THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This show has so many different ED theme songs. But jokes aside, it's a nice touch to see all the characters together at this party.

Quite a bit adapted this week too with the amount of chapters.

So, before diving into this episode, has anyone else noticed a miiiiiiinor change in the OP? Beginning from ep.6, when Nikaido cuts parsley, her left hand moves away from the knife! Until then it has been staying on the same place and I've always thought that it's actually dangerous, so I'm glad the studio provided Nikaido with safety:)

Finally, the legendary Blue Night. I saw on Dorohedoro Twitter that they put FIVE chapters in there and it surprisingly worked well)

Getting more hints about Risu and Caiman, nice. THICC boy Aikawa was here for 3.37 seconds and I already miss him. The mystery continues!
We also met some new characters - Tanba, Fukuyama and Kirion. I love this bunch so much, very protective of each other. But I have a feeling I forgot someone from this ep... (manga readers will get it)

En promising to kill anyone who dares to partner with Kikurage, this pink little fukker getting her own mushroom bed... I love seeing bad guys getting cozy dozy with their pets:c
I ABSOLUTELY adore En's pink costume and Chota's angel wings. Shin is a boring nerdy as always while Noi just rocks in her punky clothes. Fujita actually becomes part of En's family and can attend the Blue Night freely, my feels are overflowing. Ebisu...uhh, well she's Ebisu.
The guys who shot at Noi are bastards and we'll see them again. In manga Noi's injuries looked really severe(
The blue bugs are mesmerizing, and En's Blue Night park is fun to look at. Well shown in new ED!

Someone said in the previous episode review that starting from now, the story will have even more sad, somber moments and I can confirm that. But it's gonna be crazier too, so everyone will be satisfied for sure.

PS Caiman, you're a huge 216 cm guy...you can't hide behind a plate...

This Blue Night arc looks like it's going to be fun and entertaining to watch. Hell, the whole show is like that anyway lol.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

This Blue Night is gonna be fun ! I hope Caiman will end up with Nikaidou somehow

and finally we got a new ending ! it isn't super catchy like the last ones (or I guess it'll just grow on me (like mushrooms)) but I still like it

The ending song is groovy. LOL just how many endings have they prepared for a 12 episode anime? Not that I'm complaining. They're all great. (mushroom FPS is still my favourite tho)

Also, I'm sure Nikaido is the one En's looking for.

This anime is a 10 in my book. Love the rich world and characters.

So the sorcerers suddenly appeared in the world. And apparently the devil was defeated by 2 minor devils who paired up. Could that be the reason why sorcerers pair up?

Its refreshing how that history is casually mentioned in passing.

They're adapting this so well!! I'm in heaven seeing the rich colour palette that MAPPA pulled out for this arc. You can tell that the guys making this really love the manga and the art of Q Hayashida-sensei.

Having a different ED for each episode is such a luxury. Does anyone know which videogame this is homaging?

Good fucking LORD this episode was visual eyecandy! The Blue Night festival looks so ridiculously good, god damn this show has some of the most solid art direction I've seen in ages! I swear every week the show just gets better and better, and my god, that ED though! So fucking groovy, favorite one so far for sure! Lmao, I guess Mappa saw Beastars last season with its 3 EDs and thought "Hey, we can one-up that!"

This and Eizouken are best shows this season, hands down, I'm going to be so bored waiting for the next season of this because this has been such a good ride so far.

I am not one bit worried about out Noi... is what I would like to think but Shin's expression means something is up. What would the counter to healing magic be? Necromancy?

Very enjoyable episode overall with En and his crew crew enjoying their upper class sorcerer life. And Caiman is acting fairly reasonable for having attacked most sorcerers on sight on his last trip.

Welp, Caiman knowing about Nikaido's true nature...and decided to leave without her knowing to find the Cross-Eyed Risu alone. And settling in another shophouse, Caiman restarts his life.

The Blue Night...more than the celebration of sorcerers to find partners, it's one for En and his henchmen to not just look good, but to find more black smoke. Unfortunately, the "time" manipulating smoke that Nikaido has...could be the one that En is finding for.

Hah the difference of high-life upper-class and ordinary, average low-class sorcerers, that's what En and his henchmen are. But Ebisu boasting her "boobs" was funny though, and too bad she didn't get any partner applications (En's pet dog Kikurage is more popular than her though HEH).

In the end, Caiman's disguise is relegated to servant duty while Noi gets "black-smoked" for reasons? Most likely an assault though that has Shin worried much.

What a great episode, plus a new ED.

I think it's when En used his magic to turn everything into mushrooms. There was one giant mushroom on her back which required them to do surgery to remove it.

Another awesome episode. The humor, the quirkiness, the slight action and just seeing the characters. This is one of those series where I love the antagonists as much or even more than the protagonists. Ebisu's obsession with boing breasts is adorable and Noi just squeezing Ebisu's fake balloons lol

The blue night arc is one of my favorites!

My thoughts exactly. The protagonists and antagonists both have good and bad qualities. I cant really tell who the good guys are. Therye all somehow in between. Nikaido for instance killed a guy just for the money, albeit it was a sorcerer.

En is so attached to the dog. lol.

Caiman got a job. haha. But I wonder why he randomly decided to kill some of the collectors.

Oh god, it looks like Caiman might be Risu's old partner. This is interesting!!!

Poor En, no one let him finish his speech. hahaha.

I am absolutely in love with the magician who wanted to be angel-like.

I never could have assumed the shirtless manager was actually wearing clothes. haha. Why was he wearing a naked torso? This anime is so random!

I find it kinda weird/funny everyone who has mentioned Kikurage refers to it as a dog. It has the body of a small goat (complete with hooves) , fluffy rabbit like ears, horns and a freakish tongue. It's a creature of unknown original....what kind of dogs do you people interact with on a regular basis XD

Ok.....even considering what you're saying (which doesn't make sense) It clearly makes cat sounds and even acts like a cat in the way it moves and behaves (playing with the bug, being shy/timid/nonchalant) so why don't these weird "It has to be a dog or a cat " people call it a cat? I don't think these posters are very observant, and it's literally every one.

RIP Cacti. T^T

I'm surprised bossman wouldn't just make ALL the dishes mushroom-based. At least he's cool in that regard... unless they all have mushroom flavour. That would be, I mean, I don't mind mushrooms, but that'd be a bit much.

Woof, Noi, that outfit is a ten... as for Ebisu... probably just better to embrace the justice. Noi is just perfect for it with that strong build.

I'd definitely submit a form to be Kikurage's partner.

What struck me this episode is how En sees all those guys as his family. That's cute. Wonder if we're gonna get into more devil stuff next ep? That'd be cool.
"You know you've reached peak quality when a doujin is better than the actual source series." (Eg. To LOVE-Ru)

Just to list a couple of biases.
Likes: A good story, characters, writing, romance, a good plot twist or something that breaks expectations (In a good way), 'backstory' and justice.
Dislikes: Bad romance, too much fanservice, the harem genre, yuri, yaoi, and bad writing.
