Just so fast! Not sure I understand the reason. Would be hard to listen to

Ysley may not have the raw strength of Rin or Hayato but his intelligence and cunningness is downright scary.

I'm utterly disappointed with the lack of OPPAI in this episode. Fuck you, Mappa. FUCK YOU! Don't adapt a Cool-kyou Shinja work if you're afraid of naked bodies ffs.

Who needs action in a fighting show? So much for this episode being all fights. Or any fights. Or any action at all, really. But it did bring back the raped nun, and fetishized being raped too, so… yeah. Probably the best thing that one could say about the episode is that somebody on staff realized that the goddamned torrent of exposition was a bit much, and about half of it was done in 'comical' fast forward. Which still left another ten or so minutes of info dumping not in fast forward. It really didn't need to be this way either. I kind of hate that they just mad scientisted the baddies all onto their side. They could've unleashed one of the old demons somehow and thereby presented all the "we probably don't want to break the seal, have a common enemy, and the head baddie isn't what he claims" things in a way that wasn't a power point presentation split between three conference rooms and five minutes of monotone talking heads.

There's not a whole lot else to say about the episode. One antagonist was talked to death. One was unceremoiously beaten in one shot. One got to attack like twice and then they timeskipped, claimed it was a grueling afternoon battle, but he eventually lost. The rest of the episode was devoured by rape fetishism and infodumping, and even if I were to summarize every little bit of lore, it would be just

A.) Demon hybrids come from rape
B.) A couple demon hybrids are smart
C.) The head baddie is not really a demon. All through the glorious presentation style of talking heads. Joy.

I almost feel sorry for the poor mappa animators wasting their talents on these kinds of jobs

Wasting their talents ? Huh ? It's their job dude. They have a talent to animate, and they get paid for that. Why do they care about the story, their job is an "animator". Instead, I saw a lot off freelancers in this anime thanked Mappa on twitter for the opportunity they gave to them

RayReynolds said:


go tell that to the wonder egg animators who were overexploited to make an anime that ended up being forgotten by everyone and definitely an example of mismanagement in an studio of animation

Another banger episode but im not sure the logic always follows...

Yesly doesn't want to destroy Zoble because the other world powers (hoetana & another unnamed country) would likely duke it out for supremacy i guess that makes sense but I'm pretty sure yesly & prontea could force the unnamed power to surrender pretty much by themselves

Also the demons automatically believe the idaten are allied with humans to study demons which while true there isn't evidence to reach that conclusion much less zero onto one specific country especially when we know there is at least one other major world power.

Why did ysley go to hoetana under water if not to throw off Zoble/demons? If that was the purpose why did he believe the demons knew what country they were in to zero into prontea training hayato?
