| Man I love these two. I wish they got more screen time. |
First of all: Phandora and Johan are better than the main duo. Second: I kept thinking all the time that Phandora was a necromancer, but like, undead at the same time, since she was always cold, I thought she was dead. Usually, I always guess the plots as they are quite obvious, but in this anime, it surprised me several times, and that's a pleasant surprise. |
| Man, I kind of wish Phanora and Johan were the main characters, I enjoyed their dynamic way more then Ashaf and Guideau. |
| Undead muder farse can exist alongside this anime. |

| I actually really liked this episode. That was some crazy level of power from Phanora That is really a dark fate for people that get resurrected. What a weird bittersweet ending. This guy gets to be with his love again but only for her to eventually fall back into the void. Jackson1333 said: Man, I kind of wish Phanora and Johan were the main characters, I enjoyed their dynamic way more then Ashaf and Guideau. Yeah I think everyone likes them more so hopefully they get shown as frequently as Ashaf and Guideau. I assume why Ashaf and Guideau are the main characters are because they are more goal oriented but I totally could have rolled with some series where it's just Phanora and Johan in a sort of occultist slice of life drama. |

| The new Duo makes me want to watch this anime but it's still hopeless, in the previous episode we have secrets and in this one again everything is simply explained in the monologue of the villain who is again easily defeated, it's really boring xD |
| As I suspected, Johan is undead, but it wasn't until the reveal that we find out Phanora is also a witch! The animation of the scrolling runes was just beautiful. Is it bad that I frankly love the Phanora / Johan pairing more than the original duo? Phanora's VA's voice is just so lovely to listen to, it kind of reminds me of the lady from xxXholic. |
 |
| Ok I liked the aesthetics in the first episode but this is as far as I can go with this one. The second pair was better than the protagonists but not by much. The mini arcs are boring because half of them are about explaning basic and well known occult stuff, while the other half is watching out of league one or two dimensional main characters easily stomping way weaker one dimensional villains with petty reasons. And the switch from action to a slow occul detective and drama work wasn't done well with how edgy and poorly written the series is, it would have been better if it kept being an action show instead. Even the music, which I liked the most, changed to something more typical in later episodes, and at times it even tries to sound like horror even though there's nothing here that comes off as scary. I like the Beauty AND Beast aspect of it though. |
| A man who looks like a banana I forget for a month talks about how he likes beautiful things. Pls start from yourself |
| Dang, didn't expected that woman to be a witch and Johan to be an Undead... |

I didn't know if I was really feeling the anime until this episode, but now I can get into it. I hope they keep it up!
| @Noelle43 Same! I personally like Phanora and Johan wayyyyyyyy more than the MC duo |
 |
| So the organisation employs a witch? There were a few hints but I didn't thought this would be the case. And she is a necromancer on top of that. This could have been a great episode if it wasn't for the children's writing villain. It gets less complex as we go on. |
| I thought necromancy requiring maintenance or else you lose your mind was bad. But your soul is doomed to a void forever too? What an evil fate for the Necromancer to force upon others. I'm glad Phanora gave him a taste of his own medicine. |
 |
| GREAT ep, almost makes up for the weird chick who adopted boys near maturity just to get closer to her boyfriend/fiance… Uh, yeah. *scratches head with wondering* |
| The Death Knight is much more powerful than those undead :) |

| Don't let Guideau know that she's a witch or is going down lmao |
 |
| Coming up on the midway point and it’s pretty interesting. |
| Good episode without the main characters, that guy got what he deserved for throwing so many people into the EMPTY. |
  |
| That arc was incredible. I hope the rest of show carries on the same way. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| PHANORA IS A BAD BITCH - A WITCH! her being a necromancer was already cool but revealing herself to be a witch with her Dark Souls gang, it just catapulted her charisma. i knew a slit to the throat won't kill someone who's a key character and him being undead, to boot. a bloody massacre of the dining hall enlivened an otherwise desolate and foreboding mansion, yet it reeked of death all the same. the emotional impact was summarized into a split-second torment of Jeff witnessing the decapitation of his fiance's corpse. beyond that, dude recovered and casually waited for her to awaken. i find the necromancer's motivation - actually, you know what? we are already 5 episodes in so let me address the elephant in the room - all the villains in this series sucks; couple it with anticlimactic revelations and motivations of crime. concealing his face for too long to brew suspense and not giving him a name, only for the grand reveal to be an anemic NPC-lookalike was a foul move. it'd be better if he looked like the mutilated version of what Johan did to him, but i supposed being subjected into a life time of enslavement by a witch and thrown off into the void isn't so bad of punishment. Phanora and Johan are a delightful pair hopefully the main duo catches up. |
