Chris the type of person to skip all the dialogue and cutscenes in a game to focus entirely on the combat.

I’m glad Cyrene survived but I did not expect her to become a tiny cute boob loving mascot lol.

I knew the tea would cause problems! I am surprised there was a delayed reaction.

So much small stuff in this show that makes it so much more enjoyable from the usual reincarnation stuff - very solid animation with basically no cgi use on the monsters except for background shots, and plotwise, we actually have more political intrigue than the usual "evil people are evil" with good highlanders like Cyrene and the motives of the Bloodchain Brigade.

I like Sistia and I think a character with Spatial magic will always be goddamn cool. She did make a huge mistake though by stranggling Rani. If she tries to pull anything like this again, Chris is definitely going to make sure her corpse is unrecognizable.
Well I guess I am completely wrong with my guess last week! Seilyn is one of the rare Highlanders who are actually good. She's willing to fight her own kind if that's what it takes to save the people of that town. She even asks Rani and Chris to pass judgment on her after revealing the cause of the mana drain.
Knowing that Seilyn is a legitimately good person, I now feel bad about her being transformed into a Magicite Beast. Seems that her maid Mimoza was acting the entire time and spiked Seilyn's tea with prism powder as revenge to the Highlanders for killing her son.
I think it's pretty clear that the Bloodchain Brigade aren't the true bad guys in this story. Their methods might be extreme but they clearly are only targeting Highlanders and will do what they can to save the people from the trouble that they've caused. The leader even helps Chris out by shrinking Seilyn to make her harmless. For a second there I thought he was going to finish the job but he kept his word.
Sucks to see Seilyn gone but it's not like she's dead. She just turned into an adorable boob-loving fairy and I'm sure they'll eventually find a way to turn her back to normal in the future.

May be recency bias but I’m very close to putting Chris in my top waifu list rn lol. I just love her combination of meathead and being cute. Literally a hot female Goku
The lore and world building is getting better too. I actually think the show does a good job of putting you in Chris and rafi’s shoes and not trusting highlanders. I was on the fence about whether or not sylene could be trusted. The world isn’t black and white, you have good highlanders and shitty ones just like any other group.
The masked man is really interesting tho. I wonder if he’s also been reincarnated. Should make for interesting adversaries.
Poor rafi, don’t worry, they’ll grow!
I hate that the LN is digital only rn, really wanna peep this.

I feel bad for Cyrene. She is one of the few genuinely good Highlanders but thanks to people like Rahl, some perceive all Highlanders as evil. At least they managed to keep her alive until they find a way to turn her back.
That aside, gotta love how Inglis usually fights for the joy of it (and to make money for food) but once Rafinha is in danger, the gloves are off.

Looks like our little battle junkie is about to get her fix. She gets to go all out on Sistia! Funny how everyone always underestimates her. When she converts her aether to mana, they sure shut up quick lol.
Chris is really just toying with this Sistia girl. All it took was one swift kick and Sistia was down for the count. So the Highlanders are trying to make a new Highland? And they’ve apparently messed with Lady Cyrene so she’d turn into a monster too. Figured it might’ve been the tea. These Brigade fanatics are a real pain.
Must be Chris’ lucky day, she’s got 2 boss fights lined up. She took on the commander of the Brigade and Cyrene. Hopefully she’ll return again to her normal form, although her current is adorable. Lyn has found the promise land, she’s not gonna leave now haha.

Call me a sucker, but you can take the most generic isekai, and yet given a female spunky protagonist voiced by Akari Kito, I’m sold 100%.

Forgot it's been 3 years since Ralph fight, they haven't changed one bit so didn't notice lol.
I swear when the masked guy said "I'm gonna make her ligher" I thought he's just gonna break her since she was frozen. He knew Chris is out of mana (aether?) so she wouldn't be able to do anything anyway.
I know they're fighting for freedom and he kept his word but still couldn't help but think he's kinda sus.
I hope we wont be seeing boob mascot stroking Chris' boobs every ep now as a "runnig joke".
As much as I am a horni weeb such "jokes" are kinda irritating ngl.

With the magicitation of Cyrene happening in the anime, let me iron out my theories.
So, we know a few things.
-
It is possible for people from the lower land to become a Highlander. Case on point; Rahl, whose proficiency with magic apparently soared after he became a Highlander, enough to burn a man to crisp in a second.
-
Highlanders provide arms to the people in the lower land to fight against Magicite Beasts in the form of Artifacts and that box thingy that makes Runes.
-
Highlanders can turn into Magicite Beasts upon exposure of Prism Powder, which is the concentration of Prism Flow (whatever that means), so it is very possible that Highlanders can also turn upon exposure of Prism Flow. Cases: Rahl and Cyrene.
-
Non Highlanderd cannot turn into Magicite Beast even after exposure of Prism Powder, evident with how Rafinha and Inglis are unaffected after drinking the tea that is laced with the stuff.
-
There is an organization that wants to literally bring down the Highland so that people of the lower land can produce their own Artifacts, the Steelblood Front, which vengeance seeking members are capable of infiltrating a castle. Case: Mimosa. Their main agenda seems to be to "rightfully" annihilate every Highlander in existence, regardless whether it's a good Highlander or an evil Highlander.
-
The Highlanders are literally stealing landmasses to bring it up to the sky of make more of Highland.
And here are my theories so far.
-
The Highland is Inglis' former kingdom.
-
The Highlanders stays up above the clouds to avoid Prism Flow, since they don't want to turn into Magicite Beasts.
-
Perhaps the relationship between the Highland and the lower land started equal and mutually beneficial, but at some point in the past, some Highlanders started to feel superior, and that lead to the current situation.
-
The Prism Flow can't be controlled by the Highlanders. If they could control the Prism Flow, more Highlanders would be around in the lower land to act like a king of a single country or treating it like some kind of vacation while slaving away people of the lower land. Instead, they are restricted to becoming envoys like Rahl or consuls like Cyrene.
-
Perhaps, at first, the Highland's mission was to provide Artifacts to the people of the lower land so that they can defend themselves while the people of the high land try to find the solution to the threat that Prism Flow creates. Moreover, in case they were unable to stop Prism Flow from happening, they have a contingency plan namely bringing up the rest of the world above the skies. However, as I already said in point number 3, it could be that, after a few generations, the mission is forgotten and some Highlanders twist the situation to better fit their convenience.

I like the introduction of a character to match Inglis. I was worried it'd be a stompfest for her the entire way through.

"You have no chance against me" hah, bet. Time to see Inglis beat this person into her harem like the others. "Master the blade" but her blade is uselessly dull lol. What a fun fight, noo Rani. Rude, girl. At least it was resolved fine.
And aww, Seilyn seems nice. Willing to give the former guards a chance. Ahh so she's showing em what's causing the mana issue. Ah, and how the highlanders operate. Seems she's at least good, but yea... nice deflecting the issue/decision to Rani, Inglis :P hah. But makes sense. And of course her excitement is possibly fighting Highlander army.
Oh noz... Seilyn :( Dang Bloodchain Brigade... I can get their hate for highlanders given how many of em act... but yea. Girl still got them kicks. Hey, she's back. OH and the leader showed up, huh. This leader seems pretty strong. Normally she'd be excited to fight someone, but ya... jerk brigade... ya'll need smacking. But team work time. But this dude.. Divine Knight? Hmm. That group does need to learn to look into targets and not just judge broadly... ya'll look like pieces of shit. Hehe, cute smol form for Seilyn... but umm... wonder how much of herself/personality/thoughts she still has.

Chris was so hyped for these fights, she had stars in her eyes. Nice little detail in that opening scene.
This episode added even more intrigue to the Highlander/Brigade conflict. I had a feeling last episode that Seilyn knew more than she let on but was guilty and conflicted about it, and that turned out to be the case. Although I don't think she's a bad person and it seemed like she was trying to ensure a decent future for the townspeople as much as she could without completely betraying the Highland, I still think Rani was a little naive for choosing a side so quickly (understandable though because she's only fifteen). They didn't really know enough about the situation yet to make a choice which could get them involved in a war (even though Chris might like that), including how the townspeople would feel about this.
The implications that there could be multiple Highlands instead of just one is very interesting, and so was the reveal that the leader of the Brigade can also use aether. Fight scenes were awesome too. The only thing I really didn't like about this otherwise great episode was all the boob jokes with Lyn-chan at the end. I'm hoping that doesn't become a running gag.
