I don't understand why they even bother to semi-adapt the events and stuff from the game though.
The events aren't important to the main story, and are typically never even mentioned (almost as though they never happened).
Rather than create a weird situation like this that doesn't make any sense for anime viewers, just... don't adapt the event?
Do something original or move the story forward.

Minor pointing out of something here, but the Events, at least everything up to the Twinkle Wish New Year Event, is important and were implied to have happened in the game. Karyl, for instance, brings up how during the Gourmet Guild and Sarendia Orphanage's summer trip, Yuuki started behaving differently than he normally would.



The Christmas Event that this Episode adapted was also true to the Main Story with how Yuuki and Kokkoro still lived at the orphanage with Saren, Suzume, Kurumi and Ayane, with the only time this stops being as such is, IIRC, during the second Summer Event where those two already started living with Pecorine and Karyl at the guild house Miss Karin provided them after proving themselves of deserving it.



But yeah, I agree. While I understand it's to also market the game and entice viewers unaware of that it's based on a gacha game, at least adapt the Event stories in a non-confusing way if they really have to. Both this and last Episode have shown how bad they can hybridize and streamline said stories with whatever original content they're trying to mix it with.

Nozomi cheeks are so tasty, Chika had to take a bite. lol

nice to see Saren again, she even look more beautiful now.

Charlie being accused of taking advantage of a young girl. Then got spanked. I laughed so hard at the "not gonna leave his wife" part.

just one thing confuses me.. Princess Strike cannot hurt Foggy because it is not a magical attack? But the thing that Nozomi did is magical, so it worked? I always thought Princess Strike is "magical", so the information in this episode is surprising.

According to game, Nozomi and Pecorine have 0 Magic Attack, while Chika has 0 Physical Attack. So what probably happened is Chika's Magic Attack forced Foggy to materialise its physical form and Nozomi did the physical attack.

At this point in across both series we've now got introductions of every guild except Lucent Academy and (maybe but unlikely) Dragon's Nest (Twinkle Wish doesn't count). I except they should introduce at least Lucent Academy before the season moves onto finishing up the season story-wise in the last 4 or so episodes.


Looks like I was right about

There's a new guild, Ayane's big bear stick looks really cute and it can talk.
Also Yuki remembers another memory from the previous world.

Not sure. So far, you can still watch this without playing the games. On the other han, do try to have a better grasp of the situation.

At this point, I'm thinking we running out of our 24 episode budget, and we need Yuuki to undertaken some bad ass awakening where his current reality is just a dream and everything he has experienced so far is a fantasy illusion hes trapped in and needs to break out of to defeat something!

The Game and Anime have somewhat different "routes"

They use a lot of same events and materials, but the plot differs a little bit.

Mainly cause Yuuki in the anime is meeting the girls one-by-one with Gourmet Guild instead of like the game where Yuuki met everyone within 1 month by himself.

As such, certain events in the anime is play out differently than in the game. (but main plot remains the same)

___ ___ ___

Also, still love the "little kid Chika", she's so cute, LOL

And Saren with ponytail is cute too.

___ ___ ___

And we also got more of Suffer Yuuki... it's so sad that he can feel, but doesn't remember...

The true "Gomen Yui" is that Yuuki doesn't remember her.

Hmm yeah feels weird having the idol return and she suddenly getting trouble. I honestly didn't even remember her much. As expected its related to the game matter. This is why sometimes anime only watcher can having a disadvantage when watching the adaptation of the game, or vn, or ln, for clear example. I even don't remember much if the orphanage loli already been introduced before. Since my memory kinda lost and pretty much like what they got this episode xd. But anyway, this is still a decent episode. More moe loli always welcome to my book, and Pecorine-Karyl moment was also so nice too there. Thanks to some of the comment above, i can somehow grab little about the reason of whats goin behind their action. Even if i honestly don't really get the basic continuity of this episode over the previous episode, but sure that's still fine! Episodic episode for the win!

Hm, so Chika wanted to help Yuuki.. To return his memories.. That's sweet from her.. Wouldn't think she is so close to Yuuki to try to help him in this.. Well, maybe she just learnt info about this spirit, and Yuuki came up to mind, so why not to try.. Maybe that's how it happened.. Or who knows..

They used the same reason she summoned Foggy from the game, which is stupid.
Only this time, her and Yuuki's relationship is informed at best (they are much closer in the game, and the context as to why is way different).

I wonder why Chika wants to help Yuuki get his memories back by unsealing Foggy? It went weird and funny. We got some nice sibling like moments with Karyl and Pecorinne there. Plus more memories of Yuuki's past have been regained.

The anime used almost the exact same reason she had from the game, only this time they have next to no actual bond with one another since we never saw them interact or even become friends.

I've never played the game and seeing Yuuki's flashbacks makes me a little confused. The audience is supposed to know what his past is and who those girls are or is it something that will be explained in the near future.

You don't need to play the game; you just need to have seen last Season to know that the girls in his flashback were his old guildmates prior to their ill-fated battle against Kaiser that got them all killed and caused Yuuki's amnesia.

Chika's reason for wanting to help Yuuki felt like it came out of nowhere but still great episode (except for poor Charlie getting slapped and everyone thinking Pukichi was ventriloquism smh).

Could anyone explain the joke in the last scene to me?

Ayane's Bear Pukichi: "No, no! You gotta be as loud as you were earlier!"
Scene changes to screenshot.
Voice in the backround: "Th-That was just from a memory of something I saw in a book on Mama Saren's bookshelf..."
Karyl: "What kind of bookshelf would that have to be?"

Probably something suggestive. But I don't quite get it.
Maybe it got lost in translation.

Kurumi was manipulated earlier on by the spirit and was acting like a desperate woman.
Saren was reading those romance melodrama books which kurumi happened to read.

I want to lick Karyl's armpits!

Chika's character design and the way she was eating voraciously while licking herself and Nozomi and then biting her were so arousing. I got a boner from that. Haha!

I wish Pecorine would carry me on her back like that. I want to smell her fragrant hair mixed with her sweaty nape!
Yuuki's memories of the past are interesting. I'm so curious to know more about what happened back then. Yui is his love interest, right?
