It's very rare to me to drop any anime. But I had to do to this one.

Honestly, the entire anime it's not so bad (the prince is kinda creepy), but, just the fact the girl is been FORCED to marry the prince, and been kidnaped, it's enough for me as a woman. I know maybe this is historically based, but this is fantasy, come on, I want to see beautiful couples falling in love and no an abusive relationship.

Don't worth watch it

It's impossible to root for this romance. She isn't heard, she isn't respected, she was forced to take harsh lessons since childhood to marry this spineless prince, and she can't have the slightest bit of free will because in the next scene, she's treated like a doll. It's hard to like something like that. If someone appeared to be her partner, I might continue, but since I know that's not going to happen...
@Mari_Marx Yeah, this comment represents all I think, I just can't other althought drop this

My impression of the anime so far and after the first part of this episode: "Creepy stalker prince willing to do almost anything to keep the redhead he's got a lust on for, even if it means locking her up and waiting for Stockholm Syndrome to kick in. Well, do almost anything for her but respect her wishes." I'm out. Just...out.
@TatteredNSoulles Yes, I just can't

... and they're stepping up their gaslighting game, too.

In all seriousness, the issue with this show is NOT that it portrays shitty things. The issue is how all this shit is being romanticized af while her attempts to break free are more and more presented as silly-little-girl-acting-out-for-comic-relief.

@Dickegrobe Yeah, you are right.

The anime tries to be funny about some rather dark themes, such as forced marriage, ruining a woman's life for the sake of decorum, and depriving someone of any freedom in their life. But instead of being humorous, it makes the anime extremely bleak, especially when reflecting on the past. And knowing that the writer didn’t intend to make it an instructive story, I can’t help but criticize the choices they’re making for the male lead and everyone around the female lead.
