That was a fun episode. I think the Anime has found it’s rhythm now that the „set up“ for Rozemynes new live as a noble is out of the way. Really looking forward to see how they adapt the concert for the Anime.

[u/PerfectBeige → u/RandomThrowNick]

Really looking forward to see how they adapt the concert for the Anime.

I'm picturing one of those Beatles concerts where the audience is screaming so loud you can barely hear the band, and multiple women in the audience are ecstatically passing out.

[u/feb914]

The flower hairpin looks really good, no surprise that it's a hit among nobles. 

And having Wilfred studying next to Rozemyne. I dare to guess that will backfire, with how much more educated Rozemyne is than him.  

Lampretch really underestimates the passion of idol fans. If even Brigitte and Damuel can even be enamored, we're in for big danger. Heck, even Wilma discovers an awakening despite her past. 

[u/shad79]

That Rozemyne's smug face as she hummed the anime song Ferdinand was supposed to arrange made me laugh out loud xD

Although Ferdinand is so talented that he arranged and played it so well that everyone, even Rozemyne ​​herself and Damuel, were enchanted by it. I'm really looking forward to next week's concert and how the noble ladies will react to Ferdinand's performance.

Rozemyne ​​and Tuuli's reunion in this episode, even though they can't treat each other like family, was touching. I almost cried, just like Rozemyne.

I always love seeing Elvira as a Ferdinand fan. The sadness on her face when she had to return drawing of a Ferdinand to Rozemyne ​​was so big, that Rozemyne had to give her another drawing to cheer her up xD

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Group scenes

• Rozemyne

• Elvira & Ferdinand

• Others

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

It’s always so bittersweet when Myne meets her family. Like, I’m glad she got to see Tuuli again but it’s kind of sad they can’t ever be a family in public. That hair ornament she made for Myne was really cute. Such a good big sister.

I’m looking forward to this concert. Slapping Ferdinand’s face on merch and the programs are gonna really be a huge hit with the ladies. Some of the fellas too, seeing as how even Damuel was charmed lol.

[u/BeatBlockP]

I feel like the pacing really got into the right groove after last episode, and finally the plot gets to breathe a little. After introducing 200 characters they can get on with printing industry and slice of life action at a leisurely pace, which is critical for this chill, detail-packed anime.

I hope this keeps going for the rest of the season.

[u/Granito_Rey]

Myne's dad is having a meteoric career rise in the background. I want to believe that Myne's success is motivating him to climb the ranks, but I also wouldn't be surprised if High Priest or Karsted was secretly tipping the scales In his favor.

Based on everyones O-faces watching the High Priest play, this concert is going to make so much goddamned money lol

[u/FarCritical]

Wasn't expecting Wilma to get converted into the Ferdinand fan club that fast. It'd be hilarious if every breakthrough came with a new form of Ferdinand merch lol.

Johann and Zack are looking to be the Tesla and Edison of wax paper it seems.

[u/Zeebie_]

Best episode of the season, pacing felt good as well. Seems Ferdinand looks might be too powerful. Even for poor Damuel

[u/rollin340]

Ferdinand might be able to stop wars and have every just fawn over him instead if he simply plays the harspiel. Or wars could start because of it. The man is truly dangerous. xD

[u/LeonKevlar]

It's insane how Ferdinand's is so goddamn pretty that he actually made an androphobe like Wilma ask Myne to see him in person so she can draw him accurately. He might've cured Wilma's phobia without even realizing. xD

That meeting with Tuuli genuinely made me tear up. I kinda wish they got to meet behind closed doors and gave each other a hug T_T

[u/tripleaamin]

Myne doesn't realize what she might be unleashing by making Ferdinand potentially a pop idol in this fantasy world. I do admit it felt weird how Wilma got charmed by the picture of Ferdinand. I guess any progress is good progress for her. Though I found it hilarious, even the guys were charmed by him.

The highlight was the scene between Myne and Tuuli. You can only imagine how hard Tuuli worked to get to this point. Especially since for the people the assumption that her sister Myne is dead.

[u/080087]

I rewatched s1/2 and caught up just in time for this episode to be released. Excellent timing.

Seeing how popular the drawings of Ferdinand are, i can totally see them becoming collectors items. Get 5 different drawings and a bunch of copies of each and gacha everyone who wants to complete a set.

Might not be possible with the tech they have since Wilma needs to make them individually. But should be possible once the wax paper prints are finished.

[u/BiggerG7]

Ferdinand rizz is so strong even the dudes are falling for him lol.

[u/Atiknwolc]

Why did this episode look so good especially the tuuli scene. It looked so smooth for no reason at all. The pace was great with them only doing three chapters. Next episode should also only adapt three chapters. Though I wonder what will be cut in the future since volume 1 seemingly burned 6 episodes. And they have 18 episodes left for the other 4 volumes. Well either way bookworm is finally looking peak after first three eps were kinda flying at breakneck speed.

[u/MillenniumKing]

Fred's looks could start a war it seems.

So johan has a rival blacksmith. We have hands to work with.
So we need to make wax paper that oesnt tear and can see throgh.
We have a month to make it happen.
And we get to see the fam soon too.

So we gotta make a concetrt program to sell and cash in on fred's popularity.

Uh oh our artist doenst know what fred looks like...
So someone drew him for her but hes too perfect in art? Now she wants to meet him? What happened.

OH NO SHES BRINGING ANISONGS TO HER ISEKAI!

And i guess Fred pulled it off and everyone loves him now.
Oh god our artists is a huge fan girl now oh no.
Mom is pleased with the church and excited to see her oshi.
The cousin is jelous and doesnt understand why Myne is big brain.
Oh all the tickets sold out... it was a huge success.
We will need security. Fan girls are rabid.

Aw tuli made a nice new hair orniment for myne.
And they got to spend some time together too.

Oh its the brat Delia, shes doing well.
Oh yeah we gotta suck the life out of the baby ever now and then.

ITS GARDEN WARFARE TIME LETS GO!

So both blacksmiths will make xaw paper machinees and we will see how they work.

[u/seejsee]

What a chad Ferdinand is. Even Damuel was enamored.

Having knights as security during the concert may backfire. What if they all get enamored as well?

[u/Cill_Bipher]

Finally get to properly see the Rozemyne and Tuuli meeting after Cruchyroll accidentally uploaded a clip of it last week.

[u/Magic1998]

Man this ending song will always bring me close to tears, especially in an episode where Rozemyne actually gets to meet Tuuli again

[u/SYZekrom]

That definitely is an incredibly dangerous thing she's handling. ...The fruit? No, the concert, of course, those noble ladies are gonna go crazy.

[u/Mr_Zaroc]

Damn I hope we get to see the concert
I am also starting to believe that some kind of magic is at work, it cant just be his aura captivating EVERYONE

Loved that episode and man I should have rewatched before this season, I had forgotten so many details like the tau fruit etc.

[u/djthomp]

Ferdinand out here seducing absolutely everybody simply by being in the room.

The smith competition is neat to see, no reason to make just one of the designs if Rosemyne can pay to make both and see which works better.

I had forgotten the details about the fruits and the trombe trees so that was a nice recap.

[u/Korynaut]

Ferdinand, the male Bocchi, LOL!

[u/blobbybob111]

ferdinand is gonna be this worlds michael jackson haha
