They are still fighting and failing to kill the spirit tortoise, one of the most non threatening looking bosses out there. I'm half wishing they would just kill the tortoise lady already or she can just off herself for the sake of the end of this boring arc.

Unwatchable. There wasn't even any action to distract you from how bad this show is.


Could not agree more. I skimmed through the episode just reading the dialogue. The writing is so bad.

ost then: we need to cut off its head
ost last time: actually the heart is in a cave.
ost now: I am the turtle

"she could not remember"

that is peak bad writing. memory loss driving the plot is terrible in fiction

"Why does glass look different" lmao Naofumi's asking the real questions.

This new villain reminds me of a side boss character. Like something you'd find in final fantasy or any other rpg. Well his attitude will make him fun to defeat.

There was some neat action in this episode but it just feels flat, and its all because the show rushed so fast into this story. Nothing was built up correctly so its not satisfying to watch. Believe me I know I'm kicking a dead horse with that statement but it's never going to stop being true. Oh no we got to kill Ost, oh well better kill her quickly that means we'll win faster. After you kill Ost, kick this book hero's ass. Kill the turtle girl, kick his ass in that order.

Okay, ignore the fact it wasn't the real heart and so on, but really, why didn't they attack the heart instead of talking to him for af few minutes? His body even wasn't there!

And... if Ost realized she's the core, why didn't she tell them before instead of lookiing guilty? Or is it only because she wanted to live, even if the troubles won't end...?

No one important had glasses until now, but the first important character is with glasses. What did people with glasses did to the writer....?

Honestly pretty decent episode, the white hair book dude is kinda meh and seems sorta pointless atm I mean what is his purpose in showing himself if that is not his ' real body' just to be annoying?
And Ost being the core is kinda surprising and a cool?
I see the next episode going 3 ways, they kill ost, and it ends. Or they kill OST and it doesn't end the book guy laughs and ridicules them again this time for falling for his ' trick' and killing their ' friend' it could also I kind of like/ hate this idea, but OST has the crest thing on her chest like a slave mark. So if Shield Hero could make her his slave it might overrule the connection and she would join his harem? This would be funnish. But unlikely cause I don't think he can do that without the slave merchant guy. 3rdly they do nothing in an attempt to save their freind. But OST gives herself up for the good of the world and the shield hero destroys the core. OST gets a bittersweet sweet send off as everyone cries but OST says something like. " So this is how I really save the world." and the episode ends we transition to the next arc with the book dude and L ' Arcs group. But I could be way off. Honestly this hasn't been a bad season yes it has been a bit of a let down but that is just cause expectations were high.

Ah the guy who broke the seal was absolutely a wanted man even on another world. Interesting for Naofumi decision to not cooperate with them consider they might backstabbing Naofumi again from behind as the wave battle royale thingy still goin on. Ost Hourai slowly regain herself, and finally leading them into the real spot for them to destroy, only to find out that all the journey to the deepest depth kind of a waste of time and energy. Because, you just need to kill Hourai. But man the new dude way of speaking was kinda irritating. I am hoping Filo just kick his ass already without anymore blabbering. Additionally with all the interesting exposition this episode get, i think i can forgive the lack of tension this episode suppose to have. So yeah, being patience again till the next week, i can hold it all up ...

Well fuck. The only shocking thing that happened in all the 5 episodes combined. Really don't want Ost to go but guess they gonna have to kill her?

Anyway, that cliffhanger in last episode just turned out to be of no importance whatsover, the L'arc party and Naofumi party met, exhanged some words and parted, why even were we excited after last week's episode? What were we hoping for? Some badass fight between Naofumi and Glass?

Hated that over-dramatic scene where Raphtalia goes to slash the heart (which btw has stopped attacking for some reason) and then glances over to Ost and then gets teary-eyed, I just cringed after seeing that scene, IDK what's wrong with me.

This was still a pretty weak ass episode if compared to Season 1 but keeping in mind the standards of Season 2 so far, this was a 5/5 episode for me.

Still hoping that this gets better, I want the old Tate no Yuusha back.

Also, Ost=Mommy.

Well, I only started seasonal anime about 2-3 years ago and around 5-6 series in the beginning. I had the same thought as you did. Gradually added more, and realized they are generally spread out pretty well during the whole week for the most part. I have no problems with remembering the plot, that may come with practice. I would only drop anime that have finished airing tbh, one poor episode a week isn't that bad.

Ah... classic Shield Hero writing. Making L'Arc and co. extra stupid so that MC and his group don't lose relevance in the story.

By the way, I don't know why but I found Ost extra hot this episode. Too bad she has such bad memory she totally forgot she was the damn Spirit Tortoise all along!

Book Hero is such a sad weeb.

Something finally happened this episode, but it was mostly setup for the confrontation next week. I'm not ready for Raphtalia to hesitate in killing Ost. I feel like, realistically, the Spirit Tortoise could be defeated within 1-2 episodes. Will it? I'm doubting it.

Damn they're really trying to keep Ost in the story huh.
All that set-up about finding the heart only for them to defeat the heart in seconds, and surprise surprise, it didn't work.

The revelation at the end just served to make everything that happened so far feel even more stupid.

Respectfully disagree- IMO Ost is keeping this season watchable. I'm newer to anime and season 1 blew me away. I HATED all of the villains and really felt for the SH. This season has been such a departure except when Ost is in the forefront or interacting with another character.

So there is a Book Hero. He is really irritating and I was hoping for Filo to kick him.

So Ost was the Spirit Tortoise all along.

Glass is looking good. Naofumi knows his priorities.

I see, that's why I smelled Ost as fishy previously since she is the spirit tortoise core itself. It makes sense and reasonable. Now, with Ost's real identity revealed and with the appearance of the Book vassal weapon wielder, things are getting more interesting and anticipating.

Not sure how I feel about this episode, compared to the past ones of this season I feel like it has improved but I am wondering if the source material is just really poor, It felt like they are really trying to keep Ost in the story. Based on this episode compared to the last few there's definitely been an improvement I just think based on what I've heard people who have read the manga that the tortoise arc is just really poor. Hopefully this show can redeem itself after this arc leading into the end of the season.

Yeah yeah she's the core or whatever, but is she the will of it all? If so then she has all played them for fools despite all the memory/amnesia suppression she was having, and what's the last dude (the Book vassal) got to do with it all though?

This episode was definitely something.

I like to see the growing compassion for mankind that Oust is developing as they move further into the Spirit Tortoise to take out its heart.

I also like how now we know the wielder of the Book vassal, Kyo Ethnina is responsible for the Spirit Tortoise prematurely waking up and taking souls. It allows L'Arc's party to get involved within all of this without trying to kill the Cardinal Heroes. That's good because right now it'd basically be L'Arc's party vs. Naofumi's party as the other three heroes are still USELESS.

The biggest thing to discuss is the fact that Oust is the Spirit Tortoise itself. I myself was able to figure that out right before Kyo revealed that himself given the context clues within the episode that foreshadowed it. I had the thought a little earlier, but I shot it down because Oust said in Episode 2 that she can't die unless the Spirit Tortoise dies. That would imply she has come back to life multiple times and/or she has some other justification for making that statement. To be fair that could have to do with her hazy memory.

So I don't know what to think about the twist as it was contradicted in Episode 2 in the moment that I was describing, but I guess we'll get to see more of Kyo and potentially some other worlds within the series, as Glass implied Kyo has been causing havoc in other worlds.
