- those stock sound effects tho.. or the bow string sounding like a duct tape haha.
- WTF? Did the tribe really mock Chris in the end, despite his heroic deeds, just because he felt bad about finishing an enemy? Even the warrior girl gave him s**t!
- the Wings didn't actually help that much and kinda disappeared after a few fights.
- that ending with the flying bike was rushed and nonsensical

- why did Himmel become so small with age?? At first I thought it was the dwarf Eisen lol.
- this was just added for comedic effect, but a sleepyhead adventurer like Frieren woudn't go very far with only half day of light for traveling..
- I thought that her suitcase was a magical "bag of holding", but instead it was just a normal one. How does she even carry\keep all the trinkets collected from dungeons?
- btw Frieren must have a super memory to remember all those minor things happened many decades before.
- I'm surprised that Frieren & Fern were capable to levitate, but they didn't know a spell to protect themselves from cold weather hehe.
- the different perception of time of elves was a bit exaggerated sometimes. For example, years in prison wouldn't really have been brushed off as if they were nothing.
- after witnessing the power of curses also vs mages, it was madness to travel without an experienced priest!
- the exams for the first-class mages were quite unbalanced and idiotic. Why killing off decent wizards during the selections? But I guess it's the usual deadly tournament trope.
- btw Ubel murdered the cloacked guy in the past and she was just let go. Wow, nice justice system.
- the clone fight was so epic, expecially when she used a black hole spell!
- that brief scene at the end with the old mage wanting to kill Frieren (just to be remembered) was a bit silly and pointless.
- in this anime the characters remain too unfazed by serious wounds..

the same twist we just saw about the monster with more than one body!

- the final scene about Nezuko almost made me cry. When the song started, I feared she was going to die for real. 😭
- so the main uber vampire was created by.. a damn medicine? I hope there will be more explanation about that, because atm it's quite poor.
- btw the swordsmiths should change village at the end, since everything is already destroyed and the enemy now knows its location..

(the guardians and servants did whatever they want)

(for example Rider and Kirei)

- I'm not sure why the Graal appeared and absorbed Gilgamesh at the end. Also, wasn't it destroyed? 🤷‍♂️
- I don't know how Rin could make a sudden pact with Saber while she was trapped between the swords (wasn't a long ritual required for it?)
- and why she didn't command Saber to rescue her while she was tied? (she risked death there)
- Rin and Shirou were a bit quick to forgive Shinji. He hated them and wanted to kill them!

1- Why didn't Lucy immediately tell David that the company wanted to use him as a test subject?
By doing so she caused him to unknowingly fall into their trap.

2- what was the meaning of Edgerunners BD 32? Why did it contain 31 and why did David put it on the shelf higher than the others?

- IMO the authors made a small mistake by not showing\reminding the reason why David pushed himself to the limit so much. After the time-skip it almost seemed to be a matter of greed.
Maybe showing debts to pay or technology costs would have helped (or even the price of the flight to the moon, since that wasn't such a spoiler)

- the kidnapped boss scene had too much things going on in quick succession, so it was easy to miss details
(Lucy discoveringing the info, David freezing and Tanaka waking up, Lucy being recovered, Maine getting crazy, the police incoming, etc..)

Btw damn, that ending made me shed a tear

- Rem's plot went immediately in the background. I expected it to be the main "quest", but the Sanctuary took over, and then it was resolved off-screen at the very end. They didn't even show Ram's reaction

- I really liked the Witches, expecially Echidna.
Minerva (Wrath) was a bit weird tho, not really fit for her title (healing and some anger fits aren't very symbolic).
And Carmilla (Lust) was more kawaii than sexy. Pandora (Vanity) and Typhon (Pride) were a question mark, instead.

- btw I thought that Echidna simply wanted the "Return by Death" power to go back and resurrect, but her pact was more generic instead.

- Otto seemed like a background NPC, but he suddenly became Subaru's best friend and ally? That was a bit weird.
Roswaal addressed that fact too, but it's not like Subaru created such connection by himself. It was a kind of Deus Ex Machina.

- Subaru finally acquired some powers, but.. he only used them 1 time for a silly fight against Garfield. That was underwhelming.

- I didn't like Garfield, he was an uninteresting dumb character. And then he became the only one who could defeat Elsa, just with shapeshifting powers? Meh

- I wished that Subaru, after dying, used his knowledge to allow allies to win fights that previously ended in defeat. Instead they all went well without a reason.

- I hoped that Beatrice could be saved by Ryuuzu, but instead the authors had to follow the harem trope even for her. She wasn't even surprised to see her clone..

- the big monsters\beast were a bit goofy and not very scary. Also it didn't help that their growls were just made by voice actors lol

- wasn't the Sanctuary originally created to protect Echidna? The Warlock of Melancholy still managed to reach her before any barrier.
- how did she die then? She previously said that Satella (Envy) killed all the other witches.
- also, why bothering to create the trial to release the barrier?

- what happened to the witch of Vanity? What was she seeking inside the seal?

- why did Echidna hate Emilia?
- why did Satella look like Emilia?
- Minerva behave as if she were Emilia's mother..

I didn't expect the author to kill Rengoku already.. damn.
On one hand it's good that I didn't predict it (I mean, so soon), but on the other.. it feels a bit of a waste of an interesting character.
I hoped for some cool training scenes, but no.
Even if ep1 is considered filler, I appreciated that we could at least see Rengoku a bit more.

Btw, I'm disappointed that Nezuko's (now controlled) Blood Art power was never explained or even addressed with surprise.
But it seems a bit of a common issue in this anime.

- cassette girl + 20min walk + robot on the road-> the best entries of the list, even if the last one felt a bit creepy..
- bureau of proto society -> quite overrated, but still good. The "plot twist" was revealed since the start, but that final side-eye after the anime clip was so funny XD
- me! me! me! + girl + chronic -> I didn't know this exhibition was the first release of such shorts. They were a bit too flashy, gory and unsettling, but also interesting. The third clip was just a rehashed mess, tho.
- power plant n33 -> why did the robot attack the tamed and asleep kaiju? Was the (confused) message about nature retaking control or something?
- dragon dentist -> it was ok overall, but the teeth absorbing humans was a bit bulls**t shock factor.
- bubu & bubulina + machspeed -> I'm not sure why these two have been so low rated. I liked the different art styles and the stories were ok-ish.
- I can friday by day + obake-chan-> quite random\absurd events, but they were entertaining overall.
- yamadeloid -> so this ended like a weird stage play? Oh well, it was still good.
- rapid rouge -> this felt like it had a "Don't rebel, for the good of the country" message that I never liked.
- memoirs of amorous gentlemen -> 2 weird stories about perverts.. I liked the style, but that head polishing.. WTF
- iconic field + gloomy night -> these were a clusterf**k of ideas going nowhere.
- comedy skit -> this became fun when the twin girls appeared, but before it was boring. Too limited scenery, also.
- three fallen witnesses -> what was the point of this? Did the note at the end make the assassin regret his actions? I'm annoyed about the wasted potential of this short.
