The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System Episode 3: Episode 3

The strongest of the series so far. It successfully delivers on the promise of the show's title, offering a masterclass in how to turn a seemingly disadvantageous position into an overwhelming advantage. It is an exhilarating watch that proves the series is much more than just another generic power fantasy.

I can't with the animation art. It feels like someone just learned how to use digital art or discovered CG/ digital art for the first time. They're just spamming all kinds of weird lighting effects and 3D. Mulitple weird extreme angles for no reason at all. Weirdly noodly hair with too much detail. Just because you can do something extra detailed doesn't mean you should. It just doesnt look good. Its just so over the top and extra it makes it so hard to watch. Honestly the artstyle of the character itself isnt even bad at all but the animation and effects choices are just toooooo extra and dont look good. Even if the story is okay, it's just too hard to watch with all those extra effects and angles that hurt my eyes.

That corpse eater trait was a total game changer and the way the boss just ate the other undead to evolve was creepy but cool

The way Elma used the Parry skill to defend the F-rankers really changed the energy of the scene, and I can't wait to see how he handles that evolved Mad Head alone.

That parry skill was exactly what I wanted to see from Elma and watching those wights get wrecked was the highlight for me

Gotan got what he deserved for treating everyone like trash and now Elma has to clean up the mess against that level 40 boss

I felt so annoyed with how many times they showed stuff from the last episodes instead of just letting Elma fight the Ghoul Head and the animation style with the weird glow and spinning camera made it hard to see what was happening during the parry sequence but Elma standing his ground against the boss was a great cliffhanger

Tale acting like a total coward the second the wights showed up was hilarious, especially since he spent the first half of the raid talking down to Elma

Elma stood his ground against the Mad Head at the end while the other adventurers were acting totally useless and it made the power gap feel huge

The way the camera spins around during the graveyard fight is a bit much and it made the wight horde scene feel a bit messy

I couldn't believe those other adventurers just stood there crying while Elma used parry to stop the entire wight horde by himself

Gotan getting smacked by the Mad Head was satisfying after he spent the whole time acting like a big shot and ignoring the novices

I saw Elma's sword glow blue as he hit level 16 while cutting through the undead and it was satisfying to see the red mage finally shut up

That boss turning into a Mad Head right after they thought it was over was a decent twist, but the constant recaps of previous scenes made it take forever to get there
