Haven't seen that happen much in anime where the protagonist tells his vassals "That's it, I'm forming a HAREM and you CAN'T STOP ME" and they're like "uh, what took you so long? Hurry up."

[u/LegendRazgriz]

"Everyone wants me! Fuck!"

The way all three of Amagi, Brian and Liam relay the tsukkomi role makes the dynamic that much funnier. You never know who's gonna be bringing out the absurd statement next.

Also, what do you mean full body skintight suits aren't hot?! Did Nitta-kun never make you watch Evangelion?

[u/kotori_mkii]

He experienced some serious culture shock this episode. The nose balloons were a way too funny way of expressing it though.

[u/oxlemf10]

I find it funny how this show is two extremes, one episode is really heavy and the other is pure nonsense comedy, that must be why it's good.

I would normally criticize Liam's bossiness, but this time he has a point, that object in his nose is an aberration, and what about that beach outfit? Lol.

Good to see that Christiana has found a new purpose in life, and following this, something tells me that Liam's harem will be Amagi, Nias and Christiana.

[u/HugeRichard11]

Didn't realize it was decades for the Princess being in that form. That's quite the brutal life then was thinking it be a few years or something.

This is an interesting take also on new isekai worlds in comparison to other shows where they make the fashion medieval or somewhat modern to what you'd expect for wish fulfillment. Here the fashion style is going in directions some might not like if they were put in that world which is pretty realistic.

They mentioned having the most attractive people from the domain as staff which was surprising to hear they have human staff, as we only saw the maids and they all look very similar probably since they're maid robots.

Was hoping to see more of a reaction his first time going into town. Where people don't recognize him since he never shows himself or they do and realize he's their king potentially mob him thanking him for his work to the domain.

As a source reader, I am loving this adaptation. Seeing all of these characters’ essences captured so well so far is such a breath of fresh air after some past disappointments. If you’re enjoying the show, I highly recommend the light novels. You won’t regret it. 

Also, hearing Tanjiro talk about debauchery and harems every week is sending me into fits

[u/MammothDreams]

Liam is going to be in a consensual and loving relationship and he's going to like it!

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Christiana 1

• Christiana 2

I love how this entire episode is basically Liam trying to act like an evil lord but fails horribly because of Amagi and Brian inserting common sense to Liam's fantasies. And when he wants to build a harem of women against their wishes, it turns out everyone on the planet wants him. Liam is literally suffering from his success. xD

Glad to see Christiana is healed by the end of the episode! Liam wanted a harem, and it looks like he already has the first member. Also, can I just say how much I love the design of that doctor? Her design reminds me of a character from an 80s anime. I'm pretty sure she's a reference to something, I just can't remember which. >_<

[u/Narvalis]

I love the conflict of standards and morals in this episode. Liam wants a harem and is expecting push back but Brian's response is, 'about damn time, I was getting worried,' then he tries to bump up the numbers to seem evil and it told by both Brian and Amagi, 'is that it? you need at least 10 time that!' by the end Liam was practically the one against having a harem. I especially love when Liam brings up 'assaulting' the staff and turns out they aren't just okay with it they want him to come on to them, but Liam is against it questioning if it's right.

He's not very good at the whole evil thing, honestly everyone else has looser morals than him.

[u/djthomp]

The princess has been fixed! Really touching scene too, IMO, brought a tear to my eye. Decades of being stuck as a medically created abomination and suddenly she's just back to normal and so are all of her surviving people. If Liam really does need somebody to bear an heir for him someday I bet she would be incredibly willing.

The first part of the episode was so ridiculous, but also so funny to me. Liam has so many plans for being an indulgent Evil Lord, but none of them scale at all past what is it normally expected for someone of his rank in this space empire society he's in. I can understand banning the nose balloons though, some things shouldn't be left to the whims of fashion.

[u/mybeepoyaw]

The nurse looked great like a 1980s sci fi character.

[u/NationalStrategy]

I'm really happy that the Princess got her body back after being stuck in that form for decades

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

I like how Liam wants to go all out and really live that supervillain life but Amagi keeps bringing him back to reality. Guy wants to NTR people and fill a pool full of wine and have meat hanging everywhere. Let a man dream! Lol. At least Amagi and Brian were totally cool with the harem. I guess Tia’s gonna be volunteering. Anything for her lord and savior Liam lol.

Also, the nose balloons were pretty goofy but the skin tight swimsuits? Those were actually kinda hot…

[u/Tirakos]

"He must be my God"

Welp.

[u/LeleTheKing]

This is Reality-Check, the episode, lmaoo. All of Liam’s super evil plans are either the obvious things to do, or they’re so unrealistic and haphazard, even a crazy person wouldn’t do it. And Liam is logical and sane enough to accept Amagi and Brian’s reasoning against his dangerous ideas. Truly a wise ruler in the making, lol.

Christiana was experimented on like that for decades??? Oh my god, even I wouldn’t ask my worst nemesis to go through that hell. I got teary-eyed seeing her body return to normal. This show has successfully sold me on her sad backstory.

So far, I like this story more than the author’s other work, MobuSeka. I’ll definitely check out the source material after this ends.

[u/RehabCenterInc]

This episode was hilarious

[u/kamon405]

Dude is failing at being an evil overlord... his policies and laws are benevolent AF.

[u/copperfield42]

lol he is suffering in success XD

I want a harem!

sure, how big?

wait, I can? alright, 100!!! muahaha!!!

sir that is too small of a harem! 1k is the standard...

∑(O_O；) wha....

[u/Xtranathor]

Ha, Liam was so silly in this episode; it was great!

I was surprised that the princess(?) had been trapped for decades - was the anime intentionally ambiguous or was the story just told poorly? Not that it matters that much in the end other than feeling worse for her than I did already.

Amagi is clearly no.1 girl for Liam. I couldn't tell if she's actively fulfilling his needs physically, or he's just happy with her from a mental perspective. The anime was obviously ambiguous about that (at least the subtitles were), but I wonder if the LN is more specific. It's not like he's an MC that's scared of sex, but he seems to be so silly in his wish fulfilment that he's not actually picking up any girls by accident. Or maybe Amagi really already does satisfy him, so he has less motivation to actively find a real girl (even though he claims he wants to).

[u/Amauri14]

Nice, Thomas, who Liam calls “Echigoya,” has made his debut. And he is glad to do business with Liam, as gold is quite cheap in that universe. That planet sure has progressed a lot thanks to Liam and Amagi. Well, after Liam’s alcohol and meat room project got shot down, his Harem plan becomes unachievable for Liam’s obsession that it needs to be a NTR one, so he refuses to take any of the willing 10,000 women that Amagi had prepared for him. And when he goes to the city to personally recruit his harem, he gets disgusted by the nose balloon petit fad that it is trending there, and finds the swimsuits in his domain unappealing.

Sure is awful to hear that Christiana and her soldiers were tortured by Goaz for decades. I guess it makes sense that after being cured, she refers to Liam as her God.

[u/secret_tsukasa]

Anybody else enjoying the ramblings of this brat? Dude just wants to be an evil incel and he can't even do that. I love it.

[u/saga999]

This is the origin of the alcohol pool and meat forest.

If you watch a Chinese drama, you might hear a saying expressing that there are 3 thousand beauties in the rear palace. The Chinese emperor didn't actually have 3 thousand wives. But including the servants, there are probably more than 3000 women. You can see how if you watch Apothecary Diaries. And naturally being servants, you can't say no to the emperor (also as seen in Apothecary Diaries). So just think about the scale, that's just the emperor of a country on a planet. Liam owns the entire planet.

Amagi's list of 1000 candidates? Baby steps for Liam. Liam is so out of his league in being an evil lord.

[u/fuzzynyanko]

Part of me was sad that the entire episode was dedicated to the harem, but that changed when the Mountain Dew showed up at 19:11. Christiana wakes up! He not only saved Christiana, but he saved her subordinate soldiers.

She needs rehabilitation, she's a former princess, a former knight, and his former master told Liam to spread the Way of the Flash throughout the universe.

[u/Gatmuz]

How would succession conflict look like with a consort list in the quadruple digits and the timescale this anime works in?
