EPISODE REVIEWS
Episode 11 is the best episode of Black Summoner since Episode 7. It finally gives Efil something to do beyond being the team mom, it gives Rion a genuine victory, and it sets up a larger conflict with Trycen that feels like it actually matters. The elf village is a better setting than the generic towns from earlier episodes, and the writing is sharper than usual.The show is still a power fantasy with a protagonist who has no real personality. But episodes like this prove that it can be more than that when it bothers to give its supporting cast something meaningful to do.
Though it is second to the last episode, it still shows a good fight between Kelvin's party and opposing party. It's also surprising the Efil has someone look a like.
Rank S exam episode?? Yes please. This is the kind of set piece the whole season has been building toward and it delivers. Watching Kelvin operate at the level the exam demands is deeply satisfying. If you've been patient through the slower episodes this one pays you back with interest.
