THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Wow, that was more funnier than I had thought. I lol'd @ the parody fan service tbh. I think the manga also exaggerates some of its humorous moments.

Still, I really like the fantasy style of this so far. Definitely has a good tone to it. Nike also seems like a friendly girl. Well, it's probably not a good idea to piss her off. Looking forward to more. That ending is awesome. Nina's life is about to go to hell change forever.

Odd. The series still says "not yet aired" even though Crunchyroll has the first episode up.

But why would CR lists it as episode 1?
Also, it looks pretty legit with the OP song and storytelling so far. I'm honestly confused right now. The episode that aired on Nippon...was it episode 0 or 1?

Both have same air date and I checked FansubDB. I am aware of the twitter post regarding episode 0 but the title never listed that way for the episode on CR and Nyaa.

Crunchyroll doesn't start at 0, and the way MAL and that twitter post regard the episode I just saw is kind of stupid. After all it looks like a real introduction and a real first episode of a series. Either the indexing is stupid or Japan is trying to pull a fast one on us to get more money with just a single episode.

I really enjoyed this first episode! Loving the mc already, she's one of those awesome shoujo female mc (reminds me of Yona, Shirayuki, etc). The humor was great, as well as the atmosphere. Nothing much else to say here except that it was a fun introduction episode and I hope I'll continue to like it!

It seems the date on the twitter post was referring to the anime itself starting and not episode 0. According to the Japan Schedule and the official site it was the first episode that aired. Yay for confusion.

The entry has been updated now. Sorry for the confusion and inconvenience with this.

Edit: Apparently the "Episode 0" is actually "Episode 1"... it was written specifically for the first episode of the anime and will later be published as "Chapter 0" in Hana to Yume. Thus, "Episode 0" has been removed from the DB.

Well, that was exciting.

Really fun stuff indeed :D

Liking Nike a lot so far. She's a great heroine ^^

Cute and BA to boot :3. Damn she can control wind? Nice.

The way she was chosen to be the princess by Rock paper scissors was so lol XD

Her sisters are funny hehe ^^

And Lol'd so much at those 2 thugs XD "Let's kill her" "U sure leveled up there bro" XD

Should be interesting to see the interactions between her strong character and the king's strong character.

Can't wait to see how they fall for eachother. He's a shota though :P XD

ASDskjdflaskdfsd. Thank you. Perfect episode one. Nike's portrayal was great and I love her voice so much. This really got off to a great start, one of my favourite shoujo ;__;.

This was a pleasant surprise. The comedy and the setting, plus the obvious backstabbing political advisor plot that was hinted at. i'm hoping it can all combine to create a more than decent show. If the romance pays off then that will be even better.

Does anyone get the feeling of nostalgia when watching this? It feels really old school but with nice art and CG. Probably because this felt really RPG-ish to me.

I liked it, even though the inevitable(?) shota development in Lady Addidas turns me off, the setting was enjoyable and I liked the nostalgic feeling to it. I was skeptical at first but probably going to try to watch this along with all the animes that come out on Saturdays

How old is that king?
He looks like kid? O.o

Oh! My final scene in ending! xD

1. not liking the vibe of the series. feels like "nothing bads ever gonna happen, everything is safe" vibe.

2. nike's clothes make her look like she's from the future. didn't fit in.

3. didn't like the kingdom setting. prefer something that's current. enjoyed magi in english dub tho.

The background/scenery is great, but the character designs are lacking in quality. Opening and ending didn't have much animation... low budget or just the studio? o.O

Humour is a wee bit untimely. And I doubt the sun king is an actual kid. Probably like The Bride of the Water God and can change his form or something. Midget maybe.

I do like the atmosphere, but I'm not sure if the light-hearted mood will continue on. I imagine that the plot will either get serious, or it will stick to romance development. Maybe both. So far it's a little shallow in its aspects, but it's just the first episode so it's fine for now.

A little awkward with the naked ending, but eh. Opening is weird too. I'm surprised that it only consisted of Nike.

lol @billybob300c; I didn't like her clothing much either. I think it's just bad character design though. Modern setting is overused. Look elsewhere. :P

Rather decent and interesting first episode, but I'm sad that the male lead only made an appearance at the end of the episode.
Nike seems like the type of girl that will kick your ass if you make her mad lol and everyone laughed at her when she said she was a princess XD.

What a shame, I like the heroine and the general premise but the tone is seriously irksome with horribly done cliches of dumb villains and shadowy big bads. Another shoujo getting another generic low budget adaptation. :(

The inappropriate attempts to inject humor (thinly disguised as 4th wall jokes), which is really the animators being perverts by trying add fanservice when there is none, is just ugh.

On the plus side, I've now learned about this series' existence (most anime are ads for manga/LN anyway) so I'll check out the manga.

"0 wa" that referred in twitter was chapter 0 that will be released later. This "prequel" listed as ep.1. So, Episode 0 database should be deleted (which it is now) because it lists as episode 1.

--------------------------
So it talks about the before story that main girl meeting her future husband and meeting that family. So the currency is too expensive for her country. lol @ that decision. lol @ those two thieves becoming her driver at the end.

OP featuring the girl, and ED featuring the boy... in nude///

That was a pretty good first episode. Nike is like one of those down-to- earth princesses, except some people are bothered by it.

I don't mind the age gap; I was expecting Livius' voice to be a bit younger.

That ending creeps me out a little bit...

I'll enjoy this. I want to keep watching for Nike

Most part of this episode doesn't happen in the manga but I think it's decent. I felt what happened during her journey to the castle probably did happened.

I love the OP and ED but... Livius in the ED ruined it -.- I wish they can at least let him wear a robe or something before showing him pulling the curtain.

EDIT: Wow wow... I just noticed Nike's VA sung the ED.. wow...

Very promising first episode. As others said, very Disney and old school-like! I love that. Also, great female lead. She's actually pretty badass. The plot seems interesting. Already near top of Spring anime for me.

WTF THE ED. LOL Why is he sleeping nude xD

The preview looks interesting. He's not just the typical tsundere shota.

I haven't read the manga, but the anime original stuff seemed good, it helped to introduce Nike's character before she met the king.

Nice opening. A little glimpse of that nice body too! ;)

Nike is cute and pretty awesome. (^.^)

Poor Nike got chosen to marry Sun King by rock, paper, scissors! XD
Her sister are hilarious and good looking too. But Nike is the best among, in my opinion. :)

A little bit of controversy talk..
Those thieves were hilarious. XD . How they kidnapped the wrong girl..

Looks like Nike can control the wind. Neat!
She was badass; cutting off the knife with ease and saving Mina.
Her flower petals display was awesome. :)

Sun King is surprisingly better than I thought!
Their relationship development will be something to look forward to.

Nice ending song. :) This'll be a decent series.

It was definitely a good idea to have an alternative start than the one of the manga right off the bat.

But am I being picky? I wanted to listen to Maeda Rena's (Nike) voice more properly, but all the voices seems like a recording through a mic in a recording room. I mean, is the quality of their recording mic not good enough? :/

Can't wait to see the kiddy king! :D

A marriage between two kingdoms that are complete opposite.
I kinda enjoyed Nike's personality, though her sister were gruesome on the traits of the sun king.
Some sort of wind power?
The rain princess marrying to the sun king should be interesting.
