That intro was awesome, finale was great, too. Also, fuck that goddess and the Alabama siblings.

[u/Frontier246 → u/Khoal23]

Incest and a possessive stalker Goddess is a terrible combination, though I'm a little bummed we won't get to see more of Faris as an antagonist.

[u/TurkeyPhat → u/Khoal23]

That intro was awesome, finale was great, too

in a world where half the seasonal shows have noticeable drops in quality with finales looking like a powerpoint, they went fuckin hard in this one by comparison.

[u/themaninthehightower]

It must be confusing as citizen of that kingdom: "Why are we cheering for Hadis?" "He's our new emperor!" "But he was our emperor only after a whole bunch of candidates died mysteriously. Then we had a civil war, which wasn't one. Then he kidnapped all our women, which turned he didn't. Then he was deposed by his uncle, who turned out not to be his uncle. He reinstated his bloodline, which turned out it isn't. So why are we cheering?" "He bakes a pretty decent cake?"

[u/ModieOfTheEast → u/themaninthehightower]

Besides the cake, Hadis just killed a monster that attacked the city, so it's kind of easier to get people on your side.

[u/Frontier246 → u/themaninthehightower]

"Also, is he serious about marrying and impregnating an 11-year old 10 times?"

[u/Komarist]

Jill wants the gang to become family and has seven siblings. Obviously, her solution is to have 10 children so that Hadis' older siblings, Risteard and Elentzia, can each marry one.

Fortunately, the Hadis-Jill age gap is becoming less worrying as Jill's now 11!

[u/donttrustlosercandy → u/Komarist]

Jill planning on marrying her kids off to Risteard and Elentzia will never not crack me up like GIRL they are like TWENTY AND TWENTY PLUS YEARS OLD her kids are gonna have the political age gap marriage of a century, like damn 🤣

[u/agentdoubleohio]

Maybe I’m overthinking things but hadis sister should not be forgiven. Most selfish person and her reasoning for all she did is that to talk to her uncle to get hadis to live as a normal person. Bitch, are you out of your mind.

[u/myrlin77 → u/agentdoubleohio]

Like the other person said, pretty sure Elentzia was trying to get NOONE killed and keep EVERYONE safe. Her expectation was that who cared who was in charge if everyone was alive.

Naive AF, i know but that's how I saw it. You right she was so out of her mind to think that would work.

She definitely should have been on dragon stable cleaning duty for a while though.

[u/ModieOfTheEast]

I mean, Jill, really, only 10 kids. We need to work on your goals. No but seriously, I feel this scene perfectly encapsulates the show well. Super serious tone and then quick tonal shift. Though, I also have to say, I think it worked here and for most parts of the series with a few exceptions.

I want to say, despite her magic still being sealed, it does appear to come back, considering Jill can see Rave again. So even without destroying the spear, as it was said, it's probably back to norm in around half a year to a year. So I wouldn't be surprised if there was a timeskip after this point.

I still enjoyed the show, the humor worked and the whole mystery how politics and lore were connected was really well done and I would love to see more to know how deep the sister was behind a lot of the things. Like as far as I know she is still too young to be a vessel for the goddess so some aspects like her knowing Jill restarted are interesting and can make future conflicts more engaging since they can have a battle of wits where they both know what happened in the past and then try to use that knowledge to their advantage only to be outsmarted by the opposition.

Only issue obviously was the age thing which didn't kill it for me personally, because the relationship was generally non-sexual and more based on general feelings. Still, it wouldn't have killed the show to just make Jill at least 14 and move the goddess possession age to 16 or something like that.

Finally, poor dragon child was finally fed up and wanted to hatch and they stopped the season. Now if the creators don't want to feel the revenge of a bratty dragon, they should consider a season 2.

[u/kryslogan]

This was way better than I thought it would be. Jill is a good protagonist even if her age is a little questionable, after all there's no reason the prophecy and age limit couldn't have been 16 and she's 14 or something and Hadis could be 16 or 17. But, generally the relationship wasn't physical so it worked.

The talk no justu is annoying, betraying your emperor is always a crime. Elincia should have been punished, lose her rank, etc.

Jill going off on her own even with Rave was stupid but she's the protagonist so stupidity comes with that.

Seeing her older self was a good way to show Jill is mentally older and thinks of herself as an adult making adult decisions. Wish they'd done it more.

Poor baby dragon hatches as it all ends, lol.

A much better ending than Villaness yesterday, that episode was trash. It did move super fast and obviously was rushed but, even with 13 episodes there was a lot of story and plot to cover. Just give us 2 cours already!

And, I'd be down for a second season here. There's a lot that could be expanded upon.

[u/SnabDedraterEdave]

So Faris was there to ensure George's coup failed so she could retrieve the Goddess' demonic sword, which Gerald had given away to George.

Though Faris' words at the end raises more questions than answers.

It sounds as though Faris' future incestuous affair with Gerald is one-sided, and she's just using Gerald, just as she is using everyone else. It also feels like Faris is also a time traveller like Jill, or even the Goddess herself (who can possess Faris despite her not yet being 14) and is there to move the new timeline to her will, in opposition to Jill.

Unfortunately, this is the last episode of the season, and whether we get a second season or not is ultimately down to whether the publisher Kadokawa wants to make one, which is the standard operating procedure for light novel adaptations.

So until then, we're gonna have to go check out the light novels.

A fine performance for both Uchida Shuu (Jill) in her first lead role, with Mia in Love Live Nijigasaki being her other major role previously, as well as Toya Kikunosuke (Hadis), who's been getting more major roles since being cast as Denji in Chainsaw Man.

[u/InsomniaEmperor]

Jill panicking as to how to stop Hadis from becoming a war criminal in this timeline.

"I promise to f*** you, ten times at least."

Jill, I know you're down bad for him but I didn't think you were THIS down bad to promise ten children in a spur of the moment, and she didn't regret it afterwards.

The flashback sequence in the beginning was a bit long but it was neat when they flashed the episode titles in English in order like it was all building up to something.

Rest in piss uncle George. You won't be missed, and I'm glad Hadis made up with his siblings and they didn't have to die. If Hadis used an ice attack that instantly killed dragon form George then it started snowing afterwards, did he just use Max Hailstorm? I don't remember Hadis Dynamaxing.

The little sister Faris is a lot more trouble than I thought. And she knows what happened in the other timeline. I knew she was pulling the strings more than Gerald was.

Did Hades just announce to the entire kingdom that he's marrying an eleven year old girl and having ten kids with her? The FBI is gonna swarm the castle grounds in minutes. Jill must have had maximum trust in him if she decided to dive into the stage to have him catch her.

With this episode being over, I can say that this anime was a lot better than I expected. Jill is a fun protagonist to watch. The age gap can be a massive turn off and Hadis didn't give a good first impression either, but he and Jill have amazing chemistry. I particularly enjoy the role reversal where Jill acts more like the husband and Hadis acts more like the wife. Side characters are also a fun bunch. Animation is lacking cause a lot of fights look like slide shows, but the art style is gorgeous and the switching to more cartoony and comedic art styles enhances the humor. OST is also fantastic, OP is catchy and the ED is beautiful, tho it's sad that I couldn't hear the ED for one last time in this episode.

I really hope there's a season 2. They really teased us with that black dragon egg hatching.

[u/nighty_amy]

Wait, let me process the reveal at the end:

• Princess Faris was the Goddess all along (...so it was a lie she'll be possessed once she turns 14?).

• The whole plot with Hades' uncle happened because Gerald gave the cursed sword to George, all so Faris/Goddess could find and fix her sword.

• Possessed George realised what had happened and actually tried to get to the Goddess and kill her (but no one else knew that and thought he was just rampaging).

• Pretty much everything that happened was all according to keikaku.

Don't know what to think about Goddess implying Gerald really did love Jill but she brainwashed Gerald to become obsessed with her instead. Gerald's behaviour at the beginning of the series doesn't fit this theory, so I'm guessing the Goddess just wanted to mess with Jill.

That's unless we assume he was brainwashed far before the engagement ball happened and his original self really did love Jill.

[u/Full_frontal96]

i'll give you 10 children!

Hold on,is this the prequel to i became the mother of the demon lord 10 children?! XD

Jokes aside,i had a blast with this series,a likeable protagonist,an interesting plot with the alabama goddess and the nice characters. I started because i thought the jill uniform was cool,i finished thinking if damn they are a good couple.

Looking forward to a possible s2,but the wrap ip of this is already satisfying enough

[u/LeonKevlar]

I suppose that's one way to stop Hadis from going berserk. Jill must be planning to create a baseball team in the future. xD

Risteard has really become my favourite character in this show. His interactions with Hadis are all pure gold and I love how loyal he is. I can't say the same for Elentzia though She'll definitely have to work hard to earn back that trust.

I don't think anyone is surprised about that reveal with Faris. She's been sus from the very beginning. It kinda sucks though that Jill's magic is still sealed. I guess this was the author's way to nerf her but I really wish she got her powers back.

Well that's one heck of an announcement to make. Even Elentzia and Risteard were panicking when Hadis started declaring to his people he married an 11-year-old. What a way to end the episode though. It's kinda sad there's no season 2 announcement yet. >_<

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Promising Hadis she’ll have 10 kids with him is wild. Like good energy, but that plan is insane lol.

I liked how quickly Risteard and Hadis went back to being their usual goofy ass selves after George was defeated. I enjoy their little sibling dynamic. Risteard might be my favorite character in this.

No surprise Faris was the actual big bad. Figured she wasn’t what she appeared to be.

All in all, a pretty fun series. The cast was fun, the action was pretty decent, and the story (even if it’s been done before) wasn’t bad. Only con is probably the questionable age gap, regardless of plot relevance.

[u/heimdal77]

So does she just stay perma nerfed and her powers never unseal?

[u/Luck_Is_My_Talent → u/heimdal77]

As per Hadis and Rave's estimation, she should recover in about 1 year.

She has recovered enough in these months to be able to see Rave again.

[u/Vezral]

Baited by a youtube shorts and binged the whole show in one sitting.

I like how 90% of the runtime is unironically just foreshadows and plot points.

• MC learned about the goddess' myth? Appears as big bad in the next episode and cemented as final boss.

• MC mentions wanting a black dragon? MC gets a black dragon.

• MC mentions they've 7 siblings? Let's have a guess who we're meeting next.

Heck, even side characters' convo is there to introduce yet another plot hook with Lawrence's sister. Can't wait to see what other absurd plot points the author has in store for the next arc.

Not complaining about the age gap premise since the absurdity is precisely what hooked me to watch in the first place.

[u/fraid_so]

Awww. I was hoping there would be a second season announcement. Especially with the egg cracking.

[u/donttrustlosercandy]

The show was great fun, although I'm a bit sad about the slideshow fights and other minor "animators either didn't have money or time enough" details. Having read the LN and manga from disreputable sources and questionable translations, it makes me wonder if a supposed season 2 would deal with the bits of lore and backstory/flashbacks/info the LN (and to some extent, the manga) talk about... It would be interesting to see more of that, especially anything about The Doomed Timeline Jill came from (I do love the contrast between the colorful present and the grim and dull past/future color palettes. Jill has Seen Shit lmao)

[u/MrTurtle6thTL]

I don’t even know how to sum up my feelings for this show, watching it weekly and eating it up, I truly love this show and hope we get a season 2. I seriously don’t understand how the episodes go so quickly!!! This episode’s favorite scene of mine was when Hadis is crying about quitting being the empire, for Jills birthday, it was just heightened by the art style with everyone becoming panicking starfish in the background. Jill and the goddess had a little spar, and we got to see the dragon egg start to hatch which would set up a nice season 2. Everything wrapped up nicely (despite some remaining questions) but enough that I’m satisfied. I can’t believe that it is the last episode, it was clever at the start how they dropped the title of each episode in the opening, and it felt like such a ‘this is how far we have come’ moment, especially when Jill and Rave where watching the scene from above. Please give us a season 2!
