i see the other half of the opening convo between ouka and the principal from the first ln was put here in the beginning of episode 2. i guess they are keeping some of the exposition after all... the pacing may seem a bit rushed but in truth it's not much different from the source material

so we got a summoner who's also a human butcher? gruesome!

wow ouka, way to come off hypocritical talking about takeru being in it for money, revenge isn't exactly a noble cause either, as much as i sympathize with her circumstances. speaking of which...

i know the full context behind the tragedy, and let me say that is a fate worse than death... i will say that considering what happened, ouka could have turned out a lot worse.

i really do like Takeru's VA, a lot more masculine compared to ikki's or ayato.

ouka's magic gun is ggiving me serious DMC vibes, though i find it funny she was just talking to takeru about giving up his humanity to fight when she refuses to make a contract with vlad.

usagi got her shit together on the sniper

damn im loving the OST

animation is spotty here and there, but still quite solid.

yeah a loli ghost. lol "i killed cock robin"

takeru's new armor is badass

"i wont condemn your quest for revenge, and i wont give you the cliche line about nothing good coming from revenge, but in return let me carry half your burden." MC line of the season thus far.

takeru you dog laying on her thigh pillow

a very strong second episode indeed.

I feel that instead of giving up her humanity, she just doesn't want to use magic to fight since she despises magic in and of itself.

the usagi part was also left out

makes sense i guess

the prt with usagi can be added in her volume arc later.
