| While I'm not sure exactly what direction the story is heading towards, at least it's good to know Dorotha and Adnois are on better terms now. They also encountered new people on their journey including a guy behind bars. Not much has changed about Adnois as he seems untrustworthy of others. However, I did not expect the final few minutes of the episode to get emotional. |

| The Empress is.. a interesting character to say the least... Due to the death of Emperor Goethe, a new emperor ascends to the throne. Amidst the nation's keen interest, taking the spotlight and stepping onto the stage is Empress Dorothea. What she reveals as the new empress is something unexpected. Meanwhile, the head of the intelligence agency, Shirousagi, is personally pursuing the whereabouts of Adonis. Wait, the empress loves Adonis? The very same empress who sanctioned Adonis' 10-year seclusion? The one who attempted to eliminate him multiple times through the emperor? The one who (perhaps) hails from the future, giving her knowledge of his actions, whereabouts, and everything he'll do? An empress acting like a K-pop idol... This series was already on the edge of being overly dramatic, but at least it keeps you guessing. Didn't expect to feel sympathy for a fleeting side character who only appeared for a brief episode. |

| A bizarre opening and an emotional ending. Despite its many shortcomings, the worldbuilding is set on a solid foundation.  |
| Watching this right after watching an episode of Frieren has to be one of the most disappointing feelings I've ever experienced in my life. |
 |
| It tickled my heart strings a little with the prison scene. But now we know next metropolis location. I demand blood and vengeance! |

| Well that was definitely one of the coronations of all time lmao. An idol concert is an interesting way to ring in a new era. And she’s in love with Adonis?? After she tried to kill him?? I’m a little lost on the direction the story wants to go in but I’m gonna let the author cook because I do love the premise, lol Very weird episode overall, felt a little filler-y. We did get some really nice Adonis and Doroka moments and the similarities between she and Adonis and Adonis and Chloe are definitely starting to show up. She’s such a pure and gentle soul, albeit a bit naive. I think she’s the perfect compliment to the edgy revenge obsessed Adonis. He talks a mean game, but you can see she’s taken a lot of the edge off of him already. The abandoned police station was such a fun sequence. Doroka is the biggest crybaby in the world 😂 was expecting Adonis to snap but honestly he was way more patient than I thought he would be. Think he just enjoys Doroka company even if he doesn’t say it outwardly rn. The old couple was a predictable, but still sad twist. I’m wondering how he’s survived in there that long tho. That police station is long abandoned and in a state of disrepair that suggests it’s been years since those people left. . It’s a shame his wife is as persecuted like that, I hope he can find peace some day. |

| okay Doroka has completely turned into a useless and soulless object the "comedic" bits are so fucking annoying I had to speed up to x1.5 pretty sure a rock lying in a distant forest has far more interesting things happening around it than what we witnessed during these 20 minutes this show has got to be the biggest disappointment of the season for me.I can't believe how it becomes progressively worse with every new episode |
| The Redia Empire's New Imperial Coronation after Emperor Goethe's death, and Queen Dorothea takes over...in a somewhat idol-ish fashion. Of course, a witch being emperor is seen as blasphemous, as the world plunges into yet a deeper rabbit hole, and meanwhile, her childhood frend-cum Intel Department Head Shirousagi takes over to find both Adonis and Doroka wandering in the desert. Doroka's Love Magic, which she could've used to manipulate Adonis, she did not, and their first impressions would've sucked right out of the gate. Into the deserted Sand Land, Doroka is stacked with Punch's items, which include items of necessity...and a snowman tent, yeah. Exploring the small town further, and Doroka gets on Adonis's nerves when it comes to the biggest building in the vicinity, the police station, other than a worn floor, creatures like rats and a hologram, hearing someone hum a song, he happens to be an inmate trapped behind bars, and the only one left in this town, which the prison walls doesn't give him good memories. Upon further request, the next city of Mamuta is a rather a long distance away. Doroka thinking that the old man needs saving, but Adonis thinks otherwise, bearing that him and his dead wife Sasha will live out their days in sustenance until death. Onwards to Mamuta...there's nowhere else in Sand Land... |

| it was a good episode, the prison guy decide to die there... |

| Better than the last episode, but Adonis is still abusive af |
      |
| That felt really short. Sad ending... |
 |
| Idk felt like another meaningless episode. I hope the pace picks up again next week. |
 |
| a surprising amount of comedic moments, no idea where this is going. |

After the anime finishes. Already have all the volumes. |

| Eh, the episode was ok as it was all over the place. We have a witch as empress now and performing an idol show while appearing to cast that love spell of hers to unsuspecting citizens. I do wonder if she plans on eradicating most humans or something. Also, the part with Adonis and Doroka in that abandoned desert town was a bit odd especially with that guy in the jail cell singing to his deceased wife. |
| this episode can be skip... nothing really important, just got the information of the next big city after saw a guy who wait death in a prison of a desert village |
| This episode was a bit odd for the lack of a better word. I don't get what this show is trying to be. Felt early on like some weird homage to Macross and then we switched to the retrofuturistic western vibe of many anime from thr 80's and 90's. It feels like very little of consequence happened but maybe we're proven completely wrong next episode. Impossible to tell. |

| I'm so done with this anime after suffering through the last few episodes. Kept watching this anime out of morbid curiosity but its becoming so blatantly obvious the little amount of care that's going into this thing. Super low budget, slideshow-esque where the only animation goes into moving mouths (just barely) and maybe some basic body turns. I was expecting the "idol show" part in the beginning to, idk, do more than just standing still and occasionally wink at the camera? And this is her debut? Even the manga made it look like it was this wild idol dance, fluid motion and all. Then there's the whole shoehorned in "comedy" bits where the girl just shrill screams out of nowhere, the music doesn't fit the vibe at all, etc... it's just so bad. Not to mention my previous posts of frustration because the story keeps bomb shelling itself with every potential plot point and character (None. All gone.) to the point the main characters are wandering aimlessly now. To kill humans I guess. Hate to drop it after getting so far in, but there are so many other better shows to be watched over this. |

| What an odd coronation ceremony coming in as an idol concert. Yet then again it isnt out of line with how bizarre politics can get The comedy bits with Doroka feel forced. It actually would be funnier if it didnt play up on it so much with chibi reactions and over the top screaming. I had a feeling that prisoner had the other person dead and that it was his wife and that the jail cell was not trapping him. Sad to see though. |

| the Tone of this show is all over the place. one minute it's a revenge killing frenzy with a super edgy MC, next it's a goofy slapstick comedy ( or tries to be). I'm still not sure what that opening idol scene was about. At this point the interesting premise is all this show is |
| Another episode of abseloutly nothing. This one had a great start. Much to my suprise! "I hope it won't let me down after getting my hopes up" - Me, after Episode 1. Well, it did. I know these kind of revenge dramas aren't easy to write. Especially if you don't want to go with any characters to root for. But then you need to go all out in the world building and keep the viewer entertained by showing the power struggle of the diffrent strategists and present them moral dilemma to think about. Kind of like this show did for the first 2-3 episodes. What you should avoid is making the main characters incredibly stupid, having the plot slow down to a standstil, trying to put in comedy and shifting the focus to one party only. This show did every single one of these things. It's only been annoying recently and has destroyed it's entire potential. So I won't sit through the last 4 episodes - I doubt I'll miss anything here. 3/10. |
| I think I will delete this anime from my list. |
 |
| I generally have no problem with a more light hearted tone but it's confusing how it's suddenly going that way after 6 episodes of pitch dark edginess |
| An idol queen...many nonsense comedies...and all these |
