>The lack of animation helps with the repetition of the video.
I think only Ahiru no Sora has more stills. And thanks for the webm, I meant to do that scene too but forgot. Regardless, now that best girl kissed our baron, it'll be interesting to see how his other two wives will respond.

>>29891
Another thing I probably liked more than it deserves is pic related. Just how he was holding her and everything.

Alan seems to be the purest.

I still kinda expect that Kurt will be reasonable about this.

When the fuck did 3 years pass? But good for spear bro. He immediately proved himself to be more useful than his whole crew.

>>29912
From what I have heard, this is going to end in a spicy manner.

I would like to take this moment to say that Elize is not only the cutest but has the strongest maternal instincts.
The panty-scene was some delicious stuff.

He's the best. Just the best.

The crow sleeps outside?

I… think the beginning of the anime was Wel clearing out the Enchanted Forest for the sake of w/e. So I guess we know how this ends.

But I hope they don't oversimplify the transition of power. I do get the opposite side of the coin, after all. Wel is quite the easy to use figure. It's not that the brother is despotic - the lack of resources is just reality in that domain. It's that the villager chief wants to use Wel - and Wel's wealth that Wel demonstrated. This is not a sustainable model. And on the other side of the chain, the king prefers to have the easy to use Wel there, where he is dependent on taking jobs from the king in order to finance his poor otherwise domain. This way he's at the same time establishing somebody who will not conspire against him, and limiting the connections Wel has to others, so that these others can't use Wel, AND ensuring Wel has to come back to the king for jobs instead of running away somewhere to adventure freely. In fact, Kurt is probably the only one in the family who truly knows this part of Wel's nature, as he was the only one who noticed that Wel hided his magic in the past. So of course he'd be the one worried and would try to use Wel to ensure as much independence from the Crown as possible - like the demand for a 50% cut. To begin with, the domain is poor because of geography, not because of mismanagement: it's too far from the trade routes and the danger of the Enchanted Forest makes it really hard to expand or to do any serious new business. It's basically not much more than an outpost. And they lost a lot of men in that expedition in the past which made everything even worse.

Of course, that same beginning of the anime shows what Kurt definitely is not realizing: that Wel is so overpowered that he can actually turn the domain into a profitable one, independent of Wel's adventuring profits. With such powers the domain can actually get much larger, as it's basically a frontier domain. This means that Kurt could probably get part of the newly expanded domain if he plays his cards right.

Anyway, I really liked Kurt's wife.

P.S. Best Girl, as usual.

>Wel is so overpowered that he can actually turn the domain into a profitable one
Specifically, Wel has the strength to exploit the Enchanted Forest: convert it from a liability to an asset. Anyway, really enjoyed your post. The story will probably disappoint me now.

>>29948
But that's not Elise.

LA is a shithole.

>>29957
Sweet fucking jesus

I am become Shinako, the destroyer of Worlds.
We also got the definitive edition ED.

I think half of my enjoyment of Nami yo is the stuff they namedrop.

>>29957
Whoa. Did this just start airing? I've missed it.

This was one lewd episode. I liked it. Not sure if it's progressing towards a love relationship but it was nice.

Here, have a Best Girl.

I mean, here, have a Best Girl.
I got distracted by Best Girl and posted the wrong image of Best Girl. But it's fine. More Best Girl is always good.

>>29959
The newest ED is nice, but I really enjoyed the previous one–despite the sadness it inflicts.

Can't wait to enjoy Kurt's salty tears.

>>29993
You have no idea.

>This must be a comedy? It is supposed to be a comedy, right? It can't seriously be trying to be an edgy power fantasy for tortured furries, right? Because the whole episode was fucking hilarious.
I have no idea. I don't think it is possible to create something this hilariously bad without actively trying. The fanservice is super classy too. Easily the best comedy this season, though I'm expecting it will stop being funny after the novelty wears off.

I don't quite buy the explanation from the beginning of the episode. If the Crown wanted, they could easily enforce the solution that Wel proposed to Kurt. "The land is undeveloped so you have no claim to it" and so. No, more than that the true explanation is pic related.
That being said, it's really nice that everybody was thinking about developing the land. And kinda sad that Kurt isn't on board with it. Either way, Kurt's wife is best character.

>>29997
Actually, for a second there I thought this is going towards Kurt getting NTR'd by Wel: Kurt getting disappeared and Wel remarrying the widow for the sake of preserving her and her sons' status.

>>29997
I think it is accepted in the story that the undeveloped land is considered part of Well's family land for some reason. Maybe just some ancient "It is shit, so who cares, you can have it". So from that view point it would be a huge pride hit to just give him all that space, but even if it is not really considered their family's land. Technically his brother still doesn't seem to be the de factor lord, which is weirder. The father is alive, but has done nothing? Considering the whole concept of 8th son getting nothing, nor the second or any other really, it won't be acceptable for the father to divide his land between his sons. That's why only the firstborn inherits it to begin with, so it is not divided.
Though honestly the whole idea if it belongs to his family or not seems a bit ambiguous in the anime. It is more likely that it doesn't, but they talk as if it is. Just because it is neighboring his territory and he will be the one to expand into it, doesn't mean he will necessarily get to keep all of it for himself. At some point too much is too much.
The crown also just giving him all that land that belongs to somebody else would of course make the other lords unhappy. He has enough of a claim on the land. Having him get it through his claim and presenting merits to go with it is better for everyone to be happy than just "here you go, 'cause we like you". Even if Well got only the undeveloped land, considering his familial ties (aka claim) the better he makes the new region, the more people from his home region will be unhappy with his brother and will want Well to just add them to his new glorious empire.
With the last two words being a joke, but there is also the fact of how much land are they really going to give to Well? It is a lot. It seems huge. And maybe at first it doesn't matter, because it is shit, but they want to give it to him so he can develop it. It is probably a matter of time before it becomes the most prosperous region in the country and possible the biggest or maybe at least close second. When is he going to be considered not only something to be jealous of by other lords, but also too much of a rival to the crown itself?
This might end up being a story where the MC doesn't want to be king, but because everything he touches turns into gold, eventually people will crown him as one anyway. At least it will take years for that to happen.
Of course we are looking at this as readers. The people inside the story are not as assured as us that the development of the land will be super successful and that the land will bear great riches. Though I would guess they think it will be true at least to some extend, which makes many things questionable. But maybe later in the story the crown and other lords will take more active presence in the region with the excuse of helping to conquer and develop the area together for the kingdom, assuming that Well will not press his claims on the land too strongly (assuming it is new and not already considered part of his family's domain, with the former being more likely), because he is Well. But then Spearbro Jew will probably do it for him and Well be all like "I didn't ask for this".
>>29998
You are not too far from the truth.

How can one man be this petty and stupid?

>>30000
Your paragraphs make me lust for a kingdom management game where you play as Well trying to build up his fiefdom.

So there are pretty much two options left:
a) MC and Shinako's relation will just continue developing until they get married or something. Bittersweet for Haru and who really cares about that other cunt.
b) Their relationship will remain equally dysfunctional or worse and eventually will break it up. The lesson will be, don't get so hanged up on the past that you miss the present? Possible with Haru actually ending up with the other photo guy and MC remaining alone.
But things between MC and Shinako seem to be going increasingly good.
There is barely any space for Haru left to be a character at this point. But maybe Mr. Teen Angst will somehow fuck stuff up next episode, but only because Shinako will let him.

>>30024
>Well does marry his wife and has a child with her.
He can't be stopped!

>>30025
The thing is his harem seems to be ridiculously big. The dude is certainly starting a huge dynasty by himself. Allegedly even in the newest volumes he gets new girls. There are girls not included in this pic. I guess, though, some are more important than others.

>>30026
"The time flies, as they are relaxing together. Surely, this is what they call happiness."

I had to finish Nami yo first. Honestly, I can find literally nothing to fault this series about. I want more. How come there isn't more shit like this? In anime, sure, the target audience is a little too old, I guess. But I can't remember something like that in live action either.

no

>>30036
I'm not entirely sure what happened, but I'm glad Haru won.

I think my greatest problem with Yesterday is that Shinako has nothing going for her. Both of the male characters like her because it is established in their backstories that they like her. While clearly the author shoves Haru on your face and tries to make her likable from the start.

>>30043
On the other hand, there was more time devoted to Shinako than Haru.

>>30046
Which is borderline criminal.

I feel bad for Kurt. The degree of his effrontery, pettiness, and jealously/envy is such that I feel like there was a divine being that intentionally made him like this from birth.
Good show, though. I would kill for another season.

I need another season, preferably with a lot more ガイドさん and Valmi. Please.
