@gamen
yea, they're be compressing a lot into 1 season, a tough row to hoe. If handled poorly the whole thing could be a train wreck. If handled well, like a scalpel in a talented surgeon's hand, the cuts might make for a satisfying 'whole' cour...I'm not optimistic that fans will be happy, I'm just hoping that for what it is (without comparing it to the WN/LN/Manga) it's entertaining (as I've mentioned upthread, I have a low bar) ---I'll watch it regardless unless it becomes unbearable (like Ragnarok anime was) -
@jon-mitchell I guess considering it from a plot standpoint it makes more sense to stop there because it could wrap up more nicely (depending on the pacing and cuts). It's also better for a hypothetical second season too if they were to pace it the same way.
-
Celia proving, once again, that she can be so damn cute on any media form.
-
Finally caught up and I rather enjoyed episode 2. Something about the voice acting of Celia just clicks with the mental image I had of her in my head.
No doubt for me, still best waifuOh and just noticed from the end credit artwork, it looks like at minimum volume 5 will be reached (best arc in my opinion)
-
@custodes From the title of the next episode I guess ep 3 will end the first volume... And why did they sum up Rio not being able to use magic as an off remark by fucking Alphonse?? Damn... this is not looking good.
-
@paulnamida Opposing viewpoint: They're cutting a lot of stuff that ultimately isn't important in the long run, meaning we might be able to trust they'll do cuts competently and devote more time to content that's appealing to new viewers, which will get them to read the books and maybe allow for more anime in the future.
-
@myskaros IMO, showing his training at using his mana and how it differs from the regular magic taught at the Kingdom was an important plotpoint. I guess they could just show it as a flashback during the minotaur fight, but that'd be anticlimactic AF.
-
@paulnamida Please remember not to post spoilers in this topic, a lot of people are experiencing the story for the first time via the anime. And I still don't really think that plot point is important, so I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
-
@jon-mitchell in different point-of-view crowd funding can actually make something that was ignored by publisher into working product. also it left the creator to their own device without minding publisher pressure. as someone who witness the success of nekopara I think its not impossible task. well, as long as we have enough fans with money tho.
-
2nd episode was great imo.
not too much content skip while also has plenty of Celia screen.also when Celia call "Rio..." to ask him the trouble he facing was so nice to hear.
it ring really well.
after 5 year time skip.
-
The second episode went farther than I expected, but honestly, it cut out only a little bit of the terrible attitudes towards Rio. And the discussion that led to Rio being sent to the school. The bringing up Miharu again the way they did was really well done.
-
@grobinson2k1 I would have preferred they kept the fight with Charles short and included Roanna's lecture, but it was still a very good episode.
-
@salientmind To be fair....
-
@albertrojas yeah, but if we are thinking long term.
-
@salientmind True, but
-
@albertrojas That is true, and they can even retroactively include it.
-
I have to say, I am enjoying the anime
the time-skip was a little jarring, but other than that seems to moving at a reasonable pace- and as a stand alone (if I hadn't already read the LN), I imagine would still be entertaining. At present there isn't a lot of 'meat on the bones' of the story that isn't typical academy anime cliché, but it is only episode 2it 'clears my bar' with room to spare
-
I already expected the anime to have sub-par battle animations, but it still feels pretty bad.
Oh well.
At least they're doing the story justice, which is Seigensou's main selling point.

Not of nobility, but more noble than them all combined.

Still unfortunate that the best part is the omake 4koma at the end of each episode :P
