It's Time for Torture Princess was simply a SoL Gag Comedy with no plot this show was great for what it sought out to do. It's a show I know I was getting some feel good silly comedy that always felt refreshing. A great cast of character that I loved, and I am invested in waiting for S2.

With that being said if the no plot thing bothers you, you are better off watching something like Mashle.

The first two episodes of TenSura Episode centers on Riumuru's plan going forward after becoming a Demon Lord. He intends to go after Clayman, but the reveals from the villain's side are most intriguing.

It's good to see Riumuru actually put the pieces in figuring Yuuki is the one that sold him out to Hinata. But the big question is why he wants Hinata and Rimuru to fight. Adding more he seems to partner up with Demon Lord Kazalim whom was terrifyingly power before Leon eliminated him of sorts. Considering Clayman and the other henchmen serve Kazalim who are working alongside Yuuki. The real question is will Rimuru will be able to figure out what Yuuki's plans are before it's too late. But Yuuki being what appears as an antagonist is a nice twist.

Veldora is back in the flesh and he brings some S+ Tier comedy :mjlol:

But given how Gazeru refers to him as the Evil Dragon, it's hardly the shock the Western Church would consider him a threat. And churches have their absolutes. Gazeru doesn't share those absolutes and not to mention he knows Rimuru's true nature, and he can be trusted. But it seems obvious that Rimuru's squad will battle with the Western Church.

The information drop on Hinata is interesting as she differs greatly than Rimuru's first impression of her. Good-natured and well respected. It's hard to imagine someone with that reputation believing in absolutes. Clearly the issue being she believes Rimuru killed Shizue. But is this Yuuki's doing or is there another person manipulating things. Rimuru's promise to Shizue includes all of her students, Hinata included. So this comes as good news, but gaining her trust will be very difficult.

Demon Lord Valentine seems to have some involvement with the church and his presence in a fight against him would be a hindrance to Rimuru and crew.

Sengoku Youko Episode 12

We got the conclusion of our two fights. I am even scared to ask what Jinka actually did, but given Tama's reaction it was an incredible risk that just happened to help him. I do like the differences in how Jinka and Douren looked at the fight. Douren loved every minute of it, but Jinka found no pleasure in the fight.

Really nice to finally get a real good moment for Shinsuke as he finally takes down Barry finally. But I like that he understands he can't stop here, these injustice experiments are a cruelty and need to be dealt with. After all Shakugan wouldn't stand for it and neither should he. Although Shinsuke aerial ability is really strong now with the sword reaching "Enlightenment".

Of course Yazen will turn tail and run like a coward. Luckily the Mountain Goddess arrived in time to help. As expected Tama needs to stop her mom, and we get a fight between Jinka and Yazen. I am actually curious how Yazen does in this fight consider once Douren went down he immediately decided to retreat.

I think it was really cool when Shinsuke and Jinka reached the same conclusions that humans and Katawara's being the same. It ultimately comes down to who uses that power. Dangaisyuu being aware that this is the price for their greed. As they mentioned power isn't what they strived for it was to do good.

TenSura S2 Pt 2 Ep 6 highlights more world building with regard to the Demon Lords and what surrounds them. It's rather curious for a 2nd cour to be a more setup for what will occur in S3.

Here we are introduced to Demon Lords Guy Crimson and Leon Cromwell. It's made very clear alongside Milim, Guy Crimson are flat out the strongest Demon Lords. The slight comment that Leon would only beat Guy in 1 out of a million times, showcases the power difference he and Milim posses. But considering the respect Guy has for Leon as compared to Clayman whom he views as an insect, perhaps implies the difference in strength between a true Demon Lord and a regular one.

The other added part that is introducing is when Guy mentions he is no longer human. But when Leon went from being a Hero to A Demon Lord, did he also give up his humanity? And how?

The subject of Veldora being back, is a hot topic like it was back in Tempest. We do learn that the Silver hair woman is Veldora's older sister. So this is one reunion that would be most interesting. She mentions how Veldora is weak, but like Clayman this is not the case. We know Veldora is basically surpassing his aura/strength at the moment.

What is more interesting is Leon's theory is in fact spot on. While Rimuru's goal is to go after him, it is worth pointing out Leon will a tough one to go against in the future. He's clearly a man of both wits and strength unlike Clayman which the series has pointed out compared to the other Demon Lords he is weak.

Even more suggesting that Rimuru being capable of doing this would in fact rival Guy and Milim. We know Rimuru got a lot stronger, but being able to match up to Milim is remarkable considering the difference when those 2 first interacted.

As you would recall at the end of S1 Rimuru saved Shizue's students. We learn this directly interferes with Leon's plans. It seemed by saving them Rimuru killed the experiments that Leon was going after. Perhaps he was waiting for the students to die before conducting the experiment again? And the students who are now saved and under protection basically make it impossible to conduct the experiments? Or perhaps there is a 3rd party interfering.

One thing is for sure, Rimuru is putting his name out there and getting both Leon and Guy's attention. The question is it the type of attention Rimuru wants from these powerful figures? Granted he does want to go after Leon and get answers at him at some point so he can fulfill Shizue's wish.

Dungeon Meshi Episode 13

:whew: the episode really set the tone for the second half of the season. This show iseasily my most anticipated for Spring season. @LordDeathwatch @42 Monks Absolutely worth the binge to catchup.

Just when you think that Falin is rescued and the adventure is over you get this twist. It seems like the Dungeon Master was referring to her as a dragon of sorts? Does she look at Falin as a dragon because the Red Dragon ate her? We are actually getting into the meat and potatoes of this series.

You know the way Chilchuck reacted to everything is perfectly expected. Oh, we angered this powerful Dungeon Master, and we lost Fallin again. A force that is even beyond the Red Dragon how can we win? Well he could take a page out of Namari, but he clearly cares for his companions and doesn't want them to end up in a pointless death. At this point it seems like regrouping and figuring what to do next is the best plan. Don't give up on Fallin, but don't run charging without a plan.

I am assuming the Dungeon Master is whom they were referring to 2 episodes ago when we have some politics sprinkled in.

Oh okay, that's actually an interesting premise.:ehh:

I'll add it to the list, currently running through the source material for Solo Leveling in my free time.

The Weakest Tamer Episode 12

Here comes to an end to one of my biggest surprises of this winter season. I adored this show as it did such a great job at making you root for both Ivy and Sora. Also, it's an isekai that honestly doesn't appeal to isekai fans as it isn't a harem or power fantasy. But honestly how it utilizes the isekai aspect is really cool to me. Ivy has her former life giving her thoughts in her head, but the Ivy from this world is her own person entirely.

Ivy is one rich girl now lol. But the big thing here is that finally Ivy admits that she is starless. And seeing the support she got from everyone is so amazing. It gives you a smile to see how far she has come since the start of the season.

Man the part that Ivy and Sora were made for each other. Sora couldn't be tamed by anyone with 1 or more stars in taming. While Ivy couldn't tame monsters as they are too strong. Props to the show for sticking with the fact that she is starless. It makes the connection between Sora and Ivy so special. In fact, we see with how see wins over Ciel with kindness and is able to cook well. There is an effort factor with Ivy that is awesome to see.

The post credits was a great scene. It showcased how easily Sora's life could have ended. Thanks to running into Ivy he can continue living. Not to mention how much he has grown physically is funny as well. I hope Ivy tames more Slimes like Sora.


I will def read the Ln's eventually. Furthermore, I will miss this show a lot.
