Yue is still best girl so Kaori does need a lot of catching up to do

Hate seeing Hajime do my baby kaori like that, she deserves better. But on the other hand it is good for development that her entire character doesn’t revolve around an inferiority complex

One of the top five anime rejection I have ever seen. I honestly don't like any of the girls, except maybe sensei but even that is debatable. Yet when that uppercut of a rejection came even I felt bad for Kaori.
I was expecting to see her fans here but surprisingly she isn't very well liked. Oh well.
It's unique that the MC has picked a girl but I don't know, I don't dig Yue's superiority complex. She should learn from Dia in The world's best assassin.

This labyrinth was tricky for the gang with the slime and illusions in the end.

Hajime was brutally honest with Kaori and said what was needed. But the way he went about it was too harsh. :(

Some of the water & fights were quite good.
Refreshing & rare to see a harem get real. Liking how Hajime tackles relationship issues head on, none of that dense avoiding typical mc. Hope Kaori makes a choice or grows.
Cool each labyrinth got a concept but kinda vague still... reenact history thru magic.

Although I agree Yue is the best girl, but i hate how Hajime treat Kaori in the end. It just made me sick. If you think about Kaori's sincerity, even when Hajime was still a loser, she just don't deserve that treatment. He's being too harsh.

So we getting Kaori's training arc or something after this? She'd definitely not the type to back down easily

This was a really good episode, but there were some things I wish they spent a little more time on. The whole ship scene was a pretty vital part of explaining the past between the human and demon races. They might not be finished with explaining it though and will start it in the next episode since we’re not at a specific part in the LN though. Otherwise, the whole thing with Kaori feeling weak and defeated was done decently, do with they went a little in depth with her inner dialogue, but it’s still good. And Hajime being both harsh and caring by giving Kaori a reality check. Simple: you either accept the hardships you’ll have to go through, or you leave. Def love this episode

The teacher was captured lol, well the opening spoiled that. I'm glad Kaori has more screentime in this episode.

Can Hajime get even more chadder than this? I love how our boy just tells how things are straight up without beating around the bush. I feel for Kaori, but damn she is pretty much the last in line at the moment for Hajime. If she can't accept that she really should move on. Yue and Hajime have been through so much together and I'm glad he's true to his feelings for best girl.

I'm confused about Hajime's mutant abilities, surely he could just consume the blob and somehow gain better abilities or does that only happen in the beginning of season 1?

Kaori should just go in for it, this isn't an episode of The Bachelor lmfao no need for the passive aggressive/jealous stance. At least it isn't entirely focused on Yue, don't think I like her demeanor toward Hajime.

A mysterious faction is trying to take over the kingdom in Hajime's absence, began with the king and troops now it's starting on the students and teacher. Good luck to them

He may be cold and harsh but I respect Hajime for setting things straight with Kaori and letting know he only has eyes for Yue compared to some other main characters who are indecisive for no reason.

It's nice to see a harem MC make it clear that he only has special feelings for one person in the harem while still keeping others close to him.

The situation with the students and kingdom is pretty bad, and I'm guessing the battles with Freid and that god from the beginning will coincide with the events in the kingdom

Did I just witness a harem MC reject a girl to her face and confirm that he loves only one of them🔥🔥😳!! Wow, this easily is one of the best moments of the show considering how mature and IRL it is, as compared to the childish and cliche harem tropes used usually in this show!!

Well I also wonder why Kaori is still there, clearly she won't be able to win against Yue.

Aww, poor Kaori. She should accept the reality that whatever she does, she'll just be a 2nd waifu at best. Hajime owes his life to Yue. Anyway, I prefer Kaori to Yue when it comes to looks.

At least he told one of his stupid harem to f-off, but he stated multiple times he has only interest in Yue.

he loves all of them but Yue is special and he did it to spear Kaori's feelings like if u cant accept that i love multiple women get lost for ur own good

EP 5

Not sure whats gonna happen to myu
Anyway the gang is looking for the 4th(?) labrynth


So yeah this basically was like half an arc or so, the gang goes to the labrynth and gets separated, mr mc and kaori talk a bit aaand what happens next time? next time.
Presumably the labrynth will be wrapped up in ep 6 and then they'll deal with the conspiracy in ep 7 or so

I dunno if its just me but I still havent noticed any difference in the ed, maybe its only obvious side by side

Glad we didn't take the child along this time hope it stays that way.
Definitely noticed some skips quite clearly this episode, even some jumps in logic, presumably he spent a lot of time just searching underwater which is never shown and I guess at some point randomly figured out that the medallion is powered by the moon and shows them the way yet there's no real explanation for this. Aside from that of course a lot of other bad writing but overall comparing it to season 1 especially the second half of season 1, this does seem a bit more interesting overall. Also I guess it's quite rare to see a "harem protagonist" with the sensibility to explain why polygamy doesn't work.
Of course naturally the bad writing is gonna find a way to "make it work" but realistically even with established favoritism, everyone would "suffer" under it even Yue.
Though I'm willing to leave all that aside because it's fantasy and even though any and all forms of polygamy are generally a horrible idea IRL never really work and usually end badly, it's just fantasy so obviously it oversimplifies humans and relationships. So considering all that it was a bit positively surprising to see him even just address one of the issues and calling out how that's unhealthy and a bad idea. (even if it's with the goal to make the "harem concept" work)

He's a bit of a dick, but mad respect for being upfront about Him and Yue to Kaori instead of stringing her along / leaving her in the dark. Shows he still cares

I agree with Nagumo, ever since Kaori joined she's darkened the mood of the whole group with her drama. I get that she's liked him even before when he's a dorky loser but still. Shea and Tio joined and they know their place in the group while Kaori's just annoying really.
