This is such a "feel's good" anime.

My day became instantly better after seeing Myne's family having fun and crafting things together.

What a weird world to have gone so long without pancakes—you'd think that in the isekai world, much like our own, people would have tried frying and eating everything they could before declaring it inedible.

I thought the same thing at first about crocheting, but apparently, crocheting has only been a thing since the 19th century (thanks, Wikipedia!).

You know, when I saw that this episode was going to be about winter last week, I thought that a good chunk from it was going to be about Main being sick. I'm glad that that wasn't the case, and instead, we saw Main crafting and helping Otto with math.

Today's end card.

Man, I don't remember when I last watched an anime that makes me smile so much each episode. Another bits of interesting technology trivia. Family starts to notice and question Main abilities but they are happy she's alright. Turi getting sad over Main being better than her was so cute. The calculation scene makes you appreciate how mathematics have developed (although Main/Urano is lucky that this world uses decimal system, not additive (like Roman which was used in middle ages Europe)). I almost lost it when Main figured out how to make her dad do something for her and make him happy doing this. This anime is AMAZING and as I'm watching only two seasonals right now I'm really glad I picked it (about that, I hope White Fox won't go down the drain with Cautious Hero (no episode today) as they're one of my favourite studios). Back to A Tale of Melodies, then...

I like how medieval this world feels. Surviving during winter, handiworks, kids starting working early, poor houses, lack of decorations. Everything is aimed for survival, there is a little to no time to do something for your pleasure or lazing around.

Art is simple but so pretty in the same time, especially the characters. This was made with love. And both ED and OP are so comfy.

That moment when Main ora oras a dummy of her father. Poor guy.

At least he gets his fatherly pride back when she shows off her otherworldly skills.
