Leon is pretty much playing his life like an otome game. Hardly surprising to see anyway and slightly amusing to see him trying to act like a prince.

Olivia seems like a kind and gentle girl compared to some of the others. I'm not impressed by the storytelling yet but it seems they're fleshing out more characters and their screen time. Marie might also be someone to watch out for.

They shorten most of the side event.. and 3 side character introduction but this is to be expect from 12 episode I guess.

from the source reader perspective, they does show the event that lead to the first showdown properly
but people who watch this for the first time probably find a hard time to relate to each characters

Leon is really playing his life like the Otome Game, since he's pretty much in one.

Being a baron, he's finally entered into the world of the otome game academy as a mob, and experiencing the game's events and dialogues in real time with the noblemen and women. Being educated in their ways, Leon really doesn't care for such intricacies, but does anyways if it gives him an edge. The girls that Leon invited however...looks a lot like drag girls lols.

Leon witnessing the commoner scholarship protagonist Olivia being bullied, and although that's part of the game's story that he doesn't want to interfere with, he just can't help but be sympathetic to her to help her be invited to Angelica's tea party by hook or by crook.

It's even more clear that in the dungeon, Leon and Olivia are designed to be a mob, but Marie's position around the prince is a sour sight in the face of fiancé Angelica, and his circle of noble friends are just as described. It's clear that the prince fancies Marie more than Angelica, and Olivia might just be Leon's fancy as well.

This Otome Game is NOT going the way that Leon wants it to be...who is Marie actually???

Leon starting to notice more this world isn't following the otome game exactly. Things are starting to diverse which is when it gets tricky. Leon is heading into uncharted territory seeing things different from the game. Befriending the game's protagonist wasn't high on Leon list of priorities but Olivia seems like a sweet girl. Just trying to get by in a hostile snobby school environment. Being the lowly scholarship student while everyone else paid their way in. Its tough seeing someone sweet as Olivia get bullied, I'm glad that Leon decided to invite her to his tea party. Which those seem more like marriage introduction ceremonies than actual tea parties. If the ladies like the tea party enough they might choose that guy as their husband. So further showing females have more power in this world since the males must put on this grand display while the females choose their spouse freewill. I started to feel bad for Angelica throughout this episode. Definitely by the end after we saw that smirk from Marie. Angelica doesn't seem to fit that stereotypical mean girl antagonist, she genuinely cares for the prince and wants to keep him safe. Marie though has some kind of trick up her sleeve.

Honestly this wasn't so bad, I can see why the LN is so popular, and after talking with people who read it they all said its pretty good.

The problem is that the production is very bad and its your typical Engi ruining LN adaptations.

I really can't stop laughing with the dialogue choices, it's pretty amusing but the worldbuilding here is just getting started. Olivia getting bullied was a bad sign but glad Leon invited her to the tea party, I kinda do like that cave scene where Olivia and Leon were set up in the 2nd half but the slaughtering segments are meh visually though I kinda do like with those explosive sparkly effects when they were attacking ye. Marie is big sus in the cliffhanger.

I'm intrigued more and more by this story. So both Leon and the Prince suffered the same injury yet Marie who is a different character in the game that Leon played is the Heroine to them and Olivia the OG Heroine is actually treating him. I king of dig that because it opens up a lot of questions.

I like Angelica a lot. I think shes a very interesting character as she only puts on the Antagonist front, kind of like how Catarina was.

Ep 2 is better now that it take place in academy. One of the most interesting thing about this anime is that despite it has "Otome Game" in its title, I think the target audience is male, straight male to be precise. It's probably because our MC is a mob character so he can look at the situation as a third eye view. I'm wondering if Marie is Leon's sister in real world, or probably someone in real world who play this game and know all the event. I'd do the same too because I want to be with that men harem even if those men are shallow.

Well after 2 ep i think i can make a pretty good judgement.

I will admit this adaptation is defiantly struggling with poor animation, lower than average but not the worst i have seen.

Pace wise, while i have not read the original ln i have read the manga version and so far it has been good in that regard, adapting on average 3 chapters of the manga per episode and it has been pretty good.

I enjoy this series so as long as the adaptation at least is consistent and keeps most of the stuff i read in the anime, i can def enjoy it, i certainly have so far.

I guess for anime onlies with the poor animation and rather slow and typical start it should be expected that not everyone is going to jump for it, my advice if this still does not please by ep 3 to 4, you should just stop but i can tell you it does get better and better as it goes on.

Voice acting is really good, they managed to capture the essence of the mc quite well, soundtrack is rather lacking and simple tough.

Bottom line: I think im going to stick with it, even with the pointed issues as long as the adaptation is done right and keep the character traits intact, il enjoy as almost as the manga. I still need to read the ln i would like a perspective from someone who read the original book as well to weigh in.

Manga is pretty much drawing by a good passionate good artist while ENGI anime took a "weird art direction" combine with "low budget"
the pacing is good enough I give them that not a despair level yet

the problems at the moment is just the art and low budget animation really,
12 episode format didn't help much either since a lot of dialogue is cut due to the limited time.

You can search the comparison and see why source reader lament about anime art.
some believe it anime studio weird decision on having this new design
but the original art is as clean as it can get

1st episode was more like a prologue, now is when the plot REALLY starts. Like with the previous one they King Crimson'ed some explanation and introduction.
I think the weirdest design i've seen so far was Leon's shishou, but as a character he's awesome. Meanwhile Marie seems to look actually decent, with Olivia being 2nd "best" design... ugh this frickin' Marie always gives me mixed feelings of "must hug" and "must Will Smith her face". Ayane Sakura's sexy voice makes me even more confused.

The animation is overall the weakest part, the pacing is pretty good so far though, cutting unimportant stuff for time that can be cut while not cutting important parts.

Time will tell if it keeps this pace, but if it keeps at this pace it will end at a good point for the season.

I'm dumb so I had to look up what a baronet is, it's just a rank below baron. I think it was nice that the MC was trying to be a mob in the games storyline. he even made normal friends..I hope.

his conversations with his robot assistant are enjoyable and that Marie girl looks like trouble. I think I'll keep watching

I don't think the animation is that bad for the kind of anime this is (honestly better than first episode of shield hero). The eyes apparently are unnerving for some people but I didn't mind. Apparently the manga and LN are better but that's the usual for this type of show. Pacing and story wise it's been actually fine so far, better than most other isekais (or non isekai fantasies that feel like isekai) from this year.

Apparently the studio is known for butchering stuff, but imo the critics are being too harsh on this one solely based on the character design and the studio background.

Only 2 episodes in but def better than average. At least by now I'd give this a 7 give or take.

-

About this ep: I bet the loli girl (Marie?) also is someone who got isekai'd after playing the game, and knows all of its tricks, but differently than our MC she's aiming to be the main girl of the game instead of the basic background character. She seems a bit off, probably not a good person since she actually finished this shitty game. (Leon was bmed into it so he's in the clear lmao).

Leon's knowledge of the game landed him a place in nobility. He's seen all the situations involving the boys unfold before him except the player character Olivia is replaced with some loli named Marie, yet Olivia also exists in this world.

Is Marie his sister playing the game? Leon's been stuck in the game world for 10 years. Would he forget his real sister's face to the point that Marie only looks familiar but not instantly recognizable? Maybe a combination of that and his sister's playing an updated version or DLC with character customization?

Marie is doing what Olivia would've done (such as heal the prince), but Leon's presence has altered the situation, so Olivia instead heals Leon.

I think this episode this time there is an improvement from the previous one. Although there is still a lot to improve, especially the graphics part. For the broadcast many scenes were cut from the story, so there is a kind of plot missing and needs to be detailed.
