1x05 A Young Lady and Violence

I'm looking forward to seeing Rudy working as a tutor for lady Eris. Like last episode hinted, Rudeus and Sylph were growing too dependent on each-other and needed space to become more independent. Its nice Paul spotted this and took steps to help Rudy mature on his own, really goes to show he's trying to be a good parent. And big props for Rudy sticking it through as Eris was aggressively against the tutoring, and to him trying to save Eris from the kidnappers, it goes to show how much he's already changed as a person compared to his last life.

I like the Ghislaine character, a sword king and bodyguard for the Greyrats (cousins). I can't wait to see more of her and Rudy's relationship as they teach each other.

Also, regarding lady Eris, it's clear she's the proto-typical tsundere character, but she's already opened herself up to the main character after the kidnapping incident, now accepting Rudy as her tutor. Also, her non-reaction to the sight of dead men after Ghislaine saved her and Rudy hints at her likely going through some stuff throughout her life. In Rudy's case, seeing the bloodied dead men reminded Rudy of his "death" and mortality, making him fear what'll happen if he dies this time, if this is truly his last chance to become a better person.

And man, did this episode have some good animation during the fight scene. I love how well-animated the magic Rudy used was. And the combat techniques he employed to stun and attack his enemy showed how hard Rudy's been training to keep up with Roxy. And man, the way the camera panned over Ghislaine and she came in to rescue him, and the lighting change when she employed her sword style, was just way too beautiful.
