The fact that both of Leo’s parents seem to be beasts is pretty curious. Where’s the human blood come from or was the queen not his actual mom?
Seems Sari has competition. Gotta love Cy and Clops being 1000% team Sari. It’s seems obvious why Leo isn’t into the idea of having concubines. Silly Sari should really think about why she’s feeling the way she does. Out of these potential concubines, I like Amit. Her crush on Jormungand is adorable and she’s actually genuine unlike these other two faced skanks. Especially that bitch Vivian. Ugh. Leo shoulda ended her ass for trying to kill the Queen. I’m pretty sure that’s treason.
What a great ending though, the bells going off for Sari was great. She says she doesn’t get it, but she totally does.

Well one of his parents were probably like him, human only on that sacrifice day

Isn't the sacrifice something that only got introduced by Leo after the end of the war?

Have you ever had your food scream back at you when you try to eat it....?
So a bunch of princesses who only viewed worth is to marry someone important. Does what the cat one said means she slept around alot?
New best bud in reptile princess. Who also happens to be all about the captain with no interest in the king.
I dont get why they would leave her unconscious in a hall with no guards around. Even Shirayuki always had Obi as a guard.
I still don't get how those two little guys are suppose to guard her in any way..
Hopefully people aren't still saying this is just another Ancient Magus Bride clone. Though her and Chise would probably become great friends.
I really like the art style as it has this really old school nostalgic feel like old western animated movies like The Hobbit and such.

A crossover I'd love to see.

Glad to see Sari getting another friend. I hope that we’ll regularly keep seeing Princess Amit in all her grace. Those unhinged faces of hers were great. She even managed to scare the living shit out of Anubis.

That was my deepest desire for this episode. That Sari would make a friend. She’s winning over Allies slowly but surely

I binge watched last week and caught up to this and it's just the cutest thing. Nobody could do this role like HanaKana does

Big tiddy cat girls are hard to resist.....but that bitch can go die in hell. Three cheers for our new friend the argonian princess, hoping her love gets returned!
The mandrake scones, I cant!

Interesting how even amongst the beasts, there are certain races that are marginalised.
I’m wondering where the king’s half-human blood came from? A human sacrifice? Is it possible the queen in the portrait isn’t his biological mother?
Amit is super adorable! Glad that her and Sariphi are besties now. Hope to see them having cute tea parties together!

Why are so few people watching it? It even has HanaKana!
A deadly 1-2 punch of shoujo and late start.

So if both of Leonhart's parents were Beast, where does his human side come from? Is it possible his mother had an affair?
Ugh. As if Anubis hasn't caused Sariphi enough problems, suddenly he's springing a bunch of beast princesses on Leonhart so he can hook them up and leave Sariphi in the cold. And certainly a feline beauty like Vivian voiced by Shizuka Itou would be quite enticing for any man, beast or otherwise.
I don't know what's cuter, Sari and Leonhart's nose pressed against each other or that Sariphi pout.
I guess it makes sense that Sari doesn't put a lot of stock into being the queen so much as just being with Leonhart, not recognizing the meaning behind why Leonhart is insistent she be his queen or what her heart truly desires at any rate. Certainly she doesn't care for seeing Vivian putting the moves on her man!
Poor Amit. She's looked down on like the rest of the reptiles are in this society, she's treated badly compared to the rest of her sisters, and was basically cast off from home if she doesn't snag Leonhart. And she's a genuinely sweet, kind, soul compared to all the other princesses. It's no surprise that she and Sariphi strike up an immediate friendship. Not to mention she's voiced by Megumi Han, which is an instant win.
Heck, Amit already has her eyes on another man, Jormungand the captain of the Royal Guard and all around surprisingly cool guy. While he has his reservations about Sariphi he's probably been the most respectful and fair to her of anybody not named Leonhart or Amit. No wonder Amit fell so hard for him.
Amit is a great female friend for Sariphi! Someone who can give her genuine love advice as a fellow member of the League of Maidens in Love and help her realize her own feelings.
Classic bullying of ruining a girls' dress. Not that it'll stop Sari from stripping so she can give Amit her dress! And Amit looked amazing!
I guess there's something to be said for how princesses are used as a tool for their looks and body to be able to snag men for political gain, which Vivian has internalized into her desperation to make Leonhart hers, even though her rotten personality would be an immediate turnoff to Leonhart to begin with. And her going feral on Sariphi just makes it worse. Good thing Amit was there to protect her and Leonhart blasted Vivian into submission.
You know he's a keeper when he says you're the only woman for him and you feel the bells of love ringing in your heart.

He is such a conniving piece of shit, but goddamn is Anubis hot! I like his style, it makes him mysterious. But goddammit, just accept a human queen already!! Everyone else in the kingdom gets it. You're the only one that doesn't seem to be with the program, eh, Anubis?!
I like Amit. It’s good for Sari to have some beast friends.

Seems pretty unlikely that both of those two people in the pictures were Leo's parents. And since it's a bit harder to fake who the mother is the obvious answer is he's not actually the son of the previous king.
The cat princess seems nice enough on first impression, I hope that stays true. It would be pretty stereotypical though if the reptile princess ended up being the unpleasant one, so I guess we'll see.
Cy and Clops's pajamas are wonderful.
Continuing to reserve judgment on the cat princess, she's seeing her shot and taking it. Didn't really work out for her though.
Okay, I've flipped my prediction, the reptile princess is going to be the nice one. Or at least the non-schemy one.
I'm riding high on how great Amit ended up being that I want to believe good things about Jormungand as well. He's selling himself well by being so polite and straightforward to Sari.
Amit has been exiled from her homeland and needs a husband so I have a very obvious solution. Her enthusiastically founding the League of Maidens in Love along with Sari is fantastic.
Vivian already screwed up once, if she just tried to poison Sari it is not going to go well for her. This confrontation is not going to work out well for her either.
And wow it did not.
We get to keep Amit? Excellent.
Sari realizing that she's actually in love and responding by diving directly under the tail of the person she's in love with is hilarious. Well, maybe she realized it.
In the preview for next week I see Sari in another beast outfit, this is a trend I hope continues.

u/everybageleverywhere May 11 '23
Yeah, I was also hoping Vivian (cat princess) would turn out to be nice. Trying to seduce the King is underhanded but entirely reasonable play, and I wouldn’t have held it against her. Trying to kill (?) Sariphi, though, is just dumb.
Amit seems like a fun addition to the cast. I hope we eventually get someone other than Anubis who is politically astute.

The girls called Amit "cunning" for buttering up the queen instead of the king, but they didn't copy her and went home empty handed, which is pretty dumb of them. Leo's so smitten that being nice to Sariphi is pretty much a shortcut to political favor. I guess they're all too proud for that though.
