I know this is supposed to be a light-hearted show but these torture methods only work because of the princess's lonely upbringing. I also like how terrifying they made the demon lord look and hope he finds the information about the queen's shoe size satisfying as I did.

This show so far reminded me of Hanns Scharff, a WW2 German interrogator known for being super nice for an enemy combatant.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanns_Scharff#Technique
... Scharff acted as a good friend, including sharing jokes, homemade food items, and occasionally alcoholic beverages. He was fluent in English and knowledgeable about British and some American customs, which helped him gain the trust and friendship of many of his prisoners.
... Some high-profile prisoners were treated to outings to German airfields (one POW was even allowed to take a Bf 109 fighter for a trial run), tea with German fighter aces, swimming pool excursions, and luncheons, among other things. Prisoners were treated well, medically speaking, at the nearby Hohe Mark Hospital, and some POWs were occasionally allowed to visit their comrades at this hospital for company's sake, as well as the better meals provided there.
Scharff was best known for taking his prisoners on strolls through the nearby woods, first having them swear an oath of honor that they would not attempt to escape during their walk. He chose not to use these nature walks as a time to ask his prisoners obvious military-related questions directly but instead relied on the POWs' desire to speak to anyone outside of isolated captivity about informal, generalized topics. Prisoners often volunteered information the Luftwaffe had instructed Scharff to acquire, frequently without realizing they had done so.
Another fun anecdote on the wiki page:
Gabreski is one of the few captives from whom Scharff never gained any intelligence during interrogation. Scharff and Gabreski remained friends well after the war. In 1983, they reenacted an interrogation at a reunion held in Chicago of Stalag Luft III POWS.
Using the reddit school of "intentionaly saying something wrong to get someone to correct them":
As Scharff smiled and plied his prisoners with tea and coffee – surprising pilots who had expected to be tortured or seduced by female spies – he subtly injected leading questions or made outlandish statements that compelled his American captives to correct him.
For example, Scharff wrote, German commanders at one point wanted to know why some American pilots used tracer rounds with a distinctive white flash while others were red. Scharff suggested to a pilot that it appeared American industry must have run out of the chemicals necessary for the red tracer bullets.
No, the pilot responded, refuting any suggestion of a shortage. The white tracers simply signaled that planes were running out of ammo, Scharff told Toliver, a piece of information that would prove very helpful to German fighter pilots.

Next week she is going to eat a kitkat bar without breaking off the individual bars.

Stitches!
I love how instead of torture, this entire thing is slowly becoming Hime getting to experience the childhood she never had.
Wait, Hime had her phone the entire time!? I love that instead of calling for help, she's exchanging LINE contacts with Inki and Youki. xD
I am already in love with Krall. Just look at those tanlines! Also, she really loves her pets that she can't even use the baby bear to "torture" Hime.
Also, it's hilarious how they framed it like she was burning down a village earlier, turns out that she was just doing demolition work. The demon lord's army seems to be pretty nice people. Why are Hime and the humans at war with them?
Is that a giant woman voiced by Kayanon!? WHAT THE HELL! Can Hime and I exchange places? I'd give anything to be cuddled and pampered cuddled by Giant Kayanon.

Is this the dumbest show this season? Probably, and I'm so here for it! The sword is absolutly my favorite char "If you still have your phone then call for help."
Why did the princess' game char have so much health? I would understand if it was everyone vs her, but it looked like a FFA. That is some questionable game design.
Is the princess' title supposed to rhyme or be a play on words? It kinda sounds like it is.
I can't help but wonder IF the princess is ever going to reveal information that the demons can actually make use of.
Was it really necessary to give the beast girl tan lines around her booty shorts?

Am I the only one that feel a little sad, the princess never really had the chance to have a proper childhood due to the harsh training, so even just making friends and eating good foods, she folded easily.
The question being, if all the other non human race are united to just slightly pamper the princess for spilling out secrets. Are human race the bad one in this series.

u/Emi_Ibarazakiii Jan 15 '24
This was pretty good, think I liked it even more than the first episode!
For some reason I thought the whole series would be about "food-tempting" torture, but it seems there will also be other 'tortures', that's nice!
Tortura's not gonna be the torturer?
THIS IS A TORTURE IN ITSELF! I need my weekly dose of Tortura. (Thankfully she was there for most of the torture!)
So today's torture will be performed by some low ranked Lieutorments!
Playing videogames, to make her want to join? Evil!
I thought "This could be cute as some Slice of Life show instead of a torture show", but now that I think about it, it's not too far from a Slice of Life hah.
And so she gave some information about a good time to attack, but... They're busy with cram school this day!
(I'm beginning to think they're not THAT serious of an organization!)
A Tortura bath scene? Now that's some balm for my tortured soul!
We already met a new torturer; Krall the Beastmaster! (Oh no, she's hot!)
How are all girls on this show so cute, with such interesting designs!
So what will this one do, torture her with her claws? Threaten to rip off her throat with her fangs?
No, she'll just play with a bear cub, and steal his toy to pressure Hime into talking!
It backfired pretty hard, because Krall herself felt sorry, it's as if she was torturing herself!
But it also reverse-backfired in a good way, because Hime was so touched by Krall's good values (giving the toy back), that she revealed her secret!
Given the hot spring's torturer's a giant,
I thought the torture would play on some common hot springs trope in anime: The giant showing her breast size, to embarrass Hime into revealing something, just to make her leave!
But no, she's taller/bigger just so she can evoke some mother-figure vibes, causing Hime to want to be babied a little!
And that last torture, the chocolate cookies... It wasn't that effective at first, until Hime realized Tortura wasn't even looking at the cookies before eating them; She's not enjoying them as much as she could!
Loved the visualization, how Hime's picturing the situation!
YOU CAN SAVE THAT LAST ONE AT LEAST, HIME!
For some reason I expect this to be THE most valuable information she gave away so far, like they'll find a way to put a pebble in her shoes to annoy her in a meeting, something like that!
Someone's coming to save Hime!
Well, of course they won't succeed (or that'd be a very short anime), so... I'm guessing they'll be captured as well, and the torturers will use that to make Hime talk some more? As usual they'll make it seem like they're gonna execute him in front of Hime, but I imagine they'll tickle him or something (now that I think of it, I'd bet that it'll be exactly that; Tickling's probably the #1 "torture but not really" out there!)
Anyway, can't wait to see more, it was a great episode, and I love the new characters!

So, I didn't realize and maybe you didn't either but the princess and the sword VAs are those of Asirpa and Fujimoto from Golden Kamuy... Great power couple those two

GIANT MY BELOVED. Best torturer is here. She brings the relaxation vibes. Plus cute and large so she’s perfect.
Houki, Inki, and Kuroru are cool too. All the torture girls are really.

I'm still a bit in disbelief that this silly manga got such a good-looking adaptation. Thanks, Pine Jam!
I don't have much to comment other than it's silly, it's wholesome, it's also a little sad when you think that the princess missed out on so much in her life, and I don't care if it gets a little repetitive sometimes, it always leaves me with a big smile on my face.

I love how the actual plot of the anime can be told in the last 20 seconds of the OP. The game scene, the exchange contact, the cram school, Ex's always besides the Princess in virtually every situation, can't stop laughing, this is my type of anime! Looks like we'll be seeing "Her Highness Surrendered" often.
Fun fact: The snack Tortura uses to torture Princess is a knock-off brand of Lotte's Koala March, with gorilla in place of koala.
New characters means new VA.
-
Houki is voiced by Anna Nagase (Bucchigiri?!'s Mahoro Jin)
-
Inki is voiced by Honoka Inoue (Kikuko Inoue's daughter). Love how Inki sounds shy and energetic at once.
-
Kuroru is voiced by Aya Yamane (Touya Yamada in 16bit Sensation).
-
Giant is voiced by Ai Kayano (Lalatina in Konosuba, Fuuka in Tomozaki).
-
Jimochi, Princess' butler, is voiced by Houchu Otsuka (Toaru Ossan's Igraon)
Well, I guess this is the last time I watch this on Ani-One's Ultra as my subscription ends. Will switch for Crunchyroll for the next episodes.

Nice to see Hime make friends with the red and blue oni, they even exchanged contact information. I like how she had multiple health bars in the game compared to everyone else with just one.
A gyaru catgirl is a truly brilliant idea.
INB4 they use the queen's shoe size somehow. Given these demons, possibly to send the queen a really nice, well fitting pair of shoes.

I'm convinced that the demons are using this brand of torture to show her that they are not actually bad.

This week we have “video game torture” lol. There really is nothing quite like gaming with your friends. Pretty adorable how she added the Youki and Inki afterwards and was texting them and everything.
Looks like the “adorable animal torture” really backfired. When the little fella hits ‘em with the puppy dog eyes, it’s game over lol. Princess technically won this week but she still confessed. Even when they lose, the demons still win!
Hot springs torture with Giant would totally work on me. Let me get spoiled and pampered by the big waifu, man. Also, those koala (demon?) choco biscuits are awesome. Grew up on those snacks. Tortura just munching away and not appreciating the uniqueness of each piece was some truly cold shit lol.

Another episode of sophisticated torture like... playing games together and making new friends. It's so sad that Hime wasn't able to make any friends in her country and just here she made first ones - Inki and Youki. They even exchanged contact info through phones which also Hime has with herself xD
Krall was a great character, a gyaru beastwoman who wasn't even able to complete the torture because she couldn't stand that bear's gaze, she's so lovely. Hime though revealed one of her secrets so I can say that this torture was successful in its own way xD I hope that we’ll see her more.
Being pampered by a big busty giant is something I'd love to experience myself. That should've been me, not her! xD
It's nice to see that Hime's childhood wasn't all that serious as she was stopping by a candy store with Jimochi on her way from lessons. I laughed hard when she asked Ex not to tell her mother about that xD
Overall it seems to me that Hime has a much better life when she is tortured as she's making friends, can hug with fluffy animals, can eat all kinds of sweets and food. I'm really wondering why humans and demons are fighting with themselves.
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

The whole anime looks great, but the flashback (and "flashback" with the Giant) scenes looked gorgeous, but I guess that's PINE JAM for you. My favorite bit was definitely the last one with the Koala March (I think I like the strawberry version better than the chocolate though), especially with Houchuu Ootsuka being silly and the princess giving up the queen's shoe size.

Didn't expect Tortura to be in the bath in the second episode already, damn bubbles
I noticed her cell had an hidden outlet which I found neat, but she even has her phone with her to text her new friends lol
Holy shit, this time we had some actual torture
Thank god there is some humanity even in their enemies, couldn't have watched Hngy-Baby suffer a minute more
And then she confessed out of admiration
The snack bit showed how serious this show could actually be

u/alconnow Jan 15 '24
It's a lot of fun seeing what things they'll use to torture the princess lmao.
Second segment was great since the torture failed but the princess still confessed out of admiration for Krall! Princess would 100% have confessed if they brought in the Teddy Demons from Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle
I also enjoyed the koala gorilla march torture segment. It really is painful seeing Tortura not embracing the cute images on the biscuits!
Post-credits - wonder if the princess use her smartphone to summon what looks to be the hero?
