I'm really hoping the anime gets to volume 3 as it's a better stopping point than vol 2 but also some of the best Anis/Euphie content

I love this gay poo poo--even if it seems like it's only an isekai because that's the fashion. Still gay, still good.

Anis's energy is wonderful, the relationship is great, and the politics are intriguing. This is one of the highlights of the season so far and I'm looking forward to more.

I didn't like episode 2 as much as episode 1, but I respect that episode 2 was them basically doing full character sketches of both main characters and two important supporting characters. They got across a LOT just in how Anis interacts with her father, what they talk about, the political maneuvering going on, and how extremely gay she is.

Anis is so gay. I did find it funny how she was like, I don't want to get with a man what if I end up pregnant and her dad just explodes. Also I predict a lot of fighting with autocorrect in the future when phone posting in this thread.

It's funny because aside from the fact that having potential heirs with claims is Important(tm) to him as King, Anis was really not helping her case with regards to her attempt to walk back her intentions and claim she had no ulterior motives.

Episode 3 was lower key, but I liked that about it. Getting insight into what makes Euphylia tick was nice and the bits with the swords/broom were fun.

Arc en ciel is a great name for a magical tool. Loved it Nanoha, love it here Show is doing a great job of showing just how lost Euphie is and doing it better than the light novel/manga

I loved how they basically had the "every kid with a bike talking to their parents" conversation with the broom. I gotta say though, people in this fantasy world must be more resilient than in the real world because they just shake off those broom crashes like they don't even hurt.

One thing I noticed is that Euphie's new rapier has a metal loop extending past the crossguards and over the blade, which is a detail I've seen on a bunch of other fictional and real-life rapiers. Any sword nerds know what its purpose is? Is it an extra handguard if you want to hold it by the ricasso?

I think it's just a skeletal cup hilt. They also tend to cover a bit of the blade.

A half sphere offers more protection than a cross guard.

Can't check the episode right now to compare, but from what you're describing it's probably some kind of finger ring https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSR-eAhKDVA

Unrelated, but when she suddenly shouted "Fireball!" like a completely generic fantasy spell, for some reason that took me out of the illusion of taking this setting seriously for bit. And then every other time she shouted a magic spell later.

Yep, definitely looks inspired by finger rings (but is of course rendered entirely useless by the amulet thing blocking the hand...)

The many additional bars on a swept hilt's function is additional protection for the hand and to look pretty. That's all they do.

Here's hoping Anis gives Euphie increasingly ridiculous gear each episode. Start a revolution with the power of a bullet loaded magic hammer. The king and prime minister continue to be good as well. Trying to dad properly despite the expectations of station and politics. For those that've read ahead, does the isekai stuff end up a big part of the plot or is it just tacked onto the story because that's what sells today

if next episode ends volume 1 we should be getting to volume 3 in the anime which does deal with some of the Isekai stuff (also has some other amazing scenes too)

Moreover, she's not just randomly inventing things willy-nilly, she is specifically recreating modern gadgets with magic; ie: everything on the shelf in her workshop is something we, the viewers, are familiar with but Euphie is not.

i think it's very funny that the prince is 100% in the right but is written to be a huge rear end in a top hat to make the plot work. hell yeah dude, arranged marriages suck rear end, and you very clearly like this cute girl that seems perfectly nice. better ruin your fiancee's life as part of an elaborate ruse

If you're dead-set against the arrangement, then it takes enormous preparation and diplomatic nous to untangle the whole mess without triggering a coup or civil war, and he's showing precisely the opposite of that. So yeah, even if he was just an idealistic kid in love, then this would still be a huge problem requiring all hands on deck to resolve. As is, it feels like an actively hostile power-play against the throne.

Yes the diplomatic thing to do would have been to continue into the loveless marriage track and just keep a mistress. It's what men since time immemorial have done when trapped into arranged marriages, and sometimes the wife even approves because it means he'll keep his hands off her.

To summarise, he's not just being a jerk - he's showing all the signs that he will be a bad king while showing no indication that he's willing to abdicate the power and responsibility of being a king.

So on the most basic, he IS supposed to be seen as heroic and romantic in that sort of context; it's the culmination of an offscreen cinderella romance between the commoner and the prince. But BECAUSE this is so overplayed (well, not really, it's more like "the butler did it" in terms of seeming cliche despite not actually happening that often in stories), it's trendier to parody it by shifting our sympathies to the villainess, which requires making very contrived reasons for the prince to publicly humiliate her. In fact, this reversal is so common that Anis immediately recognizes it ("this sort of thing really happens?"). And then the story goes on to parody THAT by immediately shifting focus again to the political ramifications. So it's like a double-layered parody of what at its core was a sincere appeal to true love over arranged marriages. Clarste fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Jan 21, 2023 |

Yeah, I don't even read/watch that much shoujo but I've picked up this much at least. The villainess reversal is very popular at the moment.

yeah, on reflection what i meant was 'this guy is one actual justification away from being in the right here, and i feel like i've seen the story where he had one', rather than the implied 'this story is bad because it makes a minor contrivance for there to be a conflict' e: in fact i think that hypothetical story is exactly the 'canon' version of Fortune Lover from My Next Life as a Villainess ungulateman fucked around with this message at 15:55 on Jan 21, 2023 |
