Are we sure that Rosti person is actually a guy and not a girl? The main guy thinks the former, but I've my doubts. Also, are we again sure that Lily is fourteen year old? Even from the standards of this series that isn't looking like the case.

By the way, dude's reputation is as poor as it could be, but for some odd reason he's surrounded by girls every walking second. Magia Vanders exactly looked like the bunch I was expecting them to be.. brash and proud.

goddamn i was genuinely shocked by will's build, i was not familiar with bro's game. another pretty good episode, with solid action action and added a bunch of characters who should be interesting and lore as well. for some reason i knew iris felt sus but i didn't expect her to be that big of a deal, will might be getting a promotion.

Will is like Ippo from Hajime no Ippo...substantially larger with his shirt off than with his shirt on.

Also, it appears that the Magia Vander can teleport down to the base of the tower whenever they want with minimal effort to talk to non-magia, which means that Elfaria could visit and talk to Will any time she wants...and chooses not to.

Just saying.

@Abstudios07

...we literally just saw them teleport down to the bottom of the tower for a quick conversation with the very person Will was just with earlier that day during this episode. Did you forget to watch the after credit scene? Will could have just as easily been there, and then Elfaria could talk with him. He clearly does not need to ascend the tower except that she chooses not to make herself available to him.

@amf85 no he needs to ascend the tower if he wishes to be with her.
That place is inside the tower and at worst case it wasn't
Do you really believe they could just meet eachother after each meeting and would live happily ever after?

He needs to go inside that tower as you saw at the beginning of the episode.
He ain't allowed inside. And she can't come outside
How are they supposed to meet?
Don't worry about that Watcher she is Different case unlike will she has the authority.
As you see, she opened the door , will can't do that either.

They're not allowed to meet , the magia wonder come outside only once in a year and that one is a massive spoiler so can't share.

See this is why we keep coming back.





Plus those walking scenes.








Those ^ could have been simplistic, solitary in color palette. But, no they go all out for a significant amount of its airtime.
Just to nail in her entrance into the story.

This is quality work.

Action went hard again, this show continues to impress me.

So Iris ended up being a mole for the Magia Vander, who btw all act just about how you would expect the highest level of mages to act lol. Some colorful personalities there that's for sure. It was also interesting how there were 5 seats but only 4 of them present.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

So they keep telling us, I'm aware of the premise of the show, but what we actually see does not support that.

Actas+Bandai Namco Pics managed to maintain and follow the 3-episode rule properly and I have faith in them being able to keep up the good work. Looking forward to the rest of the season.
It's really fun to see another work from the creator of Danmachi and it being animated like this is already putting this title on its way to becoming a better anime franchise than Danmachi itself (provided Actas+BandaiNamco manages to make more of this in the future)

I feel the show really slow especially the way they speaking, when I speeding up to 1.30x it's become better.

Then how the MC can jump so high like 20 meter maybe more later in the series? is he superhuman? who need magic if he can jump high like that. No explanation at all. and he run so fast, is he the flash?

Why is he "drawn" so "detailed" when he's changing his clothes.....I expected he was gonna be ripped but the level of detail....my brain short-circuited and I couldn't concentrate on well...anything anymore.....o-o and I don't mean that in a stan-kind of way....but a 'wth" kind of way...

The first episode was great. But it is in decline now for sure. Lets see how it goes. The story so far seems very generic to me and MC is sometimes a little annoying. The romance stuff is also annoying, it seems like I am not the target audience for this show. Especially the fanservice body shot of MC shows me thag. But at least the animation was great and carried the show by now. So if animation quality goes down like in this epsidoe, whats left is an average anime imo.

5:00 damn he's ripped. I mean of course he is but DAMN! No homo but still...

Also damn Elfaria is crazy talented. You only need to create one new magic to advance to the tower but she created 12 new spells that's actually insane.

18:44 wtf she just changed her entire personality 180 degree's. I guess it is a bit suspicious for someone to just happen to trapped by monsters multiple times. Is she like a spy or something?

Ok so she's a scout basically for those with potential? The magic vander people seem interesting. We got lighting, fire, wind and ice. The other one is earth?

Good episode overall. We got to see the magic vander well most of them except one? Or is that an empty seat? So there's also factions? Like factions of magic? Ice faction, earth faction, fire faction etc I assume.

I simply love the art style of this series and how the dedicated artists didn't switch art styles in between scenes! The panning was smoothly done to a point where I lost it when I heard the EP start because how immersed I get into each episode and never realize when it ends!!!

Since I'm a manga reader I love the way the story is being animated. I laud the animators who are bringing this to life! Can't wait for the next episode already!!!

Damn, the after-credits sequence this week was so hype! Each of the Magia Vander oozes style and power. Really loving their character designs.

Looks like there's an empty seat in the middle that they're recruiting for? Did someone retire? Die? It doesn't seem like they're actively at war with the Celestial Host so I wonder what happened to the previous 5th seat.

The Grand Festival smells like a tournament arc ... I hope that's what it is!

The action sequences are really fun to watch as always. The pose that Will made before exploding the Frost Trex was fucking incredible. He thanked 'his' roommate for that as well, i'm not sure how long itll take him to figure it out. Also just the normal scenes where the background animation is just beautiful (the watcher walking down the hall to meet the magia vanders). Also, they've made quite an impression. It does seem a little basic character wise, setting et. Like the fire guy being the "leader" of them . Aside from that, it's jst getting better and better.

Looks like we're ending at the finally of the Grand festival.
Terrible way to end if you ask me. Many would just forget about it. The shows true potential lies at the end of ch29 but we ain't getting that much well I would keep up Watching not that big of a problem for me as I already know the story.

Edit - no that can't be possible I'm sure we saw ch20 in opening.

wait there's chapter 20 in the episode?
when was that!?

Another great episode, even better than the last!

This might just be my favourite show this season. (though I have to admit I have yet to start Monogatari Off season)

If Rosty was my roommate I would forget all about Elfaria real quick.

PS: This ep shows once again my taste is just so different from the norm. This had everything, character developement, worldbuilding, great action and a twist! Yet its relatively low rated. Other shows have a peak episode and I think its completely boring.

Really enjoying this series so far. Lots of great characters, and the worldbuilding is developing in an interesting way.

I loved the Star-Wars-i-ness of tying up the ice beast before blowing it up. It felt like a super fun homage to me.

I look forward to the next episode.

This week we get a look at another means of attack for Will when his sword isn't effective. But what was more interesting is the fact that the Magia Vander's seem desperate to find more capable people to help avoid the prophecy of the world turning to darkness. So much so they sent a scout. Other than that, not much else happened this episode. Just felt more like a filler in between a more important event with this tournament coming up. Probably the weakest episode yet.

At the beginning of the episode I was thinking Will should just ditch the white haired mage and pick from one of his growing harem, but Elfaria's not only waiting for him and hasn't forgotten him, she's sending out talent scouts to try and recruit him. My bad!

Had no idea Will's roommate was supposed to be a dude. I know a lot of female Japanese VA voice male characters, but if it's supposed to be a guy they aren't even trying.

Decent bit of world building and introduction to Order of the Phoenix or whatever. Seeing the resources and strategies Will uses beyond just peak athletics and a sword was really cool and of the course the battle was top notch. I can't wait to see what other magical items he makes use of.

Humanity living under an artificial sky piqued my interest, but it was dampened by the common teenage antiques of Colette & the new girl. We also got to see the Magia Vanders; four are present, yet there are 5 seats.

The hint of the impending battle between this world and the so-called Celestial Hosts sounds interesting.

MC looks like a girl, his roommate looks and sounds like a girl. Alright.
Seriously tho, can MC man up a little ? He looks so beta it's annoying. His voice is pathetic as well.
Also, yeah yeah great animations. That's all this show has going for it. Almost fell asleep this episode. This show takes itself way too seriously and thinks it oh so epic. It's not.
A pretentious smooth and polished turd is still a turd. Next episode needs to change things up drastically or i'll drop this like a hot potato.

Will Serfort is the greatest warrior, but when it comes to magic, he is weak. I hope his magic abilities will get better over time. Iris and Collete surely will help him.

That Frost Rex is a powerful monster and if they manage to beat him, they will receive six credits. I wonder what happened with Professor Edward though:))

The animation, characters and story is pretty good, so far I like this anime:)

Huh... the beginning of episode...

It felt like this was set up so Elfie has no choice but to go to the Tower?...

Cause the dialogue made it sound like Elfie and Will was saying their final goodbye and made it look like Elfie didn't really want to leave, but she had to...

(felt like she was "forced" to go into the Tower...)

.

And we got another "new girl"... glasses girl this time.

And for a 14 yo... she looks the same age as Will... (they might have a different physique growth in their world, but it feels like she should have been a bit shorter to match 14 yo)

But her personality fits, I guess, "AH~WAWAWAWAWA" (tho... she's just "acting"...) (kinda want her to be an actual cute airheaded bookworm girl, o well...)

.

BTW... did... Will... Just...

BLOW THAT FROST MONSTER's ASS? OOF... critical hit (I felt that one)

.

And I guess the "tower" is a "Lie" in how they're teaching the students getting to the Tower is the top achievement... but in fact... the ppls that goes to the Tower has no actual freedom, but to just maintain the barrier from the Invaders...

Everyone below are all being "groomed" to become a soldier to fight the Invaders.
