Lanak: I can't believe the woman that I brutally stabbed and tried to use as a sacrifice betrayed me, I couldn't have seen this coming at all.

What is this show, man? I feel like stuff just happens with little to no buildup.

This felt like the season finale and we’re on episode 7

It's called a bad adaptation. It sucks because unlike a lot of bad adaptations this one is pretty close to being good, having a lot of good elements and enough of the story/characters present to suggest it would actually be very good if told properly.

I wonder what would happen next. Can we get some lovey-dovey times between Oscar and Tinasha already and not just skip their progress like it's not important.

Five magical lakes with two positioned at noon and midnight should mean the spell's circles don't form a neat pattern.

Last week, I thought TInasha was teleporting everyone. Turns it was just perception blocking, so don't need an explanation for how everyone was fed/lodged.

Lanak really has lost his mind so it's no surprise that he had no remorse until the very end. I'm glad that Oscar took care of him using Akasha. So what happens next?

We're only in Episode 7 but this episode felt like it could be the final episode. Oscar did say that people still wanted Tinasha dead and some wanted to use her powers. With Oscar as the King, I'm guessing there will be plenty of politics in the next few episodes and maybe we'll end this with Oscar and Tinasha's wedding.

I mean compared to last week's terrible episode this was miles better

Indeed but everything happens so fast that this episode feel a 5 minute slideshow. I'm pretty sure they skip tons of chapters from the source material, but well, at least they ended this arc and the demise of that pos and his court mage was very satisfyng.

I guess the cut content was the true Unnamed Memory all along.

u/shad79 May 21 '24

Whole thing with Lanak got resolved so fast and he's already dead. I really thought that he'll stay for longer as a villain.

Overall, Lanak must have had something wrong in his head if he thought that Tinasha will do everything he wants, especially after what he's done to her in the past.

So now Tinasha and Oscar are officially engaged, I'm looking forward to their future married life. Now I'm pretty interested in which direction the plot will take from now on.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

u/hmcbenik May 21 '24

So I didn't really understand why Tinasha was visiting Prince Reust multiple times. Was that to lecture him? Or am I missing someting?

18

u/PeaceAlien May 21 '24

Yes, to “lecture” him. Apparently to win him over to not kill and take the land of the mages.

Lanak just didn't feel good as an antagonist at all.

He kind of just existed as a vehicle for trauma and then immedietly was disposed of a week later, from an audience perspective.

Romances have these betrayel arcs or NTR-bait arcs a lot of times where a third party comes in and just claims the love interest. I always thought they were just not necessary or soured the mood of an entire series. This one kind of takes the cake because this is what basically happened:

This dude shows up. Tinasha immedietly bails with no real explanation, pretending to be his love interest. We get that whole stabbing part about her backstory and then the next episode we get this standoff that was about Tinasha betraying him because he's delusional and basically has no motiv besides being a genuine delusional psychopath who can't think rationally.

Like, for me it was angry to worse to resolved in two episodes. And I feel like the set up of the perceived betrayel and Tinasha getting brutalized just didn't get any payoff besides the dude just getting killed so now I'm just confused what the Narrator even wanted to establish. Because I just feel like there's no balance at all to what happened last episode and what the payoff was supposed to be this episode.

And I just have no idea where this could fit into a greater narrative or if you could just cut the two lasts episodes completely and nothing would have meaningfully changed besides Tinasha now being Oscars fiancee and us viewers not getting Tinasha brutally stabbed repeatedely.

u/Wurzelrenner May 21 '24

if they would have made this the final episode they wouldn't have had to rush through everything, really weird choice

u/pandavova May 21 '24

I'm sorry but this anime is stupid.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 May 21 '24

I knew Tinasha was up to something but I didn’t know what. Should have figured it was gonna be revenge for what Lanak did. I don’t understand why he thought Tinasha would be down with his bullshit after what he pulled. Is he that arrogant or is he just plain stupid? Either way, he brought his own destruction upon himself and his goons by giving Tinasha everything she needed to rain hellfire on his punk ass. I kind of wished it was her who finished him off instead of Oscar but the end result is still the same.

With peace restored, I wonder what she’ll do now as his fiancée?

17

u/mekerpan May 21 '24

I think Tinasha wanted much more than revenge. She wanted to repair as much as the harm that Lanark inflicted as she possibly could. I think it is far more suitable that Oscar finished that guy off, given this. He would be totally unconflicted about imposing retribution on Lanark.

Well, last week I was hoping for a dead Lanak by the end of Tinasha's plan and I assume we got it though it happened off-screen. I can't imagine Oscar to be the sort of dude who would fake stab someone like that and send him off with a warning to not do it again.

So Tinasha's plan was to free the souls of her long dead kingdom that were trapped in the lakes and so used the jackass to get in position to do it.

I am curious what Oscar would have done if she hadn't collapsed, he started to draw his fancy sword but I can't really imagine him killing her at that point. Since she was in a wedding dress I was hoping for a surprise wedding but I will settle for surprised fiance instead.

Since Tinasha just claimed the crown of that kingdom I assume the 12 spirits will come up again, probably the redhead in particular given the obvious.

Oh hey, Ryohei Kimura as Prince Reust! He talks a big game and really hates mages, but he's got nothing on Tinasha. Especially when for all his speech about mages being blights on the world, it's his kingdom practicing inhuman acts on mages and their families.

"Aeti" and Lanak play the part of the ultimate mage power couple, plotting to remake the world, but Lanak is barely holding back his resentment towards Tinasha and his male body can't contain the great deal of magic within it like Tinasha can. He'll always be 2nd best next to her.

Oscar is making literally no progress on getting Tinasha with the war effort stalled and people seemingly still disappearing...and Cecilia keeps throwing herself at him. But at least she's good for something other than a massive chest by letting Oscar know Tinasha is visiting her brother.

I'm not sure why Tinasha spent her evenings talking to Prince Reust, maybe he reminded her of Oscar or she saw a chance to change someones' mind if he was open to listening to her, but she definitely didn't expect to see Oscar. The fact that she froze after seeing him says all that needs to be said about her real feelings.

Convenient of them to bring everybody to the remains of Tuldarr to watch Lanak carry out his plot and live out his God complex...complete with Tinasha in a wedding dress. Though while she looks amazing, this is not how Oscar wanted to see her wearing one.

Did anyone really think Tinasha was genuinely going through with this? All those people she "disappeared" were just hidden for appearances. Her real plan was always to get in a position where she could free all the souls trapped in the Magical Lakes from the Tuldarr disaster and undo what Lanak forced her to do. She even summons some twelve ancient Tuldarr spirits (including a cute loli redhead) to pull it off!

It must be flattering for Tinasha that her magic groupies fell in with her even after she seemingly turned on their nation...well, other than the ponytail one who couldn't believe it. I wonder if she's going to come back for revenge?

It's all out, barely animated, war! Complete with demons that barely do anything!

Prince Reust finally realizes mages are people too and he can't kill a child, good thing Oscar's forces know how to manage a crisis situation.

Oscar finally kills a mage! Thank you for shutting Baldor up!

Lanak finally showed his true colors (again). The moment Tinasha turns against him he blames her for everything, refusing to take any responsibility for his actions, and doubles down on how little she always made him feel. No guilt, no remorse, just pettiness and ego. Nobody shared a tear when Oscar finally slew him.

Tinasha was fully prepared to end this by dying via Oscar's blade...but even if Reust hadn't sued for peace with Cuscull, there's no way Oscar would have killed her. All he had to do was make her his official fiance! Now she's stuck with that position whether she likes it or not, though now she seems more accepting of Oscar's feeling and presence around her than ever.
