Well this was certainly more exciting than I assumed it would be last week by name alone. That does not mean there was no talking. The phrase “based on a light novel” guarantees that there will be lots of talking. But for an episode named Night of Stratagems there are two minor skirmishes and one very large explosion. We focus a bit more on certain character than others in contrast to the last episode that had most of the gang in attendance one way or another. Still there was more than enough Saber present for me to be happy.
Lum is the type of show where you never know what the next episode will be about, it is a rather odd and varied assortment of short comedies running the gamut of success. But you always expect comedy, and maybe the occasional tender moment, so this episode comes off as particularly creepy. And even the few attempts at silly just cement how bizarre the tale is.
