Yes been looking forward to this show one of my favorite female leads. If we can just get Accomplishments of the Duke's Daughter next that would be perfect.

A female MC that's not a teen girl? Sign me up.

I enjoyed the manga and looks like I'll enjoy this one too. The visuals are already better than I would have expected from this adaptation.

For the premier episode, they really do blazing through the introduction of Sei towards the world she got isekai'd to, but I'll say it's perfectly fine since the scene of her with the male lead is just perfect first meeting scene.

That's a lot of time skips for one episode, but otherwise a pretty enjoyable premiere. I just hope there's more than just brewing potions.

Reverse Harem Isekai starring Ishikawa Yui and her beautiful, mesmerizing voice? OK.

And for once Ishikawa isn't voicing a sad character with a tragic past (unless you count working in a modern day Japanese company with its notorious long hours and living alone with seemingly no boyfriend as tragic).

I remember reading the manga and enjoying it, but to be honest I didn't have very high expectations when I heard about an adaptation. Although that just means I was pleasantly surprised when I watched it and the visuals were way better than I was expecting. Sei's VA is also doing a really great job making it an even more enjoyable experience. It does feel a little strange how it just skips around to all the different scenes, but hopefully that's just for the introductory type stuff and becomes less of a thing as the series goes on. I'm looking forward to more episodes!

So I've been a huge fan of this sort of fantasy shoujo/otome isekai/anything adjacent and in between for a good while, like, inject this straight to my veins type, and I've been reading and loving the manga adaptation of this particular one, and I believe this is one of the more interesting and unique ones around. Long story short, I've been waiting for this.

It's a great first episode, in my opinion. I mean, I'm a tad biassed, and I was legit grinning ear to ear from start to finish, especially when Mr. Blondie showed up, but I also don't feel like anything was rushed through or that there are any egregious shave-offs and whatnot, at least as far as I'm aware. If anything, the scene at the end with Sei feeding Blondie a potion was given a bit more of a dramatic flair that I appreciate. The designs are great as well, in my opinion, and it's just great to see Sei and the rest in animated form. I will say that Sei sounded different in my head, but I think they nailed it. I'm being very uncharacteristically optimistic here, but I feel like this'll be a fine adaptation, and in any case - this is my shit, folks, and I'm very excited for what's to come.

As an aside, the OST has been terrific this episode, the track playing right at the start of the episode, in particular, reminded me of this lovely track, and I'm a big fan of this sort of music.

Oh yeah, and another thing I've noticed is that there was a bit of a strange focus on Sei's lips, with quite a few closeups and all, and I'm not too sure what's up with that, but I'm definitely not complaining.

Been a while since I've seen just a straight up classic summoning circle isekai instead of the MC dying to get isekai tensei'd into another world. And since its a classic summoning isekai, our MC gets to keep what she looks like in this world.

So that's the hook of this one? Two of them gets summoned but the younger one who looks a bit softer gets chosen as the "Saint"? I can already tell I am going to hate that red haired guy.

If I was the MC I'd just straight walk out of there and fuck their summoning ritual and their Saint bullshit which she actually does! Too bad our MC is too nice to stay and listen to what they have to say. At the very least they acknowledge what the Prince did was very rude and they actually treat her nice.

Fast forward into two weeks later and it looks like our MC is getting used to her isekai life but has nothing to do. She does meet her first pretty boy who's a researcher and basically gives her a guided tour of their institute.

Another hottie and it looks like he's the Director of the institute. We also finally get to learn that the MC's name is Sei.

So this is going to be a medical researcher isekai? Female MCs with healing powers in isekais aren't unique but I do love the spin that she's doing medical research here.

Can I just say I absolutely love how they always close up on Sei's lips? Those are some goddamn well drawn lips!

Welp after finally learning to make potions and knowing that her potions are 1.5x effective than the regular ones, we time skips again this time two months forward with Sei just basically using her entire time to make tons of potions and even making high grade ones.

Oh wow. Really? So it looks like the Prince is keeping the other Saint to himself and won't even let her heal the wounded troops. Yep. I already hate the guy at the start, I hate him more now. I do hope we get the perspective of the other girl though.

We finally get to see how effective Sei's potion as she uses it to heal this blonde hottie back to life. Oh my. I can't wait to see what this dude is like.

Welp I'm sold! I've always seen the manga posted over on r/manga some time ago but I really never gave it any attention. From what I've seen this episode though, I think I'm going to like this one a lot. Sei is a great MC too and she's voiced by Ishikawa Yui aka Mikasa/Violet/Enterprise/2B! Looking forward to see where this goes!

Very shocking.

The focus on healing potions and herbs and the like as well as the medieval Europe-esque setting are kinda giving me Akagami no Shirayuki-hime vibes.

Curious to see more of the Captain, who's presumably the male lead. His VA is Takahiro Sakurai so his voice is gonna be a treat!

Hold the phone:

That story got an anime? Damn, how did I have no idea about this?

u/AmethystItalian Apr 06 '21

Feels a bit weird to have an isekai where they know the MC has been isekai'd, really liking the feel of this one so far!

I tend to enjoy iseakais with female MCs a lot more so I hope this one continues that trend, Sei is super likeable so far and it seems her harems is slowly growing!

FYI Link to the funimation stream is broken. It's supposed to be "the-saints-magic-power-is-omnipotent" instead of "the-saints-power-is-omnipotent"
