| Arc's 'ha ha ha' sounds so forced lol About time Ariane made a reappearance as she only got like a minute of screen time from the first episode. She didn't greet Arc lightly either but I guess that's part of her nature. Also, I also have to wonder if all slaves are being treated so poorly. Kinda sad to see. Arc did good work helping those elves and Ariane. |
 |
| I’ve only read the first book so this episode was what I had been looking towards the most. Really wanted to see maple animated and wasn’t disappointed at all. Immensely satisfied seeing the rapey slave trade get his face bashed in. |

| So the SFX in the OP will be a thing...honestly it drowns out an otherwise banger song by PelleK's vocals. Arc and Ponta are just "birds of a feather" flocked together to defeat villains, but stumbling upon a bandit's hideout with cages for captured elves is a different sight. And so we get more info from Episode 1's backdrop that the Luvierite elf Lauren and the basilisk beast/creature experiment, is all one heinous plan by the Lord of Diento Tryton commissioned by the Eastern Empire's Prince Dakares to triumph over the Western Empire's Prince Sekt. Kingdom politics back at it again... Arc chancing upon the dark elf warrior Ariane Glenys Maple whom recognizes Ponta has a ventu vulpis (or spirit creature) to instigate an attack of a misunderstanding, and her advice not for Arc to be involved in this matter, he just won't take it by plain sight while lazing and preparing for the next big work. True enough, Arc found gold with bandits capturing elves in the Elf Forest as slaves, and led by Tryton's son Udolan no less. Ariane may have less choice, but Arc being there was a godsend to save the young elves and restore their vitality and scars while understanding the world more, as such with the Whispering Fowl (just like a pigeon with a voice recorder). The travelling mercenary & companion plus the elf warrior, there's more saving to be done, and this is the start of a long journey. |

| Rapey scroundels who do nothing(wow a scratch from the sword, how terrible....)aside from grinning like edelords are just lame. At least let them do something. |

He a rapey but he not a lolicon. joking aside there, since this season might be heavy related to elf and the elf hunt there will be more down the road anyway. There will be nothing graphic, I can already tell you that. The warning at the beginning of every episode is a joke. |

“Damn─! The shameless humans!!! …Instead of submitting to you and enduring the humiliation for the rest of our lives, the people of the forest would rather die proudly!!!” Along with her yells, the tip of the sword rose back up. A more intense hatred and anger gleamed from her eyes. The pressure from the dark aura now surrounding her caused the approaching men to hesitate. This is how it was in LN. Why the hell did both manga and anime go for a "lady in distress" for a supposedly strong female character? This is just lame and makes both the character and the scene just stupid. |
| Wow again that clown act from those supposedly savages had me rolling, like it was just a setup for the skeleton guy to come in as a hero. |

I noticed it even more while watching the latest episode. I can see what you mean, particularly if someone wants to listen specifically to the opening song. I'm not familiar with Pellek, though I do think the song definitely fits. I like the way the sound effects are over the intro. It feels way more engaging and stands out from the crowd. It makes the opening itself/as a whole the experience where the song is part of it, as opposed to usual intros where the music and visuals are separate but in tandem. |
| To be honest I didn't liked that the fight against the elf hunters were kept too PG. I mean you guys are fighting slave traders, cut them in half and burn to crisp, like first episode. |

| I am surprised for the lack of blood in this episode. Compared to first episode things got tame really quickly. |
| Fun episode I wish there was more gore and brutality. |

  ❤ Incessant Rain ❤ “Can you let me have some fun this time?”  |
| These episodes keep going back and forth from wholesome to being all rapey... That being said somebody has to take care of the garbage and Arc is to the rescue yet again :). At least those poor elf girls no longer have to go through that terrible treatment again. |
  |
| Oh damn even Ponta is mocking us now :( |

Helltaker said: Same. Those slave traders got it easy compared to what most people would do to them given the opportunity.Fun episode I whish there was more gore and brutality. |

Well, though I don't like it I will notice, that rape and robbery were main things that thugs did, so I can understand why it is used so often. What I can't understand - why every single time thugs in anime are so stupid. Yes, even IRL they were mostly "unwashed masses", but they could at least know when to run and I bet they didn't stand like idiots grining menacingly. But oh well, that's a cheap low-effort plot for you. |

phantomfandom said: I agree but like its takes alot of time mentally to adjust to something like appearing suddenly in a completely different world.I still hate Arc's "wait-and-see approach" because some situations require immediate action, like a quick time event. This time he let a villain injure an elf. He's not a bad person but he still think of this as a game, not an actual new world. |
|
| Im enjoying this a lot more than i was expecting |
| Still having fun with this show, I really like Arc, he definitely carries the whole show for me with those laughs. Arc being a hero once again, and now with elves. |

| Fine episode, we finally meet main girl. Also, the warning were unnecessary in for episode. |

Also, the warning were unnecessary in for episode. The warning was totally necessary because it was heavily implied the bandits intended to rape Ariane Please note, I'm not suggesting these warnings are a good thing, I think they are a reflection of how we all have to bow down to the idiotic sensibilities of a vocal minority. But that segment of the audience is very vocal and if these warnings will get them to even slightly shut the fuck up then I'll take the warning over the never ending complaint threads. |

The warning was there too, what was funny about that was if you didn't slam your laptop closed right at that moment you were gonna get an eye full, but hey, you were warned. delightful trolling by the show's producers ;-) |

UC33 said: If the goal was to be as generic as possible like you said then i agree they nailed that perfectly.The bad guys were so generic that I found it kind of funny. If that's what the show wanted to do then good job. I did like the design of Ariane. |
|
| Great episode! Ponta's existence seemed to clear up the misunderstanding between Arc and Ariane. Pretty sure she's far from a 'dark elf' like the bandits called her lol. Ariane wants to hire Arc... Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| I was losing interest in this show, but Ariane's reintroduction onto the main plot made this episode the better one so far, (granted, that may not be saying much, we are only three episode in after all) and got me interested again. |
 |
| That elf is not bad in terms of waifu, but I feel like she would be better as a blonde. :b |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| "Armor Lariat!!!!!" I'm loving his naming sense! I mean,Ainz would have probably just crushed him slowly,also traumatizing the poor elf kiddies,but no,Arc takes it one further than that and uses the slave traders body to damage a sacred tree as well! Way to go Arc,Ainz has nothing on your evilness :) |

| even tho it is average, I find it interesting. Arc's journey with the dark elf is starting now and I can't drop it |
