tbh I'm always super hyped for Saturdays when new episodes come out and watch them almost immediately. I think this episode provided good insight into some of the deeper aspects of the show's core theme via each character's actions and wholehearted defensiveness of Katarina such as the boy's showiness and one-upping in order to gain her praise. It was especially interesting how they played out Katarina's own actions by making her be the one to actually complete the exam.

Looking at it from a symbolic perspective, I enjoy the interpretation that, through her friends' (harem's) protection and devotion, Katarina is the main reason for the group's ability to move forward as both individual people and a collective unit. By allowing them all to pass, she also allows each individual to continue on a path that is turning out to be //much// happier than their previous path in the original otome.

The backstory was sad, couldn't hold back those feels.

So Sophia is Katarina's friends reincarnated. That's cool.

I have a bad feeling about the shadow thing behind Katarina.

It's so great to know about Catarina's friend of the last life being Sophia, really softens my heart. I have the feeling the shadow thing will be part of what will make Catarina turn evil, which might make the game foreshadowing real

The shadow is someone using "Dark magic" only Maria can see it as she's a "Light magic" user...

Katarina's now got all the key players apart from "The president" in her harem and hasn't even realised it as she's so dense and is 100% absorbed avoiding the "Doom flags" to the point she's stolen the romance triggers for all the key players and used them herself...

At this pace it looks like they'll adapt up to graduation by Ep.12. Which means some of the original bad/doom/death endings should start occurring so it should get more interesting from now on.

Having read the source material I'm looking forward to the next two episodes...

That's not uncommon, a lot of Isekai tends to do this too.

Where Protags don't remember their past life until something big happens (shock, near death or through dreams)

That's why a lot of Isekai tends to have ppls start from the middle of their childhood/ teen life.

In fact, Bakarina didn't get her memory until she got hit in the head and had dream about her past life.

I was starting to connect that her friend reincarnated as Sophia but I didn't expect it to get revealed so quickly. I wonder if she lived a long life or died shortly after Katarina did.

Wonder who that shadow is though. Maybe it's the girls who are jealous of Katarina? Are they trying to curse/kill her?

Uh, now I understad. I have watched several isekais but with the MC teleports to the new world. Like reZero for example. It the first time I encounter an Isekai like this one.

they definitely cranked the wholesome meter this time around. We are getting a lot of hints that Sophia in her past life also knew Katarina in her past life and both of them had close relations with each other. I'm interested to see what happened to Sophia though? Did she die soon after? Or did she die from natural causes?
Omfg this anime pulls the wackiest shit but for some reason it makes me laugh every time. Suddenly separated from your group in a labyrinth made by an ancient mage that installed thousands of traps. Whats your first course of action? Observe your surroundings? Find a way out? Call for help? Cry? No, for Katarina it's "immediately look for a source of food that looks the most edible and stock up an armies worth to keep you alive" i swear who ever comes up with this shit, give them a medal. PLEASE.
also why does it seem like all of females in the group are more thirsty for Katarina then the men xD
"If Lady Catarina offers me food, I'll eat it even if it means death!" this. this is a mood.

what an interesting beginning to the episode. I though that Atsuko was somehow also teleported into the otome game but as Sophia. alas it was only a dream.

But the rest of the episiode was quite entertaining with the whole dungeon crawler scene. but it was typical of Catarina to be able to trigger EVERY trap to come to. But on the other hand, it was typical that she found the item they need.

This is the first episode that i don't like. The dungeon part felt weak and boring.

The drama with Sophia and Katarina's past life was going so well... honestly I was expecting their reunion to be a bit more dramatic at the end.

Also, Sophia's eyes are really beautiful.

Oh, man, finally they revealed the past life of Katarina. It surely a sad one, like some certain show in the past, that revelations might lead to the others route to Katarina. Acchan identity was Sophia? Damn, its unexpected, but its served good. So, the whole situations about their relations just makes senses after all the time has passed. Great direction over there, to be honest. Unfortunately, Katarina herself might not knowing that shit already. So lets see how far Sophia could hide it from Katarina till the final momentary.

Ah the dungeon thing. Its about time something like that appeared in the middle of fantasy world of magic. And, yeah, ofc Katarina would do something hilarious. To be shocked that she now grew some hater over some people. Yeah, as a villain from a certain games, she might lead herself into the heroine without she realise that shit. Lmao! That black mist people was somehow intrigueing. But its no surprised if that people might be some friend that Katarina's knew. Maybe the read hair guy? Idk. So lets see in the next episode....

Okay, I'm thinking about dropping this anime. It's got a few interesting points but everything is way too saccharine. I liked some elements of this episode (the real-world ramifications of being Isekai'd and the animation is great as usual) but there's so little that goes on. It's like the writers got a strong start and then forgot they had a season to write.

Seeing Acchan’s POV was so sad.....that was definitely very emotional. I’m glad they got another chance to be friends again. How bittersweet!

By the way.. How old was Katarina, when she died in the previous life.. By the thoughts of her manga friend.. We can guess that maybe she was in school, at the age we see her friend?.. What happened?.. It must have been a hit for her family and friends.. Sad..
Oh.. So car accident..
Hm.. And again we see Sophia.. She had a feeling she shopped with Katarina before in the last episode.. So is she the same girl from previous world?..
Hm.. Katarina is disliked by some girls around lately more, it feels.. I fear if she'll actually become target of attacks, like Maria was before..
Hm.. So what black subtance it was appearing behind Katarina from times to times?.. She didn't get cursed or something?.. Well, it really could be anything..

That backstory was pretty depressing, although it was intriguing to see what happens back home after someone gets isekai'd via death. It's not something we get everyday

I don't know if this makes Sophia more or less eligible to be the one to capture Katarina's heart. Who am I kidding, they'll all die of old age before Katarina realizes their feelings.

Sophia's dream sequence at the beginning begins to make me believe the character is related to Catarina's friend in the past life. Very interesting...

The group must compete in a test of the skills by entering a maze. They are tasked to find what makes the Magic Maze tick within. The students are separated into different groups and it's quite cool to see how each member is able to utilize the their magic. Catarina's clumsiness sets off all sorts of shenanigans...

Maria notices a dark appearance around Catarina. Is she able to see it because of her abilities in light magic? Very intriguing episode, and great as well.

With how much she wants to avoid triggering the doom flags, Bakarina sure likes to activate every darn trap. Also bittersweet knowing Sophia has Atsuko's memories.

so sophia is mc's friend from the previous life, would be cool if she realized it in some form, maybe not fully but like she would know that they were good friends. that flashback/dream was actually really sad.
mary is a yandere, manipulating her fiancee to stay away from mc:D
