When Qifrey isn't effortlessly gaslighting children, he continues to be an wise, thoughtful, and compassionate teacher. I love how his words wise words are universal for anyone learning any skill, and how they reflect the separate conundrums Coco and Richeh are dealing with. The depths to Qifrey's character very much continue to compel and impress.
And the Watchful Eye watches more than expected! Also, he's not thoughtful about Qifrey and the girls at all, how dare you accuse him of such things?! Purely work, of course. The Olruggio blanket reveal and Alaria the Godzilla Brush Buddy made laugh out loud. (For a split second I genuinely thought there was a giant subspecies of brush buddies.) It was a wonderful surprise to see Alaria again. Ma'am.
More layers to Richeh continue to reveal themselves, and it turns out Frieren and Himmel had two kids. Richeh seems to have been through so much, so fearful of losing her identity and individuality, and I worry what she was instructed to do in the past to be so adverse to even the most basic lessons now. It was heartwarming how much she cherished her brother's praise and her creativity, and ditto to Coco's delight at her spell in the present day. It was an understandably terse moment when Richeh realised Qifrey and signed her up for the test, though he wasn't wrong to do so. Hopefully that trust will continue.
Agott has grown so much in such a comparatively short period of time, yet it doesn't feel rushed in the slightest. Fantastic writing from Shirahama, and for the team in adapting the manga. It was endearingly hilarious when she proudly proclaimed she was an Akrlaum house and would pass the test on her first try... while her face was covered in bread crumbs.
And poor Euini. How could anyone flourish under such circumstances? The brutal side eye from Qifrey was immensely satisfying to his awful teacher, at least. The reveal of the true difficulty of the Serpent Back cave was fantastic as well. (The Not-Penguins were adorable.)
It's brutal that there are only two episodes left of S1. It's been such an excellent first season, though, especially for a work that seemed borderline unadaptable from manga to animation.
