and this is the point when i realized this was not going to be just another dumb Isekai, but something interesting. this when I was reading the manga.

Not sure if I'm feeling this show to be frank. It has awful animation, and I get that the entire point is that the world the game is in is busted, but I'm not vibing with the story or its characters. I just don't find it funny or the story to be all that great.

Good, no problem with that. We are not hive minds yet. If this was food, I would say "more for us". |

i mean, the direction and execution is lacking. like when i watched little busters i did not find it as compelling as Clannad, even though it should be the better one, based on the plot, but the execution for the little busters anime is lacking compared to Clannad. in this case, the plot is here, the execution sometimes is not.

one comment for anime viewers in general.
because we don't get a lot of otome game anime adaptations this is not as transparent as it is for manga or novel readers ( in general not specifically the audience of this series). the world correcting course by itself back to game events is a very common trope in the otome game genre,. it saying that this is or not happening here, but i am saying it to explain Leon's head space. |

I don't know... If they can grow enough to realize that there was never any future in loving Maria, and move on from her, that would be a reward. And since that growth would be motivated by their love and loyalty in the first place, then those have their reward as well. Unless in this world, they can have a polygamous relationship with the five of them... Then rewards all around, I guess? Luxion still makes every episode for me.

Don't think that will ever happen. They are trapped by Marie's choices. Once Marie successfully romanced them, they are her's forever. Marie is basically trapped in a hell of her own making. One that she has to make her peace with. Hopefully, once she becomes a better person, she can improve her and their quality of living. Though, Marie's princes have to grow up too. Right now, Marie is the one suffering for the princes' choices.

I'm now not sure that the anime will adapt as far as I initially thought. Is the series 12 or 13 episodes? If there's 2 episodes left it is going to take an awful lot of compression to reach that emotional ending. Hopefully it doesn't go the route of Seirei Gensouki by making it the briefest of epilogues.

As of the end of light novel 3, spoiler[ we really have not gotten an official explanation of why the timeline has been compressed. However, because the game had at least TWO sequels with the capture targets of game 1 appearing in game 2 as still in school it can be inferred that the timeline being compressed was a retcon! ]

note, the ln3 info up there is a huge spoiler.
the theory is that is the fault 9n Leon winning the f'ing duel, thus ruining the country's politics all around. |

They're definitely compressing things, but it looks like even with that we won't catch up to the manga. Hopefully there's a second season announcement coming...
Roseblade is a fun character, it would have been nice to have her introduced earlier, at least so it didn't seem like she showed up out of no where. |

Leon has a no kill policy, something Luxion has called him out on. |

spoiler[ Leon is avoiding killing for multiple reasons: 1. He honestly does not want to kill people unless he has too because he rightly fears how it will effect his sleep. 2. In this battle, not killing adds to the humiliation of defeating the fleet with a group of STUDENTS on vacation who refused to kill.]

As I mentioned to my family, I had... a lot of issues with the battle. However, I didn't mind because the interpersonal drama was so good. Glad to know there is more story to come.
