This episode adapted S2 Ch23 to Ch26. IMO this is the best episode so far. Pacing is good with decent animation.

Anime season 1 didn't do justice about Endorisi and Bamm relationship. Manhwa season 1 pretty much hinted that Endroisi was falling for Bamm during her time with Bamm when her leg got broken after her fight with Annak. So s2 team is trying to connect the date promise as a flashback in this episode. It comes out of nowhere and could have handled better but better than nothing.

AA and Rachel are back and we get to know where season 1 old team is at. Also get to see AA new team which includes a new Khun family member, Khun Ran who is little brother of Princess Maschenny we see in episode 1. The anime delivered the vibe of Khun speech scene as in manhwa and that is the highlight of this episode.

They cut Yihwa meeting with other Yeon family members. Hwaryun repeating "pig" is also a plus for her fans.

 

the story:

THE SHIEST WITCH YOU’LL EVER MEET!

Monica Everett, the Silent Witch, is the only mage in the world who can use unchanted magecraft, a true hero who singlehandedly defeated a legendary black dragon. However, this young genius is actually…super-duper shy! That’s right: She learned to cast spells silently just to avoid speaking in public, and despite her power, she has zero self-confidence. Now Monica has been tasked with secretly guarding the second prince. Can she keep it together as she faces both the evil forces targeting the prince and the terrors of social interaction?

Today episode adapted Season 2 Ch 16 to Ch 22 of the manhwa. This whole test got rushed and cut off some characters interactions. What bothers me in this episode is they didn't explain how Wangnan won the test at the end.

I believe anime first cour will be adapted to Ch 53 of the manhwa so there are only around 30 chapters left. And assuming this cour will have 13 episodes, that will be 3 chapters per episode. Future episodes pacing should be better.

This episode is way better than the previous episode and I enjoy it. Tower of betrayal is back. Finally the 20th floor test is over and we are getting to a new floor. And at the end, we get to see Khun AA but a little bit disappointed we are not getting this iconic AA outfit.

I completely missed that part. AC article also confirms this movie is not what they announced back then. I also love to see a new season exploring more about Chisato organization.

in addition to a future season?

Not sure about getting a new season. Seems like the project they announced back then is this six-episode movie. Judging from the Anime Corner article, these six episodes would be slice-of-life focused. Getting new season will depend on how the production team will use these six episodes to connect to a new storyline at the end. There are a lot of they can do with just existing characters/organizations as they didn't fully explain in the first season.

I won't say it is bad but the weakest of the first three episodes. What I don't like in this episode is mainly animation. And about compressing character interactions, cutting previous episode bath scene makes it feel Akraptor acted out of his character in this episode. I enjoyed this episode but not as much as first two episodes. Really wish they went with more slice-of-life episode route and ended with sudden test announcement.

Episode 3 adapted manhwa Season 2 Ch.10 to Ch.15

Today episode is the weakest of first three episodes. Animation direction is off and rushing characters interaction made this episode way worse.

I was wondering why they let magicless MC attend magic school. Turns out he was a bait for Elfaria. And what is headmistress planning? Nice action sequence as episode one. Nothing interesting happens in today episode. But it is intriguing to see broken "Promised Goggles" in opening.

Not a lot happened in this episode. The anime adapted Season 2 Ch05 to start of Ch10 and cut the bath scene moments. Nothing major cut as far as I can remember.

The technique Viole used in this episode is known as Floral Butterfly Piercing Technique, a signature FUG technique. In manhwa, test protector, Ranker Love demonstrated the test just by tapping the orb and scored in millions. Also the ending seems like they will keep adding new panels as the story continue.

This anime is one of those that can say the animation medium is better than manga . As anime only viewer I can't say about reading experience but the anime experience becomes really better just by having Hayami Saori voice acting different dere.

Judging from teaser video, they will use normal colouring for fire. Also I didn't notice about that while watching.

This show is in my PTW list but I know nothing about the story. The story seems nothing crazy special, magical school setting where MC can't use magic but with high physical capabilities. The animation in this episode is really good. Looking forward to this show.

Tower of God anime is back. Episode 1 adapted Season 2 Ch 0 to half of Ch 5 of manhwa.

The story is on a little bit of fast paced side, mostly cut off funny moments and characters interaction like Yuri at Princess Repellista castle. ~~Also Princess Yuri has new voice actress.~~ The lighthouse that Princess Repellista used at 4:00 is called Opera. One new weapon of the 13 Month Series got mentioned in this episode, "Yellow May" currently held by Princess Khun Maschenny Zahard. Another new Zahard Princess, Garam is also mentioned.

I still have to get used to new art-style of the season 2. Animation is decent to good. The OP and ED of this season are nice touch for me personally even it is slideshow style, especially how ED decided to do with Zahard three-eyes icon as background.

Why the bombs at the end of episode work on Bamm character is because they are not made of Shinshu.

Trivia of this episode: if Ja Wangnan is read backward, it means "I am King" in Korean.
