| Regardless of the cuts and speeding up, there's something the anime adaptation has been doing quite well for the last 2 episodes, and that's managing to grasp and communicate the feel/atmosphere of the original material. I appreciate that , as this is will really help peoples to like this series and its characters. |

| This show is starting to grow on me a little bit. I feel like this is the type of show that is kind of boring now, but in 5 years from now I'll look back with nostalgia and think it was worth my time. The setting and style of the show give off a sort of comfy vibe, but it is ultimately pretty boring to actually watch at the same time. |

| I couldnt stop grinning my ass off this episode. Especially at the dad, he's too funny. Love seeing Mein make stuff and her quest to make a book is so interesting. As well as to see what limitations she has to do so. When Mein asked the dad to make her that thing I couldnt stop laughing at his reaction. Mein is adorable so it makes sense. I cant wait for it to get to the stage that all of Mein's inventions get her noticed in the city. Soooo looking forward to the next episode. This is definitely one of the best anime this season. |

| Man this episode had me giggling and grinning like an idiot X3 It was funny when her dad was getting all jealous, saying that Otto was already taken and stuff :P Why is this show so damn satisfying? I love watching her use her accumulated trivia knowledge (japanese love trivia, so having oodles of arbitrary knowledge is not unusual) in order to solve problems in her new reality. It's crazy when you think about how much DIY knowledge is actually extremely useful when you don't have the industrial machine to take care of you. @DarknessReality HAHA, great minds think alike, eh? Literally posting the same response to the ep at same time XD Yuri-Crusader said: It's an iyashikei anime. Nothing is really supposed to happen. It's all about feeling warm and fuzzy and happy.A extincting episode about hardship labour and poor people around the middle ages. We made a basket and feed a staring child!! And finish of with some paperwork Third episode now, and noting have happen!! But even if this was boring. Im kind of curious too see were this is going,,Sooner or later something have to happen,, Or is this going to continue until I learn how to make my own fucking basket!,, I really hope not,, 3/10 hopefully things will improve in upcoming episodes Shirasho said: Amen.This was not remotely what I expected. At the same time it is exactly what it said on the tin. She has no books. So, what does she do? She goes straight to making them. How do you make them with much of current technology not existing? That is what the main character (no pun intended) is trying to figure out. She is looking for ways to improve her situation with the limited resources she has. The series is flying straight and true to its premise, and I have a lot of respect for that. Animation-wise, it has been fairly consistent with additional praise for attention to detail. When I say that, I don't mean that the animation quality is superb or anything like that. I mean that the family's hair is consistently shiny as opposed to the hair of the other characters which tends to be flat. Overall no complaints in this department, as the minimum level of quality has been met. The story and pacing is always the real controversial thing. I can see this being really slow and dull for some audiences which is probably why the MAL score is so low (MAL user ratings are way too subjective which is why we can't have nice things). I believe the series does what it aims to do fairly well. It doesn't stray, and almost every moment aims to push the story forward. Shirasho said: Hwat? Amaama to Inazuma was very comfortable and satisfying to me, so i'm not sure what problems you would be referring to... Shows like these i would call semi-focused iyashikei, in which it's still mostly about the iyashi, but does slowly and comfortable wander it's way towards where it's headed. I think you may be overthinking the supposed repetition a bit :)I've given it all this praise, but don't get me wrong - I'm starting to find it a bit boring. We've followed the same pattern for 3 episodes now, and it is starting to get stale. Maine gets bored, family does something in "primitive" or subpar way, Maine pulls out knowledge bombs and nukes everyone from orbit. It almost feels like they are using Maine's frailness to prevent her from exploring and keeping her confined to the house and the gate. 3 episodes in and I still know nothing about this world. I'm afraid it will suffer the same way that Sweetness and Lightning did. With a show like an iyashikei, the meta is not important; even if it's a repeated episodic formula, the structure of that formula in a technical sense is almost irrelevant; what matters is the focus aspect, which is in the feeling and atmosphere. Shirasho said: From what i've seen of whispers, i don't think you wanna know.One question has been bugging me since episode 1. Most of the time with isekais the main character comes over and gets a new body or keeps their old one. In this one the girl's consciousness went into a living girl who was not a newborne. What happened to Maine? The real one. Did her consciousness just disappear? Shirasho said: I am absolutely 100% in agreement here. Most of the discussion of health food is placebo and confirmation bias and sharpshooter fallacies, and there isn't much of any concrete proof to back up any of it. This is the case for most aspects of health too, not just food. For example, in japan, grains & carb-type stuff is considered the most important food category, with veggies in second. I've seen a lot of very logical reasoning to back that carbs are actually very beneficial, depending how and when you consume and manage them. For example eating some carbs before bed is good because they are easy to digest so they don't affect your sleep, but they keep you from getting hungry, which also affects your sleep.nightcrawlercyp said: Soy itself is not unhealthy. Like they say, too much of everything is a poison. It just various per thing on what the safe limit is. Ignoring soy allergies for a moment, having a soy pancake will not make you sick. Having soy milk in your cereal will not kill you. Having soymilk for breakfast and a tub of tofu for lunch and dinner will probably be bad for your health. And let's be honest here. The idea that soy is bad for you is probably total bullcrap. At one time they said that brown rice was super healthy, and then they say that it is really bad for you, then they say it doesn't matter either way. Similarly, there was a huge campaign to blame sugar for causing issues instead of fats and carbs. You should not trust everything you read and take it as gospel, because the next day the same people that were calling it the devil's spawn will claim it came straight from heaven.yeah but they have something like soy. soy is really bad for you. There is a reason why they fed those to birds. modboy said: People are better off not overthinking it. Live the way that makes you feel the best and doesn't make you sick. Trying to min-max (gamer terms for micro-benefits to get best stats) is massively diminishing returns as far as effort for gain, you will end up decreasing your health just due to stress. Eat decent, sleep well and carry a good mood and you will feel like a million bucks and live a fairly long life.So has phytic acid which isn't very good for you but the real problem is that a lot of it (maybe most) is GMO-soy with high glysophate levels. The science on food is much, much better than it used to be. So I urge everyone to check into what they're eating. Don't just say that it not worthwhile because it's always changing. Half of the misinformation is from lobbying groups for the food and diet industries that was so successful it even made it into our schools and food pyramids (at least in the U.S.). nightcrawlercyp said: If it doesn't make you sick or give you acid reflux or something, then it's not worth worrying about.Thorckan said: Being edible and being fit for human consumption are two different things. Lots of things are edible if you have no other choice, that does not mean is a good idea to eat them.wtf with soy its totally edible tingy said: This happens in the real world though. There were times in my life i thought i was more intelligent than anyone i knew my age or older, only to be humbled by some preteen kid already at my level or better. Do not underestimate children; it's usually society that doesn't let them thrive and flourish (or at the very least doesn't encourage them and treat them as capable people worthy of respect).PaleBlue said: Seriously, if a 5 year old came to and was able to do better arithmetic than me not only not having officially learned math, but also using an entirely unknown system than me...I'd be more suspicious than anything. Not saying that a (genius) 5 year can't be that intelligent and innovative, but it's still pretty crazy. I guess Otto was just really desperate! X)but I think Otto's discovery that she knows math well enough to do his job was much more major than he made it seem, especially given the literacy levels of that world. Imagine if you came across a 5-year-old that could do the job you've been doing for years better than you, and without using the tools you consider necessary to do the job... |

| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| That was a nice episode, I think I'm getting used to this show and it's not as boring as I feared it would be. |
  |
| This series take on Isekai is quite uncommon in the genre that it threw me off at the beginning, but once her situation seeps in I began to appreciate what it is. An awesome slice of life Isekai. |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| This anime sounded incredibly boring at first... but that might just be me and my dislike for books without pictures... But this is a nice anime, I'm interested. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Such a nice feels good episode. |
| Loving this so far. The basket, paruecake, calculation, hair accessories and Dad being jealous to Otto. It's nice that Myne acts like a kid even though her mind wasn't, because of that everything is still entertaining to watch. |
 |
| laughed when the dad thought her loli daughter is somehow interested in a grown man (Otto). :p hmm, so manual mathematical computation is also applicable in this world. papyrus takes too long to make... time to change plans to making clay tablets. :) |
| Turi helped Maine so much with the peeling lmao. Again with not including muscle memory in, hmm. Guess I should just give up on that. Still wish the series had focused on it as just knowing alone can't make you a natural at stuff as Maine's body isn't supposed to know all that. Paruecake, nice. oh my God, I can't believe Maine's dad mentioned Otto is married lmao. He is a little too protective (okay fairly) I like Otto and Maine's interactions. Lmao Maine knows how to please her dad. "Victory is mine, Otto?" lmao he has such a childish side. Its kinda cute tho. That hairpin came out really nicely. Wow and Turi looks really cute too. Another great episode. |

It's 7 points out of 10. You just need to learn how to appreciate slower moments, that's all there is to it. Keep in mind this is MAL. 7 may be a high rating on your board, but for the overall average on MAL 7 is the same as 5. People default to 7 instead of 5. |
| @Shonen-Heartful @Shirasho 7/10 is the standard bar of entry for pretty much every site with ratings, be it movies, be in games, be it anime, etc. 7 usually means average not bad 6 usually means something lacking and some people really don't like it 8 usually means generally people love it 9 means people gobble it up like insane 10 never happens 5 means it was absolutely broken or absurdly offensive in some way to turn mostly everyone off... ...regardless of what the numbers on the scale are identified as in the rating process. anything below 7 will turn away most people, anything above 7 will attract more people. people who only watch 8 and up are usually snobs, people who watch a lot of 6 and under usually have a lot of guilty pleasure (or just don't understand fiction). that's just kind of universal standard of how everything balances out in the end, socio-economically speaking. i rate my anime based on this. because if i rate an anime above 7, i'm microscopically contributing to increasing it's rating, if i rate below 7 (or it's current rating) i'm contributing to decreasing it. we really should have more values on the scale in terms of what is good, than in terms of what is bad ...most of the scale is varying degrees of bad, but nobody even glances at anything below 5 (who wants to touch anything that is more than 50% total shit?). the problem is that there is no easy way to achieve this that also balances out sociologically. |

Hurwitz said: zwolf12 said: Myne (my preferred writing of her name, every translator has a different way of writing it, so I feel it is fair to choose your own preferred way) At least your choice of "Myne" is the one that the author (not a translator) decided was what should be used in the English releases (the official manga/LN translator started with "Maine" because that's what the original WN translator started with but then people wanted it changed to "Maïne" because that's what the original WN translator later changed to, so they decided to email the author for their opinion and they came back with "Myne") Interesting, do you have a source for that? Not that I'm zealous about that stuff, but I would be interested to see the authors reasoning. :D |

Hurwitz said: zwolf12 said: Interesting, do you have a source for that? Not that I'm zealous about that stuff, but I would be interested to see the authors reasoning. :D The author doesn't really give an explanation beyond saying that any romanisation will be difficult because in Japanese her original name and new name are meant to be a pun, but here is relevant stuff:
Thanks, I found this quote from the official translator of the novel that should be the discussion in a nutshell and the solution they went for: "Yeah, the author specifically requested "Myne", which honestly is fine with me. The author in general seems very informed on European names which is very relieving and impressive." |
|
| the first episode that had a good pacing, even tough they cut some chapters I wanted to see. The first two were just too fast for my WN reader taste, what are you people talking about? saying this is slow... lol Jokes aside, we're finally getting a peek of the impact of modern knowledge on a medieval society! This is, for me at least, the most enjoyable plot point of the series, so look foward to it. |
| Okay I'm really starting to like this series now. This is getting better and cuter with every episode. Maine is getting more and more cute with each episode. I thght she would be some sort of annoying bookworm but glad thats not how she is turning out to be. |
 |
| Basically this episode is just a filler |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| Maine is an outgoing person. She is really good at making handicrafts and also at cooking. I'm not exactly complaining. But you have to wonder, is this how a bookworm is supposed to be? |
 |
| While I already know the story from the manga, it's nice seeing it animated... especially when it regards to colour. I'm still not used to it, per say, but it's nice to look at. Naturally, they had to cut out some scenes, which is fair, but I hope they don't cut out anything too important. (And I'm surprised Otto is still somehow alive) |
| "You know you've reached peak quality when a doujin is better than the actual source series." (Eg. To LOVE-Ru) Just to list a couple of biases. Likes: A good story, characters, writing, romance, a good plot twist or something that breaks expectations (In a good way), 'backstory' and justice. Dislikes: Bad romance, too much fanservice, the harem genre, yuri, yaoi, and bad writing. |
nazsa said: Maine is an outgoing person. She is really good at making handicrafts and also at cooking. I'm not exactly complaining. But you have to wonder, is this how a bookworm is supposed to be? I know there are a lot of explanations in the anime that are easy to miss and that are better explained in the source material, but I'm pretty sure they explain that her mother (before she died) had a knack to start new hobbies, like handicraft shampoo, baskets, cooking etc. and she pulled her daughter into that as well. |
|
| That was another great episode. The father had me laughing many times lol I didn't totally expect her to be able to make pancakes out of those. She surely is very smart for a bookworm. |
 |
| This was a nice episode. Many great thing happened actually. I like Mains strong female lead. Her determination to become a librarian no matter what is something to cherish. And I like the way she refuses to step in her 'mothers' footsteps! I would love to taste her paruecakes too! Oh, and she visited Otto again and learned some new letters. It was also very nice of Main to make this flower hairpin for Turi. That ending was funny :3 These girls are making their father proud for sure. Can't wait for the next episode! |

AnimeFlyz said: This is what the anime has adapted so far Ep 1 (V1 Ch 1-4) Ep 2 (V1 Ch 5-7, 10) Ep 3 (V1 Ch 8, 11-14) Since you're knowledgeable about the show: where is the prologue of Episode 1, chapter wise? Is it that far from now? Is it plausible that we'll reach it before the end of the series? Shirasho said: Keep in mind this is MAL. 7 may be a high rating on your board, but for the overall average on MAL 7 is the same as 5. People default to 7 instead of 5. Considering the average score of a lot of "decent" shows is around 7, I'd say this isn't true in most cases. 5/10 is an insufficient score, there couldn't be so many decent shows in that range if their score was insufficient (bad). I think the problem thinking that 7 is the new 5 is just because some people are used to the old rating system where a 5 was the lowest score. Nowadays one should consider that a 7/10 show is supposed to be something everyone can enjoy to an extent. In a way someone is doing that, but in a exaggerated way. In a lot of anime discussions I've seen this format in the last episode's review from a lot of familiar faces of this forum. "Yeah this is a good, show, I really enjoyed it. 6/10" Excuse me what. Lol. |
| bruh |
| @FullyCharged I highly doubt it. The blue haired guy (whose name is Ferdinand) is from the 2nd arc, which is covered in Volumes 4-7. They included him because he is apparently an extremely popular character in the Japanese fandom. This first Season will only be 14 episodes and at the pace were going, there is no way we are making it that far. Only the first arc will be covered. They just shoehorned him in for the fans. |
| This was a vastly improvement from the past two episodes. |
| the anime gets better and better. very adorable. |
| I'm really liking this show but I wish that they would keep her abilities a bit low, I think it's a bit to convenient that someone simply happened to teach her all those things like making shampoo, weaving a basket, etc. Maybe Japanese kids are taught those things. But on the bright side I love how the series shows her failed attempts of trying to but her literary knowledge into practice. I wish I would have a sharp memory like her, I can't even remember the contents of a manga I might have read about a year ago XD |
 |
| Same with Dr. Stone making things, etc. I like show like this .. Her father is funny haha he's jealous to Otto :D |
 |
| I didnt expect "as an adult" Myne will be giving up so quicky with her papyrus. I wonder how will she obtain the clay for her books. |
| these cutaways in between are so cute |
 |
| What a wholesome episode. Maine making new things is really entertaining. Her dad is also amusing. I have a bad feeling that the more Maine makes new things, her family will doubt her or something. But the dad seems happy to her active. Gotta love the scene where she cooks pancakes. I love pancakes. |
| If Main/Maine/Myne sells the goods (shampoo,pancakes and hair ornamant) she made in this world, she would make lots of money to buy paper for the book. |
SceltoDec 17, 2019 7:19 PM
| Lol. The dad is so emotional. His possessiveness is annoying though. |
Angry_Anime_NerdApr 2, 2020 8:50 PM
| Numbuh 3, you've got to get off the couch, you cannot sit in that tree house, girl you like Rainbow Monkeys so grab your little shit and then swing! Hand tracks be tracking me to different doorways. In a maze, and I don't know what to do. Guaranteed though, Ima find the emeralds. |
| I will be crushed if our protagonist isn't burned as a witch at the end of the series. |
 |
| Have to give props to Otto-san there, aknowledging his mistakes pointed out by a 5-year old something not everyone is willing to do. Main's dad: 1, Otto: 0. The dad must have reached some new level of happiness there |
 |
| hahaha main's dad is an absolute crackup. |
| It's so nice to see people experiencing new things in this world.. It's so exciting.. ;P Again, so nice to see.. Inventions are the best.. ;P |
| It just keeps getting more better and better. I’m almost suspicious on how enjoyable this is lol |
Myne/Maine is really fascinating to watch, she is inventing things from her old world to this new world of hers, I just hope she won't get overboard and ruin the era she is living in and make it advance even faster, lol. This would turn into a sci-fi lol... XD This is really getting cringe... XD, well it was Myne's fault for not being cautious of her Dad's feelings. >.< However, just a single request from Myne would make her Dad full of energy again... hahaha "I've won, Otto" lol :v |
CrazyButNot4USep 22, 2021 3:23 AM
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| I actually like the constant chibi artstyle we've here popping up every now and then, which isn't a case usually. Also seems like Myne's making too many things now, but hey try not to go overboard else who knows someone might suspect a few things or two. |
