As if she hadn't already had a lifetime of pain, Nell just had to be suffering in her final moments too. Bless her heart, man. And Alicia's too, that resurrection process looked absolutely brutal.

Watching the bandits feed the fish a bit more personally than usual felt validating as hell.

@MenchiK1 Her eye was already gone before fought him the first time. There is nothing to restore.
@Sheol01 She started the fight with two good beautiful blue eyes (still there at 11:12 EP1 when making her final attack), and had it damaged at the end of the fight (11:26), as she flung back, losing her leg, you can see her eye scratched and bleeding, but not gouged out (11:40). Most of it was still there. Clevatess had no problem reattaching her (not cleanly, but ragged) severed leg. Why did not the mostly still there eye heal?
She acquires an eye patch, this episode, from one of the bandits.

Fuck, Nell deserves better than that. But it seems very obvious that Clen will fix her and then


You usually also wouldn't waste a seiyuu like Aoi Yuuki on a character who only appears in 2 episodes or so.
@FMmatron I dunno if that is a gotcha because that could just be a day's work to add a small feather to her cap.

@MenchiK1 I'll rewatch it, but she had the eyepatch for awhile now.
@Sheol01

She literally just got the eyepatch this episode, and wore nothing over her scarred missing eye after he reanimated her. What show are you even watching there has only been 3 episodes, it hasn't been long enough to forget.

One of the remarkably nice touches in this series is the shift in video quality for flashbacks and the ending credits. Reminds me of VHS and takes me back to the days of watching fansubs on tape.

@pixelante
That would be rather unusual. When they got her for Hyouka for instance she voiced 3 minor characters. And here it's already like confirmed that her role won't be merely small one.

Then again, they got someone like Shigeru Shiba to voice Vroko who will probably be a goner by the next episode.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Alicia being put back together like that was something else, so she is immortal but damn that must have hurt lol.
Interesting how magic can be used effectively against Clevatess, he wasn't expecting that.
Those bandits got what they deserved, all eaten by those fish.

Never very sensitive, is he?

Sir, Yes Sir!

Why does her eye and scars not heal? He said anything not completely destroyed will heal.

@LordCrueltyV I think it's because of Clevatess dark blood (or whatever the name was). She has checkpoint from when she receved that thing and going forwards can be healed not prior injuries. Big puppy put her back in one piece and gave her blood to be imortal. Just my guess, could be wrong.
Anyway, deff anime of the season with LOTM. Good summer is upon us my friends.

I bet the baby is going to make Clen change his mind and ressurect Nell in the next episode. Due to all that drama dump, there is no way they're just gonna keep her dead. Alicia fighting those disgusting bandits was great as well, although the action animation was a little average compared to previously. I'm really excited to see how she will get that legendary sword though. You just know a show is really good when it only feels like 5 minutes to you before the credits roll.. and that's with me watching ep 2 and 3.. one after the other. This is going to be a painful wait if every episode is this awesome.

I can't remember the last time I've watched a really good dark anime... so Clevatess has been quite the surprise of the season for me. Super enjoying it.

I enjoy the dark fantasy you have here. The Nell death felt not forced but also not tear dropping sad. It was a sad scene to see and nice to see how she reflected her action to the last episode. It was sad but nothing too forced. I nejoyed it pretty much. But cliffhangers everywhere are Maddening :C

Those squelching sounds along with Alicia's bones snapping into place was a little hard to watch lmao I did not like those sounds. I also didn't expect this show to be this gory.

Nell's corpse was messed up O_o

Naturally, Alicia would be floating in that barrel, not sinking to the bottom of the lake, especially at a fast speed plus think about the process of getting into a barrel while the scaffolding collapses and on top of that these monsters would probably smell her😐...shaky writing but the episode as a whole was gripping. I like how in this world, magic is a new technology and to have access to this technology you need the arcanacite. This is well thought out by the author of this series. The writing is good for most of the series thus far so where quality drops it is forgiven (The animation in the action scenes is very poor). Regardless of the holes here, I am looking forward to episode 4 and beyond. The uniqueness and good writing has got me hooked in forsure👍

The writer is great. In 99% of fiction MC would succeed in rescuing the girl like a hero on a white horse, but nope we were a little too late and she lies dead, torn, mutilated in troll's vomit and clevatess is like "well tough shit but whatever". Alicia is also super enjoyable, this crazy bitch is almost as unhinged as Panty and Stockings. And I love the voice actress Haruka Shiraishi (mostly known for Asirpa from Golden Kamuy), she is so good in portraying cold, capable and brave heroines - sheer excellence.

@Sigmar-Unberogen The manga really falls off after this arc. I quit reading it after chapter 20 or so.
@billybub I disagree that it falls off. There's currently 55 chapters and this season will adapt up to 25 which will conclude the arc after this one. Maybe you didn't like the arc after chapter 25 because school arc=bad but the manga is overall pretty well written in what it sets out to do though you might not like the choices it makes.

Damn, I kind of hoped Neruru would escape her fate.
Alicia on the other hand is such a badass but Cleavatess's healing is no gentle thing. I kind of wonder if she will go insane from the pain of his healing before the season ends.

I really like how unique this anime's premise is, it's got potential to be something special. The legendary sword better end up being insanely powerful after all that effort Alicia put in.

P.S. I feel so bad for Nell though, her whole life is just suffering...

Wow this Episode was something else. Alicias regeneration scene was incredibly intense and raw highlighting her immense badassery and resilience to fight on. Her powers have limits making her intelligence even more compelling.

The introduction of magic adds an exciting new layer hinting at limitless potential. And it was incredibly satisfying to see the bandits get what they deserved.

This show continues to be gripping and unhinged. The tension was clear and Im already desperate for the next Episode.

I figured that Clevatess would need to revive Alicia and he sort of did with forcing his blood back into her and jump starting her heart again. Also, it was interesting to find out that the regeneration process is painful and so is suffocation. Now I wonder how she'll be able to locate the sword in the dark murky water, guessing she may be drawn to it.

Regarding Nell, Clevatess implied he would let her die with the baby by her side but I think he might reconsider once the baby gets hungry again (unless she can't give milk if she's revived with his blood or something).

after this episode, I really feel like this studio would be a fantastic choice to give us a proper Beserk adaption that's almost 1:1 to the manga.

this is like one of the cleanest anime I've seen with this dark of subject matter, and every episode I just think: "Berserk could totally use this treatment right now"

Still one of the best new anime. The only drawback to this episode all the intricate plot is slowing the overall story down.
The big goal is that Clevatees is aiming to at least take over some of the human realms. But a lot of time was spent on Big Sis explaining how bad things are. Alicia is kicking butt cleverly, but the story only needs her to get that sword. Nell continues to be used as a punching bag so Bandit leader can do some exposition. And why is Clevatees just waiting for Nell to die when he can save her? He needs her "skills ".
They only get 12 episodes and at this rate our protagonists aren't going to get very far.

If Clen was a human, I'd be enraged that he didn't save Nell before she gotten swallowed. He clearly arrived in time, but he just decided to watch. But he's an amoral being (or at least, he's outside of the bounds of human morality), so it's more understandable that he just wished to observe. Luckily, Betty didn't really chew much, so Nell isn't completely dismembered :/

Alicia came back but that looked painful. Also why were they having a q&a in that situation lol. Alicia's quite smart on top of being strong, she navigated the situation very well. Nelu got eaten but barely alive. Clevatess will give her ichor too. Also again the flashback visuals were a bit blurry so it's intentional.

I thought I already wrote about this episode, but it seems to have slipped my banana brain. I gotta say, the character dynamic is starting to shine more and more in this show. The more I watch, the I grow attached to the world; characters; stories; and plot. I gotta say when I started the first episode I did not anticipate the shows plot to take this very grounded plot line.
The reason for my surprise and take is due to the overwhelming amount of isekai "reinventing" the wheel of their genre by using the fantasy element. I thought this fantasy would take our female lead and make her 'apprentice' of the villain and she learns more about the world through the 'villain' while they learn more about humans and their world and they fall in love or whatever.

But because I didn't read the synopsis I ended up going in blind, coming up with a ridiculous assumption and came out shocked it didn't fit any mold that was already created. Addition, it does fit a mold, which i am not very familiar with. And I am welcome it.

Anyway, this episode surprised me through the humanization of the main cast, the hopefulness that our naive main cast has and a refreshing smart villain although I might be giving too much credit where credit is due. The way the fight is animated leaves room for criticism but its not something to sneeze at. That being said, it almost feels insulting to anticipate a shonen type of battle sequence only to be met with *poorly played kazoo* whatever that was. But again, its does the job so I should just take it with a table of salt.

I will be rating this episode based on 3 things (PLOT, SOUNDTRACK, CHARACTERS)

Plot: 7/10
ngl, very surprised by how naive the main character is... this dude is like >1000s years old
Soundtrack: 8/10
I love the opening, the sound track in this episode is wonderful, but Im not much of musical person so beep boop
Characters: 9/10
the villain is surprisingly cunning is catching me off guard by how witty he is when it comes to out smarting the main characters. And the main cast, except the knight, is just one naive bundle of joy. Very nice!

Overall: 9/10
love this episode but -1 for such a cliff hanger UGH
