| Teh gods are on her side. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I knew immediately that Kolbe was going to steal her work, but I'm glad that she found out about it very quickly. What's still surprising is the fact that she's Nowak's daughter since is kind of ironic that she's seeking something that usually her dad kills people for. However, I'm excited for her to join the gang. She'll be thrilled with all the research and information they have already. Badeni lost some respect by not honouring the request ngl |

| @Sun_Chan It's probably for the best. Potocki reported Rafal anyway to the authorities even if he believes in heliocentrism. It's a risk they shoudn't take. |
| I stumbled into watching this show last week and I gotta say this is genuinely a hidden gem. As someone who loves history and historical fiction, this is amazing. Nowak being the father of Jolenta puts him in such a hard situation. Him trying to suppress his daughter's ambitions for his personal career and both of their livelihoods while also trying to encourage her to be a scholar has to be really hard to pull off. She got scammed hard! I bet he thinks he's doing the right thing but his ulterior motives are brutal and I hope we see some justice eventually. BTW never heard of this Seiyuu before, When I first heard her, I thought she was Hina Yomiya (VA for Anna Yamada (Bokuyaba), and Minami (Oshi no ko)). She sounds great. |

| This was a heavy episode. Felt so sorry for the girl. That smart and only 14, must be a witch indeed :). Guy who stole her work. I wonder if he really cares for her, or he's just bullshiting deliberately. I mean, considering the era he may honestly believe what he said, without ill intent. The girls lucky though. Even at the end, she's lucky the duo was conveniently at the right time and place as she's posting her answer. And, she's lucky those two couldn't care less about her sex (I believe). |

For example, by having the daughter do both parts.
She says her line and then a short silence and she retells her dad's reply using indirect speech, then she replies to that, and so on.
It's not even an uncommon trope in anime.
Though it's generally used to just not dub that one person lol
But that would be a neat way to use the trope to hide a character's identity.
It's not like it won't be revealed later so it wouldn't even be overused.
Welp, they missed chance to do that I guess

Or skip the meeting all together. But the letter would be better. Now, the giant plot twist is spoiled. They did ruin it
| @Baranka02 Another option would be to make Nowak sick during that time and have a hoarse and hardly recognisable voice. |
| In this episode, we’re introduced to a new character, Joletna, who has a talent for astronomy. However, as a woman, she’s denied the chance to pursue her passion fully. We see her struggle as she has to give up claiming her work, torn between what she truly believes and what society forces her to do much like Rafal, who also grapples with contradictions between his ideals and his actions. The cliffhanger was perfectly executed. Leaving me impatient for the next episode. This is, without a doubt, my pick for Anime of the Year. |

| Man, WHAT THE FUCK THIS ANIME STORY IS FUCKING CRAZY. After seeing the two originals writers of the theory, we get told in an ultimatum that this group of people will be the one explaining the theory of Earth's moving, I really expected from the first death that it's gonna be people leaving their learnings to another person and the cycle repeats. BUT THIS ISN'T ONLY IT. We get to know that Jolenta father is Nowak (duh we hear the voice) and from what we see at the end of the episode, these three may be the trio to reveal this religion-shattering discovery breakthrough and they might fight Nowak in the future, that sounds like a crazy plot twist and very epic. I also like how Jolenta was introduced in the anime, this anime don't hesitate to show thinking errors and fallacy in the medieval age, how religion can overpower someone way of thinking and not accept the truth, I think it's a great plot point to introduce a woman, that makes the iregularity and difference of the group from everyone else even more big, a woman can become a genius. I wasn't sure what way the anime was going after Rafal death, but this does seem like a very good turning point. Excited to see what they are gonna do for a whole cour and a half left, writing is fire. |
| I like everything, ok |
| That was a really good depiction of misogyny, and her character feels very belieavable. |

At first i thought Jolenta VA was Saori Hayami but after i saw the cast she is new VA and she did a good job for her main role debut
| @ArcViralRush YES, I thought so too. She sounds good |
| Jolenta pretty epic |
  me candies:        |
| Badeni is an arrogant pain in the ass without honor and integrity at all... 🤢 |
 |
| Oh this is interesting twist of ironic fate with who Jolenta's dad is |

| Who would have thought Nowak has a daughter that doing astronomy research. WOW |
 |
| Great episode, feel like it starts to pick up again since that incredible 3rd episode. Is there any info on if it'll cover the whole manga in 25 episodes? |
| Things were so much worse back then, people weren’t allowed to freely pursue research, and women were even forbidden from trying. I felt heartbroken when Jolenta started crying after realizing how unfair this world is and began to lose hope. Luckily for her, everything is about to change. |
| Badeni won't even give 10% of the findings to the person stated in the letter and asks Oczy to sacrifice his entire share? That egotistical prick! I don't like him anymore. Poor Jolenta. Pushed to the side and not "allowed" to learn because she's female? And then her mentor takes her treatise and passes it off as her own "for her safety"? That plagiarist is too good at gaslighting. Geez this makes me so angry. |
 |
| Interesting to find out that Jolenta is Nowak's daughter, I like how the characters that have been introduced are interconnected in some way. I also see implications with Jolenta delving into subject matter that is controversial especially considering who her father is and I wouldn't doubt for him to sacrifice her if it came to that.... Anyways, for now Jolenta gets to meet Badeni and Oczy whom I'm sure appear to be intimidating figures as they approach her but she'll find out that they're friendly. |
