As the party ventures deeper into the labyrinth, they reach an area where the icy walls gleam like mirrors, amplifying the mind games. Kouki is the first to fall prey to the labyrinth’s tricks, and soon, the tormenting hallucinations affect everyone.

Despite taking a brief rest, the strange phenomena persist, and their attacks, meant for the enemy, begin to turn against their allies.

I hate this hero, always spreading the idea of not killing, but when his emotions get out of control, he tries to kill the protagonist out of jealousy! 🤦‍♀️

So it's just a test to beat themselves / worst selves, Kouki is such a noob no wonder he handles it the worst.

Sucks episode 12 is now delayed until January 20th, 2025.
Kouki was pretty annoying this episode as always going crazy.
That scene around 13:50 was pretty cool with everyone unleashing their attacks.
The scene around 19:30 with Yue trying to ship off Kaori with Shizuku was hilarious.
Hajime was smart at the end faking giving in to draw out the voice.
This was the last ongoing anime episode for me this year for 2024! Ended off strong. Cheers to 2025 anime year!

Last ep of the year and for a while since ep 12 is delayed till the 20th! Happy new year everyone! We went out with a nice bang today. Loved the focus on Shizuku in this episode and hopefully she’ll finally start putting herself first, and her own desires before those of others. That flashback was pretty sad, I mean her whole life has just been her being a “yes woman” to everything everyone else wants. Stand up for yourself and go for Hajime!!

The last couple labyrinths have presented some cool challenges for the cast by having them confront their inner demons and insecurities. Nice opportunity here for some more growth from everyone, especially Kouki and Shizuku. Kouki in particular been neglected in this show so I’m looking forward to that!

Also lmaoo at Yue calling out Shizuku and Kaori for being gay af. At the very least they’re bi as hell for each other.

So, Shizuku really does have an innate desire to be a princess.

More walking past the same backgrounds, more trash party, more PTSD. Aren't labyrinths just the greatest?

The ice knights looked pretty good when they actually showed up. This time, the corner they cut was having the enemy off screen for most of the fight and just having the characters shoot into thin air. Speaking of shooting, these guys keep reflecting all of our projectile attacks (not MC's rockets though, because why would they), so let's keep using the same ones!

Nagumo's inner demons should have played along and confronted him over being cringe. That would have turned out hilarious, probably.

Next up is a cour check. Gotta see how this holds up against Winter's Monday titles.

EP 11

Last time its already the last labrynth
A bit late to say i think(?)
Tbh the other op for s1 and 2 maybe
Like because s3 has two op it feels like they put less effort into each of them?



Also Im not sure if its just me or the story is written this way it feels like they were saving the budget for some

EDIT: Seems like arifureta wont be back for awhile thats uhh something
Didnt they already skip one week previously or something
Maybe some timeslot thing?

This was well written episode, it mask sense they should attack their "rivals", but only thing is, why Shizuku attack Shea?

Anyways, I love this series.

I also like that Nagumo didn't doubt "Amanogawa", but was trusting that he was telling the truth.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

@CocoaGalaxy I didn't really understand your comment, but I liked the opening / ending theme music for this episode.

I usually always skip the OP & ED music, because it doesn't interest me, but this anime always good music.

Getting really sick of dungeons instead of actual plot. Starting to get flashbacks to when Reincarnated as a Slime had its conference table arc.

I enjoyed the rabbit rebellion, but other than that this season has been a significant downgrade from prior seasons.

This labyrinth is basically one of schizophrenia and jealousy. From Kouki, it was entirely expected—the guy is incredibly annoying, and it was obvious he’d succumb to his inner voice and attack Hajime. Kaori's situation was also predictable, but Yue's reactions during her attacks were absolutely hilarious.

However, I didn’t expect Shizuku to act out, let alone attack Shea. That caught me off guard. On the bright side, this might push her to be more honest with herself. She might even team up with Kaori to face off against the Yue-Shea duo in the battle for a spot in the harem!

@amf85 At Slime's they were just talking at the table, and here at least something is happening. Additionally, there are some plots of the other characters (which is at least for me) a plus

@Omega1Mastemon I wasn't making a direct comparison of content, I was comparing to another anime that was fun until it had a really weak season.

This song basically describes this episode in a nutshell

That being said, I like Shizuku's flashback exploring her about how she's caring for others. Also, the trial basically focus on mental attack having to fights while being distracted with their mental issues. And Hajime having to admit how much of a chunni he is. (Trust me dude, and it ain't just the looks) Overall, I enjoyed this episode.

I get to see more of Shizuku's past this episode!!! OwO

I really love that new ED 😭😭😭
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.

This season doesn’t seem too interesting. There were some good fights in this episode, but, overall, it’s unattractive.

Why is Kouki such a weakling? He can’t even handle the most basic attacks and is always the first to fall for tricks and succumb to the pressure. Everyone else gets hit, but they handle it well. It sucks that we now have a delay and have to wait until the 20th for episode 12. What a disaster. At least we have a lot of quality anime coming out to pass the time. End of rant.

A better question might be why are not many of the summoned students total wreck. They a teen age high school students ripped out of their life and home world and dumped in a violent chaotic world with monsters, demons, evil so called gods playing death game with them, treachery (with many of their leadership training, and support figures from the kingdom being wiped out and all them being stabbed {litteraly} in the back that episode), murder, undead/necromancy, and assorted other horrors. You might expect a fair portion of them sobbing and cowering in an asylum. And, Kouki is randomly assigned a leadership duty to boot. No pressure.

@LordCrueltyV considering we have one final arc that will end the entire main story after the lybrinth i dont think there is way for kouki to get stronger or better

Hearing your own voice saying things you don't want to say in your head is scary... also feels bad for Shizuku :S

Pretty good episode. That flashback was kinda sad. Poor Shizuku.
I'm really looking forward to episode 12.
First anime episode of the year for me. Here's to a great and blessed new year y'all! Bring it on!

The first half was a pain to watch, fucking Kouki being annoying as shit again. Doesn't matter what the fucking voice is saying you're in a dungeon ffs it's fucking with you.

Hajime just bluntly saying what his whispers were about and his cringe reaction to his edgelord reflection was amusing rofl.

The rest feels like it's just dragging at this point. Kouki continues to suck ya he's jealous blah blah blah and I'm starting to get tired of Shizuku's slow progress over going after what she wants.
