I can't wait for the next fashion show to showcase the Hestia ribbon. Its just one step away.

e: I just noticed the Spanish metro article pic has an article talking about goku on the bottom. :v:

The supporter system and the benefit of not soloing the dungeon don't seem all that clear in the anime, where dead mobs just kind of poof into smoke. Oh well.

I assume that the benefit of having a supporter is like having a pack mule, that giant backpack allows them to carry way more supplies then an average adventurer, and you can loot a lot more monsters and items from the dungeon because you have the "inventory space" for it. And having an extra set of eyes that could alert you if you missed something in the dungeon, or are about to be ambushed and get crushed into paste. Supports seems like a good thing to have around. Do they explain the benefits of a support better in the light novel?

In the anime, defeated monsters disappear, leaving behind the crystal. In the manga and ln, defeated monsters just lay there, and you have to hack out the crystal. So the support hacks those things out for the adventurer, in addition to moving corpses out of the way so they don't slip on monster guts or something.

Wasn't David the Gnome weirdly popular in Japan? I feel like there was a western cartoon of that sort that gained surprising popularity over there.

I assume that monster in the wall didn't immediately get dusted on strike to make that scene work as it did in the book

Nope. I have no idea what that's supposed to mean either because the context doesn't really give much.


I liked this episode a lot. A lot less dumb harem antics (it probably helped that Hestia had only 30 seconds of screen time) which they replaced with Bell gettin' a shiny new armor set that looks pretty rad, a new character that wasn't annoying, and an interesting twist added to an existing character.

The "Parum" (Prum?) race was originally called "hobbit" in the novels, but for reasons unknown, it was changed in later editions printed (and subsequent volumes). As you can imagine, it's a race of small humanoids. Lili is 110cm in stature, according to her character sheet, which is what, 3 ft 7 in?

The word "parum" supposedly means very little, insufficient in Latin, so maybe that's where he took it.

Chienthropes are dog-like humanoids. Some combination of the French "chien" (dog) and "lycanthrope" (werewolf), I guess.

There are werewolves and "cat people" and dwarves and elves as well.

Edit: Oh, and sprites, I guess. Or fairies or whatever. And amazons! And gnomes, obviously. Probably more I've forgotten.

Legal reasons I imagine, a lot of things like D&D seem to go with halfling instead as well. At least I've always assumed that's why anyway.

Yo don't be hating on Shortstack. She's fun and brings a lot of energy to the show. Also "a lot less dumb harem antics" is kind of the opposite of what actually happened in this episode.

Anyway, Bell's armor looks cool, but the green bracer clashes pretty badly. I hope that's a sign that he'll be in the classic MMO clown suit by the end of the show.

I guess it was more like "less eggregious and annoying harem antics". The date with Eina was made better by the fact that the armor he bought was pretty cool. That bracer does clash pretty badly though.

Will anything beat Kirito's +9 Spurs of The Speed Force in the MMO Clown Suit in Anime pantheon?
