| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Heh, I love how Melie and her friends go to this new town and enjoying themselves. However, Reina also got triggered by her dark memories again. I really hope she uses better judgement when facing off against a group of enemies though. If it wasn't for her friends, that would of ended badly for her. She needed that pep talk. |
 |
| That old guy is lucky. I'm happy for his granddaughter. Reina went off on her own again. Good thing her friends were there to support her. |
 |
| Really good episode, seems like this anime take a more dark/sad path instead of comedy. At least the ojiisan survived, that's nice. |
 |
| Those damn bandits are at it again except these were soldiers pretending to be bandits. Grandpa is lucky to be alive. |
 |
| Very good ep, this anime isn't just fun adventures in a non violent world That grandpa was very honest when he explained how he survived xD |
 |
| this episode was weak compared to the other ones. there were quite a few times where I had to press the right arrow (skip 5 sec). you really only get 3 things from this episode. 1. Reina really needed that wakeup call from her friends 2. the reveal about the bandits actually being soldiers 3. granddad himself. I dunno how much of it is original and how much of it is in the manga I'll be honest here, Mile was far more creative than me in dealing with the ambush situation. If I was Mile I was thinking of putting the 3 to sleep and slaughter everyone there. the spike spell was very similar to slip being OP in Smartphone. congrats for being OP and keeping your big secret remain hidden. edit: ehh, both works I guess. as long as my secret remains hidden. it doesn't matter if they're dead or alive. they're soldiers and they are very much expected to be 50% dead the next day. that said, this event will definitely trigger a disturbance (can't think of a better word) between the two kingdoms. Mile will be caught up in the middle of it. She has to run away again. with or without her party in tow. |

Reina is the one who actually seems to empathize with the villagers and who's treating the bandits for the threat they are. I guess Mile and the others have never had to face bandits as anything other than a minor inconvenience. I mean Mile is so powerful they're like pebbles to her. Reina's the only one genuinely struggling for justice. It's a stupid struggle, and without her friends it would have been futile too. But she's got the right mindset. If you let the snake in your garden live because you love animals, you shouldn't be surprised if it bites you one day. I guess I just like to see some idealism in my fantasy anime. And in the end plenty of people actually died, but I guess the anime thinks it's okay because this one old fart lived to tell the tale. |

| That geezer sure is popular. Feels kind of weird that the people were only sad about the old man and o so happy when he returned tbh But guess that's what usually happens. It was only a small group too so the rest was crying for their lost ones or sth Reina finally settles down I hope? They shouldn't take any more time for her conflict there imo Pauline is scary xd Mile had some hilarious expressions today |

| Lol the granddaughter's not what Mile and the team imagined. Still its nice to see the strong bonds that exist between the master and his granddaughter. Mile sure was quite determined to go on the class trip though. The news about the convoy's fate though sure was tragic. To think that the true culprits was actually the military of the nearby kingdom though. No matter how they try to hide it the bandit identity is way to thin and unable to disguise just how well trained and equipped they are. Mile's way of using nanamachines to disable her opponents sure was fun. In the end its good that not only were the girls able to defeat the bandits disguised soldiers and clear the trade routes but also that the master was able to make it back to see his granddaughter again. As ever a fun ep that combined excellent comedy with some quick but effective action. While Reina's aggressive nature still poses a problem fro the team it seems that even she is starting to realise just how much she and the girls have grown to trust each other as family. |

Mile is correct in bitchslapping her. don't get me wrong, bandits are bad and they deserve the most painful of deaths. but Reina doesn't have the capacity to do it, Mile does. which is a good thing since Mile isn't out for revenge or changing the world or whatever. but if Reina got Mile's powers? oh boy oh boy. I dunno about you but power corrupts. very much so. Reina will go on a rampage and her sanity will break. she WILL turn into Lucy from Elfen Lied in no time. and speaking of Elfen Lied, here's hoping Mile will not suffer the same fate as Lucy. remember the dog scene? yeah. that will be a complete disaster. |

| Maybe the soldier claiming he'd rather die than live in shame is what made Reina realise that it's better not to kill them, but take away what pride they have left and make them suffer for their actions. |

But the whole reason Reina is out to kill bandits is so that innocents like her past self can be protected. It's personal for her. And if anything this episode proves that she's right to be concerned. It's ironic that you would say that power will corrupt Reina when the corrupt folk in the episode were literally the soldiers doing the banditry! But you're right that it can go south real soon. We don't want to get stuck with an antihero on our hands, like Hajime from Arifureta. I just wish this anime would actually find it's bearings and decide what it wants to be. If it wants to be a fluff SoL like 'Gochuumon wa usagi desu ka?', that's fine. If it wants to be a battle isekai like 'Mondaiji tachi...' or 'Arifureta' that's also fine. If it wants to be a parody anime like Ixion Saga DT, that is also fine. But it shouldn't try to be all three simultaneously. If my MCs are actively getting threatened for their lives, I want to see blood spill. Otherwise, I just don't know how I could empathize with any of the characters. They'll always get by on their magic plot armour. |

| weak episode. I never bought on Reina's backstory nor I cared for the old man either. It was obvious he wouldn't die. And of course, Reina had to go alone because "ut's muh ruvungu, ut's duusn't cuncurn yuu" Cliché. well at least we can move on from this. |

| This was a really cute and emotional episode. really enjoyed it. Seeing a parent's/grandparent's love always makes me miss my dad, been gone 7 years last week. Glad Reina is getting some peace finally. |

They'll always get by on their magic plot armour. nah, the reason is revenge. if its to protect the innocent then she wouldn't go out of her way to the forest and do solo skirmish. therefore Mile's bitchslap. and yes I actually want this to go arifureta but without Hajime's darkest moment. and for once I want the side characters move the story along. either her family finds her, an extended family finds her, the kingdom(s) catches her, etc. there have been too many characters/plot points introduced so far and yet all we're seeing is Mile's screentime. |

| Mile has some mean ways of defeating the enemies... Spiky pebbles? Really? XD Glad to see Reina learned from her past and didn't kill of the captain of those soldiers/bandits, whatever they claim to be. |
 |
| Well that was another pretty emotional episode. I honestly never expected this anime to get serious like this Crate said: Materializing spiky pebbles in the shoes of your enemies... now that is a truly devilish spell.

| Glad ji-chan got saved by nature, Anne would've been devastated. But I liked how Reina got to have some sort awakening from her pent up animosity against bandits, thanks to Mile's slap of friendship. |

 |
| should have just killed them all *shrug* except for maybe the leader just so they have proof that it was people of another country doing stuff |
| I came here to laugh, not to cry q_q That was a very nice Reina arc, I was kinda shocked for this change of tone from pure comedy to a mix of that and pretty heavy drama, but it honestly nailed it hard in the end with the grandpa scene, I'm glad he made the right decision and brought back some smiles after the tragedy that happened to the merchants and their families. Anyways, holy christ Mile, that spiky peeble attack is worse than death, you went to far there, that hurt to watch. |
 |
| Pretty touching episode, good for Anne that her granpa survived. Also nice Reina managed to control her anger and didn't kill that soldier. |
 |
| hmm, so the neighboring empire goes on commerce raiding killing merchants carrying goods for the kingdom. Miles and friends expose the evil plot of the empire and beat the soldiers. Episode felt fine when I watched it. Certainly some enjoyment is still there. However, it feels like the show lacks replay value. I don't feel like rewatching an episode of this anime, but I've rewatched Azur Lane ep 6 and Rifle is Beautiful ep 5 like three or four times already. I will still continue to watch this, but feels like the weakest among the shows I'm still following this season. |

| OK episode I guess. It had some good moments but the conclusion of Reina's arc wasn't really that satisfactory and honestly, I'm not being a fan of these transitions between serious and comical sequences. They feel really jarring most of the time. Maybe I'm of the minority here but I would have preferred the series to remain as the "parodic isekai" it tried to be during the first 4 eps. |
| This episode was just okay, I wish they'd actually have killed that dude though like wtf. It bothers me how much they act like killing is super bad. also very convenient ending with the old dude coming back alive. |

MAL score of 6.2? stop quoting a mediocre show. this show is nothing like that garbo (hot take). but honestly and this is what made me think Mile was a genius: my first thought in that situation was to put the 3 to sleep and slaughter everyone including those that are hiding and watching the scene. which has the unfortunate consequence of that event being so big that all kingdoms will be on high alert. but can you blame me when I didn't had time to think any better? Mile got it right and much more. |

| Flashback much? Seems like another recurrence to remind Reina of her past ONCE AGAIN. Looks like those same group of banditssoldiers from Reina's past has come to harass them once more. Certainly she would not forgive just for revenge... The grandfather surviving was a prediction from afar, 50/50 chance but good for him. HOWEVER, how much I want to like this portrayal of events, it ended up backfiring between the seriousness and the intensity of the situations. Furthermore, even though her arc is already so butchered, it felt half-baked at best. So to say that this episode ended up being iffy is the most provident way I can say about this episode, a mish-mash of ideas already present before (in the novel) plus the director's own "original" touch (to which I say: Hello??? *Knock knock* HELLO??? Are you sleeping?) Just kinda wished this had the usual treatment of treating adaptations the way it was meant to be. |

ronelm2000 said: KANLen09 said: Just kinda wished this had the usual treatment of treating adaptations the way it was meant to be. Be careful what you wish for: the average outcome for LN adaptations is the trash sloppy adaptations seen in so many wasted potential anime out there. Index S3 for example ended up INCREDIBLY trash, adaptation-wise. SAO S1 and S2 was a mess, adaptation-wise. DAL S3 suffered incredibly under the weight of our expectations + an unreasonably poor budget and was rushed imo. Arifureta was the recent one axed and butchered repeatedly (tho I've never personally seen it, it's something echoed to me from those who did watch it). ImoutoSae kind of lampshaded this reality, but sometimes it just happens. That being said I don't really mind the changes at all: It just goes to show that well, people don't just change overnight. It's a slow and steady step towards being a better person that the bastards who will just end a life because they have to; that you don't have to stoop down to their level of humanity. Plus it does introduce the idea that there's a third political empire just on the horizon and I just don't see that being ignored for the rest of the series. the problem with arifureta is that it could easily surpass shield hero. personally I dropped the manga not because it's bad, but because it's an action manga first and foremost and thus I wanted to watch it, not read it. there are youtube vids out there showcasing some of its action clips and getting 1m views at this point. and that's despite the horrible cgi. the demand is definitely there. but sure, I can accept that adapting should be a case-by-case basis. some should be adapted faithfully while some should have some leeway. |
