English Dub Review: The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter “The Untainted Cleric”

Overview

As Lola visits Luna the cleric, it just so happens they’re best friends. Meanwhile, Noir visits Olivia and has to grovel after not visiting. In regards to Maria and her “Death Curse”, Olivia teaches him her skill, known as “Lucky Lecher”, which will generate LP through accidental perversion. Luna later meets with them and reveals she has met Maria already but had to refuse to help. With his Discerning Eye, Noir realizes that lifting curses shortens Luna’s own lifespan, and lifting a curse like Maria’s would kill her instantly, so he is surprised when she agrees to make an unthinkable decision…



Our Take

So we finally get to meet Luna who is a cleric that specializes in healing people through comical and unusual means. Unfortunately, she is not able to remove the curse due to the expense of sacrificing her own life, so Noir has to find another way to gain more LP. I think he made a big mistake by possibly reducing the effectiveness of his own “Lucky Lecher” skill because he could gather a lot of LP and it would’ve been over and with. This just feels kinda silly & contrived how they’re trying to find roundabout ways to avoid that…

We also get a bit of explanation about Luna’s reason why she couldn’t lift the curse. It’s funny seeing how Luna, despite being so kind, is equally well-endowed. Also, I don’t know if this was a design choice but it took me 4 episodes to realize that a good portion of the female cast of this show is pretty well-endowed which I think was the point to emphasize their stereotypical beauty.

Overall, this was a good episode. I am really liking this show, it’s so stupidly fun despite some of its plot contrivances. Luna seems like a friendly and trustworthy character. She seems like an airhead at times though. She also didn’t have any shame showing off her opinion toward Noir. As for the ending cliffhanger, I’m curious to see how compelling it progressively gets with a Coliseum event they’re all forcibly thrown into.
