Lol, I can't help but grin at some of the people from Nike's kingdom.

I like how Nike's sisters takes the stage and sing the OP song. It's like the song is famous in this show now lmao. On another note, Kitora pissed me off this episode. Sigh, can't she ever catch a break?!

And also, I think Nike's grandma is pretty badass. Pretty intense episode overall. I like how Nike fights for herself and Livius.

Father? The guy is under most of people in the country, who doesn't think good about the king of son because they think that the girl is important for the country. Short hair sister is helping them, who didn't drink the water with sleeping pill, meet the girl who got trapped. Both of them still think of each other even when they are away from each other.

Two more eps.

Love really do change people ^w^ All those blushing and sensitivity now!
Kara with her personality and that feast xD Glad she was the one to do what she believed is right.
The incense and the drugged drinks to protect the power from human hands!
Livius fighting against the grandma to find the key. Nike trying to break free knowing that it is near impossible. I really like the concept on how Nike would feel more pain if she gave up.
Seeing Livius and Nike's efforts to be together... feeling a bit on the eyes.

I assumed this episode would give some well deserved attention to Neil, that's what the last previews hinted at. But instead I was fed with even more drama concerning people trying to split Livi and Nike up, as if there hasn't already been too much of that. It's getting more than a little tiring.

Nike is copying Steph's way of venting her extreme flusteration, banging her head on wall and stuff. XD
No "WRYYYYY" though.. That might've been epic!

That moment when she walked in and saw Livi naked.. Her reactions afterwards were so hilarious!

Loved Nike X Livi moments in the rain! Good seeing Livi apologizing and expressing his thoughts and feelings to Nike.
Kitora just had to intervene.. Well, at least they meet Nike's dad at last.

Kitora discloses his motive and makes his move. What a chagrin guy. -.-
Already knew that grandma was behind this..

Livi faking sleep and countering the situation with Neil's help was awesome!
Good seeing Kara leading Livi to the Black Lotus tower. Probably the best sister. (^^)

Livi got some big guts to take on grandma's challenge in finding the key and saying Nike is his woman. What a guy!
Meanwhile, Nike trying to get out from the confinement and thinking about Livi was admirably nice. Such a loving relationship they uphold! (^^)

Nice episode. Great to see that the manga is being adapted faithfully!
Next episode should conclude the arc.

Best episode yet. For once, the drama made sense. Livi even (even!) apologizes for his hysterics three episodes ago. He apologized already but that was more an afterthought than anything -- this is the genuine article.

And damn is cropped-haired oneesan just the best. So cool. *__*

Woah that escalated more quickly than Livi's short yandere moment.

I lol'd so hard at the naked part and then at the whole disco show, LMAO how in Earth did they get all of that technology?

Cousin with feelings, Grandma that looks to protect the interests of the kingdom and humanity. She sure is a tough opponent to beat.

It was really warm and at the same time heartbreaking watching the two fight so hard for each other, Livi getting buried in swamp and Nike beating herself to death to escape.

I wanna see how this progresses.

So.....

...Long story short:

[b]*[/b] Gramma's a bitch and everybody fears her
[b]*[/b] Everyone in the family (except Kara) are pussies that obey without question.
[b]*[/b] Livius and Neil had their number all along
[b]*[/b] The cousin is jealous and wanted Nike all along

....okay....!!!

Anyway, that sickness that Nike mother suffers from.... wonder if it is a true sickness or one more order from bitchy Gramma?? It seems like if someone doesn't go with her wills, they will be forcibly invited to take some time off...

I can't stop laughing when Nike, all bloodied, told Kitora she loves Livi. That's not a slap to the face. That's a stab to the heart with a spear tipped with lots of salt XD! Take that scum lmao.

They should take Kara back to the Sun Kingdom. She's so cool and I bet it would be more hilarious if she's around.

Lol and here I thought they had forgotten about Nike's father.
Nike and Livi's relationship is well established, and that makes the drama more effective.

The grandma is really a bitch btw.

There wasn't "IZ TENDER RAIN" so 0/10, dropped.
On a serious note, they will surely put it in again in the next two episodes.

I think that Livi was very prescient in accompanying Nike back to the rain kingdom, if he hadn't it's pretty clear that she wouldn't have been allowed to leave. While the preview would indicate that they will reunite, I'm not too sure that this issue will be resolved. I don't think Grandma is used to not getting absolute compliance with her decisions.

Kitora and Nike would make a hot couple, I just can't help but think of this.

I loved the insert song (which is also the OP) by Kara, she is hilarious xD Love Nike's sisters.

Glad Livius didn't fall for the trick. Neil in action! Esp. love Kara, so laid-back but fun, brave and kind.

Yeah, go Nike! You can get out.

This couple is really to much for my heart <3 Their Bond is so strong >.<

Flustered Nike at the beginning was KAWAII <3

The part in the rain under the umbrella was cute with how Livi told her he feels like she can fly away in the open clear sky :3

Lol'd at Nike's dad XD So he just sent Nike to marriage on the spur of the moment XD

Kara is my fav sister! She's so cool. Loved her live and how she led Livi to Nike. She's BA!

Didn't expect Baba to be the one who doesn't want Livi. Her reason is quite logical though with her fearing he'd use her powers for destruction in the future.

Loved how Livi had his doubts from the start and pointed his sword at the hypnotist and nice to see Niel in action ^^;

Baba is friggin BA cutting the sword in half so easily and calling lightning. Loved Livi's glare. He looks so BA!

Poor Nike doesn't know what's going on outside and hitting the door until she bled. DAT BOND <3

I hope nxt ep will have Nike sing and clear the sky >.<

- I demand equality, if Livi had been cutting wood with an axe he would no doubt would had his shirt off >_<

- Since granma says they are not human and they have microphones and high potency reflectors (and therefore electricity), then they must be aliens >_<

- Drugging and hypnotizing the head of state of a powerful foreign country would be IRL enough reason to burn the country to the ground and sell the citizens as slaves.

- Tetere sounds like titere (which means puppet in spanish), coincidence?

This anime is always so sweet, defiantly an underrated gem this season.

That concert was random though, seemed off, was it suppose to just be a joke, with how no one knew what the microphone was? It just seemed really out of place >.<.

But another touching episode. Livi is considered the evil king, but grandma looks more like a tyrannous ruler than he does xD.

Well, the mother IS sick, and she ain't a bitch. She's actually quite likable.

The grandma acts like a bitch, but that ain't really true. She's the ruler of a country who wants whats best for it. As it happens, she WAS away when the Duke married Nike off to Livi. Her methods may be hard-lined and underhanded, but in the end she's doing what she feels is best for the future of her country. That's the difficulty of being a monarch. Of course, she had the bad luck to go against Livi, so in a match of selfish intentions, she's bound to lose anyway.

Agreed, I also admire Kara for standing up to her family in helping Livi get to Nike. It takes a lot of guts to stand up to your entire family.

All that said, Kitora is an arse and a sad excuse for a villain. He didn't have the guts to show his feelings to Nike before. I would have loved to see Livi smack his arse silly, but alas it never happened in the manga.... such a pity....

I like this episode! Too bad there is no tender rain. The drama is really good, compared to any before ones that just kind of come out of nowhere.

Obaba is really a badass power women. I bet Nike's mom also has it in her. That genes seems to pass on to Nike and Kara, the other two sisters probably have more of the father's genes. Especially the gray hair one.

Obaba really is righteous though.

Please read what I wrote again...

I said I don't know if the mother is really sick or if it she was made to be sick by the bitchy Gramma...

Never said nothing bad about her mother, just spoke about the possibility of she's being made to suffer at the hands of the true ruler of the country... nothing more.

Awwwn, Nike has fallen in love with him :3
I mean, we knew it, but she finally realised it. It's a great step forward.

Poor Livi, having to find a freaking key in some dangerous water that could have sunk in the mud.

What I expect next episode, Kitora opening Nike jail and the people that were watching Livi at the end help him.

If it was a normal rom-com, or even pure romance, I would agree. Shouta wont fly though. I just increased the score to 7/10, but the main couple just feels wrong to me so I cant give it more. I imagine that is the main reason for the low score. I still cant see how Nike can have sexual drive towards someone whose head is the size of her boobs. When she hugs him, I can only see that as maternal instincts tingling. If I try to imagine anything more... brrr....
Also Livi having a mother complex doesnt help. The show just demands too much understanding from the audience.
Well, my 2 cents on the case, that is.

Maybe you should... read the description of a show...?

Nike, the fourth princess of the Rain Dukedom and one who holds the power to call forth the rain, travels to the Sun Kingdom to marry Sun King Livius for her country, despite her own reluctance. She soon discovers that the King, who conquered the world in only three years after his ascendance to the throne, is still a child! Furthermore, for trivial reasons, he has demanded that Nike call forth the rain...?!


That's like me watching some gory horror flick and being like, oh, minus 2 points for the gore. Ew. That would make me an idiot, just saying.

Uuuum... that's quite the feast you guys have going there...

Holy crap, they're really going after Livi's head lol... oh never mind, they're just going to hypnotize him, meh.
