Everyone should watch the OVA, it's really well done and helps contextualize Chise's mindset at the beginning of the show.

Clarste posted:This only changes the context slightly, but I thought it was clear that she wasn't being sold as a slave, but as a collector 's item. An exotic pet. No one was expecting to get actual work out of her, they just wanted to own a rare and valuable sleigh beggy. That's still pretty much a slave though? I mean does it really matter what she was intended to do if she was still in bondage?

Could people who have read the manga stop with the spoilers? Especially the ones without spoiler tags?

Mr. Fowl posted:I may have cried a little watching Episode 3. Yeah, especially the part where the old dragon tells Chise that the living should not envy the dead. Really good episode, but yeah, I just want Chise to be happy.

BTW Ruth is a meaningful name, it means compassion and is the root of the word "Ruthless".

Darth Walrus posted:I will say that I thought the direction wasn’t great this episode. The choreography was sloppy, and the tonal shifts were very oddly-placed. It kind of felt like they were copying a bunch of manga panels without looking at how they felt as a unified whole. Yeah, I had the same experience, the little chibi moments felt out of place considering how serious everything else was.

Genocyber posted:Some earlier posters hit the nail on the head I think by saying it's too faithful of an adaptation. The pacing/order of scenes and especially the shifts between detailed and chibi style are done just as they are in the manga, which doesn't work as well in an animated medium. Yeah, this. Even though I have not read the manga the little breaks into chibi style actually feel like panel breaks in a manga, just not in a good way.
