Man, this episode. What the actual–? I was not expecting anything like this. I’m pretty sure we’ve gone beyond the realm of the first three RAAVM translated novels that I read, because I would have remembered this nonsense. Well, let’s get started. Still at Origin Stratum, Hulemy has programmed the transport circle so monsters can’t…

Wow, this episode. I enjoyed it, but it features a pretty huge infodump, so please bear with me. Still in the Raven’s camp, Klen puts Alicia’s Stream Splitter Regalia into his Shadow Pocket, saying it draws too much attention; Alicia is crushed to have her precious binky taken away. Nelluru comes out with Luna and…

Still in Origin Stratum, Boxxo reviews his options and realizes that for three million points, he can become a Level Three Vending Machine. What other possible abilities could Boxxo unlock that he doesn’t have already? The mind boggles. After the OP, our heroes start evacuating people out of the stratum, using the transport circle that…

Last time, our intrepid vending machine hero helped close the gap in the village wall for Clearview Lake Village, and the constant monster attacks have died down. Now, everybody is working together to rebuild the village, despite the heat. Hulemy is working on getting the transportation circle back up and running, while Lammis helps by…

Note: Crunchyroll’s subtitles keep switching between “Clen” and “Klen” for Clevatess’ human form. I’m going to stick with Klen because I like it better. Last time on Clevatess, Alicia got a whole bunch of bandits eaten by fish monsters while she sunk to the bottom of the lake in pursuit of Khordwar’s sword. Now, she…

When we last saw our heroes, Alicia took a plunge and battered her body on the rocky coast. Thanks to her undead status, she’s alive, but in no condition to fight. An apparition of Clevatess appears from her blood, and we learn that it’s the dark ichor in Alicia’s blood that keeps her undead; if…

We’re continuing with the siege of Clearflow Lake. Suori popped in at the very end to lend aid last week, and it turns out her aid is a whole lot of money. A group including Boxxo and Lammis goes to Suori’s mansion to get the gold coins out of her safe; the money will give…

Content Warning: Sexual Assault I was planning on covering Clevatess, then I saw how dark the second episode was and went “nope.” I felt bad that I went back on my word though, so I decided to do it: if I can handle Dan Da Dan, I can handle this– probably. Last time, our heroes…

I realize this is not a pleasant topic, but since it keeps coming up, there’s a few things about it I want to get off my chest. I already started talking about it in my post about Dan Da Dan, explaining why I was still willing to watch it even with the repeated SA of…

When we last left our intrepid vending machine hero and his friends, they had just gotten bamboozled by the Demon Lord, who purposely baited them into sending their best warriors to fight him while his minions terrorized the villages. The group hurries back, but it’s too late; Clearview Lake Stratum’s main town has been all…
