[*Rirui's in charge of this whole anime.*](https://i.imgur.com/W0m4Vkh.jpeg)
In the end, Hajime didn’t have to worry about breaking any hearts this week. The goofball just had to say what was on his mind and that was enough to chase all the girls away. But hey, at least he still has Rurui lol.
Not gonna lie kinda hated the ending here ..they were going for a nice emotional tone with her being able to see ..kinda sucks she turned into that over the rejection .could've had a nice talk about having no time to date do to rasing the kid
Poor Sekihime, she's pretty adorable and it's such a shame she had to fall in love with the least romantic possibility on hand. Edit: and she's [being voiced by Hayamin](https://x.com/anime29sai/status/2015696459082199388), so even better.
I THOUGHT so....
It reminds me of the do-over damsel conquers the dragon emperor,where it goes from an enjoyable romance between the 2 protagonists and the ringing of the police sirens in the span of a second
that one was a wild ride
Even the cutesy shows are bangers this season between Kaya-Chan Isn't Scary, this one, and Demon King's Daughter is Too Kind. But then it's competing against Frieran S2, Time for Torture Princess S2, and Sentenced to be a Hero. All of which are top tier.
Interesting to learn more about Ruirui power, i really want to have a look at her past.
Poor Hajime he was just being honest, i hope his pride recover one day and to see more of Sekihime she's very interesting.
Ruirui is hajime jealous daughter lol.
Seriously though, a medusa's power is too OP in this world.
Every bit of criteria is met this show is weird. Go touch grass. This is by no means normal or acceptable behavior.
No he's still commented on touching boobs and butt. On both the CHILDREN. This is not idealized behavior by any means, this is weird Japanese fetish stuff.
The reason "Guardian and ward" relationships are frowned upon isn't because its illegal, its frowned upon, because for the period where the guardian is providing for and taking care of the ward, the ward will inevitably develop positive feelings towards their caretaker.
In a healthy guardian ward relationship, the ward will have a working understanding that the love they feel towards their guardian is not the same kind of love that comes from romantic attraction, the only way such a feeling can progress to full blown romantic attraction is if the guardian does not fulfil their duties as a guardian and teach the ward this.
Case in point, a vast majority of women went through a "Ill marry my dad" phase as children, or vice versa boys with their mothers.
This is usually around the time they are starting to notice the concept of couples in their environment but do not yet understand how it works, so they try to apply that concept to themselves with the only member of the opposite sex that is consistently in their life.
The only cases where this behaviour persisted beyond childhood is when the parents were negligent in their duties or even outright stoked that fire.
That and there's an inherent power imbalance of course, since the ward depends on the guardian.
Tldr: The absolute, most generous reading you can give it is "Gross negligence" the worst case reading you can give it is "Grooming"
One of the responsibilities of a guardian is to recognise an unhealthy relationship with the concept of romance and correct it.
Letting it fester is negligence.
Thats why i said "The absolute, most generous reading you can give it is "Gross negligence" the worst case reading you can give it is "Grooming""
Im probably not going to drop this show, but I defo wont be reading the manga, for the same reason i didnt read usagi drop after i finished watching it.
If you even watched the episode, then you would have seen that Hajime side stepped the question in a totally normal, adult way without crushing the poor girl's feeling. you can't blame a kid for their infatuation, that shits normal as fuck. the adults around here are acting responsibly too (well, as much as you can expect in a fantasy setting).
Look away.
And wow Hajime really is clueless with love. I mean one of the perks of a girlfriend is that she may let you touch her butt. But that’s not something you lead on with lol.
Veronica pretty unhinged too. Lmao “can’t fall in love before I reject you first”
I’m more of a fan of a father-daughter approach but it seems this show might be pushing for Rirui to have feelings for Hajime. I’m hoping I’m completely off and she is just very possessive of him
I also agree the show is a lot of fun. The cast is quirky in a good way. Granted, Hajime's social skills are so bad, lol.
Though this was probably the best episode, since it more so shows that it will dive into multiple ancient species. First a succubus and now Medusa. The moment in the dream where Sekihime could finally see it really presented how a blind person would feel being able to see. Of course she was overjoyed.
The more of her falling in love with Hajime then freaking out and leading to her being disgusted, was funny. I think we all know that their relationship wasn't going to happen and were curious how the rejection will happen. Though I do hope we see her again.
Also to note, Veronica's also his childhood friend. Explains a lot that she's probably the only other kid to make it out of the slums with him.
There's definitely certain elements I appreciate in this setting, from the more whimsical dungeon layouts to everyone's special skills being displayed on their bodies. Which Ruirui gets now that she's level 2! Finally a reason for her being an ancient succubus beyond transforming into an older body at night. She really made Sekihime's dream come true even if for a moment. But if that's how powerful a Medusa is, I wonder if Ruirui will really unlock a chunni skill like that.
It is a fun watch every week.
But why not let him raise two girls alone, right?
Oddly enough, since we know that, like Rirui he was on his own growing. It does make his social skills just suck. Not to mention having his childhood friend as Veronica actually makes sense. I can imagine the way he talked had her laughing behind his back.
Also hajime being a complete dolt, he mentions prostitutes, has a childhood friend, but is completely oblivious to women? Garbage trope strikes again lol
Show has funny moments and is laid back so I'll probably give it another episode or two here, but this one really set it back for me
The Medusa-lady is one thing, but ...
What kind of question is that towards two pre-teens?
Sad, as I like most of the rest quite a lot.
But then he turned down Yor Forger (for not any great reason) - on top of everything else that's a step too far.
there's something wholesome in the rascals making silly noises.
I kinda understand though that for 1-off or flashback scene they often didn't put any effort to the voice.
I honestly didn't expect much from this show, but this is a pleasant surprise.
Edit: Would have preferred the episode not end with him making a dumbass comment after Medusa not taking a rejection well.
Both dumb tropes for both characters. They made Medusa overly dramatic over a simple rejection, and Hajima make a totally inappropriate comment. I didn't know it was possible to be sexist to males and females at the same time.
>Why is that dungeon being demolished? Seems like a perfect beginner dungeon that is also just beautiful to look at.
Because there are no more treasures there, so no reason to explore it
I also thought it was interesting how conflicted Hajime was. He had a good chance of sleeping with an attractive woman but she might turn more than one part of him into stone if she's angry or maybe just by accident. I don't think he turned her down because of Rirui but just thought about being afraid of being turned to stone. It was hilarious though how his own stupidity saved the day though and he completely alienated her by acting too pervy 🤣
introducing her as a succubus almost made me drop, thank god they dealed with it in that way instead of sexualizing her like a succubus
now theyre making her be jealous of him, please dont make this a romance anime i dont wanna see him romance his "daughter" please
Hajime did the right thing at the end breaking up with her normally was going to cause the whole town to get stoned and not in the fun way, so he had to resort to the ultimate tactic creep her out enough that she leaves.
Comments on week-old or more episodes of basically every show are deleted. Or at least showing as deleted.
What's going on? Is it something on my end?
I checked a few random show threads. Some work fine, others just say deleted.
Very weird.
What was this author smoking when they made this?
And then you have the biggest fumble. The Medusa character having a beautiful moment where can she look at things without destroying them. And then you have the episode end with our main character being a creep instead of telling her he needs to focus on being a parent.
Does it get any better?
Oh now we're at the sea she saw in her magic trial thing. Definitely a dream she created.
I've never heard of 'concubus' before, huh. Apparently it's just a gender neutral term to refer to both incubus and succubus? So it really doesn't seem to make sense for them to sub it into the line here since it doesn't have any relation to the concept of dreams like the Japanese name does.
...What.
Chat I think we should kill this guy with hammers
