bizarre to me that the general consensus for S&W remake here so far is "mid" even among people who haven't watched the original, since i came off the first episode with a very positive impression. i'm very intrigued about the world and how the pair are going to navigate it and i thought the animation was really nice, plus it's prime time for non-isekai fantasy after the massive success of Frieren and Dungeon Meshi

also just saw it's two-cour, hell yeah

I thought the pacing felt a little rushed in a way that's hard to describe since it's not like there was a whole lot happening at any given moment. Just felt like they were trying to get through each scene as fast as possible without giving anything room to breathe? Even what should be a relaxed conversation felt urgent somehow.

i mean I felt like there was a ton of info getting laid out at once which, whatever, first episode, but i genuinely did not think the pacing was rushed in the way you described

ep 3 down, i'm still extremely on board with the vibe. i can understand why some people might find it boring but those people are NPCs so who cares. Holo showing her true saleswoman side was wonderful.

well we've got hella stakes now, and it's appreciated. holo's monologue about loneliness was appropriately despair-inducing. definitely detecting more animation stiffness but i can overlook it

yes, as someone who has never watched the original, their relationship is just pleasant to watch.
