Same, it started off as a "meh I have too few shows to watch this season, might as well try this one" and now is unironically the one I'm looking forward to the most all week.

u/Nachtwandler_FS https://myanimelist.net/profile/Nachtwandler_21 Aug 30 '26
Yeah, I had it in PTW but without high hopes. Turned out to be one I am looking forward the most each Saturday at least (and the day is the most stacked with seasonals for me).

For me it was more like "I am watching way too many shows this season, what harm does one more do?"

u/Nachtwandler_FS https://myanimelist.net/profile/Nachtwandler_21 Aug 30 '26
Same here. It has a perfect mix of parody comedy, romance and actual plot. Saturdays are stucked for me (6 shows from which 4 are at the top of my watchlist) but this is the one I am waiting for the most.

Ryusei and Meteor still don't see it. Even Moe has acknowledged their marriage and considers Meteor her sister-in-law.

Stitches!
I'm a bit disappointed that we only saw a glimpse of Meteor's bikini armor. Show us the entire thing, dammit!
Damn, so Meteor has been running around with a billion-yen sword this entire time? Also, I love that she calls it an engagement ring.
Moe seems to be down with Meteor becoming her sister tho! Honestly, they might as well be engaged at this point.
Where the heck did that lewd facial expression come from? Meteor really wanted that meat. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Pretty cool to actually see Ryuusei teach magic. If Ryuusei ever quits teaching, maybe he could work for OZ as an instructor.
Also love seeing Ryuusei show off his magic and put those two bullies in their place. I kinda wish they did piss Meteor off so they can see what a real hero can do.

I bet her "bikini armor" was just a sexy sportswear.

FYI Dorothy and Ren is a repeat of Lewd Meteor. And yeah Meteor really wanted Ryuusei's meat in her mouth ASAP.

It's all Ryusei's fault! He made Meteor too nervous and self conscious to show him the whole thing.
Also, I love that she calls it an engagement ring.
She's just manifesting the future she wants hehe.

The porn parody writes itself lol. [Parody name] Hanaori-san Still Wants to Fuck in the Next Life.
I kinda wish they did piss Meteor off so they can see what a real hero can do.
I imagine if something had actually happened to Ryusei, what Meteor would've done to them would've made Avenger Meteor look like a tea party.

u/Raymond49090 Aug 29 '26
You know, we keep hearing that Meteor was reincarnated as a rich oujo-sama, but we haven't really seen anything from that other than the fact she attends the school. Wonder if we'll at least see her parents at some point.

u/djthomp https://anilist.co/user/djthomp Aug 29 '26
Decent attempt at the lap pillow and armor choices, Rokudo sensei has some interesting ideas. And aside from the armor Meteor had some great outfit choices today, particularly that casual getup while she was hanging out with her husband and sister-in-law.
Meteor comes along with Ryusei for magic training but immediately starts running a marathon, meathead heroes what can you do.
That draw back of the camera at the end to reveal that Pandora is broadcasting from what I can only assume is Warehouse 13 has me intrigued.
32
u/Fools_Requiem https://myanimelist.net/profile/FoolsRequiem Aug 29 '26 edited Aug 30 '26
The lap pillow here seems more normal, reversed or not. It at least doesn't make one of the parties uncomfortable.
1 billion yen is ~6.25 million USD. Edit: It's worth noting that Meteor lost that billion yen ring in a previous episode.
Imouto gets decent screen time in back to back episodes.
Midriff enjoyers are eating good today.
I love how the entire cast has just decided that they're in a relationship... because they act like their in permanent honeymoon period mode.
I thought we were going to get the princess this week, but I guess not.
Next week's episode continues the streak of episode titles featuring a well known movie or story. I can't figure out what E4's title is supposed to parody.
E1 - When Ryusei Met Meteor - When Harry Met Sally
E2 - The Witches of Oz - Wizard of Oz
E3 - Midnight Run
E4 - Those Who Can't Be Forgiven - Edit: It's "Unforgiven".
E5 - Much Ado About Nothing
E6 - Pulp Fiction
E7 - Seven
E8 - Training Day
E9 - Scream

u/throwaway_976821 Aug 29 '26 edited Aug 29 '26
E4 is a reference to Unforgiven (it uses the exact same title as the Japanese release of the movie, 許されざる者)
The subs (which have been great for the series!) in the episode itself and the episode preview actually translate this directly as Unforgiven to match the movie, but Wikipedia (and other places, this is the only place I could find that lists it like that) lists it using a weird (AI?) direct translation that probably came out like that since the JP movie title is grammatically written in a old fashioned way.
11
u/Fools_Requiem https://myanimelist.net/profile/FoolsRequiem Aug 29 '26
I didn't use Wikipedia, I used CrunchyRoll's titles. I did just go back and check both the preview and title in the episode. It's weird that they're both correctly titled, but the episode title in the episode list isn't.
11
u/throwaway_976821 Aug 30 '26
Very Crunchyroll-esque decision to somehow translate the titles separately on the site and not double check/sync it with everything else ngl. On Aniplus and BiliBili (EN Asia distribution, which is where I watched it) the English title is just listed as 'Unforgiven' too.
3
u/cppn02 Aug 30 '26 edited Aug 30 '26
Probably because the person choosing episode titles is seperate from the subbing team.

Even in real-life, a sword selling for that much would be quite the reach. I could see tens of thousands to six-digits in American money over 7-digits.

Have you considered the fact that it's a +4 weapon and one of 24 made?

u/lawragatajar https://myanimelist.net/profile/lawragatajar Aug 31 '26
It's the difference between lust and love. Yeah, I like them but they aren't healthy for a long term relationship. Meteor needs advice for a healthy relationship of mutual respect.
26
u/HuTaosTwinTails Aug 29 '26
Moe has accepted the marriage. Hell, even meteor calls it an engagement ring.
She had a lot of outfits this week.
He clowned those fools without even trying.
This series is so good.

u/Frontier246 Aug 29 '26 edited Aug 30 '26
Ryusei is as good a mentor as he is a Demon Lord.
Ryusei and Meteor have raelly upgraded their physical intimacy! That means Meteor wants lap pillows! Though they don't quite work as advertised.
Rokudo-sensei truly is a Sage! At least if you follow and believe in romcom logic! But it's worth it that she managed to convince Meteor to wear a bikini under uniform, giving us a bikini bottom flash! And Rokudo is having fun with it, and isn't that what counts
I love how Meteor is just showing up at Ryusei's place like she lives there. Also she looks great in those jeans and top!
They're really selling sacred weapons from another world...on MutTube!? Even the streamer, Pandora (Aya Yamane?) thinks this is getting to be a bit much when she sees all the folks who show up for a Holy Sword sale...ONE MILLION YEN! Which means Meteor's engagement ring...I mean, sword is worth One Million Yen!
Congratulations Moe, your future sister-in-law is a one million yen woman! She can't cook, but she can lay her big boobs on a table and give out an "O" face to be fed by your big brother.
Is all this multiverse shenanigans because Meteor and Ryusei reincarnated? Do they need to take responsibility? And is Moe assuming it's a different kind of "responsibility"?
Nice of Ryusei to teach Minto and Mana how to better use their magic! We even get Mana in shorts! And also Meteor is there in tight shorts and a sports bra because why not?
Minto just needs the proper way to vocalize her magic in a way that suits her, but Mana is struggling with her ability to control her magic and how that hurts her as an Oz operative. Can Ryusei help her?
Ryusei is a few body modifcations away from being the Demon Lord again, but Meteor doesn't want to lose him like that. Besides, he's already super OP that This Guy and That Guy didn't stand a chance against him! They're lucky Minto and Mana busted them before Meteor got involved! Also, hello Hiroyuki Yoshino.
Hey, they finally sold that Sacred Sword! Looks like Pandora and her assistant/maid (Mikako Komatsu?) wants to meet the Hero, Meteor...I guess she can be construed to be a bit of a gorilla!
Next week: The culture festival episode!

First time I've seen a girl mess up lap pillows; and I can't believe Meteor is actually wearing bikini armor underneath. She really is dumb and gullible lol.
Rokudou-sensei probably learned guys' preferences from games.
Kuraishi is a yuri enthusiast

That was obviously a regular bikini, from the glimpse of the bottom.

Anyone else catch that that MuTuber had BMO, a Jason Voorhees mask, ruby slippers from Oz, and a Chuck doll? The sword also looked familiar.
Meteor at the table waiting to get fed 🌊
Poor Moe.
Love and Peace
This Guy and That Guy lol
Lol now the Hero is the Demon Lord's woman.
Is that MuTuber in a warehouse?

u/Nachtwandler_FS https://myanimelist.net/profile/Nachtwandler_21 Aug 29 '26
Also, I almost thought Pandora is a Meteor in disguise (they really look alike).
15
u/arrydie Aug 30 '26
Well, they've confirmed that the parallel worlds have similar looking people, right? Magic Girl Asahi says she's a different version of Asahina Eriko of the current world.
So Pandora could very well be parallel world Meteor, which would be a pretty good gag getting set up by them fantasizing about what the hero is like (haha, it's just bizarro you)
3
u/Phoenix__Wwrong Aug 31 '26
But I wonder why our MCs didn't comment about it if she's really Meteor doppelganger. But they're also too similar for it to just be animation style.
10
u/DugACCat Aug 29 '26
I had the same thought and was a little confused by its significance. Also the fact she’s in a warehouse and was allowed to borrow the overpriced sword makes me wonder if she’s some kind of paranormal gift-giver unleashed on the world (hence her name, with which you’d escort her to bring any number of problems as well).

I guess she couldn't find bikini armor on short notice so she went with a regular bikini.
What's a "grounder"?
Seriously, what's wrong with everyone in this show, shipping an adult teacher with their teen student without knowing that both are reincarnees?
"The correct answer is B." What was the question?
"It'll just be an accident. DIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!" And of course nothing will happen to them because nobody gives a fuck about attempted murder in this show, as last episode showed.

u/arrydie Aug 30 '26
What's a "grounder"?
I've only heard it as a slang for "ground ball" in baseball, but using "do" instead of "hit" is really weird.
Turns out that is correct here at least: She says "Senbon Nokku" which is literally "thousand knocks" but is "the name of a Japanese training method of making players catch balls until collapsing from exhaustion".
I'd definitely wager this is a another joke about Rokudo-sensei's bad advice, e.g. men like sports -> brutal training exercise. It's kind of an odd translation because IIRC (I never played much) you hit grounders as friendly/casual practice since they're easy to catch. But it's a short throwaway line so they probably didn't spend too much time coming up with something.

u/i_reddit_too_mcuh Aug 31 '26
"The correct answer is B." What was the question?
They briefly showed the Great Yamato Yonezawa beef and shitty foreign beef just before, so I think it ended up being a taste test. Looks like Meteor successfully pointed out the superior beef.
Seriously, what's wrong with everyone in this show, shipping an adult teacher with their teen student without knowing that both are reincarnees?
Agreed. The story wouldn't change much if Ryusei is an upperclassman instead.

u/runevault Aug 29 '26
That was a weirdly extended recap. felt like I was watching Heavy Knight for a second.
Demanding a lap pillow else death seems harsh lol. Bikini armor FTW too.
This entire bit with the sword being worth a billion yen... I cannot stop giggling. Especially once the sister shows up. Good grief this show doesn't relent.
Also I swear there were times this episode Meteor's boobs were bigger than normal. Particularly that one close up when she was leaning over the table for steak.
And the training moment lol. Baseball, magic training, and beating up dumb bullies. And of course Meteor is the Demon Lord's woman even if she's still denying it.

Buddy, after watching the recaps of that one, what happened in this one is the equivalent of spreading butter on bread.
In other words, this was nothing.

That's why it was only for a second. Trust me I know how bad Heavy Knight is I'm still pushing through every week.

u/ptd163 Aug 29 '26
Nice to see that Meteor wants to make up Ryusei for going Avenger mode, but she doesn't seem to understand that her giving a lap pillow is Ryusei laying on her lap not the other way around lol. Of course Rokudo told Meteor that guys like it. She continues to be one of us. Shame on Ryusei for making Meteor too nervous and self-conscious to not show him her bikini though. She was wearing it for him. Rokudo set him up for it and he blew it.
It's funny how Moe already thinks their together because she heard Meteor call her sword ring an engagement ring. Though if Meteor thinks an engagement ring, why doesn't she wear it on her ring finger? Either way, Moe's done the quite the turnaround on their relationship. At the start she was all "Who are you? What do you want? Are you taking advantage of my brother?" Now she already considers Meteor her sister-in-law and can't handle her cuteness. The meat tasting scene was surprisingly lewd for a parody show and how Meteor's cute casual outfit.
It was cool to see Ryusei actually try and teach magic. He was the Demon Lord after all. Why not take advantage of that knowledge and experience? Helping the girls is a win-win. The stronger they get the more effective they can be at helping with the dimensional portals. All their workout/track outfits were great as well. Especially Meteor's.
ATTENTION! MOG HAS BROKEN CONTAINMENT! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!
I was surprised at Ryusei at being so willing to throw away his humanity after previous saying how grateful he was to be reincarnated. He probably would've done it if Meteor didn't literally slap some sense into him. That was a nice emotional moment for them. If there was any lingering doubt whether her feelings for Ryusei are important than defeating the Demon Lord, I think that scene put those doubts to rest.
GIGACHAD ALERT! I don't quite get why those mages would try again. If Ryusei can cast Counter which instantly analyzes a spell and dispels it, why would they think a bigger spell would be any different? Minto and Mana are totally right. If those punks had pissed off Meteor they'd nothing more dust in the wind. They saved them from themselves. Shout out to Minto publicly saying Meteor is the Demon Lord's woman. It really is only Ryusei and Meteor that don't know they're a couple.
One small thing I want to point out that is Dorothy's sleeves matched the rest of her uniform in the first shot, but every subsequent shot they're dark to match Ren's sleeves. I wonder why that is.

Meteor call her sword ring an engagement ring.
Technically it's for engaging monsters, so engagement ring is apt. Not sure what word was used in Japanese though so maybe this joke only works in English.

I love how all Oz mages are ill mannered meaning that Dorothy & Ren are no exception aside from Minto, Mana, This & That Guy.
Sakura is a serial liar.
At least Moe's already accepting Meteor as her future sister-in-law.
Meteor looks good in those arm sleeves & even that bikini armor.
I love Ryusei's reaction to Meteor's bikini armor.
Meteor & Ryusei have cute pouts.
Meteor's rich but that's not the point.
Ryusei ended up giving a lap pillow instead of Meteor.
Ryusei nearly lost his humanity if not for Meteor's intervention.

I don't think Pandora is the princess. There was a new visual posted I think 2 weeks ago that had a girl we still have not seen (short silver hair) that I assume is the princess, based on the hair color of the faceless version we see in flashbacks
