| Well, it turns out that Lowellmina is actually much more smarter and clever than expected. No wonder she has a reason to become an empress. Ninym also seems to be in a foul mood this episode. And it's kinda cool we got to see some of Wein's swordsmanship skills. |
 |
Wein will hold a tea party before Rowelmina's return home. Wein uncovers Rowelmina's true intentions as she tries to win the war for the succession to the Empire. The end result is a grand plan that threatens to bring the Kingdom of Natra and the Autonomous Region of Antgadal into conflict. Wein really thought the path of the Antgadal army would not move. This is the first time I heard the royal theme say "kisama". A little confused why he always looks down on Wein, huh? Is there a hidden grudge? Not familiar with the footsteps of the Marquis of the Empire. Better not change that sitting position, xD. Ninim suggested ruining the party atmosphere? Wein seemed to noisy with Rowelmina who had dragged him into this situation. Giving Geralt a flower, Hana? didn't understand with this scene skip. Amazing sword duel is like watching Saber vs Lancer from fate series. And yeah, it ended with that fat guy falling from the palace. It's hard to say maybe he's dead. Wein looked a little surprised, how could Geralt die. How Rowelmina had to give up on this, might be difficult as the situation didn't allow it. Still remember how Wein promised Rowelmina, if she was in trouble then Wein would come to help. From now on Rowelmina focused on solving the rebellion case. Therefore, Rowelmina proposed to cooperate with Wein. |
| Ok episode. I like Lowellmina's character more and more. That sword duel was amusing. R.I.P Gerard. Things are now even more complicated for Wein. |

| Congratulations! Wein! You've got a war from the death of that dumb drunken prince. 🤣 The angry Ninym from this episode is the best. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Wein and Lowa battle of wits was fun to witness, but seriously that Gerard dude had the worst death of all time xD |
 |
| Did anyone else find serious issues with the subtitles? Is it just mine? I feel like these are for a different episode or something? I couldn't watch the episode because they were so off the mark... |

|
| Finally they upgraded their OP video from being a very low budget AMV to an actual solid OP vid. Good episode. |
| Nice episode! Lowa, Wein and Ninym are great characters! |
| This show is very similar to that other anime to rebuild a kingdom isekai, thats also airing but this is far more witty, I don't mind this actually, I'm enjoying it alot more then I would ever expect to going into it. The Characters actually have some unique personality to themselves in this. |

| LMAO that Gerard dude, that's really one of the most comical way you can meet your demise. And them reacting like it was nothing just made this whole thing even more hilarious. |
 |
| Great episode! Ninym sitting herself on Wein's lap was a great scene xD. Lowa is pretty smart with how she wants to manipulate Wein's tactics to borrow Natra's troops. Wein had to make Gerard look good without destroying his reputation lol. He accidentally won however! And had to try dodge naturally... Ummmm... Gerard ended up falling into a bush... AND DIED!!!!! Wein has gotten himself mixed up in some trouble xD. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Hmm thats a pretty good OP and from the visuals looks like Wein is going to be busy. Its tough being the youngest child of a royal family i guess. Even if you detect a threat no one will listen to you. Still Lowa had really thought hard for her plan. This time though i was almost relieved in seeing Wein's expectations be blown away. But i really like seeing Wein and Lowa compete and try to outwit each other in their respective plans with the banquet being especially fun. But man Wein's plan this time backfired spectacularly Given the situation that had developed as a result though its nice to see Lowa decide to work with Wein and Ninym to deal with it. Overall an excellent ep that combined some nice comedy with world building and idiotic son moments along with some nice expansion on Lowa as well. Curious to see how they will deal with the impending threat though. |

| Quality Queen. |
| Expecting Lowa and Wein to work together in the end ... with the Owl guy becoming a major antagonist. Comedy with the enemy prince - was fun. (Previous episode was less comedy.) I have to admit: I start to like this more than Realist Hero. Enjoying that there is more foreign politics (not that much focus on the civil affairs/administration), intriques and stuff. And no fantasy (magic). |
| No matter how brilliant your plan, it can all be defeated by one idiot accidentally killing himself. :D HiddenByDesign said: I remember when this was about a prince accidentally leading his kingdom to glory for a whole one episode before he became this competent super genius? He was always a competent super genius, the accidents simply came from him overestimating his enemies. In fact, it's very much the same here with Gerard throwing a wrench in his plans twice by first coming to Natra and then later dying due to his sheer idiocy, once again forcing poor Wein who just wanted to stay out of this whole business into having to add even more to his accomplishments simply to stay alive. |

| I don't know Bob, this smells like weak sauce. So Wein managed to get intel on Lowelmina's brothers gathering forces. Why would this imply an insurrection, and not gathering forces for other purpouses, like defending their own land or even invading other territories, why does it have to be exactly an insurrection? Source readers claimed that only the first 2 episodes of this adaptation would have dumb adversaries that make Wein look smarter. But here we are, episode 4, and the ugly drunk fat bastard killed himself (if he was actually killed and it's not some BS Nynim) and created a conflict between reigns with a ton of witnesses, even from Gerard's side and still the news go to Gerard's father half assed (most likely there will be a dumb plot twist of a 3rd party trying to gain something out of it). Funny how the fans of this show claim, hurr durr, this isn't like talking simulator Realist Hero hurr durr, despite doing exactly the same with poor infodumps between Wein & Lowelmina. |

| aight this gerard dudes death is the funniest shit ever istg |
| hgwnejmp.ädqwsd |
| Gerard was so stupid, Ninym don't like him and i understand her. He has a funny stupid death lol |
| I lmafo'd when that idiot just went and died on his own, brilliant. |
| Lol dude actually fell off the castle and died. Ya seems like a common theme will be some dumb bad luck making our Princes life more annoying. |
| Not bad episode. Big F to that fat guy lol |
 |
| Thats .... one way to die. Really liked this episode, even more than ep 3. I simply like mind games, on top of some comedy here and there. Also, an angry Ninym just casually sitting on Wein's lap; definitely contender for best girl. They upgraded the OP and removed the Ed again. Seems like its getting the Re:Zero treatment of OP/ED; hopefully a sign that its going to be good. |
 |
| Oh wow, that was one fine example of literal self-defenestration! These Wein vs. Lowa episodes are a joy to watch. |
| Hilariously entertaining. |

| They upgrade the Op & it's actually a solid one. That's nice Ninym x Wein moments are great, I'm really a sucker for casual flirting like that |
| Why they did that to gerard the prince lmao im sorry |
  |
| this is the worst eps, the studio always skip raclum part or the part when wein talk to another subordinate about strategy ( I'm not talk about ninmy but the others character ) and they skip the part when wein stop the ethnic confilct. btw I love the Op part 2/5 eps. |

| These stratergies and plan stuff is getting too much for me lol. That was the lamest and the most anti-climatic way to die even for a rich pig. It's kinda sad and hilarious that they didn't even bother to mourn and stuff, they were just like, "oh no!, anyway." Ninym was again cute this episode, lap scene was cute, I liked how she just casually sat herself there. There would have been blush-fest if it was any other female character in any other anime. This episode had comedic moments, I enjoyed them. TBH I didn't expect that I would have to pay lots of attention to the plot and stuff, I thought this anime was a comedic anime which you can watch while just turning off your brain, clearly I was wrong. Gotta pay attention now lol, may have to re-watch this episode. |

 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| I definitely didn’t fully understand what’s going on, but I liked this one, it was really a battle of the brains between Wein and Lowa, and then Gerard pretty much throws a wrench in both their plans by accidentally killing himself, deaths in this show have been prominent lol, and this one was pretty comedic. Honestly tho I feel kinda bad for Gerard, they assumed he was bad at sword fighting before they even started and then he immediately dies. Ah well lol. Also gotta appreciate Ninym casually sitting in Wein’s lap, nice. Look forward to what Lowa and Wein’s plan in next week. Also I’m glad to see some proper OP visuals now, always liked the song but it definitely needed this visual upgrade, hopefully if Funimation uploads it it’ll be this one and not the old one. |

| That's one hell of an upgrade for the OP. Finally a solid OP that does what is intended to do. Between Wein and Lowa, the psychological battles continue with stratagems across the board of how Lowa failed to reclaim her position as Empress in her own kingdom, and yet used Wein's Kingdom of Natra to butt heads with other kingdoms for their fall for others gain as part of the rebellion within the Earthworld Empire. I'd already expect Wein to be a step ahead, and he did to entice the enemy: Gerald Antgatal, son of Grenache, coming uninvited into a neighboring kingdom. Ninym just goes one step further to prove that she's one of the season's best waifus by flirting around with Wein while lambastiing with him about the sequence of events from Antgatal to Lowa becoming empress by using Wein and his Natran forces in the civil war. It's weirdly entertaining to see Wein and Lowa butt off being in cahoots with each other while having their own plans to foil and fool each other. Uh huh, Gerard falling to his death in such a "catastrophic" fashion is quite the suicide. Wein has tried many ways to avoid his situation, but with Gerard's self-suicide, it'd mean one big ballooning problem getting more complex by the situation. Good thing that Lowa surrendered, and both Wein and Ninym can officially reveal their stats to her in good faith. Time to fight the rebellion and devise a scheme for this. |

TheColonel76 said: you didn't understand because they never talk about where this conflict start, they skip the part where ethnic group war in natra and there the part illegal weapon play a big role where the one who sell illegal weapon is marquis Antgadal to start a war with the kingdom of natra.I definitely didn’t fully understand what’s going on, but I liked this one, it was really a battle of the brains between Wein and Lowa, and then Gerard pretty much throws a wrench in both their plans by accidentally killing himself, deaths in this show have been prominent lol, and this one was pretty comedic.

| Wein deserved that, for trying to offload his best friend x hidden lover to a dude she didn't even want to get 30ft near him. Lowell's plot is messy but I guess in the end it is working out? Wein stopping the empire from falling apart -> he gets prestige among the other lords -> perfect excuse to have the family approve their wedding. |
| Nice they fixed the OP Visuals because I really don't like the recent ones such a shame the song was good. BUT NOW they fixed it and it sync well with song!! |
| Oppai check! 111 cm: Hancock 110 cm: Zoro 100 cm: Robin |
| Still miles better than Realist hero. Lowa and Ninym are pretty smart characters, looking forward to seeing if they can stop the war before it starts. |
| Bruh, I fucking died when Gerard fell, not as dead as him though. Pretty good episode and they also have an OP now, so the first one was really just a placeholder. Wasn't the greatest of OP's, but the art was on point. The world really doesn't want Wein to retire lmao. Ninym and Wein are just great together, they'd definitely kill someone for each other... Well, Wein already did. Lowa and Wein's outsmarting your outsmarting though lmao. That was definitely Falanya's Fhlam retainer that went to Antgatal, so they're for sure gonna get clapped from the inside. |

Crashmatt said: Still miles better than Realist hero. Lowa and Ninym are pretty smart characters, looking forward to seeing if they can stop the war before it starts. "Miles" better than realist hero because MC had his devoted waifu sat on his lap and they all look smart with a bunch of half boiled convoluted dialogues. That's really a high bar /s |
| For a moment I thought this show is gonna be shit, I mean it still is thx to Wein, I can't stand him and his buffoonery but the show is kinda grow on me so I guess what I'm saying is it's better than I expected |
| i had low hopes for the anime on episode 1 but it is honestly looking really good. only dropped 2 this season. |
