| Scary first half but we got a sweet last half. Ivy finally reached another place with kind-hearted people. Now, I wonder what the next episode will be, especially since, there's a mysterious character from the first half. Someone hugged Ivy, and thankfully, he got some bonkers or I would've done it myself... π I need more adventures of Ivy. π₯² P.S. The animation was kinda icky but still decent. |

| 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. |

@Callidin Is it Ratlua or Lattura? English subs had it spelled the latter way, but hearing it sounded more like the former
| @jpexists I don't watch with subs so I am not sure how people are writing it out. In Japanese, it is Rattorua (γ©γγγ«γ’), which could be interpreted either way. Japanese doesn't have an "L" sound in it, which is why English/certain foreign words like "Light" sound like "Right (raito)" instead when spoken. I am not sure how they translated it for the English books from Seven Seas but the Wikipedia article has it as Latroa. So, people are definitely having a lot of fun with trying to write out his name in English. If one is trying to be close without using the romanji version of the katakana name, it would be Latrua, Ratrua, Latlua, Ratlua, or some similar variation. Then you have me randomly referring to him as Rattler here and there because that is how he initially come across when I first read the JP LN. You can ignore my Rattler as it is not correct and more of a fond name that I have for him. |

| did ivy finally find a party that she can adventure with or even stick around longer with? and it never fails, fireworks made an appearance in this episode too lol |

| Continuing the journey to Otolwa, Ivy gets a notification that Sora has 'evolved' after healing Ciel, but in what way? And the nonoshi...are they as fearsome as she thought? Ivy's traps still fail to catch nonoshi, though an ominous presence catches to her and Ciel dispels the miasma, thus saving her. But the danger is not over, as ogres rage towards her, and a 'suppresion squad' adventurer party comes to her aid, and a seemingly powerful group at that as the Blazing Sword. Escorting her back to their campbase, they have a space for her, and one of them, Lattrua, despite having a 3-star cooking class, he cannot cook food, so that leaves the job to Ivy to cook a decent meal, to everyone's delight. Though Lattrua mistaking Ivy for a boy...he sure got his deserved beating. Still though, it's up to Ivy to improve her skills, they can only guide her as much. |

And Ivy is supposed to be mistaken for a boy... like that's the point and her preferred disguise, so it's good everyone sees her as such, the beating was for the entirely different reason, probably just for getting so touchy-feely. |

Hmm. The first time I am slightly disappointed with an episode. I enjoyed it but there were a lot of changes that I did not particularly like. I will go over those in the LN comparison section.
Ominous presence and a watcher from afar... I have to wonder if the watcher even noticed the Adandala... would be hyper stupid to attack someone who seemed to be close to one...
We got some action that felt odd compared to the rest of the series animation. It was a little rough and choppy. This anime shines when it takes things a bit slower vs continuous action like we saw with the ogre chase. Short, precise action is better I think.
We finally get to meet the Flaming Sword members and Meela. They should be familiar from the OP as the dudes around her. Well intentioned if awkward dudes so far. Rattler/Ratlua especially feels like the impulsive one of the group.
One thing hinted at here was the lack of use of herbs to make food more palatable. I'm sure people with the cooking skill or similar do use herbs and spices but adventurers in the field probably stick to basic vegetables, meat, and salt/pepper. Roast it over the fire and done. If it is gamey meat, yeah, you get funky tastes. Big dudes eating funky meat for weeks at a time in the forest vs Ivy pulling out some cooking knowledge from her past life. Yeah, they gonna fall hard.
The ending scene with the group talking about Ivy is also welcome. This series continues to show that the adults just don't take things for granted and actually think about the events in that occur around them and Ivy's predicament.
For the aura/sense thing Ivy does, not really spoilers but not also information not explicitly stated in the anime yet either:
LN Differences time!

| @Callidin I have a question about one thing if you don't mind answering. |
Reply to Callidin
| @Callidin Thank you very much for explaining that. :) |
| Animation felt a little rough this week, but still another great episode. It hurt a little when the leader noticed how anxious Ivy got when she was told to leave the dishes to others. As nice it is to see Ivy work hard and become independent, I'm reminded that her attitude was necessary for survival and comes from a really painful experience. Also it felt like Dungeon Meshi all of a sudden, which is welcome. |
| looks like the new adventurers who found Ivy is a much better folks that might become true loyal companions of Ivy! they even noticed that there's something going-on concerning Ivy's reactions/attitude to them (cuz of her harsh past y'know) ...very nice ep! 5/5! |

| These episodes start of weird, like what the hell is that thing the spying on Ivy. The colour on that ogre forest looks weird too. It looks like they're really concerned about Ivy's wellbeing. A child traveling would make anyone worried, really hope they let Ivy join their party. |

| @Ahkrin One interesting thing I noticed about that thing (person?) that was stalking Ivy early in the episode: even though Ivy wanted nothing to do with it and its overwhelming aura, Sora didn't have his usual little freakout whenever danger is present. Sora will start going nuts when an alcohol smuggler passes by but was not phased by the intimidating entity? I cannot help but think that is not an accident. (I guess LN readers would know for sure.) |
| I started this series very late into the season, late last week around when episode seven was set to air, so almost two-thirds of the way through the season, but I've been enjoying much of it for the most part. However, these past two episodes felt like the weakest ones so far to me. Especially this last one. This was pretty easily and handily my least favorite episode of the seven. I appreciated the semi-slower introduction to Femicia's/Ivy's world in episodes one and two when it was initially just her, then discovering her new rare slime, and the two of them surviving in the forest on the outskirts of civilization at the village's edge. Seemed oddly tranquil, mellow, and relaxing in a good way despite the quite precarious life or death situation she was in the whole time. A character in a newer fantasy series and especially one which is still technically an isekai actually being weak in practice instead of just in name and having to forage and essentially medieval dumpster dive in the woods just to eat and live, coupled with some novel use of the isekai concept (split consciousness of the past life nestled in her brain and/or soul making the isekai'd person feel like a secondary support character even faceless and offscreen instead of the main PoV character, whereas usually it feels like the new reincarnated person in the non-Earth world it's set in is just like a costume or skin for them to don while their core is still original Japanese person; Ivy is her own person). Then the third episode came and that's the one which is of course going to divide the audience and drive some people away, but I loved it. Still thought it was the best one before or since, and I really unexpectedly thoroughly enjoyed those first two episodes, so that's saying something. It (the third episode) was maddening and disgusting, but it felt viscerally realistic and I always love that balance with the cute and snuggly elements, because it's true to life which always has both light and dark pervading everywhere in some way or another, so always makes the setting and characters of a series feel vivid and organic to me. Sure, the abrupt about-face and "heel turn" of immediate family members treating their own kin, the littlest and previously most protected and doted on daughter to boot, like vermin overnight can seem so extreme and out of left-field as to be too cartoonish/anime-ish, but where any subtle notes of characterization and minor beats scene by scene were missed out on or skipped over, I just chalk that up to unfortunate pacing issues and a need to cram a lot of these series into 11 - 13 episode one-cour packages which often create those artistic casualties. I would still rather have some of the drama and tumult portrayed than none at all even if the series in its current form isn't sufficiently long enough and/or they simply don't possess the writing chops to do it full and proper narrative justice. It's still interesting to include. And then the next two episodes, while probably not as great as the first three, I thought were still proceeding in the right direction. I did in particular relish those lowlife thug scam artist faux-adventurers or corrupt adventurers being taken down toward the end of episode five. And the tent or new home was a nice acquisition and it's good to see the money and item management (magic bags). But yeah, I just found these last two underwhelming and something of a letdown. As I said, mostly this episode seven. I think it has to do with starting to get the sense that she might be moving too many places too quickly and feeling like we're going to be introduced to some kind of one-off, one-note characters who mainly stick around for only like an episode or two. I'm never a fan of that structure. It started to remind me a little too much of By the Grace of the Gods season 2 (another isekai involving slimes and taming), and that's not good company to keep. The first season would be fine, but please show, don't go the route of the second. Also started to feel like things were quickly snowballing into becoming too easy - copious sums of money suddenly falling into her lap, in addition to the powerful and protective monster friends she's gained now increasingly every human - or the majority - being also protective of her and extremely nice, courteous, well-intentioned, etc. It started to feel like it was devolving a bit into another one of those isekai where the main character is just praised and worshipped by strangers left and right the second they encounter them. That's also one of the largest contributing factors behind what really soured me on the direction they went with By the Grace of the Gods. |

| Oh man, the animation choice for the first few seconds was weird. The warping of the background was making my eyes hurt. |
| The group read her situation like a open book! I don't understand why ciel is always left alone. People are aware of the tamer skill so wouldn't it make sense that tamers would have familiars around them? All he examples we've seen are just slimes. |

Was, this EP outsourced? The EP quality seems very different from previous EPs (as in lower quality).
Alright, we met Raltua & Co. this EP, so we've pretty much started the 1st arc of the series (if you didn't consider previous EPs as arc that is). Considering this is EP7 out of 12, it's safe to say that the season would end with

. Well, duh, ofc it'd end with that. I mean what else can it end on, right?
| @uncleqrow uncleqrow said: Was, this EP outsourced? The EP quality seems very different from previous EPs (as in lower quality). I noticed that too (that's why I came to check the episode discussion). The first episode went needlessly hard with the tumbling down the hills animation (why even bother animating that scene, if it was even in the source material at all), and then there's this episode which uses scrolling backgrounds for Ivy running. Not to mention that something constantly feels off visually in this episode. I looked it up, and this is the only episode where there isn't an episode director credited. Which is weird but leads to more questions than answers. |
| Nice , More Normal Guys... That Firework Show Was Dope! |
| Lol She got into the traps that are intended for ogre XD |

| Ciel saves Ivy from a mysterious foggy aura that approaches her in the forest; They encounter a large demon monster on the hillside and Ciel fights it while more descend on Ivy. Ivy runs away into a forest of dead trees and hanging scarecrows; The demon monsters are distracted by Lattrua's flame attack. Lattrua's party is known as the suppression squad who are known to hunt down monsters. Seems like Ivy got caught in a trap they set for the demon monsters but all is well now that they welcome her into their party. She begins a cooking lesson with Lattrua and they make a very good looking strew; The other adventurers in the Suppression squad are concerned for Ivy. - So far it's panning out more toward the adventure side so we are seeing many random encounters and this just so happened to be one of them. It's a light hearted on with bonding over cooking this episode |
| Sora is very happy. What sinister shadow was that that left Ivy so scared?.. Meeting new strong people. |

| more friends. i assume we'll see these guys for a while as they are on the cover :D and they come from where she wants to go |
