EP. REVIEW: Knight's & Magic

Completely faithful? Large swaths have been cut out, elements rearranged.

But given that the end result is still just explaining where the reactors come from, it feels less like seeds being laid for future plot interest and more like just another detail ‘because it's cool.’

I'm curious as to whether the MC is actually going to have a fight where he is actually pressured, because every fight so far has basically been a game to him where he onesidedly stomps the opposition. It's just a bit hard to get excited about the action scenes when there doesn't seem to be any tension or a sense that the main cast are in any danger. Granted, I have also read other light novels like overlord and death march where the MC's are also super OP and pretty much have no challenge either so it's not exactly a new concept.

spoiler[nope, rofl stomp all single matches, up into vol 5 of the LN
i suppose he's still at it on vol 7

last time i remember, the opponent need something like 10 of upgraded knights to even put pressure on ernie, and still being roflstomped anyway

oh, and he also ask for more opposition to come at him after each stomps
so yea, he'll turn into an obnoxious killer that has no whatsoever moral compass, in a few episode, then again, they fired at him, no hard feeling?]

Ep 9,

So, the enemy empire has finally shown up, guessing that they're either going to crush them in the next 4 episodes and and finish the series like that, or end on some cliffhanger and tell people to read the LN.

Now, random annoying questions:
Why could none of them hit those giant, slow air ships with any of their magic weapons, they shoot fast moving silhouette knights all the time?

What's the point of the prince marrying the princess when they've already conquered the country. seems like it would be more beneficial to marry someone who can actually offer political benefits to his empire, like some other large nation they haven't conquered.

Their capital sits on this ominous spiky plateau, eternally bathed in reds and blacks, and even the moon above them looks evil!

Not that the empire was obviously morally gray in the LN or anything, but they went over the top in the anime. Also, here in the anime, it's implied that most of the mecha pilots who were defending against Eru survived while they died pretty brutally in the LN.

1. The airships were too far away for the magic bullets to have effectiveness in the LN, though the anime just shows stormtrooper aiming.

2. It'll probably be mentioned next episode, but the marriage is mostly to minimize rebellion by making sure someone with Kuschpercha royal blood will eventually rule the area, even if it is a child from a forced marriage. The minor nobles are still around even if they currently don't have the forces to properly rebel.
