Dang, these adventurers should be careful at what they step on.
Tough break.

Well at least Lyria is with Katalina so she should feel safe. New girl got split up with Gran and Rackam which makes them an unusual trio. Feels like Io is still a bit childish when compared to the others though. She and Rackam argue like children

I got a classic feel of adventure from this episode tbh after seeing some of the action scenes. Quite a lot of treasures discovered this episode too.

Great filler episode! Katalina and Lyria are showing more of their true personality (like in Grand Blues! comic strip), and we got to see a bit of Gran's past not shown in the game. Getting to see Karva (the cow girl) and Mary animated was also nice.

A comedy duo appeared which was a nice change.
It seems the team managed to get a sword because of the comedy duo tho and some new friends.
Io also learned some better magic control which is also a good thing.

The two new girls are quite the duo. Everyone did well fighting against the thing that was guarding the treasure. It got turned to dust, but at least Gran has a new sword.

I'm totally in love with this episode.

They actually made an episode that was reminiscent of side quests in FF's. Comedy was amazing in this, i laughed way too much.

Rackam and Io's little disputes can stay please, great fun to see those two.

Gran finding a better sword for himself as a reward for a side quest, FUCK YES!

The characters all grew on me in this episode by a good bit <3

Pretty eventful episode.

Nice adventuring in the bobby trapped ruins complete with a boss monster and sword drop along with the saltiness of not getting the other drops. xDD

Liked the 2 new girls.

It is such a different episode compares to the previous eps. It was supposed to be a "side quest" episode, but I really enjoyed it. Felt like 20 minutes just slipped away.

The comedy part made the characters become far more interesting. Just like episode 2, it's not the main quest story of the game, it's probably an original story for tv anime. This allowed the writer to do their best.

I hope them also did this to the main story, it would be a nice approach when you have to tell a predictable story.

Also didn't expect Mary and Karva these two R characters got animated. <3

There is no relevance to the main story, but Karva and Mary, they are so nice that they deserve a compares into the series. Fun, but useful to consolidate interpersonal relationships among the protagonists and beyond.

Well, well....

I didn't expect that they would have some kind of filler episodes. Have to say I'm pleasantly surprised to see Mary and Karva. Perhaps


Enjoyed this episode, the action and the comedy are good to watch.

This episode was better than the last tbh. It was enjoyable adventure. Got a bit of a interaction which was nice. Rackam is my favorite character of the bunch. I like his voice and personality. lax and rather blunt. He don't seem to just up to help off the bat as the others and seem more skeptical. Not to say he is extremely like that but he seems a bit more realistic.

A good example is how he suspected the loli is trying to get them to accept the job by having them stay for awhile. The others just agree but Rackam actually thought about it a little more.
I was rather happy to see Gran was with Rackam, felt like Rackam was most reliable.
Lyria being with Katalina as always, which is nice since she is good at protecting her :P
And 'brat' also shows her usefulness, as expected of a mage.
Also dat dunk.

Pretty fun episode
It's interesting to see how the party would do when they are spit up though plus the insight into Grans childhood and personality was interesting. Mary and Karva were pretty interesting characters though and it will be nice to see them again. The fight against that sand guardian was pretty well done.

Hmm quite the trap there lol
A primitive trap like a spike trap still is pretty deadly even in this world lol. Lol i don't think being cautious actually went through their minds when they decided to explore the ruins. Lol a trap specialist that ended up tripping them all lol. I think the guy is secretly enjoying putting that girl in dangerous situations lol. Well the trader has been pretty useful to them since they met her so giving her a ride thats on their way is a no brainier. Lol Io's fiery personality is already clashing with Rackam eh. Lol Siero loves giving them new jobs though lol. Crafty though in getting them to explore the ruins for her while she gets them the gear that they need though. So a expedition into the ruins they go lol. Lol seems that Gran isn't very good at reading maps though. At least they managed to get there successfully though. Well considering the fact that no one has been inside the ruins yet Katalina's caution is as expected but as Rackam said there's no point in not going in to explore since they are already here. Still its interesting that Io agree's with him though these two still don't on with each other. I do like the little banter that goes on between them though. Yep it was right to be cautious as there were collapsing floors ahead of them. Lol lucky for Io that Rackam landed before her lol.

Hmm thats a lot of passages that lead to the room that Gran, Io and Rackam fell into though. Though it seems that Lyria and Katalina didn't. Hmm it seems that these ruins have more than traps here then. Hmm Lyria and Gran have a connection that allows them to find where each other is eh. Well Gran did get some of Lyria's powers when she brought him back to life though so i suppose its a result of that. Io's reaction to this though lol. Hmm Io's wind wall spell was sure timely but man that tidal wave was pretty unexpected. Just goes to tell how powerful Io really is as a mage. Meanwhile Lyria and Katalina and Vyrn encounter the other trap a spike wall no less. Man these ruins are full of traps eh. Well both are looking for each other so they will be moving all over the place. Gran is the type of person that just loves to help others even when they didn't need help. He's that kindhearted i guess. Still you can say that Vyrn and Gran are childhood friends since they have been together since they were little. Hmm and it seems that Katalina is now even more suspicious of Grans father as there's no way he can get to his current location without having someone backing him up. Hmm being serious one moment and then thinking something else the next Katalina sure changes pretty fast lol. It feels like Io is trying to show off in front of Gran though lol only to be derailed by Rackam once again. Lol the argument that Io and Rackam got into though. In a way this episode looks at not just the bond between Gran and Vyrn but also with Gran and Lyria as well since they been together for some time now. Hmm so it seems that the two explorers from before have encountered an enemy. The trap specialist seems to be the one that doesn't treat things seriously but still figure out when things may be too much which contrasts with the girl who seems to be serious all round. Hmm Marie seems to be entirely motivated by the treasure it seems. Still a timely save from Gran there but man that was a bit reckless. Good thing Io knows healing magic. Lol Rackam keeps getting called old.

Hmm a sand guardian that has pretty good maneuverability eh. Well it makes sense that it will only target anyone thats by the door it is guarding it after all. Hmm using Gran and the others to distract it while Io drowns it in water eh. Water should work in sand though. Hmm great teamwork there between Gran's team and Mary and Karva actually. Lol Lyria and Katalina and Vyrn finally managed to find their way to them. Hmm wow thats a lot of treasure there and its well worth that boss fight there. Hmm wow so that sword was the catalyst that turned all that sand into gold eh. To think that the ruins also vanished as well. Was that caused by the swords power as well i wonder. Too bad for Mary and her partner though. Despite their arguments Mary and her partner are really good friends lol.

I can't be the only one who recognized all the Indiana Jones references throughout the episode right? The beginning scene, the cut to the mountain, etc. I loved it.

Mary and whatsherface seem fun, I'd like to see more of them. Mary's design is especially nice.

The Gran dunk was the cherry on top.

Fun episode.

I was amused to see so many scenes and sequences which were direct copies from "Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Arc".

Lyria's hair moving was cracking me up.

I like how Rackam just give up when the water rushes towards them and just says, "Not good."

Gran's DUNK omfg.

This was probably one of the best episodes since the first two.

Hee what a disappointing dungeon
Is it in the game the same? A dungeon with many traps and some weird boss- then the only treasure is a sword and you can't ever enter again? I hate those places in jrpgs

The couple there kinda confused me. In the beginning it seemed like they were just buddies that kinda knew each other and just took the same exploration quest, but in the end they were like super best friends.

Oh well'! It was immediately noticed from the beginning that the episode had a comic look and the narration, until the end, did not deny this sensation it had from the beginning; however in the end it was not useless the episode, which gives one more characterization to all the characters. The backgrounds are very beautiful in quality, the quality of the drawings is just enough at certain times, what a pity!
