So basically that ability is kind of speedrunning device for her animation skills lol, the chapters/panels that usually takes more than a day will get it done instantly with that ability. The only downside is, it will drain her stamina depending on what kind of drawing she will make.

So far so bueno! I liked how fluid and sleek their animation with this one.

Anime fans are so fickle. The fact this has a 7.31 on MAL is insane. This show is great, animation is top tier. People are salty that the show isn't what they were expecting it to be so they're neg-reviewing it rather than taking it for what it is.

The interesting part to me regarding this episode will be what the effects of her changing the story will be. One can assume it will take a somewhat dark turn if she doesn't end up knowing what will come next, and could lead to members of the Soldiers dying. Will be interesting to see what comes next, but I'm liking this show a lot so far!
@Zak-_- If a MAL rating ever upsets you, just remember that anyone can rate them, and chances are a lot of people gave it a 1 while not watching a single second of the show.
Don't listen to people when they tell you that the anime that you want to see doesn't exist, and to quit asking, and quit searching. I found my dream anime, and yours could be out there too. Speaking of which, watch Record Of Grancrest War, you're missing out.

I thrive on fantasy anime, and anime with all adult casts!

Well it's good to see that this wasn't a one-hit-wonder, and that this 2nd episode had blessed us with the same amount of eye candy as before. The production so far is definitely more than solid- and we get quite the bangers for the OP and ED as well. Not bad bro.

Natsuko is going to have her magical-girl-type powering-up sequence every time she goes into drawing mode now isn't she? But that's no problem at all because what a beautiful sequence it is. As to what she drew this time, got no f*cking clue. Whatever it was though, it was quite satisfying seeing it clear the skies of all those pesky giant flying bugs. Now while everyone's going to look forward to said sequences, I think my personal favourite part of these episodes is going to just be Natsuko eating the hearty meals that Luke cooks for her.

Natsuko's face being almost constantly hidden by all her hair is a bit weird, and annoying even. But it just makes you all the more appreciative when you DO get to see her face; kind of like whenever Gojo removes his mask. It's easy to see how Luke is catching himself being mesmerized by her. Her actual character though? Eh, still has to win me over personally. Wouldn't hurt if she acted just a little less like a kid.

Ok but the real question now is: did that unicorn kid actually put his horn up Natsuko's ass??

Band-Maid's OP is a lot better than the offerings from this rather weak season when it comes to OPs, that's for sure. Sou's ED is a touch above average as well.

A Tale of Perishing is a lot sound as far as it goes, but Natsuko being reincarnated in her own story certainly gives Luke Braveheart and the other members of the Nine Soldiers the cynicism shown on their faces, especially with the pegbar that only is called upon to defeat the monster Voids. And her fascinating interest upon her own imaginary world, coupled with the fact that there's only one Soul Future left before the Great Void diminishes their world, which Baobab wants her to be part of the group due to the critically of her knowledge regarding the Voids. It's just too bad that Luke could not get along with her, and as much as Natsuko wants to return to Japan, there's just no two ways around it.

Indeed, Luke just can't leave Natsuko alone, and has to trust in her judgment since she's the director of the story...and has to survive on food for the time being. By then, Natsuko's become somewhat famous for being the new member of the Nine Soldiers, in anticipation for the next Void attack, which indeed came from the sky. And with the pegbar not being able to accept existing drawings and only new ones, this mid-air battle dilemma forces Natsuko to get creative while Luke and the others help hold back towards her animation attack, which MAPPA certainly knows how to deliver on quality.

This certainly holds a lot more promise now...

I liked the opening from the first viewing! The episode is interesting and quite funny. Finally, they showed more of the main character's face.

I feel like there could have been more potential for this anime... the story could have been that she gets transported to different anime every episode (or every other episode) to explore all the genres and different types of stories that could be created. It would make sense since she was in a creative block in the previous episode and that's what I thought would happen but it looks like this is just a regular isekai.

Not a big fan of her rotten personality, even if she has a pretty face… I won’t li— I like her!

She doesn’t want to see Luke break down from losing his loved ones like in the movie. I can’t say for sure if she realizes that herself, but I’m guessing she does.

For now, nothing particularly interesting has happened. It seems Natsuko’s ability to change fate only activates when there’s an actual battle.

Is this basically a magical girl isekai?
If every episode will just reuse that formula with the copy paste transformation sequence, this ain't gonna be enjoyable on the long run.

The prophet of the Last Town, Elder Baobab decides that Natsuko should join the Nine Soldiers but her and Luke are at odds.

Natsuko tries to figure a way back home, but then remembers what happened next in "A Tale of Perishing" and realizes everyone is in danger again from the Void.

The transformation scene and the attack are really insane.
But how did they beat off the void in the original story after losing the unicorn ?

That belly keeps rumbling.
She looks like "Cousin Itt" from the Addams Family.
