----------------------------------------
Holy shit, this episode was awesome. The King came to her Nike's recuse which I didn't find surprising. His rate did though and he was about to deal a finishing blow there.

Once again though, I like the bonding between Nike and the King. The butler was pretty funny with those tears :p

Quite a catchy song this episode though.

Livius got victory against the authority of that religion, even though many kings in real history had struggles to win against the power of religions.

Anyway, this episode was nice as usual. I started to think this series would be the best in this season. It is an old-school type of syoujo anime, or shoujo manga. But I like it.

P.S. Syoujo? or Shoujo?

@dmrch:
Shoujo.

King came, withou telling Sugita-san's character. They were able to escape, and he showed his weak side to her. lol @ ero old guys.

Nice performance to create a "ring" on the sun.

A little girl as rival?

Nike's technique was awesome; creating fog to escape.
Livius' swift reflex and swordsmanship was badass!

Livius X Nike moments were nice! That kiss in the forehead.. :)
Nike making fun of Livius as a perverted, sneaky little brat. XD

Those 3 elders are parts of the 4 Gods affiliation?! No way. XD
Talking about boobs instead of the ceremony.. XD

Nike looked beautiful in that outfit. <3
Neil crying after hearing Livius' compliments to Nike.. XD

Sudden revelation of the controversy.. Loved when Nike got to punch that SOAB. XD
And, she still wants his approval for the marriage..
Livius was too nice to forgive him easily. His carefree attitude was pretty cool.

Great episode! Nike X Livius has reached it's perfection. :)
Too bad, that Tender Rain song was interrupted midway..

New character next episode!

Loved this episode. Great, like the other ones.

Wow, the preview of the next episode is kind of a slap in the face, though. I was looking forward to seeing a refreshing story but, as I expected, that's going down the train. Typical annoyingly possessive rival fodder girl, huh? I hope she doesn't last long, or else my end rating for this show is probably going to drop a handful of points.

Nice episode. Loved their bonding.

I was hoping there's more than one song too. Even though it's really nice but if we hear the same song every episode.. it's like listening to the OP and ED which many of us skipping them most of the time.

Nice balance between humor and romance, with a little action and adventure thrown in, what more can one want from this type of show.

Also, Nike is in the running for best MC of this season. Just plain likable without overdoing it.

My fave episode so far! It honestly just keeps winning my heart every week. I was smitten with the sun ring. Way to go, Livius, you sexy beast. I'm also loving Nike's voice actress more and more. I can't believe she is just starting out her career. She is rockin' it. Moaaaar plz. Can't wait for next week n_n <3

The scene with the forehead kiss and sunrise was really sweet...
Glad Livius saved Nike, he went on impulse to save the one he treasures.
Neil crying xD crying louder and louder.
The voice of the four gods lol, what a voice :)
A wedding ceremony and the perpetrator was found out! The ring around the sun, I really liked how the crowd was mesmerized by it.
Rani was left off without death. The scene was really good on Nike's reason for forgiving him. How he is also part of the country, glad they got married with full approval.
Livius really has grown a lot and we got to see his weak side. Glad he really values Nike a lot.
Really enjoyed this!

So this anime is apparently re-arranging the events of the manga, it's not necessarily a bad thing as long as they don't screw it up.

So far, I'm thoroughly enjoying this manga and Nike is awesome, she was incredibly beautiful in that dress.

Great episode. I was wondering why the priest didn't lie to cover up the assassination and why he even shut his own guy up given the amount of power he still has, but it turns out he wasn't as corrupt as I thought.

King Livius has some great fighting skills, driven from rage. Princess Nike was beautiful in her dress. She earned her right to be the queen. The rainbow with the half of the ring, it's like the rainbow is Nike and the half ring is Livius.

Judging from the preview, there's a new girl who claims to be Liviu's fiancee.

Episode was so incredibly sweet I'm missing words to express it. Those two are awesome together, and the political move involved not only to punish the darn priest but also to sell their marriage properly, was fantastic.

Because of the law, remember? The rules state that nobody bar the princess can enter the cave. If that guard says he "saw" Livius inside, is because the guy in question was there as well, which brings the question, why was the guard in there in the first place? Then you have his wound and Livius' sword, and you will have unquestionable proof, so he tried to shut him up to prevent all of that, but since it was too late, he threw all the poison he could instead.

The castle shook XD

I agree, Nike does look beautiful.

The butler's tears, priceless :3

He deserved that punch.

Good episode, and next week's rivalry looks like it will be fun.

This episode was great as I expected. Livius I has proven that his real King who had concurred the world by saving Nike on the assassination attempt,He's really awesome fighting with swords!

And the introduction of 3 of the 4 Gods was really awesome but I can't really believe they are the same as those perverted old guys!

I wish we could hear other songs which will be sung by Rena Maeda because "Tender Rain" song was kinda overused now but still her voice was really great and I can't believe that she's a newcomer because she's like a professional already! I really hope Rena Maeda can have more anime to be cast in and also to have more theme song to be sang on any anime!

Good job for the anime to gloss over it all by rearranging the manga.

That had such a last episode feel to it! But the preview with the new girl was suppose to happen before the trial... oh well. :P

Livius! Cute and strong. Nike is a great MC too.

The romance is kicking in. Animation was decent this episode. He praised her!

TENDER RAIN- uh sorry, lost my calm...

Beautiful episode...

A female love rival, huh. My thoughts would have been different if a male rival would have appeared but still, the rival looks annoying. I hope she is interesting though.

So Livius was the one that grabbed Nike's breats... erm kept her mouth shut so she wouldn't scream and alert her assassins.

The rage, the sword skills, Livius sure is powerful considering his age (more or less because of his rage) and I thought he would kill that guy, but good thing Nike stopped him.

Awwww, Livius hugged Nike and told her that he would give up everything for her, that's so beautiful.

Dat forehead kiss...

So the three old guys + Livius make the Four Gods Council.

So Livius decided to replace the ring that they didn't have with a ring made by Nike around the Sun.

A great episode and lol, a rival for Nike appears.

Not a bad episode, but still found it rather bland. I found humor in parts of it, but the emotional bits just didn't seem very emotional. And, that song, god they need to drop that damn tender rain song!

Going by the preview alone, next week's episode will be crap. But, I haven't lost hope for this series yet. I'll keep watching, and just hope they're getting the crap stuff out of the way early to focus on something better. Well, I've never read the manga, so I don't really know what's to come, but I have hope.

Gonna give this one a 6/10
Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often.

Good episode.
I really do wish Tender Rain was less poppy ergh.
Also wish Nike's punch wasn't offscreen, really needed to see Aristes get what he deserved.
I normally like the humour in this show but it felt a bit distracting in this rather serious episode.
Sweet ending.

Judging from the preview Luna/the skipped chapter will make an appearance after all.
Don't worry guys she's not his fiancee she's just a delulu childhood friend lol
But yeah the stuff next episode actually happens before the ring business in the manga, a bit of vital Nike/Livius development there so idk why they moved it to after this episode.
