| Sue is officially 10 years old if you want to know how farked up the arranged marriage is. I applaud the show for maintaining it's level of quality with the most generic and unappealing mecha design. |
| I genuinely laughed out loud when the mech fell over and she said "Don't look". |
| Episode 8 It turns out that Cloud's mother is being held prisoner, and that being ill was just an excuse to keep Cloud away, all thanks to the corrupt prime minister Wardack. To complete his power-grabbing scheme, all he has to do is to have Sue marry Zabune, who plans to use the enslavement collar on her. And then he plans on using Cloud to declare war on Palouf. Quite a diabolical scheme that Wardack has cooked up there, but none of that matters when he's up against Touya. The enslavement collar was removed with Zabune thinking he has killed his slave, while Erya is rescued, and with the use of invisibility magic, Touya gets proof that Zabune is not even a member of royalty. And then comes the coronation ceremony that was the perfect opportunity to expose Wardack and family for all their crimes. That was well-done by Touya there to show what happens to anybody who dares try to make a girl cry like what Zabune was about to do with Sue. So with that matter settled, onto powering up those mechas. |
| The arranged marriage turns out to be part of a bid to seize power by Zabune and Prime Minister Wardack. After rescuing Cloud's mother, Touya manages to get some juicy info that really thickens the intrigue on this conspiracy. Once the king is informed about this, he exposes the whole plot in public while making Cloud his successor. Touya then scares Zabune to the point of passing out with a couple shots from his gunblade. Back to work on getting the Frame Gears up and running, while Sue is now officially Touya's sixth fiancée. Is he ever going to have a say in bridal affairs? |

| Good thing the bad guys here were comically evil. Wouldn't want any nuance or anything. "She's only 10 and she's like my little sister but I guess I can convince myself to bone her one day" |
| I'm the moral prince, slavery is illegal in our country...also, I'm selling you into slavery |
| Episode 9 With Touya’s ever-growing collection of wives, they go off on a date in Refreese. Dating so many girls at once was bound to get awkward, and they had a few bumps along the way with those thugs attacking them, but it all turned out well. Until Touya realizes he forgot to bring Sue along, so she gets her time alone. After waiting awhile, the ether fluid needed to run those mechas are ready. And then while searching for the orichalcum golem, he runs into Hilde, who is leading an army to fight Phrases and having a tough time with them, but Touya cuts them down easily with his new sword. Then, he meets another girl, one who is badly injured. The girls just keep coming going to show that Touya is quite the chick magnet. |
| The girls request that Touya take them on a date, and once again they prove that they don't need his help against some thugs. Of course, Sue's upset she didn't get to tag along, so the next day she has Touya all to herself. Then it's time to test pilot the Frame Gears, and the girls rush ahead of Touya to get their chance in the cockpit. Next, while heading to take down an Orichalcum Golem, Touya encounters some soldiers having trouble against some Phrase. After cutting them down with his new crystal sword, he gives three of them to the person commanding the soldiers, Princess Hildegard of Lestia. Finally, after taking down the Orichalcum Golem, he finds a girl on the brink of death near a river. |

| All the females in the ED have been introduced. Now, how do they join his harem? A boy's fantasy fulfillment, but not to be taken seriously. |

Gafennec said: 2some, 3some or more-some? :D Well, okay those logistics too. I was just speaking as to the time share situation. In both senses he only has so many limbs to grab on to. |
marklebid said: He'll have to marry a couple professional assistants to manage his schedule. At the moment he seems to be trying to achieve world peace by marrying a princess from every country on the planet. |
marklebid said: Nah his main waifu wants that. He just wants to pilot giant robots. Wonder how long that is going to last. His smartphone only showed like 6 magic stones in the entire world large enough to turn into fuel. |
| Episode 10 That girl Touya saved, who he names Sakura seeing that she doesn’t remember her own, is nursed back to health, and she’s quite the singer. So with her in tow, Touya takes on another job to slay the Catoblepas, a monster that can petrify its enemies. That beast was quite difficult to deal with as Touya has to defeat it without looking it in the eye. And then things get out of hand when Lucia looks at its head after it was decapitated as that thing’s magic is still active for awhile after it’s dead. But they have to deal with another one of those beasts, but it’s a good thing Touya knew a spell that can blind that thing long enough for Yae to go in for the kill. A good number of fanservice opportunities presented itself seeing that recovery only works on the body, but not so much with the clothes, and he wasn’t thinking when he unpetrified all those soldiers with the girls present. |
| Touya manages to save that girl he found by the river, but she has amnesia, so he names her Sakura until she can get her memories back. Touya notices she has a talent for singing, so he makes a piano for accompaniment. Then the guild asks Touya to dispatch a Catoblepas, which can petrify anyone by looking at them. Touya can restore the bodies of people who were petrified, but evidently not their clothes, and the eyes' petrifying gaze persists for a while after the monster dies. Then another one shows up, and Touya blocks its line of sight to allow Yae to behead it safely. Of course, Touya forgot about Recovery not working on petrified clothes when he healed all the adventurers who were turned to stone in front of the girls. Meanwhile, Touya's gesture of goodwill has made quite the impression on Hildegard, and her grandfather is interested in any other mysterious weapons the Grand Duke might have at his disposal. But Hildegard likely is more interested in Touya himself at the moment. |
| Failure is always an option. |
| Grandfather already plotting to marry her off to Touya. |
marklebid said: Anytime someone hears the name 'Touya' they desperately search for a female to give him. In their defense it hasn't failed to work yet. Trading one teenage girl for the protection of the most advanced country on the planet is a good deal for them. |
| Episode 11 Add Hilde to Touya's ever-growing collection of wives as the knight of Lestia comes to Brunhild escorting her grandfather there to form an alliance with this new kingdom. He's quite interested in those mechas, and after seeing just how great a guy Touya is, as well as how strong Hilde has gotten, albeit that Touya cheated in the match when he showed that geezer a projection of a swimsuit model to distract him, she's now engaged. And then there's Karen who comes in claiming to be Touya's sister. Touya has all the girl power he could possibly have wanted, and a whole lot more than that. |
| The Love Goddess pays a personal visit, posing as Touya's "sister," Karen. And Hildegard escorts her grandfather Galen on his diplomatic mission to Brunhild, but when Karen exposes Hildegard's feelings for Touya, Galen decides to fight his granddaughter to prove her resolve. Touya distracts Galen with a projection of a swimsuit model, since he's a pervy old man, and now Hildegard is Touya's seventh fiancée. Now Karen wants to get in on all the girl talk, too, and she's more than willing to divulge some embarrassing secrets about Touya's life. |
| Failure is always an option. |
| I like how he doesn't even have a say in it anymore. The harem is self sustaining and self replicating. They didn't even ask his opinion. |
| Episode 12 (Finale) Touya acquires another workshop, the Tower, run by Pamela. And then Yumina becomes a big sister with the birth of Yamato, which brings up the question of who Touya is going to have children with seeing that he now has a whopping nine wives. And then it ends with a party with the workshop girls putting on a fireworks show with all of Touya's wives kissing him as a punishment, with a glimpse of the girls wearing wedding dresses, which won't happen anytime soon. Anyway, it ended the way it's supposed to with this rather than a battle against the Phrases as it's going to take quite some time for it to materialize. Final Thoughts This season is more of the same as the first season in that the show is all about the characters and not much else matters. The story and animation are a minor improvement over the first season, all while the characters continue to be a great and lovable bunch and the crazy eyecatches are what stand out. But at the end of the day, it's still just a generic isekai show that pretty much does everything that a typical harem fantasy show does and it's really only because of the characters that it had something worth watching. Grade: C (6/10) |
| of all the shows that deserve a second season...this bland nonsense got one and the second season was even more bland than the first 4/10 |

| Why are they mad at him when they're the ones that keep adding more wives? 4/10 and that's being generous. |
| Touya finds the Tower and the Rampart docked together, and then Yumina's mother gives birth to a boy, who Touya names Yamato. Then the Babylon androids let slip that Touya will have nine wives, and soon all the girls find out too, and they make him kiss them in turn during a fireworks display. Well, most of them anyway, as Lucia runs away at the last second, while Hildegard faints before she can get a chance. Plus, Yae throws Touya over her shoulder, and Elze punches him after those two get kissed. All in all, the season ends the same way it started, with harem shenanigans, and based on the crystal ball Cesca brought out, Leen and Sakura are the last two wives. |
| Failure is always an option. |
| I give it a 7/10. Yes, the story is amazingly terrible. But I do like the character designs, and I've been very entertained by coming up with my own visual novel version of the story. That may not be a very good reason to bump up the score, but oh well. |
| I'll give it a 5/10 since I had no expectations for any story telling. Boy's wish fulfillment story telling. |
