Great episode. Especially nice to hear the Orsted theme to help enunciate Rudy's trauma.
Sylphys voice actor also did an amazing job at her scene. Definitely could hear the pain and despair she felt from the mana disaster.
This episode seemed really rushed. There was a lot of things happening, felt like two episodes smashed one. Looks like they are rushing through some of the school arc to spend more time in the meat of what will happen later in the season.
Looking forward to this, thoroughly enjoyed the first season.
If the first two episodes is a bit too much for you it's better to just drop it now. Sexuality is a constant theme in MT and it will happen throughout.
Pretty great episode. This director is really great at adding comedy into scenes like the fight scene. Also a lot of small character details like how Julie is terrified of Rudy and hides behind Zanoba while also headpatting him. Also I like the characterization of how the two beast girls seem to be reformed ex delinquents who are trying to attend school naturally and so initially rebuff Rudeus attempting to fight them.
There's a lot of people in the thread bringing attention to how can the school allow obvious confinement. But maybe it's just all the recent magic school anime like Seven Spellblades, Mashle, and even OG Harry Potter, but magical student going missing and the school being fine with it seems a very common occurrence.
Probably got censored. To come out in the blu rays.
