Can't believe this dumb retard is the true leader of the elves. I'm glad the MC still don't trust her since she seemed fine with him dying. Maybe she thought of a way to use him and decided to keep him around, then again I doubt someone dumb enough to get caught by random slavers would be this calculating. Maybe she was under mind control and she was supposed to kickstart a war between the races by getting caught? This episode just bring more questions than answers. Those elves need to be reminded why they are hiding in fear of the humans, they were pretty cocky in this episode.

New black butler seems interesting hopefully I have enough anime to hold me off until Kanna's movie
>Lupin movie on same date according to the interwebs unless it's a place holder
This does not seem like a good idea.

>Black Butler

Japs can’t into elves. I really just turn off any anime with elves. They have interesting concepts from their mythology but they’re fixated on the western fantasy template.
Muramasa did a similar elven race but with the usual Japanese autism where they’re blacksmiths who turn into mechs as they pour their soul into their creations, which made them 100x more unique and native to japan.

It annoys me that almost every work of fantasy is minor twists on Tolkien.

I agree that Japan basically turn most of the western mythology into waifu-pandering shit and tone down almost all the unique about it. At this point I would even say that japanese-western fantasy races are their own thing far removed from the original mythology. Kind of like the birth of new mythology but it's fueled by mediocrity for the most part.
Sadly good fantasy anime is pretty rare and to be honest I'd settle for anything unique. I will still watch the fantasy trash as long it can be comfy when I turn off my brain.

not only this, they're not even a race, but humans deformed with long ears that's it.

Good fantasy in general is rare. I've never been a massive fantasy nerd, though.
Always have preferred stuff like mechs and sci-fi didn't really like GL, just plain dumb and gay, or EVA, which just didn't have that great of a story. 
 I don't really like imaginary politics that just project the real world onto a fictional one and the author coming up with their own magic solution

I'm slightly behind the seasonal anime schedule. Now that I've been thinking about what to write here, I've notice there is a lot of those shoelaces anime this season and it has been a trend in anime in recent seasons. The 'unique' thing here is that it's on a national level rather than a simple adventurer party but as always to make such setting work you need some stupid or outrageously dense MC that is fine with being abused. Sadly this mean the best part is often missing which is of course bullying back those niggers who previously abused you with a smug look on the face.
The episode end with the country who sold the MC asking her back but it's such a retarded thing even by shitty anime standards. A party being carried by a single individual is very possible, but a nation full of retards wouldn't survive a month on their own. If I was the king or prince I would just simply state that there are no refunds and all sales are final while plotting to kidnap free the MC's sister and wait for that shithole to collapse on its own before extorting unfair treaties using my better economy.
I'll be off to watch another shoelace anime which I think is slightly better but I don't think it's hard to do better than Kanpekiseijo...

There it is, the episode where the retards figure out they can't even do basic stuff such as tying their own shoe laces and are begging for the MC to come back. His screams were pretty funny and at least the MC's harem bullied him properly. I enjoy this anime more than the previous one because it's full of 'based retards' and their comedic effect and unserious tone make it way more enjoyable than if it was an anime that take itself seriously. I think I like the trope where some races are genuine retards.
If I were to guess why these shoelaces stories are getting more and more anime adaptations, I'd say salarymen feel unloved in their black companies that refuse to see their true power so they self-insert in a retard who don't know they are overpowered and will be missed when gone out of the black company. That being said, take a retard to self-insert as a retard...
