Beryl deserves a break. He's been busy since coming to the academy.

Glad to see Mewi in better spirits and opening up more to others. She's been an important character since been introduced. Even though this is a Summer break, Beryl still ended up being busy, just not on the battlefield.

Great seeing Beryl going back home to visit his family and have a break he deserves to relax. Mewi is slowly opening up to others which is really nice to see.

This week, Beryl gets to finally return home for a while, and this leads to a pretty chill and fun episode overall.
Besides some interesting explanations on Beryl's background, we got quite a few amusing and sweet interactions, in particular between Mewi and her new 'grandpa', but also between Mewi and Curuni.

I imagine Curuni will take center stage next week or the one after, as we already got episodes centered on Allucia and Surena (both season 1), and on Ficelle more recently.

Idk man...the vibe fell off hella hard from the first season. Sadly, it's a drop for me.
Don't believe the hype.

It’s really nice to have an adult anime protagonist who still has and is so close to his parents. Beryl’s relationship with his dad especially is so beautiful and it’s no wonder he’s so good with kids when that’s his old man.

You can really tell Beryl got his touch for kids from his dad because the way his dad instantly clocked Mewi being nervous, telling her she’s his granddaughter and telling her to call him grandpa is so cute. He claimed it was a joke, but it’s obvious he was trying to help settle her nerves and make her feel at home🥹 now I’m just waiting on her to start calling Beryl “dad” moments like this make this show stand out so much among all the fantasy seasonals.

I think his one issue is he has a little too much respect for his dad and that’s holding him back from becoming a better swordsman and surpassing him. Thing is, there’s absolutely nothing a father would love more than to be surpassed by their boy. I would be surprised if we leave this home trip without them sparring and Beryl winning

The food in this anime looks so delicious lol. Honestly the reason I started watching this is because of the thumbnail I saw showing the food in episode 1 s1. Anyways, I wanna see the old man in action since, according to beryl, he's stronger than him.

Beryl definitely deserves sometime off, he has been working hard non stop for a long time.
I like Beryl's parents, they are fun and good people.
Very funny moment when Mewi was trying to say grandpa.
Henblitz is a fine swordsman and got respect from the students.

I knew it! Beryl's dad was going to ask him about her future wife and... Well, Curuni took the stray.

Mewi is now part of the family. She's a granddaughter!

And now, the Edels are "dead". They learned a bit of a lesson there. Beryl was proud.

We got a bit of a Bunta Fujiwara moment there when Beryl said he never could beat his dad. The guy has skills, sure. But not enough to beat the original. Well, the captain wanted to try, but the old man had an old man back, so that's a no.

Yup Beryl. No one can beat Mom's food. But our stomachs can't handle the same amounts we ate before.

What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway).

And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea).

we are finally getting some of what was promised in the shows title. i dont really care all that much about the world building, the show is called country bumpkin to sword master and i want them to fill the promise of shonen they made ages ago. lets hope they do a proper follow through, i dont need another person to tell me how strong beryl would be if he tried, we have a season of that.
i hate slice of life with a burning passion, but healing anime may be worse.

@Aohh it's actually the best part. I really love that cozy atmosphere and relaxed tempo. It's just a show that's all good vibes and really great character development that catches how it feels to be a middle aged man really well. Saying it as a middle aged man myself ;)

It's been 4 episodes into season 2 so obviously gramps has to remind us of the REAL plot! Man, I feel like this episode really highlighted the difference between Beryl and his old man. I understand his insecurities a bit better now. Who cares about getting clout for your sword skills when you can't even beat your own aging father who still looks like he knows he can beat anyone that comes at him with ease.

That was a weird ending. It felt like the vice captain was suspicious of grandpa right there at the end for some reason. Unclear what it's trying to set up. Obviously it could just be that he thinks grandpa is faking his bad back, but the vice captain seemed pretty grim at the end.

He can't be Beryl's father; in anime, the golden rule is that the older you are, the more lethal you are.

While it was too bad that Allucia didn't join Beryl and company Curuni did and she ended up catching 'strays' from Beryl's father but I don't think she minded being a wife candidate lol. Anyways, this was an overall nice chill-type episode which I didn't mind although it looks like Beryl's father may end up fighting Henblitz and maybe even Beryl himself in the next episode, and I'm curious to see how strong Beryl's father is.

We all know how gramps work in anime. He may say he's too old and back hurts but next moment he'll teleport behind you and chop your head off with a single swing.

This is a weird anime. They keep hammering the fact dudes old and all the young women want him makes it feel like it appeals to the older audiences fantasy? Dunno feels like a dad anime.

@Vooo

I mean, in real world a lot of old men have young women around them for a reason.

Money and skills can do wonders for you till the day you croak.

I wonder if his father is really that strong, or if Beryl just lacks confidance when facing his father, and that's why he seens to lose every time against him. He passed the impression that if Beryl REALLY put his mind into a fight, he could take on his own dad. I wonder. And even Henblitz was surprised to see that yet another famous ex-adventurer was student in that academy, and how they are able to fend off monster on their own, in that village 🤣

After a lot of episodes in the city, it's a nice change of pace to go back to the village. Will be interesting to see how strong his dad really is. I assume they haven't fought for years and Beryl is much stronger now, but his dad avoids another fight.

  • Summer break and Beryl returns home with Mewi in tow... Or so we thought, Henblitz and Curuni ended up coming with. Mordea was funny as I expected asking Curuni if she was a wife candidate to Beryl and for Mewi to call him grandpa XDD. Cute reactions from both of them and it was nice to see him and his better half after so long
  • The dojo hasn't changed a bit and those kids were pretty rude but Henblitz used Beryls teachings to win with ease.
  • Mordea being stronger than Beryl is crazy, he hasn't beat his father a single time. I wouldn't blame him if that's where his under confidence/inferiority complex
  • That ending scene with Mordea and Henblitz was... interesting. What are they implying?

Back home for a quick festival type scenario that happens once a year, this time centered around a monster boar hunt!

The moment Curuni joined the group, I already knew that his old man is going to ask if this is his new wife lol! Mewi has a grampa now, adopted daughter route for Beryl confirmed!

Todays duel was between Henblitz and a pair of trainees from Beryl's dojo, a hot blooded sister and her shy brother! Henblitz wins, but we got to see more tactics for handling 2 opponents at once! What I really like about this show's handling of swordfights, is how they show the technical parts of different moves/stances and how to use them in practice! Its a different take on action scenes that you don't see at all in this type of fantasy settings... People expecting some ultra bombastic spell and sword fighting in this one, like in any other slop where the MC just says the spell out loud and/or says the skills sword before attacking, are watching it the wrong way; as this type of combat feels more grounded in reality and is easier to follow and doesn't feel like some bs pulled out of a video game... FYI, the best actual mmo, fantasy video game anime rn is Shangri-La Frontier, if you want to see some actual good bombastic action!!!

8/10, lets see that boar hunt and if grampa is going to show he's actual skill in that battel!

Im surprised Allucia didnt try to come along.

I wish she became a little more prominent in the story..

Right, his parents wanted him to get a wife to get grandchildren. But MC said "I never lose, including my virginity" so he just skipped that step and adopted one.

Thinking about this whole setting a little.. isnt having your own renowned Dojo the big dream as a martial arts teacher? They just stole that from him! And handed it off to someone else! teaching kids is totally different from teaching adults in the order.

Enjoyed this episode much more than the previous 3 for sure.
Love seeing Beryl interact with his dad, but Beryl better get married soon or else I think he'll force him too...not like Beryl doesn't have multiple options or anything.
But the highlight was seeing Henblitz sparring against the two new characters and using the skills Beryl taught him in the first episode about fighting multiple opponents.
