Gotta admire Alicia and her work ethic. Pushing herself to reach the near impossible is admirable even it did seem out of reach at first.

I know Liz is important in this show but still can't really stand her. She always has the same face and reactions in almost every scene while

Now I'm convinced that the blind guy in the village is the King's brother.

What's Alicia age right now?

@WaterMage so that means she could do nothing and get into school since the school's minimum age is also 15, doesn't make sense to me.

0 Alicia screentime = worst episode.

If she gonna stay locked up for 2 years and turn 15 whole thing might arguably waste of time but the fact she pulled through shows her desire and determination. And she came back stronger now I hope she kick Liz down to earth.

Green and yellow dude also caught on the "Saint" and Duke now too. But wtf they did for 2 years time moves way too fast without nothing happening except for Alicia. Duke's spirit was a fun one.

Gonna miss cute Alicia :(

@phantomfandom yes when she turned 15 her father approached her but she didn't want to quit halfway that's why. She didn't take the short cut.

felt like a fluff / filler episode, but all good.

Anyone else happy that takehito koyasu (sp) got a positive role for once? He's always the bad guy but he's a king this time!

Alicia post time-skip is smoking hot btw

4.7/5

I thought I wasn't going to care too much for an episode without Alicia in it, but it was actually pretty good

That being said, 2 years seems a bit excessive

No Alicia for an entire episode is kinda crazy 0/5 😂 nah in all seriousness this was still a really good episode because of the Gill development. I still can’t believe she locked herself in there for TWO YEARS. Felt like a DBZ training arc lmao.

It’s sweet that Alicia dad is just a normal dude at the end of the day and wants his daughter to be happy and have friends. Respect for encouraging Gil to keep supporting her and stay her friend. I mean she does have the nonce prince but that ain’t exactly someone you want around your kid lmao.

It’s great seeing the people of Roana doing well thanks to Alicia teaching them how to farm and what crops work best. You give a man a fish you feed him for a day, teach a man how to fish and feed him for life. Their community has completely turned out and with Duke in charge of it now, it should get even better. Can’t believe there’s someone in this show with my name! First time I’ve heard “Nate” in an anime lol

Liz def needs an investigation and I’m glad Duke looking into it. I’ve been saying forever that her harem isn’t normal. It’s like she’s subconsciously putting a spell on people to love her.

TIMESKIP ALICIA OH MY GOD SHES SO PRETTY. Gil instantly fell in love and I don’t blame him! Can not wait to see her back in action the whole episode next week.

WTF! 2 goddamn years, that’s bullshit. She looks amazing and I hope she went above and beyond and made it way past level 90. If not I don’t think it would’ve taken her that long. I hope she puts that bitch, Liz, and all her entourage in their place. I’m tired of all their constant bickering and putting her down, especially in front of Duke and her older brother. I hope they find out what bullshit spell she’s using to control all those idiots following her. I’m sure she’ll come up with some bullshit move to excuse her behavior. She’s supposed to be the saint, but she acts like a fucking demon.

Two years, dang that girl is dedicated, I hope having this episode without her has a reward in the next episodes.

That is also two years of the prince hearing awful rumors about Alicia, while Liz's popularity grows in unexplainable ways.

Could it be that Liz is also an other worlder like Alicia, her playing the game too?
(that is a rhetorical question, please don't give spoilers)

Would be interesting.

Oh, and who is that girl in the water, I don't remember her? I guess we'll probably see more later. (that is a rhetorical question, please don't give spoilers)

hm... Gill has a crush on Alicia now, that is going to be interesting.
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.

Alright, as I was hoping, seems blonde and mosshead are coolio.
She likely just kept her roll going and went too 100, I will be very disappointed with 90. She has to be able to counter Liz, the real villainess, otherwise will almost die again.
Liz is also obsessed with Duke, but Duke has standards and Alicia excels at them.

I didn't even think about that. They did have multi-year training time-skips with the main one that comes to mind is hypobolic time chamber usage or something

I lock myself in the house for a week, pasty skin, spots, bad posture. Alicia after 2 years looks like a frikkin goddess. That’s some strong magic she’s learned, level is probably over 9000!

A decent episode even without Alicia's presence.
Gill is going along greatly with everyone.
Duke taking control of the Rona situation is a good thing, they seem to be doing very well at the moment.
We finally got a brief look at Mel.
Over 2 years and she is finally done, I wonder if Alicia actually made it to 100 or even surpassed it?

I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together.

All respect to Alicia; now that’s true dedication and effort. Spending two years in seclusion to train her magic is impressive, and I’m hoping she’ll even reveal she’s surpassed level 90! On top of that, she’s already earned the trust of many citizens of Loana. Instead of just offering a quick fix, she’s teaching them sustainable techniques, like efficient harvesting methods, so they can become self-sufficient over time.

In contrast, Liz is all talk without much real help. Thankfully, Duke and a few others are done putting up with her and seem ready to investigate whether Liz is using some kind of charm on her followers.

Did not like it as much as some, mainly because obviously NO ALICIA! Made it drag just a little. And every time I see Liz I trust her less & I like her even LESS than that.
Also, that one guy was right on the Money. When Liz started, a lot of girls at the School hated her. What is going on?

Still hate the dad. The way the time skips are done feels dumb. Especially since you know that absolutely no progress is going to be made in any of the side plots and it’s going to be as if no time passed since the characters last saw each other. Also. Need more Alicia.

that's quite the time skip. Alicia looks great, and hopefully she broke through the barrier on her abilities that was present from the game, that would be rad

also happy to see others at the academy who aren't totally under Liz's control, having just a few more allies is a huge mental relief, I'll bet

Although the condition is for her to reach 90, I believe she has surpassed at least 100. Otherwise, why would she stay there for long? Anyway, she's now even more beautiful.

Now I know why I have a gut negative reaction against Liz. It's because her face resembles Nunnally.

This was a weird one, you’re telling me Alicia spent two years in that little house and nothing important happened in all that time? Liz didn’t convert the whole school into simps? Gill didn’t grow gills and need to live in the ocean for the rest of his life? I did like the moment with Alicia’s dad at least, he’s a chill guy who just got a bad rap, and the stuff with Duke was interesting too, not sure who he spoke to in the fountain but evidently it didn’t mean much if Duke didn’t do anything with the info he learned in two years lol.

Weirdest thing of all tho was that Alicia went from cute to hot in the time she spent alone, but didn’t somehow become a hermit that’s too afraid to leave lol. I feel like going that long with no human contact can’t be good for you, also she’s not being much a villainess in there either. I guess one thing is certain tho, and that’s that the show isn’t as good without her lol, I don’t think the episode was bad or anything but I could really feel her absence, I think seeing some of what she was up to while she was alone would have been good but I guess they wanted to save her age progression for the reveal. Oh well, I’m sure she’ll be back to doing her villainess thing next time, with what little time she has left before Liz graduates anyway, not sure if she’s doing much watching with that little time lol.

Who is this mysterious, invisible aide to Prince Duke? I’m curious—I had almost forgotten she even existed.

With the villainess off-screen, other characters finally had time to develop. I wish we could see more of this spread throughout the story. But I suppose that's my problem; I expect too much from just 13 episodes.

In an ideal world, we’d have 24-episode seasons with 40-minute episodes to flesh out the story. But reality isn’t so generous.

Your comment reminded me of a discussion between the King and the Five Nobles. They spoke about how the Saint’s arrival would bring both turmoil and progress. Their tone hinted that this change wouldn’t be easy.

Maybe the heroine is secretly evil, with a power to manipulate public perception. She might control how people see her, hiding her dark side until it’s too late.

@stealthyone Absolutely! "The saint" is something eles, obviously evil. But in reality it is often in politics and sects. If some people claim slaim themselves as pure, saint or good and other peolpe belive it, they will also belive and try to destroy those who will be framed as inferior, bad, non-human, etc. It happens all the time in human history.

We will see progress of Alicia's powers next time. But do you see also how foxy was skipping two years in terms of romance? Now Alicia is in much more appropriate age to start relation with Duke. Also Duke literally couldn't put his hands on her during her seclusion. Very demure, very mindful and modest :D

Thank god Henri is able to stand up for Alicia.

The short blonde kid came in clutch though. I'm glad he's noticed things have been weird, esp with girls who used to hate Liz and now suddenly like her lol

What the fuck? How did 2 years go by like that? And Liz graduates in less than a year? What was the point of that, to just prove her determination? Poor Gill and Duke. I'm surprised Duke hasn't lost interesting considering its been 2 years. He should've gone to see her regardless.


Furthermore, how are the people in Roana doing?
