[@peeweemaroske8619]

@@nashmungcal29 Just before they fight again. I can see Asterius being trained by Ottar again. Kind of a throw back to when he trained him. When he was just a normal Minotaur. I can see Bell Cranel being trained by the Unknown Level 7. Maybe with Ais Wallenstein again. In the Memoria Freese Grand Day Event. Asfi Al Andromeda called him the Knight of Knights. Finn Deimne said that he was the only one who keep Ottar in place. That he is probably at sea now. So it would be interesting to this Knight of Knights. Becoming Bell's main trainer for his final fight against Asterius. Because Bell would most likely be too powerfulul for Ais to train by herself. She can still help. But the main training would left to the Unknown Level 7.

[@Crescentfangs]

As it was animated by just 1 animator so I think it's understandable of the production. Cuz all animators in the studio gone with Railgun project instead of Danmachi. But as a LN reader I felt the same as brandon curiel that it could be more epic if the studio did a real work as one.

[@MCshadr217]

I'm actually loving the idea of this. I haven't read the LN, but this does make it feel like Bell has a chance to not only bring peace to humans, but to the monsters too, bringing all living beings together. He's not a hero if he's only fighting for one people, he's a hero when fighting for the right thing. All the other monsters in the dungeon want to reach the surface, they have feelings too, and seeing this fight with Asterius really showed that. They have a hatred for being locked away, can you blame them for wanting to fight? Asterius was different though, and showed that they can also change, can also have dreams.

[@VanishEclipse4867]

The part with Ais letting Wiene and Bell go was as you put it Wiene showing way more emotion than even a human ever could but I personally think Wiene severing her nails and wings more so cemented things. i heard there was another reason too and it's explained more in Sword of Oratoria. Just comes to show you can't read one without also reading the other because that sidequel series really fleshes out the Loki Familia quite a bit.

[@marcomilillo23]

Eh I've seen lots of characters with as much emotions if not more than Wiene

So it's like how prestige works? You get reset, but your growth is faster and exponential than ever before along with extra perks.

It’s definitely Top 100 novel wise. The anime really undersells their character growth especially Bells maturation. After reading one novel I’ve already noticed it.

[@prodanovyt5996]

Hmm maybe just maybe

[@mohamedab9033]

It's only you and the fool hero who sees her as a "little girl". The deep rooted hatred between monsters and people isn't even scratched upon in the anime. Monsters don't even kill it for sustenance. They just kill for bloodlust, that's it. If they needed to hunt humans to survive there might have been an argument to be made, but there isn't. Not for this 1000 year long bloody history. And you have Ais whom monsters are what caused her to become what she is and be in Loki Familia in the first place, her hatred for them is exceptional for what they did to her (in her backstory). Then, you have a heretic existence of sentient monsters who come and just like that an attempt is made to wipe off 1000 years of existential grudge out of nowhere? It's beyond ridiculous. You *have* to look at it from a regular human's point of view, things aren't black and white. What Wiene did was basically a rite of Passage to go through the single cruelest monster killer in all of Orario and possibly the world, Ais Wallenstein (confirmed by Ottar himself ). And she did, in a Brilliant crescendo of both streams of conflict that of humans and Xenos in what is masterful showcase of writing by the author. Read vol 10 of Sword Oratoria and get the full Ais (and Finn) POV on this whole incident. You'll eat your words.

[@imjustlikedenji5954]

Maybe it's cause i'm anime only but i feel like more than anything, the author proved he can write some genuinely amazing stories. I only wanted to watch something mediocre to pass time but boy was i in for a ride. Danmachi for me went from 5-6ish to solid 8. It was wonderfully paced and all the characters were somewhat well written and had believable motivations and reasons for why they acted like they did. I could resonate with them like they were actual people. And surprisingly Asterius had a really good impression on me. Basically a being that exists solely for the purpose of battle, i'm a sucker for stuff like that. Can't wait to see him and bell cross each other again. Might even buy the light novel if there's a translation. If they make a new season and give them 26 episodes to work with i'm sure it'll easily rise up in the charts.

[@HaxeRain]

i really suggest you to read the novel if you liked the anime, because, you will feel much better seeing all the author did at this parts, not the same inversely, because the main issue of the anime is the cut content, sure, there will always be parts cut in an adaptation, but if its too much it actually can affect it, specially since in danmachi case a lot of set up scenes and introductions were done dirty, like Nezha and Welf who were the highlights of volume 4 which was compressed in just 1 anime episode in season 1, or a lot of important progress and charcter development scenes of the rest of Hestia familia in vol 8 which where simply cut off and actually lead up to the xenos arc and the big night strategies they pull against loki familia

Yeah . Asterius literally beat his ass so much the gods saw the fact he survived as a great achievement .

[@ericgonzalez934]

Thanks dude, definitely will stay watching.

[@ricefarmer4gd721]

the anime needs to hire AniNews for the epic plot points

[@Restartkun]

Thanks for the cut content stuff these were great specially for Danmachi I appreciate this work of fiction much more thanks to these vids

[@poh7240]

I realy hope season 4 comes soon

[@Cj_Levy000]

I hope too

[@theboi8973]

next year

Will be waiting for more of your cut contents for Re: Zero and Mushoku Tensei! Love your explanations to give more context to us anime only fans.

[@Eadragonixius]

The epic sakuga scenes are hitting high budgets

[@Damian-ho1yb]

Love your analysis and the way you present the extra information man!

[@g.sergiusfidenas6650]

This series of videos make me wish the story had been adapted more faithfully, it would had elevated the anime quite a bit; just the part of last season involving Welf's family was interesting enough, alas it was not meant to be.

[@geraldreyes2714]

yep. should have been 24 episodes at least instead of just 12 in a season.

[@janissaire111]

Welf's family ? Like the Crozzo or Hephaïstos's familia ?

Thank you so much for the tremendous amount of work you've put into creating these videos, i'll definetly stick around, you really pushed this serie to the next level for me ♥

[@borutons3578]

Now AniNews you know damn well your content is too good for us to leave now. Lol this is quality stuff

[@adjcsee4476]

Really looking forward to season 4. Hopefully theres further development with the other characters. Maybe more into those spicy romances?

[@highcholesterol7586]

Bro that fight was perfect there’s nothing you can say that wasn’t already beautifully animated. That fight was amazing best season so far really made me remember why I like this series so much.

[@PaveMentman]

--- It's more a "show; don't tell"-situation: "Animations" primarily are meant to be a visual storytelling, whereas novels/writings are, well, writings of descriptions. Title of this video aside, both the novel and the animated adaptations certainly do supplement each other which generally should / could be the case in general ( aside of course teh situations where the source-adaptation-materials derivate too much from each other; I am looking at you super dilution-rushed non-"Chimera Ant"-arc "HunterXHunter 2011"...). ---

[@peeweemaroske8619]

I think this fight was absent brilliant. The emotions, the action, the music and the animation. Everything was done very well. It would have been cool to see Asterius make the lower members of the Loki Familia cry like little school girls. To see the arrows bounce off Asterius. Along with Finn's spear. Seeing that move from 15:32 to 15:43. Even without that. I still felt the tension. Especially when Ushiwakamaru was destroyed. Still pisses me off that they just completely ignored Ushiwakamarunishiki. The second weapon made from the Minotaur horn. Because we know that Ushiwakamarunishiki was the weapon that he used in the War Game. Because Hestia gave the Hestia Knife 🔪 to Soma as payment for Lili to join her Familia. That she would buy it back with the prize money 💰. That he lost Ushiwakamarunishiki in the battle against the Ikelos Familia in Knossos. Bell plans on retrieving it someday. So I hope that in DanMachi Season 4. When Bell gets his new weapon Hakugen. Made from a Unicorn 🦄 Horn. Ushiwakamarunishiki gets at least referenced or mentioned.

[@stoagymahalo5268]

I admit. I LOVE the fact the fight was only 12 hits with a FUCKING AMAZING and Shocking shot with the Hybrid style granting the understanding of the feeling, impact and hardcore introduction to the duel and I am still shook.

[@abrohamlincoln2232]

I wish they had longer seasons so they can go more in depth into things

another reason why bell could do so well against Astrious is because of one of his skills bull slayer or ox slayer i think.

Doesn’t he obtain that after he reaches level 4? From what I read that Ox Slayer was inspired after his fight with Asterius
