I am impressed for Prince Wein, he's so cool and smart.

Except when someone insults Ninym, then all bets are off, the ultimate berserk button has been pushed. Which makes him an even better character, just a cool genius would be nowhere near as interesting.

I keep on thinking that there must be some sort of backstory to this and we have been dumped into the middle of it. I am not overly impressed with this at all.
May the Uguu be with you.

Pretty good episode! We Re:Zero now lmao, they skipped the OP and ED, which is great. I guess Lowa is taking Wein's advice, she's gonna drag Natra to her war without consent, though of course our boy Wein isn't easily gonna accept that.

We feel you Falanya, fellow Ninym and Wein shipper, they should get married. Damn though, Nao Touyama's characters are fated to be rejected lmao. Looking forward to the next episode.

Now all this story needs is an actual, competent grown up(s) to come into play. Otherwise, the foolish and incompetent enemies vs a bunch of teenagers can hurt the story a LOT!

I really didn't expect to love this as much as I do, but it's well structured and the fan service doesn't take all the screen time, it has the right amount and there's also interesting backstories being told alongside with it. It's really nice to see good strategy being used in a more historical way with logic behind it :)

I kinda ship Ninym and Wein so it makes me sad when Ninym says that if Wein were ever to ask her hand in marriage she would commit suicide, I hope that they do become a couple. xD

Lowellmina is pretty nice too but yeah the main duo are definitely my favorites far.

WOW!!!
This anime suddenly jumped to #1 place for this season.
This mind struggle of two geniuses "I know that you know but do you know what I know" is fantastic!!!
It puts it on the shelf of Death Note and Love is War.

The only complaint: this Flahn shtick should be better explained

Also I've seen several people refer to this as an Isekai but it's just a standard fantasy right?

It's even low fantasy because no magic.

Ehh, kinda boring episode. Mostly info dump and set up for next few episodes. Most important part is probably Ninym saying she would die than marrying Wein but that's about it.


Bro why is your anime list so cultured. I've never seen someone so invested in amagami ss

How?

They both rely on the same cheap structure of tell don't show and focus more on using famous VA that reads on a script rather than provide all the socioeconomical issues using visuals that lead other nations to war.


Because the characters on this show are not personality vacuums like Realist hero. Realist hero had an entire episode on forest management and the first 3 episodes of season 2 have been people sat around talking. Its been mind numbingly boring, Genuis Price at least has a bit of action and change of pace mixed into the politics, its a more balanced show.


Just for the record, I'm not defending neither realist Hero nor The Genius Prince. But:

1. You are claming that Realist hero hasn't had any action, when in fact it has had more actual action scenes in numbers compared to Genius Prince. The whole insurrection of the triad with the Lion commander and the dragon knights, that was at least 2½ episodes with better action than the CG chess pieces used in episode 1 & 2 of the Genius Prince.

2. The personalities in the Genius Prince are just equally cardboard characters with villians 3 or 4 times dumber than the main protagonist for the only sake of making the MC look like a Genius, when he's not, it boils down to asspulls on strategies that only shows a small part of the whole terrain (like the fortified event at the mines where he allegedly had miners doing all sorts of tunnels for his brilliant tactics) and claiming that not only the Prince is a great strategist but also a skilled swordman wich makes you wonder how much time could he sacrifice in the academy as a strat master in order to achieve the rank of knight slayer (aka slicing a captain in armor with a simple blade)

3. People sitting around and talking is also a common cheap tell don't show strategy this show has, episode 3 & 4 have been exactly that explaining with long infodumps the situation of Lowelmina and the dichotomy with her brothers and the reign of Antgatal that we just heard of in the last 2 episodes.

More information about Wein and his days with Ninym and others back in academy. No action this time so it looks like the calm before the storm.

It seems like Wein has finally found his match, Lowa. I wonder if they be against each other or team up.

A new character is upon us and she seems cute I wonder if the two other guys will show up in the future though, She can be a bigger presence than Ninym but no one tops her off in terms of charm

She's a bit more expressive than most but at the same time she feels so secretive and she's hiding something that I can't quite seem to figure out, Well shit they almost look the same and size in the bath was there any difference at all

It was actually nostalgic seeing Ninym wearing a purple winter cape I guess because it feels like it's Emilia and the same VA, Falanya is cute why can't we get more screen time for her It would kind of be irrelevant so I want to see more roles from Falanya in the story.

Past Wein said something troublesome to Lowa with his suggestion to start a war and drag current time him into it. Still gotta love how he immediately rejects helping her as it would be too troublesome.

5/5 Would drag against will again.
Time for Wein to declare war to get out of the fighting I'd say.
Happy retirement, ho!

I like Ninym a lot more than Lowa. Lowa seems interesting though. It seems like we're gonna get even more flashbacks to the school era- Ninym's fight is probably gonna be shown later. I'm super interested in the past politics of the empire tbh

"Let's cast away such notions, just as we did our clothes." Lowa has some pretty practical yet suggestive philosophies.
Guess it's time for Wein to take the harem route.
