Rating: B+ Between last episode and this one, I saw some commentary in some online forums lamenting that Bell was once again be the hero and solo the Juggernaut. Even if I didn’t already know what was going to happen (from reading the novels), I still think I would have soundly refuted that complaint. ForContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? IV episode 22 (season finale)”

Rating: B+ Original novel writer Fujino Omori is on record as wanting to have as many characters as possible fall for Bell, and he’s proven that statement to be at least half-serious; while some female characters have fixed romantic interest elsewhere (most notably Tiona, Mikoto, and Chigusa) and others are either neutral (Asfi), merely admirersContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?

Back before she discarded her pride for revenge, Ryu was a very proud and dignified elf, which made her the subject of muchContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? IV episode 14”

NOTE: Due to me somehow forgetting that I hadn’t written up episode 13 yet, these two episodes are being covered together. Rating – Both Episodes: B+ After focusing almost exclusively on Bell’s crew in episode 12, episode 13 gives a roughly even split to Bell/Ryu vs. Bell’s crew, with just a little bit of timeContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?
