Interesting how the latest episode did a lot to make Ginko and Sensei seem much friendlier and less threatening. Still not at all convinced that they're entirely trustworthy, tho.

The show certainly keeps playing with our perception of various characters. Soya and pals have gone from being shady, borderline-villanous protagonists to pretty straightforwardly heroic characters, while the Paladins have become much more nuanced and, at least as far as the boss is concerned, sinister. Curious to see how many face-heel turns and vice versa we get before the show's finished.

Hmm, maybe we are seeing what the Sealing Faction's real game is. The boss's idea of True Peace sounds a lot like what they might be into...

Also lol at Nezuya failing his test in epic style.

I wonder if he's still got his power-vial-thingy after that failure.

Maybe if this does well, dare we hope for a spirit circle anime?

...is it doing well?

Probably too early to say.

Just based on general reactions, like the number of comments and ratings on the Crunchyroll videos, it doesn't seem to have a huge amount of viewers.

Edit: Just based on a brief skim of the number of ratings on episodes from over a week ago, it's actually one of the lowest watched series of the new season?

It's certainly not a show that screams "Mass-market appeal", what with the whole deliberately-surreal-and-silly-mask-over-a-deceptively-thoughtful-and-perceptive-character-musing thing it's doing. But an anime doesn't necessarily need to be a mass-market success to be a success on its own terms, so...grain of salt.

Strong show, even if I kind of wish it had been two cours so it could have afforded to insert some downtime and stretch things out just a bit. B+, Glad I watched.

I don't think it needed 24-26 eps but if it could have been like 14-15 (or like 13 + the post-timeskip as an OVA with how cours work or whatever) I think it would have been a little better I think.

Yeah, that probably would have been the ideal length, but you don't usually see shows do weird numbers like that these days.
