| Yikes, Raphtalia regressed to her younger (low level) form this episode for some reason. Hunting hero Kizuna got introduced, which is kinda interesting. Seems she's a friendly person unlike the arrogant Book Hero. Also important is that they are trapped in some infinite labyrinth. It felt like they're trying to get pass a RPG game level and Kizuna is quite knowledgable about their world. A refreshing start for the new arc imo. |
 |
| We start the new isekai in an isekai arc and we are introduced to Kizuna, the hunting heroine who cannot attack humans only monsters. It was a good start to the new arc and more than anything it promises a little more than the past arc. |
 |
| I’ve waited years to see kizuna animated and for the most part I’m satisfied with her. But as usual the anime straight up does what it want. Why the fuck is Raphtalia there when her separation is supposed to be a big part of the story?? I really don’t understand why the anime struggles to just adapt basic things in this story and insists on trampling on the LN. This is my second fave LN so yes I get really annoyed about these things because wtf? All you have to do is adapt what’s written. Instead, they’d rather omit, rewrite or just butcher shit. At this point I’m only watching because I don’t drop anything. |

| They got teleport in another world/ time jail and a new character Kizuna make a appearance. Lol raphtalia is a child and they level are resets. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| Lol what.. seems like everyone got reverted back to how they were in the beginning. Also that all-exclusive golden development of Rishia was just a single episode thing i guess. Took so many years and still didn't succeed, new girl should learn something from Naofumi. |
| Now this episode should redeem the season from the low scores of the previous turtle arc. . . hopefully. |
| Well they decided to add Raphtalia together with them for some reason. So i have no idea how some stuff for later is going to go. However aside from her being their and interacting with the group so far they did not skipp anything just changed it but the flow was more or less the same. Ah Kizuna our fav little fisherman is here, its great to see her animated finally. Good start for the new arc so far but i am still wondering how it will go from here to the raphtalia change, guess we wait and see. |

If all you do is not like what you see then move on. Drop the show. Lose your pride and drop th show Bro nobody gives a fuck. I live so rent free in your head, I told you last week to block me so you don’t have to see my posts. No, I will not drop this show or any show as I don’t drop anything and never will. Lose your pride and stop replying to my posts and commenting bullshit on my profile. Every single person knows how garbage this adaptation is which is why it has a 6.94 now on here. Now go cry elsewhere. It’s also Hilarious you say I complain about every show I watch when I’m literally famous on here for scoring so highly and loving everything lol. |

|
| This is definitely the episode of the season so far, the pacing is way good compared to previous ones, I see lots of people are saying anime is altering the LN, Well it was never faithful to its source material, to begin with. can someone spoil me? What happens in LN? |
| Pacing seems to have improved a lot from the previous arc. Lets hope this doesn't end up being total garbage. |
 |
| A new arc begins: the New World arc, and this presents a new challenge for Naofumi and gang being reset back to Level 1 to chase the Book Vassal Hero Kyo in his own world. And yes, SMOL Raphtalia is back again in her Season 1 adorable cuteness, but Filo is nowhere to be found. Monsters ranging from cardboard to kappa, without their usual powers, Naofumi, Raphtalia and Rishia are basically useless, and that's where the central character Kizuna Kazayama comes into play as the Hunting Hero, one of the 4 Holy Heroes (yet another legendary hero group). She's more like a fishing rod hero and not a loli hag. This Infinite Labyrinth that Kizuna has been trapped in for eons (and now Naofumi and gang) that has no way out, and Kizuna's such a strong girl to keep on believing that she'll find a way out of this, except that there's already placements to stop them. But like an imperfect world, there're plantations of bugs that could show them the alternate way, and one Bio Shock Plant later, they're back to their original world (that is Glass's world). Already looking a lot better than the lackluster Spirit Tortoise arc. |
 |
| It's only been the first episode of this arc, But it's already more compelling than all the previous episodes from the tortoise one. |
 |
| Okay, This arc seems a tiny bit better than that CGI Tortoise. But I wanna know how much stuff were cut off. This episode seemed hyper paced. |

| Waking up in a prison after entering a new world huh thats a new one. Not to mention being downlevelled to 1 as well. It would make sense that Raphtalia and Filo would revert back to their original forms but man thats a form we haven't seen in ages. But her attitude when in contrast to her size actually makes Raphtalia more endearing than usual. Nice to finally meet Kizuna as well. Kizuna's weapon though sure is one hell of a handicap. But being trapped here all alone without going crazy really requires a hell of a lot of resolve. Thats one creative way of using the bio plant though. Its adorable seeing Kizuna's reaction to being outside. Overall an excellent ep that while slow paced used that time wisely to showcase the unique aspects of this arc and showing a rare fragility to Naofumi and co in the process while introducing the first of the new characters in the form of Kizuna. Curious at seeing what skills she can bring to the team. Hope Filo's ok though because she's never been alone before. |

| Finally a good episode, we even got to hear another part of the opening song. I thought they were sent to Japan at the end but apparently that's just how Kizuna's isekai looks. I wonder if Naofumi will say something about that. |
| It's only 1:30 and I'm already disappointed... Wait... How will they introduce Raph-chan if Raphtalia is with Naofumi? |

| Best episode for me by a mile, Loli Raphtalia makes her triumphant return, Rishia being somewhat helpful and the new character Kizuna is pretty likeable, the show feels once more like an actual adventure and there is that mystery about where the heck is Filo, much, much better than the turtle pace (hehe) episodes. |
| LMAO! Keeping Rapthalia in the series and turning her back into her Level 1 loli form has got to be a desperate attempt by the studio to get people back into the series after all the screwups they made early on. "Hey...uh... guys! Um... if you were disappointed with the earlier episodes this season don't worry! We fixed it all for this next arc! See, we've kept Raphtalia for this arc(even though she was suppose to leave) because everyone loves her what would Shield Hero be without everyone's favorite waifu? Yeah? And look, we've even turned her back into loli form! Because that's what made us fall in love with her first place! Right? Now you get to experience how cute and adorable she is all over again! Things are certainly looking up, right!" "Right?" "...right?" Haha yeah, nice try Kinema Citrus. You're not fooling anyone. Guess that's what happens when you replace the original director. This is the result. |
| "You talk too much. Think too much." "I don't care how justified you think your reasons are. I won't tolerate liars or thieves." "If you're not going to be nice to me, don't expect me to be nice to you." "I'm a soldier, not a superhero. Don't ever think of me as one." "The world doesn't revolve around you. Get that through your thick skull." "People who live by their emotions go nowhere in their lives. They only find misery. "If you don't like the way your life is than do something about it instead of sitting there feeling sorry for yourself." "You want something go get it. Period." |
| Not bad looks kinda promising, I hope that they will stay with low lvls for a bit more xd |
| I'm already liking Kizuna from the get go. Her design is cute and she has a kind personality and she showed it by helping Naofumi, Raphtalia and Rishia after they were reverted back to level 1 and had trouble with a kappa enemy. I can't blame Naofumi for having doubts about her since she claims that she's best friends with Glass, but his doubts were quickly laid to rest, thankfully. Naofumi was able to have Kizuna help him create a bio plant which eventually helped them go back to the world that summoned Kizuna, in which she was hugely grateful and happy with Naofumi's group with all of the hugs she was giving out. So yeah, I did like this episode, although it looks like the LN readers are saying that the content is still being changed or altered. I won't deny that it's a cause for concern again, especially coming from the Tortoise Arc which is personally the weakest arc of this series so far. Despite that, Kizuna is very likable and we also got the return of Loli-Raphtalia and she's just as cute as ever. I'll stay optimistic for now. =3 |
| My first reaction a minute into the episode: well fuck Yup, smol Raphtalia is definitely cuter than big Raphtalia, just look at that smol little blush so cute (๑ > ᴗ < ๑)  and well we are introduced to Kizuna and she's pretty cute as well. Didn't expect her to be so cheerful and stuff after learning that she's been trapped all alone on tha island, she sure is strong to not let the lonliness eat her away. This episode felt surprisingly short as well just like last episode. It felt kind of troublesome when Kizuna said she's been stuck there for years but Naofumi just got out of there in a day, we were getting worried for nothing, it was kind of anti-climatic NGL, they raised the stake and got us worried for nothing. Filo's missing, wonder what happened. But what I don't understand is the level reset, one would think that they went to another world so they might have to start from level 1 in new world but then we look at Glass and L'Arc and they had the same levels in Naofumi's world so I wonder what happened. Also how and why did Ost's tunnel get them into a prison instead of the outside world? This episode gets a 5/5 from me just for more smol Raphtalia shots. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| A HELL LOT BETTER EPISODE THAN LAST PREVIOUS ONE'S.. The episode felt well paced, did not went into info dump or anything of that sort and The New character is extremely likeable.. Looks like Raphtalia wasn't meant to be in there but meeeh! fuck it! I got to experience cute Raphtalia moments so its all fine.. Lets hope the anime continues this arc as well paced as today's episode.. |
| Finally, we're starting a new arc! I feel with this episode we're going back to the roots of the show, focusing on the "game mechanics" and having more slice of life elements and world-building and not a straight-up battling arc. I am a little more optimistic for what's to come and Kizuna is going to help potentially redeem this season of the show. |

Bro i was confused when raphtalia came out from the hay stack. also the part where they got out from the labyrinth is pretty straightforward. Everyone is, just a disaster of an adaptation. |

Idk about the manga, but everything is better in general in the book. |
|
| wtf is even going on anymore lol, but more than intrigued about this pile of shit, I'm more intrigued as to how ANYONE can even remotely like this episode after such an out of place introduction that is more jarring than exciting, but this is MAL, so it's to be expected. |
