Seasonal death counter: 3 (+0, Subaru is on a roll!)

Poor Garfield just can’t stop losing! Subaru had some pretty gruesome deaths but Garfield is the one who is constantly getting the despair this season. It wasn’t enough that all the archbishops decided to show up, one of them happens to be a fucking dragon! One with ultra-speed regeneration, no less. Even the basic faceless cultists are no joke!

The teacher explained it in this panel:

Being able to call lightning requires the power to manipulate clouds to make lightning, which happens to also let you manipulate the weather somewhat. She’s been slowly drawing in the clouds and the typhoon so it arrived earlier than expected and thus goes away before the festival.

Kaguya-sama: Love is War. The manga itself is great but reading it live and discussing it on the old site elevated the experience even more. While I wasn’t the biggest fan of the ending, everything else was just so good it’s hard for me to give it anything but a 10.

Seasonal death counter: 3 (+0, no deaths this episode - good job Subaru!)

Four witch cultists at once! And all the Royal Selection candidates just happened to be invited at the same time, huh? No conspiracy present here, no sir! Poor Garf is dealing with some serious trauma, man was still working through his defeat by Elsa and now he finally found his mother only for her to completely forget him! At least he has an emotional support chibi catgirl for moral support.

Do it! It’s what I did while the anime was still airing after being disappointed with the human side of it and hearing from LN readers how much better it was in the source (it really is). The Light Novels are all released and translated too, so you can go through the entire thing without having to wait! (the pain of waiting for the next Overlord and Slime volume is almost enough to make me consider learning Japanese…)

We got an OP and an ED this episode and they are AWESOME! Best enjoy them while we can, if S2 was anything to go by we won’t be seeing them very often. Death counter is up to 3 now. I forgot how delightfully insane the archbishops of sin are. Poor Subaru not only barely has any time to plan with how close to Wrath showing up his “checkpoint” is, he has to deal with Greed as well! It sure looks like we’re gonna be going through plenty of resets!

It’s back! I finally managed to find enough time to watch the entire thing in one go, I didn’t expect them to drop an entire MOVIE LENGTH first episode on us like that! So much going on, so many plot threads. Poor Subaru almost managed to make it through the entire 1,5h without dying.

Oh HELL YES! With how successful the 1st season was, it was almost guaranteed we would get a sequel but it’s still nice to have an official confirmation now!

It’s over! 28 episodes and yet it flew by so fast! Perfect ending to a perfect anime. I would have to nitpick really hard to find something bad to say about it, this is exactly what a 10/10 looks like.

I hope Frieren’s last line applies to our goodbye with the cast as well. This is definitely my most-looking-forward-to-sequel-announcement anime.
