THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
A bit of the Hortensian folklore, and is just like Granblue Fantasy when it comes to the feels. Now remind me why I've dropped off from the latter show so early.

The real vs. fake princesses "Marius" Marielle vs. Marie, considering the situation with the real princess, revealing her identity NOW would be cumbersome at this stage. And since we're halfway there, just let the plot linger awhile longer.

I absolutely love the stunned face of Marius's when Marielle Marie gives off a totally different personality, something akin to an idol-like figure. Of course, the Ecclesiastical Order Orthodox Church conducting a witch hunt, it's no wonder news travels fast, far and beyond. What started as mere child's play, turned into something big that cannot be overturned easily. But the truth of the fact must be mentioned so as not to sacrifice anymore lives.

The sisters Elva and Thalia coming back to wreak havoc, that's a given. But there was an ounce of mystery from that lame game...

oh this was a pretty nice one-episode story, feel bad for mariel having to hide her identity and even having to lie to the fake princess at the end was really sad... also, those annoying brats appearing again lol.

At the halfway point for this show and getting to the identity issues that Marius aka the real princess has. Should she reveal to everyone now or wait and see if there's a better moment. This episode seems like it focuses on the new characters from this island our heroes are on to investigate the tale of the princess being there. But it actually is about how Marius aka real princess Marielle feels having to hide so much from the people she's closest with. Luckily at least Maurice knows about her being the princess so she has someone to confide in at least a bit. Alfred feeling that there's no good reason for someone to hide who they are he's gonna have a shock later for sure once he sees who's Marius really is. I thought it would happen this episode but I suppose we'll get there later.

Little did she know that she was talking to the Princess Marielle herself.

Every time the twins appear in a episode, I forget the episode story and hope someone would already kill one or both.
But the episode ended,Marius as Marius, twins alive.
Was a kinda filler episode,because I felt gone to nowhere.

When you take your little princess game a bit too far...you'll eventually become burdened. Well nice to see the situation resolve in a somewhat peaceful manner.

This series has a huge lost potential. The first episode was very good and it captured my interest but then suddenly everything started going downhill, at least for me

This anime's character design is very pretty. I am so glad it ended with no one dieing. I honestly thought Jim was going to die. So something/a spell saved Marius.

Folkstale among the Hortensian, which already knew by Marius, suddenly appeared as a reality after encountering such a fake idol-like princess and the later incident in those Juin island. I thought its a metaphor between Marie and his childhood boyfriend. But, well, suddenly, a giant stone turned out into the real one, whose protect its 'real' princess. Its not so shabby if that thing became a real deal with that kind of touching feel in the end. Afterall, the twins just served as a living device to move the plot along that pretty straight-forward story. Well, well...

Marie was also not so annoying after all, and preserved only to let Marius knew, that there was always people like her which always supported her decision as a disguised princess. The promise has been made by those two pretty girls, about their suffers, their different burdens, and reunited it into one big feeling. Soon, it may conclude the big revelations, among the Hortensian....

Those guys are hearing all Harem Protagonists combined in terms of density by not realising that Marius is a girl.

This is one of better episode, I enjoyed it but for every wrong reason. How stupid these peoples can be?

But gotta say Kugimiya Rie is pretty convincing as villains (this and re zero this season).
I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die.

Good episode, I kinda wished that Marius would have revealed herself this episode but it's fine, at least they're building up to it. Marius's reactions to fake Marielle was hilarious, honestly really like Marius though and Maurice.

Another top tier seiyuus in this episode (Shizuka Itou for Marie and Toshiyuki Morikawa for Jim)
Seriously... Too awesome. Also I heard KugRie again so I am happy.

Nice to see that little story telling in the beginning actually paid off in the end with that golem saving the real princess.

Looking forward to more eps.

I was hoping that Marius would reveal who she is but I guess the time hasn't come yet.

The statue moved because Marius is actually the Princes.

It seems that Alfred and other characters are still questioning the veracity of the old Hortensian lore stories...

The princess game went a little too far. It's sad that Marie didn't know she was talking to the real Marielle.

So a fake Marielle appears, she was quite amusing. Her backstory was nice. Due to her revealing the truth things were going out of hand but thnx to Alfred and the gang it didn't turn into a mess. Also the real giant appeared to save the real princess, that was nice.

And here I was hoping the anime would get better. Stupid me for getting my hopes up.
I watched five episodes and was bored, just finished ep six and got pissed. I am dropping this here and now. It's pretty but that's not enough to redeem it.

It was real funny how the real princess is dying inside seeing fake princess.

It was nice the two told the truth and apologized and they were forgiven. All is well. But I don't think its the right time to reveal the real princess' identity.

It was shown that the female in this series will get embarrassed when in contact with male.

Everyone sees Marius as a man and Marius is holding hand with Marie and theirs face are so close and yet none of them feel weird between those 2.

What logic?
