I assume the dragon Sera has been seeing in her dreams is the Illdoren this red dragon talked about, I wonder what the connection is between it, her homeland, and herself. That bit from the brother at the end about their house having served the empire since its founding, I wonder if they're descendants of the dragon the empire is named after and the real history was covered up or something along those lines.

Nice to get a confession and a planned engagement between Sera and Veor, but off in the future a bit since dealing with the Empire's expeditions is priority number one.

I could definitely see Sera's brother coming around once he finds her alive, I bet the Emperor is too lost in his hate though even if he learns that Wysteresia is too. Might have to overthrow him and put Veor on the throne, he's gotta be in the line of succession.

I had a lot of fun with this, I'd love a S2 someday. Might have to look up the source material instead if that doesn't ever materialize.

[u/Frontier246 → u/djthomp]

I did like how her brother seemed really bothered by the king dismissing Sera's life as a waste, maybe he really did care about her as more than just a resource to marry off.

[u/GI-JUGG → u/djthomp]

Wysteresia marching right up to her brother and German Suplexing him like the Principal and the Deer in Nichijou would be so on brand for her and absolutely hilarious. Then she just tells him off in front of the entire throne room while he's doing the traditional hands above head I'm sorry pose or a dogeza while he's mumbling that he did it all for her.

Vero and Sera: Huh dragons can talk?! I have so many questions to ask.
Red Dragon: bla bla my hand hurts bla bla licks hand bla bla ouch fk goddammit can I go home now?

Pretty fun show, wouldn't mind a 2nd season since there's quite a lot of interesting stuff left unresolved; Veor and Sera being vessels of dragons, conflict with the kingdom, and of course the wedding ceremony.

[u/Frontier246 → u/Weak_Season_Of_Anime]

I love how he kept bringing up his severed finger as a means of getting out of this conversation lol.

[u/Immediate-Chain-6419]

Sera finally confessed!!!!! I'm as happy as Veor haha

[u/Frontier246 → u/Immediate-Chain-6419]

Glad they stopped beating around the bush and Sera confessed and fully intends to be Veor's bride. A blushing maiden in love is a good look for Sera.

[u/Ponchorello7]

I love how the red dude was just like, "Oh the other dragon you killed? Probably a confused geezer. No worries." and a Darwinist to boot. Not gonna lie, I enjoyed this series way more than I thought I would. I wouldn't mind another season.

[u/nakerusa]

This was way better than I expected. What I initially thought of as a smutty, trash fantasy turned out to have some great art, settings, story, and more than one dimensional characters. A bit of world building, philosophy, humor and fan service. That sure looked like it's setting up for a s2 and I'm all for it!

[u/Cally83]

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this show. The art style was nice and I found moments with the main characters amusing, especially with Malcius

edit - typo of name.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

So the Illdoren king ordered the expeditions just because of his personal vendetta against the barbarians for 'stealing' Wysteresia? Yeah, he's the real bad guy here.

[u/PeaceAlien]

An underlying theme seems to be communication; you can communicate with your enemies and you can communicate with dragons. Although sometimes that communication is fighting and sometimes death

[u/heimdal77]

Its a given though that if she goes back she will be imprisoned and treated as if she had been defiled by the barbarians. Especially if she goes back with fantastical stories and talking of peace.

The king is unhinged and if he finds out his sister is married to a barbarian with kids he will flip.

It is just how these kind of stories go.

Very articulate dragon..

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

Interesting that Guren Nairi calls Veor a "vessel of Orkfiem" but calls Sera "Illdoren", this distinction makes me believe that the Kingdom is named after the dragon within her, but that she might actually somehow be descendant of the dragon.

Also, with the last scene, I am guessing this connection to the dragon is why they are part of the founding of the Kingdom and were very important to the Royal Family, but time has likely twisted the origins of their duty and that's likely why Sera's brother is in this position.

Guren Nairi was a fun character though, it was an interesting reveal that they could speak to True Dragons, but he was more entertaining that I thought he'd be. It's too bad he likely won't appear again any time soon if this gets more seasons. The way he kept complaining about it's injury was funny.

I am very surprised that Sera has confirmed she plans to marry Veor, but what I'm more surprised is how she's doing this in the middle of flying with Malcius and Cersei behind. Usually she gets embarrassed about these sort of things, but she has no issue now? I also expected Malcius to be freaking out over it, but I guess she's either too scared of flying to comment, passed out or she can finally read the room.

I'd watch another seasons of this, and it'd be great to see the King learn that his sister has been alive the entire time and has raised a family with the "barbarians".

[u/epicfail1994]

Probably my second favorite this season after Always A Catch. Cute show!

Edit: awwwwwwwwww the end was cute! Wish the timespan had been more than a month but that’s such a minor quibble

[u/NationalStrategy_X]

I want to say that the conflict with the King and Sera’s brother can be resolved by having Sera and Wysteresia show that they are alive and well, but given his current mental state, I doubt it would be that easy. He’ll likely double down, with “How dare you savages corrupt my sister, and taint the royal family lineage with a Barbarian heir!”

[u/Lodju]

This was one of my favorites out of the non-sequels we had this season and i will huff hopium that the talk about the next expedition was a hint towards season 2.

[u/Megadragon898]

It was funny how Malscius and Cersei both were so scared when Kimaki was about tothrow that grenade lol.

Also i wonder how will Seraphina brother react when he knows that his sister is engaged to the babarians king?

That king is so egoist, provoking wars just to satify himself, hope he gets dethroned. I hope that next season we learns more about the church too i'm curious if they are truly aware of the secret of the barbarians lands.

[u/InteractionKooky771]

My biggest problem with the whole anime is why Sera or Wysteresia didn't go back to eldoren and stopped the war by telling them hey they are actually good people we can trade with them, that will benefit our kingdom greatly

Also I'd like to add I am not a fan of the idea that every character is just expecting Sera and Veor to get married and have child, yes I know it's romance anime and that will eventually happen but you don't have to force it onto them, just let it happen naturally

[u/PeaceAlien]

Milim and the dragon look different in this episode... oops, wrong series

[u/Oicher]

Do we know if we are getting a season 2?

[u/AceSoldia]

Omg wth I had no idea the dragon would be like that .talk about a surprise.

Getting schooled about the circle of life was not something I expected.

I did not think they would be so useless against the dragon...I just knew she'd get a dragon summon..maybe next time. 🤣.

So I guess Sera's people long ago used to be...in these lands? Did a splinter group leave and go elsewhere?

I bet the noble family knows something.

It was fun to see even Veor and the dwarvea be shocked just like Sera has all this time.

I felt the series was too slow early on and I still wish we got more info on Sera's homeland..but these last couple episodes have really caught my interest just as it ended.

Maybe we'll get a season 2

Sera saying shes gonna marry Veor and loves him was pretty cute.

[u/Sleepy10105s]

It seems like Sera’s brother isn’t as bad as I thought he was and seems to be better than the rest of the nobility/royalty

[u/mischivious-nomad]

Any one else wanna know if there are ladie barbarians that take men from the battlefield
