| Awkward, too fast pacing. Didn't really see the attachment between Nike and the boy. ~wanted more of her sassiness, to be sure. Nevertheless, it was still really sweet, and I'm looking forward to next week! |
| Ah, that song was really beautiful~ Nike's voice is lovely. |
  |
| Not bad at all, although I feel like this show will be more enjoyable if I marathon it... Anyway, looking forward to the next episode. Zealot said: Wait, so she summons the rain with J-pop? LOL |

As said in his character profile form the JP wiki: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%81%9D%E3%82%8C%E3%81%A7%E3%82%82%E4%B8%96%E7%95%8C%E3%81%AF%E7%BE%8E%E3%81%97%E3%81%84 即位して僅か3年で世界征服を果たした世界王だが、まだ11歳の少年。 He has only been on the throne for three years but has managed to conquer the entire world, but he is still an 11 year old boy. I'd say Nike is anywhere from 16~21 though. He's 15. It says so in Chapter 13 of the manga http://mangafox.me/manga/soredemo_sekai_wa_utsukushii/v03/c013/17.html |

| Nice episode.... |

Shuhan said: So that rain put out a fire that was inside a building? wot Lol yeah that did cross my mind when that scene occurred, but I guess the author didn't realize that that didn't make much sense. |
| I dig this anime. It's actually my favorite of the season so far. Then again, I like relationships with older dependable girls who can actually look after the guy as well, instead of being tsundere loli cry babies only good for fan service. They need more of this. Ugh, I don't care for the music at all, but I don't hate it either. The episode didn't feel rushed at all to me. She called the rain I'd guess because of how strong her feelings were, to show him the world is beautiful. Not that much really happened. Assassination attempt on king, king cracks down on enemies, enemies get ticked off and try to kill him again. Meh. I guess in other anime that would take a good season or four. |

Shuhan said: So that rain put out a fire that was inside a building? wot ^this. also the singing was kinda cheese. Other than that it was a pretty good episode. A glimpse at the king's personality. Nike will probably be his catalyst for character development. Also their differences in personality will likely clash with one another. Looking forward to how that plays out. It seems like Nike will play an advisory role in the political affairs of the kingdom. |

| Guys....not to much of a spoiler but I found out that Livius' age is Idk there are so many assumptions but I'll just stick to that for now...cuz the voice fits D: |

| Stfu elders. Nike is kawaii!! Who's with me? |
| "There's no shame in falling down... true shame is to not stand up again!" "Aah? Of course I won't miss!" "My blood tastes like Iron." "Run through the tape in life! Never give up! Run through the tape!" |
| Guns N' Roses - November Rain lejon_brames said: Think I'm going to drop this show. Shotacon + generic shoujo romance (douche-y male who secretly has a heart of gold and the sassy female) Though I probably wont drop it, it still feels weird. Lets see how it goes. |
| great episode. lots of cute parts~ nice character development for the chibi king...(well until that arrow...) beautiful singing~ xD |
( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ |
| Argh! I think they need to change directors maybe. The transition between scenes and the build-up to the climax was very poorly done. -headpalm- I liked her on the tower singing though, that was rather grand! (With English lyrics to put out a measly fire. Woot....) Generic shoujo...? But the girl can stand on her own and makes the guy run for his money. There's no crying, she's not a wuss, and she's changing the guy. C'mon, give her a break. I think this is sweet if not anything else. I don't see it developing too much romantically, but I like her idea of a sibling-like relationship. Until he grows up, that's a different story. :P |
| Besides the off pacing and weird song she sung, it was an enjoyable episode. The way they've drawn Nike and Livius makes the age gap seem really big, it gets a little creepy at times. Also rain putting out an indoor fire... makes sense... |

| The start of this episode was promising, which surprised me since I thought the first episode was incredibly lacklustre, but it quickly descended into a ~*~fixing this wounded boy~*~ story and... ew. They're always so boring and grimace-worthy, especially when there's a "fill the hole in his heart!" aspect. What was I thinking? Of course we can't just have a cynical guy that's cynical because he wants to be. I'll wait it out, but without the banter that made the start of the episode good... yeah, this looks like it'll be a disappointment. |
| I thought I was the only one who thought that the pacing wasn't good. Anyway, I'm more interested in this than most of the shows I'm currently following this season. I liked the song! (Although it was sorta cheesy) |

| Wow that was a great episode. Song was good, but somehow starting out with "Tender Rain" in English didn't fit my image of a "ritual" song. |
| The kid king is a badass & that ending is so beautifull. I'm really liking this anime a lot & i haven't enjoy any shoujo anime since tenshi na konamaiki. |

| Great episode. I'm really enjoying this show. Both the Nike and the sun King are really awesome characters so far. |
 |
| Perverted elders XD They remind me of the elders from Outbreak Company :P "Has not escaped..." Lol That hairband looks like a fancy pair of earmuffs :/ This kid kind of reminds me of Ciel Phantomhive. Nike is very lucky that arrow wasn't poisoned. Beautiful song, scene, and rainbow. I have to say I seriously wasn't expecting her to summon rain on the 2nd episode. I'm glad I'm watching this anime and I hope it keeps this pace up :D |
| i felt like it was the finally episode for this anime it was a great episode. |
| This chapter is full of laughter and tears. Nice song. |
| I thought the OP was a bit weird and boring last week, but now that they've added the other characters it's actually pretty nice. Decent episode, part with the arrow was a bit overly dramatic (also I guess the assassin had only one arrow?) And I was hoping she'd summon the rain with a nice prayer song, I thought the pop song was a bit awkward. I am curious about the king, he can be really cold (and creepy?) but he's done great things for the people in his kingdom it seems. |
| Rare to see such a good shoujo like this recently. The song was beautiful~ |
| Livius already seems sadistic, jerky and bratty. I hope this doesn't involve romance, but them being bro/sis. I like their relationship but romantically? Don't think so. I already like Nike, teach that brat a lesson! The show is starting to grow on me as I thought it would. This episode was pretty good but it still lacks something... The animation in the 2nd half was bland. Great song in the end, the girl has got vocals! The ED song's animation is so unneeded... Like the song though. |

Shuhan said: So that rain put out a fire that was inside a building? wot LOOOL probably there was a hole on the ceiling;P Certainly the artwork is terrible comparing to its manga counterpart, the songs are cheesy and story is no big deal, but I do like the protagonists because they are definitely not from a typical shoujo. She is older than him and behaves like a child but she can take her responsabilities well like an adult, while he is Ciel Phantomhive soft version, a kiddo forced to grow up and mature for the sake of his kingdom. Its an unusual couple but I love them. The kiddo is not evil, he is just lonely, also i dont see why so many people are complaining about his age. Its not like they consumated their marriage, that would probably happen when he is an adult. Probably no one would complain if he was a loli instead of a shouta.... |

| Nike's voice/song makes up the whole episode. More Nike and Livius moments please? |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| This anime feels like a movie. Very good :) |
 |
| Delightful again! A little cheeseballs, but it's fine. Things have moved quickly so I wonder what will happen next. Maybe more expanding interaction with the world later? |
rfv14 said: think of them as sister and brotherand pls spoil me about one thing: will the king ever get older? I like both the king and the princess, but together they give me creeps, so I don't know if I should continue to watch this? |

| That whispering voice...that whispering voice...ahhh :D! Nike's like a breath of fresh air. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| I really liked the episode~ Just that, in the manga, the song had a more traditional/folkloric feel And now in the anime there's this pop song with English in it and the instruments I wished it would be more a capella or at least a more traditional feeling |
| "There's a law which says that when an otaku meets another otaku who shares a minor interest, they will become good friends right away." ~Houou Gakuen Misoragumi (Ch.4) "There’s something in this world that no one has seen before. It is gentle and sweet. Maybe if it could be seen, everyone would fight over it. That’s why no one has ever seen it. The world hid it so that no one could get their hands on it easily. However, someday, someone will find it. The person who deserved it the most will definitely find it." ~Toradora |
| The emo chibi king is pro! LOL @ Nike: "I will kill him and fillet him and eat him!" |
gamer2710 said: Is it me or is the sound quality for the voices kind of bad? I agree. Though what usually ends up happening is that i will grow accustomed to it eventually >.< ^ if i stay with the anime that is lol Nice music Oh and they kinda screwed up :o Whenever there's a rainbow, there will be a double rainbow o.o |

| Surprise of the season right here. Nike singing at the end was indeed beautiful! I'm really looking forward to seeing more of this series. |
 |
| Beautiful. From Nike's interaction with the king to the song that called the rain. How to put it.. this is The Pilot's Love Song done right I suppose. Let's hope it gets better. Now it's still a little cheesy and predictable but I can live with that. |
 |
| Mmh better than the first episode, but the song for the rain thing I find it pretty bad.. Nice, by the way. |
| This episode was so much better than the first one. Really like how it's mostly serious. Great song at the end. |

And he's 11. I'll take a the Japanese wiki as a more reliable source than a fan scanlation of the manga. (He doesn't even look close to 15!) |
| As opposed to the everyone's (or so it seems) opinion, I actually really love Livi's voice! It fits so well with his character (especially when he's in Lelouch-mode XD) and doesn't sound too mature at all. Also Nike's song wasn't exactly what I imagined it to be while reading the manga (I had hoped for it to be a little more celtic-like instead of a generic J-Pop), but I guess it's ok. Only the english lyrics are kind of a weird choice, considering the medieval/fantasy setting ^^" And to reassure some doubters - I usually don't like series with relationships between younger male and older female, but Soderemo Sekai is an honorable exception :D The romance here is just so cute and fitting, that I recommend every fan of love-stories to give it a chance ^^ |
