Well, it seems Wayne needs to make difficult choices in his role even if he has to do it on his own.

Episode also involved an assassination plot, which imo isn't too surprising to hear about for a show like this. Too bad not everyone can make it out for his anime alive, especially those with noble blood.

Gurinato? is that Geralt's father? Look like Gurinato came to see Wein to ask what he had to do to his son. Geralt died in a freak accident. Marquis of Antogadal, and tries to settle the matter through talks. Geralt, for his own ambition, he put his relatives under house arrest and take advantage of the plan insurgency to wish independence. Gurinato objected, and said that Wein was simply passing all those sins on to Geralt. Idk this scene so hard. With Rowelmina's plan of escaping, Gurinato probably thought Rowelmina was leaving and Gurinato was leading the command. Seeing Rowelmina who was sitting on the throne and beside her stood Wein, it was a good moment and yeah I like how a queen sit style. It's more advantageous to be single than to marry someone... Really like this Rowelmina and Ninym scene, xD. Girls talks as always. A girls intuition, xD. Seeing Rowelmina blushing that red face was truly an amazing scene. Even Rowelmina actually admitted that, what Ninym said. Even Rowelmina missed the relationship between the two of them.

Hah, Wein using Gerard's un-fate-ful death to thwart directly towards his father Marquess Grenache, the first and start of many warnings against the nobles staging the rebellion in the Earthworld Empire, thanks to Lowa's intel that the Prince himself acts decisively before trouble gets footloose.

As expected, enemies surround Wein and his bodyguards, and true to the fact, the Natran Prince is already steps WAY ahead to know of the entire rebellion plan by using every resource he has to deduce the tomfoolery before the army lead by Grenache himself could reach Wein. Absolutely a tit-for-tat action plan, executed perfectly with the help of others from Lowa's Imperial provincial army to nobles under Ninym's reach.

Ninym trying to ask Lowa whether she has an interest in Wein is quite the tsundere, given their history together. Would love to see Ninym vs. Lowa in vying for Wein's affection if there ever was one.

Otherwise, this episode felt pretty good, is and already an improvement considering it's been nearly a month since the start.

That's some nice strategy from Wein, but that was to expect he never disappoints... Antgadull is really as dumb as his son lol, and Lowa has some interesting ambitions if she wants to become the empress... though her weak point seems to be Wein, for how her attitude changed when Ninym asked her if she loves him ahah

Wein completely trolled Antgatal this episode. He's just as dumb as his son.

So, those spies were from the west, huh? Maybe we will get an arc focusing on the west later on.

Ninym's poker face as she points out that Lowa likes Wein was hilarious. Luckily, Lowa is a Wein X Ninym shipper so it's all right. Seems like her political position in the empire might improve as well.

Overall, nice ep and we got the ED as well.

Another week, another genius strategy from Wein. He even knows every details of what will happen on each plan, even every consequence already have the solution. This is the real kingdom leader here.

Wein's plan to entrap the lord by using a combo of half truths and truths really was one hell of a plan. The assassin's ambush though was well planned but so was Wein's countermeasures. Having Nanaki assassinate the assassins really was fun. The Marquess sure getting one hell of a shock as he chased Wein into an entire army. Lowa's intervention via official channels was a great way to force the marquis to heel. Behind the scenes as ever Wein had planned out his responses as well as ever. In the end im glad that this crisis was resolved successfully. Ninym's little interrogation of Lowa was pretty cute. Overall an excellent ep that featured a nice mix of skilled diplomacy, cunning plans and character expansion with regards to Wein and Lowa.

Great episode! Wein destroyed Grinahae's plan to fight back by capturing him xD. Wein's fake poisoned dagger throw trick was also amazing! And Lowe confessed to Ninym she does like Wein though she already knew lol.

Looking forward to the next episode!

Not surprising everything's turning out well for Wein, but well he's one of those intellectual type so why not. Also was quite obvious Lowa having a thing for Wein, though her accepting that honestly was quite a scene.

Good to Know, Lowlemina has backed off now despite confirming her feelings from pursuing Wein longing the relationship of Wein and Ninym. Wein and Ninym certainly do make a good couple and it is proven that Ninym is irreplaceable in Wein heart. I also hope there will not be anymore rift in their relationship. Wish all the best for Lowlemina endeavours of being Empress oneday.

Not a bad end to this arc, it was nice to see Wein in action again against that spear guy, he even outsmarted him, but that was nothing compared to how hard he big brained that lord lol, guy got mindbroken at the end there. I also liked how embarrassed Lowa got over admitting she’s liked Wein all this time, and Ninym telling her she’s an open book lol.

Decent episode. We got OP and ED after 2 weeks.

These stratergies and plan thingy are still too much for me to understand but still I enjoyed the episode.

So Lowa likes Wein, nice. And considering the sheer amount of unintroduced characters from the OP, I'm guessing Wein could end up having a harem lol, let's see.

If we are taking about ships, Ninym x Wein is the way to go, I won't mind some moments between those two, like the one is last episode, that was nice.

4/5 episode. Looking forward to next one.


The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

When they announced the super smart plan my expectations dissapeared and wow this episode was the most disappointing with the amount of conveniences that happened and it seems like sending message and movilicing troops is so easy and fast.

Honestly if you want to watch a better strategy story just search for a documentary of Roman history on youtube like the life of Julius Caesar it has everything this series tríes to acomplish but better with a more realistic ending and even a next generation.

Sure, but previous episodes it was a comedy where the mc spent as much time looking silly. The more it gets serious the less good it is.

Welp it certainly is a solid anime and I'm glad I was able to enjoy it for a bit, but I'm no longer intrigued by all the war strategy and politics that I initially thought was interesting. Decided to stop watching mediocre seasonal anime, and I feel this is one of them.

I hope the rest of you continue to enjoy this solid show and its many high-tiered waifus.

Lowe's blushing part was top tier, sexy voice acting around 19:00 minute. The "nan-- *gasp*" was so arousing.

But other than that, this series is very disappointing. The mix between comedy and serious scenes don't blend well. It's like a chicken without head, a show that doesn't know what it wants to be, written in such a silly way that turns every antagonists into 60IQ people while MC is a 700IQ genius with immaculate plans that have backup plans.

What's worse is that the politics that are being thrown so far are built upon shallow world building that offer nothing but superficial context. It's just boring and uninteresting.

A joint military exercise in the Marquess' territory (or near it) without notifying him? Bullshit. If you're going to try and have a witty plot, at least try to make it somewhat believable.

nothing mc does is funny at all, and the girls alone (all 3/4 are pretty cute/badass, not gonna lie... specially "totally not Emilia") are not enough to keep me interested in this "comedy" of an anime

maybe i'll decide to come back later for Ninym/Lowellmina, but for now this gets a 4/10 from me, screw this :D

Plan B is always one of my favourite type of plans just get the hell out of there lol.

Impressive of Grinahae to realise (albeit after the fact) what Wein's plan was, didn't think he had the intellect to do so given how ridiculous his son was and his own poor decision making.

What a clown fest this is and Wein is definitely enjoying watching this happen right before his eyes like he instructed them to do this but he outsmarted their outsmarting

Grinahae is almost going to collapse and can't even stand what he witnessed Wein really is a tough opponent to go against, Lowellmina is so cute when she blushes, Don't say that please don't mention the Touyama Nao curse I beg of you.

Hmm, what would I say, I really love this ep. First half of the episode, was a conclsion to rebellion of Antagel, which ended pretty well as the geruad bowed to lowa, as it was hinted from the very start. Also I love Wein manipulation skills, it was awesome how he literally predicted everything from the beginnning, and second half was sweet, sad that lowa lost, but she's going to be a fine empress<3. Looking forward to Wein and Nyim :) .

And so rebellion problem was solved.. Or was it?.. As it seems maybe someone from the West indeed were pilling oil to the fire in the East.. So the true enemy might be behind scenes.. Getting organizers in the East is certainly good in itself, though, of course.. Just that maybe some more stuff needs to be done.. If it can be.. Maybe there aren't enough leads, and only caution is everything that can be done, but not more.. Who knows..
