BlueIsLove said: We haven't really seen Nobles in this anime so that really caught me off-guard when that fat bastard actually changed his attitude, even though it's pretty common for nobles in anime to be a first class asshole. To be exact he's not really a full fledged noble, as almost all blue robes including Mr Fat Santa are peoples who were born in noble family but where rejected by their parents for not meeting the standard of the family; they were given to the church before they hit seven. So, way less education than a noble, way less knowledge than a noble, no tools that every noble possess, and so on. It's better not to associate the other nobles to fat santa in attitude and all. |

| Even though I kinda didn't want Main to have any overpowered strength as main character, it was really satisfying to see her use it on the high priest. Some episodes were kinda slow and at times a bit boring, was pretty fun watching Main making some progress towards her goal in tiny steps with the struggles of her frail body |
 |
| Really unique anime, guess first anime I see after Naruto where isn't skipped progress but is detailed shown with it's failures and successes. Another unique on this anime is that protagonist isn't OP like in other animes (honestly real opposite to that except huge knowledge pretty weak protagonist). At first I started to watch it only because I saw it is isekai (since it's my favourite genre) but it is really great anime. |
| Blitzed it in 2 days. Amazing anime. Season 3 is also planned as I can see. Just wonderful! |
| Shit...myne just literally turned into a god lol But overall, this anime was quite enjoyable. A decent isekai. |
 |
| Well.. Let's see, what they'll manage to achieve.. Hm, so poors don't have any rights in this world, or what?.. Well, it's totally possible.. You show that fuck, Myne! Hm, so they managed to get all the things they wanted.. That's what matters.. I also think that there will be more good times ahead, with new opportunities, and also this new priest, who is good.. But also this white priest will probably try to sabotage Myne in the future as well.. Well, because we saw his nature, really.. Probably he'll do some shit later.. As well as Myne maybe will feel discrimination from both groups, really - both blue and grey ones.. Well, for obvious reasons.. But.. We also will have some good things in the future as well.. ;P But yeah, it was close.. This world is unfair to the poor, it seems.. Only a miracle really stopped from the tragedy.. Without magic, all of them would be dead right now.. Well, glad to see everything resolved.. Many hard and bad things, many good and interesting things await.. |
| Myne attittude is still a bit annoying, but every other character in this show was richer and saved it to me. Lutz is really a nice boy. Myne's familly are perfect as innocent righteous peasants. Benno is really a mature experienced and inteligent merchant, so IN character. Frida also a relatable smart girl. Even the f** Fat Santa is a perfect depiction of a corrupt authority not only in fantasy but anywhere in real world. That situation of her power explosion and the happy aftermath was a bit forced and nonsense, because even in fantasy, none person would smile and acept that easily a moster girl. The most natural, considering how the Church dont give a crap for peasants, would "talk no justsu" her bit, and later arrest her and execute her family. Church in medieval is everything but a friendly place. In real world inquisition they killed for waaaaaaay less provocation. If it is not happening, so it is all thanks to an abnormal good deed from the Blue Priest. Anyways, the last scene was a bit abrupt for the end of the season. I would expect at least they coming back to the initial scene of 1st episode when the "flash"back started. That said, surely this is better than average anime. 8/10 |

I would expect at least they coming back to the initial scene of 1st episode when the "flash"back started. That said, surely this is better than average anime. 8/10 The thing is, this world's church and our world's church have nothing to do with each other; at a scale that is rarely seen in fantasy worlds. So what makes you think it is non sense is in fact, mostly due to these differences. Also having mana is not being a monster, considering that's what all the ruling class has. We're not talking about our world were she would be labelled as a witch and burned, here, having mana is a good thing for everyone, provided it's put in good use (like, serving the church, or working as or for proper nobles). There is no" inquisition" in this world. Inquisition existing in here would make 0 sense in several way (politic, and faith organisation , at the very least). You're correct in saying that it is a good deed from the Blue priest (Ferdinand) though. But it's a good deed that was very logical to do from that character's position and situation, so definitely not a "hey, let's be nice and not kill people" kind of "nice". |

Without the church, peoples would starve, among other things. |

| Damn, that "crushing" scene was intense. Had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. But that damn books junkie, in her constant attempts to get her fix almost got her parents executed in a guillotine. Either way, this was probably one of the most fun and engaging anime I've watched in a long time. It's been a while since I finished a show in a day. Especially considering this is a worn out genre like "isekai". Good to see they're trying something different, instead of recycling the same templates and cliches.

Traditional religions are pretty much dead in the west. But there's already the "church of woke" to replace them. And then there's communism in China. There will always be elite who think they're better than the masses, thereby giving them the right to use them however they please. Some use divine authority, others will guise their actions under "moral high ground" and "justice". Even if we start living among the stars in a post-scarcity civilization, I'm sure people will find ways to have more and rise higher than the rest. With all needs taken care of, the only thing that will give enough of a thrill will be power. Which is also why the super rich are so power hungry. |
| My 137th completed series chronologically. For the record, I extended it a 7/10 rating. |
| That was a big 180° turn, to think a nobility in this story would have a snobbish and jerkish attitude towards a "lower class", this was probably what her Dad was afraid of but I'm glad Myne's parents didn't back down no matter what and I'm also glad Myne turned out to be able to use magic and inflict REAL Divine Punishment to the bishop, oh yeah! but I didn't expect it to be able to inflict damage to other people since it was mostly rare to have a "commoner" having magical prowess in them and there's still no magical skill being introduced IF it does exist or not lol. Despite those horrible demanding from the nobility, I'm glad almost all of their request are approved through the head priest but I don't know the details. This was a great season though it is rare to end it with the 14th episode but it was a great find nonetheless! |
| 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. |
| This was a great re-watched. Loved seeing Shem-Ha Main come out again lol. Her badass echoing voice filling her enemies with fear. I swear though no other anime matches this one when it comes to family bond/love. The family in this series are SO CUTE!!!! God they're all great. From Guntha being the caring funny father to Tuli being a lovable sister. Its all too adorable, I love it. Well time to re-watch season 2. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| This is probably the best isekai I've seen. Has great similarities to Spice and Wolf and I'm pleasantly surprised to not see loli fanservice because that's sorta expected for most moe characters. Seriously the characters and story is consistently good. There were no cliches that triggered me. |

| Rewatched this season along with reading the novels for it and this season was a bit of an underwhelming adaptation of a disappointing and just underwhelming and insipid first part of the Bookworm franchise. The finale here definitely felt a bit rushed with the High Priest/High Bishop meeting and Myne's breakdown with confronting the High Bishop for the shit he was pulling against her father and family she cares for, and the second half of this season's episodes in general felt lacking in material compared to the books and the season didn't have the production either to make up for it. Myne's voice was more annoying than I remembered to be as well. The family aspect in this franchise is alright, still really underwhelmed by how Myne's admiration for books feel more superficial than anything with this franchise. |

| Woah, you just can't trust these nobles. Myne choking that fatty and that too in some intimidating fashion was the highlight for me this episode, or heck even this first season. Gladly things worked out later and now we know she's gonna work there with noble status that is. Wasn't really expecting to find this series this much likeable, can say for sure I'm surprised, fortunately for a good reason. Really liked Myne as a character too, and the supporting ones too were good enough whenever given a chance on screen. 8.5/10. Expecting good things from second season too. |
 |
| That crushing scene was one of the most satisfying scenes I've seen in a long time, especially after that noble showed his true colors. Excellent anime altogether, slow and meticulous in it's execution, one may find it rather boring as a result, but I found it a joy to watch Myne struggle, endure and overcome many obstacles and challenges thrown her way. Yes, there's the whole thing about 6 year olds acting and articulating like an adult at times, which is why I think the main children should have been at least ten years older. Nothing would have been lost as a result. I dunno why, but I was expecting break neck pace with regards to results or reveals (Myne didn't know about magic until episode six IIRC lol), so this was a pleasant surprise. 9/10. |
| It's funny how the blue haired guy just let it happen then, when she fought back he wants to talk things out? lmao should've killed him too but judging from what I've seen from the start she helped them instead. "Their going to kill your Mother and Father if you kill him" He was already trying to kill them the fuck you mean. Honestly, I don't like Myne's obsession for books. 4/10 for the anime. |

| Wow Tuuli was actually right to fear for their very lives before they even left for the temple. Oh man, I was hoping the once kind-looking High Bishop gets offed but that will be the worse outcome wouldn't it? Killing the High Bishop, they would get her and the rest of her family in the end, and probably salt the earth too after they're done with it. So after Devouring, now we get Crushing, maybe there will Smashing, Shattering, and the likes too? XD 7/10 so far for me. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |

| Well that was badass and a satisfying end to this season. |
| I like this episode but I do hope Myne really learns something from this. She was completely shocked when she saw the nobles true colours but instead of getting out in the situation at someone else's hands, she was just able to use her protagonist powers to brute force a solution. Anyway overall this whole joining the church thing was executed pretty well and makes sense giving the fact that she was just gonna die if she didn't. I suppose this situation has worked out better than if she did sell herself to a noble but in theory the author could have wrote some scenario where that ends up working out similarly to what happened here. Course you have Frida's situation to consider in that case. |
| Well, at the very least this episode explained why the parents didn't even try to discuss the matter of Myne joining a noble, just like it explained her own reasoning behind sacrificing her life so she can stay with her family. For the rest though, while the show has enough qualities to not make me view it as bad, I still have so many issues with the writing. I won't talk again about the issue of Main having replaced the original (although I can still add that that little ship tease with Lutz is VERY questionable due to Main's real mental age), but there are other things. From this episode, there are two things in particular that I need to mention. The first one, is that the very last scene could've been very heartwarming if Main... weren't the one who put her parents in danger out of pure selfishness. I'm getting sick of seeing her get whatever she wants without ever learning anything and only receiving some slight scolding at most (and at 20 something, she shouldn't be so worried about being scolded, that's ridiculous). And the second one which fits with the first, is that no one truly cares about the fact that the girl almost murdered someone. Main could at least be shocked at what happened, just like her parents, yes it was magic but it was still her feelings and even that aside, she DID almost kill that guy so I don't know, wouldn't that be too much to ask for them to react more ? These guys just laughed like nothing happened, come on ! It's not a tantrum, that girl could be crazy for all we know. And that's the biggest problem I have with the show in the end. It is that the characters' reaction often go against what would normally be expected from people. They just react the way the story needs them to, no matter if it truly makes sense. And the thing is that it not only brings out the issues I mentionned, but it also makes the dialogues sound very shallow at times. I can't say I've never been touched but I had a very hard time not feeling exterior to the story due to these problems. Another issue I have is the pacing. I don't mind a slow pacing, I really don't but only if the characters are interesting enough to keep me invested no matter what. Here I didn't find the characters to be interesting, or at the very least entertaining enough to carry such a slow story. It's not that I'm not attached to them but they don't really stand out, the only truly memorable one being Main whose character is tainted by the issues I talked about. On top of that, the art is usually very bland, even if there has been some improvment here and there (I especially liked the scene where we discover the temple, the artstyle wasn't at its peak but the whole atmosphere was very well handled). I do think that this show has its qualities and it does have the potential to be very good, but for now all I can see is that potential but I fail to see what makes it so beloved due to all the flaws I mentionned. I don't want to be too harsh so for now I give it a 6 in hope next season will fix some of that, but if it doesn't then it'll probably drop to a 5 and I'd be very disappointed. I really am annoyed at stories that I know could be great but just expect the viewers to suspend their disbelief without making much efforts to rationally justify what's going on. |
 |
| Just realized back when Myne's mom burnt the tablets, she could've gotten the same treatment as evil Santa Claus if Myne lost it. This season finale was somehow both hype and heartwarming, can't wait for whatever's next |
| This anime didn't catch me in the beggining but it was getting better and better. |
| i finished this anime within 1 day and it was worth binge watch |
 |
| A really enjoyable series! Usually I have zero interest in things centering around little girls or whatever, but this was unique and fun. The ending wasn't amazing, but I guess it's just the first season. Looking forward to finding out what's next for Myne ^_^ |
