Rating: 4 In the original novels, the downtime between the Moss Huge part of this arc and Ryu part of the arc is an epilogue that amounts to only five pages. That doesn’t allow anywhere near enough content to make a full episode, so that the revelation about what Ryu is seemingly up to canContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?

The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 7
Rating: B As expected, a crisis is afoot involving the demonic appearances, and as some of the characters started to suspect last episode, Olba is connected to it. In the end, though, resolving the demon part of this affair seemed anticlimatic compared to the indications at near the end of the episode about who andContinue reading “The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 7”
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? IV episode 5
Rating: A- Over the course of the franchise, Bell Cranel has fought a number of epic battles, but in most of those he has been fighting from the underdog position. The circumstances are always desperate, the foe is always stronger, and the look of grim determination is always on his face. But not this time.Continue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? IV episode 5”
The Devil is a Part-Timer! episode 5
Rating: B That there would be major consequences for one wall of the “Devil’s Castle” getting blown out last episode stood to reason, as this series just doesn’t hand-wave details like that. Hence, that the devils and Suzuno would be temporarily evicted while landlord Mikitty had repairs done was to be expected. What wasn’t expectContinue reading “The Devil is a Part-Timer! episode 5”
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? IV episodes 3-4
Rating: B+ Among the other series that I am still following this season is Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World, which I’m sticking with mostly to see if an isekai series where sex is a core element can actually amount to anything. Even though DanMachi is not an isekai series, both are still RPG-drivenContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? IV episodes 3-4”
The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 4
Rating: B+ Last episode ended with a crisis centered around Alas Ramus: despite Chiho’s delaying action, Gabriel was coming back for Alas Ramus in the morning, and neither the Devil King nor the Hero had the power to stop him. In the past, Maou confronted these challenges with a healthy dose of cockiness, even ifContinue reading “The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 4”
Special Preview: FUUTO PI
Side Note: Due to my attendance at the Gen Con game convention on August 4-7, this week’s episode reviews for DanMachi IV and The Devil is a Part-Timer!! will either be delayed much more than normal or skipped entirely. If skipped, they will be covered with the episodes airing on 8/11. Streams: Crunchyroll on SundaysContinue reading “Special Preview: FUUTO PI”
The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 3
Rating: B When is the idle babble of a little kid not so idle? When that child turns out to have been grown from a shard of one part of the Sephiroth. The introduction of Alas Ramus started the greater plotline of the franchise, and this is the point where that plot really starts toContinue reading “The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 3”
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? IV episode 2
Rating: B+ The first episode was well-spent preparing for Hestia Familia’s first on-the-books Guild-assigned expedition, so with episode 2 the whole gang actually gets down to business. The result is a well-balanced episode which showcases much of what has made DanMachi so entertaining so far. Although the quintet of Bell, Lily, Welf, Mikoto, and HaruhimeContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? IV episode 2”
The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 2
Rating: B The first episode ended with the bombshell revelation that Alas Ramus, the toddler who appeared from a golden apple and was capable of stopping Better Half with her bare hands, regards Satan and Emilia as her parents. This episode starts by showing that she’s absolutely adamant about that belief, no matter how littleContinue reading “The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 2”
