Jeez, her character's changed quite a bit too. She's still a tanuki girl. And still cute. Hmm... Oh, she kinda wears the pants in the relationship now. Sometimes. I don't mind this. Be better if it was all the time.

I don't see the slave collar but if she was released there would have been drama about it, I'd think. The episode ended without any mention of slavery either way. I don't know.

I really enjoyed the episode though.

  Spoiler:  
I think there is just the slave seal, don't think the collar symbolized anything.

What is going on? People who treat demi-humans as slaves (in general) now give her sweets. Well, ok…

Was there anything specific about demihumans being treated poorly? I feel like it was mentioned but never really shown.

I don't remember.

  Spoiler:  
A new type of character which seems to be popular nowadays:
1. female
2. slave
3. must obey orders
4. but she is obedient anyways
5. happy about her situation
6. probably in love with her male master

I think it's an ideal waifu for a specific sort of people. I want to vomit.

Might be mixing this up with something else, but thought it was just a human superiority of the upper class. I don't think the working class cared that much in this one.

I believe it is a status quo but that’s still discrimination.


Seems to me most the masters want to free their slaves.

i just finished episode 3.

  Spoiler:  
I think now after he and Raphtalia (god she's soo cute, must protecc her with all my heart and soul) defended the village and saved all the villagers, people will come around to him rather than believing the rumors are true. Starting to hate the other hero's though, especially that underhanded slimy spear hero. I hope he gets his eventually (and the bitch that helped spear hero trick Naofumi out of all his money and gear)

The shield hero is a great hero, but not great enough to free his slaves. :P Granted, he needs her services, but can't he just hire her instead. She would be more than happy to serve him. And he is a guy from OUR world, not from that world. So there is no excuse. Just sayin.

I won't say anything more about this issue, because it gets boring.

I know I said I wouldn't talk about it anymore, but the new ep focused on this issue, so…

Oh, now we know that he just supports slavery.

Yay, now I can support the other side without any regrets. :) I f… loathe legalists.

Well, I don't like the other side either. It seems there are no likeable characters in this anime for me yet. But that's fine, maybe I'll find some interesting ones. No luck so far…

Oh, wait, there is one. I know, I'll join the team of Malty Melromarc. What she did was at least smart. ;)

It seems Raphtalia is the only good person. Too good for this dick.

  Spoiler:  
The other two heroes behaved properly this particular time.
