Great Episode but Kept Doing the Same Mistake

[Oktay_Tuna · 7/10 · 10 October 2021]

I loved a lot of things in this episode. I loved how the plot progressed and how things played out and I am extremely excited for the next episode. I loved that Naofumi is now facing a bigger challenge than the ones he faced but the reason why I am not giving this episode a 9 or even a 10 is because of the dialogue. Not the dialogue between for example Raphtalia and Naofumi though, that was fine but where it really sucked was how Naofumi explained to, not the characters, but to us how things played or will play out. Some might argue it is inner narration and that previous episodes also had that but in this episode that self explanation is used excessively. "Now I am using this combo to do this and this means that and that..." as if it it is the first episode or a tutorial for the game. We know what you are doing, we have been watching you for 20+ episodes now. Rather than those cliche action/superhero dialogue(I mean Transformers, MCU movies etc. Also have this problem as well) I would have rather heard more dialogue which created character development. As I mentioned, I loved what this episode did, I just had a few problems in how it did it.
