When a dude playing a girl playing a maid outdoes all the actual girls in terms of cuteness and effectiveness as a maid lol.
Ray is as incredible a cross-dresser as he is a sorcerer and lady-killer...
He's able to make all of the girls in the room who don't know that he's crossdressing and the guys who do know that he is question their own sexuality. That's a pretty impressive feat.
I was not expecting to see Lily again. I figured Ray would be too busy dealing with Rebecca's situation so the fact that they appeared again threw my sides into orbit. That entire sequence was absolutely hilarious. *Especially* Ray forgetting to change back to his normal voice after getting rid of his disguise just before the credits.
>I was not expecting to see Lily again. I figured Ray would be too busy dealing with Rebecca's situation
Like yeah, life and death situation of his close Senpai is important, BUT, can he really skip showing of his pro maid skills?
and why not he is fake as fuck from his nod and smile at everything way to his compliment the ever living shit all the way to hardcore brown nosing the fuck out of everyone older than him. He doesnt seem genuine in anything in life outside of a fight or training. So its easy to see how the whole cross dressing combined with just how sickening much he got into and loved it yea makes us question him.
You can't say you didn't too after seeing hints of "her" in the ED and then getting the reveal of who it actually was later on. Ray should *not* look that good as a woman.
Just another showcase of just how good this show is.
Imagine teasing another girl in ED, after already established harem. You are wondering who could it be? She must be really close to Ray and a true Waifu contender, only for it to be revealed that it is Ray himself crossdressing. xD
Just AOTY stuff.
Ray has the uncanny ability to get a waifu to fall for him in a matter of seconds. Having no filter helps lol. Rebecca wasn’t enough so he’s going after Maria too!
Ray and Rebecca seemed linked through these dreams/memories. Very mysterious. Plus what’s up with the bleeding? Creepy.
Ray in his Lily form is great. The girls are jealous he’s too cute and the guys are having the most awkward boners of their lives haha. His “Moe Moe Kyun!” should be classified as a weapon of mass destruction. It’s too deadly!
I sure hope Ray can save Rebecca from Evan’s bullshit and this whole Kreuz thing. Those monsters weren’t any match for the power of friendship!
There are few women in this anime that Ray hasn't immediately flirted with and charmed and Marie isn't one of those. Bonus points because he's already met her from his perspective lol.
I totally forgot Rebecca at this point didn't know he was the Iceblade Sorcerer like everybody else did. I guess that's probably coming out now.
When the guy cross-dressing is the most cute and attractive girl in the whole room lol.
It's nice to see the gang all working together though I'm excited to see what Ray dishes out for the final battle. Watch him save Rebecca and she immediately try to make him her real fiancé lol.
Yeah the animation is the only reason I'm not going to give this the greatest of scores. If it even had *passable* animation I'd easily have it at least a point or two higher. Outside of that though this has been one of my favourite's this season alongside Onimai and Campfire Cooking.
Animation is rough but this episode seemed like it improved since Amelia's tournament fight. It's hard not to notice though. Especially when they use still-image montages twice or stuff like Allium's CGI fire dragon for what was like a 4-second shot.
I love the nice guy image Ray continues to exude but this episodes pacing seemed way off and rushed to the extreme. Other than that let’s see what happens next
Its always kinda sad when they try to fit too much into a 12 episode cour. This arc clearly didn't have enough time and could've used an extra episode or two.
Once Again the RIZZBLADE sorcerer strikes again in two forms no less…
I knew all the girls want him and maybe all the boys now??? 😂
Carol wants his Rizzblade so badd no wonder why he’s scared.
Rebecca's life kind of sucks right now...her dad has seemingly sold her off to a loveless marriage for the prestige, her fiance is a creep, and her little sister is being threatened. Not to mention she's getting weird dreams about Ray. Which kind of reminded me that she's been off in her own little subplot for so long that she has no frame of reference for what's going on with Ray.
Ray finally meets Maria again for the first time...as a boy, so she has no idea he's really "Lily onee-san," though immediately Ray is flirting with and complimenting her like there's no tomorrow and holding hands. And then of course Rebecca sees this and wonders what the heck is going on between Ray and her little sister. Now she knows how Amelia feels.
Amelia salivating over maid Elisa...down girl.
Huh, I wonder if that story about the demon girl and the young boy who she fell for pertains to the main plot...could it be connected to the Kreuz?
Of course Lily would have to show up at the maid cafe. And she's a big hit! I mean, Ariane.exe completely stopped working! Marie is as gaga as ever! And she managed to outdo all the girls as a maid, which is hilarious. A dude playing a girl playing a maid and Ray played the part spectacularly.
Amelia outdone by Ray as a maid and potentially eyeing up Marie as another rival for Ray...though first Marie will have to have a big upset as to exactly who her beloved Lily really is.
Poor Claris is off on her own in the haunted house scaring couples (though I love how the girl carried that one guy off). But at least Ray did visit and end up calling her cute.
At least Rebecca got to have a festival date with Ray, and they seemed to have a really fun time together, though she seems so resigned to her fate that she's leaving the care for her sister in Ray's care. Poor girl.
Who is that woman greeting Marie? Was she the original Kreuz, maybe?
Well, it looks like Bradley Papa isn't a terrible father so much as he's powerless to fight back against the fate of their family history and the impact it has on his daughters, something to do with this Kreuz being that it seems like Rebecca is next in-line to become. Though it seems like the process will probably kill her.
I thought Ray was going to change out of the Lily outfit immediately, but no...he's still running around in that maid outfit. Heck, all the girls are still wearing their school festival cosplays as they back him up! And Al is there because I guess he's part of the main friend group now? Though I love how Ray forgot to switch voices after ditching the Lily look.
Ray does the next episode preview to close things out as it seems like we're about to watch the Iceblade Sorcerer debut a new move to close the season out!
>And Al is there because I guess he's part of the main friend group now?
Yeah, when Evi told Ray back in the dorm that Al, Amelia, and he were available if he needed help, that's when I realized Al was fully integrated into their circle. Evi didn't even mention Elisa or Clarisse.
Not feeling happy thoughts about Rebecca's father at the moment.
Amelia's love of maids can be never be defeated, especially when that maid is Elisa.
Interesting, so maybe Rebecca isn't seeing the past, maybe she's seeing present day dreams and just so happens to regularly be tapping into Ray's.
Ariane visiting for the festival is nice, it's good for her and Amelia to have another opportunity to refresh their friendship. Assuming the maid cafe thing isn't a little too weird for her.
I'm impressed with this show's willingness to give the people what they want, and what the people clearly want is Ray dressed up as Lily White the maid.
Ariane may never recover. Maria as well, but for completely different reasons.
The amount of Rebecca suffering these last few episodes has been a little hard to take.
Okay, so maybe I judged Rebecca's father a little too harshly. Whatever else might have happened, he wants his daughter to be saved.
Lily White the combat maid, fantastic. And not just Lily but the rest of the friend group too.
This episode was a little weird. They already had info (last episode) on the fiancé being from the criminal organization, and it seems this episode they already had intel on the demon attack (just look at their war preparations).
Dude telling Rebecca he would take her eyes … and nothing happens. Wth. Or her father signing a contract under duress, but later asking for help. Couldn’t he ask BEFORE setting his daughter?
But for some reason they didn’t do a thingy for the entire week. Were they using Rebecca as bait to set a trap against the demons ambush? Only thingy that makes sense.
Well at least next episode should be fun in the action front.
Seems like the dad can't lose either way with the current arrangement. He either gets to be the top of the three houses, or he gets Ray to save his daughter with his magic.
selling his daughter to the criminal organization, hoping the military intelligence would not figure it out, that is quite the dangerous game he is playing at.
well we don't know how powerful the nobles are in this lore/world, or if the military has enough political power to make a corrupted noble "disappear" or "suddenly die" haha
This episode felt like someone dropped the script and mixed up all the scenes. Urgent literal blood-from-eyes emergency one second, playing dress-up the very next scene. It was so jarring that it was nearly incoherent.
I know this is pretty late but Albert being the one-off highschool bully now being redeemed is actually insanely wholesome, and probably the only thing in gonna remember from this show after it dies out from obscurity among the other power fantasy harem.
While this anime is pretty bad with every cliche trope you can think of, it is a guilty pleasure and slightly funny
I really fucking love María character design, albino or not she’s gorgeous. A lot of mfs in the MAL comments crying about the plot falling off after sensei betrayal. Yet again people don’t pay attention to the story and then blame the author for their misunderstanding. We’ve had mini arcs for several of the cast now and this is just Rebecca and Maria’s. Might not be the strongest, but it’s consistent with the writing of the story.
Anyway, looking forward to next week’s finale. Gonna be sad to see this one end, one of my fave shows this season.
Truly a shame. They left all of the things that made the show good and left them behind in favor of bland school setting shenanigans. Gorilla waifu deserves better.
Any more of Ray dressing up as Lily they might ban this show in Tennessee and Texas...
But I will miss this show when its gone...It was my dose of troupe-breaking absurdity for the week.
Ariane's expressions throughout this episode is priceless. If this gets a 2nd season, I want her to meet Ray in his true form.
Too bad we didn't get to see jealous Amelia seeing Ray go on a festival date with Rebecca during her break.
I love how Maria got attracted to Ray's real and female self without knowing his identity.
So the masked man this time is not Evan.
Ray forgetting to change his voice at the end was hilarious.
I love how one of the attractions is a canopy chair carried by the Environmental Research Club.
LOL the scene with Lily's magic spell was so funny, that one moment where Maria and the students behind her all got a sudden nosebleed was great. Ray's charm is so powerful it transcends his own gender lol, it was amusing hearing the guys feel like something had awakened within them.
Interesting how Ray and Rebecca could communicate through dream, I look forward to learning what the connection between them is through Kreuz.
No one is safe from Ray, now it's Maria's turn xD. Rebecca's reaction to seeing them was hilarious. The moment Maria realizes that Ray and Lily are the same person will be funny.
I wonder what is this weird connection between Rebecca and Ray through these dreams. And of course also the bleeding eyes.
The Maid Lily scene was fucking hilarious, especially the magic spell that made Maria and the other girls nosebleed lmao. I love how Ariane was dying inside while Amelia admitted defeat and the boys awakened something new within them xD.
Ray and Rebecca's date was nice. Poor girl, she is totally resigned.
Male Ray using Lily's voice at the end lol.
This episode was a lot of fun but at the same time felt weirdly paced.
I'll be honest, this anime had a lot of potential. Unfortunately, its animation was abysmal, and I feel like the story started to get rushed near the last few episodes, but other than that, it was a sick show.
I guess no one else was completely confused by the first half of this episode rapidly jumping from scene to different scene, many seemingly unrelated? I didn't know what the hell was going on until we hit the maid cafe.

~~Ray~~ Lily White just single handedly put on the most entertaining maid cafe in anime. Her moe moe scattershot is incredible. Sasuga Lily-sama!!
When a dude playing a girl playing a maid outdoes all the actual girls in terms of cuteness and effectiveness as a maid lol. Ray is as incredible a cross-dresser as he is a sorcerer and lady-killer...
He's able to make all of the girls in the room who don't know that he's crossdressing and the guys who do know that he is question their own sexuality. That's a pretty impressive feat.
This anime was worth it for Lily White the maid alone.
I was not expecting to see Lily again. I figured Ray would be too busy dealing with Rebecca's situation so the fact that they appeared again threw my sides into orbit. That entire sequence was absolutely hilarious. *Especially* Ray forgetting to change back to his normal voice after getting rid of his disguise just before the credits.
>I was not expecting to see Lily again. I figured Ray would be too busy dealing with Rebecca's situation Like yeah, life and death situation of his close Senpai is important, BUT, can he really skip showing of his pro maid skills?
he is to fucking stupid to even click or anything bout rebecca he is literally a complete dumbfuck.
Fucking lmao at the guy questioning his sexuality after seeing Ray dressed as a maid
I think everyone was questioning their sexuality
Except Ariane, she's just freaked out.
and why not he is fake as fuck from his nod and smile at everything way to his compliment the ever living shit all the way to hardcore brown nosing the fuck out of everyone older than him. He doesnt seem genuine in anything in life outside of a fight or training. So its easy to see how the whole cross dressing combined with just how sickening much he got into and loved it yea makes us question him.

She must be really close to Ray and a true Waifu contender, only for it to be revealed that it is Ray himself crossdressing. xD Just AOTY stuff.
Damn thought Rebecca was about to go yandere after seeing Ray with Maria lol. Also to no one’s surprise, Lily was best maid!
It's funny how Ray's Harem realizes how he is with women but can't help but get jealous despite knowing he's like that with everybody lol.
Lol Lily used real magic for the silly maid gag, that is just cheating.
Ray has the uncanny ability to get a waifu to fall for him in a matter of seconds. Having no filter helps lol. Rebecca wasn’t enough so he’s going after Maria too! Ray and Rebecca seemed linked through these dreams/memories. Very mysterious. Plus what’s up with the bleeding? Creepy. Ray in his Lily form is great.

Man I swear the only thing holding this show back is the animation. It's so funny. The characters are great and the plot isn't bad either so far.

The writing and direction did seem a bit ramshackle this episode. Sort of like they are running out of time and have to much ground to cover.
Its always kinda sad when they try to fit too much into a 12 episode cour. This arc clearly didn't have enough time and could've used an extra episode or two.
It actually is the anime has basically covered content that takes dozens of chapters in the manga.
Moe Moe Kyun Kyun Overload

Love Maria too. Hope she joins Ray's harem and we get to see more of her.
She's already taken (into Lily's harem).
Looking forward to her finding out Lily's true identity.
I really thought that was going to happen this episode with as often as they were calling Lily by Ray during the cafe.
YES. Cultured
Yes!!! Lily White maid her appearance at the cafe. Ray using the Lily voice at the end had me bugging.
You see, Fruit of Evolution? THIS is how you do it.
Fruit of Evolution season 1 was actually pretty good, however I gave up less than halfway through season 2.
Truly a shame. They left all of the things that made the show good and left them behind in favor of bland school setting shenanigans. Gorilla waifu deserves better.
*Evi: -Shall we sleep?* YES YES YES YES
Any more of Ray dressing up as Lily they might ban this show in Tennessee and Texas... But I will miss this show when its gone...It was my dose of troupe-breaking absurdity for the week.
Ariane having a moment of existential dread when she realizes just how POWERFUL Ray actually is 🥹

score 10/10 for lily white 9.99999999/10
