EP. REVIEW: Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?

as far as the show goes, she doesnt seem to have any kind of adiction to that berverage or reason to stay with that familia, so it raises the question "why is she allowing herself to go through that much bullshit?". is she fearing they go after her? that doesnt make sense because she IS NOT HELPLESS, we just saw her easily and succesfully setting up bel for death, so SHE HAD NO ISSUES WITH KILLING OTHERS, so then "why would she just not think of killing those guys that were actively abusing her before thinkinng of killing one inocent nice guy? (logic!) and why would she not try to do it a long while ago if they were really abusing her as badly as showed in the flashbacks?".

Physically she's not strong enough to fight back so she has to resort to trickery to deceive her targets. That's why she's always scamming adventurers (that and her general hate/distrust of them). That won't really work on any of the Soma Familia people when they already know her tactics. It's much hard to trick people when they know they're about to be tricked.

I have no idea in this world what it entails to leave a familia, but at the very least for Lili and the Soma Familia it isn't quite as simple as walking out the door after handing in your resignation. She comments that she's collecting money for a specific purpose in this episode, her freedom. I'm guessing she's forced to buy her way out so when she does leave they don't torment her until she comes back like what was shown in the intro to this episode with the old couple.

i mean, they showed enough reasons for her to hate aventurers, incuring in betrayel etc, but precisely because of how brutal they are they make her character look inconsistent. her traumas, resentmen and emotions don't match with her actions. it makes her character look too artificial

(logic!) and why would she not try to do it a long while ago if they were really abusing her as badly as showed in the flashbacks?

of course she is not strong enough to fight any of them head on in a sword fight, and tricking anyone that is not bel is expect to be difficult, but they didn't show us her trying to trick them or fight them even once, just trying to run that one time. they hit her, and hard, she was bledding and all, on multiple ocasions. howcome she has not tried to kill them even once before bel? i mean, if it really hurts, and if her life is really in danger, and if she really resents them.

I'm not sure I would give it a B but okay, I can live with that.

So when exactly does this male character with the sword I see that pop's up in the OP/ED actually appear? If this cour is only 12 episodes then their isn't much time left for him to make any sort of meaningful appearance.

The novel version is clearer on this point, and this is one of the few places where I think the adaptation trimmed too much:spoiler[ she has tried to leave multiple times in the past but has always been dragged back. That's why she is plotting to buy her way to freedom this time.]

Yoshitsugu Matsuoka does a terrific job of shrieking in a high-pitched voice for an extended period of time during this scene in what is one of the episode's funniest moments.

For the life of me I can't see any rationale for having the underside of one boob exposed, unless it's meant as an invitation to strike at a vulnerable looking vital point, which of course she's prepared to defend against. It just looks lopsided and silly to me.
