Good thing they released the 2 last episodes at once, as they announced previously.

I wasn't that interested during the first episodes but this show really turned out to be extremely captivating and following Main's adventures became better & better. The whole universe appeared much larger than it looked, especially with the number of characters who constantly grew up.

Really looking forward the next season !

That was a really good episode. Now I can't totally wait for the next season. Maine's magic seems to be more powerful than I thought it would be. Simply take away her books and she can become Darth Maine lol.I thought it was just sickness and nothing else. The whole confrontation was really great and the final scene is just so heartwarming.

Overall, this was a really great anime. The small flaws are there and didn't really hinder much of the overall quality of the anime.

9/10

If you mean the scene at the beginning of the anime, that's something that will happen in s2.

THAT WAS SOOOO FUCKING COOL!!!!!!!!! Mein going full on Shem-Ha! Nothing screams god like Iguchi Yuka gettings serious that was so cool I couldnt stop grinning.

This episode had so much family wholesomeness I loved it. That huge at the end was adorable. Sisterly love FTW!!

Cant wait for the next season. Shame we probably wont see Mein that badass again but dam Im so glad it happend. Making Iguchi Yuka the main character was the perfect choice as she can do adorable as fuck and dominating/scary as hell.
Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!!

Been supporting this anime from the first and loving the opening more than I thought, all of it was worth it, I love how I am not excited on waiting for a new episode but when it comes out it is enjoyable. The story was nice and simple, as well as the characters. Enjoyed the first part so far, hoping for more great book making story.

There she is... The Librorum Prohibitorum Maine has finally awaken.

Maine's power and her interest for book and library made her more closely related to Index from Toaru Majutsu right? beside the fact that both of them are being voiced by same VA.

Ok. Why I just now recognize that Ferdinand's VA is the same who voiced Aizen in Bleach? in the same time now I will never trust Ferdinand. xD


Also I can already see abridged version of that crushing scene
Maine: Your last words?
High Priest: Harder mommy!
Maine: What?!
High Priest: Whaaaa... Now crush my Di...
Ferdinand: I will stop you there.
Maine: So you wanna fight by using mana?
Ferdinand: I will show you my reiatsu superiority ... f*ck, wrong anime. Ok you win.

The anime had a slow start and the '3-episode rule' won't do this anime justice.
It will be sad to hear people will not watch this because of the slow pacing and HON HON HON in the beginning...

Along the course, we had some great changes, character developments, explanations of the story and every episode went better and better. I would say, this is truly the hidden gem of the season. I can't wait for Part two (No, it's not a second season, it's a part two / second cour.).

My score went from a 7 in Episodes 1-3 to a 8 in Episodes 4-12 and 9 in Episode 13-14.
Score 9/10!


I dunno, I think I just needed one or two episode to see how awesome this anime is.

This is BS. Can't believe this awesome show is done. I wanted to see more. I gave it 9, but it's honestly 8 because the pacing was slower then I would have liked. I kicked extra point because of surprise, as in how unexpectedly good this show was, "hidden gem" so to say. I hope Maine and family are back soon.

This was the perfect Isekai for me, because I kinda hate Isekais in general. I loved the cast, the premise, the world and the story. I wasn't a fan of the animation though. I would have given it a higher score had the animation had better quality. Still I loved Myne and her quest. Can't wait for the second season to air! 8/10

Fantastic episode and a great end to the season. I just loved Myne using her mana on the high priest. It was unexpected, but fits well with everything shown so far. I wonder what else she'll do next season that'll tip the high priest to her origins. Exciting stuff!

Great anime, a true gem this season and underrated.

Good story and very interesting 8/10 I'm so excited for the season 2 !!!!

This show is an example of how flawed the score system for mal is and how people are to quick to judge before they allow a show to develop. it went from 6.80 to nearly 8.

I really think Mal should adopt a policy of not allowing any scores to be shown at all until after a show is entirely aired and finished, people who finish titles noramlly have a better perspective to critisize than those who went for a first impression.

That said, it was great story and im looking foward to the next season. :)

The Head of The Temple thought she might be really low nobility or a wealthy commoner similar to Frieda. I think the nobles are separated by high, medium, or low and the commoners probably dare the same. The temple is between the noble district and the commoner district.

Myne's family are the lowest level commoners, Benno and his sister are medium level, while the guild master and his daughter are high level commoners. The society prevents beggars in the street by enslaving the children too poor to have housing and the unwanted in the church as gray robed priest so the nobles don't have to see them.

I imagine that the low level nobles are destitute but still being nobles could bully wealthy commoners into joining their families to give them a leg up, and high level nobles are probably like royalty, mediums are in between. The higher your status the more people you can bully into giving your family members that have strong magic power and/or a lot of money.

Loved the last couple of episodes. It's been an enjoyable SoL type show for most of the season, with only sporadic action and emotional parts mixed in, but the last two episodes were a complete roller coaster ride.

How cool did Myne look when she used "Crushing" against the High Priest. His attitude sucked, what a dicky lot the nobles must be if they act like that, assuming commoners are there just to acquiesce to their whims.

We never got to the part where the Head Priest puts the magical head bands on himself and Myne and reads her thoughts, finding out about her past life. That must come in S2 and they used it as a story telling device. I thought it worked well.

Overall I really, really enjoyed watching this show this season, gave it an easy 9/10. Can't wait for season 2.


The opening scene of the anime is chapter 131-132 of the light novel and this season ended at chapter 72 so yeah probably season 2.

Good thinking, but not exactly correct :3
- you're correct for them thinking she was the daughter of a very wealthy commoner, but they did not hesitate with "low noble". FYI nobles never send their children to the church for their baptism, they call a priest over instead, so there was never any doubt in their head that she was a commoner and not a noble.
-You're correct with the nobles having low, medium and high, although it doesn't stop here, above high is Lord Candidate (as in candidate for being the next Lord of a region), then Lord (as in Lord of a region) and above that is Royalty family, then the King himself. (there's around 20 regions in the country, the one the story happens in is called Ellenfest/Erenfest, just like the town they're in and the name of the Lord himself ).
So high noble isn't like Royalty. High nobility is still a very big deal though.
-There is no such precise thing as low, medium and high for commoners. It's just wealth difference and stuff I guess it could be divided in things like Merchants, Craftmen, Guards and the like, but no real layers.
-Both Benno and the guildmaster are very wealthy commoners. Yes the Guildmaster is even wealthier, and has way more connections with the nobles than Benno who is still young on that; but that's about it.
- The system is a bit different than enslaving and also it's only commoners young orphans being taken there. Homeless peoples don't have anything to do with Grey robes, they would never ever allow them to enter the church.Also nobles would not see homeless peoples anyway (I don't think there's that much anyway with the system of citizenship, only peoples without citizenship are homeless pretty much?) as nobles almost never go to the commoner part of the town.

- Low nobility is still nobility. Blue robes usually peoples that aren't fit for their family's nobility rank or rarely, peoples placed here for political reasons for example. So it means that quite a few of the current blue robes in Ellenfest's church are not even fit for lower nobility. They're still nobles by birth, but pretty much in name only at that point.
- Low nobility often struggles with money but they can't invite commoners in their family. The only exception would be Devoured children and even then, they would probably only do that if they come from a wealthy family.
- regardless of nobility rank, a noble has full authority on commoners so the rank here doesn't really play, it only plays in between nobles; so while noble ranks is an interesting topic that isn't too spoilerish since it's just world building, the second season will not touch a lot on this.

This almost makes me sure that the head priest is from high nobility status seeing how he reacted to Myne.

I knew it. I knew that this season has many quality isekai that can save the genre's face, this is one of it.

This is not just an anime about reincarnate to make a book. It also tells you about trading, intellectual properties, history of alphabet and paper, and even social class. And they combined it into a 14 episodes that easy to follow. And that is awesome.

Looking forward to season 2. Put it on my most anticiapted anime for 2020. See you next year, may the Force be with you

Final score : 10/10

Actually, it went from 6.9 to 8
It has started off with a really low score for some reason. But it truly is a wholesome anime, give it another chance. It starts slow, but it gets more and more interesting each episode. And later it will have some light/serious drama too.

This was a lovely series that really took my by surprise. I was interested in it because having children MCs can be quite fun due to their innocence, but I also was expecting to maybe drop it after a few episodes. I was wrong on both accounts though XD Sure Main is a child, but Urano is not. She acts quite childish in many cases though. I did get the childlike innocence with Lutz and Turi though! While I admire Main's tenacity, sometimes I was annoyed by her lack of self control over her obsession for books. Don't quote me about this though, please ^^; I understand that some people can have a passion for something and when they can't obtain it, it can drive them crazy. I personally can't relate to that (especially when Urano is mentally an adult), but like I said, her perseverance and her passion is admirable. She has a goal, and she's willing to do anything to get there. I could still do without the tantrums, but it what it is. I still love the series overall!

I think Honzuki is an exemplary slice of life fantasy. I've mentioned it before I think, but it reminds me a but of Sanzoku no Musume Ronja, except not targeted towards kids. There are deeper things going at play, as these last two episodes have shown us, and I can't sit still and wait for the second part! I thought Turi was just being dramatic about the nobles and her parents not coming back alive, but wow, that change in attitude. Intriguing world building and politics. Such a shame that it fell under the radar, but also not a surprise. I'd love to see this get fully adapted, although it seems unlikely due to the low viewership. Not that I know how it did in Japan...

I think people misunderstood Myne and the concept of resurrection a bit. Yes, Myne was an adult, but she was borderline autistic in her love for books. They don't really touch on the fact in the anime, but from the novel I can tell you that she would have been killed by truck-kun a lot earlier if she didn't have a friend pulling her aside while she was reading during their school walk. She also died during an earthquake, because she didn't find it significant enough to stop reading, until the book shelves crashed on her and killed her.
In her new body she also has the knowledge and mind of her old self, but she doesn't have the body (clearly) and that includes the brain. An undeveloped brain explains quite some of the more unreasonable things she does (like breaking into tears in the early episodes), because just because she has knowledge doesn't mean that she can act like an adult with a brain of a 5 year old.
So we have a main character in Myne that was borderline autistic, with a focus on books, and a brain of a 5 year old child that is also filled with knowledge of another life.

While I have no idea how well the anime is doing in japan, we should not forget that the novel was 3 years in a row on rank 1 of the longer (usually more mature and higher quality) novel rankings. So my guess would be that it wasn't as much as a surprise as it was with the western audience.

That's fair. I didn't consider the physical development of the brain, but I also know nothing about brain development and whether or not that would actually inhibit someone from self control, as there are adults who have self control problems (but I suppose for some people it really is something off balance with the body like hormones). Just like there are outliers, there are kids who don't throw tantrums even at that age (from personal experience with toddlers and first graders). Honestly, until we can transfer memories to another body, it's all just theories :P I'm also not ignoring your comment about borderline autistic btw since I had considered it as well, I just think that's can be a sensitive thing to talk about, even if Urano displays such traits. Well anyways, whatever the possible explanations there are, it's ultimately just something personal and I still love the series, that's why I said don't quote me XD But still, thanks for your perspective on things!

Interesting insight on how well the novel has been doing in Japan. Congrats to the author :) I don't know if Honzuki's sales got boosted by the anime, but if it was a success, then we could be seeing more content adapted beyond second part of the anime. The first BD/DVD volume also just came out on the 27th in Japan, so we'll see about the sales (even though these sales aren't everything).

Continuing on from the last episode, the Church and the Myne's Devouring issues interlinked, made the situation much worse. Certainly NOT what her family had expected from the intense give-and-take treatment.

With that, the terms and conditions suggested, it's going to be a tough uphill fight for Myne's right as the split between nobles and commons make for such a scene that Myne has been exposed the harsh truth, even for a reincarnated frail 5-year old.

And to that effect, the Devouring (or a raged tantrum version called the Crushing) took hold of Myne for such a frightening scene that not even the nobles could hold a candle to with the overwhelming mana. That'd teach them a lesson to not play with her emotions.

Instead, the head priest will take care of Myne, and all the T&C done, it was an unexpected win-win solution, with Myne's family losing the battle, but winning the war.

Can't wait for the 2nd cour in Spring 2020, now that the anime is fully caught onto the translated material so far.

I feel her obsession with books is nothing but a gag aimed to make the series funny. Also since she's in a body of a child, she gets the free pass to act like a child. We also low know very little about her overall development and know she had vast knowledge and love for book in her previous life, so she might have had childish behavior afterall.

I really enjoyed this anime ^^ 7/10 The priest is a big heartless jerk for harming Mein's parents just because they are poor. That was very rude! Mein went too far as to scare him to death. I liked to see Mein showing some respect!

Well damn, that got pretty intense pretty quickly. I knew that high priest wasn't exactly the most pure person around when he exploited Myne into making donations and all, but he went full blown cartoon super villain. Though sadly, at the same time, it felt somewhat realistic with how the world is, even today. Thank goodness Myne had her power to see her through. Honestly I was worried these last few episodes she wouldn't be staying with her family, mostly because the season 2 promotional art just has her and the head priest in an exotic looking locale. For all I know that may still happen down the line, but I hope not. Easily the strongest aspect of this series is Myne's relationship with her family and Lutz and friends. Writing them out of the story entirely or mostly would be a major downer and I doubt I'd enjoy it as much as everything to this point. But at this point that's mostly speculation so I guess I'll just take a wait and see approach on that particular issue.

Going into this series I had actually already read some of the manga chapters, even before knowing this was getting an anime adaptation. I stopped before Lutz found out the truth about Myne. I remember enjoying the series for its somewhat unique premise and pacing. I think that carried over to this adaptation pretty well. And as I said above the character relationships were the strongest, most endearing/emotional aspects of the series. I dunno, this series just had a different sorta vibe from most that I watch, in a good way. It was definitely one of this season's stand-outs for me, worthy of a solid 8/10. I'll be looking forward to season 2 next year.

An awesome finale. It was heartwarming through and through. I think this episode shone the best when it was covering the family and how loving and devoted they are to each other. It was really awesome seeing Myne's dad doing everything he can to protect Myne.

But damn. Myne with the Crushing is terrifying. Like, really actually terrifying and someone you DO NOT want to mess with. Kinda wanted that High Priest to die honestly, but that would not have been good for Myne.

A solid, unique, interesting, and heartwarming anime. I don't regret picking this up again after initially dropping it. 8/10 and can't wait for the next cour!

all these time my brain is like "you idiot Mine, why didn't you include Benno into the church!!! He is the best when it comes to negotiations! he'll make a deal that is impossible for the church to turn down"

and you, yes you Benno, WHY DIDN'T YOU COME TO THE CHURCH WITH MINE!!!
