That aside, between the poor moe of the young protag and how he gets worked to the bone when old, I can dig the premise. We haven't seen much more, and certainly the writing is not top notch, but it seems worth my time for now. And, what's more, the opening is fucking great:

Anyway, Bakarina is Bakarina is The Best, as expected. I'm not sure what more to say. I hope they keep this level of engagement and budget for the rest of the series too. Angela and Uchida Maaya seem to have had enormous amounts of fun while working on this anime. Pacing was fast, but certainly not too fast. This will be a fucking great season.
>>29607>The girl and music are enough, right?Not sure, considering besides everything else the fact that I don't like the mecha designs at all. I'll leave it for now and start it again if there are more positive opinions. I do kinda want to see Nana and Kouichi and FukuJun and etc.

This is interesting. Best Girl is obviously Best Girl. And just by existing in the same place as HanaKana, she truly highlights all of the problems with HanaKana and why she's worst girl. In just two episodes this compare and contrast was quite enough to give us a nice understanding of HanaKana - and of Best Girl. But, also, the MC is pretty well-adjusted too, isn't he? He obviously stalled on hitting on HanaKana cause he knew there's something wrong. He can (more or less) do what he wants to do. He is more passive in nature, but he knows and accounts for that? He knows he'll be slow to change either way.
What I am saying… isn't pairing him up with Best Girl a waste? Wouldn't it be much more interesting to pair them with the two other characters instead?
See, Best Girl and MC are both… more passive with their own lives. They lack a solid base in terms of what they want to earn money with. They know their inner worlds but are more passive with dealing with the outer world. The other two in comparison are more solid in dealing with the outer world, while a mess with their own feelings - obsessing and avoiding in a manner that reminds me of Nadeko. Doesn't this make them pairing up like that a more boring outcome that will not allow them to learn and to compensate for each other's shortcomings? Going for what is there in the start… no, way before the start, even… instead of a braver grownup x grownup and teen x teen end, or a homo and homo end.
And, most importantly, why am I writing paragraphs of consideration how should a manga end when it has already ended years ago and I can just read it? How did this adaptation even happen if the original run was from 1997 to 2015?
P.S. Jashinchan is great. By the way, Jashinchan is the canon spelling. You don't say Jashin-san, you say Jashinchan-san.
P.P.S. Best Girl is a miracle of the universe.

This episode demonstrates how you don't really need a budget, or drugs for creative cost-cutting techniques, or whatever in order to make a good anime and a good adaptation. You just need to truly understand the source material. Half of the episode was basically just Elise sighing, on something that was more akin to a .ppt than to an animation. And yet it was 10/10.

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.

No.30000
>>29997I 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".
