho! It does make you wonder just what’s about to happen to the kingdom if dudes are willing to sacrifice themselves like this to gain “miracles” and prevent this cataclysm..

The old country bumpkin becomes a dad! So happy Mewi finally has a loving home and place where she belongs. Obviously sad about her sister, but she’d want her to be happy and no better place than with Beryl. Good ending all things considered

Watch out Beryl, you're being attacked by bad CG! Seriously though, the manga does a better job of conveying movement than this uninteresting slide show. Why bother watching this over reading the manga if the anime fails to properly improve upon the manga in the main way in which the medium has an inherent advantage?

@ExiledSenpai Lol, you must only just watch the most popular shows if you think this is a slide show. This animation and CGI is better than 80 percent of seasonal anime’s. Also the source material is the light novel not the manga. Do your research and watch more shows before commenting.

I didn't really understand the bishop's purpose. Sure, reviving the dead worked, but it was a bad spell if the corpses came back in such a bad state.

The good thing about all this is that Mewi is starting to trust others, and Beryl will be his mentor. Well... he already has a daughter, now he just needs a wife.

Bro lost even with magic buffs, I can't imagine how much stronger Beryl could be if he learned how to do such magic as well. But maybe it's for the best since apparently it has a time limit, unless he could find a way to make it last longer or without a time limit

Finally, we got to see Beryl have a sword fight again.
It seems that with the use of miracles, even Beryl was having some trouble against some of their knights and especially their commander who actually cut him :{}.
But then again, this is Master Beryl so of course he locked in and won.

It's good to see that Meiw has finally began to open up :}

What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway).

And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea).

The plot and its execution felt uninspired and bland to me, glad that this arc seems over at least.
The only scene I liked was the last one, very happy to see Beryl becoming a dad of sort for Mewi.

So with this episode, anime finished adapting LN vol.2, well it was pretty much said with the announcement that the anime was going to adapt the LN instead of the manga, but they did Vol.2 in 2 and a half eps, so i wonder how much further they plan to go with this work at this pace

One of the things i liked in the manga during this arc, was that they fleshed out Spur story alot more, instead of leaving him as a nobody with just a name like the LN did, and a shame that the anime got that

@undeed Nah, you're right, but thats because the manga added alot of extra details compared to how they are in the LN, they added that Spur backstory and all that, Ficelle and Curumi fights in between, but the LN is pretty simple and have none of that, pretty much like Lucy fight in the previous episode, in the LN it happen so quickly that is not even worth a page of text, most of what is described in it is Lucy internal monologues, but manga did 2 chapters worth of that fight

But as a reminder that the anime was always meant to adapt the LN (mangaka even said that), so manga readers disappointment is expected because it did elevate the original work

For a country that needs to raise birth rate before it gets to desperate levels like Korea, Japan sure fails to use its media to try to change things.

yeah,
I mean, I always used the same argument whenever someone I know got angry that the anime is different from the manga,
In the past I even used MyAnimelist to show proof that the anime is adapting the novel, not the manga.
They are two different adaptations. Two alternate realities. I get that.
(tho now MAL also just show anime as the manga adaptation, but whatever)

But I just can't helped my disappointment.
When I saw the use of animation for the character movements, I was expecting oh maybe this anime could actually
animate the whole eloquent swords fights with maybe a whole slo-mo stuff, and not just some repeated slashing montage.

Credit where credit's due
The animation is good
but still...

I really hate how shows continue to go out of their way to have a young girl live with the older male MC. But of all the times it's happened in the past handful of years, Beryl is probably the best MC for the job, having raised others as both a teacher and basically a foster father at times.

Felt like the weakest episode to me. It was way too fast and the fights didn't feel impactful.

I know it was said that his sword was extra sharp but I really didn't like how Beryl and his students were going through the armor that easily. It would have been better if they had a moment were someone thought about aiming for the weak spots in the armor and animated them hitting them.

That last part about the tea hit me in the soul though.

Buffs can help in a fight, but if the gap in talent is too great they will only take you so far.

So that arc ended pretty quickly, I really thought it would last a few episodes. It is sad Mewi wasn't able to say goodbye to her sister, but at least she can rest easy knowing her body will no longer be used in some nefarious plot.

I don't know what the directors of the anime are thinking but they completely missed what made the LN and manga great.

Manga: Beryl is a true master swordsmen, he is literally better then everyone else when it comes to sword skill. He suffers from great self confidence problems because of trauma when he was young and a lack of worldly experience. Beryl is a great and effective teacher, all of his students went on to great things thanks to his instruction. In this episode, beryl got his new sword too soon compared to the original LN (supposed to get it in the middle of fighting his enemy, which went to hard especially when Beryl was in the corner)

Anime: Beryl is a normal old man. His only skill is that he practiced the basics of swordsmanship to a great extent. This skill in the basics allows him to get the advantage on his opponents even thought he is not as skilled or flashy as them. He suffers from self doubt because he attempted to use his sword skills in a real dungeon when he was young, he failed and he ran away with many wounds. Beryl is a great and effective teacher, all of his students went on to great things thanks to his instruction.

It's like the anime crew wants to make Beryl more like a "real world" swordsman instead of a fantasy swordsmen. This really takes away from the original story.

Compared to the LN and manga, Schupple (enemy swordsman Beryl fought in the end) is so different. WHEN I SAY DIFFERENT, totally different character design (is more like it replaced places with the side character enemy swordsman in the manga). Also there was no backstory and impact in Schupple like the original story had. (SPOILERS) Schupple and Beryl was supposed to meet at a bar and then become friends but turn into enemies when Schupple attempts to let the Bishop escape. During the fight, there is a flashback of why Schupple turned evil (he wanted to bring back his dead wife so he sided with the bishop) and his fighting style in the manga is way more sophisticated and feels like a souls boss

Subjective, not going to argue there.

This is true.

Check out my profile to see how much anime I've actually watched; do your research.


Here's the thing, by being assertive and confident in your argument, you may think and even convince some others that you're correct. However, those with keen enough observation skills would notice that by leaving my argument on the table (that the manga is somehow doing a better job conveying motion than literal moving pictures) you have conceded to my point.

Maybe you feel as if by attacking what you like I am attacking you; I'm not. You can like watching more than reading. You can like an anime despite the poor animation job; Kingdom comes to mind for me. Art is subjective, you can even make the argument that you think that the manga does a poor job of conveying movement and I wouldn't really be able to rebut it because it's a matter of opinion. The fact remains, I have asserted that when it comes to conveying motion, the manga does a better job of adapting the light novel than the anime does; you never addressed this. Instead you felt the need to attack me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The CGI was mediocre but I've seen worse. This isn't exactly a top-billing megaproject with huge amounts of money behind it so no real surprises in that department. Aside from that it was a pretty solid episode and I'm glad they didn't draw out the fight scene unnecessarily.

Shupple was changed from a drunk and a nihilist to a zealot. They even cut his signature thrust and entire reason for being involved in the plot.
Roberrie, Giami and Euro are completely missing from the bishop's retanue.
Myui was changed from a headstrong "Do it myself" character to a whimpering child and her involvement in the Sven's faith plot was completely cut past Twilight.
And these AI subs are atrocious, butchering the crap out of the character names. Which is the only thing that's not Passione's fault.

I want to like this series but Passione is failing the story so hard that I can't even call it average anymore. Everything else is really well done; art, animation, casting. But the story, the most important part, is less than half of what it should be.

Except that the anime is following the story fine, from the original source thats it, which is the Novel, and this was mentioned by the mangaka when the anime was announced, that the anime was going to adapt the LN and not the manga

This arc skipped basically nothing from it, except from 1 scene which was mentioned it, and is when they meet at the bar, but it doesn't have the same impact as the manga one, because Spur is basically a nobody there, he doesn't have a backstory, a design, a good fight, he is just there as fodder, Ficelle and Curumi don't have a solo fight in the LN either because those other characters aren't there, manga added alot of original stuff, this arc is the part where the manga split off from the LN

So like i mentioned in another comment, manga only readers disappoinment is understandable and been discussed in other places that the anime was going to lead to disappoinment to manga readers because is not going to follow that

NB_Tenchy said:

While some names sound terrible, those are technically the names picked out by J-Novel when they started out the LN, they changed some later, like for example up to Vol.2 Curuni was called Kewlny and Mewi was Mui lol, Spur is arguable, because his name is basically the same as a jp magazine, which is SPUR (シュプール)

What a horrible anime. Dropped. The entire point about it was to highlight a master sowrdsman that then hits his enemies in the breastplate and magically cuts through it? Same with literally every other character, hitting with basic weapons through metal armor like it's paper. This deserves to be in the mid 6's with the rest of the shows that do this garbage.
