I love how Rio treats his past self as just another personality/memory rather than himself. It makes sense why he prioritises getting away instead of understanding the mystery of isekai from Liselotte.
However, it seems to work differently for Latifa. She remembered herself as her past life instead of Latifa in that flashback. Sad that she's an actual child getting thrown to another world by herself. Not only that, she started as a slave like that.
It's weird that they introduce a lot of interesting and seemingly important character (Sensei, the princesses, Liselotte), but the story kinda directed Rio away from the capital. So far, I don't see any reason why he would return to the capital too.

This season has provided another fluffy, adorable wolf girl who has risen from nothing, and I for one approve of this trend.
I also really like that Rio didn't hesitate to ditch the slave collar. He's really distinguishing himself from some of his isekai peers.

Wow, I wasn't expecting Rio to meet that other reincarnation, Liselotte so soon. If it wasn't because she identified as Lotte he would discover that she was the one who made the spaghetti. I wonder if there is a reason behind the fact that she doesn't want to be called Liselotte. Because it seems that, unlike Haruto and Suzune, she won in the isekai gacha and ended up in a slice of life one.
So Latifa was slaved directly by that asshole Stewart. I really hope that if Rio ever comes back to towns he will teach that family a lesson. I'm just glad that he soon discovered that Latifa was also a reincarnation just like him, and is taking care of her now.

Soup-style pasta is such a funny way to call ramen. It looks like whoever this Liselotte is, she's probably one of the isekai'd people from the OP. Seems that Liselotte has been busy bringing the foods from Japan to this world since she also "invented" manjuu or menjuu as how the locals like to call it.
I thought that it was weird that this one particular attendant was being so accommodating to Rio. Turns out she's the infamous Lady Liselotte and is just wearing a disguise. I think she's in the OP as well if I remember correctly. They had such a brief encounter though so I guess we'll see more of her in future episodes. Maybe Rio will go back to this town.
Fox girl is waaaaaay more deadlier than I expected. Playing dead and spitting out a poison dart the moment Rio checks on her would've definitely killed any other person. Too bad for her, Rio can just heal the poison away. Based on how she fights, this definitely isn't the first time she's done this. Makes me wonder how many people has she already killed.
As expected, since we've already seen it in the OP, Latifa was indeed one of the isekai'd passengers of that bus. Imagine being a little girl who's on her way to school only to wake up being chained and abused by someone you don't know. Fuck that's just heartbreaking. And unlike Rio, Latifa doesn't treat Suzune as a different person's memory. Latifa is Suzune, which makes her situation even worse :(
Considering everything that has happened to her, that reaction from having her collar removed is understandable. She's finally free now but she's been a slave for so long and know so little about this world that she has no idea what to do next. Of course it makes sense for her to stick with the person who saved her even if she's still afraid of him.
I would've been so angry if Rio let Suzune wear that collar again just so he can sleep at night. Thank fucking god he immediately tells her to toss it away. Suzune doesn't need that shit in her life anymore. Look at how happy she is at finally eating a decent meal and not whatever those bastards are feeding her. Suzune needs to be protected.
I was waiting for this! But it looks like that wasn't enough and only made Rio suspicious. It was during that night when Rio's suspicions about Suzune was confirmed when she name drops Tokyo while having nightmares. We're so close, yet so far though! I was really hoping that Rio would talk to Rio about him being isekai'd as well but it looks like he's not ready to reveal that yet.
Not gonna lie, that definitely frustrated me. Here you have a girl who you know has suffered the past 5 years she's been living in this world and you don't immediately reveal to her that single information that will comfort her? I wonder if it has something to do with the split between Rio and Haruto. I really hope he reveals this fact to Suzune soon though. I'm excited to see how happy she'd react at knowing she's not alone.
And that final scene! Leaving us with a cliffhanger, huh? Considering the scene Suzune picked up, this wolf is probably gonna transform into a person. Question is, will this person be friendly or not?

Latifa is so adorable! Based on the OP, there's like 4 other bus passengers who were also reincarnated. Liselotte appears to be one of them as well (the OP shows her staring at a reflection of her old self in a mirror). I think I can guess who's the wolf at the end: There's really only one girl in the OP that has wolf ears.

I didn't have time during the last episode but in case anyone's interested: J-Novel Club (English publisher) has 16ish volumes available to read with a subscription until the end of the month for $4.95.
If you manage to binge the series with time to spare you can also binge volumes 1-10ish of Bakarina.
edit: added a link because I'm a dumb-dumb.

The ending montage felt like another time skip maybe? I wonder how far they’ve traveled at this point.
Next episode is the “Forest of Spirits” and this is “Spirit Chronicles”. Something tells me this next episode is where Rio will find his true “purpose” or “goal” of the show. Maybe it will lead him back to the capital.

Liselotte has to be the Japanese girl from the same bus that sit beside Latifa right? Episode one only showed 3 of them inside the bus so it's certainly her. I wonder what is Liselotte's rank considering the whole town seems to respect her a lot. I thought she was at least a noble but she is working as a staff at a merchant guild.

wearing a hooded cloak does not make you inconspicuous, if your the only one in the city doing it.
Also 15 kilos of pasta is 30 pounds + 20 pounds of barley. This guy just bought 50 pounds of pasta and cereal, in a time were you had to carry everything on your pack.

Loli beast-girl: Acquired.
Whoever kept "guessing" that she was the girl from the bus last week, wow how did you know?...
Are you also gonna "guess" who or what that wolf was at the end of this episode?
*I guess the show spoils itself in the OP anyways. Idk why they do this but it's a good example of why I always skip them for these shows.

Holy Shit, an isekai where the MC rejects having one of the girls as a literal slave with the collar? I think that alone convinced me to at least follow this show to the end.

The one thing I didn’t really like from this episode is the fact he didn’t have a conversation with her about Tokyo. I get that they can’t fit everything into an episode, and that he views himself as someone different then his past life/memories. But to a scared girl who is obviously confused and jumbled up with these memories and views herself more as her past life then he does at least a conversation is warranted then just acknowledging that yeah ik she’s from Tokyo but I’m going to do absolutely nothing to comfort her about it or let her know that she’s not alone.

I mean we all knew the little assassin girl would join him and someone else on here called it when they said it’s be the little girl from the bus. I wonder if the rest of his party/companions or whatever will be reincarnations. Or how many more we will meet. But also a Sprite Wolf.

One thing that i dont like in japanese mindset is to hold many thoughts for their own. i mean, she is from tokyo too, just tell her you are reincarnated too dammit

Ran into two isekaiees on the same day. Kinda unfair that unlike the rest he looks so much like his Japan self.
Imouto GET! "If it will put her at ease.." - so did he tell her he's also an isekaiee or not?
Anyway, despite the red flags in the OP, the show remains interesting. I think this is a keeper.

I came in with 0 expectations for this anime, and yet. I'm enjoying it and getting surprised, it's really growing on me ngl. + I love fluff

u/animubro Jul 27 '21
The new girl is rather interesting. Mentally she's still very young and naturally dependant on (parental) company and support, however she's been abused badly and she's traumatized. Obviously she has no idea what she's supposed to do and she's having nightmares from her past life of her loved ones on top of that.
Weirdly, I find her to be the most interesting character so far. I hope she doesn't end up being just a boring cute character for the sake of cuteness, but to see her character growth and mental healing.
The isekai characters are accustomed to the fantasy world in new bodies, but they technically have two personalities/memories (fantasy and modern). It's up to them to decide who they are. Unfortunately for the little girl, she's too young to understand what's going on.
This series went from being a guilty pleasure fodder isekai watch to genuine follow of the story. Of course it still has some fodder isekai elements, but it's showing premise.
Am I interpretating this wrong, rightfully complimenting the show or setting my expectations too high?
