The episode plays things pretty safe. The strongest part is Ray’s calm personality and the hints about his past as the “Iceblade Sorcerer.” It’s entertaining, but not instantly groundbreaking. It keeps things engaging with confident pacing and enough intrigue to make you continue watching.

They really save the rest of the animation budget for Ray's last fight lol. Honestly, I do not understand why it's always brought up that Ray's the strongest as he time-and-time again is shown to struggle quite a bit. This show only tells the audience things without showing much for it. Also, I saw barely any growth from any character besides Albert especially with Ray, who's suppose to be the main character. I don't hate this show but it's lacking in terms of story. [4.55/10]

How is it the short story has more nuance than this entire anime. Though, I love Lily White, she's an icon I fear. The end had a good mystery which is building.

The maid outfit gag is pretty funny but something about Lydia being jealous throws me off. Also, the movements are very stiff and expressions are lacking consistency.

This was the end of the chavalier, which I think was pretty rushed for a tournament. Now we are moving onto the culture festival. In general, the animation for the fights looked like powerpoint icons but awful.

I respect that there was discussion on something close to depression! I hope that we can see more nuanced takes of it later in the series. Though the animation has been faltering slightly.

This episode was pretty funny for the entry of Lily White and our muscle boys being silly. I enjoyed the armour for the chavalier too!

A nice wrapping up of the series..A good action filled episode with a stunning visual and great pace of the storyline..great character development and storyline..a good conclusion for the ending..

A great story progression..nice pace of storyline with a good character development and bonds..a good way for a filler in story development..an unexpected event occurred that make story more fun and enjoyable
