This episode still felt kind of all over the place with events going on. Hakuto always seems to be the one encountering weird characters in this show but I'm glad he took care of that brat. Just goes to show how powerful Hakuto is by the time this season.

Seems he has some sort of important role to carry on soon? Now I'm curious.

The more I watch, the more I don't understand this anime. But the worst part is that I think even if I understand it would still change nothing for me.

This episode was a little nonsensical and in the first half I didn't know if I was even watching the right show. It's nice when new story arcs/characters are introduced, but it was a little đŸ€·đŸ€·đŸ€·đŸ€· to follow.

It was nicer once Hakuto met the evil high-demon child though so there was a clearer connection between things.

Akane FTW! She made this episode so much more enjoyable. Especially her love of those “scandalous marshmallows!” She was motorboating Mrs. Edgelord as if her life depended on them. Though seeing that edge lord demon get his comeuppance was worth it, it was ruined by those ungrateful fox twins and their belligerent “mother.” Oh well, at least we got some amazing scenes with Akane. She sure knows how to chew up the scenery, and her line delivery is spot on. We demand more Akane! đŸ„°đŸ„°đŸ„°

What was with the 1st half of this episode? Though I did enjoy the ice-cube scene for some bizarre reason.

Here comes the kidnapped princess, one of the characters I dislike, but she also needs help. While the animation somehow censored the scenes, the princess' high quality voice made it more realistic.

P.S. The new characters' lovely scenes, ruined. 😭😭😭

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.

A lot of interesting things happening in this episode.
Mystery of the great mother and the female.
All that political stuff with Xenovia, Parma, Princess Cake & the demons.
That was a hilarious punishment scene with Beatrice & Kongming.
Akane & Mink are entertaining together.
Kunai sure did put Kale in his place.
We might see that shrine again another time and get some answers.

I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together.

Gotta agree with most others, this season/anime is doing a pretty bad job of providing a coherent story so the viewers have any idea what is going on or following characters after they are introduced so that you don't lose track of who people are or what they're supposed to be doing or care about.

Well this was quite the goofy one, the good kind honestly lol, and this was mainly thanks to that “fight” between Kunai and the new demon kid Kale, I like his design and personality but good lord that fight had like zero animation, Kale was sent rolling three separate times or something and every time was a power point lol, but this comes back to something I’ve been saying about this series since the first season, and it’s that average or bad animation oddly adds to the comedy, the third time Kale was sent rolling actually got me laughing because of how bad it looks and the rule of three got me lol. He got what he deserved tho and Kunai thankfully saved those fox children, maybe that god will eventually give him the time of day, also like others mentioned I did like the Firefox joke lol.

This episode also gave us more Akane and Mink action, scenes looked decent and Akane is just a really fun character, she also appears to have a hidden dark side when she talked about being sent to their original world, interesting gap we got here. I also love getting some more Mink, even with her design change she’s still probably my best girl, I liked seeing her get some action in, and also get close and personal with Akane lol, she may look different now but those lucious baps didn’t go anywhere. Another good fanservice bit was the one with Beatrice and Kongming, didn’t expect threatening someone with putting ice in their mouth could be hot lol, very nice angles there too. And lastly there was that bit with Princess Cake, I feel bad for her but she’s also got a personality that doesn’t match her cute appearance, hope she gets saved nonetheless, hand stabbing scene was kinda brutal.

This turned out to be an enjoyable episode. The story is all over the place and doesn’t really matter, but as long as they keep delivering more of the same—and shoving boobs and thighs in my face—I’m happy (insert sarcastic cough).

I went from a 5 to 4 score after this episode. I’ve lost track of the plot! It seems I need an ouija board to figure out where this is all going. Every week taints what I remember about S1.

There is a sense of lack of motivation in every section.

The backgrounds, animations, storyboards, and story all feel strange.

The characters suddenly become two-headed, which makes the perspective very awkward.
Furthermore, if they were going to use two-headed characters, it wouldn't feel strange if all the characters that appear on-screen were two-headed and the backgrounds were manga-like, but
there is a mixture of two-headed characters, normal-headed characters, and realistic backgrounds, which feels really strange.

It's all slideshows, and it's starting to feel like a picture-story show.

Things were getting spicy with Beatrice there. So wait Kongming just used the information to her advantage when the princess with the demons? Lol. Looks like Maou will be the one getting her. Firefox lmao. He called him a browser. I'd like to see their mother, she sounds like a nice onee san. Akane's been fun to have around too.
