Starts with king's guard abusing a child abuse for rescuing someone, and subsequently, no penalty for that. The anime itself was pretty shallow and lacked dimension. Okay to watch in the background, but lacking in quality of writing for sure.
I actually just realized. i guess its a bit too early but what daheck does "seirei gensouki" even mean. shrug. maybe this ep?
WAIT THE OP IS BY KOUNO MARIKA? thats weird. the fact that I dont recognize her though usually her normal voice is super obvious is uhm. I mean the song is fine I'm just uh
soo apparently they just completely skipped the scene of meeting the royal family? shrug
kinda curious
but anyway celia
i mean do i even need to mention every time she shows up? curious where the other girls are though
im really curious though. its kinda sad, there's so many talented voice actors but we dont always get to see them
also a main character who doesnt know how to write is definitely interesting. i mean rio's backstory is pretty tragic all things considered.
wait, i mean for us nowadays its hard to image the whole reading and writing thing but might be hard to fit in if he cant read or write?
they still havent told us how old is rio or celia, but considering that celia is quite a lot taller than rio...maybe celia is five years older?
kind of funny though. i mean we know that rio grows up (LATER, whenever that is)
ok yes now we get our flashback
still no idea. but anyway its kind of funny because in most other places the schools only start at like, age 10, age 12, or like high school maybe. maybe
i mean its still weird, because. surely celia cant be over 20? its quite uncommon to see but welp
i guess if she's talented enough her age doesnt really matter
hmm. hmm. so celia is 12. but how old are the others?
also only saw one of the princesses, uh
well math is math but it usually isnt such a big deal in most anime. in fact i cant remember when it actually matters
next up, practical lessons. how old are they again? i feel like a broken record but uh
so yeah conveniently rio had some training before he was reincarnated, so he gets a head start
something something read write exams. i mean im assuming some time has passed
actually. its quite uncommon to hear the mc use watashi. orr uhh is it? huh
maybe i just didnt notice before this, but its not a common thing either
its really funny how rio says celia is small when celia is still bigger
ok wtf FIVE YEAR TIMESKIP?
and you're telling me that nothing happened in the past five years because reasons. convenience
anyway im just gonna assume. that rio was 7 ish or so. so now rio is 12 and celia is 17? hmm.
that or maybe rio is a few years older. kinda strange but oh well
still its kinda abrupt. so did rio literally not make a single friend in 5 years? shrug
so yeah celia either didnt grow much at all, or rio was like haha. i dunno honestly.
a bit weird for children to have a match
its funny because in most anime they just use all swords. or do they? shields are really uncommon unless they specifically mention it.
So yeah that's the end of the ep. still a bit confusing as to what's going to happen, is rio just going to graduate and go on his journey, or is something going to happen?
Not quite a cliffhanger but still a bit odd. I guess they tried maybe.
No sign of the other girls yet, so this ep was almost entirely celia
Rio still looks a little different, so I'm assuming there's going to be another one or two timeskips, maybe small ones. They havent mentioned exactly rio's age, so I'm guessing he's MAYBE, either 12/13/14/15 at most, but I dunno.
I have no idea actually, and the princess is like uh. From the title of the next ep I'm assuming something is actually going to happen.
Are the girls actually gonna show up or? Like I guess we still have the two princesses, and celia is plenty cute.
