----------------------------------------
Geez, Alice almost caused a scene in public with Iska. She should try to keep her emotions more in check. Well whatever, at this stage, they barely know each other but seems their taste in food is pretty similar.

I guess this episode is trying to flesh out their characters more. Seems they're actually getting along better now, at least compared to the first episode. Also got some background storytelling about the Founder, Empire, etc. Seems this anime is also taking time to flesh out its story.

The virgin Kirisuna vs the chad Iska and Alice. Now this is how you get me to like a main girl and ship. This episode was cute throughout. You can see the feelings gradually blossoming and I’m here for it. Wonder what drama the queen and empire will throw into the equation. Anyone else get Hayasaka vibes off Rin?

Alice and Iska met each other again accidentally, and their food orders were the same, ummm maybe they were fated to be together, lmao

Alice blushed all the time when she was near Iska and Iska sleeping on Alice's chest

A very sweet episode. No battles but nice after the introduction last week. Iska and Alice are a ship made in heaven. They're instantly perfect for each other. We saw at the end of last episode how they ran into each other at the opera house and here they gets expanded upon more. Iska getting the ticket from their captain Mismis to hopefully ease his mind after the battle with Alice. Some hilarious coincidences with them not only running into each other at the play of course but also having to share a table at the restaurant. On top of ordering the exact same food made the exact same way. Both love their pasta made specifically in that style. Alice's maid Rin correcting them on the correct way to order pasta cooked was funny. Later in Alice bedroom with Rin being stubborn was funny too. It would be bad news if Alice and Iska little bump into each other got out to the higher ups at the Sovereign.

They each seem to have lingering feelings about meeting each other at the neutral city. Ending the episode too with them bonding over the art exhibit and that one artist in particular. Seeing the passion in his works despite the dark use of color and inorganic setting, there's still heart in it. Cute way to end with Iska falling asleep on Alice shoulder. Looks the the leaders of the Empire want him to capture her as part of his release from prison.

It was nice to see how compatible both Iska and Alice are and how cute they would look if they were dating.

Seemed like a more casual episode with both Iska and Alice getting to know each other. This episode is probably gonna be one of the main rising actions of the series. Congratulations Iska, you have now stolen the heart of a princess.

Good episode :)

Pretty catchy opening. From the visuals looks like the cast will have plenty of tough battles to fight. Mismis sure aged well despite being in her 20's. Its nice that Mismis is a commander that cares about her subordinates. To think that the two aces will end up encountering each other at the theatre though. It sure is interesting seeing the famed icy witch have some time off in the neutral city. Though her reaction at encountering Iska that often sure was funny. Total syn with a stranger is indeed impressive. Still the food conversation while proving to be hillarious also served to create the first spark in their relationship. The fact that both couldn't sleep was a potent indication. Iska's reawakening though seems to be creating complications for the witches though. The visit to the exhibit and the talk on the bench afterwards sure was fun and oddly calming as well. Overall an excellent ep that did an excellent job at expanding upon Alice and Iska's characters via their slowly developing bond with each other. In a way if their countries weren't at war these two would probably become good friends as they share similar interests. Looks like things will get even harder for both though. Excellent ending from Sora though.

The production values are through the roof, aren't they? I like many of the visual decisions, like the ending visuals, how the Nebulis capital looks, and some of the fight scene clips. The op and ed songs are very catchy.

Anyway, a cute "date," as expected. The pacing is fast but doesn't miss any of the most critical info.

The coincidences are so unrealistic, but they're just so cute together that I'll overlook them.

Not a groundbreaking anime so far, but the way it's presented and written makes it very enjoyable to watch.

"This is the neutral city"
"I know, if I made a fuss it would turn all neutral cities against us. That would be catastrophic. "


This one phrase shows the weakness of this show - to spill out everything.The viewers are not dumb, ok? They should have stopped with "This is a neutral city".

There are other occasions, in order to showcase Alice and Iska's similarity, they continued with a 3-line long phrase while ordering, when it would look more realistic if one of them stopped after first line of sync. Moreover, They didn’t stop at this scene, even further stretched to the sleeping scene.


The dream part was ok. But scene transition should have been better, it becomes hard to focus while they suddenly change the scene.

I feel like this show is intended for more otaku-centric audience, it has many elements which Otakus would love to see. The captain of Isaka's team, is another weakness of this show. She is clumsy, but is a captain. I need to know why she's a captain, someone who gets frustrated when her coworker sees her panty collection when she invited him at first place.

I will only watch it for Alice and Iska's relationship. It’s a dumb show, pretty much clear but I'm getting good service as long as Alice continue appear in cute outfits.

The coincidences in this episode alone is worthy of having its own drinking game.

It's not really the worst show I've seen this season so far by any means but the writing feels incredibly amateurish, especially given how unoriginal the concept of this anime is.

The leads arent bad likability wise atleast and the piano pieces were solid when adding atmosphere

I didn't expect to get a chapter where the romance angle of those two would be developed so soon. I suppose it makes the stake much higher soon.

Great episode, really liking this.

The main duo is adorable, Alice is so cute. Her character from design to personality gets a ton of points in my book.
Loving how their relationship is developing, it's funny and cute at the same time. So many coincidences but you can't blame them for being like minded people.

Iska with the casual nap at the end, Alice's slightly blushed face was great.
I'm hoping we get more of these slice of life romance scenes and not just action in the future.

These aren't coincidences anymore, this is FATE at it's working best. These moments were pretty funny though, predictable but amusing. As soon as they walked into that restaurant, we kinda knew they were gonna meet again, same with the art gallery.

It's so cliche but damn is it way more entertaining than expected. Really getting the Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet vibes watching this. A forbidden love between 2 sides that was never allowed to happen, happened.

Iska is a lucky bastard, those are some heavenly pillows he has his head resting on!!

Alice is incredibly adorable and that voice is an absolute killer.

Here's twenty minutes of multiple girls awkwardly trying to flirt with a eunuch. Also, some witch encased in stone or something? Who knows. It had goddamned nothing to do with anything else (not) happening in the episode. The one thing I can maybe say in favor of it is that it's at least showing a (boring and cliche) relationship developing in a medium where it's usually "dude does one nice thing and now they're in love forever." Or worse, since this is a light novel "dude compliments the slave he owns, which makes her belong to him forever." How far we've come.

this is still far from great but isn't exactly that bad... all these coincidences had me wondering how far my eyes could roll back, but i get it despite them being at war to the point of one side wanting to wipe out the other there's still enough neutral cities that are seemly peaceful to the point of wondering why the hell their even fighting lol we wouldn't be able to get them to actually get instant feelings for each other

Second episode in, and their feeling already bloomed very strongly with such a ridiculous designated event, their feeling might be stronger, and the love vibes sparked so fast by so much time even they had spend together. What a lovely situations, even though i am honestly still odd with their world settings. There was a war, a mere conflict, between twos nation, and their surrounding would not even care with their situations, and it tickled me so much how it last long? How even community accepted them very easily. The neutral city must be really uphold its pride so much, that its even careless with the obvious rivalry on their surrounding. Hmmm, it might refer with the real world situations. I mean, now, we even had a long conflict in a certain area. But, the additional of magic, and spirit power were still odd as the world already advanced pretty fast on a technology. Ah, whatever happened with the bs, the romantic vibes gave enough emotional feeling to me. By left aside the complete bullshit of their world, this is really intrigueing me. How could they got rid all of the difference, and united it in one hand. The ultimate villain already been hinted there: another demon loli, and the political rotten manner at the Empire. Its surely a risky and dangerous situations, and Iska, i hope, made any sense and logic move, rather just being another crap. Thats might be the real point of the show. So, lets see their next interaction. It might turned out into a joke again. But, yeah, its kinda sweet, to be honestly....

I AM REALLY LIKING THIS SERIES-----> ITS A FANTASY/ ROMANCE TYPE and i just love the chemistry of Iska and Alice... its just painful that one day they are fated to face each other again as enemies as its their responsibility to protect their respective kingdoms...

Anyways this episode is just too sweet.... alice and iska has the same taste in food,art... i just wish those moments will not end..
