It looks like problems are taking Hajime and his group all over the place. Now they have to deal with a water pollution problem? Yikes.

Good to see Yue play an important role this episode and she even gets a kiss for it! Hajime himself of course had an important role too with his skills. Tbh, this episode felt entertaining as it managed to showcase the main leads as well as capturing the thrills of their adventure.

With Episode 2, Arifureta's sequel is already looking more promising in consistency than the abomination of the prequel being about speed.

The Dukedom of Ankaji is quite desolate, and Bize's request for Hajime to help the ailing city almost took much of Yue's powers to fill with pure water from a makeshift oasis. All it needs is some blood sucking and the usual kiss. Turns out the polluted water from the original oasis...had a monster infested in it, which Hajime and his gang helped clear out.

Welp, the romance problems aren't gonna go away as Tio failed to keep Myu in check, which revealed Yue's kiss with Hajime, which he narrowly dodged a bullet from Kaori.

The quest to go to the Grand Gruen Volcano to mine Stillstone, it's not easy when most have been harvested in this 3rd labyrinth of the Gods. And the lava bull monster that Shea tried her new powers on thankfully wasn't in CGI, which shows a vast improvement in the animation department. But the lava heat is just too hot, and some rest with a makeshift corner with the block of ice...too hot to undress some lols.

Though the CGI lava bachculum snakes surrounding the final destination of the island where the Liberators could be at, Hajime and gang produces some skill, but to last 100 snakes would take a lot of perseverance, and they had the talent to show it.

A death flag for Hajime...?

Yandere Kaori is the best. 👍

Riding a boat in lava flow was like an amusement park ride for Hajime. lol But, judging from what he had faced recently this boat riding could also be really called an amusement park ride for him.

Peak episode with Yue's sucky kiss. Well, Hajime accepted the Duke's request to aid them but seems like there's a troublesome road in front of him now. The girl fight was pretty fun but of course, Yue is the one and only winner. Welp, they're in a dangerous place now, the Volcano and the animation was pretty solid and usage of cgi was limited. This might be the end game for Hajime or he'll just pull a god card xD

I kinda fell bad for Kaori, she joins up Hajime's party only to be treated like a 5th wheel.

Oh, Hajime got hit by a white light, but then again, it's gonna take more than just such light to take him out, since he's the protagonist.

A very workman-like episode, and thus fairly dull. The CGI remains decent, but the characters are doing a lot of stiff standing around when they're in frame now. A budget-saving measure that is better than the horrific CGI of last season sure, but it still looks awkward and bad, especially in the lava area.

The haremites don't seem to have much personality beyond lusting after the Edgelord and catfighting. Why does that guy tolerate that crap anyways, didn't he swear devotion to the vampire loli midway through last season?

Good ending song. The dungeon was pretty impressive. Yue is so hot, still the best girl in lead always. There's no way Hajime died. What a cliffhanger

Ah yes Myuu had to run her mouth and bring some jealousy to the party, spicy! In all seriousness though, I already had a feeling Kaori was gonna be just that in the party and I wonder when she actually will be forceful towards Hajime. Yandere Kaori is great though.

The party be sweating a lot in the volcano. Key moment for some fanservice!

Quite the cliffhanger though.

I'm not very interested in harem anime so all the squabbling over Hajime is mundane to me. It would be kind of nice if Hajime actually struggled some times as well. Overall episode didn't seem very interesting to me.

Also kind of weird they're having the little mermaid join in on that. Definitely not something I enjoy seeing. Dude already has 4 girls following him around with sexual or romantic desires, we don't need to add children to the mix.

They really don't depict it well in the anime, at least so far, but he is shown to struggle throughout the series, at least from the light novel
As for Myu, yea they kinda just laugh that off as being a kid and such

From reading the LN (dw, no spoilers~), it was the same [ie dull] there too, so it ain't an adaptation thing. I mean, probably cos we've already seen some massive dungeon-crawls, and our party is pretty OP by this point so what is fodder even gonna do to them, lel. Truthfully that's my guess for why the author skimped on this dungeon so hard. I remember when I read it, it threw me through a loop cos I was expecting some epic siege of the Volcano to occur like the previous 2, but instead they made it to the centre in about the same amount of time as the anime. :x Shrug, nfi what the author was precisely thinking in changing up the formula here.

Why the stupid game music when something "exciting" happens? Annoying.
Also Kaori, jealousy is a bitch. Hajime should just say f u to her but no.

I may become the butterfly that spreads its colossal wings and flies the open skies!

i think it's fair to give credit to the pacing and direction of the show. backgrounds are good, and the drama isn't as WTF contrived (YET...) but i would not bet my life that this pacing will hold out in the long run and the rating will again drop

The conquest of the labyrinth within the Gruen volcano sure is taking a while, and to top it off, it's driving the gang cuckoo.

How is anyone supposed to clear the labyrinth if they don't have magic to float in the air? Seems rather unfair to me, lol.

I'm surprised the show didn't resort to the characters fully stripping during the ice-room break. Take the piss outta fan service if they did that, hehe.

I can see it now, every ep with the gang altogether being a competition, mainly romantically, bleh. Yue has gotten a dose of energy now due to Kaori's arrival. I'm unsure if that's a good thing or not.

I'd be afraid to drink from any water source after seeing that purple slime creature. Fucking pollution is ruining the waterhole.
