It's an epic fantasy story. It's not isekai. They don't "assume" the beast lords exist, they know they do because they have been fenced in long enough to have lost their maps of the world beyond their current caged in lands. Good classic anime art style. Good VAs. I didn't even realize it was a double episode until the credits rolled. Looking forward to next week.
The whole 'humanity wont change' post-credits shit is fucking retarded and completely flies in the face of the hopeful themes that the writer started establishing starting with Marley. The fact that the Eldians had common ground with each other through their awful lives no matter where they lived, the realization that the Marleyans really aren't any different from them, saving that baby despite the hopelessness of the rumbling, the speech from that Marleyan commander.
I'll give it another shot. I went in not open-minded. I did the same to Sword of the Demon Hunter last season, and I ended up liking it after I shut it off early because the dude was hitting his daughter and I assumed it was just going to be that type of show. So I'll maybe watch it for real tonight or tomorrow.
I agree. I've been enjoying that show since episode 1 came out. It's actually the 3rd season of the show. The first was a long time ago, then the second was girl power nonsense. I haven't seen them yet, but maybe I'll get around to it.
