| Streamed on AbemaTV today. Out of the cast so far, Philia and Mia looks are highlighted the most in terms of their appearance. Between some of the silly and serious moments, I do find the character chemstry kinda amusing. I dislike that prince though, especially for the engagement breakoff. Feels like he has a huge ego. Philia's personality needs a lot of development as she seems more reserved than others. It's a fine setup for a lot more storytelling for rest of the season. |

| ABEMA Early Airing. Novelist Koki Fuyutsuki's series in the latest trend of "kicked off from the hero's party (or in this case, her own kingdom)" trope, I don't know what to think about it but is definitely an occurrence here. The word around is that every country needs at least a woman saint to drive back monsters, and Saint Philia Adenauer is the greatest saint of all time being the 28th Saint...except that she doesn't smile as compared to her younger sister, the 29th Saint of Mia, in the Kingdom of Girtonia. This is causing a lot of conflict for her monotone behaviour against people and her family, because she wasn't being loved the same way as Mia does, having worked just as hard as her other sister but only for her fruits to not reap at all. Philia's engagement to Girtonia's 2nd prince Julius, only makes the matter worse no thanks to her accomplishments. While Mia is happily being received by the townsfolk, Julius deciding to cancel his engagement to Philia and go for her younger sister instead, the corroboration with her own parents to sell her off to the nearby neighbouring country of Parnacorta, they really never saw any value or worth trying to raise her to their standards, and instead just straight up abandoned her to find happiness elsewhere. As Philia questions her worth, her reaching the gates of Parnacorta...only to have a massive greeting awaiting her, dumbfounded as she looks, but her life will change from here on out. Better stay away from your immediate family Philia, you're better off in Parnacorta. |

| Phillia's parents: One of the worst parents of the year contenders. Phillia, you don't need to care about that dumb prince, your former kingdom of Ziltonia, or your dumbshit parents. Let's sit and watch the Ziltonia Kingdom together with that dumb prince gets destroyed by the monsters. A better life awaits you in Parnacotta. |

| Philia had a rough upbringing, with her parents playing favorites. I can’t really tell what Mia’s true colors are—is she truly a sweet girl who admires Philia, or does she secretly loathe her? I’m glad Philia got away from Prince Julius—he never saw her worth. And yeah, she was sold, but honestly, it’s for the best. I’m sure her kingdom will regret losing her once they start suffering without all the things she used to do for them. I’m really interested in how the story will play out—can’t wait for the next episode! |

| Also up on Crunchyroll if you’re wondering but MAL won’t let us update the list.. It’s been a while since an anime premiere made me this angry. I’m absolutely fuming. Every character in this is a piece of shit and Philia deserves so much better. Sweetest thing ever. Ishikawa Yui was truly born to play these beautiful, mysterious, damaged and aloof characters. I’m already in love with Philia. She’s such a sweetheart and her not smiling would just make me want to learn more about her rather than selling her off or being cruel to her. My stomach was churning for the entire episode length because how tf you gonna complain about your kid not smiling when you’ve never given her a reason to. Never shown her any love or care other than comparing her to her sister and putting her down. I’m wondering if the younger sister knows about the abuse tho because she seems like Philia’s biggest stan and I struggle to believe she’d be ok with her family abusing her big sister in her name. It’s one thing for ONE of the parents to be abusive, like I could see the mom being jealous of her daughter but having BOTH parents be evil pieces of shit is crazy. I NEED the prince to die a very brutal death as well, can tell he’s going to be a real piece of work and probably even try to kill the dad. Ugh, this was just a hard to watch first episode. It’s one thing to be nasty, but it seems like everyone just wanted to be cruel for the sake of cruelty to her. Inviting her to the palace just to dump her, bringing both parents.. they wanted to break Philia. Hats off to the actor for eliciting this sort of reaction already. It looks like the new kingdom is already treating her 100x better than the old one did. I can’t wait to see the start of her new life. Kinda gettting some Hoshinina vibes from this one. I’m looking forward to more! |

It's really trendy now for the protagonist to be expelled, and it's happening with female characters too. I found it unfair what they did to her just because she didn't show the affections worthy of a Saint, like smiling and such. The prince was already a bastard, but he doesn’t even compare to her parents—two pieces of trash who didn’t hesitate to sell her and only thought about themselves, not about her sister, who will probably be sad when she finds out. Possibly, Philia will have a happy life in the other kingdom, so it’s both advantageous and disadvantageous for her. |
| I'm feeling some vibes similar to those on My Happy Marriage, which I really enjoy. At least I can watch it on Crunchyroll and not on Netflix 👍🏻 I don't know what it is with Japanese and horses. They always depict them so well, highly detailed.  Philia being received like a queen didn't mean the world to her. It meant the whole universe!  |
| ©2025 LaczPro What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway). And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea). |
| The show is perfectly constructed to have us root for Philia and hate the prince. No shades of grey, it's clear cut. He is so cartoonishly evil and I find this very boring and cheaply written. But I do enjoy Philias inner thoughts and want to see how she'll interact with the blonde guy. |
| Nice prologue. I have a hunch that the nice blonde at the end is actually Parnacorta's prince, he also seems a lot nicer than Girtonia's one. Dunno why Philia's parents hated her so much, to the point it was almost unrealistic, but nonetheless, hope she finds salvation in Parnacorta, in opposed to Girtonia where the only person who treated her well was Mia. Bit curious about how Mia's reaction to the situation is, since her adorable big sister just got kicked out, so i'm surprised they didn't know how she would react, since i was curious to know if she really loved her big sister or if she's actually a two-faced snake, but whatever, we might figure that out in the upcoming episode. |
| I just forwarded through the 2nd half during the scene with the prince and the parents; It's so stupidly predictable. Shouldn't have taken that long. I don't have an issue with the protag's 'emotionless' situation, or the cliche loving, bubbly, sister, or the 'Knight in shining armor' coming to the rescue of the damsel in distress. But I sure as heck have a great problem with the villains of the story being so freakin' cheap. It won't be interesting to follow the journey of the MC if the obstacles are just a bunch of villain-for-the-sake-of-villain for no interesting or creative reason at all. At least the prince has the classic greed and selfish reasons for it, but the parents?... just straight up hating, like a spell has been casted on them or something. Good aesthetics though, and the OST as well. I'll apply the "3 Episode Rule" since I'm curious if there will be hints of the sister secretly plotting the MC's current predicament all along, and the MC being a saint for a new empire might also provide some interesting stuff. |

| Well, that prince is an idiot... What remains to be seen is whether his so-called advisors are just using him for their own profit or they're the same kind of idiots similar to the other idiot prince's buddies in Gate. And don't even get me started on her parents... |
 |
| This was one of my most anticipated animes of the season, no reason really it just looked interesting and so far no disappointments. It done what it needed to setting up the plot, characters and giving us a general idea of the world plus giving us a character to follow who seems interesting to watch grow. So far the three characters who seem to be taking centre stage are Philia, Mia and the blonde guy from the other kingdom. Philia has every right to be the way she is tbh working so hard to earn her families approval and being shunned just because she cant put on a proper bright smile a saint should have. Sure the show has some pretty stereotypical villain types of characters but Its fine really. Idk if Mia would actually want to marry the prince perhaps she don't see his bad side. She seems to be the only character right now who actually cares for Philia so hopefully she stays the course. I really like the art style its very similar and the show overall is very similar to Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence. Very strong start to the anime for me. |
| I already know where this is going but the animation is so smooth that I can't stop watching it!!! |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| I will say this, after reading a certain number of chapters of the manga, I think this is a masterpiece. |
| That was a fun first episode, sure everyone on that kingdom was comically evil but still fuck them, all I hope is that Mia is actually nice and loves her sister and that we don't have the "she was evil and the mastermind all along" twist. |
| Shoelacer settings are spreading to shoujo...lol, not complaining. Call it Otome-Aparida, or Otome-Beast Tamer. Yui "FGO Morgan & Violet Evergarden" Ishikawa doing emotionally damaged polite cutie again, good. Thats a typecast I can stand by. Can some manga/Novel pals give some spoilers (ofc, tagged, please) on Mia? Is she a Green Tea Bitch/White Lotus-type shoujo villain, or she genuinely loves her sister and is clueless about her souless abusive family? And IF the second, how bad she's gonna react to her big sister exiling? Try to escape/run (and succeed)? Do a scene and scream accusations in a official party, with lots of testimonies to sink 2nd prince and her famly social standing? Take advantage of her popularity to overthrow the royals? Just sulk in helpless depression? At least try to contatc Philia, to see if she's living a nicer life? |

| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |
| Nothing going on here. One and out |
Reply to FrostyWeebNutz
More comically evil and badly written "villains" to drive cheap conflict.. yay..
| @FrostyWeebNutz I hear you. The amount of really bad writing just in the first episode turned me off too. The mid artwork and some crap animation didn't help either. VAs weren't noteworthy nor was the direction. Looks like yet another self-insert shoujo. |
| another Cinderella waits for her prince to come to rescue. well, at least the art is very charming ... |
| I'm scratching my head to find any sense of logic in any of this. Phillia pretty much protects the region from monsters, brings rain to the farmers, produces healing formulaes, but not a single soul in this sh*thole has any kind of gratitude towards the pillar that keeps the status quo in check? I could understand that at least a few of them aren't selfish douches, but a whole country? And all that just because she can't smile? The Prince's reasoning for selling the golden goose makes no sense either. "We have 2 saints, we only need 1". What the fruck? It's not like you're paying a huge salary to Philia that exchanging her for money would surpass all the benefits she's giving to your country. He could have gotten even more money by "leasing her" sending her as a hero for hire to regions where they don't have a saint or need the extra support with monster, farming issues and what not. The good looking guy asking who was the most famous girl in the region was obviously going to be the prince of a nearby country. They really didn't even try to make it more subtle. This is like some cinderella knockoff mixed with last season's "My Happy Marriage" but at least that other anime had more charming characters. I'll watch one more episode out of pure morbid curiosity, but I seriously don't think this will get any better writting wise. CrazyButNot4U said: I already know where this is going but the animation is so smooth that I can't stop watching it!!! What animation? It was the most basic slideshow with tons of chibi skits. I swear people in here wouldn't know what animation stands for even if MIyazaki would pull out the sock puppets to teach these peeps. |

| OK, so she turned this barren kingdom into a wealthy nation and made everyone's lives better. But she doesn't smile so she's a terrible person. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense - LOL I haven't read the source, but it's pretty easy to assume what happens next: |

| Pretty good prologue, i'm kinda curious what will happen with Mia... |
| First off, who chose to end the episode with that bright ass, solid white credits roll? Trying to blind their viewers, I suppose. There was a lot here that was pretty bad. The cartoonishly villainous parents and fiance. She did nothing except help the people and is regarded as the greatest saint, but everyone hates her because the plot needs it to, I guess. Even the peasants or commoners hate her and were trying to screw her over with impossible tasks? Ok. The little kid was afraid of her because she didn't smile while she said nice things? I like how they tried to make her face seem scary or something, but it just looked perfectly normal. That kid is a pansy, lol. I can understand that the people would enjoy talking to Mia more, but to outright hate Philia made no sense. Based on how the episode ended, I'm guessing Philia's life is going to drastically change and this new kingdom will appreciate her. She will have discovered an amazing new life, but her sister is trapped in a hellish existence on the other side. So, she will end up trying to save her as the main plot. I would actually be down for that, if that is the case. I kind of like the art style, to be honest. Reminds me of oil paintings or water colors. I like both designs for the sisters, as well. The animation looked pretty good in the scene when they had the wind blowing her hair as the sakura petals danced around her. Other than that though, it was not great. The CG horses were particularly awful. They would give the Spice & wolf horse a run for its money, lol. I kind of hoped there would not be a handsome prince waiting for her on the other side of the gate, but of course there was. I will stick around if this ends up being a sibling rescue story. Probably not otherwise. Every character aside from the sisters was pretty hard to watch. |
 |
| Nobody is gonna mention, that a badass, emotionless girl, carries her own luggage, is voiced by Yui Ishikawa and has VIOLET hair? |
 |
| This is a very promising anime. I think it's going to be one of the best this season. Hate those snobby folks. |
 |
| Clearly, you need a healthy dose of suspension of disbelief in order to tolerate the premise, as the exaggerations are pretty extreme. Feminists would surely agree that Philia could be viewed as arrogant given her extreme proficiency and lack of smile or feminine warmth, but it's a little too simplistic. Of course, I don't really mind the cartoonishly evil antagonists and barely believable premise, as these are staples of the genre, and going above and beyond, like the currently airing "Intergalactic Prince of an Evil Empire" (or something) doesn't necessarily make that any better. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| Wow, just wow. I hope with all my heart Girtonia, the country of assholes collapses without Philia propping it up. |
