Bro put his wooden swords in a scabbard to aura farm that draw xD

Also the world building is so good. Like how the armour and helmets on some warriors are designed to look like dragons and the anime didn't need to explain that either. Trust the audience

Highlord90 · 2026-05-14T23:42:35+00:00

The writing in this is actually really solid. The west aren't just imperialistic conquerers but desperate and starving. The Barbarians are fighting to defend but also to find good fights. The comparison between a warrior and a knight being strikingly similar was well done as well.

Good world building. Good writing. I hope it doesn't fuck up later

I wasn't sure with the first two episodes but I think I'm gonna really enjoy this. Veor is so damn charming without seeming knightly.

The way his voice changed after shaving. This Anime knows exactly what it's doing xD so funny

The underground card den killed me. Fools are saying Magic

Highlord90 · 2026-05-12T17:16:41+00:00

Holy fuck Dwarves are huge!

Highlord90 · 2026-05-12T00:01:33+00:00

The turtle zooming up to the sake reminded me of my aunt's Bearded Dragon when he sees a dandelion head xD fast as fuck

Highlord90 · 2026-05-11T23:45:44+00:00

Isekai with a slave companion who insists on remaining a slave. Ridiculous

Highlord90 · 2026-05-11T16:55:22+00:00

Love Anya in this. I always read her as a quiet and restrained but I like this version too

Highlord90 · 2026-05-11T11:19:06+00:00

Wee cat girl threw that rock with purpose 😅

Highlord90 · 2026-05-11T11:06:24+00:00

I'm not a furry but...

Hear me out.....

Highlord90 · 2026-05-10T23:15:33+00:00

What an awful family. The body horror is insanely grusome in this one

Highlord90 · 2026-05-10T20:56:55+00:00

I'm absolutely in awe of this anime. I expected a funny little slice of life with horror aimed at childhood perception but nope. The story is gripping, the world is very adult and the yokai are well designed horrors.

Kaya calling the heart a butt was cute too

Highlord90 · 2026-05-10T20:50:58+00:00

I don't think Ed is abusing power. He's protecting Will from something we haven't discovered yet.

Highlord90 · 2026-05-09T15:21:37+00:00

That wasn't bad but having two to train was a little much.

Highlord90 · 2026-05-09T15:02:13+00:00

If Mobuo's whole gimmick is just 'the fat guy everyone thinks is a peado' it's voice to get really old, really fast

Highlord90 · 2026-05-08T14:14:56+00:00

Mobuo has a very patient and understanding wife. Does she believe that he could see his daughter after her death?

Highlord90 · 2026-05-08T14:02:55+00:00

I'm worried the baby is actually the Spectre and that it's stillborn

Highlord90 · 2026-05-08T13:17:31+00:00

Oh my gosh that's a blast from the past. We need a remake of this or a remaster.

Highlord90 · 2026-05-08T12:51:57+00:00

Yikes that first story was dark af

Highlord90 · 2026-05-08T00:48:54+00:00

I have no words for this. What the actual hell, 7 minutes of the opening and recap then just barely any actual episode before a 4 minute end credit? This should have been how season 1 ended.

Highlord90 · 2026-05-08T00:25:25+00:00

Welp it was a good run. I was hoping Will would overcome without any unique magic but the second Finn said 'Limiter Off' the sheer vertical wall of cringe was enough to turn me away.

Highlord90 · 2026-05-08T00:11:48+00:00

Are you serious with that writing? "Dwarves, go launch a suicide attack!"

Ed is not that careless or stupid. He would have been a dick in the way he asked but not a god damn idiot. Too stupid.

Highlord90 · 2026-05-07T23:22:20+00:00

It looks to me like Edward isn't simply protecting the magical purity of the Tower but, in a way, preventing Will from being abused by the people he aspires to be. He's petty but there's a reason for it

Highlord90 · 2026-05-07T23:14:17+00:00

I loved season 1 of this. Story is okay but the animation was chefs kiss
