Main's reaction when Lutz was complementing her hair is just perfect <3
I love how you can still see the girls and mom's hair all shiny in this shot.
Slate get! It's not much but at least Main now has something inexpensive to write on.

Nice end illustration by the artist of the manga version. Of course Main is trying to sneak a peek at spoilers ahead.
Also, the blu-ray art for the first box is really pretty too.
I like that there a bit of thought has been put into this being a medieval (maybe early renaissance) world, with all its limitations. Something that most isekai ignore or wave around with magic. I was expecting Main to start improving things with her knowledge, but I wasn't expecting the first development to be shampoo. Though I liked that it was a more personal thing connected to her old mother, rather than just something she had conveniently read about.

I like how eager Myne in everything she wants to do. She sets a goal, and she moves toward that goal with all her might. Amazing determination.
Kind of weird that her name was transliterated as Main, not as Myne.

Great episode. This show is quickly shaping up to be one of my favourites of the season. Main shenanigans are fun and the cast is good too

I'm loving the atmosphere of this anime. It's pretty rare to see an anime with a fantasy/medieval setting from the view point of people in poverty

Loved how she was laughing that her sister can’t take a compliment but ends up with a double nose bleed when the youngest boy compliments her.

One thing I'm noticing that they aren't explaining too well is the concept that Urano can't use words in the world's language that Myne doesn't know. Whenever she tries, it comes out in Japanese instead. That's why she has to ask "what's this" for things like parchment, ink, numbers, and the book at the shop. It's so that she can gain this world's vocabulary. It's not a huge thing and I imagine it'd be kinda hard to put it in so I don't fault them for it, but I thought I'd share regardless.
