Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash Impressions, Updated: Mary the Annoying

I’m working my way to catching up on Grimgar, a show I watched the first episode of purely to give my impressions on and then basically forgot about while I watched other shows and dealt with a bunch of boring real life stuff. (The usual: crippling depression, debt, and a lack of direction in life. Y’know, #FirstWorldProblems?) I came back to it this week because the first episode was actually really good in terms of characterization, if not world-building, and now I’m all but caught up. So what are my thoughts, five episodes in?
