It was an OK episode, I guess. A bit unfulfilling as a season ending episode, but I'm glad to see Mireille joining the ranks after showing her value, without lowering the value of the other vassals.
The whole thing feels so awkward, but I'm glad that it does. It would feel really off if either knew exactly what to say, and how to say it.
This has been a long year. And I'm glad to be here.
Good girl gone ~~bad~~ bird!
Keep in mind that the series are only similar when it comes to the protag hating the goddess, but past that they're really different. Like, Makoto is by no means as sly and deceitful as Touka, while Seras (the deuteragonist elf in the PV) is there for the drama (unlike Tomoe and Mio).
Still, I think that it's worth checking out.
It was overall a good episode. A nice mix of action, romance, and the marriage to kick in. I guess that the next episode will be their early life as a married couple?
I wasn't expecting Lavinia to show up though. My sides went into orbit!
spoilers from the wiki, based on the LN
She's half-lying when she says that she's just there to "take a look at his eccentric bride"; she's Oscar's maternal grandmother, it's literally her grandson's marriage. I don't think that Tinasha knows this because of her wondering about "if witches didn't intervene", well, then your hubby wouldn't be born you baka.
This is likely related to why Lavinia cursed the Farsas' royal family. Her daughter Rosalia (Oscar's mother) is dead as the series start; she probably cursed her son-in-law Kevin (Oscar's father, former king) out of sorrow, or Kevin did some major fuckup when treating his wife. Aah, I really need to read this LN...
Exactly my thought!
It was a decent ride, I guess. Not overly exciting; but I like how ending the season with Gobjii's death gives it a "book endings" feel, at the start we see a bunch of goblins being born and then one dying, while the others move on with their lives.
And goddammit Aporou, let a dying person talk.
Depending on how they do it, the animation might be really fun. The story has the same "driving force" as Tsukimichi, of a character wanting revenge on the goddess that dumped him in a world; but it's far more serious, the overpowered skills aren't as flashy, there's no "city building" aspect but a lot of "my strategy beats yours".
And it's overall a good method. Language learning combos really well with fiction media, there's lots of room to create simple sentences that still make sense within that work (like they're doing with the "recipes"), and the series is popular so it's overall more enjoyable. (A good chunk of language learning is to keep yourself motivated.)
For reference: I've learned the basics of Latin through a similar method, but instead of Dungeon Meshi it was Aulularia (a Roman slapstick comedy). More than a decade later and I still have simple sentences from the method stuck in my head.
Pfffffft. Furio and Lys can't get some privacy, can they? GODDAMMIT AND OF COURSE THE MAOU WOULD FUCK THINGS UP.
(I really liked this episode.)
Urrrrgh, the urge to talk about it! I can't though - as I'm re-reading the LN right now. At least, until the next episode.
