Damn, this episode was rough one for Alina. She and Jade goes up a pair with demonic powers. I'd say, this episode gave them their toughest fight in the series yet.

On another note, I'm glad to see Lululee getting involved in this and not left behind. She might still need to improve more but she's on the right track and helped her friends. Alina deserves a more proper festival than what she got.

There is zero reason this series should have a score this low it’s been incredible! Such a great end to the festival arc. While Jade didn’t get the win against Vilfina, the fact he yet again put himself on the line and was willing to die to protect Alina was so sweet.

Think the big fight was a bit weak in terms of animation, but the emotion of it all was good! Music really heightened it too.

Jade finally got to finish his date with Alina. That “don’t die” is about as romantic a line as Alina is ever gonna say lmao. They’re really one of my most underrated ships this season I love them so much and you can slowly see Alina seeing him as a guy! Also now he knows about shroud.

Happy for Lululee getting her closure as well ❤️ very sweet end to the ep

Alina saved the day after staring death in the eye.
And she got to enjoy the event even if it didn't went entirely according to plan.
It also looks like she made some good friends in the party.

Ah the old simultanious weakness bosses huh. Damm their combined form Vilfina was an abomination. This ep showed well the kind of limits that adventurers face as well when activating abilities repeatedly without rest in the form of the fatigue. But im glad that in the end the boss was vanquished but that was a pretty close fight.

In general this episode seems decent; but then I realised the implications of Lululee saving Alina.
If I remember correctly a Dia skill nullifies any lower level skills opposing it, which is why everyone is searching for Dia skills.
Then why go to the trouble to clear dangerous dungeons from secret quests, when you can build up endurance to cast your skill as many times as possible?
You could argue that Jade is the first to try this (which I find hard to believe), but whatever the case, I hope they address that.
Also I'm really sure how stacking is supposed to work.
Jade tried to stack skills by simply casting the same thing over and over, but it didn't work. So he had to cast skills without activating them, cast a different skill and then while activating the skills can stack? That seems like a bug in a video game, not a rule of a fantasy world!
Meanwhile, Lululee just bruteforced it. She was crazy enough to try the same thing again expecting a different result, and it worked(?).
I'm confused.

Lululee really came through when it mattered to save Alina and help defeat Vilfina. Really enjoyed the scene at the end with Alina finally able to enjoy the festival.

Alina was debuffed so that Jade can show off his chivalry and Lululi can overcome her trauma. Not a fan of this solution but at least at the end of the day Alina is still the strongest.

I really thought someone would die, but I am glad they all survived.

Alina finally realized she's not along, so hopefully she will get together with Jade soon.

I hope Lowe gets more screen time and gets his time to shine, Jade and Lululee are already top tier, I was hoping either of them were going to get a power up from using simultaneous skills or stacking the same one, like I guess their attempts worked but I'm not a fan of a single character just carrying all the fights with the other technically "wasting" the audience's time.

I think the implication was not that Lululee was stacking the revive skill, but that it got more powerful after she started believing in it and herself more. Which would have been very hard to do with direct evidence of repeated failure.

Though it is odd that believing strongly enough in a Sigurth skill somehow allowed it to nullify a Dia skill -- and a powered-up variant at that, given it was itself able to overpower Dia Break. Though it does make sense for healing skills to be the most powerful in their category, or they'd never work against skills of the same level. Or perhaps the skill strength rule is only about direct clashes and doesn't really apply to wounds.

Fairly obvious that the merged form would be their main weakness, though.

Not a whole lot to say about this fight scene. Lots of talking instead of fighting. The whole time, I was just waiting for Alina to get back up and be the main character again. Hopefully, successfully healing Alina will close the book on the whole Lululee murderer arc and the character can move on now.

No doubt, those two actually gave Jade & Alina the first HARD fight they have had together in this Anime'. Damn, she almost bought it. Thank God, the Healer isn't as useless as she thinks of herself!
The combined form of the Dark Goddess lost the twins IQ. I guess Jade is right, these two were a failure!

Wow this dark god duo was sure dumb, so when they never merge they are basically immortal. At least provocation worked. lol

Nice development for Lululee as well. If she could come up with a combo'd healing skill as well it would be OP too. Jade was pretty smart about his one. Alina learned she is not invincible even with her OPness.

Suppose you liked Lady Lihua in the Apothecary Diaries slapping the F out of her cousin (and then some... If they allowed). In that case, you'll probably like this guy promising hell to the piece of crap playing with Lululee's mind:

This episode was so good, I was so happy for Lululee to be able to heal Alina, she deserves all the praise
The fight was fun to watch, Jade deciding to get the aggro by taunting Viena was really smart
I'm glad Alina managed to enjoy the festival, and even better, she did it with her new friends

It was really impressive how Alina killed those children, they probably would have been more successful if they'd tried shooting their bows more than once every few minutes

Judging from the title of the next episode Alina is going to enter Adventurer training? If so, it'll be sad that the show is seemingly abandoning the last vestiges of its initial premise.

I liked this episode a lot, but they should have made Jade be the one to beat the boss, or he and Alina, not just her again, saving everyone at the last minute, I guess it will always be the same.
Whatever, I'm not saying that's a bad thing, because the show is great.
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~

That was just dumb, the loli dark gods didn't gain anything by combining it just provided an easy way for them to get killed. And so Lululee's power finally worked just because she kept trying, really, really hard? Also how much blood can Jade lose and still live? And what was with the rant at the end, how does people going to her desk because she is faster lead to more overtime? Just quit already.
Probably time to drop this. What can it possibly do in 4 episodes to get better? Let me guess Alina gets more OT, another dark god appears, and she helps defeat it...

Not a bad episode. All four main characters get to have their own character development. Noice!
That IS also hits hard while the story is playing.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

After reading the manga, it seems the manga has much better dialog (don't get why they are cutting/changing so many of Alina's lines), action (characters aren't just standing around), and pacing (things happen much faster, they have really been drawn out, apparently to make up for all the stuff they have cut). This is just really a botched adaptation IMO. (also Alina's casual outfit doesn't look stupid)

Lulune's back story and redemption was trash. I don't care about this Lazy Town stunt double, I want more Alina. Her asspull of healing Alina from "certain death" was Ichigo levels of asspull.

Alina going SSJ and one shotting the twins fusion was a good ending. Foreseeable, but good.

Cute ending. overall 3.2/5

This show has an incredibly weak magic system. Not only have they established the rules that Dia skills are on another tier from Siggurth skills (which is in itself not ideal, as it means that basically every encounter is determined by the rank of your abilities rather than your skill in using them), but now they break those rules when Lululee heals a Dia wound with her Siggurth skill.

I'm glad no one died (although that redhead piece of trash deserved a good kick to the teeth) but it's wildly inconsistent. Thankfully the fantastic character relationships are carrying this show!

LOL, and here I was just commenting how episode 7 reminds me of "Party Kara" and felt like they took ideas from it... (the Guild higher up conspiracy, the female caster that drags others down, etc etc)

And here we are... the "heal stacking" that's also in "Party Kara"... LOL

.

Also... is the Dark God lolis... just born or something?

The other guy had bunch of skills... while the lolis... literally just shooting arrows and nothing else...

Which is weird, considering they're suppose to be from ages ago back when the super humans created them, and the Dark Gods supposedly absorbed bunch of their powers...

Does this mean the lolis didn't actually absorb any skill? if so... doesn't that mean they actually never killed anyone? but that would also not make any sense, considering they do attack and kill others... as shown by that stupid glasses dude.

.

BTW... the male adventurers sure are stupid annoying too...

Alina found out they're purposedly going to her counter, which creates more work for her that ends up most times with her being unable to attend most events...

And the male dudes just laugh... I would either report them and ban them from going to my counter or just quit...

But Alina is also kinda stupid (as some ppls mentioned)... she's literally also purposedly accepting work when she doesn't really have to (such as when the guild is closed or when other lanes are open, she still accepts people...)

so Alina is literally complaining about having overwork, when in fact she's also the one creating more overwork herself...

.

Also, the "soul Ceremony" is literally based on RL, lol (every anime series uses this regardless of what sort of culture or fantasy setting they have... everything eventually returns to JAPAN, lol)

Jade's use of his skill was quite smart. He really stood his ground. Was a close call for Alina but Lululee pulled herself together and healed her which also helped her move on. Sweet moment at the end there again. Ship is progressing nicely.

This dark god fight really pushed silver sword beyond their limits. Their phase two when they combined into Velfina lived up to the hype. That attack cursed by death was brutal. This is why you respect the healers like Lululee. Even if Aiden couldn't, Lowe gave him a great incentive to keep away from her.

Alina once more delivers a striking moral lesson. It's not nice to bother your favorite retail worker when their line is backed up!
