Elvenoob2026-01-16 04:26

On the other hand, with that sword, Flum's practically immune to becoming a Katawa Shoujo character ;p

hasanman62026-01-15 17:27

That was more gruesome than i was expecting

pandavova2026-01-15 17:37

Same. Which is surprisingly good.

HeihachiHayashida2026-01-15 23:34

Yep, this series is all about insane body horror. Luckily it has yuri to balance it out

blueteamk0872026-01-17 03:29

This series having insane body horror juxtaposed with a wholesome sapphic relationship is kinda brilliant

Emi_Ibarazakiii2026-01-16 00:59

Chopping your own arm is quite something!

I thought she would try to do it quick (so no time to think about it), but no, slowly cutting it...

[](#terror)

HolyDragSwd25002026-01-16 02:15

Rotating arm…but then she cut off her arm 😭

Aerodynamic412026-01-15 17:30

You mean Flum was the one thing keeping the Hero's party together?!

\*pretends to be shocked\*

Luck_Is_My_Talent2026-01-15 17:51

It's less about Flum being the glue and more about Jean being the worst coworker ever.

AnyHuckleberry62642026-01-15 19:25

she was not Glue, she was the punching Bag, the Sage one is the one you don\`t like to work with, but you have to and as long as he has his eyes on her, the others could do their work. Now she is missing they get his Antics

AlphaBreak2026-01-16 01:37

Well that and the usual "what do you mean my life got worse when I got rid of the person who handled all of my daily needs and administrative tasks?"

Nachtwandler_FS2026-01-15 18:53

It is more like she kept the party from wanting to kill Jean.

But yerah, as a few other series showed us already, it is a dumb idea to kick someone handling the mundane parts of the party life like cooking or logistics.

But seeing how many modern companies kick key employees in hope to replace them with AI or someone with minimal training, it is not just fantasy villains being dumb.

jonjonaug2026-01-15 18:57

>But seeing how many modern companies kick the key employees in hope to replace them with AI or someone with minimal training, it is not just the fantasy billians being dumb.

Jean is basically just a fantasy techbro.

With crunchyroll being a prime example, just how many subs have they screwed up this week?

Nachtwandler_FS2026-01-15 21:46

None of the subs I watched had any glaring issues. If you hate CR that much, it is you probkem.

Yay2952026-01-15 22:22

"The Invisible Man and His Soon-to-Be Wife" doesn't have English subtitles still six hours after release.

Nachtwandler_FS2026-01-15 22:50

Not watching that one, so no idea. Watching 8 series at CR currently, the only complaint I saw is people not liking OnK translation being not literal enough.

mmcjawa_reborn2026-01-15 21:51

I feel like this anime does a much better job of justifying the "kick the MC from the party" theme than most. It makes more sense to kick out the person with zero adventuring abilities beyond "home-making" and who could potentially be murdered by a low level kobold than to kick out the healer or support person, which is what happens in so many of these type of shows do.

And it's not like the Sage even has a logical reason...he just thinks he will have a better chance to get into the pants of the party member he has the hots for.

Falsus2026-01-16 03:27

I think the party could have managed fine without Flum, like it would have been way less convenient to not have someone take care of food and supplies and so on, but they could manage. Like they don't seem bothered by some gamey meat, unlike Mr Sage and his kiddy taste buds.

The surpuss Jean on the other hand? Yeah he is a negative alright.

yuriAngyo2026-01-16 07:00

Yeah, on their own I think losing Flum would be a net positive. Even though they lose the good food and housekeeping, the morale boost from not having to split focus between actually fighting the enemy vs making sure the 0 stat girl doesn't get killed in 1 glancing hit (either by an enemy or even some accidental blowback from an ally) would more than make up for it imo. Even cyrill, she'd miss the company from a girl her age but I'm sure if they had a proper separation and promise to keep in touch once she's back it'd be fine.

Issue is Jean being a whiny bastard, they probably didn't even realize just how whiny he is when flum was there to absorb 99% of his prissiness. Flum took all his whining and kept his morale up so it didn't affect anyone else, but now his whole unfiltered spoiled child personality is effecting everyone else at full power. They lost an escort quest but in exchange gained a party member being the pissiest, whiniest bastard 24/7 AND having to do all the housekeeping for themselves + his brat ass who definitely doesn't do shit.

ChoiceSupermarket2302026-01-15 17:32

This anime has potential, I wonder what will happen next

diacewrb2026-01-15 21:01

Hoping for a follow up on the church sending knights to investigate that dead slaver and finding out that Jean sold Flum.

I wouldn't be surprised if her power is the only thing to defeat any curse the Demon Lord can dish out.

If Flum is the real hero of the group, then they are going to town on Jean for fucking up so badly.

YdenMkII2026-01-15 17:38

"How pathetic that none of you can cook"

Why doesn't he do the cooking himself then?

Nachtwandler_FS2026-01-15 18:50

He is to important for it, don't you get it.

Emi_Ibarazakiii2026-01-16 01:01

- "We should hire someone to cook for us, then"
- "Ok, but what if they can't fight, cooking's all they do?"
- "That's fine!"

basuga_BFE2026-01-16 22:39

"You can find some slave for cooking, maybe..."

mekerpan2026-01-15 20:47

That party's sage is totally wrecking it.

mmcjawa_reborn2026-01-15 21:48

The party seems like they are getting really close to trading him in for a even powerless Flum.

I actually DO want to see her make nice with the party. Unlike a lot of these anime they mostly seem like good people, other than the Sage who can indeed roll over and die

Zeikos2026-01-16 07:56

> other than the Sage who can indeed roll over and die

I am eventually expecting the reversal of Flum telling that to the Sage.
Flum doesn't seem the type of person that would spare him after what he did.

cornonthekopp2026-01-16 04:24

He's one social media addiction away from being an incel

ObvsThrowaway51202026-01-15 17:39

Damn dude, first real fight after that dungeon and it’s against a werewolf chimera. Flum’s playin on hard mode or something. I’m impressed she managed to finally wreck that thing.

I’m really rooting for Flum and Milkit. That shit Dein didn’t seem too pleased to see they completed the quest and her old party seems to be crumbling without her. Things are looking up. I’m just worried about that dead werewolf cursing her…

savish2026-01-15 17:41

I mean - technically you should be more worried about it _blessing_ her. A curse would be perfect.

YdenMkII2026-01-15 18:13

I'm curious on the extent of her reversal passive come to think of it. So far the show has only shown it only affects stats that come from equipment and at the very least that poison or whatever wasn't reversed and forced her to cut off her own arm to prevent it from spreading.

Nachtwandler_FS2026-01-15 18:55

Cannot spoil anything, but it will be addressed soon.

heimdal772026-01-15 19:34

In theory she could be the ultimate magic face tank. Every spell cast at her could be reversed into something good canceling the dmg if it went that far. It would be a hell of a thing to have if you were fighting say a demon king.

Jegantha2026-01-15 20:46

Obviously the were-chimera's curse was supposed to twist her arm clockwise. Her ability reversed it to a counterclockwise twist which doesn't really help in the grand scheme of things...

Hitman71282026-01-15 17:56

Flum vs. the werewolf felt like a Dark Souls boss. Hopelessness and outmatched in stats, and it even resurrected when Flum sliced it in half. It wasn't easy looking at her left arm being twisted in such a painful manner (when something from the werewolf got in it) and then Flum having to lop it off with her sword. Good thing she emerged triumphant!

That hug between Flum and Milkit. Yuri meter increases!

Also, whenever Gadhio talks, I can't get Kiryu Kazuma out of my head (yeah, they have the same VA and the same applies to pretty much all his roles)

ChapinThrowaway2026-01-15 20:13

> then Flum having to lop it off with her sword.

Flum is metal. "This thing has way better stats but I can regenerate to fuck it let's go."

Proceeds so slice off her arm with only a second or two of hesitation.

yukiaddiction2026-01-16 02:59

One thing that I really like is that the power doesn't make her OP that why she has to adapt thefighting way.

That cursed sword only made her survive mortal blow but have awful stats so she has to do something that normal people definitely don't want to do and win (like even if you can't die, it is still hurt).

Falsus2026-01-16 03:57

I would say her regen is pretty OP, it is just that the rest of her is so weak that instead of letting her steam roll her enemies it just stops it from being an instant game over.

georgeoswalddannyson2026-01-16 19:25

> I can regenerate to fuck it

Spicy

kalirion2026-01-15 20:36

I'm curious how Flum knew how to fight so well. Even if she got some training, how much physical combat training could she have actually done with 0 stats?

KnightKal2026-01-15 20:44

it is not like she is trading sword blows with a master swordsmaster. All she did was jump around the monster and try to hit from behind, using her buffed physical stats.

she is not stupid, but that doesn't mean she is a skilled fighter. She just showed good survival instincts.

kalirion2026-01-15 20:51

She analyzed the monster's attack patterns, jumped in time to avoid attacks, she blocked, she attacked, when a blocked blow sent her flying she landed on her feet. That all takes skill, not just pure stats.

KnightKal2026-01-15 21:19

if she was a normal person on Earth, maybe.

she has enhanced strength, dexterity/agility, etc. What you see as acrobatics are just normal for her because of those stats you so easily dismissed it.

she was not fighting someone that had skill with a weapon, or as fast/faster than she was, etc. The monster was doing basic movements and just had higher strength. She was simple faster.

kalirion2026-01-15 21:27

Again, enhanced stats alone do not make you able to perform acrobatics without any practice. And while she's no swordmaster, she was also using the sword as a sword, not a club as someone without any sword skills would. The sword throw she made from a distance was perfect as well. None of these are something that pure stats alone would explain.

If you want an example of pure stats, no skill, there's Saitama. Notice that we've never seen him perform acrobatics, but we *have* seen him fail to swat a regular mosquito-sized mosquito.

Kuro_Canary2026-01-15 21:47

Do you not remember Saitama killing that crab monster before he even became a hero? He had no training in that scene. In a stats based world training isn't as important. Like in D&D how you have a higher chance of landing a backflip if you have higher Dexterity. Your DM isn't going to say "Well you never practiced doing back flips before so you automatically fail."

kalirion2026-01-15 22:17

He didn't perform any acrobatics to kill that crab monster. He just rushed it and pulled out its eye stalks.

Kuro_Canary2026-01-15 22:20

He literally does a hand spring over Crab Man's head and had enough strength to pull out all his innards with a single pull. Yet never had any training.

kalirion2026-01-15 22:39

Ah, maybe he did some gymnastics in high school.

Meander0612026-01-16 04:56

She paid attention to the heroes as they worked. Learned what to do and when to do it. I'm also thinking that the Cursed Sword of Evil is giving her buffs up to her 995 stat.

mekerpan2026-01-15 20:46

And it looks like that "werewolf" isn't dead yet? (or was brought into being and is now being brought back by some other entity who is out to destroy Flum).

SecretEmpire_WasGood2026-01-15 23:16

Got me thinking that it might be something infecting, or possessing, the werewolf that gave it those properties.

Eckish2026-01-16 01:02

I figured the werewolf bite would be a curse that she would somehow reverse in her favor. Looks like that might still be a possibility with the werewolf still being alive.

Saffyr2026-01-16 08:54

It was called a Chimera on it's stats screen so it's gotta have some resident evil style mutation properties.

MasterAyy2026-01-15 23:09

I decided to check the show out after seeing your Dark Souls boss comment and I wasn't disappointed. I do love these grimy, dirty, kinda edgy dark fantasy settings.

Hitman71282026-01-16 02:45

Yeah, the werewolf's second form reminded me vaguely of the Deep Accursed (i.e. that fucking lion spider mini-boss on the ceiling of Anor Londo)

rubslotiononitsskin2026-01-16 02:16

Flum Tiger Drop when?

Flum didn't have to chop off her arm when she should have just chugged down 100 Staminans in a nanosecond.

Magnafeana2026-01-15 17:57

Headbanging yuri time, let’s go 💃🏾🫨

If Dein and his crew die, I wouldn’t be sad.

My paranormal/supernatural romances told me werewolves make for nice partners, but I don’t think these are the werewolves they meant.

*Holy shit* that slice was so vivid.

This is giving Princess Mononoke with the mama wolf god’s head. “Cut off a wolf's head and it still has the power to bite”.

Yuri casts ✨Inspiration.✨

It was *super* effective! 💃🏾🏳️‍🌈

Milkit deserves the world.

**These girls deserves the world.**

I am belatedly realizing the titles are also from The Tao ☯️.

Hero’s party unraveling when a member is banished will never not be both sad and funny. Sad because of how it affects everyone outside of the fuckass and the banished member was mainly nonmaliciously taken for granted. Funny because the fuckass still won’t get their way after all their little insidious scheming.

I hope the receptionist at the guild eventually becomes somewhat of an ally.

The girl whose special ability is to take cursed items and make them into blessed items (for her) has taken a badly scarred, traumatized, and helpless girl under her wing. Looking forward to Milkit mastering some really OP powers like "kuudere stare".

ThreeDMK2026-01-15 18:38

Not sure why this isn't getting as much attention, I have enjoyed it a lot and have it slotted in my top three so far this season along with Sentenced to be a Hero and Death Game. All three now have me really anticipating what will happen next.

bakaa_ningen2026-01-15 19:41

Sadly it's being treated as your average fantasy action gore anime, well honestly if you remove the yuri element then it kinda feels that way for sure.

But screw everyone, I'll take every yuri anime possible, and gore action fantasy yuri is damn rare, I wonder if it's the first such anime.

Also the death game is a really underated gem, can't wait for the next episode

hbmonk2026-01-15 20:49

I wouldn't have watched without the yuri lol

Western_Promise30632026-01-16 00:43

same tbh

bakaa_ningen2026-01-16 03:45

Lol yeah same

BosuW2026-01-15 20:25

Bloated season + generic first episode + Female main character and Yuri (this is actually unappealing to a good portion of both the general audience and the usual market audience of this genre because they're idiots, see for example: _The Executioner and her Way of Life_ )

In summary, tough crowd

Ratemytinder222026-01-17 03:49

Executioner was great and anyone who's says otherwise is a clown lol

I know it will never get a S2 but it deserves it.

kalirion2026-01-15 20:38

Out of curiosity, have you tried Journal with the Witch?

ThreeDMK2026-01-15 20:53

I have! I’ve enjoyed it as well, rated 8.2/10 on my AniList. Ep1 was very well done, I like the style they went with. Gives me kids on the slope vibes.

Komi0282026-01-15 18:47

Flum is playing Dark Souls, yes. And I'm intrigued about who made that chimera and that cliffhanger, I heard the plot gets really good, so looking forward to it.

kalirion2026-01-15 20:37

Does that make Chimerawolf the tutorial boss?

Queue_Jumping_Quack2026-01-15 18:50

That chimera was pretty cool monster, and very creepy. I still hate the use of the stat mechanics though, so unnecessary...

I also hope they will quit with the slave thing, since I am liking Flum and Milkit's interactions otherwise.

Komi0282026-01-15 20:04

It's super extremely rare to have any yuri show get a couple in which one of them calls the other "Master", hetero shows get that all the time, let's not take it away from this one. This season we even got 2 shows that do it.

yuriAngyo2026-01-15 21:43

Tbh I kinda like it. It's clear flum doesn't actually see milkit as a slave, but is just going along with it in order to keep her around. Not the healthiest way to handle it of course, but it's an interesting dynamic with flum going turbo "I can fix her" mode while not really understanding exactly the kind of brain worms that have been cultivated in milkit's mind by her shit life. And of course nuclear codependency potential here

Shmappii2026-01-15 19:00

"So, you want us to animate an Eldritch Spiral Werewolf Abomination fighting a lone swordsman that ends up falling with a bunch of ruins collapsing?"

"Yes, here's five dollars and a McDonald's coupon. It's due in a week."

This studio is doing seriously good work for the level of resources they've been assigned. I'd love for this story to get a bunch of money, but seeing a group of people working on it do their best still feels great.

yuriAngyo2026-01-15 21:35

Yeah, sucks the action isn't as good as it could be but I'm willing to trade some action frames for more detailed mangling/gore moments. It's just such a big part of the identity of this story and not super common in modern anime, it takes priority imo

Shmappii2026-01-15 21:46

One of their best decisions was to avoid showing the arm coming off and regenerating the first time. It set me up to think we wouldn't see anything that detailed and made me extra impressed when they showed both the second time around. That had to be intentional

Falsus2026-01-16 03:40

Yeah the story and setting is pretty good. If it had been given proper budget and time it would be insane. Like actually literal word insane, this story got some nasty stuff lol.

Obaruler2026-01-15 19:02

This is one of those "I feel sorry for those who already quit watching" kind of shows.

It has potential.

SetaSanzaki2026-01-15 21:38

It's kinda like "Banished from the Heroes' party", except instead of Red, we got that girl from "Fruit of Evolution" who had negative luck.

Sondaica2026-01-15 19:14

Oh, i really really like this Anime, one of the surprises of the season for me. It will be added to my watchlist.

heimdal772026-01-15 19:27

It is kind of funny that the OP has her with her face cut off seeing how she could literally just cutoff the part of her cheek with the brand and it would instantly regrow without the brand.

diacewrb2026-01-15 21:02

That slaver put special paint on it, guessing it will magically reappear even if someone scrubs it off or removes part of their face.

AsterJ2026-01-16 00:07

I don't know how magic it is, he didn't cast a spell or anything. I thought it was just a tattoo, he painted it on a wound.

And if there was magic ink in that world no one else can regenerate like Flum can so it makes no sense for this random idiot slave trader to use ink with counter measures to regeneration.

AceSoldia2026-01-15 19:28

Can do without the narration..and the fights also leave something to be desired but i look foward to watching her previous team fall apart..even if it doesnt seem to be all their fault..just the sage guy

CommanderZx22026-01-15 20:11

You have the exact same negatives as me, I wish the narration wasn't present. We have this quiet moment of them hugging while standing in the river, it could be almost seen as romantic and then this out of place narration comes over to ruin the moment...

I think that whoever is in charge of this anime does not know how to properly direct fight scenes. There's a lot of movement so I don't think it's a budget thing, but rather just inexperience on how to actually show people fighting.

djthomp2026-01-15 19:42

Even more handholding, and even some nice hugging, what a wholesome show. Ignoring the chimera werewolf, the slavery and abuse, the sage rightfully suffering from under marinated meat, etc.

No wait, that last one is wholesome too.

CommanderZx22026-01-15 20:07

This episode was a lot better than the first, but the animation could still be a lot better. I also wish they would get rid of the narration, it feels completely out of place and ruins quiet moments between the characters.

eggplant_avenger2026-01-15 20:07

she really got buffed with the power of yuri

BosuW2026-01-15 20:12

They shoulda released the first two episodes at the same time or a double length special if they had the chance. This episode showed a little bit more substance and specific appeal than the first.

I cringed when Flum cut her arm like fuck, if you gotta so it and it's gonna regenerate perfectly at least slam that fucker down why do it that slowly 😭

"Mustardo toxin" I wonder if she is referring to sulfur mustard, the colloquially named mustard gas. That's fucked up if so because not only can it cause severe chemical burns, but it is also a carcinogen and mutagen so even after surviving the initial attack you can still get fucked over for life.

Yeah sulfur mustard is a WW1 chemical weapon but that's in our world. Though this is a fantasy setting sometimes they incorporate more advanced technology or it could simply be produced as an effect of magic.

CommanderZx22026-01-15 20:13

Why doesn't she just cut the brand off her face, seeing as the skin will just regenerate almost instantly anyway?

famosoze2026-01-15 20:17

That was Weed?

The_Parsee_Man2026-01-15 21:49

I noticed that too.

helixu2026-01-15 23:11

definetly Japanese maple tree leaf

manquistador2026-01-16 00:16

I had a girl in high school very matter of factly tell me my picture was of weed, not one of the Japanese Maple trees that we had growing in our yard. I took the picture because I thought the resemblance was funny, but her just assuming that I had access to massive amounts of weed when it was still very illegal was also fairly amusing.

kalirion2026-01-15 20:35

Ugh that awful narration again.

Well, now we know that 995 total stats is about twice that of a regular adult werewolf, and just under the requirements for a C-Rank adventurer, so that's pretty good.

So she'd actually learned to fight quite well, and only her lack of stats was keeping her down? Or did the stats increase magically teach her how to fight well?

Splitting it in half the first time only made it stronger, why was the second time any different? Did it simply run out of phases? Oh, I guess Phase 3 takes a long time to form. Did she get no XP for killing the chimera because it's not actually dead?

Those gauntlets seem rather big for her. Are they also Epic grade and do they shrink to fit the user?

inb4 the nice guy who sold them food tries to murder and/or rape them in their sleep or something.

diacewrb2026-01-15 20:53

> Those gauntlets seem rather big for her. Are they also Epic grade and do they shrink to fit the user?

That is part of the curse, they shrink and feel too tight on people's hands. But in her case they fit just perfectly.

>inb4 the nice guy who sold them food tries to murder and/or rape them in their sleep or something.

He is a civilised Japanese person who got isekaied as evidenced by the t-shirts and good food he provides, unlike the magical European barbarians he is forced to live amongst.

I like the VA (Kikuko Inoue) who is doing the narration. Even if the amount of narration is a bit over the top, I think it gives this a fairy tale sort of feel.

I assume that all our heroine's cursed acquisitions will magically resize.

AdIcy79162026-01-15 20:58

Yeah, the Nice Inn Guy is sus as hell

yuriAngyo2026-01-15 21:46

I think what got the werewolf the second time was the massive bridge falling down on top of it. Even if it was alive after that, it's gonna take a while to get out from under there

flightlessCat92026-01-16 03:25

What I don't get is why do they need narration for the very obvious things that we can see on screen.

Also, so much internal dialogues. Its almost like they don't know how to turn a book into anime without reading out lines from the book.

NationalStrategy2026-01-15 20:50

I see that the Hero Party is now in the middle of the "You never know what you have until it's gone" stage of getting rid of the MC.

Falsus2026-01-16 03:48

Tbf, the party as a whole didn't get rid of her. Only Jean, and I don't think he is the reflecting kind of guy.

LeonKevlar2026-01-15 21:05

[Slicing your own arm off is pretty goddamn metal.](https://i.imgur.com/gbMkz6z.jpeg) Even if I knew that it's guaranteed to regenerate instantly, I don't think I'd be able to do that at all.

Astral projected yuri handholding, an undefeatable power

They're so yuri omg

Ok_Contest16392026-01-15 21:33

Arm started twitching after that amputation 😭

DocMcCoy2026-01-15 21:36

She conquered the monster with the power of yuri!

NanDemoKnaives2026-01-15 21:39

I wasn't expecting that really big guy to hug Dein like that, that was funny lol.

It's nice to see Jean already suffering from the consequences of his action. I hope the party keeps talking about Flum around him.

Meander0612026-01-16 05:05

>I hope the party keeps talking about Flum around him.

It's driving him crazy already. He's going to find her and (try to) murder her to death for good.

The_Parsee_Man2026-01-15 21:50

It appears Flum is Milkit's fifth master. That kid just can't hold down a job.

masterdarki2026-01-15 21:52

I nearly didn't find the thread because of the title 😅

This shapes up to be one of my favorite shows this season. I like the girl, she has guts. The pacing of both episodes was nearly perfect. Good times.

mmcjawa_reborn2026-01-15 21:58

I have a feeling this is going to fill my "Mynoghra" slot for this season, a pretty good story that deserves better animation. And less exposition. Holy hell, I haven't seen this much unnecessary exposition in anything outside a 50's B movie.

Anyway that was a unique monster fight with an ability I don't think I have ever seen before. Curious where this is going...Kind of sounds like Dein is being set up as a near future antagonist, since he seems interested in taking over the Slaver's business now that he is dead. Also...the mystery of why the church is investigating. I wonder if its to do with the cursed sword? Or maybe they found out Flum was there and were going to free her?

fuzzynyanko2026-01-15 22:00

I like this, though I'm hoping it won't become \*Spider-Flum. That werewolf is gruesome in many ways. I'm surprised that there actually they actually have a kingdom.

\* Please don't assume that everyone knows this, but Spider-Man's greatest villains is said to be his writers. They put that hero through hell. I just saw the 1994 cartoon, and based on that, I wouldn't be surprised if hell is involved in his life

aquaticshrimp2026-01-15 22:03

Man, Flum having to butcher her own arm was metal.

Milkit being exposed to something akin to mustard gas...

Geez, the people in this setting suck. But that's how a lot of people in the real world treat enslaved people...

ConjuredRaven2026-01-15 22:18

Way too many explanations where there doesn't need to be any. I was kinda hoping we would get a werewolf protag so this show could have some unique parts to it, but this is so far just shaping up to be an incredibly generic show. Will keep watching though because this show is very funny in how cliched it is and I do love me some yuri (could do without the slavery though).

Boshwa2026-01-15 22:19

*Characters act in an obvious way*

Narrator: "They acted this way because of this......"

Elvenoob2026-01-16 04:30

Yeah, that addition felt unnecessary. Sure the books are in a very close 3rd person personal perspective, but the anime let us hear their thoughts whenever it was important, so we were still easily able to infer everything the narrator said.

Emeraldpanda1682026-01-15 22:46

So like...can't Flum just cut off the skin of her cheek with the mark and heal it back up? Very obvious solution, no? Thank chunk of cheek won't kill her, even if she has to dig deep behind the branding.

Loving the show so far, I just can't help but think the writers overlooked such a simple solution, that even I thought of the second we learned she could heal her wounds.

Luck_Is_My_Talent2026-01-15 22:47

I will write the reason why she didn't remove the branding in the spoiler corner, but the reason is half stupid half wholesome.

Viktorv222026-01-15 22:52

What in Made in Abyss was that arm cut off scene? O_o

Also werewolfs merging into a gruesome monster? Can't say I have seen that before. Also their powers, it's not your usual rpg-like anime I guess

Muffin-zetta2026-01-15 23:02

That’s what I thought too.

Yesshua2026-01-15 23:08

The best part of this episode was Flum immediately understanding that she had been set up. If she stays guileless and just gets duped by every person she talks to then that formula wears real thin real fast.

The worst part of this episode is the dialogue between the two girls. They expect me to ship this? Bandage girl for two episodes has had zero thoughts beyond "I'm unworthy of good things" and "I shall serve you unquestioningly".

I do appreciate that when she was told to back away from the fight, she actually bailed and left the fight. I feel like 90% of the time when an anime character is told to retreat they don't because they're stupid.

GirlOfSophisticTaste2026-01-16 00:00

Is it just me or did the animation quality actually bump up a little this episode?

The church seem unusually interested in the death of a slave trader. I wonder if it's related to Flum?

I like that we're getting flashbacks to Flum's time in her old party, that were actually good or useful. Highlights that some people were even nice to her. (Way better than a lot of other kicked from the party anime that make everyone from the party of the same note.)

Holy shit, someone actually obeying when told to run away??

God, that werewolf is so freaky. Especially when it comes back with multiple limbs

I really hope more people find this anime. The budget may be low but the story and passion are there.

Paraxom2026-01-16 00:32

yuri + body horror is definitely a choice of series, also couldn't she just cut off the brand? it would hurt like hell to have your face mutilated obviously but with instant regen she could be free of that scar.

Joji10002026-01-16 02:33

GL + "Jesus christ I'm in a terrifying position and I need to fight as hard as I can for survival" type action = an oddly nice pairing

Raymond490902026-01-16 03:06

Man, that's really rough. The gore is a bit cartoon-ified, but her screaming as she cut off her arm still made me avert my eyes from how gruesome it felt.

And I think it's a good sign that she still trusts the advice of the party members that were nice to her? Maybe internally, she has some idea that it was just the Sage (lol) who lied to her.

Wonder if Miltk is going to get her face healed, or if it's going to stay as a facial disfigurement that's actually disgusting to look at. On one hand, it would feel like a cop-out of external healing is used to internal acceptance, but at the same time it's not like I want her to continue hating her face (plus you know, cute girls are nicer to look at and all - maybe that makes me shallow, but whatever).

Nice to see that the Sage (lol) is the only one malding because he's the one who wasn't thinking of Flum at all when he kicked her out, while the other party members actually saw her as a person, appreciated what she did for them, and still let her go because they wanted what's best for her. It's also funny (in a weird way) to think that the party falling apart implies that Flum was the one keeping the peace when the Sage (lol) was being abrasive (I'm assuming that the other party members get along decently since they seem like alright people).

Wow, they didn't even try to hide at all that they sent the two on a suicide mission. Like, either they're lying and know they tried to kill them and might have some plans for that, or they're not lying and they're getting stomped. Sure, there's the possibility that they're just terrified little girls, but is it really worth the risk? Douchery trumps intelligence I guess.

Uh, that's not ominous at all!

NinokuNANI2026-01-16 04:49

How is this series simultaneously gnarly and gruesome and hell, but also extremely wholesome?

I might be locked in.

machopsychologist2026-01-16 04:59

Eh the direction is quite meh... voiceover narrator and the constant voicing out their inner monologues doesn't help. And the stat point scoring comparisons made it sound like a shonen. Absolutely hate it (7 deadly sins was particularly bad, and that weird one about people with points tattooed on their bodies) Awkward animations as well.
