There won't be more than one or two anime left unstreamed by the time Crunchyroll announces all of its mystery anime, so the odds are at least 90% likely that this will get picked up.

1:

I am not sure how to feel about the premiere. A large part of that is due to Dias and Alna. I get that in an era/land where life is hard and strength is crucial in a mate that Dias would be found attractive. The way Alna went from being snarky towards him to being utterly lovestruck in the span of a few minutes is a bit too drastic of a change though. Besides that there is the animation not being all that great. Building up a village is something I enjoy in anime so I will watch atleast a few more episodes.

I also found the "I hate yo...is that a dead buffalo thingy? I WUV YOU!" turnaround kind of lame. And also, I'm used to male anime protagonists who can be dense, especially in matters of the heart, but this one's just dumb. I get that he's goodhearted and wise natured and resolute, but still...



So yeah, big disappointment. I really had my hopes up for this one given the premise.
