Hello...hello to Earth to Zagan for a proper greeting!?

Zagan's living the other plain life, and Nephy...is also living the same as him. And it just so happens that he has no money left, and he needs to earn some...by saving traveling merchants from the perils of armed robbers. Once again, Zagan thinks that he's overdone it, though he's on his usual road to overthinking that money comes easily to him this way.

Zagan getting things for Nephy, and other than his discrimination as a sorcerer, picking out a more appropriate outfit and trying to remove the collar is a job easier said than done. But still, the townsfolk seeing a change of heart through Zagan having Nephy, it's noticeable. And her trying out some good food like cherry tomatoes, both of them share an inkling lols, and already, Zagan a taste of the close-indirect kiss.

The same girl who was saved from the Facestealers and lost the Angelic Knights under her control, she is a Knight within the Church responsible...and more than the false accusation, the Maiden of the Holy Sword, Captain Chastille Lillqvuist, is on the task to clear the misunderstanding.

Will Zagan meet a fate closer to romance, or death?

That guys face sliding right off completely caught me off guard 😂
What an interesting premise though, this looks like it’s going to be a really fun watch! Went to an auction for a sword, returned with an elf bride… seems like a pretty good deal if you ask me. Actually kind of reminds me of The Ancient Magus’ Bride.
They have one of my favorite VAs in this anime too! I’m really excited about this one.

Episode 1 is already out on Crunchyroll. Someone already came out with a thread for episode one before the first episode ever came out. So the bot got confused and thought it was episode 2?

I almost dropped this after the rather dull first episode, but this one was way more entertaining as they showcased some snippets of Zakan's abilities and there were many cute moments between him and Nephelia. Especially the part at the end when they were eating together, I couldn't help but smile throughout the whole scene.

More of the same shenanigans as the first ep. And I always like a clothes shopping scene. Especially if a silver haired fem is the model.
Unfortunately, Zagan continues to be increasingly unbelievable. Went from a street rat to a high-level sorcerer and still acts like he has NO knowledge about the world.
Well, the next episode should have some misguided action. It seems captain Chastille is being duped into attacking Zagan. I hope all the comments about the story getting darker are true. Then I can overlook the weak plot and badly written MC.

Feeding and indirect kiss, check! Church is full of assholes, check! We crossed the streams.

Accepting kindness used to be a completely foreign concept to both Zagan and Nephy, but they're getting there. Would hire the bird lady to dress up my waifus. Appreciate the new gags of Zagan being mistaken for a pervert and saying bizarre edgelord lines when he's trying to show off to Nephy. Diversification!

I wonder what the paladin has in store for our hero.

I'm loving the 180 of Zagan's outlook when faced with the villagers alongside his new companion, hoping there's even more town folk warming up to him!

If there's anything to be suspicious of, the church lord seems to be planning something.

Well, this episode was definitely better, than the previous one. Less BS, but still a questionable setup from Zagan's character.

They should have really aired these 2 episodes together to give the audience a better start, because the 1st episode alone still pretty awful.

I still found Zagan's character unrealistic, because he's technically this Isekai protagonist, who has this shut in personality, while constantly being shown as an infamous character. I can't immagine a world, where someone like him would have problems with money, just like in every typical Isekai ever. He supposed to be serving someone or rule over others. This type of personality works for isekai protagonist, because they're new in the world, where they get transported to, but Zagan is a local to this world.
And no, I'm not going to complain about his poor habits. That's actually realistic. People, who spend most of their life being poor, usually maintain habist from those times, even if they become rich and powerful, but not like this.
Although, this might be just another "just read the manga" moment, where they'll explain that he just suddenly become rich and powerful.

Either way. I think this "buying her as a slave" was a bad idea. It creates too many plot holes. At least at the moment. Just saving and sheltering Nephilia or receiveing her as an inheritance would have made more sence.
If you don't believe me, than go and watch the 1st episode of The Ancient Magus's Bride. It's technically the same scenario from start to finish, but it made sense, because Elias was filthy rich and just dropping that kind of money was nothing for him. He also had an appearance and notoriety to make him a realistic character in that scenario.

Nephilia is slowly warming up to him, I suppose. And so is pretty much everyone else around him. I hope they get that collar off of her asap so their relationship feels less like Stockholm syndrome

Nephy's so cute, really sweet interactions this episode. I was wondering why he didn't take off the colar but it looks like he just can't. Btw thanks harpy shopkeeper, thanks for the Nephy fanservice.

So that red hair girl was a paladin. Zagan getting discriminated just cause he's a sorcerer. I wonder when he'll become an archdemon and everyone will be too scared to even confront him.

If you concentrate on the relationship being unfolded between the main characters, you're probably going to like it as much as I did. So far these 2 episodes made me feel very good. I'm expecting the rest to be as cool as these.

I think I'll be watching this one to the end! It's probably the only show from this season so far that's gotten me this interested. Everything up until now has been alright (with the exception of Yuru Camp but I need to finish rewatching the second season). It's funny though, I was thinking about skipping this show entirely but I'm glad I didn't! I have to ask though, why isn't this tagged as comedy?

Also love Nephy's first outfit 👀

@Mr_Fudgee I didn't even notice before but I love it! It's so cute!

So the story goes with this two buying some daily needs, like clothes for Nephilia, and some classic romance scene in a tavern where feed each other. seeing that soft side of Zagan really bring a new light to his charater which make some people think of him diffrently. A woman sure can change a man either better or worse, and in this case, Zagan has look more vulnerable to talk with.
loved it, especially their interaction in the tavern are just cute, they look just like a shy newly wed. Like how flustered Nephilia was when he cant catch the cherry with her fork. and how the other sees them make them even more, it's just exciting how the interaction of the two. classic romance, but it's not your generic usual romance with lots of comedy scream which not even funny. it's good to have some good normal romance again
umm is it normal? I mean Zagan sure only talk with high pride, even tho he want to say a nice thing

Listening to Fern's voice through Nephy is such a wonder. I love it!! 🥰

P.S. Here comes my favourite girl in this series!
CrazyButNot4UApr 5, 8:03 AM
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.
