Barusu has had a hard time. I was kind of hoping/expecting for this arc to end on this episode, but that's more of an indication of my desire to see what happens next than anything else. In the end I liked having a more character focused episode instead of a plot focused one.

I think he is still going to die this round. He hosed up when he lied about knowing where the vases are, no way the red twin trusts him.

The best part of this episode was how obnoxious Subaru was being since he was forcing it thus making his already energetic personality dialed up to twelve and it was making him sick. I thought it was grating and painful to watch and I actually like Subaru a bunch. It did a drat good job on that front. :allears:

I feel like I should go back and watch the episode where he visited the village but I can't recall anything about it standing out that might have been a clue. Just a ton of kids clinging to him.

Yeah, that was really good. You could just tell he was trying really hard and being really annoying and everyone else just wanted him to shut the hell up. Thankfully, Emilia saved us all.

It's the dog that bit him when he was in the village, surely? I assumed he'd just got mysterious dog disease at the time but a curse makes more sense. Maybe.

The dog is a shaman.

I lol'd at 10:32 when the tiny witch's voice actress forgot to put on her cutesy voice and sounded like an actual human being for a second or so, before she caught herself and went up into "cutesy serious mode"

Wasn't that the Blue Twin that was there? Regardless, I think this suffices to justify her going to the village, so he isn't alone with her 'little sister'. I think that's the last death unless a serious new/old foe reappears out of the blue, they'll find the Shaman this round probably.

Loved the ep; this series has a good and solid grounding in psychology.

That reaction to the blind spell makes it seem like it may be far worse than just losing your sight. Wonder if it also messes with your other senses as well.

I think its meant to feel similar to the Witch's finagling; so Shadow to Shadow?

Beware the Cow





today's episode was pretty weird. It's not surprising that he's breaking down fast having died a bunch of times and seen others die as well. I totally called him having a shadow magic :v:

On another note, like I said earlier I'm keeping up with the colored words at the end because I'm curious if they're going to mean anything. Here's where we're at right now (episode 1 on left, 8 on right) The first color is actually a greyish purple, not grey. Today's color is pretty grey and the word is Cried. Sentence so far is: "Begin Witch Another Happy Promise of Chains Re Cried" It's looking more like there's nothing to it or there's a translation error. Leaning towards the former but hoping for the later. I'll keep at it because it's easy and I'm curious.

Potentially. That reveal did seem to be rather large amounts of foreshadowing, combined with what we learned about the witch in this episode.

A raccoon is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits.
Watching this there are extremely subtle foreshadowing for events that will happen in future arcs, this is so great. Not only can't I wait to hear who will be doing the voices of the characters of the next arc but I want to know when they will announce a second season already.

What's up with the "we've only met twice" bit at the beginning? I though Beatrice could remember Subaru? And it's not referencing other break time episodes either, because this is the first episode with her.

The first time he woke up in the mansion, noone was there. He stepped outside and ended up in the infinite hallway. He took a door at random and wound up in the library with Beatrice. He annoyed the poo poo out of her, she drained all his mana and he fainted again.

<RESET POINT>

He wakes up, and the maids (who presumably carried him back ot bed) are there to greet him / tease him / scare the poo poo out of him, depending on how many resets he went through.
