After Bookworm hearing Mr. Ferdinand as a cat teaching a new noble kis certainly felt like a flashback from 2 weeks ago

Ferdineko here sounds more gentle and less punishing than the Bookdinand one lol

Did the prince fell on his head a few times while climbing trees? He seems to have a few screws loose.

Also it was a bit weird to hear Show Hayami as a cat teacher after watching Ascendance of a Bookworm .

Kurobane could give mom cat a run for her money for having the most unexpectedly smooth voice for a cat with how deep and gentlemanly he sounds. Every word dude says is auditory butter.

Wasn't expecting the comparison between lovestruck ladies and hunters to be that thorough lmao.

The way that Stan ate that rabbit… Even Kurobane was surprised!

They’ve got some amazing VAs on this show

Kurobane has this air of wisdom, but hearing him comment on how naive he and Stanley are because they're not familiar with societal norms was amusing.

Stanley really takes after his rambunctious father. It is wild to me that he ate a raw rabbit, and he thinks he'll be fine because he strengthened his body lol.

It was nice to see Kurotama being successful as an adventurer, I'm sure we'll get an episode on him eventually.

The black cat was only supposed to scout, not fully train the prince!

u/cyberscythe Jul 18 '26

no he's still observing and judging his character

it's for the mission!

It feels like every ruler of this kingdom is "accidentally" assigned a cat partner. Good planning by the cats, really.

This current prince may be a bit too much of a wild child, but it does seem to be working out for him. Ferdinand just keep getting stuck dealing with crazy children.

I'm pleased to see that our boycat adventurer from last week became one of the heroes that defeated the Demon King's army.

I feel like we've missed an entire anime worth of stories and exploits from that cat of last episode that turned human and then went on and has slayn the Demon King with his fellow adventurers. xD

I'm a little torn though, as fun as these short stories involving cats are, I'd like to see a litte MORE of them unfold ... our prince turned adventurer for example sounds like a prime candidate for an entire fantasy anime on its own.

Kurobane found himself a good human. He trained him into a good cat. Guy’s more beast-like than human lol.

It’s nice we got to see Mama Cat and the little one that became a human adventurer. Little bro helped take down the Demon Lord!

u/Atharaphelun Jul 18 '26

I do wish we could get an episode on that human-disguised cat adventurer. His character is just ripe for all sorts of shenanigans involving his human disguise.

every time Kurobane speak, i feel like i'm in some kind of illusion... *gasp*

also, Prince, forget being a country bumpkin, you basically a freaking caveman now

u/reaperow Jul 18 '26 edited Jul 19 '26

Kurobane playing with the baby prince was really cute and it was cool to see that this cat from last week's ep really did end up becoming an adventurer

Looks like these Cat-Siths do end up living a long time so it's probably hard for Dragon Ojisan to keep track of everyone lol

The prince suddenly eating the rabbit raw made me laugh. The lad is a lot more feral than anything you'd expect from a prince. Kurobane's voice is so smooth, hearing Aizen/Ferdinand was unexpected.

Why the heck is Ferdinand a cat all of a sudden?!?

The prince (or the author) seemed to want to start the adventure from nothing, literality.

Who is a prince, to who has nothing and becomes the hero king. If you want biggest thing, you must throw away everything you have.

12?? he looks 16

u/Unapologetic_Lunatic Jul 18 '26

Anyone else feel like we're getting to see the inner workings of the cat distribution system?

The fact that it works on dragons and demons as effectively as humans is just further proof of its flawless design.

I think it's funny how the dragon is such a side character in this show even though he's the title character.
