| A mixture of fantasy and real life elements blended into this episode. Obviosuly, the familiar summoned caught people's attention. Then, there's Grace tapping into her knowledge about arcade and games. How fun. The real life content continues to make me curious as they figured out how it has connection to the fantasy world. |
 |
| Grace trying to upset Anna backfires everything but it gets her on Grace route which is a good thing. The family is now helping out as well and that seems to be very helpful even if Grace doesn't realise. |
| Really nice episode with the family helping the dad in the game and the relationship between Grace and Anna is just getting better. |
| "Sasuga Grace sama" "Sasuga Grace sama" "Sasuga Grace sama" Too much amount of affection point racking up specially with Anna. Grace is just Bakarina without being baka. |
| “You want me to be your assistant?!” LMAO. As usual, Grace trying to be the villainess leads to everyone falling deeper in love with her. She is never beating the yuri route allegations. Plus she got a new admirer in green hair girl and we got to see Pierre, the prince’s attendant. Speaking of which, the Prince blowing his cover because Grace said she might not marry him is hilarious. This training arc they’re going on before the festival should be fun as hell. It’s so dope that we got to see half the episode from the daughter and wife’s perspective in the real world too. I love how calm they are about Kenzaburo getting isekai’d because they’re massive otaku lmao. I thought after last week that Kenzaburo was aware the daughter had an impact on the game world, not yet I guess. Fun episode though, every week it’s getting better and better. Father-son Kamehameha reference!! The production values are also very underrated here. The magic circle transcription scenes are so well animated!! |

| It didn’t take long and we already got a beast oriented event happening, sounds like it’ll be pretty cool with Grace and Anna working together, but Kenzaburou attempting to use Grace’s villainess trait to motivate Anna was a funny way for their collaboration to happen, I don’t think anyone is gonna fall for the villainess act anymore, if anything it just wins Grace more points than usual lol. I also liked the bit with Pierre, he’s a nice fella, and I love how Kenzaburou used his modern job wisdom there with the explanation that breaks allow for the best kind of work, I completely agree with that, maybe now Virgile won’t have to hide anymore lol. And the mom and daughter bit had it’s share of references once again, I’m pretty sure many of us recognized the “father-son Kamehameha”, definitely a nice way to show the power of an otaku bloodline lol, and I liked the little flashback to a younger Kenzaburou and Hinako as they watched anime together, really sweet stuff, too bad Kenzaburou didn’t recognize the meaning of the name Orion which Hinako gave to his dragon lol. |
| felt like this ep was more about the real world side and advancing the story than previously but it was still very enterntaining. yuri route |

| Loved the episode. Can't get over how funny it is everytime Grace tries to insult anyone, they take it as she's trying to help them. Love how adorable Orion is too, every time he breathes water or fire, he sounds too cute. Loved how the prince was trying to act cool near the end of the episode, only for Pierre to tell him it's bad to eavesdrop, and the prince returns to acting as a child. Love how funny he is. And love how Anna takes anything Grace says as she's complementing her, even when she tries to insult her. What's funniest of it all, is how feminine Grace keeps talking by referring to herself as "watakushi" as per her noble blood, love how his elegant cheat is literally perfect for such a role. Loved that scene of Hinako & her mom doing the mom-daughter kamehameha, laughed out loud, literally. Loved the episode, excited for the upcoming ones! |
| The mother and daughter throwing top-tier references at each other—absolute gold. No matter how hard Kenzaburou tries to set Anna up with the prince, it’s just not happening. The Yuri route is inevitable. |
 |
| I like how the show alternates between the real world and the game world, allowing us to fully understand a scene thanks to the differents pov. Also liked how Anna was fangirling so hard this episode haha. And the hiding prince was a fun idea. Pretty good and amusing episode, as always :) |
| Surprised that she just confesses that she is reincarnated. And they still think it's poetic figure-of-speech... It's also interesting how his family tries to communicate with him, like by naming the beast after their favorite anime dinosaur. Looking forward to the dad realizing it and playing co-op in some way. WaterMage said: Grace is just Bakarina without being baka. At first I didn't like how similar these two shows felt, but I'm enjoying this more and more anyway. I guess I just missed this formula too much. |
| Dang his daughter pulling off all nighters if her dad keeps messing up the route xD |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I've loved every episode of this and this is no different. The situations he winds up in are always hilarious, and the miscommunication trope is still funny 5/5 |
Reply to Mirality
It was interesting that there were three other beasts shown in the game's menu. Does that mean Grace can summon them as well?
I guess it could be a gallery of beasts achieved through other routes, but then I wouldn't expect that style of menu for it.

| @Mirality I think that was nothing more than a normal beast archive, after all it only showed the beasts discovered by Grace/Kenzaburou. |
| I never expected that the transformation delay was simply because his daughter was picking up a package lol |
| I always love it when he tries to exert his Villainess side, but ends up coming across even more cool, nice and noble. It cracks me up every time. Having to enter a menu in order to change his beast's element does seem like a hindrance though. Not to mention his beast actually changes color, so the opponent will always know. It is still better than having a single element, but not as much as I initially thought. I wonder if he will find a way to use both at the same time? |
 |
| kenzaburou's attempt at being villainaous always backfires on him coz of the way he delivers his arguments lol |
       |
| Hinako and Mitsuko doing a mother daughter Kamehameha was a cool reference. This elegance cheat is pretty busted. Grace can admit she's someone else or engage in a villainous speech and people's opinions of her will still improve. Her Charisma is powerful! |

| "Just like so many games get shortened into AC." Ace Combat, Armored Core, Animal Crossing, Assassin's Creed, Assetto Corsa, etc. |
| This Anna Doll is so insufferable. Instead of making an effort to become a main character, which even Grace is trying to make herself into, she is still into being Grace's groupie. I don't expect this to change any time soon. sigh |

| @patkarunungan Huh, that's the humorous part of her character. |
| another funny ep the daughter really made my day |

| I'm really enjoying the swap between what Dad/Grace sees and what Mom/Daughter see. I wonder when they have to sleep will the game just pause and it not feel like time passed or will "she leave it on auto-play"? I could also see them not even addressing her having to sleep tho she has already been pulling an all nighter while Mom slept. I could also see them possibly switching back and forth like Mom plays all night while the daughter sleeps. Once again Dad/Grace tries to be the villainess and it fails horribly only making Anna's relationship rank up more. |

| I love this anime! Especially the family dynamic. :b |
| Believe in the power of your otaku bloodline, I love that part where mother and daughter have a parody of Goku & Gohan Kahmeahmeah battle against Cell. |

Dark horse of the season for sure. The dynamic between the characters is superb, and the humor is top-notch :D I burst out laughing a few times this episode.
I'm glad that they took this interesting premise and went into interesting places with it instead of just relying on it like a crutch, like we see with so many anime with interesting premise, especially of the isekai sort.
The fact Hinako chose to use some obscure name from the anime they watched together years ago as means to let him know they are watching him, instead of using, I don't know, HER OWN NAME, is such an otaku move :D The subtext humor is on another level with this one! I love it!

B3RyL01 said: Also, she picked a star-themed name, when all the other beasts are also named after stars. That said, Sirius, Spica and Regulus are single stars, while Orion is a constellation of many, including two particularly bright ones: a blue and a red supergiant. Amusing.The fact Hinako chose to use some obscure name from the anime they watched together years ago as means to let him know they are watching him, instead of using, I don't know, HER OWN NAME, is such an otaku move :D The subtext humor is on another level with this one! I love it! Somehow I forgot that father-son kamehameha. Little odd how we've gone from Hinako complaining that the controls don't work, to seemingly most of them working. |

Does anyone know the actual reference in the post credits scene? They tranlated it to "League" and "LoL" but they definitely said something different.
This anime feels like a more shoujo Uncle from Another World having a great time with it.

| @FanofFans She was talking about Animal Crossing: New Horizons and the fact that in Japanese its title is officially shortened as あつ森 (atsumori) but some people still like to call it ぶつ森 (butsumori). |
| They need to tone down the part where the story is explained twice from his family's perspective. It gets the point across, but it dragged on for too long and repeated the same points. Personally, I think shortening that section would have improved the overall experience of this episode. But overall, I’m still loving the show. I wonder what bizarre twist the magic exhibition is going to take. It’s already breaking away from the usual formula by making it an exhibition instead of a combat tournament. In the Villainess genre, this is usually the point in the story where we get a magical elimination tournament—either with the MC fighting for glory or uncovering some evil organization’s plot. This change makes things more interesting, and I’m curious to see where it goes. |
| "Sasuga Grace-sama" = "Sasuga Ainz-sama". Literally same vibes. And damn, that green-haired glasses girl just died by witnessing peak female friendship. Crazy stuff. 5/5 episode again. Man, I'm finding so much enjoyment in this show. Virgile disappearing from time to time just to relax is a fun character trait and Kenzaburou constantly failing at acting like a proper Villainess never fails to make me chuckle. |
| I'm getting fed up with the MC's family having to help him like it's necessary. I'd rather watch him struggle and do his thing. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Kenzaburou's daughter saw Grace's beast as some kind of cheat isekai thing, but it actually makes sense. Since both her father and Grace have opposite personalities and characteristics, it makes sense that the beast would have two opposing elements, like fire and water. I wonder if it can use both at the same time. Either way, I’m looking forward to the magic exhibition. |
| God I love misunderstanding like this XD. Tries to be a villainess, everyone likes them more thinking they're amazing. The beginning part was fine until we had to revisit it again from the mother and daughter POV. Didnt really add much. With Endo and Kobayashi the part I liked the least was funny enough Endo and Kobayashi. The fantasy parts were great until you get pulled out of it for the commentary and I'm worried thats going to happen with this but even worse cause we're having to reverse time everytime the author wants their commentary of the same scene. If they keep doing it, it'll tank the re-watchability of the series. (Well so far it feels like I could skip every mother/daughter scene and nothing much would change) Hopefully I'm wrong and they'll only appear every so often for some input cause this series has been great outside of that. |

| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| LOL Grace revealing she has 2 souls, But no one really cared and just think she has a new personality due to her upbring and being responsible to fit her social status... LOL . However... "auto-story mode"... so this means the Real World can actually "pause" the Fantasy World to pick choices for the Dad... even more interesting is that the Dad... never feels the "pause" and his time continues as if there was never any. This could explain how the mom and daughter isn't playing the game 24/7 and getting sleep deprived... as they can just "pause" the game then go do Real Life stuff (and sleep) and then continue after they get back. (since if they went to do RL stuff and we know the game world time is 1 month = 1 RL day. 1 RL day already passed, however the game time is literally also a few day after Dad summoned his beast and not 1 month later) . Also... Water Gargoyle huh... totally not a Water Stone here, nope. . And... Anna's love-points are so high, she only hears the "I am Grace's Support" part, ROFL. |

| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| Grace having the Ancient Dragon as its familiar, and while she's the only one being able to access the RPG elements, it still entices Anna and the rest all the same. Still, for Hinako, she tries to keep her dad's thoughts aligned as she plays the game according to how he finetunes it, though leaking the secret now will only befall them into the game's bad ending. Furthermore, the Magical Exhibition event where Anna will find her OTP, that's not the direction she's expecting to go and throws her off the loop. But a mother-daughter Dragon Ball Kamehameha reference? That's gold. Anne and Grace on track to learn more of beasts and magic, on the cusp of Virgile's attendant Pierre Gemeaux trying to find him but to no avail since he always avoids him like the plague, though Grace's advice shakes him tremendously. And even though Virgile is soon found, Grace still trying to push Anna to the prince is complimentary for her villainess behaviour, though once again Anna interprets it rather miscontruedly and thinks is for her own good. Kenzaburou, whatever you do, you're not helping yourself... |
 |
| this is slowly getting more developed and I actually enjoy the details discussed between the mother and daughter chars because it feels like they’re apart of the story as well |
