Ok so I finally watched the anime, thank you @Lex for the recommendation, and I have to say, it’s not all that bad. It doesn’t have any pacing issues, and generally keeps to the big bits of the story. My only issue is they kinda gloss over the whole Fever dream miharu thing and explaining spirit arts but, I don’t know if that’s knit picky of me.
(Fair warning, profanity inbound, apologies for the strong wording)
What I will say though is that the anime really reminds you that the Beltrum kingdom are a bunch of fun assholes, I was watching and could only think to myself “wow FUCK these people” and to think Haruto just saved them from sheer collapse. Now I’m here hoping that after the slumber party and short reprieve for our vengeance seeker, he just said to those people that he really doesn’t want anything to do with them, because I for sure wouldn’t piss on any of them if they were on fire in the side of the road (except Flora because she really did try her best, Christina also might get a pass, I haven’t calmed down enough yet).Personally, it feels like they are rushing it to me, especially if you compare it to some of the other series this season (like Realist Hero - we're a good portion of the way through vol.2 in five SG episodes, yet barely half way through vol.1 in the same for RH).
RH has its own issues though. >.>That isn't to say there are actually noticible pacing issues - the anime does seem to flow well enough, and I'd probably struggle to point out anything they have skipped that is particularly significant - it just feels like they are pushing through things way too quickly compared to what I am used to with anime adaptations of LNs.

Well feasibly speaking there are 16 volumes of content to get through for SG compared to 14 volumes of RH. While that doesn’t seem like to much, SG has a few areas where skipping things doesn’t really hurt the the story to much where as the first 5 volumes of RH really have a lot of important things (to me) that feel like it left out would make the story more confusing. That is not to say that they’re both perfect, the is a few flaws that I would like addressed, one being SG explaining a few more things and exploring character a little more, but I don’t expect that to be realistic for an anime.Also anyone else run into that feeling of being a picky connoisseur of anime because you read the LN’s? Like I feel like I enjoy anime less if I have read the LN first, one example was Arifurta. I really enjoyed the books but when it comes to the anime, I was just so uninterested that I couldn’t even finish it.

It might slow down a bit, and it might just be my own view of things, but that is how it feels to me - hence, 'rushed'.

To be fair, the Arifureta anime changed so much that it isn't really a good idea to try and compare the two. I actually saw the anime first, which then led me to pick up the novels, and I far prefer the novels - the anime adaptation was really poorly done, IMO.

Oh yeah, this is me. Nowadays I prefer reading rather than watching since I can get through more content instead of waiting for a week.
I made an exception for Seigensou because it's a high priority series for me. Like hell I'm going to miss its anime adaptation.
-
Hmmm, they jiggled a few scenes around in this episode, so I am actually not sure I enjoy it as much compared to how it was written in volume 3 (one of my favourite arcs strangely enough).
-
Here I was wondering how they could reach volume 5 with only 3 of the 12 episodes remaining and thankfully they decided not to rush through 2 volumes.
However with the amendment at the post credits of volume 9, it appears to suggest this anime will be a 1 season wonder and no more since we appear to be missing the entirety of volume 4 (a volume which would have needed at least 4 episodes to do correctly I think if it was to be multi season to lay the groundwork for the series post volume 7)So onwards to the Silver Bride Arc. Changes in episode 9, using rice cultivation was a mistake I thought, made it harder to justify Sayo tears compared to non water based agriculture. But that's only a small change. I also missed the Konoko interaction from volume 3 which I thought emphasised her cuteness factor. Kawaii is kawaii really
-
@custodes Hopefully if they have an other season, they will go back and do book 4 at the start of the next season, assuming the next 3 episodes cover book 5.
If that is the case it should not have much effect on the story.
-
It feels kind of odd to do things out of order but it makes sense, volume 5 will make for a much better climax for the season and even though Miharu and co were introduced in volume 4. All that really happened with them is that Rio moved them to the Spirit Folk village as fast as possible meaning we can save that book four for later. Hopefully we can get another season one day to properly adapt volume 4.
Actually I'm kinda curious how they would adapt that since now Celia would be travelling with Rio when he meets up Miharu's group, maybe that could lead to some new fun character interactions .
-
I feel like there were a lot more off-model bits this episodes...
...13 hours until v20! ....too bad it's published during work.
-
The madlads actually went and did it! They rearranged the events of Volumes 4 and 5! The events of the Silver Bride arc is going to happen first before a certain someone makes her appearance.
-
@albertrojas My speculation on Discord was that they'll leave half an episode after finishing volume 5 to show
Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.
-
@myskaros It certainly adds a wtf moment for the anime only viewers.
On another note, Kitayama's really fond of changing this part of the story. I must say that doing it this way makes the story flow better, so props to the animation team for actually going through the changes.
-
Well, based on the degradation of the art style, look at the faces of the background wives during the "wives meeting" I am fairly confident this will not get a season 2.
The good from the penultimate, I would have to say adorableness of Celia in her full splendour whilst being the silver bride. Though it is a shame the animators did not take the time to fill embellish the wedding dress to the same standard as that from the novel. The colour inset in volume 5 is probably my favourite from the series and that is after 20 volumes.But next week is the last episode. And I. Hoping the remainder of the budget has been pumped into it.
-
@custodes Insuspect the entire budget for the show was 1000yen.
I think this is the first episode that matches up well to the story in the LN or manga. Tho in the LN the princess told Celia to escape if she has a chance.
-
That was quite a way to rush a cliffhanger. Myskaros got it right, except being just a couple of minutes.
Well, I think I'm fine with the adaptation. Rio seemed to show more emotions on the anime than the usual potato face/wry smile dichotomy of the light novels.
And always happy to have more Celia!
-
The last bit was, how should I put it, compact.
Various things were out of sequence from the LN in the Season 1 adaptation, but the sequence within the anime still made sense; it flowed logically.
It'd be nice if another season were to be approved, to see how they further develop things.
It's clear Reiss is a Bad Guy, but he's a much more interesting Bad Guy than Charles Arbor and such; there's more to him than your usual corruption setting in over generations of inherited power that explains the various Nobles.

It was also handled differently. I don't remember the slave traders getting killed in the novel, or is my memory playing a trick on me?

They did end up getting offed, since they wouldn't back down.
It was more clear that he cleaned up after the fight prior to releasing Mii-chan, so that she didn't see the bodies or vast splashes of blood.
Just a lack of anyone around actively opposing what Rio was doing. -
