During that whole planning sequence, everyone seems to have forgotten about Gluttony.
Gluttony eating his own name so they forget he exists.... clearly XD
Wow, you REALLY have to turn your brain off for this episode and just enjoy the mayhem.
"We won't fail" "Oh no, we failed!"
The fact that Jun's Brother seems to expect Ordela to go out of control makes me a LITTLE bit hopefully for some semblance of plot forming in the next episodes.
Some of the jokes were silly but enjoyable. Hikaru basically asking the bad guy to wait. Doc Glasses being slightly less useless. We even get more of the Chunibyo with a Chaingun! But the fights are the real reason this show exists at all.
How nice of Ordela to stop rampaging for all this other stuff to happen though, right?
I love this series! I've convinced so many people to watch it. It's just so good! And when Maomao goes cat mode... just perfection.
Okay, this episode brings back the awesome. Glad I decided to give it another episode.
Koga FINALLY becomes interesting. He realizes he's weak and has always been weak because he never stood up for himself not even once. He's still a puppy though, but now he's trying to be a wolf.
Also, turns out that Noel is part of Laughing Coffin! THIS IS ACTUALLY A DEATH GAME AND HE'S A PLAYER KILLER!
Okay, so not really. But damn if the talker "level up" icon isn't ominous.
Oh, good idea!
Look at you doing all the detective work once again!
made it all the way up to chapter 85 in this episode btw
Neat! How many chapters have been released total?
I think this series does the politics/negotiation side of things a lot better than the actual warfare. The tough thing about writing characters like Rosell and Mireille that are supposed to be geniuses is that they can really only be as smart as the author.
Very true. I was reading the Destiny's Crucible series (which is not a Japanese LN series... crazy, right?) and the author did a good job with this particular isekai because the MC is basically a smart Earthling placed down on a Medieval Times planet so he's constantly like, "I THINK this is how stuff like this works, but I'm not sure." It allows him to get things wrong. Unfortunately things got really boring in the 4th book and I haven't gone back to it.
But back to Aristocrat, the strength really is in the character development and political intrigue so I can let some tactical buffoonery slide. I mean, one battle basically boiled down to "My mage is better than your mage" so it's whatever XD
Haha, yeah. It's a big giveaway that something is adapted from a Japanese Light Novel when the title is a full on description. Oshi No Ko and Blue Lock are also a manga adaptations, so also normal titles. Fun times!
Anyway, I'll definitely have to check out the manga now!
That was a thrilling race, and this episode captured that suspense well.
Yeah, I think I would agree with you there. The race as a whole is absolutely thrilling. This episode wasn't BAD by any means, just nothing surprising happens. But hey, that's racing. And the conclusion is going to be mad epic.
No, women don’t think of anything except how to please their men… :-/ 😒
I remembered your words from last week the ENTIRE time. Bechdel Test Failure XD
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: ~~Armored Core 9~~ Nephilim Hollow.
For an isekai, it's amazing how many different games we see aside from the titular Shangri-La Frontier. I'm sure some piece of information from Nephilim Hollow will become relevant to SLF.
Be sure to watch the SLF Minis after the credits (there's two). They're both good, although the second one reminds me of a joke from How I Met Your Mother.
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 see catgirls, I like. I'm a simple man.

I need to go back and finish season 1. It's a ridiculous premise but I like the fact that the MC is actually trying to love all the girls.
