| what a sad story almost made me tear but i was prepared |
 |
| Oooh, I had a good feeling about this, and I already love it! |
  |
| Shojo/Josei stans we are eating so good as of late. Been waiting for this adaptation for years now and Netflix clearly out a substantial amount of money into this. It looks unbelievably beautiful. Probably the best looking of any Kinema Citrus show. Our introduction to Miyo and her home life is brutal. Heavy shades of Cinderella and Fruits Basket in this. I really want to see that sister of hers suffer the most unimaginably painful death because she is a massive bitch. Knowing full well your sister likes that guy and gleefully tearing them apart 🤢 and fuck the dad too for letting that woman talk shit about his dead wife and his daughter. I’d imagine that the dad probably married into a higher ranked family which is why the wife gets to boss him around much without him saying anything. The montage of Miyo’s upbringing, her mom’s death and visiting that tree stump reminded me so much of Tohru from Furuba. She’s such a kind and pure soul and deserves nothing but happiness. As my mom says, “people do things for evil and it turns out to be a blessing”. Them sending her away to another family looks like it’ll be the best thing they’ve ever given her. We really might be witnessing the birth of a modern classic here. So hype |

| that was a really sad first episode. i just don't understand how anyone could treat their kid like that, especially one as sweet and kind-hearted as miyo. i feel so bad for kouji too. being forced to marry someone he hates. and that someone he hates is the sister of the person he loves. really just driving the nail through the coffin with that. she was right though about kiyoka being beautiful. i hope he treats her super well and it makes her family mad that the infamous cold hearted man ended up falling for her. |

| Judging by how upbeat the servants were, I feel like Kudou can't be all as bad as he seems. I'm sure he's a nice guy deep down. Rip Kujou. Miyo has gotten the better man! It seems Miyo's Dad did care for her when she was younger. Maybe the new wife and daughter made him change his tune. Looking forward to seeing where this goes~ |
| Never thought I'd would hate a character voiced by Ayane Sakura this much, but it happened. Kaya just gets on my nerves so much. Feel really, really bad for Miyo. She had such a shitty childhood. Her stepmom and half sister hating her is understandable (as the story was aiming for a Cinderella-esque approach), but the fact that her father treats her like a servant is just too much. Its sad how they tried to wipe out any traces of her mom's existence, like cutting of that tree and throwing away all the clothes that Miyo had. Her only hope was Koji with whom she could smile and be happy, but even that was taken away from her, as he got engaged to her shitty sis. Good thing that she got away from her home, but whether she would find happiness with Kiyoka Kudo, time will tell. She definitely was charmed by him (He's such an ikemen and Kaito Ishikawa's voice makes him even hotter). |
| There's literally nothing stopping you from doing so at the end of the season when they would have released all 12 episodes at once[/quote]Just like there is nothing stopping people from watching one episode a week even when the entire series drop at once. See how that works.[/quote] Sure, except one is waiting 3 months by preference, the other is waiting 3 months by force |
| Had to pull out the tissues already. I forsee this will torture me every week waiting for the next episode...it's so good like movie-quality (so far, in my opinion) |

Firechick12012 said: True. Just a correction for RealNath, Kouji's dad said "Kazushi" not "Kiyoka". I don't know if it's spoilers, but you can just look at the character list on Kazushi's family name.RealNath said: As someone who's read the light novels, all I can tell you without spoiling things is that he's not actually doing it because he actually cares about Miyo or wants to get her with Koji, but because he has his own agenda.I have a question tho. Why did Kouji's dad tell Miyo's dad to have Miyo engaged with Kiyoka? Since he (Kouji's dad) wants to fulfill his son's wish for Miyo to be happy, why did he doubled the work instead of just engaging him with Miyo? |
 |
| Correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is the first time Netflix releases a simulcast with its dub on the same day They upped their game! I wish they did this for Vinland Saga too |
| Kaya's blondness really stood out and made me wonder what the heck was going on, but I think the new mother is intended to be European, so she might be bringing blonde genes in that way...? I doubt she's been dying her hair since she was a toddler, lol. it's a pretty basic cinderella story so far, so I wonder how it'll stand out. |
 |
| What an emotional draining episode. She could not catch a break after her mom died. Her dad treated her like a stranger her step mom and sister made her into their maid and treated her like trash for no reason. Well the good news is when you're at your lowest there's no where to go but up from here on out. |
| I feel bad for Kouji he really did like Miyo now he'll have to deal with her annoying af sister. |
 |
| i really like this anime so far. the art is so pretty! it's nice to hear a familiar voice for miyo. reina ueda was def a good choice for her va. i can't wait to get more of this anime! also, what really ticked me off is how miyo's family treats her like a servant and calls her the "embarrassment" of the family just because she has a different mother from her sister. like why do people treat the child as if it's their fault for being born??? |
| now that was a really good first episode, even better than i thought. netflix with the W damn. this is definitely gonna becomes one of my favorites of the season. visuals looked great, music was nice, i don't mind the cinderella story at all, the historical setting reminds me a lot of 'the handmaiden', and i'm gonna look forward to this every week. |
 |
| I enjoyed this more than I thought. Hopefully he can fix her from all the trauma she has been through with that dogshit family. Especially the dad for doing nothing, what kind of father would let their daughter be treated like this?? Hopefully they get what they deserve in the future. |
 |
| This is sad yet pretty common for high class folks... Like they would only think about the future of their family that they can be blind to the current time. Like their eye only set for the future far beyond what they currently living. |
| i'm really looking forward to this anime. based on the novel's response, i think it's my most anticipated this season. so far the anime itself looks beautiful and they've done a good job showing emotion through color, the scene between her and koji was painful. the voice acting also seems so delicate and purposeful which i like. 10/10 episode in my opinion. i hope it can pan out to be a 10/10 series. |
 |
| So it's basically a Japanese Cinderella story, right? Lovely visuals, I already felt angry for her since it's clear the parents have a golden child and it's not her. I wonder why all the other fiancee's ran off from the handsome ML. |
 |
| Miyo Saimori is one of those unfortunate children only meant for an arranged marriage... This dad does not even care if the dude who will have her have bad rumours. All he wants is some connection with them. Considering this is a shoujo anime I can expect that the main dude actually nice. He just let all the girls who doesn't love him go. |
| I'm getting big Fruits Basket vibes from this. From the final scene I can tell this will be about the mc's growth under her new husband. If she married the other guy there wouldn't be a story to tell. |
| Interesting. I thought it might be average but it seems quite promising. Can't wait for next episode! |

| A very good start in my opinion. The scenery and music are fitting the atmosphere perfectly *-*. It was an amazing first episode and first meeting of the two main characters. No matter how I look at it I'll always dislike Miyo's family... (well, needless to say). I feel like Miyo looks a little different from the manga here but I don't have any complaints about it. I'm looking forward to future episodes and seeing their relationship blossom <3 |
You're the light shining over The black and gloomy nights So long I've been waiting To run into your arms Oh, my only one desire You're the one I need Through the thousand years ~ Evermore "Midnight Sun" by AleXa |
| I see lots of potential in this anime look forward to the next ep. Those Family members of Miyo are a bunch of stupid Frickin asssholes, she doesn't deserve that type of treatment at all given the kind and sweet person she is, she deserves all the happiness and love that that guy could give her... |
| So far so good. That part of flashback when she was still a child, then lost her mom, her dad remarried, and she become a servant, ngl that was sad and I almost teared up for some reason.... |
 |
| Damn, feel sad the way they treated Miyo. Screw this family. I hope she gets some type of revenge or she stands up to them at some point. |
