This episode was so good.

Ninym kawai. The starting scene where Ninym is waking up Wein was so cute. Now I too have started thinking that Ninym is more kawai than Falyana.

The OP and ED are really good.

I'm loving these battle stratergies thingy and psychological wars, it's interesting to see.

Wein went full bad ass mode and killed their commander with his own hands for insulting his precious Ninym.

If anything Wein's kingdom is getting farther and farther away from getting sold by Wein. It's totally unexpected for Wein but his kingdom is going in the direction of prosperity. That's really nice.

This episode was really enjoyable, this episode was a 5/5 and I'm rating this anime a 8/10 already. Looking forward to next episode.

So he's a brilliant strategist masquerading as a lazy prince masquerading as competent prince. But deep down Ninym is his most precious thing. I wonder if we will get any background about them? I hope so.

Anyway, this show is currently exceeding my expectations. I was thinking it would be another half-asses kingdom building show, but its actually got some good comedy and strategy.

I don't really know how this can be considered too fast-paced. One big battle per episode, both of them revolving around the gold mine, seems perfectly fine to me. I don't know the source material, but how many episodes would it have taken if it had adapted everything from the LN? Four? That would've been way too many.

Anyway, great episode. Not only because of Ninym, but she is a big reason why~

Like with most anime on a currently airing status, I normally choose ones I might find of interest and watch them all through but it's been a long time since I've thought to myself I'll actually drop it 😂
I was expecting quite the lot of comedy seeing the genre listed but I'd say for these 2 episodes the only thing I thought was amusing were Wein's inner thoughts but wasn't really expecting all the violencia and war stuff just from the synopsis alone.
In general, I'm not really into media (be it shows and video games) that focuses solely on war action which I feel like this show accentuates a lot of.

I would consider continuing this but really halfway through episode 2 I just wanted it to be over 'cause unfortunately it just really doesn't appeal to me at all.
The show might tone down less of it in episodes after, which I ofc wouldn't know, but Imma have to drop this one, it just hasn't grasped me at all.

Needless to say, it is an interesting show, pretty well done in how it presents itself, and I can definitely see the appeal of the chemistry between Wein and Ninym but honestly I don't think I could continue this at all.

Damn, you never insult the waifu. Pretty good episode, I am really liking Wein and Ninym. Kinda whack how the enemy kingdom is dumb as shit, but it's understandable, since they're just a lower kingdom. Maybe in the future, Wein will have more formidable foes. But it was satisfying to see Drawood get his ass handed to him, and personally by Wein too. Looking forward to the next episode.

Also, I wonder if the soldiers knows about Wein going sicko mode if you insult Ninym. Based on their reactions, I think they do.

There are many missing scenes that explain what's going on and also flesh out the characters.

It was a good episode.
Wein is actually very smart and thanks to that his battle tactics usually work.
I'm curious to know the relationship Wein has with Ninym, because he got very angry when the enemy soldier insulted her.

So Prince not only is a genius in finances/diplomacy/strategic-counselor but also is also a skilled swordsman that can cut thru armor and flesh/bones just like a hot knife on butter?

Next thing well be informed is that he's also secretly a wizard that can cast any kind of fire, water and earth spells.

What a joke of a show (and not in a good way)

That new gold vein was unnecessary asspull tbh. Protagonists tacts also aren't that clever, it's more like plot is written for him, than him outsmarting others. On top of that art is very mediocre.
And despite that I'm very enjoying this show lol. I just like Wein and Ninym (and her VA!). I like this slightly different take on OP protagonist. I like how story doesn't try to be overly tryhard.

Wein dominated the battle pretty easily. Damn, don't ever insult Ninym in front of Wein. The opposing general had to learn that the hard way. Heh, Wein can't seem to catch a break!

Just one glance at this and it looks rather generic, and while it kind of is, it's been quite entertaining. So glad I decided to give it a chance and actually watch it. Maybe the tactical warfare isn't exactly complex, but who doesn't love seeing one side outsmart the other.

Cloverworks clearly is currently holding the best girl of the season, but you gotta admit that Ninym is a very strong contender- voiced by none other than everyone's favorite voice actress.

Here's hoping that the rest of the season is equally as fun.

No one can go unscathed if they dare to insult Ninym the heart of Wein. Another fantastic episode with all that chess board like battle, strategy and comedy with little bit of gore as well. Ninym is definitely the most beautiful character of any of the new coming anime of this season. She is just too adorable and Wein etiquettes are so funny. I hope he will really sell Kingdom one day because our MC needs a break to have quality time with Ninym.

Also don't worry about your chest Ninym, seeing the LN cover all I can say is you will be very delighted with your chest growth.

If it helps, I already ended up dropping this one after watching episode 2, I just couldn't care less about war action and despite being labelled as comedy, the only funny things were Wein's inner thoughts and that's about it.

Some compare this to "realist hero" but

I see only "Combatants will be dispatched" war arc with less ecchi.

Some moments are forced, humor doesn't make me laugh, "robot girl" (tm) is generic and doesn't do much at all.

Most important, the MC is presented as total genius but all the comedy is that he is always WRONG with his assessments and predictions.
Otherwise, he is un-horny and un-hentai Combatants MC clone.

Boring so far.
Strategy with defense and fake mine collapse was the only interesting part.

Worse than combatants, realist hero and finest assassin, while sharing a lot with them

So can someone explain how on earth were our protagonists forces planning to wait out a month on top of a damn mountain with goldmine? Like were are they gonna get thier resources and supply to fend of army 6 times bigger then theirs for a whole month? And then there is the fact that Wien planned to retret after a month when the only back door was blocked off but somehow he was able to come down to burn the enemy camps with a 100man at night like how? Werent all the paths blocked off and being defended? How did he get down when the enemies couldn't break through up?

it was explained in this episode, you just didn't pay attention. Wein was planning the one month war while also considering the resources. And when the enemy general asked, Wein said that they had created another tunnel near to the destroyed one. Also, you forgot Wein had the terrarin advantage since the general can move his whole army.

From the start there's a hint of fanservice already and I'm liking it, One can dream Ninym one can dream

Wein's feeling it this season and he's not backing down whatsoever he's on a killing spree, as durask said it insult his waifu he'll take your laifu

So they realized how big of a threat Wein can be and oh boy we're starting to see some action here, Seems like the man can't even take a break poor guy.

So far I'm liking the one-sided tactical outplays by Wein, although I certainly didn't expect him to slay Drawood himself (very satisfying to see after the insult on his 'flat' waifu).

Eh, it seems Ninym has respectable boobs.. They look big enough.. ;P
Also, it seems Ninym liked the idea if prince would had a dream about her?.. Wonder, if she likes prince then..
Pretty enjoyable war campaigns so far..
And some racist thing is going on with the type of people Ninym is, it seems.. Well, it seems that Wein didn't like this insult.. Wonder, if he values or likes Ninym a lot.. Or he doesn't like discrimination between people.. Or has some other personal reasons..
Ninym is his heart, Wein says.. Interesting..
Quite enjoyable anime so far..

It was fine, I guess... had a couple laughs here and there. Also Ninym is good waifu material.
From watching at least 2 episodes, I kinda wished the series was maybe longer or had a season 2 so that the details wouldn't be as rushed as it is. It would be nice to have an elaboration of Wein's genius instead of tiny droplets here and there. Well, its still episode 2 so what can I say...
