IMO the story of the two sisters is the best - the greedy hiding a universal human desire to be seen, the situation in Earth becoming shitty even if they genuinely cared about each other, simply because they did not see what the other was going through.
They also picked a rather fitting ability for the onee-san: since she felt like her youth was stolen, she is able to steal the youth of the others.
Sensei calling Wolff a playboy and telling him to shut up was also funny.
Geith getting his arse kicked is cathartic, but you know what would be even better? Seeing his brother getting slapped over and over. And penniless.
Ep7 had Tama getting some character development and background; this episode was for Nir. A coward and lying but precious boy.
By default most otherworlder in this series are arseholes, so it's nice to see another exception. And one leading to a deserved happy ending - Wolf man meeting with his friend in Earth again.
So Haga is not above "delaying" a bug report so he can benefit from the bug a wee bit more, uh.
Luu being resurrected without memories was sad, but predictable. Perhaps it's better this way for Amano, I don't know, so he doesn't grow too attached to the game world.
Boss had it comin'.
Episode in a nutshell: a couple horny but clueless bakas.
At least their feelings for each other are a bit better conveyed in the animation than in the manga. In the manga some events feel out of the blue, but here it seems that it's building up nicely.
The coliseum CG is really jarring, but on the lighter side the characters are cuter. For Seras this is a given, but Eve also got prettier, without losing badass vibes:
I'm glad that Tama didn't leave the party, it would be damn boring without her. (And Sensei's disdain towards Nir's coffin-pulling skills was funny.) The mark of the divine beast felt a bit like a deus ex machina but it worked well in the end.
KS had some impact on me learning Braille. Okay, perhaps not as much as Aldous Huxley saying that it's comfy to read with your head under blankets, but still.
My sides went into orbit as the dwarf was explaining that bikini armour was just the old DM's fetish.
I bet that the boss told Amano that Lu can be resurrected just to be left alone.
This chapter can be summarised with two words: "oh shit".
Odds are that they'll be able to heal Takuto and dispel Atou's mind control. And she'll feel extremely guilty afterwards. (Next time make sure that your cute elf-looking eldritch abominations are resistant against mind attacks!)
Oh, we're moving into the Sweaty Feet Arc! Because, you know, fungal infections in isekai are serious business!
Okay. Serious now. I get that the author wanted to make Dahlia's tools something mundane and relatable. Still fun to watch, and I'm glad that I picked this series up.
The episode also shows Wolf's relationship with his older "girlfriend"; it's clear that she isn't romantically interested on him or vice versa, but they seem close enough. More like friends pretending to be a couple for the convenience of both. I think that "Vee" is Wolf's mother? The fact that his pseudo-girlfriend has a portrait of her shows that they were likely close friends. (She's nice-looking, refined, by the way. But Dahlia is still cuter.)

Tired of protagonists who are losers in Earth, then "magically" become successful in isekai? This series is for you then.
The main character (Purchinov) is a president of some "random" Eastern European country in Earth. He looks like Putin, but don't worry - he doesn't behave like him, and the manga is not political soapboxing. (Otherwise I wouldn't be recommending it). With an obsession to ride every critter out there.
Yes, the premise is that silly. And the series as a whole, Purchinov is that sort of MC that's actually competent at what he does, except when he sees a critter. "I want to ride it!"
Since a pic is worth 9001 words:
This is from ch3 for less spoilers, but keep in mind that the series is around ch60-70 as of now.
Here are the ones that I'm watching:
Planning to watch:
I also picked Mononoke up to watch. It's a old series but I'll watch as if it was part of this season. You know, for rainy days and stuff.
Happy New Year, everyone!
