4 minutes into the episode and we get the scene I was waiting for… Bilac totally freaking out at the Gold Crystal Scorpion Parts
One picture isn’t nearly enough to convey how shocked Bilac was. She actually dies from shock and now Sunraku doesn’t have an ancient craftsman anymore, hence the “Despair” in the episode title.
Okay, just kidding. Bilac’s fine. The aforementioned “Despair” is because Sunraku cannot equip any of the sci-fi armor in the Inventoria due to Lycagon’s curse mark.
It makes me wonder if Bilac might make Sunraku a sci-fi helmet or something. Either way, Sunraku is super bummed out about not being able to use sci-fi suits in SLF. To get over it, he does the next best thing: plays another game with Sci-fi suits!
For an isekai, it’s amazing how many different games we see in aside from the titular Shangri-La Frontier. I’m sure some piece of information from Nephilim Hollow will become relevant to SLF.

Recalling Subaru’s arguably lowest point right before the speech was brilliant
I liked that too. I feel like Julius was saying, “you talked a bunch of shit but then actually made it happen.”

I thought they were going to bring in bard girl to sing and lift everyone’s spirits, but I thought this worked better.
I was thinking that too initially, but you’re right. This definitely worked better.
What happened to “Don’t tell the Sin Archbishop your name?”
I’m guessing Gluttony has to know the name and face of the person to eat their existence. Subaru’s name is already well known so just saying it again shouldn’t be a problem.

Only ONE female character on the poster? Seems suspicious.

I forgot how amazing that original scene was. And this is freaking HILARIOUS and AMAZING. I can’t wait for the fansubs and the official dub.

It’s funny because you can tell when an anime is from a Japanese light novel or not based on the length of the title.
Solo-Leveling: Korean LN
True Beauty: Korean Webtoon
Blue Lock: Manga
A Sign of Affection: Manga
Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon: My Trusted Companions Tried to Kill Me, But Thanks to the Gift of an Unlimited Gacha I Got LVL 9999 Friends: Light Novel
Banished from the Hero’s Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside: Light Novel
My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me!: Light Novel
IIRC it’s because the dominant Japanese light novel website doesn’t do descriptions well so the authors make the title the description.

- Comment on Demon Lord 2099 • Maou 2099 - Episode 6 discussion 10 hours ago:
Most of the episode is the fight between Kinohara (in prototype gen 5 mecha armor) and Gram.
We learn a few important bits of information here. First, Kinohara cannot hack Gram. I’ve long suspected it, but this is further proof that Gram, like Veltol, does not have a Familia. Second, only Gram knows about Veltol’s ultimate power trump card.
Marcus continues to be evil just for the sake of being evil and lists off a bunch of faceless immortals that were previously sacrificed to the Immortal Furnace. He also apparently sent mecha-troops to kill both Gram and Kinohara for extra evil points.
The after credits scene has Marcus tossing Machina into the Immortal Furnace. You know, because apparently Spartan-kicking immortals into the furnace is all that is required to use them as fuel. Machina actually does a pretty sweet little speech where she imparts her last words towards Veltol in her mind before aforementioned Demon Lord saves her at the last possible moment.
It’s barely going to be episode 7 and we’re already getting the showdown between Marcus and Veltol. It really makes me wonder what’s going to happen next.
- Comment on Mecha Ude: Mechanical Arms • Mecha-ude (TV) - Episode 7 discussion 11 hours ago:
Glad to see Hikaru has some new bodyguards, but they don’t seem all that more helpful than what he already had in terms of… anything tbh.
His new bodyguards are comical. I found it funny when the leader of ARMS was like, “I can’t have you helping… you’re a civilian.” And I was just like, “And how are all these other misfits any different?”
I hadn’t really thought about it, but if the Mecha-ude can’t normally move without a human it’s extremely unclear how they ever lasted in their own world.
Not that the story makes much sense at all, but the best interpretation I have for this is that Arbitrium (or whatever it’s called) existed naturally on their world but the Mecha-Ude eventually consumed it all and were unable to make more. Humans produce their own Arbitrium in excess so they’re able to give it to Mecha-Ude that derize with them.
But then Alma comes along and breaks all that by being able to make his own Arbitrium somehow.

Oh yeah, the pharmacy one. Also the candy chef. Background mob. What else is there…?

I gave it 3 episodes but it just didn’t do it for me. I liked the first episode but after that it got boring for me real fast. Buuuut I like that it exists, if only because it’s cool to isekai everything.

I love the spider one. The misdirect in the anime was well done. It gave enough hints without spelling it out.
- Comment on Mecha Ude: Mechanical Arms • Mecha-ude (TV) - Episode 7 discussion 2 days ago:
Feels like a whole lot of nothing happens this episode. Although I wasn’t expecting a Chunibyo with a Chaingun.
Alma recovered his memories after the fight with Amaryllis which causes him to have an mental health crisis so he abandons Hikaru. And by the way, Alma has magically acquired the ability to operate on his own now by getting his memories back.
We get a little backstory that shows Alma and Fist with the Kagami brothers. They try to wake up Ordela only for things to go horribly wrong as it starts attacking everyone. Real Master Hand from Smash Bros vibes.
In the process of shutting down Ordela’s rampage, Yakumo dies. Alma gets PTSD and goes dormant.
Back in the present, Alma gets noogies from Jun. It’s really important for the plot. Trust.
Hikaru gets a pep-talk from Aki and decides he’s going to help Alma. Episode ends with the big bad trying to open Ordela again.
