Episode 3

Everyone's Reactions

Al was a bit cute when he got carried away during his first battle and forgot to properly command his subordinates. But thanks to his lavish spending, the troops' morale is up, and they're bonding over meals—Romelia is definitely benefiting from all this. I saw the author explicitly guaranteeing that "Romelia is weak, always weak," and honestly, it’s reassuring in a good way. It makes me like her even more. A lot of people say Al and Ray have a sweet dynamic, and I felt the same too. With strong influences from Holy War Chronicles, I really love how their bond as knights serving the protagonist faction is portrayed. En's skill is another highlight: even though she applies buffs and debuffs, it’s hard to feel the impact directly, so she can’t quite say "It’s all thanks to me." That frustration feels super realistic. Since it’ll take years for this scale of army to grow strong enough to face off against each other, I’m glad we get to watch them develop over two consecutive seasons. The ED visuals and vocals are truly beautiful—I find myself soothed every time.
