On another note - can we talk about the bracelets?!?!
Both the [healing] bracelet used by Ferdinand earlier and the ordonnanz [bird message] bracelet used in this episode…is there ANY support for these in the LNs?? Why would Ferdi need a one?? And the ordonnanz needs to be able to reform into the bird, so it cant really be “set” in a bracelet…right?
Granted i love the idea of being able to carry an ordonnanz on a bracelet instead of in a little cage (like everyone does), but i dont think that should work…
In the LN, she is using a ring to carry the ordonnanz. We don't see how it's carried in the Manga.
@LurkingMcLurk It was another post much later but this one will do (as it describes Quof's reasonning to use "My Lady" instead of "Princess").
technically accurate as far as translation is concern but may be confusing to westerners who's concept of princess is exclusive to "Daughter of the Sovereign" -

We are still on episode 4 and no information on the ingredient gathering -_-.
At this point, I'm expecting that there will be no medical examination, and the jureve plan will get revealed just prior to the autumn festival travel.
The magic practice arena looks like a 1950s school gymnasium. Really weird is the row of load bearing windows 2/3 of the way up. EDIT TO ADD: And they have mezzanine floors inside. That makes it rather a questionable place to have someone try flying a highbeast for the very first time.
Rozemyne and Ferdinand start their war of weaponizing Rihyarda against each other.
We see that when people exit a magic room, they un-fade from black, with no view into the room from outside. This is a nice little detail.
In the workshop, we see the wall is closely fitted stones. This doesn't make sense, as it is a wall made with entwicklen magic. It would only look like this if someone went to extra effort to intentionally design it to do so.

And so episode 5 has arrived where we got introduced to Zack.
We also got a out of sequence appearance of Delia and Dirk. (wasent the trombe hunt supposed to have happened in episode 4?)
Elvira and Lamprecht attacks... to get pictures of Ferdi and sweets...
Finally Tuuli gets introduced to Lady Rozemyne (who is not her "dead" sister, no sir).Next week: Wax Stencils and the arrival of Lessy... Oh yes the Concert (where many woman will faint and where illicit pictures will be sold for a lot of cash).

I was surprised that the chibi at the end mentions getting a schtappe in the "garden of beginnings".

pre-seeding for the future so less info dump then maybe?

Episode 6:
Paper waxing worked first time --- no extended experimentation to get the wax mix right. This is pretty much expected, they'll cut such details to save time.
They took a slightly different path of inspiration to reach Lessy. I'm guessing that even mentioning the catbus was considered a risk of copyright infringement.
They haven't named Lessy! Or even explained what animal it is based on. (Ferdinand's demand that the tail be shortened was included. I'd thought this might be cut.)
Is Lady Christine in the crowd? We don't have a character design for her, so she could be anyone we don't recognize. Logically, she should be there.
We got two actual songs! One of which is supposedly the children's-anime-theme one. Does it use the theme of an actual children's anime?
We've taken six episodes to reach the end of volume 1. This extrapolates to 30 episodes to complete part 3.
We've skipped one week already, so a maximum of 25 episodes for two coers. (Did I get that term right?) So: are we going to accelerate from here on to finish four more volumes in 18 or fewer episodes, or will we get another season to finish part 3? (Unfortunately, I suspect the former.)
