Anyways that was rushed as hell, probably the most rushed episode so far.


Well thanks now I know who this guy was and why I didn't care at all about his death.
Yeah it's an anime about war, let's kill some NPC we don't know to make things look serious.

Besides the fact that it was rushed for some reason when it has 2-cours to work with, the actual battles & negotiations are pretty well-done.

And what's with the ending confusing people? It was just Theo not willing to give up Siluca over to the Earl of Artuk(which was the price of him becoming the King of Savis and therefore a direct ally to the earl)and since for refusing his generous offer would be disrespectful, he requests that he instead just keeps his knight rank and serves at the earl's court as compromise ~ His knight rank being enough to keep Siluca as his contracted mage.

This anime has the pacing of a music video.

The only good thing is that hoop that the mage-girl wears on her back during combat. It makes me think she must have some kind of spinal deformity that is only kept in place by that prosthetic.
...but then again, I unironically like Warau Salesman.

I'm staying for the theo x siluca, but the show itself isn't that bad, I'm still enjoying it. However, they could've done a lot better with adapting the source material, incorporating the cgi, etc.

I feel ridiculed watching this episode. Things are moving at the fucking speed of light with zero pause for setup or exposition. The overall plot line makes sense and actually seems fairly thought out (eschewing the normal route of expansion after expansion and just fighting bigger battles), but the absolute lack of attempt at execution makes everything fall flat. For instance, one of Theo's vassals Neman (sp) died. But he's shown up for like one episode and there's zero time devoted to him, even though I guess he was a core member of Theo's team at the time he died. I was just like, "okay who cares." But that's not what's supposed to happen when a named character dies. Heck, I would've felt worse if it was the village head who died.

Good on them to have put some thought and budget into the one on one battle, but that's probably the only example of a good fight out of 4 episodes in a warring era anime. It's such an absolute shame that adaptations get shafted like this.

Can't believe they somehow managed to defend their castle.
Hmmm, i'm not sure if he did the right decision but as long as he stays with Siluca, it will always be a good decision xD But honestly, i thought that he would simply conquer all the territories around him, i wasn't expecting for him to give up on almost everything.
So now he will be like his personal Knight but he lost all his territories?
But as i've said, as long as he keeps Siluca, that's what matters xD

...Refused?.....And Facing fairly superior Army.... and top of that....they were willing to go to even that Count....that looks like....huh....So there is also another prove that you should take everything you hear with grain of salt.....Count may been called Lustful....but If he is really how that Senpai of Siluca is saying...well wouldn't call him that bad.....yet....we have to wait and see how he is later on....

AISHELA Was...REKT!? Oh *POOP* this army is obviously way superior than anything else they have faced before...

Neyman died?.....Pity....and pretty bad...that is 1 Allie less to Theo and Siluca....Lassic Killed the Sevis king at least...what about his Crest tough?

HAHA!!! So Count was waiting this.....well he is quite smart 1.....and he is Cousin to this Queen?

Now I though wonder...what he will demand as reward for saving their asses...


*EDIT Just read Manga chapter of Siluca's meeting with Marine.....Yeah...Rushed as hell.....and quite literally explains or at least give Siluca's father more depth...tough....what the hell...Siluca was discriminated...and he was an Architect

This was a blazing fast episode. So much happened that it's kind of difficult to process. Not exactly sure why it's rushing when it has 24 episodes.

So in the end, Theo wins but relinquishes his rank and lands. Glad to see he was dead set on keeping Siluca. She's the best character thus far, on top of her good looks. Seems like she's pretty wet for Theo at the end there. Also looks like cute priestess girl is coming along for the ride. The harem is beginning to grow.

Really glad hot warrior chick didn't die.

After watching this for 4 episodes, I don't like it.
- too rushed (I expect them to end the 1st volume in 6-7 ep. they surprised me with this pacing)
- they have only 4 ep, so less explanation.
- neyman became a man that no one care. he has little role in LN already, please give him some love.

And if they're going with the same pacing, this'll be a nightmare.
at least, the action in anime was good.

Another episode with very bad and rushed pacing. Again Theo somehow is praised as a God when he do NOTHING in the battle. Siluca boring as ever. And the priest girl is just there for no reason (logic reason). 2/5

Every episode I am noticing lots of action battles. However, lots of.. plotholes here and there and really more unimpressive storyline represented this episode imo (rush = bad). But good thing it didn't bore me and not to mention the romance is going to start... I hope that part this show get be better at least! (especially the the chemistry between those two character is only worthwhile to watch about this show imHo)

Pity that they offed him actually....Manga is currently at this war.....and it shows us much more of Neeman's personality...and he was not actually offed in this battle..heavily wounded but survived....

Ah, so basically siluca was going away no matter what and theo just wants to stay with her. That explains why she was blushing at the end.

it's so jumpy. jumps from negotiating with one lord to fighting another without anything in between. jumps from one front of the battlefield to another without anything in between. it really could be portrayed so much better. and honestly, all the negotiate with lord x and fight against lord y gets a little confusing with how fast paced and lacking detail/development it is

theo was assisted by that one lord/count (whatever his name is) so he gives up his title?! what on earth...

this mage girl doesn't seem nearly as strategically apt now as she once did. speaking of her, what is that cat thing she summoned? what is her female fight friend she summoned? what are those marking some of the people have when they fight? why's that one giant dude turn into metal when he fights? how did the woman she summoned almost die from a single wound to her right chest that would've missed her vital organs?

the GENERAL story is good. but the specifics are kind of crap

6/10 at this point. it's just not that great because of all the pacing issues

Someone mind explaining the end of the episode to me?
Specifically why Theo turned down the initial deal.

From what I understood, the other Lord saved Theo's army during the battle on the condition that Siluca would become his mage. He proposed to allow Theo stay an independent Lord and they work together in a union rather than have Theo serve him like some of the other Lords under his control, the only flipside to this was that Siluca would serve him as his court mage. Theo refuses saying he doesn't want to give up Siluca and that he would instead pledge knighthood to the other Lord as long as he's given enough power as a knight to remain in contract with Siluca.


I just want to add that Siluca was originally under a contrast where she would be a mage of the other lord (long hair guy with a red-hair female mage), but she forcefully pushed the MC to accept her as his mage because she was under the impression that the other lord was very lecherous. That basically broke the original contrast which was a terrible thing to do. That was why they had little hope that the other lord would save them (but he did for strategic reasons). (In the manga, that fight was a lot more brutal and they were really desperate). The other lord rightfully asked Siluca to go back to his side. The only way the MC could keep Siluca as his mage was to serve the other lord himself.

I've been rewatching an episode of this series a day or two and it genuinely feels like I'm watching a compilation per episode, particularly with this one. Way too many things happened in this episode and was generally just a mess as a whole. Nothing whatsoever feels impactful and sensical given how rushed and thrown together everything is haphazardly from the politics and Theo's character and status, to the romance angle with Siluca and the battles themselves with random characters dying who seem to be key for Theo's side but haven't gotten much screentime to establish anything like Neyman, who I was so confused by when seeing this episode. Hell, Theo didn't do much in this episode even to get the praise he got and his personality does not help make things more compelling per say. Makes me crave more for Kingdom and how Ei Sei is as a character in comparison to Theo here.
