Damn Xylo can't catch a break, especially dealing with that Ninth Holy Knight Order commander.

Yeah this episode carried a feeling of despair but Xylo could only do what he could do here at the fortress. The battle has started and this is looking to be a brutal one. To the surprise of no one though, Patausche is still a badsss this show.

The plot thickens.

Xylo really keeps Tsav's psychotic impulses in check, dude is too dangerous to leave unsupervised.
Somehow i feel fervent loyalty when Norgalle gives his speech and order, the miners must feel the same way.
And of course, Teoritta's cute jealousy fueled tantrums, I mean Pelmerry got seven headpats in a day! It's unfair that Teoritta got none!

Goated episode, glad I stick with this show. Ep 4 and 5 has saved it. Tho watching on Netflix can suck alot when there's multiple conversation going on. Gotta pause to read the subtitle of both dialogues.

Tsav is so fucking funny, Kazuma’s VA btw. Kivia and Xylo have grown closer, she's kinda seeing him that way. The ninth goddess’s design is so good. Teoritta’’s scene was so adorable, I understand that Xylo doesn’t want to become fond of her, but poor little Teoritta. The end of the world has started, the whitey dude nailed it, there are Demon Lord worshipers, and they wanna kill us. I don’t know if we can trust him, he looks like a villain.

So-ge-ki!

Motor Mouth Kazuma is good when he's clowning on police and criminals, not so much when he's with the main cast. He's almost Tanzania 2.0, except he's not a magic loli, so the other characters don't give him a pass. Fortunately, we're back to fighting now. The poison goddess and the Coexist faction also sound like parts of the lore that are worth exploring. The arrival of enemy humans on the battlefield is a good hook, might lead to something.

His Majesty Norgalle makes this show 11 times better. The miners stared Death with their eyes two episodes ago and still came back knowing very well what they'd be facing. But being given courage and a purpose is something that changes lives. I have no doubts this brutal battle will take its toll, but I also bet that everybody's effort will prevent a victory being pyrrhic.

Why won't he give headpatts to Teoritta, he's heartless. She's so adorable when mad though. The miners just barely survived but now came to help them. I'll feel so bad if that girl's father dies. Also I was under the impression that the story takes place years after Xylo was sentenced but some big family trying to send reinforcements to help him suggets otherwise. His fiancée by any chance? Sounded like a female. Wasn't expecting humans to show up helping the blight out in the open so soon after Xylo just heard about the possibility. They don't think any of them will survive to tell the tale. Though nobody will believe them anyway even if they do.

Xylo and Kivia are lucky Teoritta didn't catch a glimpse of the blush of a thousand words lol


It sucks for the infectees but the designs of the faeries continue to be endlessly cool not just as monsters, but for the roles they fulfill for the blighted "army". Of course their lance cavalry would be unicorns from hell.

Kind of a middling episode again but at least the cliffhanger was good. The action towards the end against the coiste bodhars and their charge had a couple rough looking moments animation-wise that stood out with some ambitious shots but mostly came together otherwise. Was mostly a net positive still. Do think the series spread out the larger scale battles well since I did feel like it was about time for one to come with the protection of the fortress (which already feels like a shambles based on the solid cliffhanger there). The episode felt a bit slow and boring for me to get through in parts since the characters still aren't ones I care for too much with Tsav getting a little more airtime for this week, but it at least built enough towards next week's battle. Sure does promise to be a bloodbath. Kivia also seems to slowly growing in trust with Xylo as far as this episode went, earning some jealousy from Teoritta in the process. Also got to see another goddess this time around for a little bit. So little things did happen at least, even if some of it felt a bit dull. I wouldn't say it's a show I'm loving whatsoever but there's enough on the bone to still see if it turns from average to something that can stand out. Hopefully next week can have me a little more interested.

Poor Teoritta being ignored by Xylo especially after the other goddess got 7! headpats lol. On a more serious note Xylo and his group held their own pretty good until a cavalry of humans arrived that appeared to be on the demon's side, damn. Hopefully they can capture at least one of them and make them talk.

I noticed that Kivia is getting closer to Xylo which is concerning since I think it can lead to her getting falsely accused and maybe even leading to her being sentenced to be a hero (or heroine in this case).

Pelmerry is getting 7 head pats a day while Teoritta can't even get 1. Life really is unfair huh. Cool seeing another goddess...so are they all lolis? I guess that's just how they are.

Also ngl I would've liked to see Teoritta interact with another goddess that would've been fun to see maybe.

We got to see how Tsav got sentenced to be a hero. Ngl he might be the only one that actually deserved to be sentenced to death or be a hero so far? He's a sharp shooter as well. Seems his eye sight is inhuman and he never misses. Also wanna bet some of those easy kills where demon supports/blight spies etc?

Kivia's getting closer to Xylo making Teoritta even more jealous. She also isn't a noble but a relative of a high priest huh. I hope she doesn't get accused now and sentenced to be a hero.

Also so Venetim can actually kinda say whatever he wants there's no restriction? At least he can allude to the truth even if he can't directly say it outright? Idk but they really messed up I feel not just killing him.

Also so Rhyno volunteered to be a hero wtf? Who would want to do that?

Damn what a cliffhanger, things were going so well for Xylo and co. too, but things going too well in anime is usually never a good sign.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

At least put the credits at the beginning of the episode if its gonna cover half the screen during the battle scenes at the end. Literally walls of text taking more than 50% of the screen when they are fighting lol.

The best isekai this season, no questions asked, until pedo mushoku tensei comes out later this year.

9/10 good set up of the plan for the fight, with some battles going on towards the end.

I am getting bored with this show. None of what is happening is interesting. Reminds me of Fairy Gone, all style no substance. This far in and these goddesses just whining for head pats, are they just here for the lolicons? I guess I finally realized they are using the term "hero" ironically, because obviously they are sentenced to just be cannon fodder but keep getting resurrected to repeat that and all these guys are just really crooks. Again not sure why they wouldn't just kill Xylo outright, since he is an actual threat to them.

I still maintain that this anime is way overrated. Seriously, is Teoritta still stuck with the same old cliché attitude? What happened to Xylo's revenge? It seems like they've sidelined him. And so far, none of the characters are interesting at all. They just tell you who they are and what their personalities are, and it seems like they're going to stay that way. As for the battles, they're already repetitive and boring. Another thing that seems wasted is the concept that they lose their memories every time they die, which they haven't even touched on since episode 1. If this anime keeps going like this, it'll be mediocre at best.

Great set up ep

Tsav a slight crackhead fr.

Glasses gotta be the mastermind right???

Cute Kivia blush.

Tsav's snipping abilities are cool, but not out of the norm.

Pelmerry is definitely getting no sleep/breaks. Obvious bags on her eyes.

Love Xylo's no bs attitude.

The GOAT has returned (Your Majesty).

Need Xylo to think outside the box.

Your Majesty just continues to excite me with his masterful ideas.

Humans on demons???

They really want the heroes dead, huh??

9.5/10

Okay, the story is not bad, but characters are atrocious. Why do we always have to have unreasonable brat screaming non-stop? 86 was perfect without that spoiled kid who is for god knows what reason part of the war effort. Same thing here. Okay they are goddesses, but I'd prefer if Theorita was like others. Mellow and contained. Not a kindergarten kid. Is this something to do with perverts and their love for lollis? Main character is broody as always, which is not as bad until he gets unreasonably angry like a teenager. It's as if every character is based on a single trait and then they only keep doing that. One guy talks, other is constantly afraid, main character is angry, kid is kid.

Am not sure I'd like to continue watching this. Story is kind of fresh but every time they stand and talk I can't find the will to keep watching.

I ended up enjoying this episode quite a lot actually.
It was interesting to see the set-up for this battle, and this time around, it seems the overall plot is going to move foward, considering the revelation at the end of the episode, that there are humans helping out these demons destroying humanity, and also Venetim trying to make Xylo understand the overall picture (since he himself can't say it, due to his seal).

That Tsav guy though... He's just ruthless, and probably the most deserved guy to be a hero so far, he's just straight up a killer. I feel like the Temple/Government didn't really had to set him up for him to become a hero, he just fills the requirements.

Also, that little moment between Kivia and Xylo, and later between Teoritta, Xylo and Kivia was really cute, I'm liking the way they are developing the relationship between the 3.
We also got to meet another goddess.

I'm really curious to see how the plot is going to develop after this episode, as it seems we're going to get the overall picture of what's happening behind the scenes sooner than what I was expecting. Also, I found it interesting this episode started with Tsav's sentence of being a hero, since they actually never showed this sentence from other heroes that were already introduced, like Dotta and His Majesty (Norgalle), we don't even know why Tatsuya was sentenced (he was summoned from another world, and ended up as a hero, that's tragic).

Edit: Forgot to mention, but the way they ended the episode really showed how brutal that battle is going to be. It was also really nice to see that the miners are back, and decided to help Xylo for everything he has done for them.

You gotta wonder when the MC will wake up, stop playing by the rules of those out to destroy humanity. It's obvious they sentenced him because he didn't let his goddess become corrupt. Being that he's drawn as an older more mature person you'd think he could see the corruption.

The new characters being introduced are very interesting and the current cast development is pretty good.

I feel like the world building is going at a decent pace and the cliffhanger makes me excited for next episode.

@BlitzNite they're humans not demon blight archers. They're humans who want humanity to end and hence the venetim conspiracy theory was mentioned in the episode for the hint.
