God everybody in this show is so fucking annoying. Episode made visibly angry. Making matters worse with Sett being out of commission until the post credit scene...

Looks like Az is on his way.. hopefully to kill every dumbass in this palace at once. For that reason alone, I need a season two to see that, and I guess to see him rescue Nina out of prison or whatever.

Thankfully, Sett killed that fking Toad at the end. He is the one who should've died. It would be more annoying if Toad was still alive.
The King was also fking stupid and annoying. She didn't even try to investigate and blame everything on Nina. She is strong, yes, but only in a physical way. It also proved and emphasized that she ruled her kingdom by fear and violence only. She doesn't show any sign of her own wisdom or intelligence while governing. Just forcibly using her authority as a king.

They ended it on a cliffhanger, there better be a season 2 coming up. Overall, pretty good anime would have been even better if Nine didn't fall in love with that asshole Sett.

Now that’s a fucking season finale holy hell. Emotional roller coaster of a lifetime and that cliffhanger with Sett is wild. But how the hell do you not announce a s2 after that? Cmon. We get puniru and Kantei skill instantly but this and raisetanin get shafted lol. Show my girl boss leads some love!

I swear the Hikami situation had like 4-5 different twists. Learning he’s a guy, thinking he tried killing sett when in reality it was toat behind it all, the fake suicide.. this was a lot man. It’s no wonder Nina at one point looked completely lifeless and dejected. In a foreign land with all this responsibility on your shoulders(that you didn’t ask for), plan’s gone to absolute shit and everyone’s out to get you. She mentioned her resilience being her strength and we really got to see that in this finale. A weaker girl would’ve been broken.

“Can you prove that you didn’t know it was poisoned?” For the king to be so wise and magnanimous she’s a dumbass. You can’t prove a negative lol. It should be on them to prove that Nina did know it was poisoned, but ofc they’re just trying to use all this as pretense to get Fortuna anyway.

Lmao, Toat, like every other idiot who’s tried controlling a demon learned the hard way it’s not possible. Glad sett killed his ugly ass as soon as he woke up. BUT Sett looks like he’s out for nothing but blood. We are finally getting a real Azure and Sett fight to the death aren’t we. Manga here I come, this was an awesome finale. Nina will be missed.

Absolutely brilliant show. We need a season 2 next year or the year after.

Glad Sett has woken up and already started taking out the trash.

Azure is wanting to go rescue Nina as well but Sett will kill him on sight. Really hope Nina and Ann are holding up okay..

Nina went through quite the emotional whirlwind in this finale. Poor girl was just the victim of one too many schemes. That Hikami plot twist was very good. I wasn't expecting it in the slightest.

I'm also happy Nina was able to remain smiling by the end of this season. She's definitely the best princess Galgada and Fortna could have. I'm hoping for a season 2! That post credits sequence cliffhanger was wild.

I was not sad as normally would be, as knew full well s/he was alive and it was a trick. A really bad situation by an evil brother who is now dead.

I wish the best as Az & Sett both seem to be after Nina at this time, if Az being concerned and Sett... Unknown if intent to kill or save, but definitely after Nina.

We won't know why Az kills Nina any time soon.

Nina being useful for one second of the entire episode is a huge character development for her. Usually it's 0 second. I hope the next season she can be useful for 2 seconds!

Wait, who was that guy in the middle of the last picture in the ED? I expected him to appear after the credits, but he was not there. That feels like a teaser for the next season.

But I am not so surprised at Hikami being man, since I was getting similar vibes from him as from Fam. Props to his VA for lowering her voice during the reveal to sound more convincing.

They truly made this anime to promote the manga smh, I highly doubt this ever gets a second season. But you know what, fair! It works so I can’t hate on them. I do wonder how many chapters got covered in this last episode? Must’ve been a TON. Overall I have to say that I get really annoyed by how they ended this.

People set up Nina/Alisha hard.

Very good ending episode of a very good series! Nina may not be the Princess Priestess Alisha the Fortna kingdom gave birth and raised, but the one who faces all odds for who are dear to her and, ultimately, the most important individual for the future of the Fortna kingdom itself.

Such an open ending makes reasonable expecting a second season official announcement to happen -- rooting for such news!

This needs S2 ASAP!

Hikami is a man! Unexpected twist.

Sett losing his shit at the end! What did the dumb fanboy expect? I doubt he killed the bastard, but he had it coming.

It'll be funny if Nina is just chilling in the prison, making new friends while boys are crazy worried about her in the meantime.

Also, I suppose King didn't order the assassination of messengers.

I truly hate love triangles, but I got excited and spoiled myself for the rest of the manga around episode 9, and sadly, unless s2 is announced, we won't get anywhere near the good juicy guts of this show.

This is a rare case of "Seriously, go read the manga" from me. The love triangle shit still applies, but there's a lot of actually interesting stuff, more than Nina just disobeying everyone's suggestions and swooning for az/sett.

I'm rating the anime a 7, but the manga bumps it to an 8.5

Wow, what a non-starter for a season finale... Also, I know Nina has only been royalty for a hot minute, but why is it initially surprising to her that Hikami would want to kill Set? She seems to understand at least partly once Hikami visits her, but still maintains her anger. Girl, did you forget what Set did in those first days? Because the anime seems to want us to forget too. Do you see the people surrounding him (his brothers, the king, the countrymen and their values)? I don't really see any redeeming factors for this war-mongering, slavery-practicing country. Not to mention that there is no way Set will be able to stop his aunt from going to war. She really should've gone back with Azure. It also drove me nuts to still see her wavering between the two guys as if one of them wasn't the one who nearly killed her, scarred her for life, and manipulated other princesses until they broke as an excuse to invade their countries and kill innocent people. It reminded me of why I hate love triangles so much. I loved her spiciness and I loved Azure and the art style, but I have no desire to finish this with Set and this stupid love triangle.

What a crazy way to end the anime, especially with all the twists, and whatnot. However, a cliffhanger is diabolical since I doubt there'll be a second season.

Overall, it's not a bad show, but it sometimes got boring, and I felt like I had to slog through the episodes.

I really liked the characters, world, and overall dynamics in this anime. Definitely surprised me.
With this ending Sett seems rightfully pissed, but he did kill the snake so I'm super curious as to his next steps

out of everything airing this season I think this is easily one of the shows I hope to get a sequel announced soon.

They went hard on the josei aspects after the initial stuff. I wanted to continue the manga but looking at how things are and whats happening even in the manga best to wait whenever it ends and see if it gets desirable ending. Maybe in 5 or 10 years.

I feel the pacing got screwed up at the end - they stretched things out so that they could start to speed things up, just to get to a cliff.

This show just screams season 2 announcement in the future. No way they can just leave it at that cliffhanger but I guess it'll happen eventually.

Found myself liking Sett throughout the show more than Az tbh.

This final episode was decent, but Nina still hasn't shown much character growth. She continues to focus mostly on her own emotions and feelings, which is frustrating. It feels like her development has been slow, especially considering how much time has passed. She remains selfish to the extreme and refuses to learn from her mistakes, which adds to the show's overall feeling of annoyance.

On another note, Sett is alive. He killed the evil prince responsible for his poisoning (unless he's revealed to be alive later in the story, but the pool of blood seemed real, so maybe he’s really dead for good). This moment adds some intrigue, though it's still unclear how this will play out.

The rest of the characters mostly sit around and wait for something to happen, making the show feel stagnant. I’m honestly not sure if I want to see another season. The lack of meaningful character development, especially from Nina, and the passive nature of the rest of the cast make it hard to stay invested.

Loved the story and the art/character design in this show. Despite the animation being very lacking throughout, I gave it an 8 and hope it gets a second season.

Hikami is a guy, i don't see that coming. Nina is now being accused of killing Sett and beign sent to north and cold places. Azure and Sett is coming .
