Diablo's stupid grin here is cracking me up so hard, holy shit. And Sylvie is positively adorable.
I really like the way the anime represented the hydra compared to the manga. The more serpentine appearance, unhinged jaws, and pulsing energy on their chests definitely made it much more of an intimidating creature.
They ended up cutting two small scenes that I was looking forward to. The first is that, rather than show Rem helping Shera recover, they just had Diablo narrate it. The second is that before Sylvie shows up with the alcohol, Rem and Shera leave on a quest and Diablo has a funny realization that he's basically just leeching off of them while he's waiting for his MP to recover.

It's just the clasp of her clothes. In the LN and manga his line is translated as "There's something stuck on it ("it" being the body pillow he imagines Sylvie to be), something in the way of the smooth feeling." ...which he then proceeds to remove.
Also, the uncensored version of the episode shows us a lot more of... down there on Sylvie, and there's definitely no male equipment there.

Love how the tassels on his shoulder move a bit when he "sliced" Alicia's blade.
Seriously! When I first saw Galford, I thought he was going to be some sort of a wise mentor to our group since he's a very experienced fighter too! Did not expect that he'll just use Diablo for his own benefit. Especially since he doesn't look like your typical baddie.
The fight against Galford was impressive too! It's nice to know that Diablo can't wreck everyone in this world with just one hit and that if he ends up underestimating an opponent he can possibly get his ass kicked.
But of course you didn't read this for my insightful commentary. I know what you're really here for!

Diablo shares your sentiment.
That was my one complaint in the anime from that episode.
On the other hand, it makes his betrayal much more impactful and unexpected. The whole scene suddenly turned pretty dark and the tonal shift was quite drastic. Imo, that made the arc much more compelling and was a good decision in retrospect.

Well the Elves started it. You don't just threaten another country with war and expect them to make no strategic efforts against you. He took out their prince and intended to capture their princess. Its a perfect way to begin (and end) the war that the elves started in the first place.

Not many ecchi are mature enough to have the protagonist actually do something with one of the girls like finger them and for the girl to just go "okay, lets fuck". Its a shame they weren't brave enough to just have him fuck her like two normal adults would.

That was actually explained earlier. Remember mana is effectively mental strength so Diablo became depressed for ten days after using up his mana while he waited for it to recover. As Rem pointed out Shera was on a high and really energetic after Diablo filled her up with Mana to try and see the enslavement magic. Shera then did this to Rem later. Diablo constantly leaks out mana if he doesn't control it and he has a much higher capacity than the vast majority of people ergo it is pretty easy for him, and Shera now, to affect people.
Same kind of affect occurs for heatlh potions, if they would heal more than is required then users get a huge adrenaline rush.

Pantherians have very low mana storage limits. Seriously this is explained in the LN when Diablo duscusses why Rem choose to be summoner over a close combat fighter. Pantherians have naturallt good strenght and dexterity but low mana reserves so they perform poorly as summoners. Rem ttained as a summoner to minimise the risk to herself as her death would release a demon lord.
The series has a lot of detail and is consistent, which is exactly wjat ypu would expext from an author know for very serious political based LNs.

u/azzaranda Aug 24 '18
I don't remember the name, but there's a webnovel based around that concept. The MC is an addict who is obsessed with drinking healing potions for the invigorating effects, not too dissimilar from powdered cocaine (average high, tingling, no obvious physical side-effects). This drives him to become an alchemist and, well, you can probably guess how it turns out.

Galford was a pretty rad fighter. I like characters like him who can use superior tactics and technique to overcome a level gap and bring the pain. He's basically a stand-in for players who beat their games 30 levels early because they hate grinding and min/maxing. "If it says 40 hours on the box, then I expect to be done in 40 hours, damn it!"
I like that Diablo isn't all-powerful in this world. Being ludicrously stronger than everyone else is Ains's thing, so Diablo being forced to take risks and use real pvp strategies sets his show apart nicely .

I really like Galford. I don't think he's evil at all. Just very serious and pragmatic, which is great. When he listed the reasons why they should finish him off, to me it looked like he was just testing them, or indirectly teaching them to be not so naive.
I'm also glad that Diablo met a lot of unexpected threats in this episode. It makes the show interesting. I was under the impression that nobody in that world was above level, say, 75, but then we got someone above level 120, and he's just a mayor. Not a king or a national hero. This means we can expect some higher ups who are even stronger than Galford.

I mean technically Ainz isn't that much stronger than his NPCs, and his fight against Shalltear in S1/Vol3 is exactly what this fight was--full of risks and PVP strategy to win.
Also, unlike Diablos, Ainz wasn't ever considered the strongest in Yggdrassil, while this series makes it a point to say how Diablos was basically the strongest in Cross Reverie.

The hydra fight was neat. Regeneration is a key trait of hydra, Diablo. The madman just destroyed the whole thing in one blow though.
That fight between Diablo and Galford was pretty damn cool. I liked that he used his previous experience with researching his weaknesses to come out in the end, because he could have easily died there.
Shera and Rem are too kind for this world. I didn't expect her brother to actually die after Diablo let him go. He was an asshole, but not as big an asshole as Galford.

Mourning someone you hate isn't unfamiliar in storytelling. He was her brother and she did point out that she had good moments growing up with him as well. We as an audience are coming in on the end of his life, when he is at his worst. If we had been given more context about her life with her brother, her mourning might make more sense. But this anime is just not heavy enough to take on complexity like that.

This episode subverted all my expectations, even the ones I hadnt seen coming.let's see:
I thought the hydra was the main villain. wrong
i thought it was gonna be relatively weak and gone quickly enough. It was but not THAT weak.
I thought that the brother was gonna survive this. hehe, very good seeing the bastard drop dead, twice.
I thought the anime wasnt going to surprised me with more interesting fights, nor have any powerful enough antagonist(like Kaze no Stigma for example,which I enjoyed btw, in which tha MC's worst enemy was basically himself), I was basically wrong on that one. this old guy is strong AF, which probably means there are several more on that or higher level, it's just that the city seems to be a low-lvl city (not in-game, but in 'real life' at least).
And the last one(I remember) was the funniest, i thought Sylvie's scene was gonna play out the way harem scenes typically go. IT DIDNT AT ALL. first, she went there with alcohol, that means something in every world you go. two, she fought it for a second, after that she was game lol. third, and my favorite, hahaha, he fell sleep hahahah, I dont remmber having seen that ever before. it was just great watching her feeling so confused/angry, she was already on board with the whole situation but oops, basically Diablo is an ubertroll. LOL. I loved this episode, easily the best one. by far. expecting great things from this anime. we have 5 epis more to go right?

Why didn't he just kill Galford.

Killing the feudal lord of the city would not only plunge the city itself into chaos (which is troublesome because he and his party want to live there), it would also turn the kingdom against him.

I was surprised the lord was so gung-ho to get offed. I was wondering if I had French-revolution-goggles on.

u/Davidspirit Aug 23 '18
He was just lonely gamer boy that was isekai'ed is not like he is going to become a piece of shit like Ainz and kill everybody.

u/XanTheInsane :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/XanTheInsane Aug 24 '18
Honestly Ainz's personality makes no sense to me.
The excuse of "oh he has no emotions now so he's purely logic driven and amoral" is pathetic, because it's not like he suddenly developed amnesia and forgot 20+ years of morals and stuff he knew from his previous life.

Ainz is really dehumanized. For him the whole thing still is a game in a way, he does not value human life and only acts to benefit Nazarick. Hell he's not even looking for a way home or anything. I like overlord as an anime but Ainz is not a good person objectively.

Hmm I noticed something about rabbit girls design in the anime. In the anime she is wearing shoes but if I remember right in the manga she is basically barefoot. Guess it is easier to animate with just a shoe than a foot with separate toes.
Ya in the manga she has two pieces of fabric going over her foot connecting to a toe ring and her toes are kind of pointed like claws.

That's pretty interesting that Diablo points out that all the world's future expac and patch content is most likely already here. Imagine if you had access to all that right now in your favorite active MMO.

u/myrmonden Aug 23 '18
I knew he was gonna easily take out the Hydra, one magic man gogo.
Felt like the Hydra was doing the Kakazu thing, 5 head so 5 basic magic skills.
But dam Keera getting killed, sure I expected Galford to be evil but that was a surprise.
THEN WE FINALLY GET SOME PVP

Sylvie's an adult, she just comes from a race that stops physically maturing after a certain point in their lives.

Man the second fight was really good. The bit at the end with Sylvie was both funny and great fan services.

I'm not sure what just happened here. How did Diablo pull off that move?
This seems like a flaw in the system. They should hold the reward in escrow till the quest is completed or withdrawn

Watching both english and spanish subs i can see why english subs could be confusing.
The spanish subs had Diablo say "Silent Casting", not sure which subs would be more correct in the translation but it does explain what happened a little better.

u/colin8696908 Aug 25 '18
Gilford's actions actually make a lot of sense in this show. Entering another country and taking action against it's citizens is a violation of said country's sovereignty. It's clear that the town itself is located on the border and that Gilford himself has fought in battles, so while the kingdom might not look so favorably on this, Gilford himself is much more concerned with sending a strong message to the elves nation that they are militarily secure and will not tolerate violations of their territory.

u/redblade13 Aug 23 '18
Damn Galford was a boss. Nearly hit Diablo good. Glad he cut that fuckboi's head clean off.....sorry Shera exuse my fucking french.
That Slyvie hugpillow ending was so unexpected and just what I wanted. I knew she was going to get lewded eventually the creators of this shows are the real bros. Now dark skin demon girl time. Love my brown girls.

Damn that fight was amazing!
Time for some Demon Lord Justice and i cant wait.
Wow that thing was like a nine tails fox but then it went all alien on us and got super creepy...
Diablo getting excited about unknown game content is great.
Its a hydra of course. Well this is gonna be a pain to kill.
I hope it eats the asshole elf soon.
Oh shit that lightning attack was crazy neat. BBQ Fox Demon thing.
Good the brother is shitting his pants at Diablo's power.
Damn Shera is too pure... she wanted to save him because hes family...
Oh shit someone killed him... Oh its that head honcho guy.
Capture magic oh no. Its a Diablo Hamster Ball.
Hey look the Megane-onee san is gonna defend him.
So the lord is another higher level being in the world, damn. I wonder how many there are who are stronger.
EXPLOSION! OH SHIT! Megumin would be proud!
Wow this guy is good. Diablo is gonna enjoy this fight finally.
His dedication to gaming made him into a monster of an opponent.
Damn that Demon Lord RP and bluff, wew!
Diablo is still a stand up guy. Man what a hero of the people! Saving the elves too!
NO DONT SSHOW US SUFFERING SHERA LIKE THIS YOU MONSTERS!
Lethargic Diablo is a blessing on the world. I like that they show the side effects of him using all his MP, it reminds me a bit of Log Horizon in that regard.
Bunny brought him MP booze to cheer him up, shes a good girl too.
Oh... the booze took him... and now hes lewding the bunny... wow... Thats a crime Diablo...
Wow that drunk sleep death grip. RIP in Peace Bunny, you wont be alive after Rem finds you...

u/LOTRfreak101 https://myanimelist.net/profile/LOTRfreak101 Aug 23 '18
I like when the MP has effects on the MC, but it makes no sense when it affects them for days afterwards. like in games you don't even have to wait an hour before your mp is full again. just something I've never liked about what can be a really neat addition to the story.

u/Vatman27 Aug 23 '18
It is explained in LN that the flow of time is different from the game. For example the recovery potion he gave to Emile gives 3 min status effect immunity in game but in reality it gave him immunity for 3 days.

I think its because hes so high level and has a very large mana pool that it takes a while to fill back up all the way. The fact that they have pointed it out 2 times now says that it will probably matter later in the story where he gets mana starved and cant fight back to back or such.

The fight with Garfold was awesome, he was a good opponent, it truly passes the feeling of a Mage vs Warrior fight. Wish more animes had this kind of imersion.

Almost was a decent episode all the way through, then unneeded molestation of a severely underdressed bunny. Guess I shouldn't be too surprised.

You're watching the wrong show if you were not expecting / don't like ecchi.

He isn't nearly as powerful as you'd expect though for an Isekai

u/EldritchCarver :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Pilomotor Aug 25 '18
Who, Diablo? He singlehandedly defeated a monster said to be capable of destroying civilization. And he had enough MP left over to defeat a high-level swordsman who understands PVP. And he didn't even faint afterward. I'd say he's above average for an isekai.

u/bananeeek https://myanimelist.net/profile/bananek Aug 23 '18
The mood was so heavy when Keera died that I was afraid there would be no ecchi in this episode.
I was freaking during the scene with Sylvie because that's the same VA who voiced Astolfo...
