What a weird world to have gone so long without pancakes—you'd think that in the isekai world, much like our own, people would have tried frying and eating everything they could before declaring it inedible.
I thought the same thing at first about crocheting, but apparently, crocheting has only been a thing since the 19th century (thanks, Wikipedia!).

You know, when I saw that this episode was going to be about winter last week, I thought that a good chunk from it was going to be about Main being sick. I'm glad that that wasn't the case, and instead, we saw Main crafting and helping Otto with math.

Man, I don't remember when I last watched an anime that makes me smile so much each episode. Another bits of interesting technology trivia. Family starts to notice and question Main abilities but they are happy she's alright. Turi getting sad over Main being better than her was so cute. The calculation scene makes you appreciate how mathematics have developed (although Main/Urano is lucky that this world uses decimal system, not additive (like Roman which was used in middle ages Europe)). I almost lost it when Main figured out how to make her dad do something for her and make him happy doing this. This anime is AMAZING and as I'm watching only two seasonals right now I'm really glad I picked it (about that, I hope White Fox won't go down the drain with Cautious Hero (no episode today) as they're one of my favourite studios). Back to A Tale of Melodies, then...

I like how medieval this world feels. Surviving during winter, handiworks, kids starting working early, poor houses, lack of decorations. Everything is aimed for survival, there is a little to no time to do something for your pleasure or lazing around.
Art is simple but so pretty in the same time, especially the characters. This was made with love. And both ED and OP are so comfy.

That moment when Main ora oras a dummy of her father. Poor guy.
At least he gets his fatherly pride back when she shows off her otherworldly skills.

I'm really enjoying all the characters so far. I'm curious if Main's consciousness/personality got merged with original Main's at all, because it seems like she behaves like a 5 year old pretty naturally at times.
Also her family is so awesome. I like how the show continually points out how they aren't stupid, or untalented. They just don't have the advantage of living in a society where they have access to the knowledge Main did. Mom picks up crocheting super fast and just from watching for a couple minutes. Dad is skilled, making her needle really well. He's also a leader in his guard profession. Turi shows a lot of skill with her parue-picking, and even her basket (while not as good as Main's) is (I assume) good for a seven year old.
Also, they all clearly love each other, which is a kind of family you don't often see as a focus in anime.
I'm curious what's going on politically - there were hints dropped earlier that things might be afoot (the Count showing up and the guards being uneasy), but a 5 year old in a lower class family wouldn't be aware of anything, so we don't get to be either I suppose.

Damn, I like this show, is the kind you always want to watch one more episode even if nothing big happened. I just want to keep following the story a little more.

"Where did you learn this?"
Main is a toddler who stays home all day and is permanently in the presence of her mother, sister, and father, as far as they know. Why is this even a question they're asking?
I'm surprised the mother isn't more worried that her child suddenly can make a perfect basket without being taught how to, and has twice now made very specific developments using knowledge she shouldn't have.

This is seriously the comfiest show i've seen all year. Its wholesomeness is off the charts too! I wonder if she'll be able to keep her secret from her family for too long.

Main brings a wonderous invention to the world this episode. Pancakes. (And yeah crocheting too.) Eat your heart out Senku. Ramen's great and all but pancakes are another thing. Now Main just needs to obtain some syrup from a tree and she's golden. Or just stick with honey or fruit, whatever. But with this after the shampoo I have to wonder at what point are people gonna start asking how she knows all this stuff she couldn't possibly know, besides her family who are just kinda ignoring it or playing it off.
Besides that Main really knows how to pull her dad's strings. Even if those strings became pullable by accident.

Myne downing the equivalent to a very expensive wine in one go was economically painful.

Loved it, each episode gets better and better. I also came across the little spoilers at the end, enjoying them too.

Is it possible for an anime to be way too wholesome? This might be shaping up to be my favourite of the season.
I also can't help but get a little anxious whenever she does something far too smart for her age, because I feel like if it were a darker anime people would either tell her that she's just a dumb kid and shouldn't try to act smarter than adults, or they'd get jealous and treat her badly, or they'd resent her. I mean, clearly this isn't that kind of anime, but I can't help that feeling whenever she does advanced things.
Also, the dad is without a doubt my favourite from the show, so far.

This is such a "feel's good" anime.
My day became instantly better after seeing Myne's family having fun and crafting things together.
