| They really played with my heart, I didn't expect that but it's acceptable. 8.5/10 for me |

Oh, but she has used it repeatedly, she specifically pointed out choosing her husband through this. RavenWolf1 said: If I want to continue from novels from what volume should start reading from? We're up to the end of volume 4 now, although there are some bonus stories in this volume you might want to check before starting with the next one. |
 |
| This final episode gave me goosebumps especially the revelation of the truth from Albert to Souma. That was a solid detail of the plot and it was satisfying. It's really good to have animes like Genkoku that you will feel the satisfaction upon ending without feeling the need for a sequel. |

If you're against that for some reason, the start of Volume 5. Thanks. I probably continue from vol 5. because I don't usually like to read books if I already know the story of it. It just boring repeating. Also time is money so.... |
 |
| This show is mind numbingly boring and nothing encapsulates that more than the season finale comprising entirely of 3 separate conversations. the back story was at the very least a little interesting though |
| I really try to give this show a second chance but till I'm still disappointed, well this is the last time I'll ever lay my eyes on it so goodbye, good riddance |
| Hmm, it's good they ended the season with this story. They cut quite a bit out though, including the whole ordeals the Queen had to go through to get through the Succession Crisis and leading up to getting Albert crowned. Also, a bit sad they didn't get a certain Dragon girl to make a little cameo here. So his reassurance to the King that he would've lived the sacking of Randel and save Liscia would prove to be true on the original timeline. A hulking serpentine dragon descending on the castle on the end would've been a nice little Easter egg, even if just a quick shot. People that hadn't read the novels yet would've think it'd be ominous for a dragon to be flying around as the castle is crumbling, after all! Add more suspense to the scene as well. Oh well. The series getting a second season at all was pretty surprising. Hopefully it gets a third as well. The Naden arc is pretty lovely, after all. |

| A nice ending that wrapped up a lot, and answered many questions. I like anime like this, also glad to see souma has a cute merchant waifu now alongside liscia and the others solid 7.5/10 |

grr_mal said: I'm pretty disappointed by this episode's "plot twist". The minor nitpicks first: - Explaining it as a memory transfer vs vision of a potential future vs literal time travel just makes no observable difference. To the one using it it will seem exactly like time travel so there is no point on calling it anything else. They would have no way of knowing if the original world/timeline continues after its use, etc. - Her using it on someone other than herself makes so little sense. When she used it on her own, she has the memory and can be sure it worked. But to know that it would work on someone else she would have to only rely on their testimony, which is quite less reliable and convincing. Just what kind of experimentation has she already done with it to be convinced that it would work like that? Now the more important flaws, which I expect will be "resolved" with some skill limitations retconned later on: - How can she be so inept that she'd fail to save her kingdom or achieve anything she wants with such overpowered ability? Even without a summoned hero this is the ultimate cheat ability, anything is possible with it unless there were some undisclosed limitations. - The "hero" did not ask the most obvious and important question: when, how and how often can she use it again? The benefits of it are just so mindboggling that ignoring it is the ultimate idiocy. And the most important point: - Even with a single use, it just added yet another overpowered card in favor of our hero who was already an overpowered power-fantasy isekai protagonist to begin with. The writing certainly did not need to go that route, unless it aims to eventually turn him into a god or something - definitely not the impression that it was trying to paint previously. Her ability is not omnipotent ability. Even if she has that ability, she doesn't have ability to save the kingdom. It's literally explained by her that she tried to alter the kingdom fate many times by choosing different husband before. Imagine yourself in the same situation? Imagine you have this ability and your country will be nuked next month, what can you do? Explaining the whole situation than making the said person experiencing themselves are whole different thing. Which will be easier? Going to your president say explaining your country will be nuked, or showing them the actual event? All the nitpicks and flaws are about the ability. I don't know why you are focusing on this ability alone and disregard all the interesting things the show has. |

Alright, I guess this story is divided into two parts then. Still, a cameo of Naden in the form of some dragon silhouette quickly approaching the castle ominously would've been nice. |

| Oi oi Liscia, he said "ai shiteiru" and you answer with "daisuki"? Weak resolve. Totally ruined 0/0 bad romance. Lol jk marry already and MATE AND REPRODUCE. lel. Welp, what a cliffhanger. Waiting for season 2. It will happen. |
| bruh |
| Hmm, average kiss... lmao but the feelings behind it could've been more. Btw, (I didn't read most of the comments but...) I didn't know they would use some kind of time travel plot... wait, it's already the last episode? lol That was a good show but I hoped they voiced the "alternate future story" of the king instead of just giving the summary of it... The ending scene was rather... bland... but I enjoyed this nonetheless. |
| 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. |
| Though you could fool me with all the political stuffs? This is basically Smartphone 2.0, but the girls are much dumber in the affection arm race. |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| Usually the introduction of time travel/shifting tends to weaken the plot but I think it is handled well here so it is one of the best episodes so far. Finally we get a kiss as well. 5/10 very average but the waifu factor is nice. |
 |
| I didn't like how Souma showed himself in this situation. Only now the MC has learned the main thing in his life - he is just a puppet. Why? Everything that happened around was someone else's plan, and he was just a pawn, with his character he should have fallen into depression, as it was earlier in simpler situations, but in this case he took it as Ahh... Ok, that's how it should be. |
 |
| Bro wtf how did I miss the ep when it aired??? I totally forgot that there was one more ep left. Souma masterclass with that confession omg I’m so happy for he and Liscia. This season was definitely better than s1, I’ll have to check out the LNs at some point. 8/10 |
 |
| Now things make sense. I enjoyed this part of season 1 and hope they release season 2 soon. |

Weasalopes said: There's a problem with having read the LN in this case, and that's the changes made in the anime concerning the sending back of memories. In the LN, the Queen could only send them back to herself, and once only per 'life'. It was something she'd do when she was dying, or at least fully believed her life was about to end. That being the case, Alfred acting as he did upon summoning Souma wasn't a case of believing via his own experience, of having his own memories of what occurred, but rather believing in his wife, accepting that what she said was to occur if they chose a certain path was true. Not "I was shown the disaster that followed my choices" but "I believed my wife such that when she said my actions led to such and such, my trust in her led me to act differently.". The LN is quite explicit about the memories being sent back to both of them: |
| |
| For the first episode I felt bored watching it, but after watching the last episode it changed my judgment a bit. Unexpectedly the story was pretty cool and I finally got to see Kazuya and Liscia kissing. I give it a score of 8/10. |
 |
| I actually like where the shows end with not many big loose ends, except maybe the demon lord's identity. This way, I think it would be fine if they're never going to make any sequel. Though I'll still watch it for sure. So far it has been a fun series. It's still a power fantasy for sure, considering how Souma almost always managed to solve any kind of problem quite easily. Which is why I try not to think about the logic too much. One thing I like is how Liscia and Souma has always been destined to be with each other, even in another timeline. Also, finally they embraced each other. Happy ends. |
| Well, after my disappointment growing with each episode, I have to admit it sure ended on a high note. The whole memories time travel was a really nice addition, tho it could've been foreshadowed better - as it is it felt like a random bomb. I'd like to think that everything going smoothly was meant to be such foreshadowing, but tbh it went too easily in other places too, killing such hopes. Solid 6/10 for me. Wouldn't mind S3. |

Yes, post that in this topic another 10 times. I'm sure it will help. |
| Wasn't expecting time travel to be added to the picture but it does explain reasoning of some characters. Kind of sad there was no progress at all with the war against demons. The lack of anything on that subject makes me feel like there isn't any war at all. |
 |
| this kind of show actually refreshing, out of all adventure fantasy isekai. I hope there's more season incoming. |
| not a bad ending but i feel like for a few episodes there it got really preachy and propaganda like and way off course from it's usual nature. honestly i started off with a lot of hope and got really disappointed by the end. idk if i'll watch s3. probably, but the bar will be much lower. in fact, i might just read the source material to get an idea. |
 |
| so carmine was more loyal to Souma then the king sins in first timeline he took Souma's side when king caved in to corrupt nobles |
| That time leap plot twist was unexpected. It explains a lot of things. The main one is why the King immediately gave his throne to Souma. I feel bad about former King Albert and his wife. A decent show I'd say. I think the below-average production value held it back. Souma is OP but not like the average isekai protagonist. He seemingly has the solution to everything. And every episode he has to say something like "back in my world we used to do this all the time!" which got old fast. I would've liked to see him struggle more. He's 19 and he's already overqualified to rule a medieval kingdom. And he became like that just for being a history nerd. If the isekai world's problems can be solved so easily with the real world's past then it means the isekai world isn't so unique. But I guess the author wasn't going for that. I hope this anime gets a sequel, hopefully with a higher budget. Idk if I'd watch it if it does get another season. It's the type of show that you need to be in a very specific mood to fully enjoy. I can totally understand why some people might consider it boring. I struggled to finish it too. So it took me longer to finish it than usual. Has anyone else noticed the problem with the subtitles in this anime? When Souma is having internal monologue the subs aren't in italics but are kept normal which can be confusing. And sometimes subs overlap with other text too. It seemed lazy. |

| I had guessed that there was some time travel shenanigans and presumed only a small group of people had come back from the future (King, Queen, and Georg), so this revelation didn't come as that big of a surprise to me, but it was nonetheless nice to have confirmation. With the King and Queen ready to depart, we're now ready to move on to a future that's definitely unknown, so this is kind of where the story really gets started. While I feel like this is not a bad stopping point for an adaptation and the truth is series like these don't typically get fully adapted, I'd love to see a third season. |
