 Narberal's smile makes your heart race.  Renner's makes it stop. |
| from reading the LN you'd never expect evileye to be this cute, voice was great too really fit her dreamy persona |
akihikosama said: Pretty funny episode. Felt a bit rushed though. Did they skip over the whole ressing of the two blue rose that got killed or did that never happen? Was expecting some sort of meeting dialog there. It does seem strange, but even in the light novels the resurrection happened off-screen. All we really missed here in that regard was Ainz asking a few more questions about how resurrection magic works in this world. EratiK said: Also >not Evil Eye too. Is she a bard? Not sure I understood that part, I thought she was a wiz. It's a little confusing here, but it's explained as part of this same inner monologue in the LNs that Evileye had always scoffed at bards for the ridiculousness of stories where the hero scoops up the damsel in distress and fights while carrying her in his arms... until this moment where the warrior she's suddenly become infatuated with scoops her up to fight with her in his arms and her heart flutters like a giddy schoolgirl and she apologizes in her head for every time she's ever made fun of those bards and their stories. And then the punchline comes when he carries her less like a princess and more like a sack of potatoes, because logically that's way more efficient if he's going to keep fighting, especially with her small stature. |

| there's lots to take away from this episode, but I want at least single out one: THAT ENDING! To end the episode on Renner's true look.....was godly, imo |

bro......*claps emphatically* Perfect description! |

| Easy to Sebas, but the best is out!!! kekeke Well, one left, but this is not end yet!!! |
srafayms said: Hmmm so what is the Princess thinking, that Climb will end up dead and then he will be resurrected back. So she's gonna nurse him and make a move on him? Or maybe i am interpreting it wrong? helpp! Something like that. In the previous episode, she made a deal with Zanac (her brother) and Marquis Raevan (which the anime kinda rushed through, so it wasn't as clear as it could have been) to arrange things such that they would use the raids on the Eight Fingers to find the evidence they needed to kick their oldest brother out of the running for the throne so Zanac could be next in line for king; Renner would be engaged to and eventually marry Raevan's currently 5-year-old son to strengthen his position in the nobility; and she would have a child with climb while Raevan's son could have a child with whatever woman he wanted, they would be raised as part of the royal family, and Zanac and Raevan would help cover it up. The anime didn't really mention it, but Renner intentionally set the deal up so that none of them could rat out any of the others without admitting to their own wrong-doing, so no one could back out. Her idea to send Climb on a suicide mission, then have him resurrected and nurse him back to health is meant to help along his willingness to secretly have an extra-marital child with her. How well that will work out, only time shall tell. |

| At least Sebas is still cool. I wonder if Ainz remembers on some level that he's actually a human being stuck in that body? He has an incredible lack of giving a damn about people's lives. The whole Evileye crush thing was a bit silly. All the more so since she was nearly murdered in this episode by the guy she's crushing on. Can't see her lasting for very long. A number of ridiculously strong people lined up to murder her for that reason alone. Well let's hope the last episode is strong and maybe the fake fight with Ainz and Demiurge continuation cant have some thrills to it. |

You're welcome! It is one of the weaknesses of this anime, a lot of the subtler details are lost because they have to cut things down to fit within the allotted time span, not to mention some things are just harder to convey in anime than in a novel. |

| Gotta say I love how Ainz was one step away from losing it and killing Evileye on the spot for almost killing Entoma. |

Very elaborative and clearly explained, thank you very much! |

He has an incredible lack of giving a damn about people's lives. those lives benefit nothing to Nazarick or him. Why should he care It's a complicated issue that isn't well addressed in the anime. Up to this point in the LNs, Ainz has questioned multiple times whether his undead form is causing him to lose his humanity and move further away from his former self as Satoru Suzuki, but he hasn't really had time to sit down and think about it extensively. The anime hasn't really done as much with that, since they have to move so much faster. |

| What was that? A satisfying episode? What is this, season 1 again? Have I mixed something up or was Brain Unglaus a bandit in the past? So why is everyone acting like he is their best buddy? Well, who cares. Renners Dog and that other sword guy like him, so the lower adventurers see no harm in it. Evileye getting all girly for Momon, I could see this as an actual item - Turn vampires back to humans and add them to your party, or harem, or whatever you fancy. Nabe getting angry at her, nice. I wonder how strong Evileye is in comparison to the other maids? MistLiigh said: It's a complicated issue that isn't well addressed in the anime.

I liked how he was remembering his old friends, but having them cut him questioning his actions because of humanity and emotions sucks |

This has been his mentality about the new World since day 1 |

Comander-07 said: what do you mean by that? She is not what? I figured she only defeated insect maid because of the support from the other two and her special spell. She's not strong. Narberal is level 60+ while evil eye is around 50-51 estimated |
| Sebas was "just the slightest bit stronger" lmao best part of the episode. |
 |
| Zero died already? I was expecting more. |
 |
SwordWielder said: Zero died already? I was expecting more. Why? ZEro is nothing. Sebas is far above them in level. |
| Because monks are kewl. |

Comander-07 said: Have I mixed something up or was Brain Unglaus a bandit in the past? So why is everyone acting like he is their best buddy? Well, who cares. Renners Dog and that other sword guy like him, so the lower adventurers see no harm in it. He was running as a mercenary for awhile, which included working with the bandits Shalltear decimated in season 1. But most people don't know that; the reason he's so recognized was a public exhibition match sometime before the start of the series with Gazef, the captain of the Royal Select (the one he's currently staying with), who's hailed as the strongest in the Kingdom. He was on-par with Gazef and only narrowly lost, so his strength is well recognized. Comander-07 said: Nabe getting angry at her, nice. I wonder how strong Evileye is in comparison to the other maids? According to character profiles from the LNs, Entoma is level 51. Characters who weren't part of the game Yggdrasil don't always have specific level information, but Evileye is estimated to be around the equivalent of level 50, and happened to have a hard-counter to Entoma in her Vermin Bane spell. Entoma, however, I believe has the lowest level of the maids; Narbarel sits at 63, for example. |
| "EVERYBODY, CLAP YOUR HANDS!" "PLUS ULTRA!" |
| Sebas just keeps proving how badass he is, episode after episode. Looking forward to seeing how all of this gets wrapped up in the finale. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Another great episode, really hope in the next one they announce the third season BUT i don't have high hopes. Fortunately i'm reading the manga that is not so bad, can't wait for volume 7 new arc. <3 4/5 |
| Ainz has them all wrapped up around his bony fingers. Brilliant. |
| Fantastic episode, I highly recommend to anyone who wants to continue with the story to read the light novel's. |
The Soviet Union will revive #communism |
| so we get one more episode left, I thought this is the end. lmao, Momon almost said Demiurge name. |

But Entoma is a more support-like character so we can assume she is the weakest in terms of 1v1 combat. Other maids are a bit stronger with levels around 55-63. |
| That end shot was absolutely nightmare fuel. O_O |

Well, to be fair, I've been keeping up with the official English release of the LNs, so I've only read through volume 6 (the end of this season)... I think there was one kind of off-hand mention of her up to this point... I'm not even 100% whether it was in the LNs or the anime honestly. |
| "EVERYBODY, CLAP YOUR HANDS!" "PLUS ULTRA!" |
| Guys, please..... can I start read the LN after this season? Wich volume Must i start? |
 |
| That fight was so amazing I almost blinked and missed it. Oh wait, I did blink and it ended, wow what a let down. Evileye needs to do a face reveal. |
Dudufranchi said: Guys, please..... can I start read the LN after this season? Wich volume Must i start? This season will cover to the end of volume 6, so if you feel you must skip to this point, start with volume 7. I would strongly suggest starting from the beginning, as the LNs offer a lot deeper detail, stronger characterization, explain some things better, and there have been a few things here and there cut completely from the anime (the one that stands out most in my mind was a major scene in volume 3 with Albedo's "sister"). Also, the official English release, at least in the United States (I can't speak for anywhere else) only currently goes to volume 6, with volume 7 coming out near the end of May... I can't speak for anything unofficial. |
| "EVERYBODY, CLAP YOUR HANDS!" "PLUS ULTRA!" |
| Does anyone else find Renner more of a cringey awkward teenager who says edgy stuff for attention, rather than creepy? 'Creepy' feels like giving too much credit to the uncomfortable things she says. |
| This episode was a snoozefest. Close to nothing of interest really happened. |
| Will be really nice if they go with 24 episodes in Season III. Story is really rushed... |
Lord_Rutsah said: The moment when Ainz and Nabe thought Entoma was dead and Evileye had her back turned on them... Holy shit. She has no idea how close she came to dying. PERMANENTLY |
| Yeah, yeah, we get that Renner is a Yuno Gasai wannabe already: we've already had two post-credits scenes making that clear, so a third one at this point feels gratuitous and pointless. The fights were once again a massive letdown, over way too quickly and with little to no effort put in to them in terms of animation. Only interesting thing is what Demiurge is actually up to and what Ains is going to be forced to do to him to maintain his reputation. But, of course, this second season is more interested in boring characters like Climb and Brain, so we'll get more of them instead of the actual main character again, I'm sure. |
| I swear to god if they leave us off with some cliff hanger they better give us a third season soon. |
| >copy LN chapter >paste into decent TTS reader >instant season 3 Been doing this to listen to while I work, it's very enjoyable |

Well, thank you very much.... this was kinda illustrative... maybe i start from volume 1... english is not my mother language and here in Brazil they hardly ever translate LN, only mangas.... so even that i speak english it's not the same joy as to read in portuguese, but i don't wanna wait for another season, if it happen someday |
|
| I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't show the resurrection and Ainz meeting Lakyus, since I assume that the resurrection did take place. Evileye being all lovey-dovey with Momon was weird, but I guess that adds another loli to his harem xD Sebas' fight was short as expected. It actually surprised me that Ainz was just there by accident and had no plan to fight with Demiurge in the first place. Wonder what Demiurge's plan is though aside from burning down half the city ^^; Only one episode left... it's just never enough >_< |
