| I literally paused the anime for like 5 minutes when they kissed out of nowhere, what is happening? Did something happen in the novels that didn't get adapted and we are missing info or is the story like that? I was so lost I had to check if I was missing an episode and I skipped one accidentally, I loved this anime so much but then that pacing made me feel like they were speedrunning the show so much to the point of making it difficult to follow what's happening in the 2 main characters relationship. Could someone pls tell me from which point I need to read the Novel/Manga to know what happened between cap 5 and 6 for them to kiss like that?. |
| wth with that kiss? She just accepted it as though it wasn't their first time kissing. The villain is now here. Lanak. Is he mind controlling Tinasha? At first, I was under the impression that her 'Unnamed Memory' is one of hatred for Lanak, which is something she repressed and that fully facing it would unleash devastation. Then again, is she under Lanak's control or just pretending to be by his side? It's an exciting episode that we get to know her backstory, but it leaves us asking more questions. ETA: I'll hold this anime for now, and go to the light novels. My original plan was to read the LNs after episode 12, but somebody mentioned a twist in volume 4 and I now fear it's not gonna end well if such twist is present in the anime but the misdirection and red herring and some stuff are not executed properly due to the speed run. additional edit: Even before I read the first chapter, there's a few lines that seem to point to the twist. I speculate it's . Interestingly, light novel volume 1 covered up to episode 5 with some chapters omitted. It seems to me that even at a rushed pace, it's impossible to cover all volumes in one cour unless you do 2 cours. |

This was literally me. I rewatched it just to make sure it actually happened. This is actually painfully horrible pacing, so much is happening it seems like and yet I understand jack shit about a single thing. Which I’ve read everywhere that this is exactly what’s happening, and it makes sense that huge chunks of the narrative are missing. But the kiss was most jarring of all to me, there’s been negative romantic chemistry built between them until now imo
| @CorLeonis-_- Yeah It just made me like confused at first, and when I realized I didn't skip any episodes it was the first time I felt angry about a series, normally when I watch a bad anime I just see the bad points and think to myself "I know what I was getting into since episode 1" but this anime started so fucking good and looked so promising that I'm surprised that someone in the writing team could make it go so low in so less time, I mean it never was a perfect anime but the transition from episode 5 to 6 was like "How can we destroy pacing and core elements of the series (MC's relationship) in record time". That's what I feel so sad about because it was so promising and looked so good that it's just sad to see them destroy everything in 1 episode, am sure the source material has better pacing and explains why this is happening or this would never get an adaptation |

I think this is the first time ever for me to see an anime that looks nice, I like the setting and the voice actors sounds amazing but holy smokes the plot here has such a cognitive dissonance. The fact that there's a threat of rape used as a prank and a moment after there's a scene where they kiss, this is just messed up. Frustrating to watch and I am absolute sucker for anything fantasy. I do not know if source material is as bad as this adaptation but I never was legit angry at an anime and this is the moment when I actually am.
| @SlashBeast the source material is said to be decent. ENGI just fucked up. https://twitter.com/BasedLIDA/status/1784297413223866430 I finished reading Unnamed Memory LN Vol. 1 and 2 and am starting on Vol. 3. The narrative is quite fascinating, and I’m loving the detailed journey, particularly how Tinasha and Oscar’s relationship develops, it’s so genuine and fluid. They're definitely among my favorite duos! https://twitter.com/BasedLIDA/status/1784298525897228591 Their connection in the novel is far more impactful than in the anime, which fails to capture the essence due to omitted details. It significantly diminishes their relationship, which i can't endorse. I highly recommend reading the novel, it's way better. |
| get ntr'd buddy. in all seriousness, the progressions of the story and the "romance" are laughable at this point |
| We are truly witnessing history here. This anime will surely be studied as one of the most successful, worst adaptations ever. Most good adaptations try to get you to jump into the source material by getting you hype and leave you wanting more. This one will accomplish that by confusing the fuck out of its viewers with it's terrible pacing that will leave viewers wanting to drop the show and read the LN. Honestly not sure where I go from here. If I continue the show, I feel like I'd be spoiling the LN for myself which seems to genuinely have an interesting plot and characters, but if I drop it I won't get to experience the dumpster fire while it's hot. Anyway, regarding the episode: I dropped my jaw when the kiss happened, for all the wrong reasons. Even knowing they were rushing the pacing of the show and the deleopment of their relationship from earlier episodes, I could not believe how badly this was executed. The only impact the scene had on me was purely due to the fact that it took me completely by surprise because it happened so nonchalantly, as opposed to actually having any meaningful build-up or proper execution. A couple's first kiss in a show should be a huge moment, and they animated it as though it was nothing special to the characters, or like it wasn't their first kiss. Honestly, I would not be surprised if it wasn't at this point with how much is apparently being skipped. |
| This thing is just all over the place. Pacing makes no sense, I feel like they are skipping whole chunks. |
 |
| This episode single-handedly made me start to dislike this series. This felt unreasonably rushed, like 3 episodes could have been used to explain everything here, and it doesn't really make sense for 60% of the progress for the episode. But maybe I am not very attentive or something. I hear this is a bad adaptation, maybe those people are correct? I won't give up this anime because I hope that the rest of the episodes redeem it, but who knows. |
 |
| Finally something exciting is happening, this episode is a turning point. I feel like I'm the only one who enjoy this episode, most people love to complain to every single thing when the show hasn't even finished yet. When some other anime whose characters having meetings for 5 episodes straight people complain, when some other anime whose two characters doing romance story on the same couch people complain, and now people complain about being too fast or not understanding the story when it's not that hard to understand this as Lucrezia explained all that Tinasha's sudden change behavior.  If you use your brain a little and actually watch this episode in normal speed you know that Tinasha wasn't doing NTR or doing some random stuff :) |

| Tinasha cancelling the curse within Oscar by overwriting with her blood, that's a rather risky gamble, but if it works, it works. More or less, the ball now is important, and Oscar wants Tinasha to go along with him, even if it's an act to see King Kevin and celebrate his birthday, and even then, he could be happy if Tinasha would agree to marrying him. As for Princess Cecilla of Tayiri trying to entice Oscar, Tinasha has to interfere her way through to hide Oscar away from Lanak, who scurrys her away to Cuscull. Oscar, clearly enraged of the reunion between Tinasha and Lanak, Lucrezia lays bare of their history, especially TInasha as a Tuldarr, which makes her royalty, and Lanak, who was just a lowly servant, with both not knowing the wiser about their own kingdom's ascension and political struggle. And even with Lanak trying to steal the core of Tinasha's power through horrific torture and making it his own, the power that he sought eventually returned to her, and the lands became which it was, including the tower which she resided at ever since. And that's where Oscar drew the line to save Tinasha, and his father successing him to the throne since the time was just right too. Dubious pacing aside, this episode was at least in some form or way, coherent. |
 |
| The foundations of the plot aren't bad per se, it's just painfully rushed. Having said that it's also not quite as interesting enough to get me interested in the source material. It's passable in 2x speed anime form and that's it. If this awful pacing persists the 'climax' will be unbelievably cringe, so I might as well drop it here |

Dude what the fuck is this pacing?
The connection between the events is totally fucked up, i can't understand many things, like the coment above i am lost too.
And a leak says that there will be 2 cours (will probably be announced at the last episode), this is just a stupid screenwriter.

| @lucio54 Hard agree, dropped this one, the pacing is way too fucked. |
 In most cases, the MAL Average Scores don't mean anything, here is a question: were the works made before 2000 all shit? Why are they so damn scarce in the Top 50? Think about how MAL is quite literally a filtered amount of the Anime fanbase. Here's a timeline of the Top 15 in which you can check that, almost always, the scores are affected by the freshness, popularity and other factors that have nothing to do with quality. |
| Hate that she broke the curse. Romance plot is now dead, there is no edge left whatsoever. Both can just do whatever the fuck they want. |
 |
| The way Tinasha lifted the curse on Oscar was anticlimactic. I think she searched for Lanak to get revenge, so I do not understand why she goes with him to Cuscull. Path of least resistance like Archer in Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works? I dislike the roundabout reason though. |

ReachelSoul said: @GeoXsf9 That's what is thought!! It was SO random it feels like i missed AT LEAST 4 ep Everything has changed- The dynamic, the personality of the characters and the overall purpose of the story (which went from trying to break the curse and ended up getting fixed in a fricking minute- to trying to save her) has completely changed! is it like this in the novel too? Did they do this because their limited to like 12-13 ep???? Haven't read the ln but as far as I got to know from other readers ln is well built |
| WTF is this shit, "Cuckhold - The Anime"?? As if the attempted rape and brushing it off as a prank wasn't terrible enough. Her going back to the evil crazy man like a maiden in love, who we later find out stabbed her repeatedly at age 13 in an attempted murder. Who wrote this fucking garbage. It's the kind of thing that makes it so irrational and insane that even I want to post that meme of the frog regretfully informing you that... "women". Speaking of regret, I'm now regretting binging this series after it's already finished airing. But I'm so far in, I'm now too invested. |
| We finally got a backstory on her. I fail to understand how she would still take Lanak's side. She should be able to beat him no? Maybe it's more of a psychological thing, but idk. |
