this story has the entire potential of going FMA level of storytelling and drama. it could give so much depth through well done
emotional conflict that could merit 2 or 3 24 ep seasons (and obviously a lengthy manga ride)...
yet it seems they went the way of a cliché rushed and badly sustained romcom conflict that will end in some sillyness, just like they rushed the whole Al situation.

The princess suddenly changes character, it could be great to show how deep her inferiority complex actually runs beneath all that showoff personality mask, but the conflict suddenly becomes shallow and even childish, while it was perfectly executed in acting and directing .
so if only, if only had they decided to invest more into giving depth to the entire world building situation and the weight and consecuences, this could become a top show.

but surely next episode will be a silly fight with a sudden obvious confession and everybody happy with an easy solution in place. rom com cliché.

The potential for a true magical revolution/civil War in the kingdom to seriously address it's problems (with a tad of deep personal and lovers struggle is farther away) :(.

Either a deep plot twist happens in the next episode or it will be just another rushed Isekai/romcom of sorts.

Sad. but hey, at least it brought Yuri a bit closer to mainstream.

Don't kings have all the power?


No unless they are going with an absolute monarchy, which, seeing the situation with this show it obviously isn't the case here.

Pleasantly surprised with this anime, the mindset of Anis prior and post royal position responsibilities, is great to watch, the drama doesn't feel forced at all, personally.

I guess weebs, critical thinking, and basic political knowledge don't go together. Been seeing a lot of shit takes in this thread, completely ignoring common political sense, previously established world-building, and pivotal events that changed the direction of the story.

All they care about are probably yuri, moe, and cum, I guess that's why

A better comparison would be Ascendance of a Bookworm, which has amazing world building and clearly established character motivation, showing how powerless individuals can be even for a genius Isekai'd MC.

This show could have shown what the kingdom looks like (from the inside, outside, among social classes, potential threats against it's wellbeing), especially the lives of the peasantry and the nobles. This will provide support for Al's action and Anis' change in behaviors.

tbh this is one of the most annoying arcs I've ever watched. Anis' motives really feel as if they've massively shifted just to fabricate this drama. I will be shocked if this has a satisfying ending, as there really doesn't seem to be any good outcome with this situation.

As I was thinking this, I remembered the damn TITLE of the show, which is "The magical revolution"

Does this mean that Anis+Euphie will unite people against this shitty nobility+clergy and start a revolution to do what Tilty wants, to end the old system??? That would be perfect IMO. Won't be easy, but certainly better than sobbing and surrendering to fate.

This episode is kinda on the heavier side compared to the rest of the episodes in the series. Now Anis is the one being all depressed. Imma just guess that next episode they'll make a magical revolution like in the title. But still a pretty neat anime despite it.

The anime and the next episode are named "Magical Revolution", so I guess Anisphia won't just quietly accept what the nobles want from her. It might have to do with magicology that she pioneered. They could potentially try to revolutionize the country, but will surely meet with opposition from the nobles. Anisphia seems unsure what to do. She doesn't want to get rid of her hobby, marry and have children immediately.

You've hit the nail on the head. Anis' behavior in this episode didn't just come out of nowhere. It actually makes perfect sense. This all came to a head during her battle with Al when she realized how much pain he had to go through in her place after she kinda just dropped all of her responsibilities on him when they were kids. So, when you combine her guilt with her dream, her inferiority complex, her unfavorable reputation among the nobles, and the fact that Euphiesomeone she cherisheshas expressed interest in not only replacing Anis as the future queen but is even willing to give up her humanity to do so, it's no surprise that she's experiencing a slew of conflicting emotions.

A lot of folks in this thread have either not been paying attention or have completely missed the point of what was being conveyed in this episode.

The series was a solid 10 out of 10 in the second episode with chad Anis character, and now it's sliding into a pit of mediocrity with Anis as the crybaby. The way this whole political drama unfolds doesn't add anything interesting to the relationship between the two girls and ruins the show. People came here to see yuri, not dull and bland power dynamics in a cliched fantasy setting. Hopefully, this doesn't turn into another yuribait.

Yeah these last two episodes are trash. like wtf, they are assassinating anis's character completely. The last arc existed solely to teach anis not to silently take everything on herself and actually talk to the people she is trying to help, and what does she immediately do in this arc? Literally the EXACT same thing. Like, how stupid can she be? And then her crying about not having anything left makes zero sense. She has exactly what she had in the beginning of the story when she was quite happy. Her dream of magicology, her relationship with tilty, lainie, and the maid. The gratitude of the adventurers and the people whom she frequently helps and has saved their lives countless times. Like wtf is she talking about?

It makes plenty of sense for her not to want euphie to become a spirit, but her reasoning was inconsistent with her character up to this point and completely selfish.

Bitch has saved the entire kingdom not once, but twice, and personally has more power than the entire military and nobility put together, she has royal authority, and she has the will of the people. She could literally do anything she wanted. Destroy the nobility, distribute magic goods to the commoners, hell she could even dissolve the kingdom. Who could tell her otherwise? Fucking nobody. However all of sudden she "must" protect the corrupt nobles that shit on the commoners constantly because her parents like the kingdom? Even though they probably don't even like that part and the father didn't even want to become king in the first place? No. This is idiot plot. Everyone is acting dumb and out of character solely to create this shitty melodrama and I swear to god if this has a tragic ending I'm gonna beyond upset.

Fuck man, I really enjoyed this show up to this arc but they've ruined it quite impressively. At this point i don't know if I even care if Anis gets a happy ending, cause she is too stupid and selfish to deserve one.
I think you're assuming way too much, she clearly does not have the kind of power or influence you're talking about nor are the nobles just a bunch of doddering old pushovers. You're also not accounting for the difference in her circumstances, the only reason she could be the carefree adventuring princess in earlier episodes, was the fact that she was removed from all royal responsibilities, all of the burden was on Al's shoulders. It's also clear the she may have more of an inferiority complex about her lack of magic, in a world ruled by magic, than what has previously been shown. Now that the weight and responsibility of succession lies with her, I don't think it's ridiculous at all for her to demonstrate some measure of pride as the kingdom's princess or to feel anger/shame at the idea of being replaced. The fact that Euphie would have to sacrifice herself is absolutely part of that, even if it wasn't the main focal point, and it can be assumed she feels guilty about Al's circumstances, and how he suffered while she was free.

The military could not stop the dragon, anis could and then after that anis gained the dragons knowledge and power so she's even stronger than when she was already stronger than the entire nations military. You don't know what you are talking about. Who could stop her? The only person even approaching her power, is euphie, who is on her side and her vampire brother, who she beat, and is on the side of overthrowing the trash government. The military should absolutely love her, as she is the only reason they didn't die to the dragon. The people love her so much they'd be sad if she was queen solely because they couldn't see her anymore, while they despise the actual nobility for discrimination. It's all very visible during her "date" with euphie where they go to the blacksmith.

Let's look at it another way though. Let's say she remains stupid and becomes queen. What is a queen's duty? To protect her people. Who is hurting her people? The nobility. No matter what, she has to eradicate the nobility and she already has power, popular support and authority.  She was literally in a meeting with the spirit fuckers agreeing to not vastly improve the lives of her people in order to let the spirit faction retain the control they use to exploit the people.

And her responsibility. She shirked her responsibility right from the start. Yes, it had Al that it fell too, but now it would just fall to the king, who can either have another kid or adopt. Dude is also 40 and isn't ill. Theres no reason to think anything needs to be done anytime soon. She's sacrificing everything good for the sake of gaining the favor of evil people. It makes no sense for her character to do that. Not when so far she has butted into formality and taken euphie away and continued to develop magicology despite the spirit factions protests. It's just stupid and out of character. Where was the drive to prove the power of magic that she had to put her life on the line fighting the dragon? Where is her sense of justice the steeled her heart to kill her only brother for lesser crimes than the people she now supports? It's ludicrous and bad writing.

A fairly unique concept that has been gaining traction with contemporary media, but poorly executed.
The story itself is heading toward the finale, but I would be surprised if they did anything original or emotive with it.
Still not entirely boring, the characters are still fun and the story is produced at a quality level that is still engaging and enjoyable.

Hmm, I'm sad to say the past few episodes have lowered my opinion of the show. It could've been a 9 but my rating will definitely be lower by the time it ends.

Not much is going on and there's a lack of variety in setting. The characters are always just arguing and crying in some room. I echo the thoughts of everyone saying the drama feels contrived and also doesn't make much sense.

The quality in animation and voice acting are still there, but that's it... it's polished boringness. What's the point of things looking nice when nothing interesting is happening?

I think the story is going to end in a way that feels incomplete and unsatisfying. Based on this episode, I don't anticipate a good conclusion.

Feels like lost potential in a series with such lovely characters :( It wasn't the yuri fantasy story of my dreams after all

Man the last 2 eps were terrible with the unnecessary melodrama, sad cause this had the potential of being one of the better yuri series in along time.
Dont think even a kiss would salvage it for me, like that kiss would had to be the most heartfelt thing ever to do it. The lack of romantic development doesnt help too.

A lot of folks in this thread have either not been paying attention or have completely missed the point of what was being conveyed in this episode. 
To add, it's always been the case that Anis has been conscious of the words being spoken behind her back. How she concedes to her Heretic reputation, when she rescinds her right to the throne due to rumors, or even how she isolates herself by living in a detached villa. Even with her pursuit of Magicology, she holds back on bringing any of it to the public eye, not because of a lack of desire, but likely from fearing the ministry's ire. At least that's what I glimpse from the way she gets emotional seeing Euphie defend Magicology and trying to push for its acceptance. 

Now that she's back to becoming the Queen Regnant, she can't run from it anymore and all of those insecurities are coming back in full force, and Euphie implying she'd be unfit to be queen was probably a low blow for her.

No one rules alone, even to execute/imprison someone, you need someone who controls an enforcement regiment to seize that person, and people to watch over prisons and hold executions and these are managed by those under you. Imagine if you suddenly stepped into power and gave the order to kill/imprison a large majority of the nobles, do you really think they'd carry out your orders? Don't you think they'd try to depose you?

I understand the imagined myth of Kingship is someone whose words weigh absolute, but that's not the case in reality. Look at the list of kings who are deposed, sometimes within just a couple of years from when they took power. If Kings were truly absolute, we wouldn't even be able to arrive at our current state of society would we?

This episode really sums up most of this anime.
Lots of talking

Lots.

One ep left, still remains to be seen as to exactly how they're going to resolve this.
Kind of a pseudo low key cliffhanger they had for this ep.
I wish there wasn't so much dorama but oh well.

Also I wasnt expecting lainie to literally become a maid, but I guess that kinda happened now. The difference in height with ilia is kinda hilarious too.

The start of the ep being THREE MINUTES of politics really drives home the point about "muh politics". 

(I find it funny they just casually talk about the king's age and what not. Its possible I forgor but I dont think they ever specifically told us how old anis and euphy are)

The whole thing about lumi and the spirit contract is still a bit confusing but I guess they wanted to tell us/euphy that there is going to be some sacrifice if she chooses to go ahead with it. It's still not entirely clear if euphy is going to do it or not though.

Between Euphie wanting to be queen but in order to do so she'll lose all her memories, the fact that the nobles were talking so non-nonchalant about marrying Anisphia to someone (Probably old) so she could have a kid/heir, her throwing up at the idea of it.

As I see it, Anis needs her position to do research and be able to spread it once it works. Without such a position, she would be subject to harassment or worse, like heresy.

However, I don't think the series will come to a conclusion in the next episode. Cue the next season!

Some viewers would not be asking questions like "why not get a royal relative?" if the anime did a better job of showcasing how plot essential facets of society functioned in this fantasy world.

Tilty, my beloved, The only character with some semblance of common sense in this land of idiots.

Seriously, what a bad episode this one was. Unnecessarily overdramatic and with Anis acting more insufferable than ever. Her now caring about her royal status feels forced asf and the same goes for her currently feeling "useless" when she clearly didn't give a shit about any of these matters at the beginning of the show. Like, "useless"? She killed a damn dragon mid season ffs.
And hell, what's wrong with her father? Does he even know where he's standing? Why is the King being so useless and stupid?

First of all i just want to say that i liked every episode to this point but...


this felt really weird, i felt like this whole drama topic does make sense after the last episodes, but the reactions of the characters felt kind of forced and out of character "just for the Drama's sake".
I am a bit biased because of my wishes how they'll develope their relationship. nonetheless was this one imo not really fitting, Drama has to be there, and i like the way they portrayed their Emotions, and how they explained it in the story, but i didnt feel like it was really fitting their character/the believes or rather ways of thinking they had in the last 10 episodes. But Really, i dont want to get mad at a random story, but anis is triggering real anger in me in this episode especially towards the end. I really hope they save this somehow in the next episode beause they've proven they can write good stories in the last 10 episodes but pls dont let this be another Wonder egg priority cases, where they just ruin good setup.

I think you're assuming way too much, she clearly does not have the kind of power or influence you're talking about nor are the nobles just a bunch of doddering old pushovers. You're also not accounting for the difference in her circumstances, the only reason she could be the carefree adventuring princess in earlier episodes, was the fact that she was removed from all royal responsibilities, all of the burden was on Al's shoulders. It's also clear the she may have more of an inferiority complex about her lack of magic, in a world ruled by magic, than what has previously been shown. Now that the weight and responsibility of succession lies with her, I don't think it's ridiculous at all for her to demonstrate some measure of pride as the kingdom's princess or to feel anger/shame at the idea of being replaced. The fact that Euphie would have to sacrifice herself is absolutely part of that, even if it wasn't the main focal point, and it can be assumed she feels guilty about Al's circumstances, and how he suffered while she was free.

The military could not stop the dragon, anis could and then after that anis gained the dragons knowledge and power so she's even stronger than when she was already stronger than the entire nations military. You don't know what you are talking about. Who could stop her? The only person even approaching her power, is euphie, who is on her side and her vampire brother, who she beat, and is on the side of overthrowing the trash government. The military should absolutely love her, as she is the only reason they didn't die to the dragon. The people love her so much they'd be sad if she was queen solely because they couldn't see her anymore, while they despise the actual nobility for discrimination. It's all very visible during her "date" with euphie where they go to the blacksmith.

Let's look at it another way though. Let's say she remains stupid and becomes queen. What is a queen's duty? To protect her people. Who is hurting her people? The nobility. No matter what, she has to eradicate the nobility and she already has power, popular support and authority.  She was literally in a meeting with the spirit fuckers agreeing to not vastly improve the lives of her people in order to let the spirit faction retain the control they use to exploit the people.

And her responsibility. She shirked her responsibility right from the start. Yes, it had Al that it fell too, but now it would just fall to the king, who can either have another kid or adopt. Dude is also 40 and isn't ill. Theres no reason to think anything needs to be done anytime soon. She's sacrificing everything good for the sake of gaining the favor of evil people. It makes no sense for her character to do that. Not when so far she has butted into formality and taken euphie away and continued to develop magicology despite the spirit factions protests. It's just stupid and out of character. Where was the drive to prove the power of magic that she had to put her life on the line fighting the dragon? Where is her sense of justice the steeled her heart to kill her only brother for lesser crimes than the people she now supports? It's ludicrous and bad writing.
I agree, the rules for rulers break down when the destructive power of the ruler is equal to or above that of the rest of the army. Annihilating the keys that do not fall in line is a viable strategy.
