| Another good episode! Not that much happened but it feels like an improvement of last weeks episode. Also I completely understand Naofumi of distrusting Melty at the end. After everything he’s been through so far it’s super logical to do that. Also spear-san felt like a comedy character this episode. It was quite funny to see him like that. I don’t mind if from now on he’s going to become some kind of comical side character that no one takes seriously and only has dumb moments |

| When you think the spear douchebag can't get any worse, turns out he's a pedophile as well. |

| Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Spear Hero lose again!!! He is defeated by Filo! Twice!!! |
| Spoil me if you must, but what did that young footmen wanted from Naofumi? He didn't seem hostile and it seems, that Naofumi overreacted. I guess, he wanted to inform him, that he is being summoned by the queen? Tasel said: When you think the spear douchebag can't get any worse, turns out he's also a pedophile. He is not a bad person. He is simply and utterly gullible and dumb white knight. Once he will exhaust his use for Malty, it will cost him. |

Episode 9 in a nutshell |
| While I didn't hate it (though the church and Spear Hero/Malty segments REALLY call for it), the biggest issue of the episode was the characters going all "we will miss her" after another short montage of stills and short sequences pretending to form a close relationship among them and with the audience. No, I'm not going to miss Melty, try at least to make her memorable for Christ's sake. It's been a constant for this show but god damn the disconnect between the emotional discourse and my emotional reaction. |
| @blacklatias this guy is just a dick really, we only saw the queens's spy for 2 seconds, he doesnt have anything to back his dumb arguments up. from meltys perspective she needed naofumis help, that's a fact, he doesnt even comprehend a show he loves. this whole episode was about naofumi's and melty's meeting and both needed each others help at the end of the episode, but for some reason his arguments are "melty didnt need to meet him she didnt need his help" like how can anyone understand what he's trying to say |
| poop |
| Best part of the episode was how cute Raphtalia's "hai?" was when they thought Filo ate the girl :'D Another montage instead of actually spending more time on developing characters, how nice. Once again we have team rocket here to ruin the supposed villains that we should take seriously. This just seems so weird after the previous episodes (like the one with the duel). I can't say I didn't find Filo kicking him again amusing, but I hope they won't keep showing up only to be a laughing stock. Melty being the actual next in line for the throne instead of Malty is just so damn satisfying. I eagerly await the day when Malty dies or gets ridiculed or something. Naofumi telling Melty to fuck off is the reasonable course of action he would take, I liked that. Now, what matters is whether Melty really is a nice girl or the same type of manipulative asshole as her sister. Let's hope for the former. |

It's been a constant for this show but god damn the disconnect between the emotional discourse and my emotional reaction. Yes, this has been a theme of the show. Cram "characterization" into one episode or less and then try to use that to leverage the next plot point. Once again, it's like the author and/or director doesn't know how to actually write deep characters that the viewer will care about; so instead they just go through the motions, tell us what we are *supposed* to think, and move on to the next thing. In fact I thought there were some parts of the first half of the episode with potential, but rushing into the last third mostly quashed that. |
"ii kanji!" ~ Motoyasu, maybe. |
| So they run into a lost girl, called Melty surrouned by other Filolial. After all Naofumi has been through, it comes to no surprise that after Melty introduced herself as the second Princess of the royal family, that he doesn't trust her. Can't blame the guy, but I am hoping he will hear her out next week and trust her. Also, that Spear Hero.... man he's so pathetic! Also that second kick to the balls was better than the first, he had it coming! |
 |
| Been waiting for melty to come in for a while, didn’t think she had purple hair though lol |
| Nice episode. We finally got the Melty intro, pretty much unequivocally the superior princess. XD Really liked watching Filo and her become friends. The part at the camp with Raphtalia wagging her tail as she sat next to Naofumi was so adorable. <3 Also love both of their reactions to thinking Filo ate Melty. xD We got to see the Pope too, though for some reason I remember it as Naofumi being stopped at the entrance to the church but I guess I'm just misremembering the fine details. Motoyasu realizing that he both loves and hates Filo. XD Those kicks are always so satisfying. xD |

Huex3 said: right,it's not like naofumi even remember he is the guard from episode 3,not like us anime watchers who could just rewatch all the episodes,if he wasn't in the capital city(where almost all people hate him),he is not going to run away from this weak ladyboy guard but probably will fight him instead,he knows he can't freely making trouble in a place like that,he'll get destroyedDaniel_Naumov said: Yes, it is finally apparent. If we are honest, the writing is actually bad. Not that it is bad as in story is bad, but the author did not care much to make the story logically believable. He just made an interesting story without caring for... the quality? The princess slipped away from royal guards. Met exactly one person she needed to. Naofumi started running right away the second guard (some ladyboy with a sweet voice, so threatening!) shouted his name. This is not a first tier art, and hopefully the author, after re-living his own story through the animated series, reflects upon that and grows up as a writer. Well Melty is bird crazy so it's not really that ridiculous. Naofumi considers Melromarc as his enemy so why wouldn't he run away when there's a guard who seems to be running after him? |
| Rip, shield hero rejects melty... though I do get where he is coming from due to the fact their family shafted him big time. |
salbery755 said: Melty is presented in this episode and if I am sincere I really liked her appearance, I loved her friendship with Firo, both look so lovely together. Naofumi still worried about the condition of Raphtalia, so he decides to go to the capital, but then Melty asks them to let her travel with them, at first Naofumi was not sure, but Raphtalia and Firo end up convincing him. It made me suspect that Shadow was spying on Naofumi's group, will that shadow be the escort that Melty mentions? I loved the sequence in which we see the trip of the group together with their new companion, it gave a very cheerful atmosphere, and Firo Pouting face is so fuckin cute. I laughed a lot when Naofumi and Raphtalia thought that Firo ate Melty, I still laughed at how Naofumi keeps thinking that way, hiding the evidence, nothing happened here. It must be extremely pleasant to sleep in Firo's plumage, Raphtalia was trapped by the softness of Firo's feathers. Naofumi and his group arrive in the capital where they say goodbye to Melty, while Naofumi and Raphtalia go to church and it was to be expected that they would also discriminate the shield hero. The highest authority appears before Naofumi and praises him for his duel with the dishonest spear hero, but Naofumi demands the sacred water, although the price is very high, but despite that he cares more about Raphtalia's health more than anything else. It still bothers me that the stupid nun tries to cheat Naofumi, but at least the pontiff, despite being untrustworthy, makes them deliver the quality product they deserved at first. What a way to make things worse, first a soldier in the capital chases them and then the clown with a spear makes his classic and stupid "show of the brainless puppet". The stupid Motoyasu believed that Firo was a new slave, and apparently he is a lolicon, but the fun was to see the new addition to his armor to protect his manhood. Motoyasu created a disaster with his attacks and to make matters worse, the filthy of Mal-bitch makes her appearance endorsing the fight of both heroes, but the party of the whore ends when Melty makes her appearance and stops everything. I have mixed feelings with Melty now that I know she is the younger sister of Mal-bitch, but on the other hand she made Motoyasu see how pathetic it was and always will be, he's not a hero, he's just Mal-bitch's toy. Mal-bitch was put in her place by her younger sister just to mention her mother, the queen is beginning to please me along with Melty, although I'm still with my doubts about both. Firo gives the final kick and destroys again the dignity of the pathetic Motoyasu, I hope he learns not to make fun of the fluffy Firo. Melty wants to talk to Naofumi, but just by listening to the last name of the dirty family that made him go through the worst hardships, Naofumi makes it clear that he does not trust her and tells her to leave. It seems that Naofumi and his group will be in serious trouble in the next episode, I hope that Melty is not involved, but I am sure that Mal-bitch will be the manipulator in charge of the disaster. I want to give a simple spoiled specially the stupid , idiot , moron spear hero... He never quit unit he want to get what he want specially cute and beautiful ladies just like a Growth " sin of lust " of seven deadly sins... While Filo love spear hero punching bag or penalty kick specially his face full of handsome and turn into a ugly face until he will become useless hero just like Aqua of Konosuba... |

Huex3 said: It's not really random. The queen sent her to the capital to keep things under control. What does that have to do with her meeting them at random in the middle of the woods? If she was sent to the capital on urgent business she should have been in the capital, not faffing around with birds. Also, I have to point out that just because someone is the heir apparent doesn't necessarily mean they are second in authority of the government. The notion of politics in this show follows kid pretend-play logic. |
| Looks like the Spear hero wont be have any kids |
 |
| Can't really blame Naofumi for not trusting Melty now that he knows she's related to the royal family. I mean, c'mon, the King and her sister screwed him over countless times already, plus her sister's chosen hero's a complete baka that is putty in her hands that's why she chose him so she can easily manipulate Spear Hero. |
       |
| I understand Naofumi's reaction, but he's being unreasonable. And Raphtalia's still got the curse, so dude how long is it going to take you to douse her in the holy water you made such a big deal about? Focus, son! |
| The sword that takes life gives life |
| Raphtalia & Naofumi really looked like Melty & Filo's parents, it was refreshing to watch ! Even if I hope his refusal to listen to Melty (god, she seemed so sad when he turned her down) won't have bad consequences, mostly because of next episode's title... Nevertheless his reaction was logic, when we notice how bad he was treated by both the father & the daughter. But fortunately, Melty & her mother seem to be very different : can't wait to discover more about them ! |
 |
| A cute new loli appears. Ravioli ravioli time to lewd the princess loli. |
I know what I'm gonna name my chocobo next time |
| Andddddd another loli joins the party. With each episode this show devolves more into a generic harem isekai. Oh no, Edgelord Hero doesn’t trust Melty. You better not act like a edgelord towards her now. Who am I kidding? The pacing is annoying me. The constant montage sequence to try develop character interactions where they’re bonding isn’t working. It’s a shallow attempt to make me care about them. Another problem is the way it’s chopping scenes together e.g. Edgelord Hero & Raphtalia are waiting for Melty & Filo, the next they’re meeting the Pope. Spear hero is clearly lacking in brain cells because his level of stupidity is unrealistic. Like who the hell starts a fight in the middle of the city? and when they get called out for damaging the place he gets all pissy about being a hero. Myne is just a spiteful, unlikeable, basic bitch. Together they’re so comically evil, i can’t take discount team rocket seriously. |

Huex3 said: Where did the anime say that Melty is the second in authority in the government? Being heir apparent does make her authority higher than her older sister. Also this country is an absolute monarchy so the royal family are the highest authority in government. Please read up a little before you make comments about politics, your ignorance is showing. You said she's been sent by the queen to "get things under control". Why is that her responsibility? Doesn't the queen have a cabinet of advisors, a regent/viceroy? For that matter, why does anyone need to "get things under control"? It's not like established protocols just break down when the monarch isn't around to babysit. I'll also point out that being a member of a royal family doesn't necessarily grant any political authority. You clearly haven't heard the term "King/Queen Consort" before. |
| Naofumi deserves most of the bad luck he encounters, he’s pretty dense and because he was basically a neet he doesn’t have much interpersonal sense. |

| at this point im just waiting for the mom queen to show up and finally take care of the garbage....and judging by next week's episode title, things look like its already gonna push everybody's angry buttons Spear Dick's pedo ass should get a You Deserve It chant going |
| Hopefully things start picking up next episode cause so far it's kinda boring .

They need to do something to establish the spear hero as a more of a threat because right now hes a joke I literally posted a few seconds after you. Pretty much how i feel about them right now . |
nerojeko said: Except more than just that one scene took place in the first half of the episode. Demyx_IX said: I didn't say anything about that, and actually found it to be rather dumb. I don't even remember her being naked in the LN, if she was, I must have skimmed over that detail. I'm trying to have a civilized conversation with you, have a nice day. "I didn't say anything about that," excuse me, that happened in the FIRST HALF, which was the core of our debate.

In fact I thought there were some parts of the first half of the episode with potential, but rushing into the last third mostly quashed that. I would say it's 80% the director's fault and 20% the author's fault. Simply because of what's been botched and butchered from the story. Take episode 2 for instance, iirc you complained about skipped characterization/development between the two of them when episode 3 went out. Well all of that should have taken place in the content that was fast forwarded in the small montage of scenes in episode 2. There is a bit more development between the two of them before they go to the mine and end up taking on the two headed dog. And in episode 5, the montage/stills from that episode skimmed through one of the duller parts of the book where nothing of significance was done/achieved, just highlighting how rapidly developing/growing Filo was going through between hatching and the race with Motoyasu. And in this episode, once again there wasn't much going on so they added in the still shots/montage to take up time so they could end the episode at a decent spot instead of somewhere awkward. NoviSun said: Naofumi deserves most of the bad luck he encounters, he’s pretty dense and because he was basically a neet he doesn’t have much interpersonal sense. He wasn't 'basically a neet'.

| Playing with the Filolials for so long that she was separated from her guards....Didn't her guards watch over her or look for her or even wait for her? Something's not right... Raphtalia is wagging her tail again... WTF God damn it Melty! Sleeping in Filo's feathers! But they never once tried to hug Filo in Filolial form? FAT CHOCOBO FTW! "Naofumi is working you like a horse, isn't he?" "I like drawing the carriage!" LOL! Melty is first in line to the throne? Not Myne despite her being older? Melty wanted to ask Captain Japan of something, but he refused which honestly I am completely fine with. Melty stated that Myne was not first in line to the throne because she was a problem child. Thing is though, with a King like that, is she really a problem child? Second, since Melty is directly related to Myne, Captain Japan cannot take any risks of being betrayed again. Melty could be putting on that nice girl act just to stab him in the back. Well if Melty wants Captain Japan to listen, she is going to need to earn his trust somehow... |

| The shield was inside of the church instead of outside, right?? I feel like they didn't really touch on a fleeting scene. --- Also, there were many cute scenes with Filo and Melty alongside with Raph and Naofumi~ xD! I definitely enjoyed the part where they thought Filo ate Melty. It makes sense that Naofumi can't easily trust Melty after the shit Myne did to him. I'm excited to see what happens in the future now that Melty is introduced! Motoyasu is definitely just there for joke fodder and honestly a waste of screen space. You might as well have more savagery between Melty and Myne. |
Huex3 said: Does the term "Absolute Monarchy" mean nothing to you? oh my god you're trying too hard it's cringy. Where is it stated that this country is an "absolute monarchy"?
