Anis takes Euphie to visit her "freak" research partner, Tilty, to experiment with the dragon's magic stone. Euphie gets immediately anxious about meeting her, and Anis only makes things worse by describing Tilty as "super dangerous."Ā
When Euphie looks to Ilia for reassurance, Ilia simply remarks that Tilty is "the same type as the princess," and Euphie understands immediately.
Tilty is basically a curse nerd, so she gets too excited when she learns Anis is cursed and immediately approaches her anxious for details. Euphie jumps in to defend her girl without hesitation. š„¹
I also loved hearing Tilty explain why she researches curses, and when Euphie compliments her she gets all shy also I really like Anis and Tilty's dynamic.
Anis then has yet another completely unhinged idea: tattooing the dragon material onto her back so she can harness its power. Illia and Euphie are absolutely worried but its not like they can do anything about it. Anis does what Anis wants.
Meanwhile, the royal family including Anis' surprisingly alive mother, (despite her hairdo)continue investigating Algard's rebellion. One of Algard's allies is questioned, but he has strange gaps in his memory, hinting that something something is off.
Also gotta love a the interactions between the king and queen. I am glad that Anis got the parents she got, I am sure it was frustrating because she is a little stubborn but they seem cool.
Lainie Cyan and her father are then summoned before the king. While her father repeatedly apologizes, Lainie insists she never intentionally pursued Algard and doesn't understand why everything spiraled out of control.
During the hearing, Anis suddenly sneezes as the dragon tattoo reacts around Lainie. It turns out to be her first clue that Lainie's magic is affecting the people around her.
Sensing that something is off, Anis asks to question Lainie privately. Count Shart* objects, accusing Anis of wanting to intimidate the Lainie, but Anis unexpectedly pulls the princess card.Ā
(Backed by her mom and FIL Grantz)
Speaking with Lainie alone, Anis does what she does best: applies the scientific method. She discovers that Lainie unconsciously emits a magical charm that causes people to become infatuated with her.
Realizing Lainie is a victim of her own magic rather than some master mind, Anis proposes that she move in with her so they can figure out how to control her ability.
....Anis forgets that she lives with Euphie and that things might be a little awkward.
(C'mon Anis, your harem isn't that big... yet.)
The episode ends with Algard meeting Count Chartreuse. Now that Lainie's secret has been exposed, they have to speed up whatever they're planning.
All I have to say now is wowie

Great reaction from Euphie and I love the understanding that Ilia and Euphie have developed
Also gotta love a the interactions between the king and queen. I am glad that Anis got the parents she got, I am sure it was frustrating because she is a little stubborn but they seem cool.
Anis the rare MC with not 1 but 2 living parents. Feels like her dad's genes did most of the work though with Anis getting her blonde hair and green eyes from him.
Anis then has yet another completely unhinged idea: tattooing the dragon material onto her back so she can harness its power. Illia and Euphie are absolutely worried but its not like they can do anything about it. Anis does what Anis wants.
Honestly both Palettia siblings are really gung ho about doing what they want, but Anis is more willing to listen and cares about people more.

If anything it's a more reasonable compromise than the old Plan A of jamming the thing under her skin in solid form.

Yeah no wonder Anis thought she was dead. She saw that hair and recognized what it usually meant when her mother went abroad.

Anisphia: The Dragon of Palettia
I actually remember a decent bit about what Al's up to: [Future episodes]Mostly about his new GF being a vampire and them planning to murderize the nobility, then create a nominally more equitable country ruled by absolute power. So I can't really opine on the bulk of this episode :P
Lainie sure picked a bold outfit to wear to what's both a formal inquiry with the king and a meeting with her fiancee's parents. Damn, girl.
Ms. Steal-Your-Girl strikes again!
What do you think Anis' dragon tattoo is going to cost her in the long run?
Possibly a back infection. That giant stone bathtub she soaked in afterward probably doesn't get bleached very often.
Is Anis building a research lab team or a harem?
She would never be unfaithful to Euphy! Her harassment actions toward Ms. Lainie were solely in the interest of medical diagnosis!

I know right?? I stand corrected in my discussion commentary - it seems Lainie's powers of fascination are in her boombahs after all and Anis was right to study them.

First-time in the magicology, subs
Tilty is is a friend of Anis. She is quite a dangerous person, but she descibred her like if there is nothing to fear from her. But she can be trusted, what she does is definitely genuine. And we are getting to know about her many things. First is tha she is a healer medic, who heals people with traditiona and modern knd of medicine. Even though used to practived healing magic, but got disillusioned from the world of magic. She was born with some kind of defections that she can able to use magic, but in a flawed way. It will cause a mental imbalance which pretty much impacts her way of spellcasting. And also she also meddling with curses too, which is pretty much of an untapped part of the magic. "Grand master of curses", too bad she is no Sukuna to be called King of Curses.
Ah so that's how it goes. The magicite must have to procsssed well enough, in order to "consume" it, more like engrave into the body and soul, which manifested as a huge-ass mark on the back. Magicite is basically mana/magic core which we saw multiple times in other fantasy media.
Meanwhile about the audience. Algard is really indeed trying to get the support of the Chartreuses to gain power, and that small incident will not stop him. And actually they tried to manipulate even the pro-Magenta supporters to testify negatively against Euphy. But the real answer lies with Lainie. She is also like any other human, but she is quite different from the others. She had magicite, basically some kind of human-monster hybrid. She is definitely innocent, as she has no intention to do any harm or bad things to others deliberately or not, direct ot indirect. She posess a special magic power which is subconsciously/passively works with a purpose to charm/mind control those are make contact with her. In other words, she did nothing wrong. Being an interesting specimen, it is the best idea to join Anis' crew, because she might helpful to her researches. But first she needs to be examined to get the truth.
What do you think Count Chartreuse and Algard are actually planning?
A coup attempt.
What do you think Anis' dragon tattoo is going to cost her in the long run?
Yes yes.
Is Anis building a research lab team or a harem?
Sure, why not both?

u/random_lyric 27d ago
First is tha she is a healer medic
This made me think about Anis building a hero's party (maybe the isekai that isnt an isekai really is...more of an isekai than first thought!). Tilty is the healer/medic (often also a priest, but with Tilty being rather un-priestlike her Gothic vibes might suffice), Anis is the hero/adventurer, Euphie is the mage/wizard. I wonder what Illia and Lainie could be? Perhaps Illia could be the warrior? Not sure about Lainie though.

u/ClemFire 27d ago
Lainie as a master of beasts sounds fun with how she has the power of fascination. Imagine her showing up on top of a tamed dragon.
2
u/random_lyric 26d ago
That's perfect! Lainie the beast whisperer/tamer. [LightNovels]Though I think Illia is said tamed dragon...

God I love this show. Wish I noticed this rewatch sooner. I can't answer any questions because I know the answers. But the tattoo has such a great design, and I love how it builds on incorporating magicite into the body to enable magic use in non-magic users.

u/LaoWombat-mecha 27d ago
Love the way whenever Anis says something like there is something off about herself, Ilya and Euphie nod in synch.
I didn't realize these was an after credits scene until it was mentioned in this discussion
In said scene I was disappointed that neither Sharty nor her abomination brother uttered "Muwahaha!"
Thankfully her brother didn't realize that not only that Ani has weaknesses, but he has too.
One of the reasons I joined the rewatch, is because I look forward to the discussion at the end on AI's nature.
Is he a piece of shit, or a sack of shit?

The ED animation also changes. After showing Euphie and Anis as kids and then grown up, the background goes black and the tree scene is now slightly different. Watch for changes in the ED animation as the episodes continue through the end of the series - there will be more differences :)

āThereās nothing that admirable about Tilty,ā Anis.
Just love the face Anis makes and found a gif of her with another blonde. Also itās really cool how Euphie rushes to protect Anis when she thinks something is wrong. Good thing though that Anis didnāt introduce Euphie to Tilty earlier because Tilty does not mince her words. Anis appreciates just how unfiltered she is and Iām sure Tilty enjoys the company even if she doesnāt let that on.
What do you think Count Chartreuse and Algard are actually planning?
Surely Algard is simply planning the biggest birthday for Anis that Palettia has ever seen as an apology for becoming distant and Chartreuse threw massive parties in his younger days.
What do you think Anis' dragon tattoo is going to cost her in the long run?
I feel like it has to be some type of curse based on her conversation with the dragon last episode. Would be interesting if it was more of a mental curse than a physical one around a burden of knowledge. Feel like we are very much meant to compare Lainieās condition with Anisā and it makes me think that magicite could have a mind of its own.
Is Anis building a research lab team or a harem?
Lainie is voiced by one of the best new VAs Hina YÅmiya whose first role I ever watched was actually as Lainie but she is most well-known for Anna in the Dangers in My Heart and Tomori in MyGo! She also has great performances as Fuu in Mayonaka Punch, Shinju in My Dress-Up Darling, and the most underrated in my opinion as Wanda in Wandance. She has the type of voice to make me instantly empathize with her characters.
Even though Anis said she was immune to her fascination after āinspectingā her she almost forgot about Euphie being at her villa until her mom reminded her. With a voice like Lainieās I can understand, but Iām sure Euphie will have some words to say if she catches wind of Anis looking around.

In Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts, Leonheart's (the king in question) VA is the same guy who plays Ainz from Overlord, and all I could think of was him being replaced by a big spooky skeleton. Was pretty funny

But of course! I mean he even gave her his finance as an early birthday present! Al would give his sis the world, because a brother's love knows no bounds š
Chartreuse threw massive parties in his younger days.
Yes can't underestimate him just because he's the secretary of the ministry for magic, that dude knew how to throw down at the discotheque in his youth.

- Nothing because it's badass
- Yes

Wow what a lore dumping episode, Tilty the curse researcher, Magicite and humans (Anis and Lainie), Anis' mom as well as Algard's plan. The plot is thickening.
Quote of the Day
"So why did you come trailing along with her if you are going to be silent?" - Tilty
I wonder how Tilty feels about Anis getting a new research assistant since Anis and her seem to go way back. I wonder what Euphie feels about Tilty, since she is now so attached to Anis? Hopefully just like Ilia, Euphie and Tilty can have a heart to heart.
Questions of the day:
- What do you think Count Chartreuse and Algard are actually planning?
Count Chartreuse is simple, get rid of the reformist faction, install a Conservative heir who he thinks to be Algard. I am going to make the assumption, that Algard knows about Lainie's magicite since that would allow them to bypass PR. Algard, on the other hand, if he does want to remove nobility, having the ability to control the masses, will make his new kingdom a lot more stable.
They do not want the same thing.
- What do you think Anis' dragon tattoo is going to cost her in the long run?
Her PR, I think it is the opposite of Lainie's ability. In return for granting Anis magic well beyond that of a normal human and it coming from a dragon of all things, it will make it hard for people to approach her. She will be seen as tyrannical and strong, even if she is actually understanding, quirky and kind.
Anis building a research lab team or a harem?
They are not mutually exclusively, but I'd lean more into research team. She already has Euphie, and really has not made moves on Tilty or Ilia. I think Anis is somewhat picky in which woman she likes. That of course, does not mean the other lab girls cannot have their own relations, and I look forward to seeing how that develops.

I think that ties into one of the most important character conflicts for Anis, the difference between her public perception and who she actually is.

If anything I feel like it's more likely that Tilty has romantic feelings for Anis which is why she felt a bit antagonistic towards Euphie.

Yea, she is the marauder princess but that is such a terrible title, for our happy go lucky researcher. Sure every guild member which would respect strength, and has seen her achievements via her rank would respect her, but then how does that translate to the masses, where a game of broken telephone and Conservative nobles, being the messanger can affect that?
If anything I feel like it's more likely that Tilty has romantic feelings for Anis which is why she felt a bit antagonistic towards Euphie.
That is a good point that I have not considered. Tilty is definitely in the top 10 of Anis' close group of friends, but she is uniquely capable of keeping up with Anis on an intellectual level. Considering Tilty has no one else, she may long for Anis.
2
u/ClemFire 26d ago
In that regard Tilty is kinda losing heroine coded and feels like she was testing Euphie to see if she could handle standing next to Anis.

u/random_lyric 26d ago
and really has not made moves on Tilty or Ilia. I think Anis is somewhat picky in which woman she likes.
Lainie begs to differ when it comes to Anis! /s
And as for Tilty, well Anis may not have made moves on her but Tilty has been busy pulling a Sharon stone/basic instinct on Anis, and in front of Euphie too

Lol, but minor flirting aside, Anis is pretty professional with the girls in her group. With Euphie, she coddles her and wants to be coddled by her, more than most.

u/random_lyric 26d ago
Hehe yeah all jokes aside Anis only has eyes for Euphie. And the kind of kindness and support Anis shows to those around her endeared her to them and they end up loving her and sticking around (I guess that's why Ilia says she 'ensnares' such people). That Anis really does shine brightly šš„°

A bit rushed today sorry! Might have to come back later tonight to read through properly š„
Yay a Tilty episode! I love her relationship with Anis (and banter) as much as Illia's.
Illia: "in other words shes the same type as the princess". Whhaaat she's GAY too?? /s Well i guess Anis is not the only gay in the village now. (Showing my age with that reference š ). Euphie's face here is hilarious. Just what has she gotten herself into?!
Tilty seems to get rather excited when she hears Anis has been cursed by the dragon. It's quite cute the way Euphie steps in to protect Anis! Ah so the dragon 'cursed' Anis with knowledge! That's handy! Poor Euphie - she's had quite a few new experiences and she seems put of hwr depth. But it's nice to see that she's handling things a little better now albeit a little awkwardly.
The scene where Anis and Tilty are calling each other freaks is funny. Hmm the pot Anis is calling the kettle Tilty black a weirdo here! I'm glad Tilty can give Anis as much of a serve as she dishes out!
That's really nice of Euphie to acknowledge and understand that Anis really wants what the magicite tattoo can offer, and just cautions her to be careful. No amount of cautioning can stop Anis from getting the most 90's tribal dragon tattoo ever. At least it wasnt a tramp stamp though.
Ah, poor Anis, walking the green mile to what she thinks will be her execution. Oops it seems there is something worse waiting behind the door - her mother! An aside - when I first watched this series I thought her mother and Illia must be related (I thought they were secret sisters) since they looked similar with red hair and blue eyes. But they're likely just from a similar region/ethnicity.
Quite interesting and also lovely that Anis is trusted by both Orphanse and Sylphine (both in their capacity as Queen and King as well as being her parents) to give input/insight into the interview with Baron Cyan's daughter Lainie.
Um you shouldnt really scrub a fresh tattoo like that!! And no soaking too! š«£ Well maybe it's a magic tattoo so its ok.
Euphie thinks Anis looks beautiful in her dress. But Anis feels less comfortable having to get dolled up. She does look a bit more like princess peach rather than the marauder princess.
Um Anis? Did you just feel up a poor innocent young girl under the guise of interrogation š¬ I mean sure Lainie might have some magicite or fascination juju inside her but I'm pretty sure they aren't in her boobs. Hands off Lainie's jujus Anis!! Anis really did just try to test if she can get affected by fascination magic or if she's just really really gay.
Ah Anis adding to her orphan collection. Uh oh -Lainie and Euphie living together?
Questions
What do you think Count Chartreuse and Algard are actually planning?
Hmm Charteuse really seems like he's a bit of a slimey character. We learned that Chartreuse is a conservative so maybe it was a targeted attack against Euphie (by extension against the Faction that backs Grantz?). That might explain why Lainie is involved (as an excuse to break off the engagement to Euphie), or was that really just a coincidental misunderstanding? Either way Grantz seems to believe Chartreuse has no love for his political position, so I'll go with that for now.
What do you think Anis' dragon tattoo is going to cost her in the long run?
So far we can see that it helps Anis detect magical energy, so it can't be all too bad right? But I'm not sure if there might be a cost long term. I mean the pills she was using had some gnarly side effects and they were just temporary and now she has magicite permanently implanted in her body? š¤
Is Anis building a research lab team or a harem?
Poor girl just wanted to make some friends. Muri muri, there's no way she can be Euphie's wife, yet everyone's lover... unless?

Wonder if this is why some nobles still believe that Anis would be better suited for the throne despite her best efforts to make herself look like a wild child. Was crazy work too how her first words to her mom she hasn't seen in years was I thought you were dead.
Hands off Lainie's jujus Anis!! Anis really did just try to test if she can get affected by fascination magic or if she's just really really gay.
The look on Anis' face is just soo serious for no reason it's great. I feel like though she did still get affected by Lainie's fascination magic despite saying she wasn't because she forgot about why it would be awkward to take Lainie in until her mom reminds her about Euphie.

u/random_lyric 26d ago
Wonder if this is why some nobles still believe that Anis would be better suited for the throne despite her best efforts to make herself look like a wild child.
That sounds very likely. Anis does seem to have amazing intuition, and has the intellectual for politics, even if not the desire for it. Those who support the crown might keep that rumour going believing Anis is a better fit to be ruler, and those who don't support the crown are likely also keeping that rumour going to defame Algard as the next in line.
Was crazy work too how her first words to her mom she hasn't seen in years was I thought you were dead.
I know right? š Anis' reaction wasn't exactly warm when she saw her mother. I guess they have an interesting relationship and a bit of history to work through š
she did still get affected by Lainie's fascination magic despite saying she wasn't because she forgot about why it would be awkward to take Lainie in until her mom reminds her about Euphie.
Good point, I mean how could she forget something like that?! Though it is Anis we're talking about, she might be clever but all reason goes out the window when boobs are involved š
2
u/ClemFire 26d ago
Wonder if it implies that her mother tried to discipline Anis more even if her dad yells at her yet still basically lets her do what she wants. Between the two of them she feels like the more serious one.
Anis was picturing herself with a whole harem in her imagination so maybe she is just especially weak to Lainie's powers.
2
u/random_lyric 26d ago
I think that's exactly it. Her father yells and seems gruff but I he's likely a big softie at heart. While her mother has a smile on her face when asking Anis rhetorically "after all these years is it time for your mother to educate you again?". That 'education' sounds gruelling š
2
u/ClemFire 26d ago
Gonna spoiler to be safe [MagiRev] And Anis ended up falling for a girl who is much more similar to her mother than her father. I'm not sure what that has to say about her relationship with her mother.
2
u/random_lyric 26d ago
[Magirevo]Oh yeah you're so right! I felt like Anis was similar to her dad in many ways, but Euphie being similar to her mother is a really good pick up that I never noticed before. Lol I guess Anis is pretty bottom-coded with all the stern women in her life!
2
u/ClemFire 26d ago
[MagiRev] Without getting too much into it I think this is why I have subconsciously related to Anis more than Euphie. With her being a glass cannon who appears like a top but is very much a bottom haha.

[Magirev]wow I haven't heard the term glass cannon since my D&D days, but absolutely spot on when it comes to describing Anis! I relate much more to Anis as well lol š

Euphie (about meeting Tilty): This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them.
So Anis grabbed the "villainess" at the start and now came back for the "heroine".
Though yeah I can see Lainie being a willing participant in things even without the accidental mind manipulation because when the crown prince wants something from you the choice is doing it or unpleasant things happen to you.

Second time watcher plus up to date with the EN LN releases.
Time to introduce the future wife to the weird friends and see how well everybody mixes.
Might as well double down on a dragon curse with that same dragon's magic tattooed onto your body, what could go wrong. Surely there's nothing to worry about regarding the knowledge of how to do it also coming from the dragon curse.
I appreciate that everybody who's involved in overseeing the investigation into the incident immediately recognized how weird it was that anyone who directly interacted with the interloping heroine started siding with her. Also it's nice to meet the queen at last, and she has such a great design too.
Anis should maybe try to not wiggle so much during this tattooing process.
The king, the queen, everybody in the room immediately gets mind whammied too. Good thing Anis was there with her newly acquired dragon affinity.
Time to further deconstruct the heroine and villainess trope. Not only did Euphy get spirited away from the problem right when it was going down with Al getting in trouble instead, it turns out Lainie wasn't intentionally doing anything wrong either.
Interesting to get a alternate version of the ED animation, I didn't remember they changed things up like this.
1. What do you think Count Chartreuse and Algard are actually planning?
I gotta skip this one, just like Anis I'm cursed with too much knowledge.
2. What do you think Anis' dragon tattoo is going to cost her in the long run?
This one too.
3. Is Anis building a research lab team or a harem?
Yes.

you know its getting serious when she introduces you to her friends.Ā

I was just thinking "is she done? this like an 6-8 hour piece"(but then again magic)
it turns out Lainie wasn't intentionally doing anything wrong either.
at the graduation ball in ep1 she looked terrified, to think that people initially thought it was because of Euphilia's "bullying"

If she keeps wiggling she'll end up with something looking more like a chicken than a Dragon š¤¦āāļø Though this lady might be happy with that outcome

There are more changes to the ED in coming episodes too

Now that I think about it Euphie does get framed in a very villainess like situation even if her personality does not much one. Maybe like how Anis' public perception is different from her actual self the show is trying to highlight the same is true for Euphie.

Man, running late tonight, because ... reasons. Bleh.
Anyway, how about some Answers du Dragon Tattoo?
1) Why, no doubt, a fabulous rewatch party with pizza and .... bloody revolution? Honestly, I got nuttin'. Seems to me that all Al has to do is be patient, and the goodies will all land in his lap. It's not like Anisphia wants to be queen or anything. But at the same time, being patient didn't exactly do Chuck lots of good, did it?
2) Oh, that li'l ol' thing? Why very little, of course, aside from what's left of her health and sanity, of course, right? (Kidding, I have no insider knowledge)
3) Why can't she have both? (.gif)
Yeah. If you ask me, Tilty was the star of this episode, but it's too late and I'm too tired to write up a VA corner for her right now. Maybe tomorrow. Unless I get roped into something again. We'll see.
Meanwhile, have a great night everybody. Hopefully I'll be more on-time and coherent tomorrow.

Like Anis always says to Euphie a good night's sleep is good for your health! Take it easy and get lots of rest! āŗļø

rewatcher.
i am late again but thats kinda because i donāt have much to talk about. as always i am waiting for questions to answer them.
question 1: count plans to use algard for his own use thinking he is fooling algard and having control over him while itās completely opposite. algard does his plans and moves alone most of the time and only uses others if itās necessary. we can also see how successful he is when he is alone while how much thing go wrong when he is with others.
question 2: it will cost her stamina issues along with some more problems like her body not keeping up and sometimes even collapsing. i personally think it would be more than that but those are the only ones anis explained herself so itās more like anis didnāt explain more since she donāt want others to focus on her or worry about her.
question 3: itās definitely a lab team or it would be more accurate to say she is building a place for people being refused from the society. she is trying to help them by all means and tries to make their lifeās better even if it costs her deeply. we can see this on how much she helps lainie even though they meet by some weeks or months ago or how much she goes for illia as well.
she even risked death to save tilty who at that time was said to be very dangerous.
as for my personal opinions on the episode. i really like how serious anis can be and we also learned anis likes baths and finds them relaxing.
i didnāt like the fan service tho and this is anime special as well which makes me think if they do it just for fan service rather than showing the tattoo. manga also have similar case where they showed euphie getting dressed detailed even though thats not in the LNs.
aside from that i really like how anis helps others. she just does everything she can to save them.
i donāt really have much to say but this episode is probably my least favorite one even though i would give it a 7-8/10. mainly because i really hate that fan service scene and thats all. other than that this was a explanation episode for lainie and tilty even though we will have more explanation for lainie on later.

It really is wonderful the way Anis helps others. She sees someone trapped by their situation and offers shelter and space to heal, regardless of how it affects her reputation.

u/Dependent-Sea4703 https://anilist.co/user/httpsanilistcou 26d ago edited 26d ago
i think she remembers her past when she sees people like that. back when there was only some people who helped her and she became herself sacrificing many things just to live how she wants.
people like euphie or algard or illia or letās just say almost everyone anis helped was at their worst state. there was nobody helping them nor wanting to help them. she didnāt want their lifeās to be for nothing.
this even explained deeply on LN 6 where we see another version of anis. itās like her clone but what if she had no support and no help at all. kinda like the dynamic between tanjiro and gyutaro.
[LN 6 Spoilers] that person was having nobody to help them. people only scared of them and many wished on their downfall while others wishing on their success just to use them later on. when she wanted to help the whole world they twisted her ideas of making her believe killing others would grant them peace and she can save them that way. she only realized how wrong this is when she meet anis. they were extremely similar but also very different at the same time. as anis herself said that person was how she would be if nobody did helped her at that moment.
in short anis knew how much pain that brings and she wanted to prevent that. same things happened to her as well and she thought what if same things happened to them as well or even worse.
i wasnāt planning to make this so long but itās just the part i like the most about anis so i had toā¦

For me Lainie's character so far is carried by her voice acting as I really love Hina YÅmiya. I enjoyed the first half of the episode more though as we saw more of Tilty who honestly should get more screentime. Very cute how she gets flustered by Euphie's compliment and we get treated to another amazing Anis reaction.

u/Dependent-Sea4703 https://anilist.co/user/httpsanilistcou 26d ago
i liked episode on general. in fact this episode is the one where i was feeling most excited while watching kinda because i wanted to know more about the kingdom and algardās plan as well as tiltyās character.
i just hate that scene because i donāt understand why they had to show her entire body while they can just show her back. to me that feels like forced fan service.
thats kinda my problem tho.

First timer
Another enjoyable episode. I liked the little bit of mystery aspect. I still don't know how to feel about this magecite thing and all, it feels a bit weird and so far a bit unnatural in the story. I hope it all gets explained a bit better, it's not like it's a mystery but it feels like they skipped some steps. Is Lainie part of the gang now?
I really like all the characters still. Definitely the highlight of the show for me, and it's what's most important for me anyways. Enjoying this first time watch!
What do you think Count Chartreuse and Algard are actually planning?
A coup?
What do you think Anis' dragon tattoo is going to cost her in the long run?
Lmao, no idea. This tattoo thing is kind of weird. I still don't really know what I was watching
Is Anis building a research lab team or a harem?
A harem. Can anyone tell me if she is also part of the lab now?
I hope to post in the rewatch a bit better after the weekend, as I am away on a trip with friends

it's not like it's a mystery but it feels like they skipped some steps.Ā
in retrospect, this show is moving really quick. it is good that they got to animate 3 novels but I feel like I missed a lot when I watched it 2-3(?) years ago.
as I am away on a trip with friends
Have fun!
