Some parts of the episode was awkward.

However, we got to witness some more advanced usage of magic. Feels like the episode wanted to show off what Grace and the others have left so far and no better way to do so than an exhibition. Grace is still the center of this anime and that level of charisma is unmatched.

Weekly dose of my queen Grace

Lmao that was such a masterful way for Grace to decline and redirect her father’s gift to her cousin. No one gets their feelings hurt and Leopold looks like a genius! Reminded me of the scene a couple episodes ago where she diffused the beef with the girls. Truly putting that 50 year old brain to use.

Bonding over their love of spinning tips was sweet too. I love how Grace is more like the parent to her father than other way around πŸ˜‚

I’m telling ya, the animation in this series is so sneakily good. They had no business cooking with the magic exhibition fights like that! Anna and Grace’s magical ability synergy looked so dope. Made short work of the Guignol whole showcasing how far Anna’s come. Even with her lower MP levels, the combos she can form with Grace/Orion are dope!

What I love so much about Grace is how she has the ability to make everyone feel important and give them a sense of belonging. She did it with her dad earlier and then allowing Anna to take the lead during the exhibition today just totally improved her confidence! Even with the weight loss gimmick at the end, she never made Anna feel uncomfortable or pressured and praised her for gaining muscle/encouraged her to keep eating healthy. 100 affection points!

Another amazing episode where Grace showcases the advantages of being an isekai’d dad πŸ˜‚

Grace understanding the worries of a father and improving the men's confidence.
And she also helped out Anna which was nice.
Seems like the event was a big success and with the introduction of her father now i wonder about her mother.

Another week, more of the peak, lol jk. Seriously though Aija-do is sending a fantastic adaption to us of a great manga. Production has been solid the whole way through, jokes are funny, characters are all entertaining, honestly I gotta say this is probably the best "Villainess" anime ever made.


Also can we just take a moment to appreciate how there isn't any fan service being thrown at us in this show like at all? I mean it's literally anywhere and everywhere these days. I get that some people like it, but more often than not shows add it in when it's entirely unnecessary and do it poorly so it ends up being a detraction from the experience more than anything else. Even at the most easily addable moment when Anna was putting on her skirt they kept it free of "additions" and portrayed it in a non "fan service" type way.

I can't wait for more of the wholesome Dad and of course "Grace" entertainment next week.

Grace and Leopold interaction is equal part awkward and equal part understandable. I'd imagine it would be hilarious if Kenzaburo tried the canon route.

The magic show was good, but damn that whole fitness part really was fun for me.

Grace's dad is such a DILF, and I like that he's kinda stupid, though I begin to worry for this country when he's a minister of finance.

Grace's dad was quite the character haha, I hope we'll get to see him again!
Magic show was interesting, nice to see how well Anna and Grace work together.
My favorite joke of the episode was Grace accidentally making Anna overeat, which actually end up being a good thing and making her a better wizard.

Decent episode overall.

Fun 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.

This is becoming very slice-of-life, and I'm not sure how the show will hold up in that format...

I guess a few episodes like this wouldn't hurt, though.

Grace’s dad is really wholesome, even if he messed up getting a gift meant for a 6 year old it was still really sweet of him for thinking of his daughter, of course his daughter now harbor’s the spirit of someone else’s dad but it is because of Kenzaburou that his ass wasn’t embarrassed lol, I’d say it evens out. The Beyblade battle was cool too, that’s absolutely gonna be me and my friends when we’re that old, and Grace joining in made it even better but Kenzaburou showed off his skills a bit too much there lol.

And the 2nd half with the magic exhibition battles actually looked really sick, it’s always a nice surprise when a series that doesn’t really need great animation gets it, it makes this gem of a show even more of a gem. And ngl they kinda got me with the Anna gaining weight bit, turns out it was gained muscle instead, and of course this was also from Kenzaburou’s wisdom when he accidentally made her eat more instead of going on a diet lol, I am with Kenzaburou on the “a little meat on the bones is more attractive” thing but I can’t deny Anna getting shredded is also a hot idea.

@Aversa
Same here, I'm really curious about Grace's mother.

Anyway, even though she hasn't appeared yet in the story I really like how she dances to Matsuken Samba in the ED (nice hips movement) so I'm already a fan of Jacqueline.

@Mainnus Kenzaburo did try following the cannon route several times. It turned out more of stern advice than something evil.

Lol at Kenzaburo unintentionally motivating Anna to boost her stamina before/in time for the exhibition. The chain effect is just wild.

And that :I face with the narrator commenting that he finally understood the shiny effect. Priceless.

I was not expecting Beyblades to be featured in this series but there they are, a part of me hopes they'll end up being plot relevant and show up again, rather than being a one-off gag

Haha, that Grace search seems like it's in reverse... Normally you'd enter the recipient as a search term when looking for a gift, not the other way around. xD

Anyone else find it amusing that in the OP, shortly after Grace gets a short close-up shot animated every frame, the other characters in the hallway get a longer shot animated only every 5 or 6 frames? As if Grace, alone, consumed a few seconds of animation budget in under a second.

Same. Surely Kenzaburou can't stay in that world forever.

Another great ep of this masterpiece. Kenzaburou is a great isekai MC and this is one of the best Villainess anime that i've seen.

This episode give a focus in the contrast between Kenzaburou and Grace reactions from Grace's father gift. This made me worry about where the True Grace is.
I can't see the True Grace agreeing with all the decisions that Kenzaburou has made until now in her public image, I hope we can see both them talking with each other soon.

I'm really hope this show gets a season 2 announcement the fastest as possible.

Bruh, Grace's dad comes from below and couldn't teach his daughter to respect the commoners in the original story? wtf?

Kenzaburo had to come so that Grace wouldn't be an asshole with Anna ._.

The quality of the animation has been disgustingly pathetic since mid-season. It's getting to a point where you're thinking: I'm gonna read the manga, this is just obscenely ugly.

As the title of the episode leaks It's Exhibition time! Around 11:30 to 11:50 the fight is just ridiculously poorly animated with some cookie cut corner with stale and almost stick-like animation.
Using the classic stale animation when the characters talks and only the mouth is animated.
This feels like a 1990's He-Man episode.
