Slime-Killing Witch 2, episode 5

This week brings back Our Watery Tart Spirit Mama for, well, momma lessons. School, shopping, bedtime stories, reverse aging, a little light kidnapping; y’know, the usual.

Bumpkin & Harem, episode 5

Our Blue-Haired Young Pickpocket comes in from the cold, and she not only looks older than Our Legal-Loli Head Wizard, she dresses like she’s ready to graduate to adult crime. Seriously, where do these fantasy worlds come up with daisy dukes for hot gals to wear unbuttoned, when nobody else in the world seems to wear denim at all? Not that Our Hero’s Sword responds to either of them that way; he may be the only man in town who doesn’t wonder what it would be like to double-date the jailbait.

Anyway, since she’s in the ED animation with a sword, we know Blue is going to continue hanging out with Sword Daddy in some fashion. If he had the slightest inkling of exactly how Former Female Students feel about him, he’d think twice about training Yet Another Underage Treat.

Verdict: this one’s got some sass, at least; a nice contrast with the others. No redhead this week, though.

A-Rank Adventure Harem, episode 16

They blew half the episode on wrapping up the Rain-stealing-bozo B-story, so that when they finally got around to getting everyone into the bath together, they’d handed over the character art to a group of fourth-graders. They did airdrop Our New Magic Loli into the tub with them, but they forgot to bring Jamie. It’s not like she didn’t have time to travel to join them, since they made Our Hapless Harem Hero take two weeks to get home from last week’s big fight.

Verdict: it’s nice that the prince who was after Rain turned out to be a decent guy who wanted her adventuring talents, but not being able to draw the haremettes well in their moment of wet naked triumph is inexcusable. And they can’t excuse the lack of Jamie by pointing at the source material; it’s an actual trope to rearrange events in a harem comedy to get a gal onscreen early.

(proper bath scene is unrelated, dammit)
