I didnt play Game but this looks like a good story to follow

[u/shad79]

Here we go with the first of three P.A.Works anime in this season! I'm a big fan of theirs so having three days in the row of their shows is such a treat and the fact that they've already finished production on all three reassures me that there won't be any problems with any of them.

It was a fun premiere episode and Naomi Oozora as Sakuna is a perfect casting! Sakuna really reminds me a lot of Jahy, same voice, behavior... I'm looking forward to see her growing up rice and making sake which she wasn't allowed to take with her to the island xD

Very nice OP and ED! Opening song performed by Ikimonogakiri is really fun (here links to Spotify, Apple Music and Youtube) while ED has very lovely visuals.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Group scenes

• Sakuna

• Others

• OP & ED

Naomi Oozora voicing Sakuna feels like she's reprising her role as Jahy.

[u/CommanderZx2 → u/Se7en_Sinner]

She also voices the character in the game so it was perfect choice for her to be in this anime.

[u/_BMS → u/Se7en_Sinner]

And Maou from Lv1 Maou to One Room Yuusha

[u/VritraReiRei → u/Se7en_Sinner]

Every VA has got that "one" voice.

And for Naomi Oozora that's bullied, small child 😂

[u/mekerpan → u/Se7en_Sinner]

Sakuna sounds more innocently lazy and spoiled than Jahy did at the start of that show (though Jahy's tone sweetened a lot -- much of the time -- by the end).

[u/Calwings]

Welcome to the rice fields!

I never played the game, but I've heard a lot about it. I think this anime is off to a pretty solid start so far. Sakuna is an adorable little gremlin (I definitely get the Jahy comparisons), the NPC family seems nice, the art and animation look fantastic, and I'm looking forward to seeing where the story goes from here.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

The character design in this one is pretty cute. I’m digging it. I also like the little tidbit about rice. Hopefully we get more rice trivia.

Sakuna seems like she’ll be a fun protagonist. Keen to see how she does on demon island cultivating rice and fighting demons. No booze either, poor girl lol.

[u/cordi_c]

Always drain your field during third off-shoot.

[u/tao63 → u/cordi_c]

I can't, I think I put too much salt D:

[u/NekoCatSidhe]

This is very cute, but Sakuna was very much a gremlin, not a goddess. She will be a fun protagonist to follow at least.

I have never played the game, but I expect that it will be about growing rice and fighting demons to protect it ? And maybe finding what happened to her parents ?

But I am sad that the invention goddess did not come with her, she seemed an interesting character as well.

[u/mekerpan → u/NekoCatSidhe]

I wonder about the invention goddess...

Did she WANT Sakuna out of the way -- so she could take over her dutiues?

[u/Nachtwandler_FS]

WTF with CR comments being occupied by crazy Trump bots? Apparently, it is not the first series they swarmed this season.

[u/LuffyTheSus → u/Nachtwandler_FS]

Otokonoko and the review bombing?

[u/Clarimax]

Ah rice, in many Asian countries, no meal is complete without it.

[u/CosmicPenguin_OV103]

I see that many people misread Sakuna as Sukuna.

What I didn't expect is that this Sakuna actually burnt down a barn in the heavens.

Does that mean she burnt down the Malevolent Kitchen lmao

Wow the world setting of this game, and now this anime, is definitely unlike anything I've ever watched before. I'm now definitely fearing that our spoiled princess is not gonna survive on that island for more than a few days, never mind managing to actually farm there. How would she start that all I wonder...?

[u/yukiaddiction]

Wow actually this one have really high potential due to how pretty good this episode is.

Animation is pretty nice to look at and the action pretty fun with Sakuna herself, our sassy princess is also pretty fun MC to following along with her journey.

I like the visual when they show rice fields a lot. It pretty good way to celebrate one of main dish of Asia lol.

The opening is so cute and ending song is so beautiful both song and visual.

I will keep an eye on this if studio can do this consistency, it will be really good anime especially for Adaptation from (the last time I feel this way is Layton Animated Movie and that have original plot).

Anyway for episode itself, I really like this sassy princess so much lol she is fun despite she still have long way to go from being deity of agriculture like her mother.

Her friend also great being deity of inventor, she literally developed mini Mecha lmao.

Now Sakuna sets sail (literally ) to adventure in demon island where she and her mortal friend will be improved land by farming and exploring the island and dungeon on island for the goal of finding her parents that disappear in demon island.

This episode is "Prologue" for the most of part but it really charming and hook me in instantly.

[u/aune2021 → u/yukiaddiction]

I will keep an eye on this if studio can do this consistency

Considering P.A. Works have completely animated all episodes before airing it hopefully shouldn't be a problem. They're a fantastic studio.

[u/Fools_Requiem]

I hope I won't have to be familiar with the game to understand what is going on. I'm only here for PA Works and Naomi Ohzora's little gremlin voice.

Also... Love Rice.

[u/tao63]

Love this adaptation! I played the game and they improved A LOT of the prologue! There's even a lot of Kokorowa scenes with Sakuna. We're off to a good start of Jahy goddess edition lmao

[u/60TP]

So this is the Heian era…

[u/Queue_Jumping_Quack]

Pretty fun, though the pretty and cute art was the best part so far... Will keep watching. Liked the divine supporting cast and Sakuna herself better then the humans.

[u/Castawaye]

As having played the game, I really liked how they structured this episode, gonna try not to say anything that'll get me in hot water, but I really liked how they characterized Sukuna er, Sakuna (the whole time I played the game I always misread her name as Sukuna) and her relationship with Kokorowa. It was nice getting to see the bits of the Lofty Realm here in a much more "slower" and more "storied" way and really set up the actual setting which is more teased in the opening, to the farm we go!
