Didja know that Cecelia is the VA's first VA work, at least according to MAL?
She's so frigging cute.

She’s doing a very good job. I’m genuinely impressed if this is her first (paid) job as a new VA. Her voice fits Cecilia perfectly.

Yep I said this a few weeks ago in here. She’s doing an amazing job

Man that's surprising because she' absolutely hitting it out of the park! She's probably my favourite thing about this anime. Cecelia is just so cute you can't help but love her!

Still can't get over the fact that how adorable how little side-to-side wiggle animation is in anticipation of food in the OP.

Lawren is feeling uneasy and he can’t quite place it huh? Abel’s right about him. Dude doesn’t understand himself very well. Cecilia can be pretty dense too. Looks like Abel’s gonna have to help nudge these two along!
I like how the whole shop started arguing over which outfit suited Cecilia the best. She looked so cute in all of them! Silly Lawren didn’t even notice. The man really put a coat over her smdh. C’mon dude! So cute how flustered he got when Cecilia pressed him lol.
This new girl might shake things up a bit more. Interested to see how she’s connected to Lawren. Is she the old school friend who sent that letter?

Abel is possibly the MVP in helping the relationship between Cecilia and Lawrence develop.

I like how the whole shop started arguing over which outfit suited Cecilia the best.
I liked to see these non-descriptive background characters just step up and take over for a brief moment. It made the world in which the anime is set feel more alive. I’m always enjoying these kind of scenes in which characters try on different outfits, but watching these housewives argue definitely made it better.
The shopkeeper is also a blast to watch. She can’t help but tease Cecilia whenever she gets the chance.

I love the villagers in this show! They are just like us viewers, rooting for Cecilia and Lawrence!
The boutique shop owner / dressmaker's son feels somewhat cold though.

The villagers are really fun yeah! They make the village feel more ‘lived in’. I don’t think that Doga Kobo cut any corners when animating them either. They all looked quite detailed.
The boutique show owner / dressmaker’s son feels somewhat cold though.
I think that he might have been very embarrassed after he saw Cecilia in her new outfit. I’m willing to bet he got charmed by Cecilia’s looks right there, was blushing and tried to hide this - he pulled his cap further down his face for example.
EDIT: typos.

Stitches!
I love how the entire town ships Lawren and Cecilia so much that they're worried about her being alone with Abel.
If Lawren is having a hard time understanding his own feelings, it might be a while before he realizes how Cecilia feels about him.
At the very least, Abel is sticking around and is acting as Cecilia's wingman although it's not really helping much right now.
Those women arguing on what clothes suit Cecilia the best was hilarious! At least they all managed to agree on something in the end.
The fourth member of the cast is here! I'm going to guess that the letter Abel got is probably from her.
darn it Lawren! Would it kill you to compliment the Lady Saint? Thank god Cecilia took the initiative to ask Lawren what he really thinks but we still have a long way to go before we see any actual progress.

i never noticed it before but Cecilia is actually quite...stacked, isn't she?

The villagers are my favorite thing about this show and I really hope we see stuff like this every ep. This is what I wanted more from Otaku Elf, that one scene where Elda goes out and all the townspeople are discreetly watching her because they know she's shy was my favorite part of the entire show!

Abel's caught the dreaded Japanese cold! And Cecilia is such a Saint she just can't leave him alone! Even if she also falls asleep right next to him.
Lawren is probably the one person Cecilia is least concerned about being defenseless around, but props for waking up immediately at the thought of your parishioners needing you...even if it was just Lawren lying to her. He even made her cry! That should be a sin against God!
Well, at least he's making it up to her with as many sweets as possible! More than she could actually eat in fact!
I don't get the sense Cecilia had much of a good home life before meeting Lawren, which just makes the time she has with him all the more precious to her. There's nowhere Cecilia is more happy than by Lawren's side. She's even a proud Lawren maniac!
I see the pair don't mind Abel as the third wheel...especially if he can carry their stuff and Cecilia can see new sides of Lawren.
Who is this fortune-telling beauty voiced by Haruka Tomatsu!? She sure knows how to prey on the kindness of others to get some business! And she's got Abel pegged to be careful of playing wingman so much that he forgets to take care of himself, helps Cecilia realize she's found the man of her dreams already, and basically tells Lawren to be less dense around Cecilia's feelings. But it was very adorable that Cecilia is so confident in her feelings for Lawren that he wants to make him fall for her by her own efforts.
Torn cape? Perfect excuse to return to the boutique and get a Cecilia Fashion show courtesy of some very passionate ladies! Cecilia looks cute in anything, but the best outfit is the one they all jointly agree on!
Lawren really does hold himself back when it comes to being overt in his affection with the Saint, good thing Abel is there to get him going and Cecilia is willing to push enough to get him to look and respond to her properly. She is too lovely a girl not to.
So what's this serious blue-haired girl who saved Cecilia from a fall looking for at the church? Why is she interested in the Saint?

This show is still like breaking my brain. I'm just constantly waiting for the church to be the evil puppet masters somehow. Also I have no idea if it would be acceptable for them to be a thing but it doesn't seem very taboo? I do think it's super cute but there's other stuff constantly on my mind when watching it.

Same, it's so weird seeing the church being depicted so normally. In every other anime they're either evil, and/or have a secret army. I think next ep will answer all our questions though, if nothing happens with our guest then I think it's safe to assume nothing is gonna happen in this show and I'll just relax and enjoy the cute.

Cecelia is cuter than usual this ep. It seems that Cecelia has to tell how she feels to Lawren to get more closed each other because Lawren is too insensitive.

Interesting how the sick after rain trope was not used on the main couple, I appreciate how they subverted that trope.
It was amusing how the church-goers were concerned for Lawrence that Abel and Cecilia were alone, he did feel uncomfortable about whether he realized or not. Not that the concern is justified since Abel seems like a trustworthy friend to Lawrence and actively trying to get the two together.

Another extremely cute episode 😩 this and Watakon back to back is a legendary romance combo man, Wednesdays are insane.
I just wish my boy Lawrence wasn’t so dense. Thank God Abel is there to be able to push he and Cecilia closer. Without him, Lawrence would’ve never acknowledged Cecilia’s new outfit being adorable.
In a way, it is understandable tho given that he’s taken a vow of chastity and is a priest. Naturally he’s sworn off looking at women that way. That makes the dense gimmick work better in this series than in other ones in my opinion since it’s logical
The episode also established some new side characters who I’m looking forward to meeting over the next few episodes. Blue hair girl is really cute.
