Don’t quote me on this but I can see Riku doing a last minute rescue like they did for Hell Knight: Ingrid and have a happy ending since he is still alive and all. Though I have never played the VN which apparently has a good end and a supposed “fight” between Annerose/Riku against the mage dude. One can only hope?

I don’t like the new male voice actor for Rikuro.
Not that his acting is bad or something. Just the fact the producers didn’t care to even get a different actor but with somewhat similar voice makes it hard to not compare the two actors’ voices. Leading to increased sense of difference for the new actor.

Just starting the episode. Thoughts as I go.

Bleh. Gratuitous inexplicable scat-rape. Not off to a great start, Ep. 3.

…Well. *Now* I just feel like we skipped an episode or something.

The lead’s VA is really doing a good job here and not phoning it in at all. Bravo to him for that.

Daggome it, redhead. Way to turn into a Typical Hentai Girl all of a sudden. Anneroze has generally been better than this about that!

…I don’t know how to comment on competent but unremarkable sex scenes. Unless I just did. Huh.

And we cut to the fortune-teller, making that scene feel even *more* gratuitous than it already did.

Also, the reason is that she wants to have sex with you. I mean, duh.

…Well, Aisha keeps slipping in and out of model. Meh. Well, at least it’s a girl I personally find attractive, no offense to the red-head fans. (She *did* start to grow on me once she cut the “shy blushing virgin” shtick.)

Meh. One of my favorite things about the sex in the first two was the playful, sensual dialogue bits. Now they’re just narrating what’s happening to them *while* it’s happening to them, like every *other* hentai ever, as if this is trying to be some sort of radio drama. I mean, I guess the people listening on their ipods without watching the screen need a good wank too, but…

Also, Aish’s voice sounds much sexier when it’s good and low, instead of whatever it’s doing when she cums. Seriously, it sounds like a teenager’s voice cracking. And there’s a lot more looping stock footage too.

I probably sound like I hate this episode’s guts by now. I don’t, really. It’s fine. In any other series, this would be a decent effort. It’s just a noticeable decline in quality from the last two.

On the one hand, throwing the main antagonist in only at the end feels sloppy. On the other, I’m pretty sure from circumstantial evidence that the VN did the same thing, so… meh? At least they can hide behind the excuse of fidelity to the original text.

…So you’re going to extract her heart via… tentacle rape? There has *got* to be a more efficient way to go about this. Also, ghurk.

Heh. And Aish says the same thing seconds later.

Skipped over to the Raw to watch the post-credits preview stuff. It looks grim, but you can’t trust it beyond a general outline in this series anyway.

I’m not too worried about this going all Bad End. I mean, heck when they did Tentacle and Witches, they even fabricated a Harem End out of whole cloth! Most of Lilith’s adaptations stick to the “happier” ends, or at least the more bittersweet ones.

Like I said above, I didn’t hate this episode. I just didn’t feel like it was up to the standards of the first two. Heck, at least it was (mostly) rape-free, and all the weird scat-and-stabbings were concentrated into a quick, skippable portion of the opening. Here’s to an emotionally-satisfying finale, once the ryona fans have their pound of ogre-cock.

the opening gangbang is probably the only gangbang I will enjoy, taste of revenge
