| Grace using magic creatively is impressive imo. She and others faced off against a skeletal dragon and they had to come up with something at that moment. This was a team effort but definitely felt like she played the most important part. She continues to set the role of being a leader. |

| Sasuga Grace-Sama. She somehow ended up adding 3 new girls to the harem and raising her affection points with everyone unintentionally today, she’s never getting that quiet villainess role is she 😂 Masterful gambit from Grace to take responsibility for any misunderstanding the stuck up girls might have had and making it clear that she doesn’t discriminate against anyone. Not only did that knock them off their feet, but also gets them off Anna’s back and gives her her game accurate group of lackeys lol. Also, this studio really goes hard animating the most random scenes. Why did that scene of the girls confronting Anna go so hard?! Love how Kenzaburo rally uses his social skills and experience as a middle aged dad. So many shows have the characters isekai’d but they don’t act like adults. He actually knows how to navigate tricky social situations and get everyone a good resolution. It’s interesting that Kenzaburo daughter can control Orion. I reckon that’ll come in handy at some point. Nice set up episode with a little bit of everything. Worldbuilding with the dragon skeleton fight, Grace turning the boys’ familiars into weapons and of course our bullying situation Grace dealt with. Went by quick! |

| The groupies appeared!! And they didn't seem happy with the situation spreading false rumours and such but Grace showed her skills ones again solving the situation without trouble. It was also nice seeing her come up with a solution for the monster. |
| Grace really used her magic well to defeat that monster. It was really nice seeing her solve a confrontational situation without having to chastise those involved. |
| How hilarious this anime is, honestly. Loved the episode. Loved the scene Orion breathed fire due to Hinako accidently pressing a button on the dpad, scaring the girls after their BS. Loved when Grace burrowed Auguste's & Richard's magic circles to inscribe 'em with just "shield" & "sword", and that's all it takes for both of their beasts to immediately synchronize with their owners; Auguste & Richard. Loved the hilarious end scene as well, when Grace called the 3 girls by their names as though she remembers 'em, but he actually wrote 'em on the back side of his fan so it doesn't look like he actually read the names, burst outta laughter. |

| they really seemed to pay special attention to the animation in the scene where the 3 girls confronted Anna |
| I knew it. Anna's meter went up too lol Love that the daughter has control of the dragon in more than just options. Can't wait to see where that leads. |
| what do the girls say at 21:40? subs are something like "why, yes, of course" but i cant really hear what they say in japanese, so im wondering if its another language, a game term or something along those lines |
 |
| hilarious. i love how the bullies were dealt with |

| This anime is totally on point with its style of comedy and humor, I am loving this show. |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |
| great ep smart move from Violette san, he did really well to solve the problem like that |

| Now that I think about it.. yea things were going a bit too smoothly.. was wondering when this whole peasant thing would come up again. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Still enjoying the show, but ever since they acknowledged his family can see what he's doing the story progression has dragged down to a crawl compared to the earlier episodes. While its kinda funny to see his families reactions, it doesn't really add much to the story beyond mostly just jokes. The pacing difference is very noticeable it feels like so little has been happening in each episode with them constantly double addressing things from both perspectives. Imo would of been more fun to just experience the story from the dad's perspective and maybe sprinkle in the littlest bit of the family perspective here and there. Still a fun show though. |
Ishiguro Masakazu endcard! |
| That dialogue from Anna, showing what she learned from her parents, was masterful. I even teared up a little. Perfect speech to shut down some bullies. And Grace or rather, Kenzaburou—keeps outdoing himself, proving why he's a great parent and an amazing human being. He’s got everyone captivated, even the audience. |
 |
| Wasn’t expecting a deadhead dragon in this episode, but the scenes with it were really sick with how Grace found a way to get more out of their magic beasts, turning them into a sword and shield respectively, they went from trusty sidekicks to way more badass real fast. And the wand + fan = fand is a cool idea as well, personalized wands for everyone would be sweet, like Lambert’s “Hell’s Gate” fantasy lol, interesting timing on that too because I’m currently watching an anime called “Gilgamesh” with a location called Heaven’s Gate. And wow, not only did Kenzaburou masterfully handle the bullies that would have been Grace’s suck-ups, but Anna did as well later in the episode, I like that she didn’t need any help there and was just raised to know what to say to people like those girls, although they all ended up loving Grace by the end anyway thanks to Kenzaburou using his skills as a working adult once again, but everyone becoming friends is pretty beautiful honestly, all in their shared love for Grace, now if only Kenzaburou could remember all their names lol, the fan cheat sheet works for now. |
| Loved seeing Grace make everyone get along in the end. Very cute seeing Anna Doll have complete faith in Grace, and dad mode is peak. Anime of the season by far. |
 |
Mirality said: Seems right. The handle of the wand is wider that the tip, so the handle should go towards the rim of the fan. See how the maker holds it at 15:49. Probably easier to draw the wand out oriented that way too.That magic fand looks like it's mounted backwards from what it should be. I admit, I used to write down character names in notepad to help recall who was who in various anime. |

I still enjoyed this episode but...
If I could scream from the abyss. Just ONE thing. That would be heard by every anime/manga creator the world over. It would be this:
"ALL ANIME COULD USE LIKE 92% LESS INTERNAL MONOLOGUE PLEASE"
"TRUST THE AUDIENCE UNDERSTANDS THE CONTEXT AND DOES NOT NEED IT REPEATED AT THEM AD NOISEAM IN TEXT/VOICE-OVER FORMAT WHAT THEY ALREADY INTUITED ORGANICALLY"
That was still one thing, just in 2 screams. Thank you.
I mean it's just kind of lonely to be served great ideas in such ill-suited format all the time. This anime reminds me of that pain but it was somehow this episode that was the final straw on the camels back so to speak.

| @Zeemod155 What? The whole point of this series is seeing Kenzaburou constantly rambling in his head and debating things by himself, followed by him making the wrong (actually right) and right choices based on those thoughts. You remove that stuff and the fun literally goes away. |
| For all her groupie behaviour, at least Anna has some backbone. |
| It doesn't matter if its combat or a messy confrontation, Grace knows how to defuse the situation! Those snob entourage are better as friends than as thorns in the side. |

HOOfan_1 said: they really seemed to pay special attention to the animation in the scene where the 3 girls confronted Anna I noticed that too. Anna was really hammering every word she was saying. And it felt like her movements matched the actual words and the performance. The whole speech was kind of moving, honestly. They could've just made her flap her mouth with a stern facial expression, but they went beyond that. I wonder if there's one talented animator who's just desperate to stand out (or just have fun). The animation in this show is just passable most of the time, but there have been a few moments that look (distractingly) good. |
| Better storytelling than the previous episode. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Magico Fandooo~ Not gonna lie, Anna talking about what her parents taught her was pretty moving. Almost teared up alongside Kenzaburou and his daughter. |
| Wait, why Grace decides to apologize to the 3 bullies after what they said to Anna? |

| grace's fan really came in handy, and what a convenient tool to use as a wand since she is never without her fan anyway lol maybe grace should just enhance all those pretty boys' magic circles when using their beast familiars & give them some major boost lol |
       |
| I'm in love with this series. And I gotta say the ending theme suggests oji-san wa genderfluid bixesual. Slay, queen ♥♥♥ |
| Kenzaburou's social skills always come in handy. I find myself learning a thing or two from him. He’s like the ideal father. I look forward the next episode because it seems like it will be a fun one.I also hope the magic exhibition lives up to the hype. |
| why does this ed still hit so hard though? |
 |
| This is way to easy to empathise with..... |
 |
| Three cheers for the Matsuken Samba ED song and vid 💃🏽🕺🏽 |
