Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii (The World is Still Beautiful) (manga and anime)

"Those 3 men are legendary scholars and the kingdom must obey their decisions for all time!"

"How big should her BOOBS be!?"

Me:

Nah, I wouldn't call them the three scholars (since one's a tactician, one's a gunpowder mixer, and one's a mafia head). At best, I'd call them the Three Outstanders. Together with a Smart-Ass, they are, the "Word of God"!!

Meanwhile...."She's gotta have tits!"

Well, I'm quite sure that many people found Luna annoying this episode. ^^;

So rather than skipping out on those arcs I mentioned earlier, it seems that they're just rearranging them. Luna's chapter in the manga came before Ring of Tales, ditto for Duke Bardouin's arc, which seems to be up for next week.

Episode 6. In which there's dancing. But not in the rain.

They must have the most accurate weather forecast possible. "I saw the princess. Rain will come."

Well, at least there's someone who can chew her out properly.

Why does she still have problems calling him by name?

He's pretty clear it was one-sided from the start. And not approved by the parents.

She's not that busty. Just more appropriately so than what you see in shonen.

All those things. Why not bring up singing?

Chicken race. With horses. Not fair to the horses, methinks.

A small difference in her outfit. But practical.

This time someone came for him. Next time someone comes for her.

Honestly, it makes sense for these people to show up after they announce the marriage, so the rearrangement makes sense I think.

I found it funny how people found Luna awful, as she ticks off a whole lot of entries on the "moe archetypes" checklist... Which is funny, given how the Soreseka manga started in 2011, a VERY long time after all these archetypes became set in stone, so to speak.

Also LOL that Nico Nico video response. Really the whole scene in the bedroom was another 4th-wall breaking sequence, like Livi's crack about it being time for service. Also, lots of "not what it sounds like!" stuff too. "It's been a while since we did this..." Just as he's undressing. Heh.

I will shamefully admit to letting out a "KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" when Livi tricked Nike into a kiss at the end. The kid is smooth.

At 11-14, Livi has gotten more action than a ton of older, adult men!

They just hate Luna bc she isn't a Tsundere. They felt tricked.

Someone who declares herself to be engaged like that is very rarely an actual tsundere.

No episode this week?

.............. holy crap I can't find Episode 7! And it's already Monday.

I'm afraid you have to wait for another week for episode 7.

....... why?

This is the best answer I could find.

"S*** happens."

As far as I recall, it was the same case for Mushishi that week, where football pre-empted the airing of the episode. Not really a cause for alarm, unlike what happened back when Girls und Panzer was airing for example.

New episode is out! It seems like this episode is going to be.... quite a Mood Whiplash

.... so lemme get this straight.

.... they delay last week's episode, yet finally post it EARLY?!?!?

Episode 7. In which there's accuracy.

For some reasons, all those lessons seem somewhat interchangable. Can't really figure out why...

"Let's ditch." Best thing he's said in quite a while. Granted, it's been two weeks since he's said anything at all.

Black-haired black umbrella girl looks suspicious.

...

...

Oh.

She's having way too much fun with that.

The two classy thieves are back.

Do we really need the flashback?

Yeah, both of them are deathly afraid of someone. Which is also about the only thing both of them are afraid of. Which also makes it funny considering who gets afraid of Livi later on...

Blushing? I thought the blood went away from her face...

I don't think I've seen a Sneeze Cut without an actual cut before.

I think Nike would be better with a bow. Or just throwing knives.

Bard sure found a nice, big red button to push. Figuratively speaking, naturally.

Nike seems happy eating.

"Despite appearances," his ass. Count on Nike to bite through his appearance anyway.

That's not a regular jealousy. And he began the episode so well...

So, Livi's personality is.....whatever it needs to be to make the plot work.

He decides to lighten up....and she punishes him for it. Bet he won't make that mistake again.

Rest was kinda predictable.

Nike takes the whole almost sexually assaulted thing a bit too well. Course, Livi has to be a right asshole about it in his own way.

Episode 7

The humor in this show just works for me. Just the fact that Nike is more a daring go-getter than any female protagonist I seen in an anime for a long time pleases me. Now if only the Narrator didn't sound like a cartoon rodent.

"Stop looking like you're drawn on paper!" …… no comment.

…PFFFAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHA!!!!! HE— HE LOOKS LIKE CIEL'S NIECE!!!''

Who's this dipsh**? So last time, Livi got an old flame returning, and now NIKE does??

Sweet CGI camera pan! But is it a bit excessive to threaten imprisonment?

……

……………….

………………………………………

That's not her old flame at all. Because she never even had one to begin with.

Graned, he wasn't properly introduced until the middle of the episode. We may have just made assumptions.

Way to go off the deep end there Livi, my god.
