IMO the story of the two sisters is the best - the greedy hiding a universal human desire to be seen, the situation in Earth becoming shitty even if they genuinely cared about each other, simply because they did not see what the other was going through.
They also picked a rather fitting ability for the onee-san: since she felt like her youth was stolen, she is able to steal the youth of the others.
Sensei calling Wolff a playboy and telling him to shut up was also funny.

Geith getting his arse kicked is cathartic, but you know what would be even better? Seeing his brother getting slapped over and over. And penniless.

Ep7 had Tama getting some character development and background; this episode was for Nir. A coward and lying but precious boy.
By default most otherworlder in this series are arseholes, so it’s nice to see another exception. And one leading to a deserved happy ending - Wolf man meeting with his friend in Earth again.

So Haga is not above “delaying” a bug report so he can benefit from the bug a wee bit more, uh.
Luu being resurrected without memories was sad, but predictable. Perhaps it’s better this way for Amano, I don’t know, so he doesn’t grow too attached to the game world.
Boss had it comin’.

Episode in a nutshell: a couple horny but clueless bakas.
At least their feelings for each other are a bit better conveyed in the animation than in the manga. In the manga some events feel out of the blue, but here it seems that it’s building up nicely.
The coliseum CG is really jarring, but on the lighter side the characters are cuter. For Seras this is a given, but Eve also got prettier, without losing badass vibes:

I’m glad that Tama didn’t leave the party, it would be damn boring without her. (And Sensei’s disdain towards Nir’s coffin-pulling skills was funny.) The mark of the divine beast felt a bit like a deus ex machina but it worked well in the end.

KS had some impact on me learning Braille. Okay, perhaps not as much as Aldous Huxley saying that it’s comfy to read with your head under blankets, but still.

I bet that the boss told Amano that Lu can be resurrected just to be left alone.

This chapter can be summarised with two words: “oh shit”.
Odds are that they’ll be able to heal Takuto and dispel Atou’s mind control. And she’ll feel extremely guilty afterwards. (Next time make sure that your cute elf-looking eldritch abominations are resistant against mind attacks!)

Oh, we’re moving into the Sweaty Feet Arc! Because, you know, fungal infections in isekai are serious business!
Okay. Serious now. I get that the author wanted to make Dahlia’s tools something mundane and relatable. Still fun to watch, and I’m glad that I picked this series up.
The episode also shows Wolf’s relationship with his older “girlfriend”; it’s clear that she isn’t romantically interested on him or vice versa, but they seem close enough. More like friends pretending to be a couple for the convenience of both. I think that “Vee” is Wolf’s mother? The fact that his pseudo-girlfriend has a portrait of her shows that they were likely close friends. (She’s nice-looking, refined, by the way. But Dahlia is still cuter.)

The runaway bird returns to the cage.
Another great episode. The “random party member with a shady background is actually royalty” plot twist was kind of obvious, but now we got to learn Tama’s actual name. Who cares, she’s still Tama.
The king seems to be manipulative, but he still cares enough for his daughter to jump into danger for her sake. It looks like overprotection from a distance.

To be frank this episode was a bit of a letdown for me. It does explain why the Emperor wants to see Seras dead, why Civit is so bloodthirsty, why Touka didn’t use Pigimaru right off the bat against Civit… but the manga chapters do all of those in a more exciting way, less as “passing comments” and more as part of the plot, you know?
Plus the scene where the Emperor was losing his shite thinking on Seras is way funnier.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m still watching it, and I’m enjoying the series. But it could be better.

Of course they’d put Luce on the foreground, with the main character (Elma) on the back. Still, the picture looks really good, and as Phelpssan said the series is solid. I’m going to watch this one for sure!

I’m guessing it because I didn’t read the source material, but Kai and Sid are likely the same person. It seems like there’s some sort of time loop going on, not just the world going into a “what if”. (If not Kai himself, Sid must be someone close to him.)

I’m still flinging back and forth between “I’m glad that I picked this up” and “I’ll keep watching it because, why not?”. But my overall impression is really good.
- Comment on Hazure Waku no [Joutai Ijou Skill] de Saikyou ni Natta Ore ga Subete wo Juurin Suru made - Episode 5 discussion 3 months ago:
Oh, they skipped the part where Touka destroys the inn’s wall by buffing Pigimaru up!
Touka is genuine on wanting Seras’ help, even if so far it’s always him saving her arse. It’s less as a bodyguard though and more like a walking lie detector.
As well as the similarity that Seras sees between the Princess and Touka - unlike other people, they’re looking at what she can do for them, not just for her beauty. So far the anime did a poor job explaining it, but Seras is in-world so beautiful that she drives people mad lusting over her.
Telling Seras to take off her clothes is not in the manga. I wonder if it’s from the LN or anime only. Kind of cringe but still funny.

I’ve been missing this series.
- Comment on Isekai Shikkaku • No Longer Allowed in Another World - Episode 4 discussion 3 months ago:
The relative slow start of the series paid off really well in this episode.
One aspect of how the writer was written amazes me: Sensei’s trust on Annette feels natural. Because it isn’t based on wishful thinking or something like this, it’s simply knowledge - he’s really good at analysing people, to the point that he knows Annette’s strength of conviction better than Ysha, even if the later knows Annette for longer.
As well as his words still resonating within Annette - “you aren’t a caged bird”.
There’s also some nice tragedy in

I was genuinely surprised that the devs are still active.
Ditto - to be frank, I didn’t remember it from the manga. And now I have no idea if the devs don’t know that the debuggers are trapped, or know it and can’t bring them back, or know it and can bring them back but don’t care/don’t want to.

[Reposted in the right thread]
Fuck. Got to admit that I love this sort of drama. Like 2B realising her feelings for 9S, and 9S getting that small proof of affection from 2B (being called “Nines”), only to be a bit too late.
I also like that the bunker went kaboom. Yorha androids being able to come back to life removed a bit of the tension of the world. Like, who cares if some main dies? BRB, with slightly less memories.

That was my bad, I didn’t even realise it. (And I almost pinged rikka!)
I’ll migrate the comment to the other thread, thanks for pointing it out!

That’s a black company for you! Every debugger is trapped for ages inside the game, and yet the devs are still active, and reading the bug reports!
RIP Luu (ç_ç)7 First manga critic in that game world. [Amano joins the party!]
You know, the “dragons’” design is silly, but it grew on me. I like how derpy they look like.

Yeah Seras, sorry but you’re on the verge of collapse. I’m glad that Touka cast sleep on her - she’s a bit too honest for her own good, and understandably paranoid.

Kind of a “fluff” episode, it doesn’t progress the plot too much but still great to watch - with bits of worldbuilding (the tengu) and characterisation.
Love troubles going from Hakuro to Benimaru to Rimuru. Poor guys (and slime).

Even though you hold the position of Star Maiden… do you intend to persecute other races by calling them devils?
I laughed hard at this than I was supposed to. Oopsie, people not buying your bullshit? And holy fuck the verbal equivalent of Pina becoming a piñata.
Oopsie #2: trying to buy ingredients. Remilia already considered the possibility IIRC, but I don’t remember in which chapter.
