This anime has cemented itself as one of my favorites of all time! I haven't come close to crying while laughing at an anime before. This is the best episode so far! Truly a masterpiece. SASUGA SHADOW SAMA!

It seems to infuriate, but it seems to be pleasant, and very strongly in both cases. MC is a bastard. This behavior of his will drive me to the grave. Read the manga or wait for the new series?

And why was Nu dreaming of herself with him?

Did you really watch the episode? I think not.
This is her dialogue.

She's probably just imagining things (and probably because the guy was close in proximity to her and used him as a guinea pig?) lol ¯⁠⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Such an awful story that makes you question what's the point of watching this garbage.

Lol I don’t disagree. I do like the premise but there are so many problems with the magic system and character development to name a few. I’m here for it though. I want to see where the author chooses to take the story and what unintentional problems come from whatever choices they make or what ways in which they do start to improve their characters and deal with the problems they’ve created in their magic system so far.
To name something I am enjoying unironically though volume 3 of the light novels which I’m reading alongside viewing the anime. I don’t know if it’s just the aesthetics of the area they’re at and the villains but I actually think that it’s the better of the 3 volumes I’ve read so far. Hope the anime gets to that point this season.

Cid does have his sense of pride after all, and of course, so does Rose. I don't think we saw the full extent of either of their abilities in their sword fight.

Ugh, I can't stand some of the other guys in this show though. They just seem so cheesy with little personality beyond especially this episode. Not sure what direction this anime is going yet but it seems they're trying to introduce all the prominent characters from the story. That cliffhanger though, yikes.

They're meant to be like that because those guys are side characters with Cid. They aren't supposed to be the successful or cool guys of the school.

Cid wants to be a background character, meanwhile Cid "dies" in the middle of the class lmao
I assume that the magic barrier might be an issue but he has to find a way to get over it, otherwise, i don't think he'll survive 1v1 against a mage.

The next episode will be epic! Can't wait!

Lol, Mob arts. Cid just keeps getting more and more attention in his prusue to be a minor character... I think, his motivations aren't too clear to me from all the mumbo jumbo about the Order of Diabolos.

Sherry vs Alexia coffee party lol. Alexia's hidden photo lol not giving up i see.
Oriana vs Cid in tournament, some good mob moves. mc failed the obscure mob long ago, with two princesses & a top scientist, he's more the infamous mob.

The jokes never landed. The power and the true selling point behind this story was the hyper-ironic humor that was enhanced in the manga with 10/10 facial expressions. The anime adaptation didn't manage to translate the jokes so it just became cringe. The actions are also so mid compared to the manga adaptation, which is very disappointing since it was the part I look forward to the most in the anime adaptation. What a shame.

Cid intentionally taking them hits but trolled everyone using I think a tomato or something lol. But he actually then took a hit at the end of the episode, oof. It was also really funny how Alexia started to rage after her conversation with Sherry. Seems like she still has some unsorted feelings with Cid.

The way they repeated that fight scene with Cid losing was actually quite funny.
I have a feeling the real shadow garden hasn't allowed their leader to fall into this trap without having something in place already to deal with it.

This anime is what I could call "cockteasing". It feels so good, but no matter how hard I try I just can't get it off.

It just builds over time, one episode by one, and eventually, It will make me bust the fattest of nuts when he is gonna' reveal himself as the most OP character to ever exist.

I know this is the point of the series, I understood it from the beginning and thought it was great, but I can't help but feel more and more frustrated hahah
I really want the premise of the series to be broken for once and someone discover its true identity.

I don't even mind getting spoilers.

The main protagonist.

I mean just wow, I've seen some really dumb ones in the past, but this guy really takes the biscuit. He gets more bizarre in every episode, tbh I don't think he's the worst. Actually, I laugh at his ridiculousness quite often... Because it's that dumb.
However, I just find much of what he does or how he is pointless.

1. Yeah he's over powered, like way to over powered, even if you lived another life, you wouldn't be this powerful. Especially when your actively trying to suck all the time.

2. Why have him go to such ridiculous lengths to hide his abilities? It's okay to look moderately capable, but they make him act out like some weakling that basically comes across comical and not in a good way.

Lastly, his development with the other characters is very fleeting. By the time I've grown any attachment to a character, they've gone and it's on to the next one.

The whole idea of this concept could of been a good one if thought through properly, but instead we got this. Guess we'll have to make do.

Really...? After Cid fought the Princess of Oriana, Rose Oriana, he just used a background character secret technique? A Spinning Drill Fall: Bloody Tornado, I think he just lose on purpose just by putting like a tomato in his mouth to pretend that's blood when time stops. Now Cid is becoming friends with Sherry, and she talk with Alexia about her relationship with him. She said to her that they broke up and now Sherry might having feelings for him to make Alexia jealous.

I notice this knight character has the artifact to trapped everyone in the academy, they can't use magic here so I guess it's no use until Cid tried to save Rose from a Cult member and got I killed. You guys think he actually died? Well... when I said that Cid was still a background character in the match aganist Rose, I was thinking he faked his own death.
