@hiroto I think its because the way the narrative is from Mayne and High Priest point of view. so it more like Mayne telling a story to High Priest, There is also because the current world resemble the Past Era of Urano's original world timeline, which can translate into "given enough time" their two world will be no different from one and another (in books availability context).

If they do her eyes when she's angry well, they'll make good gifs

I wonder if that footnote is indicative of how it's going to explain certain concepts or works later on. like, for example, the different trials she does

I've kinda been reading that a lot of people have an issue with the drawing of the characters for this series. While everyone is entitled to their own opinion I don't find this to be an issue. It would seem that the anime style is more reflective with the actual illustrations in the light novels and not so much the manga. While I will admit that the artwork in the manga is extremely good, I feel that going with a style that is closer to the light novel gives this anime a more rustic feel, and in a good way. The quality is not bad, it's actually quite good in my opinion and since this is a middle ages type of setting i'm liking how they went with an art style that is closer to the light novel vs the manga. But again, this is just my opinion.
-
To be honest I didn't find the first episode all that interesting, I'm hoping it picks up for me once Myne actually starts doing things.
-
@eternal-wanderer It will. Don't worry.
-
@eternal-wanderer that was me when I first started reading the novel but it should be the same with the anime in some way
I should start watching this once there's at least 3-5 episodes up
-
It's better than what the PV showed, but I feel like the anime format doesn't really add anything to the story, and actually doesn't fit it well.
I think I'm just going to wait for the GIF of Myne going "Bhuw" rather than seeing the whole thing. -
I just realize now that it was voiced "Otto-san" as in
Ottooverlap with "o-To-san" as inDad
something that hard to translate in the LN or Manga. -
Really liking the flow of the story here. It's sticking pretty close to the main story while paying attention to some of the side parts, but not spending an overly large amount of time on things that don't need to have time spent on them. I hope that everything keeps turning out well with this one as I really enjoy it.

Okay I enjoyed this weeks episode a lot more than last weeks. However how did the subs go from calling Myne Myne to calling her Main. I can forgive some name inconsistencies somewhat because different people are translating the anime but in this case you can clearly hear other characters calling her Myne.
-
@eternal-wanderer Yeah, I thought this week's episode was better as well, although the story feels a little rushed compared to the books. As for the naming, the inconsistency is stupid but it is a valid way to try and spell her name. It's English's fault for its wacky spelling system, even "Myne" could be conceivably pronounced different ways. But really, yeah, I do think it would be better to stick with the spelling that's already been established through JNC's official translations of the light novel and manga.

I think it's because how the anime depicts how her name is written in that world, it looks closer to "MAIN" in English, so they wanted to make that connection clearer?
I still think it's unnecessary and will only confuse viewers in a different way.
-
@stardf29 It is also depicted in the LN and manga as Main written upside down in roman script. Iirc the translation was changed to Myne early on in the manga adaptation at the request of the author.

Now whenever I read the part of Myne’s inner thoughts, I cannot help having that miniature Myne popping up in my head.

Yeah me too and I don't know since when but I already imagined Iguchi Yuka voice whenever I read Myne dialog.
-
I honestly don't care what her name looks like in whatever fantasy language the story is using. The characters in shoe are clearly saying Myne.

I am liking this anime a lot more than I thought I would (I was perfectly satisfied with the light novel). I enjoy the voices, the art direction, and the story is working so far even with all the cuts they need to make. Most importantly, I feel that the show is making good use of animation to deliver more than just a rote retelling of the novels. It's a good team!
I really enjoyed the illustrations at the end of each episode, so much that I want them on my computer. I turned them into desktop wallpapers, and if anybody else would like to do that, I've posted them here in a couple different resolutions:
