| Tbh, I like Maple's progress alongside her party. They've acquired skills, tamed monsters, and that dungeon may be conquerable. Another overlooked character this episode/season is Kanade and she's getting more spotlight recently. Mii is also someone great to have on the team for her talents. I feel like their party may be among the best in their world now. Episode 7 delayed for two weeks but should be worth the wait. |
 |
| Yet another great episode. I loved the action scenes. Syrup playing with Maple's tentacles was hilarious. It's nice that Kanade is getting more screen time. That cave looked so awesome. I wish I could live in that house. It looks so cozy and lovely. :) Beautiful Phoenix. Well, see you in three weeks, Maple and the others. |

| Well the everyone has a pet now after some hard work getting them, well most of the where hard work and well worth it from the looks of them. The question is how will they perform during combat and how will they help out the guild, it will be fun to watch. Mii helping out was also nice of her she is getting close with Maple. |
| Another really cute episode and everyone now has a companion monster! Action scenes were decent but still didn’t care for the CGI that was blended.. anyway, another nice setup episode. Two week delay till next ep :/ |
 |
| Trust Maple to get something that wasn't even supposed to be a pet though. Kanade sure ended up finding quite the interesting monster though. The ingame digital notice board though was pretty neat. Mii's partner really complements her quite nicely. Trust Maple to come up with a move that makes use of her pet this quick though. Nice to see Iz, Kanade and Kuromu also get their pets as well. Necro though was an interesting one in that it provided combat assist to its owner in a way that's unique to it. |

| The monster taming still has aways to go for those that have yet to earn their companions. Kanade is in search for one Mirror Slime, which is strong enough on its own, and welcome, Sou. For Iz, it's an ability test to acquire materials to gain a monster companion, and both Maple and Mii join in for the ride to challenge themselves to grind much more to defeat the Lava Dragon for her to complete the quest and gain a spirit companion. And finally for Kuromu, the armoured monster Necro that powers up its user with armour...and nothing much more than just style and durability. Oh well, until the next event to show what they're capable of....2 weeks after. |
 |
| Lets follow in their footsteps and go and grind some dungeons until we meet again in march. |
 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. |
| Everyone in Maple Tree found their partners. All of them are quite unique and cool. Mii's phoenix is cool too. |
 |
| As with last week's episode, it nice to see the spotlight on the other members of the guild. Kanade's new tamed monster looks to be rather useful and cool. I like the grin he gave to his new buddy, who did the same in return. =D Iz's quest was my favourite of the episode, though. Thanks to Maple and Mii, Iz was able to gather items at the volcano while the other two battled the boss dragon. Her new companion looks cute, with the area where she met it looking rather pretty. Krom's quest was more on the time consuming side of things, but he didn't have any issues with the enemies at all. His monster is one that made Sally scared (Can't help but laugh everytime she's like this, thanks to episode 2!), but while his transformation didn't get the fanfare he expected, at least May and Yui loved it. =) Anyway, I look forward to the next episode when it drops after this upcoming 2 week delay. |
| maple tree got three new members |
 |
| Looks like our group all powered up and successfully got the new zone special items monster companions. We also got another Turtle blast which I love, although they cut his dialogue to just Tur.. Most disappointing, I would of liked a full Turtle.... |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Somehow Kuromu managed to become even sturdier than he already was. His pet companion may be my favorite one out of Maple's group. Two-week delay, here we go. |
| leave it to members of Maple Tree to find unique partners to tame lol |

| Maple's party is getting stronger by the episode, defo the team to watch out for in the next event. It is now Kanade, Iz and Kuromu's turn to get their monster buddy. Kanade is up first who whilst walking through town notices a apparent npc she has never noticed before. She then follows it and eventually finds out that it isn't an npc but instead a slime that is able to mimic items and people, as shown when it mimics a book and then later on mimics Kanade, the slime is also able to attack in Kanade's form using her spells. I can't wait to see how she implements this in the next event!! Next is Iz who accepts a mission to gather up various items in order to use the power of spirits. She then comes across Mii and Maple who were about to set out to gather xp, and enlists their help. We also meet Mii's tamed monster which is a phoenix named Ignis who looks pretty sick. Actually could not have found a better tamed monster to go along with Mii tbh. They first head out to a volcano where they eventually meet a lava dragon in where Maple uses her new tentacle ability (to Mii's shock) in help to taking the dragon down. After going to a few more locations she heads back to the blacksmith with all the materials and is taken to a place where she meets her new familiar, a small spirit named Fay!! Finally the last member Kuromu. He is off on a long quest when he finds a small cave on a cliffside. He enters and there are mainly zombies and some other flying monster but eventually finds the boss, kills it and goes to collect his reward which looked like to only be gold and jewels but he finds one of those rings and his familiar a spirit looking monster named Necro (much to Sally's horror lol) and his special ability is ''armoured'' which gives Kuromu extra armour given by his familiar, combining with his familiar. With everyone now having their own familiar, the next episode seems like where the event will take place and where we will see everyone's familiar in action. Unnnnnfortunately we will have to wait till March 8th for the episode which sucks but at least we have a schedule date. Seeya then!! |
 |
| Your usual Maple and her guild members going on cool adventures for their partners. It was nice. |
 |
| Next episode is three weeks later, also wonder how many levels they can beat in this season. |
 |
| Did Mii get a different VA in this episode? I went back to previous episodes and she definitely sounds different. |
| Congratulations, you caught a Ditto |

| Cool so now they all have their pets |
 |
| Everything's set for a great second half |

Maple herself didn't get a pet... she literally consumed her pet and took it's power, just like what she did to Hydra, and I am pretty sure we don't consider the Hydra skill Maple's pet. And the Twin's got bears that's from a recurring quest that anyone else can also get. Literally one of the most simple pet quest there, cause all you need is rescue the bears from the Tree. Only reason the Twins had problems is cause the Twins get one-shoted due to having 0 Defense, anyone else with a balanced stat can easily beat the Tree. The only ones that got unique pets is Kasumi, Sally and Kanade. Sally is a boss reward. Kasumi is a rare multi-level quest and Kanade is also a secret quest ___ ___ ___ LOL, even Mii goes "oh yea, you're part of Maple Tree huh" (basically saying "everyone in Maple Tree aren't normal" LOL) And Mii fights Fire with Fire... literally... LOL And looks like Maple CAN combine Machine God with Tentacles... but she doesn't use more guns, just using it as a grapple. ___ ___ ___ Also, while Kanade was thinking of zombie at the start of episode, it was Kuromu that ended up fighting Zombies, LOL. (and both thought about Sally's fear of zombie), and it was by accident that the cave chest contained a pet ring. Izu went with a material crafting quest to get a spirit pet. Hmmm... Kanade's pet is a slime... interesting, and it's copy power is on par with a certain slime from a certain Isekai series, LOL. |

Tho I was trying to just mention the level 7 obtain pets, I threw Sally in just cause it's unique, lol. And while others defeats bosses and obtain them as pets, Maple ate the pet like she did to the Hydra... (I actually wonder how the Octopus would be like as a pet, imagine a small Octopus sitting ontop of Turtle) ___ ___ ___ As for the bears growing stronger... I donno, they didn't mention anything about the Pets sharing or gaining stats from the Players. Otherwise imagine Maple's turtle have massive defense. But that isn't the case as we've seen how the turtle got easily tossed in an earlier episode fighting the Oni boss. |

Maybe the turtle and the octopus could've combined together and become a mega-pet or something; very boss-level pet for sure and typical of a Maple pet lol |

| Maple having fun with her tentacles, and the pets seem to enjoy them too... interested in how she will use them in the next event but first, the rest of the guild needs to find their own pets, and all of them have ideas on what to get, mostly support ones, like healers or stuff that help with crafting Kanade and her memory, imagine remembering every person and npc following an npc that she saw, she entered that house... and with her memory (wtf dude...) she noticed there was a new book in the bookcase... a mirror slime came out... seems like she found her new pet following him to a cave, she saw a ton of ore that could mirror her, but one of them was different than the rest oh no, the mirror slime can even copy people and their abilities? wow well time for a Kanade vs Kanade, let's see how it goes too many random skills and words were used, i'm not going to repeat all of that ... anyway the fight was over in like 20 seconds ... next, to befriend the slime, she needs to show off 50 (????) magic/skills in a row... WHAT THE HELL LOL done with the magic, she saw the status, stronger than expected... the name, Sou (similar to the wolf isekai), and it can copy around half the power of whatever it copies... i wonder what she will use it for... tricking people? Iz trying to find something interesting in the quest poster, and seems like she is interested in a spirit type monster that was discovered recently she went for the blacksmith person, and he gave her 3 items to make before the spirit would acknowledge her she met up with Maple and Mii and they went together to get the materials, Mii gave the excuse of watching for rival guild skills trying to travel to the volcano would take a long time, so Mii wants to show off her new partner, a phoenix named Ignis, very suitable for a fire specialist just like Syrup, Ignis also has the ability to go big, but it's probably a faster traveler than the slow turtle Mii was excited to show Maple her new pet, how cute lol inside the volcano, Iz started her gathering quest, while Mii continued to show off her linked flames with her partner not wanting to lose, Maple called Syrup, as well as hydra and her cannons... imagine being so focused on the gathering while there all those big explosions right behind you, geeeeez well there go all those monsters, the 2 girls probably got a lot of exp Iz also showing off her specially made potion that recovers mana and increases magic power, a true support player with her nice boosts Iz's last target, the lava boss, is here Mii's phoenix tried her attack but the boss is resistant to fire... next, Maple went and used her tentacles on the dragon's head, doing tons of damage and stopping his vision ... Mii was confused lol Iz was impressed but didn't find it very cute time to finish the job, Maple used her tentacles again to stop the dragon fire attack as well as hit his head again, while Iz used another magic potion on Mii, which paired with Mii's own boost... with all this increased magic attack points, she easily blasted the boss, dropping the item that Iz needed with everyone getting stronger, they will all need to come up with tactics to beat each other in the next guild battle that being said, would Iz beat this dragon alone? her quest was kinda hard lol next, all those other items... damn that's a lot... but with her friends help, it will not take too long Kurome tho, what a long quest, going through so many places... he found a cave, the monsters were quite weak, since he can easily recover any damage... he was worried about what pet he was going to receive, since a ghost would make Sally hate him he got to the boss room, but he easily bulldozed through them all, and with a strike to the boss, everything else disappeared, how boring in that room there was a chest with tons of jewels and ... a taming ring, which brought out a little flying armor, scary Iz went to the blacksmith and after giving the items, she was allowed to go and get a little spirit (Rotom from Pokemon? lols) ... the chosen name was Fae back at home, Kanade showed them her slime but didn't tell them about the skills Kurome showed his armored ghost, and as expected, Sally was scared... then the armor fused with Kurome, but he looks strange with all that lols look at everyone's face |

| Kanade got a slime monster. Kanade's VA is the same as Rimuru's. Rimuru is a slime. Coincidence? I THINK NOT! |
| Todos tienen compañeros. |
 |
| Interesting pet showcase this time around, although Iz's pet is kinda mundane compared to Kasumi's shape-shifting pet and Chrome's henshin armor pet |
| Maple's guild members are taming monsters one by one. Each one is getting a weird monster. Kuromu got an armored monster. |
 |
| A mostly Chitanda episode. Although, this show gets pretty boring without Maple and Sally in the scenes. I couldn't care less about any of these other characters. realwhitebear said: Everyone in Maple Tree seems to be getting weird monsters. Kuromu's monster can reinforce his armor and Kanade's monster can literally become a clone of him. Can't wait to see what they do with them in battle. Wait, Kanade is a twink trap? I thought "he" was a tomboy girl. The fact that "he" is voiced by the voice actress of Kuroko (from Railgun/Index), makes it even more confusing. She has one of the most recognizable voice, which is mostly typecast for weird lolis. |
| Maple and Mii fighting, using cool spells and attacks, Iz throws a few potions -job's done! ;D |
| So what's next now that they all have their pets? Another tournament or the next floor? We'll see next episode. |
| The mirror slime definitely seems like the strongest one, copying yourself and potentially others at half strength is huge especially for a support despite all the focus on everyone in the guild Maples and Miis secret chats stood out the most for me |
