Well, the serie passed the 3 episodes test for me. Will see where it will lead.

Livius know how to make his lady wet. But his lady know how to make everybody wet, literally :P

I like the chemistry between Livius and Nike. It have develloped fastly, almost too fast.

I still don't really like those rain song. Kinda break the medieval mood and goes on a trip to Disney World xD

Seriously, whenever Neil talks, all I hear is Chamber. That's all my mind can associate Tomokazu Sugitas' voice with now.

After this episode, I was convinced this is something I should definitely keep watching. It's nothing so special, but I found the perfect word to describe it. Charming. It just has a certain charm to it that makes it enjoyable.

The one gripe would be this.

#1 rule about insert songs: don't over use insert songs. I'mma get tired of 'tenda rain' real fast if this becomes a regular thing. -__- Hopefully, along with the character development, Nike develops a new song... and then doesn't use that one too much either.

Ever since Nike first sang her rain song I've been expecting a band to just be sitting off in the corner or just somehow floatin' in the air following her around. Playing music to her vocals. If they did a shot during one of her songs, even for a second, of a band playing to her song I don't think I'd stop laughing.

She was beautiful wearing that dress.

I'll continue to watch this for sure but it isn't anything special for me. Unless it really picks up in the next few episodes, I won't pick up the manga.

Have to say I'm really liking this anime so far. It's currently sticking pretty close to the manga too.

I'm wondering how much they're going to animate though. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for 24/26 episodes. There's enough material at least, with the pace they're going at.

They're talking about Nike kissing Livius in bed at the end, not what happened at the beginning. To be honest I though he just pulled her towards him, not a kiss.


Maybe you have a bad fansub? In Japanese, he refers to having done it before, so it's no big deal, to which she replies that it wasn't by choice.


He freaking kissed her.
Fuck it, Nike should have slapped him or something. I mean, he freaking pulled her hair (cause he is damn small), and kissed her!! That's so fucking rude, man =_=
I don't know if I will like this guy. The only thing he did that I like so far is that he brings flowers to Nike's room, and that thank you at the end. That thing with the shit nobles too.
Nike is just <3

Nike's voice is just wonderful~ I didn't admire it at first but now, just wow.. Hope she sings songs other than Tender Rain here..

The two of them make an awesome romantic/comedic duo.. I'm liking them both (although Livius's voice is unfitting lol)

Nike in that party dress is stunning~

"You must be thirsty"

Yes. Thirsty indeed. Especially considering how he went from talking shit one moment, and the next he's trying to suck up to her and kiss her hand. Lol. What a sad existence.

Great episode. Despite what feels like a few issues with the pacing, granted that I haven't read the manga, so I'm not sure if the pacing is good or not, I'm really enjoying this series so far.
Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast.

Yeah. I said it.

Man I can't bear with the insert song with the random english lines mixed in. It was so cringe I skipped it. I'm not very sure about the age gap either, Livi being 15 in the anime and 12 in the manga and Nike being 17

Apparantely there was a mistake in translating the manga and he's actually 15 so it isn't bad at all, he's only a little short and will probably grow as he gets older.

Livius is so cocky but then again, he might have a huge dick. Let's not belittle him. LOL at him sleeping naked though. He just wants to get laid.

Those lords were pissing all over Nike and now they're licking her boots.

I don't think this dress she wore was particularly pretty. I would like to see her in another dress.

what is wrong with "it's a tender rain" guys?? in google translate, if you wrote that, and translate it to japanese, you will get "Sore wa yasashī ame desu" that mean "it's a gentle/friendly rain" lol . . .

I honestly wished that Nike (I am always reminded of the company when i hear that name lol) did with that idiot minister what she did with the thieves in episode 1. I also wished that she didn't decide to summon the rain in the end and kept to her stance. I understand why she did it but that could have easily been misunderstood by the kid, and pretty much everyone else who didn't hear his denial probably misunderstood it too. She is already strong, but I wished her to be even stronger tbh. this idiot kid needs thorough a correction of mentality after all.

Still, so the far the series has been pretty enjoyable, and it seems like next episode will have some of what I want :).

You mean when Livius pulled Nike towards him (by her hair) so he could speak into her ear? No.

Several people have said it was a kiss, so I'm not entirely sure... In one scene it looks like a kiss, but the next frame hes talking. Pretty hard to tell.
I think they kissed. As what Nike and the butler's reaction, hes blushing and according to Livius said thats its no diff for 2nd time or 3rd time

Damn, this anime build up so well to the point of song.. I'm teary the second time in 2 episodes.. Just damn.. ;P
Boy could stop with his smugness, though.. But it's whatever.. I guess we'll have moments like that, and it's easy to ignore so far.. If it'll become worse - will see.. But so far - ok, whatever, he's rude at times fool, whatever..

I'm liking the show so far, and I'm glad that they seem to have stopped with all the cringy 4th wall breaking comedy of the first episode.
But I'm not a fan of the rain song, it being a modern, at the time this anime was made, J-Pop ballad seems out of place with the anime's setting and is pretty distracting.
As this is the second episode in a row that they have used it I hope it doesn't turn up in every episode.
