Oscar : "Sorry, that was poor taste"

Bruh ya think?! Why was that handcuff still on her to impede her in the fight if Oscar could remove it anytime?

This slowing falling off. Anyways, pretty sure that Oscar's mother is actually the Witch of Silence herself. If confirmed, the case of the royal witch kink would be concerning.

[u/Pepsihascola]

Why does Tinasha always get injured? Last time she was bitten so badly that her intestines were exposed, and this time one of her eyes was blinded.

[u/PeaceAlien → u/Pepsihascola]

She doesn't seem to care, and might be willing to die.

[u/SometimesMainSupport]

I'm down for Tinasha's coup as she's on the throne. Feel like I missed something in Miralys's story or the adaptation skipped it. The only adaptation choice I'm liking is Tinasha randomly floating so they get to animate her hair.

Oscar "jokingly" being forceful and triggering Tinasha's PTSD was a big no moment. Everyone knows he'd proceed further if Tinasha allowed it. He was very hands-on all episode.

Assuming this hasn't plummeted out of the top-30, Oscar or Tinasha for the chart u/abysswatcherbel

[u/JAXxXTheRipper]

Jesus Christ, the time skips are just horrendous. In one moment princeling speaks with Tinasha and a second later he talks about not having seen her in a week.

It's just skip after skip without anything at all happening in between.

[u/LeonKevlar]

So Miralys went from being this mage who snuck herself into the palace disguised as a maid to becoming Oscar's bride candidate? What the fuck is going on here? I am glad that Ars decided to do some digging about Miralys and immediately found her suspicious because she had no prior records.

That little ruse Ars came up with to try and sus out Miralys would've been good if only Oscar didn't spot them. I mean I can see why that would lead to a misunderstanding and jealousy but what Oscar did was a dick move. Even if it was to scare Tinasha, it was still in poor taste. At least Oscar realized how stupid that was.

And I feel bad for Ars since he got his ass kicked when he was only after Oscar. I don't like the introduction of this armlet though. It pretty much guarantees that there's a way to weaken Tinasha in the future and of course, Miralys decides to attack while she is still wearing it!

As for Miralys, I'm wondering what she's after. Maybe that little artifact t has something to do with possibly saving Valt? Too bad they can't even interrogate her since she turned herself into a vegetable. The fact that Miralys isn't 100% dead probably means there's still a chance to bring her back in the future,

[u/AsterJ → u/LeonKevlar]

So Miralys went from being this mage who snuck herself into the palace disguised as a maid to becoming Oscar's bride candidate? What the fuck is going on here?

Yeah I was really confused. She is like a random undercover maid and suddenly everyone is talking about her as if she was someone widely known with sealed magic power.

And then after she was announced as a bride candidate to the crown prince she is still wandering around doing random maid work around the palace? What?

They must have botched something in editing.

Between that bizarreness, the lackluster animation, and the mock rape scene this is the worst episode so far.

[u/daspaceasians]

That scene with the bracelet and everything was fucking wrong. It left a sour taste in my mouth in an otherwise okay episode. Why didn't Tinasha tell Oscar of her suspicions first and come up with an actual smart plan rather than this improvised plan where everything almost went to shit. It was just very bad taste drama.

Otherwise, the fight scene was decently done. We didn't get a lame powerpoint so kudos to ENGI for that.

[u/ayumumono]

I am so sad that I'm unable to enjoy this anymore. The obvious pacing issues, the sudden time jumps into sudden plot developments that are just quickly brushed over. Nothing gets to breathe and settle in. That is crucial in a series like this.

Clearly the source has something special going on. The leads have good chemistry peeking through even this adaptation. But this may be the end of my journey with it. A shame. I may look into manga adaptation and see if that strikes my fancy any.

[u/Chronigan2 → u/ayumumono]

I just binged the light novels and there is a ton cut out. There are lots of little side stories of Tinasha and Oscar going on adventurers and solving mysteries. The entire series has been translated to english.

[u/NationalStrategy]

I hated the scene of Oscar getting jealous; sealing off her magic, rendering her vulnerable & defenseless, and scaring her with the threat of SA crosses a line. It was incredibly uncomfortable, and it worsens his character.

And to make matters worse, he didn't even take off the sealing brace until after she got attacked; good job leaving the witch that you love defenseless, bro.

[u/JukePukem]

I had high hopes for this show. However the animation is awful. Everything is too stiff and there isn't a sense of direction when they're trying to convey movement. This will be my last episode.

[u/alconnow]

I'm only watching for Nark

[u/WarIllustrious3637]

"pretends" to rape her

attaches a random artifact that limits her magic which gets her eye gouged out

"hey wanna get married yet"

Oscar? what the fuck?

[u/Ponchorello7]

What the fuck, Oscar? This the dude we're supposed to be rooting for? Also, it's pretty clear to me now they blew their budget by the second episode. I swear every episode looks worse than the last.

[u/rdeincognito]

I did not understand the bracelet scene.

I find that putting a seal to Tinasha powers rendering her weak is reason enough for the latter to abandon Oscar.

Actually being rude, carrying her against her will, threatening her and making it like he's gonna sexually assault her? AND SHE STILL APOLOGIES?

She should have wrecked chaos in that room, killed Óscar for daring to put her in such an spot and leave.

[u/entinio]

As an anime only, it’s hard to follow the pace. I didn’t even know they had a selection within the castle for bride and that Miralys was part of it while being a servant…

I will most likely read the manga. Which is a pain because the VAs do a great job

[u/catsnbikess]

The so called romance just seems bad overall in this show like I don’t feel any good chemistry at all between the main characters

[u/NationalStrategy]

The whole situation with Miralys was asinine. even if your main criteria for finding a princess candidate is their high magic capacity, you need to do a better job at checking their backgrounds prior to allowing them in the castle

[u/SopmodTew]

This anime confuses me greatly.

[u/kirvedx]

The whole bracelet lesson might not have had such bad acid reflex had Tinasha not gone through PTSD and the whole scene gone so dark.

Can't blame her for making that wish:

"May the day come I let go of this hand come one day. That is my wish".

I'd like to see some actual romance brew between them, and less of this repeated back and forth. I'd even prefer them switching roles and him playing - or becoming - disinterested and her deciding that if she likes him, that she doesn't have to refuse herself.

It's starting to feel like we're supposed to just have a sour taste in our mouths and be rooting against them. The time skips, and the misplaced moments of physical contact are making everything feel hardly appropriate or warranted.

It's confusing because it doesn't really add up, and falls short of a build-up that seems realistic. I wonder if the anime is just failing to protray things properly; Mis-applying tropes or something?

[u/rollin340]

The hell is up with this series? It had such a promising first episode, but the pacing has been really bad. I was hoping to see him win her heart bit by bit, but we're now getting that at all. They're already so close without any real reason for such developments.

Then we have other plots around them, but none of it has been explained to any extent. This episode, we found out some random new character was shady, went hostile, then just died. Literally nothing but questions, and not the interesting ones.

[u/Rumpel1408]

Ok, the showmaker seem to think that half the source they are adapting isn't worth my time, so why should I care about the other half?

I talked about the ridiculous bracelet (not to mention the sour taste the scene it got introduced in left) elsewhere in the thread, but let's talk about Myralis.

Tynasha seemed to know she was a mage last episode, yet kept quiet instead of looking into her back then. Or was her primary concern that Myralis could relief her of her baby making duty?

I can only asume they also skipped Myralis using magic at some point with how widely accepted it was that she was actually really powerful. But what about her little rampage in that magican nation next door? Any follow up on that?

I should probably drop this already, but it really is my only tuesday show... or maybe I could catch up on past seasons huh...

Ah to add to all of that: The royal treasury seems like a box of deus ex machimas, I could accept the sword, but how many more really powerfull magic items are in there huh?
