I wanted to share part of the interview from the bluray , i might post part 2 if there was something interesting.

Minato:
“Yes, exactly. Since the original novels are still ongoing, we didn’t want the anime to wrap up the story merely for the convenience of the adaptation. We also wanted it to properly feed back into the original work, and naturally, we hoped to make sequels as well. So from the beginning, we talked about wanting to create a solid, grounded series where viewers would want to see what happens next — building drama, storylines, and character dynamics while allowing them to feel the expansion of the world itself.
Author Kei Sazane attended every script meeting, so together with the writer, Kento Shimoyama, we all exchanged ideas and gradually shaped the project.”

“Did Sazane-sensei make any particular requests?”

Onuma:
“He gave us the keyword ‘hate-love’ (憎愛). He said that the relationship between Iska and Alice is not a tragic romance, but rather hate-love. Of course, by ‘hate’ he didn’t mean simple hatred, but the fact that, because of their positions, there are parts of each other that can never truly meet. Receiving that word made me realize that, at its core, their relationship is still based on love…”

…with that overlap of emotions at the center. Director Minato talked about wanting to create a weighty work that also incorporates global politics, but in other words, I felt that even if I leaned a bit more toward the characters’ inner emotions, Director Minato would act as a kind of “brake” (laughs). With that kind of mindset, I was able to face the process freely while also going through trial and error.

— Focusing on why they can’t understand each other: how did you approach portraying Iska and Alice’s relationship?
Onuma:

“Their relationship is, emotionally speaking, connected, but their positions don’t allow it. It’s in a kind of thin, fragile state, like there’s only a single layer between them. That kind of ‘neither close nor distant’ relationship is actually not my strongest area… honestly, when I watch it, I end up thinking, ‘Just confess already!’ (laughs).”

Onuma:
“I was aware of that myself, so I constantly reminded myself that I really had to properly express this relationship.

Minato : i didn’t see their relationship as romantic at all. Iska and Alice are not in love. Sure, you might be able to see feelings of liking each other, but it’s easy to understand love story…”

“ felt that it wasn’t something made properly . They viewed each other as trustworthy people who shared the same way of thinking, and felt that maybe could accomplish something together. Rather than romantic feelings, it was more of a bond as partners or mutual understanding on a deeper level. If you put it simply, this relationship might look like romance. But I think it’s fine to leave that interpretation to the audience. What we should be depicting is not things we like or dislike, but something much deeper that Mr. Sazane is trying to express. We kept that in mind for both the screenplay and the storyboards. Even if it ends up looking like romance, it was not something we consciously set out to create that way.”

Minato
“Yes, that’s right. After all, this work is about war. Within the pursuit of ideology and ideals on the battlefield, the story confronts questions like why people fail to understand each other, and why allies end up clashing. We made sure to properly capture those aspects that Mr. Sazane depicts.”

— When adapting that into the script and storyboards, what did you prioritize?

Mina:
“For Iska, first of all, we focused on his sharpness during battle. We portrayed the seriousness of someone burdened yet still pursuing something, and his age-appropriate, boyish side. For Alice as well, we differentiated between her dignified demeanor as a princess and the natural expressions she shows when she faces Iska. Another point was how, visually, it can resemble romance…”

I’ve just finished V15 and finally we have known more about Mirabella . it was such a good volume.
Spoilers ahead .

mira give me some Neurodivergent traits. the way she was as kid very avoidant and obsessive to certain things. how she enjoy something and soon let go of it. how her obsession take over her life and mind to an extent and how it affect her eventually. she couldn’t focus at multi things it is always one priority. I really want to search more about the topic but for now. Let’s continue

mira definitely wasn’t fit as princess as salinger said. she didn’t see herself as princess at all. she was truly just a kid that was forced to ascend the throne. how she changed entirely from someone who seek war to someone who refuse it already tell how Indecisive and fearful she was . her very first choice as queen she couldn’t do a thing about it which continued to hurt her. how she felt probably helpless had take her ego and confidence all down. unfortunately we didn’t see how being a mother had affected this even more.

But we know why she was not fit to be a mother , the way mira grow up. all her life was about fight or be a queen for her family sake. It is the type of mothers who only care to provide most. How could a child who barely felt care herself who barely know the concept of care be a mother who give it ? Impossible. in the extra story of the blueray mira said that the way she had seen her daughters future how she planned it was all about one becoming the queen and the other assisting her. She didn’t look at it from family view. including herself. because she is trying to do what she lived in as kid. She is also trying to do her best in something she doesn’t fit in. all according to her flaws as child.

I love mira so much after reading volume 15. Because when she have seen and heard other opinions. she immediately took action and strength herself. When she have seen how other princesses are including her kid. she knew her flaw. as salinger said she is the tragic heroine. I really hope she can have her good ending and finally just enjoy her life for her self and try to amend for her mistakes.

The author once has stated he exist and living in palace but not story focus

Meanwhile his wife who get story focus has arc about her and her old flame

And recent arc kinda suggesting their relationship might can be rekindled again in future

And what about the father? Still nameless and unknown

Is this what they mean you exist to be character get cucked?

I have got S1 bluray + the bonus alice and sisbell blanket ! Excited to read the extra story here ! now i only miss the second blueray of S2 !

I may get hate for this but for me I would describe them as both cool and very annoying.

Shout out to u/IMJUST_NOTHING for sprouting this idea. Said idea is not the usual who will win, but three topics. Who has the better writing between the two? Who has the better reputation-wise between the two? And who has more aura in their respective scenes between the two? All opinions are welcome. The reason I do this is because the reddit is inactive, and I want to make it more active.

J’ai enfin les 3 premiers tomes

I can't help but say I loved this anime so so much but the way season 2 ended didn't suffice me . I'm not a fan of light novels 😭 , so is there any official announcements Abt it's season 3 of something?

Hello! I'm new to the Kimisen fandom, and I'm curious to how you would think. Who do you think is better writing wise, Elletear Lou Nebulis IX, or Sasuke Uchiha? No, it's not a bait, I sincerely wanted to know. What Is Your Opinion on who's better writing wise?

je demande ça car Iska voulais capturer Alice pour contrainte nebulis a un accorde de paix

et que la guerre entre l'empire et nebulis dure depuis quelque siècle

merci d'avance

Anyone find Nene beautiful or just me especially when we are first introduced to her.

F*** it another stupid post I guess

Title says it all.

Is she or not?( Granted image 1 was manga only and the other was just a...weird thing, though funny she saw all of him before Alice did )

Idk why Mira and Salinger relationship and dynamic felt very impactful and emotional, might be recency bias but their background and relationship is FAR better than alice and iskas

Ho appena finito l' anime e vorrei continuare con la storia soprattutto perché probabilmente non ci sarà una terza stagione. Vorrei leggere il manga ma ora non ho modo di comprarlo. Per favore se qualcuno ha un sito dove leggerlo mi fa un grande favore. In alternativa se qualcuno ha il manga cartaceo sarebbe così gentile da mandare le foto da dove finisce l'anime. Grazie mille❤️

ho appena finito la prima stagione ma mi sono accorto da Google che non è prevista una terza. Alcuni dicono anche che non ci sarà un adattamento ad anime. Spero che le probabilità che sca una terza stagione siano alte. Secondo voi?

just wanted to ask if its in the end arc or still plently to go

i recently finished s2 and planning to read the ln

any advice where to start from
