Just eat the damn bugs and stop screaming about it.

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that Giga has apparently announced Duel Savior 2. Granted, it's not called that, but it has quite literally the exact same premise in every way. I'll be keeping an eye on it, and hoping they learned something from Material Brave. Also, hoping that it actually has an action side, since that's also something technically still in doubt at the moment.

Impressions:

Another rather tiresome episode, for largely the same reason as last week's, that the screaming cat took center stage for most of it. Apparently she's going to be the center of the first arc… or perhaps the entire run. That is… highly unfortunate. I am starting to find it amusing whenever the protagonist gets a line, just because he's such a useless, extraneous appendage to the show that it's almost like an afterthought when he gets enough attention just to speak. And yet, an entire character exists just to serve his every (non) whim.

Also unfortunate is that they decided after two episodes that we've had enough adventure, monster fighting, derpwolves, etc, and will be spending the whole episode sitting at the table and eating. Ostensibly, the plot of the episode was about setting up a Guild, but all they really had to do was fill out some paperwork. The second half seemed more concerned with what I have to assume are a bunch of rando other characters from the source game who pop up for a little cameo and then disappear back into the ether, both in the over-designed little girl flavor, and the somewhat racist hulking brute antagonist variety. The best one can say about either is that it would occasionally cut to the peanut gallery, and the same effort was most definitely not spent on them.
