[u/justking1414]

So can we talk about that OP!?

Fran literally climbing over a mountain made up of the corpses of the black cat slaves who came before her, just to reach Teacher

SO. FREAKING. GOOD!

[u/Djinnfor → u/justking1414]

I double checked it and I don't see any cat ears or tails on any of those corpses. Seems more like they are the experimental test subjects that are featured in the first and last scenes of the episode.

[u/justking1414 → u/Djinnfor]

Fair. I couldn’t really tell if they were black cats or not but it made sense given her whole motivation is redeeming her tribe, who have largely been enslaved

But you’re right. I don’t see any ears. I guess the connection will be less direct, more about how Fran escaped from slavery while all those in the dungeon ended up getting killed and becoming undead.

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

After last season, it's refreshing to see a catgirl whose only addiction is curry.

[u/PerfectBeige → u/Se7en_Sinner]

Curry... and MURDER. But at least Fran got the memo that cats are supposed to clean themselves.

[u/Xiknail → u/PerfectBeige]

Murder is just the default state for any cat, be it -girl or otherwise. Barely worth mentioning.

[u/TheBusStop12 → u/PerfectBeige]

But it's the good kind of murder. As she only murders slavers, racists and people who commit hate crimes. Happy endings all around

[u/Hot-Log6283 → u/TheBusStop12]

Also people who smack her gift of Goblin's finger.

[u/maliciousrigger → u/PerfectBeige]

She also becomes very adept at torture.

[u/VicH95 → u/maliciousrigger]

Very apt for a cat. Playing with her prey even though she just ate (curry).

[u/KnightKal → u/PerfectBeige]

murder is just a tool for evolution

curry however is her weakness

[u/avboden → u/Se7en_Sinner]

"I'm here to kick ass and eat curry, and i'm all out of curry"

-Fran, probably

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

Given the number of skeletons and undead we see in the opening theme sequence, I don't think Jean is the only necromancer Teacher and Fran are going to encounter this season.

[u/astrogamer → u/KumaKumaGambler]

Given how slow the first season was, I'm not so sure. It just might be that the whole arc with Jean will take half the season

[u/Kartoffelkamm → u/KumaKumaGambler]

Or they're gonna have to deal with rogue undead.

[u/TheBusStop12]

Jean naming all his undead summons regular dude names like Andy and Bernard. I like him. He also at no point doubted Frans abilities because of her stature and race. Absolute gigachad

[u/mattinva → u/TheBusStop12]

Has some chuuni in him, which I appreciate in small doses.

[u/Earlier-Today → u/mattinva]

Yeah, he's not over the top silly - he's just...off.

And a bit nuts - but in a measured and logical (to him at least) way.

I like him.

[u/Jacob-C → u/mattinva]

I can enjoy it in bigger doses if it's a parody. Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions, The Eminence in Shadow, or the Crimson Demons from Konosuba are all great examples. Jean's chuuni was also played up for laughs, I think.

[u/avboden → u/Jacob-C]

His intro was very crimson-demons

[u/Farmaceut7 → u/TheBusStop12]

Andy the Undead Dragon immediately reminded me of Undead Unluck! 

[u/Joji1000 → u/Farmaceut7]

Wouldn't be surprised if the author came up with the name on a similar line of thinking to Fuuko

[u/Nesp2 → u/TheBusStop12]

I wonder if Andy (and) Bernard would like the office show.

[u/Hot-Log6283 → u/TheBusStop12]

He also at no point doubted Frans abilities because of her stature and race

I do find it funny that after the initial set-up in season 1 of the whole "black cat are the worst" it doesn't really get brought up much after (apart from the encounter with the blue cat), even Lieutenant Weakling was only disgusted because she was a "commoner".

[u/Furoan → u/[deleted]]

And that fucker, the blue cat guy.

[u/epicfail1994]

MURDER KITTEN IS BACK

[u/Accurate_Treat6360 → u/epicfail1994]

WITH SWORD DAD

[u/MapoTofuMan]

What do you mean it's been 4 years

[u/tripleaamin → u/MapoTofuMan]

Well SLF was def a priority for the studio. Though the fact that S3 of slf is coming around the same time as this show’s s2 gives me hope the wait won’t be another 4 years after this one.

[u/Yaggamy]

OP: Kill everyone and drink their blood

ED: Upbeat cooking concert

Oh, how I love the duality of this show!!

[u/PerfectBeige → u/Yaggamy]

The OP looks like something that got turned down for Berserk because it was too over the top and I mean that in the best possible way.

[u/Jacob-C → u/PerfectBeige]

Berserk was the first thing I thought of when she was rising out of that pool of blood with the big sword on her back, surrounded by corpses.

[u/justking1414 → u/Yaggamy]

Definitely had a weird experience watching this

First minute: oh yeah. This was such a sweet wholesome show

Op dropped: oh….right. It’s also THAT kinda show. Neat!

[u/Treknx01 → u/Yaggamy]

ED is kind of dark as well, nothing like a concert (well curry cooking) to a audience of curry ingredients, so basically a group watching it's kin be chopped up boiled and consumed......... Yea, I have missed this "Cute" show.

[u/RedHotChiliCrab]

Hell yeah C2C is back with the best "reincarnated as a [something]" isekai. Move over slime, vending machine, skeleton, villainess, dragon, whatever else shit they're pumping out.

It's curry time! Then it's nap time... And then dungeon time!

[u/epicfail1994 → u/RedHotChiliCrab]

The amount of adorable gifs season 1 generated was amazing

[u/whores-doeuvres → u/RedHotChiliCrab]

C2C never misses. I wish they had stayed on Tsukimichi for season 2 and beyond though. JC Staff was a noticable downgrade.

[u/sodapopkevin → u/RedHotChiliCrab]

Only listing skeleton once, tsk.

[u/LeonKevlar]

• Fran & Shishou

I'm glad to see our curry-obsessed daughter is back! And they really didn't waste time with this episode. It was pretty cool to see Fran riding Shishou like a skateboard while they're fighting that undead knight midair. Unfortunately, it looks like we're starting off the season with their first loss.

Not gonna lie, I think the highlight of the episode is the necromancer, Jean Di Vix. The dude is basically a good necromancer who puts spirits to rest and gives risen undead a reason to exist. The dude is also pretty chill and only wants Fran and Shishou to help him conquer the floating dungeon in exchange for ruining his warehouse and plants.

Fran immediately falling asleep after claiming she has matured and can listen to long explanations was hilarious! xD

Jean naming his undead wyvern Andy was great! I also love how Andy does Godzilla's flying atomic breath to propel himself towards the floating dungeon. The fact that Jean even made sure to send Andy off after his sacrifice really confirms he's a good dude.

I do wonder what's up with the kid in the flashbacks. I was thinking that might be Jean's flashback, but it looks like there's a second white-haired kid in the opening that's not Jean. Maybe they're related? Hmmm...

This was a pretty good start! I kinda wish we could've gotten a recap at the start, since it's already been four years since the previous season, but I can live without it. I can't wait to see where this new season goes!

[u/epicfail1994 → u/LeonKevlar]

This show is just adorable

[u/Ashteron]

No Fran, don't hold your sword like this.

[u/Typhoonis88 → u/Ashteron]

Teacher would never cut Fran!

[u/ali94127 → u/Ashteron]

Technically, as long as her hand doesn't slide along the edge, she should be fine. She's also wearing gloves.

[u/PilifXD → u/Ashteron]

*dark synthwave plays*

[u/Ok-Flamingo8318 → u/Ashteron]

This element of the outro would be banned in Germany since it resembles the Swastika too much.

[u/ChironXII → u/Ashteron]

Fundy moment

[u/Salaryman42069 → u/Ashteron]

"The Codex Adventuris is full of BULL SCHEISSE!"

[u/PartySr]

Is Fran taller or am I wrong?

[u/Jaridan → u/PartySr]

it's the curry. you grow with nutrients.

[u/MapoTofuMan → u/Jaridan]

Curry and the blood of her enemies.

[u/Redracerb18 → u/MapoTofuMan]

just know that season one takes place over 1 month in the timeline. From the point of Fran Meting Teacher.

[u/Mitch12354 → u/PartySr]

I watched the last 3 episodes of season1 as a refresher for season 2, the art is very different for it being the same studio (C2C). Not sure why they chose to change things so much.

[u/Hot-Log6283 → u/Mitch12354]

It's been like 4 years, just because it's the same studio doesn't mean the same people are working it again, at the very least the animation directors are different from last season.

[u/mineirim2334 → u/Hot-Log6283]

Character designer changed, that's probally the main reason. Animation director also changed.

[u/JulienBrightside → u/Hot-Log6283]

No wonder I can't remember a lot from season 1.

[u/mineirim2334 → u/JulienBrightside]

I forget about the dog and barelly remmember from where that demon sword came lol

[u/n080dy123 → u/Mitch12354]

It feels like the production of this season has been influenced somewhat by the two seasons of Shangri La Frontier they got off doing in between.

[u/zool714]

Going from a battle-crazed sword-wielding girl who idolizes her teacher voiced by Kakuma Ai (Eris) to a battle-crazed sword-wielding girl who idolizes her teacher voiced by Kakuma Ai (Fran)

Andy, it was short but it was a great time. RIP.

The experimental subject slavery plotline looks grim. Can’t wait for the villains to get their comeuppance.

Jean is a goofball too. I remember Amanda mentioned someone else she knows who can combine more than one magic type. I think that was supposed to be Jean.

ED was cute too. So many Frans. Glad this show is back. Can’t wait for more father-daughter-dog adventures

[u/Hot-Log6283 → u/zool714]

I remember Amanda mentioned someone else she knows who can combine more than one magic type

Actually she mentioned necromancy specifically and his face flashed on screen at the same time she said he was a little weird.

[u/heimdal77 → u/zool714]

what was the first battle crazed series?

[u/zool714 → u/heimdal77]

Eris from Mushoku Tensei

[u/ali94127 → u/zool714]

Fran can totally take Orsted.

[u/Feisty-Gap1561 → u/ali94127]

No ? 💀

[u/KinoHiroshino → u/zool714]

Ai Kakuma is just really good at voicing swordswomen.

[u/CyanPhoenix42 → u/zool714]

I never would have guessed Fran and Eris share the same voice actor, that's crazy

[u/Ceryto2]

I am sooo fucking happy that Tenken is finally back! And it's just as great as the first season! Fran is just the cutest, most amazing, super sugoi adventurer black cat girl ever and her enthusiasm is just such a blast to watch. Sensei and Urushi are also back in full form enabling Fran to shine the brightest!

I can't believe it's already been 4 years, but I guess since this is one of the very, very few shows I've rewatched (twice actually!) and since I did read the manga and quite a bit of the LNs during the wait it didn't even feel that long.

And we start right away with Fran starting a new adventure by flying up to a castle in the sky and discovering a dungeon, and well, when there is a dungeon, then there also is a dungeon mastaaa to beat, and Fran really can't say no to that! Jean is also a really fun companion and his undead summons look really cool to boot!

And man, does it feel good to hear this amazing OST again. I know Yasuharu Takanashi is more known for his Naruto, Fairy Tail or Shiki OST, which also have tons of bangers, but I gotta say, I think my favourite of his OSTs are in Tenken. The main theme and Fighting Black Cat Theme are just such absolute bangers and the rest also absolutely rocks! And to top that we also get an amazing OP and that banger of an ED!

Yeah, I really didn't need to be worried, it seems like Re:Zero wednesdays are in real good hands, cause we got Curry wednesdays now! My plan is to make a different Curry every week, so let's see if I can keep it up for the whole season. Today I made a simple japanese golden curry with some rice, veggies and Teriyaki Chicken and well it's simple yet delicious! Fran would have loved it!

[u/Flexis65 → u/Ceryto2]

I agree that the soundtrack is really good.

[u/Light351]

The scene wehre they fly up to the fortress was so fucking epic! Gave me chills. The music is amazing it was so epic. The way the skeleton dude said "Intelligence Sword" gave off real Okabe vibes. Triuphant fucking return! Welcome back Sword Dad!

[u/Alter_Kyouma → u/Light351]

I feel that's one of the main things Isekai are missing these days are the intense fights. I get that people like the power fantasy and all, but it's hard to get excited when the MC never struggles in a fight. Meanwhile here we've got the guardian of the entrance being like an epic boss

[u/VritraReiRei]

Uh oh. Murder Kitty can now Fly/Surf on her sword. She has now conquered the land, air, and sea, she can no longer be stopped.

[u/flamethrower2 → u/VritraReiRei]

Skeleton Guardian Dark Knight shut her down, though. It wasn't there on their return trip. Plus, there were decoys on the return trip to enable success.

Sword surfing I thought was a wuxia / xianxia trope.

[u/GamingExotic → u/VritraReiRei]

She turned into an immortal cultivator who rides on their blades.

[u/sodapopkevin]

I hope Jean sticks around though I doubt he will past this arc (maybe as a temporary team up character every now and then).

[u/justking1414 → u/sodapopkevin]

Probably too op and dramatic to be a permanent ally. But he could definitely pop back in for a future arc

[u/sodapopkevin → u/justking1414]

Yeah my thought is recurring ally.

[u/Hot-Log6283 → u/sodapopkevin]

Him and Amanda seems to know each other, she mentioned the weirdo and his face flash up on screen so you never know.

[u/shad79]

Aaah! Fran and Teacher are back! I missed them! Good to see that Fran's love for curry remains unchanged, lol.

Overall, that was a fun first episode of this new season. Fran's reactions are just as hilarious as in the previous one, and Jean seems to be quite a fun guy.

The OP was quite dark, but it's great that we finally got another banger from FZMZ. By the way, I really hope they return to make a song for SLF S3.

Meanwhile, while the ED song is... okay (musically it's just not my cup of tea), the visuals with Fran in it are just so fun!

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Fran w/wo Teacher
• Group scenes
• Jean
• Others

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

[u/justking1414 → u/shad79]

OP is fire

ED reminds me of so I’m a spider, so what

[u/epicfail1994]

And the episode is missing for me 😭

[u/Treknx01 → u/epicfail1994]

username checks out…….

but just went to watch it, just a nice countdown to episode two with no sign of ep 1. off to a great start.

[u/Shantotto11 → u/Treknx01]

It’s here now.

[u/Treknx01 → u/Shantotto11]

Yep, I will take full credit for it's appearance, I complain and hey the episode appears.

but on a serious note, it's good it's now up for all to watch off to try and fit it in before I have to leave for work.

[u/archangel890 → u/epicfail1994]

Me too..

[u/epicfail1994 → u/archangel890]

I despise Hidive so much, I got a years subscription because it was relatively cheap and I could afford it, as I want to watch this show and a few others like executioner and her way of life. Those two and Gate are the only ones I’ve really found worthwhile, I see people complain about CR constantly but it’s far better than this trash service. The catalog has a bunch of weird ecchi stuff that isn’t to my tastes, with a few decent shows but not enough for me to justify another year of it as I’ve already watched the few shows there that I’m interested in

At least I can cancel once the season ends as this show is the only reason I subbed in the first place.

[u/Previous-Space-7056 → u/epicfail1994]

Edit. Found it on hidive

[u/epicfail1994 → u/Previous-Space-7056]

Yes, but it’s still not up as of a few minutes ago

[u/Elfeagle2 → u/epicfail1994]

This show and Oshi No Ko are really the only things on HiDive that are worth it.

[u/epicfail1994 → u/Elfeagle2]

This is literally my favorite anime/LN series. There are others that are objectively better but I just think it’s absolutely adorable

And it’s held hostage by a shit streaming service

[u/Shantotto11 → u/archangel890]

It’s here finally.

[u/Shantotto11 → u/epicfail1994]

It’s here finally. Assuming you’re using HiDive.

[u/AnimeJunkieXL]

Glad this one is back. OP/ED reminds me of Dorohedoro's. The JP VA casting is amazing. Every time Shishou talks I keep expecting it to randomly yell Nudist Beach! Looking forward to the rest of the season.

[u/ThisGachaSeemsLegit]

Okaeri, sugoi-ken-kun.
Damn, they went wild with that ED, didn't they.

[u/PerfectBeige → u/ThisGachaSeemsLegit]

That's supa sugoi ken to you.

[u/AAA_BATT]

Sword dad is back!

[u/Fr1eg]

Average HiDive L. Was really looking forward to curry cat.

[u/PrestigiousEmu3085 → u/Fr1eg]

just watch it somewhere illegal. they dont want it the other way.

[u/TheBusStop12 → u/PrestigiousEmu3085]

I have to as well, since HiDive decided to just abandon my region. Can't even legally watch it if I wanted to, which I would if I could. God HiDive sucks

[u/Shantotto11 → u/Fr1eg]

It’s up now.

[u/vnomgt]

What a fun OP and ED, you can tell how much they still care about this show! Those frames of Fran aura farming in the intro are awesome.

Also Jean is such a great character, I can't wait to see more of him!

[u/ad3z10]

I forgot just how much I loved S1, and our adorable murder hobo.

I wasn't ready for the tonal dissonance with the OP (and song from the ED) against the goofiness of the show, especially with our slightly wacky necromancer and his bone jokes joining in.

[u/LimeyLassen → u/ad3z10]

I have memories of season 1 being good, but this is better than I remember, it's REALLY good!

[u/Jeihan313]

OP Fran goes so hard with a mountain of corpses like a sight from Warhammer 40k

[u/skavinger5882]

Best murder hobo cat and sword dad are back!

Also RIP Andy, you were a good skeleton

[u/Treknx01 → u/skavinger5882]

I miss Andy already, here is hoping Fran and Teacher find a way to summon a permanent Andy Jr by the season end, he would make a great little brother to Jet.

[u/TheDanubianCommunard]

Yes, it is finally back after four years!

[u/Obaruler]

Two minutes in, and we already got our first serving of Curry.

This season is going to be amazing.

Also, there's a clear visual upgrade. Fran looks even more adorable now. :3

[u/FelixAndCo → u/Obaruler]

So much fan service: curry, cute fran, spectacular fights. If I'd want to sell somebody on this show, I think I'd show them this episode; not too much plot (spoiled), and lots what makes this series enjoyable. I also like the visuals, but I do lament they lean more on CG than I remember from S1.

[u/tripleaamin]

I like the decision of not jumping right back on the S1 cliffhanger. (Well I assume most people might have forgotten about it.) It actually takes its time getting to that point. Production wise this feels about the same as S1. C2C is a studio that really is efficient with their animation like we see with SLF. Granted I doubt this has the same production values as SLF, but that is beside the point. Directing is well done here.

I am wondering about the end of the episode with all the undead attacking Fran and company. More than likely there has to be a necromancy on their side. At the very least it could be possible that the Legendary Skelton might not be the worst that Fran has to deal with.

Jean is shady. But in a good way. I do like seeing more people being aware of Shishou. It makes the conversations more snappy and helps with pacing. Still his point of the island intersecting different regions is interesting. Very excited for what this dungeon could be.

[u/BiggerG7]

Skull Jo- I mean Necro Joke!

Brooke would be proud.

[u/marcostadeusc]

This is not even available in my country. Really sad

[u/archangel890 → u/marcostadeusc]

I am so confused as well.. it skips straight to episode 2 on my hidive app and I can’t even watch episode 1 and it says 2 isn’t available until October 7th idk where episode 1 is..

[u/HuTaosTwinTails → u/archangel890]

HiDive confirmed it's been delayed for streaming for them. They will update when it's available

[u/BagelTheIron → u/HuTaosTwinTails]

Rip but this was the info I was looking for ty good sir

[u/Shantotto11 → u/BagelTheIron]

It’s up now.

[u/marcostadeusc → u/archangel890]

I wish this streaming platform would cover my country

[u/ApplicationMassive92 → u/archangel890]

Mine show the same like ep.1 doesn't exist

[u/Viktorv22]

Holy fuck this was such a fun episode, we are so back bros!

OP, ED of the season already hello???? They went all in, as Fran (and Shishou) deserves!

OP is especially something, with all the tempo switch ups. I need full version ASAP!

[u/SecretYogurtcloset57]

Cute Fran is back yaaaay☺️🫶

[u/etiolatezed]

Like the new Necro character.

Felt the first season is a bit underrated.

[u/Rooby_VTuber]

Very happy to see this back, I really enjoyed the 1st season.

A tough fight right from the start, good to see some nice action.

Jean is quite the character but it looks like he could be a really good ally.

RIP Andy.

Good start to the 2nd season, looking forward to watching the next episode.

[u/AceSoldia]

My worries were for naught, .what a great premier..it seems like it will still be just as violent and maybe even darker with those slave kids

[u/_Sai]

We back!

RIP Andy.

[u/papakahn94]

Sword dad is back

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Glad to have this one back! Gonna be another fun season of Fran and Sword Dad. And lots of curry ofc lol. Fran floating while stuffing her little face full of curry was so cute. Like a little hamster or something haha.

Jan and Bernard seem like a fun duo. Looking forward to more adventures with them.

[u/zer0number]

Welcome back, Fran! I am so happy to hear your 'bye-bye' once again!

Am I crazy or did they change her eye color? She had blue eyes in the first season, right?

Jean is amusing. Naming his Skeleton wyvern Andy had me in stitches. Also. Do we think he is the kid in the flashback? They took off that kids arm, and when they actually showed that close up of Jean's hand it didn't look normal. Like he might have a skeleton hand.

Very, very happy to have murderfloof back. I have always loved this series.

[u/Guio → u/zer0number]

eyes

they also changed the color of her iris

[u/Rowdy91]

We may have lost ReZero and Clevatess today, BUT we also witnessed the return of FRAN!!!!!

Hopefully she sings about Dungeon Masters again.

[u/WiqidBritt]

Man, Fran is cool. Sword-wielding, spell-casting, air-jumping battle cat.

[u/VioletOrchid85]

Been an hour since release, still not on HiDive.

[u/Shantotto11 → u/VioletOrchid85]

It’s there now.

[u/whyamihere2473527]

Why am I not finding s2 e1 on hidive? It just says s2 e2 in 7 days & doesn't show an ep 1 at all

[u/epicfail1994 → u/whyamihere2473527]

It’s delayed. Worst streaming service I’ve ever had the misfortune of using

[u/whyamihere2473527 → u/epicfail1994]

Guess should've waited to get sub. I absolutely hate hidive but wasnt gonna skip this

[u/Shantotto11 → u/whyamihere2473527]

It’s up now.

[u/CrazyBird85]

Peak is back

[u/PeaceAlien]

Assuming the backstory is Jean's

[u/MibumIzichi]

Peak is back.

[u/cppn02]

Great to have these two back. And Jean is a great addition so far.

I also dig the new OP and ED. I Like them more than their S1 counterparts.

[u/actuallyrndthoughts]

Fun first ep, was even cuter and funnier than i remembered. Glad they brought the composer back, s1 OST rocked.

[u/MUDrummer]

Oh right, now I remember why I paid for hidive 2 weeks ago.

[u/mmcjawa_reborn]

OP makes me hopeful that this show won't get neutered like Skeleton Knight was.

[u/djthomp]

Well that was unbelievable amounts of fun. Fran and dad are back, it's been too long.

Jean is great too, a bit unhinged but I like the way he cares for and names his skeleton summons.

Very good OP and ED.

[u/various_porridges]

after the ED, the gave us s1 fran ancestor chant power-up battle music. it needs return for all the fights.

[u/deynyel]

Curry-loving, sword daughter is back! I missed her many reaction faces.

Already loving this new necromancer dude, Jean. He seems more reasonable than I first expected.

Looking forward to their rematch with the undead dungeon guardian.

[u/DiamonDawgs]

surprised by the seeming villain is shown right off the bat, there's definitely has to be more to him

[u/random_lyric]

Naww, Andy... bye-bye 🖤

Fun (though in-universe - quite harrowing) new start to the next arc! They really did lean into Fran's memeability in the ED lol, and as a member of the Fran-club I have no complaints!

Can't wait for the next episode!

[u/DateNightThrowRA]

Welcome back Fran and Shisho! I’ve missed you dearly

[u/DiscountCondom]

I am so happy to see this again.

[u/Revolutionary-Way640]

Man the encoding quality on this one is kinda bad :/

[u/BrokeEconomist]

Episode 1 doesn't seem to be on HiDive yet. However, the first episode for Season 2 listed is episode 2. Which means they are probably going to add 1 very soon. HiDive seems to remove the placeholder for an episode juswt before adding the real one.

[u/epicfail1994 → u/BrokeEconomist]

I went from excited to disappointed, lmao. I’m sure it’ll pop up but it would have been nice to have watch my favorite isekai on my lunch

[u/Shantotto11 → u/BrokeEconomist]

It’s up on HiDive now.

[u/Obaruler → u/BrokeEconomist]

Kinda glad HiDive nuked itself in europe.

Sword runs on one of Amazon Primes sub-channels in my country and it was there on time.

[u/AAA_BATT → u/BrokeEconomist]

It's already out on Bili with subs, that's why the thread was made

[u/epicfail1994 → u/AAA_BATT]

Release time for Hidive was also 15:30 UTC.

Hidive is a shitty platform so I’m not surprised

[u/goddessofthewinds]

So glad this is back.

Great OST as always. The OP was pretty dope. And so nice to see Fran again. Of course, she'd eat all the curry she can. The fight scene to the island was pretty fun. Can't wait to see more episodes. See y'all next week.

[u/LordVaderVader]

Welcome back

[u/theblazingsword]

I was not expecting a "So I'm a Spider, so what?" type of ED song, but I love it! I'm so excited this series is back!

[u/amourshipper_]

Yay curry is back

[u/DrZoark]

RIP Andy. Fran and Sensei are back. I love this show, haha.

[u/CatInALaundryBin]

why did she go from blue to purple eyes?

[u/DiaBoloix]

Curry is back on the menu, boys!!!!

[u/sennoden]

This is my favourite comfort fantasy (slash isekai)

I love Fran so much.

Give us season 3 already, and begin season 4

[u/Lytalm]

FZMZ is back is another banger opening! But somehow the end of it resemble what you'd hear from SiM on AoT.

[u/Niwaka_Samurai]

Jean Du Vix is a funny guy since Amanda mentioned him last season I hope we will get to know more about the time Amanda and him worked together. I was expecting Kishida Kyodan to do the op this season as well but the new op by FZMZ is really good. Hanabie. is on a roll. After young ladies don't Play Fighting games last season, we got a banger ed this season. A metal song with cute Fran expressions ❤️

Can't wait to see what this dungeon have in store for our gang. What's happening to those slave kids is so tragic! I believe this arc would be about saving those kids. 

[u/lixyna]

OP is a straight up banger holy moly

[u/Razor4884]

I love this series. I don't know how to explain it, but it gives off the feeling of a great D&D campaign.

[u/NegativeThee → u/Razor4884]

I got the exact same vibe. The party meets a wacky npc and joins them for a dungeon quest.

[u/Monsters_ghost]

Soooo.. no one cought the ff7 reference? 👀 Is it only me?!

[u/BoxSweater → u/Monsters_ghost]

What's the reference?

[u/Monsters_ghost → u/BoxSweater]

Aerith falling down from high in the church onto flowers

[u/Adventurous_Road5834]

Can anyone please confirm when the English dub will release on Hidive, will it be released on Oct 21?

[u/Yaggamy → u/Adventurous_Road5834]

There's nothing official yet, but it's very likely based on how they operate.

[u/APRengar]

I'm so happy!

Good production values. Good combat animations. Great comedic timing. Enough time to even give Andy a pretty emotional send off. Great OP and ED.

I'm so glad that even though it's isekai, this anime gets love and respect from the production committee and anime studio.

[u/OrangeBanana38]

/u/Nebresto Fran is bach!

[u/Shizzi]

I have rewatched for this season and now we are back after 4 years lets go

[u/italeteller]

Season 1 had good animation, and this is already looking better. Though the whiplash between curry Fran and the opening starting with the hanged catfolk in a lake of blood, and the ending going from torture scene to cute faces Fran was a lot

The thing I disliked the most about season 1 was that it didn't engage with the slavery part of the world as much, but it looks like this is gonna go much harder on it so I'm pumped

[u/saga999]

I'll never not get hyped for riding a flying sword. It's the GOAT method of traveling.

[u/Baby-Penewine]

its back!!!

[u/LordVaderVader]

Very fast pacing, but very good animation as well. It's gonna be interesting following this title this season. 

[u/Shadowmist909]

This skeleton guarded island is tough, but Fran and Teacher are tougher!

Fran crash landing into Jean's place was funny. But it was certainly a well met encounter. He did a nice job summoning Andy and successfully getting them on the island!

[u/InternationalCream30]

Been so long id completely forgotten id watched this.

[u/Bonvantius]

Andy's final breath attack felt like a reference to that one silly Godzilla scene where he's flying backwards with his atomic breath...

[u/beginnerflipper]

Love the op and ep! Super exciting to see this back

[u/Andreiyutzzzz]

Getting straight into it. So that kid in the flashback is definitely Jean right? And that place he was on is that land judging by the trees and bushes in the background

[u/ChironXII]

The adaptation is still good thank god

Are we confirmed only 1 cour again?

[u/PrestigiousEmu3085 → u/ChironXII]

yes only 1 with 12 eps

[u/_Fauxpaw]

I would die for Bernard.

[u/Socrets]

I know I'm coming in late, but I wanna shout out to the English sub translator for dating themselves as a Millennial by mentioning Cliff's Notes in their translation.

[u/LimeyLassen]

The animation this episode is really good. That aerial fight was hype.

[u/TheGSlayer]

back with cute Fran

[u/No-Effective3736]

The 8th-floor boss named Sentry and the skeleton knight kind of look like the kids in the flashback, don't they?
