Well, this episode proves that Will can use his skills beyond just magic. He's also very useful with tools and resources as shown in that dungeon.

He made quite an impression when fighting that monster imo. It's one of those moments where his spotlight in the show is deserved for being showcased. Doubt it will be the last time this season either.

Tears were shredded on that day.

Our Will is too good to be treated like a low level non-existent student well that's the treatment non magic users get where Magic Reigns the most.
He defeated that monster in a matter of minutes, he is too good in a dungeon.
That Goofy girl is actually in a covert mission she accessed how our MC did & reported that to the top 5 Magic Vande.

Yea this was on par with episode 1. Wowza, another banger episode. Who the hell needs magic in the dungeon when you got experience, instincts and vibes like Will?

First of all I love how the newspapers are magically animated like in the Harry Potter universe, first time I seen that in anime lol.

This was really a cool set up episode for Elfaria. We’ve heard so much about she and Will relationship since episode 1, and learning about all the spells she’s patented and the heights she’s reached since they last met in this one was neat. While Will may not be on that level yet, he’s made quite a name for himself and as we saw at the end of the episode, his exploits have made their way up the tower. He’s making progress.

Wouldn’t be an Oomori sensei work if we weren’t picking up gorgeous girls in a dungeon lmao. Iris is cute as hell, but you knew something was up with her. The way she reacted to being “saved” was sus. She was real af for that “How could I look down on someone who saved me” though. That Sion MF needs to hear that badly.

The frost Rex fight was so fire(pun intended) just constantly in awe at how good this show longs. The love and care the staff put into it is very much appreciated 🙏🏾I love seeing how innovative Will is with his fighting technique as well since he can’t use magic he utilises his environment, tools and experience to take down foes. It’s really satisfying

Iris’ identity reveal at the end wasn’t really surprising, but it was cool seeing the Magia Vander up close and personal and they’re definitely a curious bunch of folks. Lot of personality in that room lmao. I’m interested in the whole fated day prophecy and these “seeds” they’re trying to cultivate.

Sounds like Will’s strength would be perfect for that, but of course the whole bias against non magical people thing hurts him.. on the bright side we know Elfaria is still waiting on him and he’s getting stronger and stronger.

Can’t wait for next episode

Rosty gets to see Will's nipples everyday, that's a perk of being his roommate. I'm not surprised that Will is that muscular since he can't use magic so he has to compensate physically.

What I'm surprised is that one of the Magic Vander, the shirtless guy, is also muscular as well, I don't get to see his nipples though. Can't wait for the next time he'll appear.

Looks like this show is hiding some good story behind its corny vibes. Get rid of this stupid annoying romance shit and we're good. I know they're teenagers but still. Also, the MC's hair is fucking annoying me for some reason. He's already a wimp despite his physical strength, but they really had to make him look dorky didn't they. And his physical looks too, I mean his body. He's jacked under those clothes but when he's clothed he looks like almost every character in this show, cartoonishly paper-thin. As for the battle scenes, it's good keep it up.

Animation didn't go as hard as the beginning episode this time around but if it is consistently like this when the episodes aren't the priority, huge ones, the project really is in good hands. Still looks very solid action-wise at least. Story is still way too boring with a boring lead but the ending with Iris working under Elfaria and basically acting as an observer to Will was a bit interesting, clearly on a covert mission connected to Elfaria there.

Elfaria herself sending down a request to the students of the academy. Venture into the dungeon to slay some ice monsters. It seems like a normal monster clearing task but by the end of the episode we can see that there's more to it. Based off that ending scene the Magia Vander are looking for more strong mages to help them for the day the sky they uphold falls. Without a massive amount of quality mages around them their world won't be able to survive. That girl Iris whom they sent to scope out the students really threw me for a loop. I was completely shocked at how she fooled Will their entire time in the dungeon. The fight down there was pretty awesome. Will having his friend Rosty make his magical gear which came in clutch against the giant ice monster. The fight looked incredible with crazy good animation once again. Will strapping explosives around this thing lighting it up! Hes gonna get some nice monster fighting credits and working towards fulfilling Elfaria request for the students. She has created a dozen new magic spells which apparently has never been done before. Which has me thinking what have the other Magia Vander done to earn their own spots. They all must be wicked strong, and they obviously don't get along. But we've got a magic festival coming up where the students can show their strength.

3 episodes in and they're still cooking. This world really has a lot of potential, like just thinking about what's outside the barrier, there could be a whole bigger world out there.

Damn Iris, I did not expect that sudden shift in personality and girl is definitely not fourteen lmao. Yes, please recommend Will, I don't know if the Magia Vanders are just not bothering to look him up, but if they do, they'll see that he's an actual beast, dude is shredded. Though, they could just like be the rest of the folks there, discriminating against people with no magic.

The Magia Vanders all look cool as fuck though. I need to see more Elfie though man, the ED is enough to tide me over for now, but we're gonna need more soon.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
