The girl's name is 夢叶エル (Yumekana Elle), same reading as 夢叶える (Yume Kanaeru -- dream achieved)

Elsaria found out what Aht meant when she said Elsaria had never seen how the Seven Heroes fight: against the people they were supposed to protect.

Aht almost died from her wounds but Köinzell gave her some of his blood which transformed her and gave her some of his moon-power. She didn't get elf ears though.

We already knew Barestar went off the deep end from the previous episodes. This time he showed up in his flying castle and started blasting everybody, including his own soldiers. I can see Elsaria's report of his war crimes getting longer and more colorful.

I keep expecting the bad guys to do something to obstruct their work but nothing happened.

Arkdragon's resentment towards no Shinkansen trip runs deep.

Akane was decisive (helped by her Intuition skill) in running away and seeking help from Takumi. She and Lulu was finally free from Sidonia and we got an insight on why the other summoned turned evil.

It seems we're running out of episodes though, so instead of a confrontation with Sidonia and the heroes we are probably just going to get a monster battle episode next to end the season.

This is supposed to be mindless fun with an absurd plot kind of show. The manga managed to be funny enough. It’ll depend on how good the execution is to either make or break the anime.

Sunraku & co. have 6 days left in this quest but the show is going to take a detour to cover the GGC arc.

It is sad when we have to celebrate $599 as “AMD not being greedy”.

The animation quality was quite jarring for parts of this episode, but at least Elsaria wasn't drawn badly.

She was a daughter of an Elector, so fairly important it seems, and of the Order of the Seven Spears along with the mysterious young man who also wanted to fight the hero killer.

Edit: We did not get the vol.0 story, instead just a very moody Rozen trying hard not to tell the mysterious young man something.

From the steam description, they went to the trouble of recording new voiceovers with new seiyuus and then let you select the old ones too which is very nice of them. You can check out the old and new VAs on the official site.

This episode is like an advertisement for Chichibu Japan, its hot springs and local cuisine seemed very attractive when shown that way.

That Waraji Katsu-don (pork cutlets served on top of a bowl of rice, Waraji are straw sandals that refers to the shape and size of the cutlets) looked interesting, I googled what they looked like in real life.

Reyva had a good start working at Takumi's place.

Takumi had some problem naming their party, it didn't help when he had to do it the same time being thrown around physically by the guild master.

Akane found out more about Sidonia, and it was not looking good for her. Akira turning darker and darker was concerning too.

Sofia was first angry that Takumi got hurt during training, but when she watched them she turned into coach-mode herself.

Sidonia finally clashed with Takumi. Luckily he and Kaede were resistant to poison. He also wasn't as weak as he looked when he trained with the guild master. His body was made by Nolyn-sama afterall.

Wings of Nolyn, assemble!
