Having fear of death isn't really something to be surprised about by this point in the show. Still, this anime had an eerie feeling with the news of a witch among the villages.

Poor Holt as she got wrapped in a trap. Maybe she should've dealt with problems together with the party.

The last scene of the next episode preview though, I always wondering why kissing is a popular method for mana transfer in fantasy fiction, and why the situation always lead to heterosexual kiss.

Since I know that that big white hunk tiger is a protagonist in another anime, I already get a feeling that he's not a bad person, because bad person can't be a protagonist.

The witch is indeed the infamous Black-Mud Witch Zero herself, though Sayb and the students of the Academy being rejects to her regime sounds plausible enough, even more to the witch village in which both Zero and Youhei made it their home.

Hwoever, Loux wanting to kill Zero while the others are there just to complete their field program research, it puts them on a stalemate. Especially when the mute Sayb is just following orders only to rile Hort into disagreement, only for Hort herself to land into Dia Ignis's trap. Of couse, Loux knows it well for this to be a suicide challenge to face teh Father with Sayb, while Kudo ran away from them, only to be intercepted by Youhei.

Zero is finally here, and what really awaits her inclusion in this spin-off, I'm anticipating the corner.

And yeah...if I remember correctly, most characters run away when problems surface in this series.

I had some expectations about this episode, which ended letting me down, and most of the episode was so slow, just to something interesting to happen at the 45 min of the second half.

With all respect Hort need those backpacks with leash that some kids have, that girl have abysmal luck stat.

Now Roux have no reason to be angry at Albus now. She got what she wanted.

Because it’s hot and fan service. Pretty simple. Most people watching are guys who wanna see hot girls make out with the self insert mc.

Probably my fave episode far, surely dude was bluffing, like no way Hort is actually dead right?? Right??? Haven’t seen the original series so last scene didn’t hit me that hard, but the preview next week looks wild. Looks like we’re getting ye old mana transfer fanservice kiss. Can’t wait

I'd recommend you watch grimoire of zero, this is a spin off of it, and it has a lot of characters in it from there, and it explains the magic / world better.

Watching this makes me wanna watch Grimoire of Zero all over again
but I would be forced to read the LN which isn't an option... because of many circumstances...

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

The original was made by Studio Whitefox and is much higher production value. Its a good show too. I think it is a worthwhile watch. Admittedly last time I saw it was 2017.

I liked it because the episode shows the Saibyl group talking to a priest and they discover that the academy sent them to this city because they are disposable but Loux appears and suspects this priest but doesn't kill him and that was a mistake because later he would take her and Saibyl to meet the witch

Well, I bet my interest in the show was just as much as how the dress covers the front of the loli. 4.5/10.

Man, the awful animation continues to do this show no favors whatsoever. Nor does its construction. You put everything at the end of the episode, and then immediately follow it up with a next episode preview that goes "Yeah, uh, all this stuff? It ain't going anywhere and next week is mainly back to flashbacks, but there's totally gonna be kissing!" Is that really what the audience was clamoring for? I suppose possibly. Gotta get the Louise character into the harem as well as Boobs McGee and the Lizard, which is a great band name, please don't steal. Good thing we skipped the ED so we could stand around the village for another ten minutes remarking on how mysterious and sinister abandoned buildings are.

Anyway, most of the episode was spent piffling around how the village has a resident evil witch doing… uh, something. It's evil though, trust us. And the sinister priest is sinister. Good ol' Seyville continues to be suicidal, which makes Tits Antlerhead sad, but he'll do his best for his friends, because he likes friends. We're not quite living up to the 'high' water mark of a show like Seven Knights here, and I'm pretty sure White Bread is not going to come out as a shapeshifting monster unconvincingly trying to ape humans. SKR still focused on the other characters and stories about them though, while this only has a hojillion obviously sinister people who are also pretty clearly phoning in the evil with their fanservice proclivities and inability to live up to the mangling and dismemberment we've already had, even before the awful animation and next episode preview ruin the whole act.

Well, this episode is also a good episode, but I'm really curious on what will happen in the future... So, I'm kinda excited on what can happen soon at the next episode and I hope they will be okay... So, I guess, I'm looking forward to the next episode.

Hmmm.... so we got Zero in here now... interesting....

Tho... I wonder if they gone evil or it's all just an act.

BTW, for one of the "strongest staff"... it sure is easy to be countered... many times by a simple sheet of cloth, LOL

(Loli really need to learn some sort of "Return" spell (like Thor's hammer) or the "Force" to call back the staff...

Picturesque but eerie village.
blind priest how sus r u? Lilly also a mystery.
Interesting decisions for each student, feels like an exam.
How dense is Sayb? very, enough to make Hort cry.

Zero all grown. At least she made her appearance, things should become a bit more interesting from now on.

I really liked this episode, I feel like the show has turned it around from the pretty poorly executed episodes before this. It was more slow paced, but the characters actually got to interact among themselves in a good way. They were also trying to solve problems and challenges themselves, and figure things out. I'm also actually starting to really like Loux, who I found very annoy to begin with. She's really is trying to mentor the three students and solve things instead of just having selfish tantrums like she was in the first episode.

I hope this continues to be good, and the problems with the previous episodes of poor execution were just the show finding it's footing. This episode got me more interested in the four new characters, it's not the Mercenary nor Zero showing up that's got me excited. The Mercenary's personality has seemed to be way off so far, likely he's "playing the villain". But it's definitely him, he got a little upset being called an "old timer" by the Lizard man.
