Our deuteragonist has finally appeared.

Having completed her first mission, Belle has earned the respect of even the forces of evil. One day, she meets Adonis Question, a swordsman with a complicated past who is one of the Four Great Swordsmen, yet also known as the Sword Thief. The two are summoned to the castle, where they learn that the merfolk Tiziano, who had gone missing, has fallen to the side of evil and is plotting revenge against justice. Under the orders of King Rawhide, a large-scale expedition consisting of three battalions is formed to defeat Tiziano, with Belle and Adonis among those selected.

This is the thing, this world is actually pretty interesting. I mean, this world is legit just made up of different animals, which could make for many different and unique places like the place where the mermaids live or whatever. That aside, those guards really fucked up by destroying those pops. Though, at least because of it, Belle was able to meet Adonis properly and connect with him a bit. To which, ngl, these two have pretty good chemistry.

Our protagonist and deuteragonist have good chemistry, no doubt. But is their chemistry strong enough to team up and take down their enemies?

Belle being rewarded for her sword in equality of the riches in regard to missions from the Tree God, and for taking down Kir Royale, one of the top 4 Solists, she's going to defeat the evil god of Tiziano.

Adonis being the Sword Thief who's earned himself quite the infamy, Belle wants to help, but Gaff restricts her. And to make matters even worse, him being bullied by the people around him, and going even as far as to kill the wildflower pops which she's been taking care of for the bit. To that extent, Adonis allowing her in his world to understand where he comes from, even the swords that he "stole" from folks who passed on, which explains his power: Question.

The Tree God's selection of the solist bands to defeat Tiziano at Katakombe, split into Underdogs and Topdogs to deal with Deus Ex Machina. as both Sian and Kitty the All assumes the battle would turn out to be. But for now, Belle can only follow the instructions of her band as they head together as the opening act of Schwert Muzik.

Considering Belle and Adonis's relationship, it's all good for now, though what will the future have for them?

I had a little trouble following this episode, but I'm loving the inventiveness of this setting so much, I don't even care when I get kinda lost.

Also, I need a paw plant.

With all the music imagery this time 'round, I can't help but think in those terms and consider that the anime has a mad composer, violently throwing splashes of ink down as they arrange notes into what should be a symphony, and indeed manages some quite beautiful segments, but is ultimately creating a cacophony of discordant notes and instruments clashing and making no sense.

Literally lost 95% of the time in this show, but I love it. It makes you want to know what is going on, but never explains fully. Will watch until its last days.

Also.. are they about to fight or play band music?

I hope both?! 😃

@Dmoneh They are the actors of a grandiose opera where blood will be lay down and no flesh will be spared.

I'm pretty sure the writing is more stupid than clever, but everything being a music sword plant is also sort of wonderful.

This leaves the impression of try-hard fantasy. It has so many different elements I think it's confusing itself. Maybe this would work better as a novel than anime?

I start feeling like I'm getting a good understanding of things, and then something new is added to the mix! They're marching into battle in a group now, I understand that much 👀. I like Adonis so far and how him and Belle became fast friends.

I am slightly confused about Belle's level of empathy! Because before it was said that she would cut down living things, if she was told to do so, pretty effortlessly. But she became really angry at those guys for doing the same. I was surprised to see her so empathetic towards the Pops, but then I thought it must be because she had time to become attached to them and feel like she was taking care of them. Maybe this was meant to be part of her journey. Like the reason she got her curse was that she would cut down other beings easily, so through her journey she will learn to treat all brings like those she gets attached to. Just an idea :).

Bye Bye, Earth? More like bye bye, plot. Last episode I knew a little what was going on, but I don't follow it anymore. Maybe it's a good plot, but I completely zoned out halfway through. Oh well, it is what it is

Did anyone else find that the second half of the episode suddenly felt like you were listening to people at the Mat Hatter's tea party?
Like I had no idea wtf was going on, and why they were suddenly in a marching band, and some guy was writing a "script" in a wagon..?
I can guess what things meant and that it's a weird world-building thing that aparently armies are like marching bands in this universe, but so many things were just chucked out randomly that it felt slightly tiring and tedious to watch.

it was pretty good, I really like the world building in the anime, though I wish they explained more of the limits to the worlds plot. But it has been loving to me so far! Plus no fan service which I personally like from shows.
