Marie got the experience the wonders of life again. What an episode for her with all those moments. I think the catch is that she enjoyed the experience the most because she is with Kazuhiho.

Some of her moments had a childish vibe to it but that's just Marie in a nutshell.

Only one more week of Marie left 😔 she and KazuHIRO visiting his granddad was so sweet. It’s like meeting your in laws for the first time. I wish his grandmother could’ve lived to see it, she’d be so proud of him.

Very cute episode as per with Marie being amazed by a traditional Japanese home. Loved the light spirit summoning scene, it’s cute that even in this world Marie can control the spirits. But has there ever been a series where we didn’t know the MCs name until 11 episodes in 😂 my jaw was on the floor when he said his real name wtf! Marie constantly repeating it to get used to saying it was so cute!!

That ending got me wondering tho, maybe Kazuhiro world traveling ability is hereditary because his grandad seems pretty familiar with it and says to enjoy their time over there 🤔. Gonna be sad to see this end next week, hopefully we get lots of Wridra too

I was betting that Grandpa knew & maybe could go there. And I won. His guesses about Marie were way TOO perceptive! LOL He clearly knew something.

@Sheol01 A reasonable conjecture.

Marie was very sensual with her lips when trying the shumai.

"Oh, Karuhiro, you sure have gotten big"
Ywah, that's what happen when you give children food, they get bigger.

.
If you want to keep them small and cute, you have to really restrict their food supply,

"Kitty, I'm counting on you! Go and look!" 😁

"Yes, I am." Gambere, Mariabelle.

Wow, Marie can do spirit magic in Kazuhiro's world.

Looking at the purse gift, I had a thought. Could they transport very things, that are usable as containers, between worlds, if they stash food in them? Like maybe wrapping up a sandwich in an article of clothing.

We never got to see the picture of the grandma, I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but the grandpa does know. Maybe the grandpa lived through something similar and met someone over there. Who knows.

I was expecting the 3rd wheel to get a timeout this episode, but she went and created a cat as her extension... sigh.

Anyway, the main characters get to have a date!!!

And she's too adorable... ☺️

P.S. I'll probably want to read the manga after this anime.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Really good episode this week, we finally get to see Grandpa! Marie finally realizes his name is actually Kazuhiro, and repeats it, over and over. Last episode is coming next week, crossing fingers we see a S2 announcement, this one deserves it!

@Marinate1016 I'm pretty sure he stated his name was Kazuhiro in episode 1 and that he got it wrong in the other world. Imagine if they have countries with taxes in the other world or something and he's just gotta put Kazuhiho on every paper.

So we finally get confirmation that Kazuhiro does dissapear from his bed on Earth when travelling.

Then it just makes sense his grandparents figured something was going on.

When they didn't show all of grandmas pictures, I assumed she might even have been from there herself. (Even though not showing deceased people's faces completely is pretty common in anime.)

Still, I was waiting for him to say something in elvish or greet Wridra by name or something.

I guess Kazuhiro never had roommates or sleep overs or anything where someone noticed his body disappear??

Looks like the grandfather knows about the other world.
Maybe that's why Kazuhiro can go to it.

This was a amazing episode, Not really sure why but Marie had a certain glow about her this episode which I really liked. I thought her outfit was beautiful and I really enjoyed seeing them travel together.

I also thought Widra's little familiar was super cute. There were 2 interesting things this episode like how Kazuhiho's name is actually Kazuhiro, I thought the interaction between them was really cute when Marie found out. Kazu's grandpa knowing about the dream/Fantasy world was also very interesting I doubt it will be elaborated much on but interesting none the less.

It was nice to see Kazu's childhood home it matches his sleepy laid back nature perfectly.



Also side note: I swear im not overanalysing the train scene but usually in anime when a character feeds another character and they have their eyes shut they just open their mouth and take the food in perfect sync with the feeder. What I liked with the train scene is Marie never opened her mouth and ate until she felt the food against her mouth.

A very subtle detail but I thought that was really cool.

@Sheol01 Grandpa had to known Kazuhiro secret. I wonder how many times in the past grandpa and grandma went out searching for Kazuhiro because he ended up missing when he fell asleep. If Kazuhiro fell asleep in front of them when he was a kid and just disappeared. I would have loved to see their reaction when Kazuhiro was a kid.

Then again I wonder how they kept it a secret for so many years.

You won't see them married this season. They don't even consider themselves as a couple until much later further on.

Ugh, I’ve already admitted that I’m totally biased toward Wredra, so any episode without her feels like something is missing.

But I have to say, this episode was **really** enjoyable. I loved it a lot!
I love slice-of-life works.

I won't be surprised if one of his grandparents was originally from that adventure world.

The more I watch this anime, the more I love it. I wish Kazuhiro would hurry up and confess his feelings to Marie; they are both so smitten with each other that it’s almost painful to watch. Meeting Grandpa was a welcome addition to the story, and having a Neko-Wridra was the cherry on top. Let’s hope the plot progresses on both fronts soon. I can’t believe Grandpa knew about the dream world! I suppose that’s why he was so accurate in his assessment of Marie. Here’s hoping we get a confession soon, especially since Wridra is helping both of them open up about their true feelings. 🥰🤞🏻🥰

This is what the show is good at Marie and Kazuhiko Kazuhiro travelling and eating in Japan and occasional cute moments. Meeting your girlfriend to parents went well.

Intresting to see Marie can use magic through spirits here too. A familiar of arc dragon & Elf got scared by a cow and then mice.

Somehow they went to first name basis. Now it's HUGE progress in japanese standards.

And yes Grandpa knows Kazuhiho secret. Make sense cause he is vanishing each night in sleep. But perhaps he was also same in past. And how they didn't show grandma face more than likely she was from another world too.

Just 1 more episode of my favourite waifu Marie left. I am not ready to let her go😭😭

I was thinking that since they mentioned the grandpa, but I am almost sure that he used to travel to the other world as well. I think there were some mentions of some hero of sorts in this anime way back in one of the first few episodes, or maybe I gto confused with another anime.

I loved this epsiode again. The travel to the small home village of Kazuhi(ro)ho was cute and I really like when the two keep getting closer. Also the scene with "widras cat" and the cow was funny to watch. I think the grandpa of Kazuhi(ro)ho was also a good, relaxed and kind person like his grandson. It is also cute to see when Mari is practising her japanese (while already speaking it in the audio ;)). At the end the scene with the "luminous spirits" amazed me the most. I was not expecting that Mari could use her powers in this world, but it made sense in this moment. Also her learning and calling out Kazuhiros real name was really funny. Now I am upset to see whats coming in the final episode (hopefully some kind of confession or sweet moment). :)

Out from the labyrinth, and straight back to Japan with Wridra...in a cat familiar state.

Bento on the Shinkansen is always a treat, and is even more with Marie accompanying Kazuhiro to Aomori, though the latter's family traits aren't that well, living with only his grandfather that's separate from his parents.

The bittersweet journey back with the cow Hanako informing his grandfather that his grandson's back, it's back to the old home that he once lived in, though it's an adventure for both Marie and Wridra figuring out the attic and finding out the "mononoke" exist too. Apart from the home-cooked meals, Marie getting an Aomori gift from Kazuhiro's grandfather is nice, more than experiencing Japanese sake for the first time.

Marie getting Kazuhiro's name wrong form the get-go, and the name saying certainly got him all embarrassed. But above all, his grandfather approving of their not-yet relationship, it's just the sweetest thing to see.
