Fair enough. That cat girl was initiated by him. But that makes it a 5 to 1 ratio. And I didn’t get the impression that she wasn’t in a position where she couldn’t simply say “no” when she really didn’t want to play that role.

I like it. I love the derpy design and I can’t wait to have those cute characters come up with fucked up traps to kill human adventurers. This is my favorite till now.

She doesn’t get Touka’s ability right, does she? She was talking about low accuracy, but apparently at least Paralyse hits true all/most of the time.

Well the title of this is "I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything With Low-Level Spells”, so she obviously didn’t get it right. The title already spilled the entire plot. She should have put more attention to her warding items actually going off when MC tried his skills on her. Saying more would be

oh boy, how do I hate those edgy characters and shows. Everyone is evil for the sole sake of showing off how good the MC iis in comparison. And you already know that that one Tenshi-type girl will be a love interest for MC’s harem. To me this is another one of those wanna-be-edgy shows that give me ulcers from second-hand cringe.

I was sceptical on the premise but I think I actually like this a lot. I am unsure though how long this gimmick alone can carry the narrative before I grow tired of it. I hope there will be more to this than just this one dynamic.

I did not get that at all to be honest. Like 0%. To me that was just playful flirting by both sides and clearly innitiated by her to begin with.

She’s played a really wide range of characters so it’s fun to see her in a role that does… exactly that.

She impressed me with her performance. The last time I was impressed by a VAs range was Yuuki Aoi’s double role in Boogiepop.

Some unsorted thoughts I had watching the first episode:

• I don’t remember Aqua being so edge-lord-y. At least I wasn’t annoyed by him in the first season but here I (slightly) am.
• How old is this Himekawa character? With the stubble, he looks like 30-somethings are often depicted in anime, and I’m uncomfortable with him trying to get close to Kana.
• I liked how they conveyed the impact the “good acting” had on others during the rehearsal. I thought that was a visually stunning and elegant way to bring that plot point across. Too bad that they had to go and have the characters talk about it extensively as well. It’s show and tell. But I can excuse it somewhat as it is at least relevant to their motivations, but eh… I just wish they would not spell everything out and trust in the viewer’s emotional intelligence to pick up on it anyway.
• Not a fan of OP and ED songs. Both were absolute bangers in season 1, so I was hoping season 2 would deliver as well.

I liked the first half of the show a lot more than the latter. The direction it took towards the end took out all the originality of the early episodes and turned it into just generic idol drama.

That gives me hope. Honestly, if not for the OP I would have dropped it midway through.

I don’t have any particular thoughts on her voice though. She sounded a bit “robotic” but it’s about what I’d expect here. I guess her voice will shift slowly toward the more natural spectrum as she grows more human over time. The same for her expression. At least that’s what I would do if I had a say in the production.

Incredible last episode. The OST for the epic moment was the best I’ve heard this season and I give this episode a full 10/10. With the overall series getting a 9/10. I would have also loved to see a 14th episode with just comfy everything is alright vibes to cap it off.

Holy wow… MC is hard to watch. OP is by Tokino Sora so I want it to become a hit, but I don’t know if I can warm up to that type of MC.

There absolutely had to be a naked kid for no plot reason at all other than to pacify the pedos. Two scenes later it’s back to fox form as if nothing ever changed. I’m so sick of this shit in anime.

How many episodes in a row was that now with just people sitting around a table talking?

I interpreted that Mutsumi sees Jiro as something akin to a replacement for her missing Dad. But the wording of this episode about responding to her feelings gives me Usagi Drop PTSD. I really enjoy this series and don’t want to live in constant fear that this turns into something like that.

I was under the impression that the yokais were only living in that village but this episode we see them everywhere. I’m not too fond of the man in black and a demon lord though. It takes away from the mystical yokai setting and brings the series into chuuni fantasy.

I found the “it got viral” shout endearing when there were barely any comments. It really shows that the girls are starting from scratch.

Okay, hear me out. I have a theory:

I don’t know if I’m a genius or if I’m slowly going mad here.

The setting has so much potential to break out of the confines of “normal” storytelling, yet you could see the culprit coming from a mile away.

Also, does anyone understand why turning young doesn’t kill her anymore? Is it because the source is no different?

I disklike plots where everything could be resolved if one person would just say what they saw or heard. A simple “Yo, I just heard them talking about how they want to assimilate us into their weird mushroom tribe” would have solved everything.
