First Impression: The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent anime Eps 1-3

The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent Eps 1-3

Sei got home late from working and when she steps inside her home, she goes to another world. They welcomed the other girl that was also summoned as saint and then ignored her. With too much time on her hands now, she began taking interest in herbs and potions, but her creations seem to be more potent than usual...

Seriously I don't know how to make the blurb sounds reverse harem-y because so far only one of them has shown interest. Oh coincidentally, she meets a lot of bishonen...lol! The promotion is pushing reverse harem anime vibe but story-wise I just don't see it as of Volume 2 in the light novels. But I'm hoping they are into something here. At most, it can end up as one flower (see Levels of Reverse Harem) if only one is romantically interested in her which is fine. I'll take it as a bonus if two or all of them end up falling in love with her. We need to see more character development from Jude though because if not they might as well add Erhart in the anime visual. I'm just saying. More bishonen, the better.

This is the first time that I am watching an anime adaptation of a light novel material that I've already read. (Read the light novel reviews here) I'm totally enjoying the anime and it's a different experience to watch them. The animation of crucial moments down to mundane things and even establishing shots and transitions looked so fascinating, especially with scoring. In the last review, I Was Reincarnated as the Villainess in an Otome Game but the Boys Love Me Anyway!, I mentioned I'm starting to understand now the dynamics of light novel to manga and/or anime adaptations). The anime compresses the story by highlighting the important parts. But there are some details that are lost like POVs from the protagonist and other characters.

Since I already knew the story I was afraid I wasn't going to enjoy but it's like watching it with fresh eyes and loving every second of it. It evokes new feelings for me like rooting now for Sei and Albert. And the little things that make the characters cute or fun like Albert running away after giving something to Sei. Or Erhart's expression when they all reacted to his smile.

The anime is faithful to the light novel. Just tiny differences that do not affect the story. She's angrier at the start of the novel but she's more levelheaded in the anime. I saw a comment that the pacing of first episode could have been better but it's actually more fastpaced compared to the book. They also made her character more aware of her powers which I approve of. One missing piece that seems important is her magical stats, but it can easily be incorporated later on in the story.

Now I'm curious as to why Kyle chose the other girl as the saint and not her. I'm looking for a believable excuse. The story is hinged on his choice. Had he acknowledged them both as saint, Sei's life would have fared differently.

It looks like the first volume will end on episode 4. The anime may cover up to three volumes within the 12 episodes. And I'm looking forward to it particularly because I want to know what happened past the second volume. Did you enjoy the anime? What are your thoughts about it?

Anime Review: 7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy

7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy anime-12 episodes- based on a light novel Rishe Irmgard Weitzner is now on her 7th life after always being killed in one way or another by Prince Arnold Hein. But on the 7th time loop, her enemy has taken an interest in her. This is a mix of my first impression here on the blog, mini-impressions, and mini-review from Patreon. And with some new insights. 7th Time Loop is entertaining and exciting. It makes you think of the possibilities and the interconnections. Her past six lives were summarized without being long-winded but just enough to pique our curiosity. The critical timing of each action or decision will lead to different outcomes or probable "romance routes". Or so I thought. No reverse harem romance but there's a bishonen for each life. Think Amnesia. And this is by far, the fastest turn of events from a "love at first sight". I've been avoiding saying this is my

Light Novel Review: I Reincarnated as Evil Alice so the Only Thing I'm Courting is Death!

I Reincarnated as Evil Alice so the Only Thing I'm Courting is Death~( Akuyaku Alice ni Tensei Shita node, Koi mo Shigoto mo Houki Shimasu!) Written by Chii Kurusu Art by: Minato Yaguchi Translated by: Emma Schumacker While carrying out her secret executioner duties Alice bumps her head and realized she is reincarnated into her favorite otome game which won the Deadliest Game of the Year award. Together with the bad boy butler, Jack; sinful man, Leeds; the Tweedle twins and walking death flag, Earl Knightley. Disclaimer: A digital review copy of this book was provided by the publisher. She knows the ins and outs of the story but the routes are not moving forward just like it goes in the game. I felt lost at first too with the story and was wandering aimlessly with Alice. And when she decided her purpose, I was not convinced. It is fast-paced it's just that the premise was different in how the story played out. But those who are patient are rewarded. There is a twist whic

Manga Review: I Was Reincarnated as the Villainess in an Otome Game but the Boys Love Me Anyway! Vol. 2

I Was Reincarnated as the Villainess in an Otome Game but the Boys Love Me Anyway! Vol. 2 (Akuyaku Reijou Desu ga, Kouyaku Taishou no Yousu ga Ijou Sugiru) Manga by: Ataka Light novel: by Sou Inaida Art by: Hachipsu Wen All Mystia wants is to avoid death in the otome game she is reincarnated in and to keep her family and servants safe. However, the guys seem to have bugs and are either raising or missing events on their own. Disclaimer A review copy was provided by Netgalley. Check out the first volume review . In the first volume, Mystia meets two of Kyun Kyun Love's suitors, Raid and Eric. In this sequel, we get to see how she meets Jesse, the teacher. For the fourth guy, Robert, it is more of pleasantries. The nicknames in the first volume are still not crystal clear to me. The sparkling prince. The cool tsundere. The gaudy guy. The yakuza teacher. I managed to get the first two mixed up while the other two have yet to unfold their said attributes. The competitiveness between E

Drama Review: I Have Three Boyfriends

I Have Three Boyfriends kdrama- 10 episodes The story starts with Ra Hee going on a date after another with her three boyfriends. She's frantically trying not to get caught. The drama will unravel how she got herself into this dilemma. This is the first reverse harem I've seen about cheating female main character. Certainly, this is bound to happen in reverse harem. BTW, My favorite boyfriend is the domineering director. It was not believable at first but it got me hooked. The story is milking the coincidences to the hilt. The ending is unexpected and here all along I was under the impression that it's going to be open-ended. Sorry, to keep this review short as it's a short drama with 15 minutes runtime per episode. This is the last of my backlog reviews from a couple of years ago. And what are the odds it would fit perfectly in the Stages of Reverse Harem . It is meant to be. Love Reverse Harem Garden?

Anime Review: Kiskis! My Boyfriends are Mint Candies!

Kiskis! My Boyfriend are Mint Candies!- 4 episodes Tang Tang meet guys who each represent a flavor of mint candies. It has a catchy, cute opening. At first there's a different feel on it which I can't pinpoint. And then I realized that they are talking in Chinese! This is my first completed Chinese animation. Well since it was way too easy to finish it. It's 5-minute ONA for 4 episodes. I think this premiered last June 4. But the first Chinese animation I watched is still currently airing (unconfirmed reverse harem), Phantom in the Twilight, which is a collaboration between Japan and China. Oh back to back Chinese reviews after The Flame's Daughter. Is China going to be booming with reverse harem now?

Levels of Reverse Harem

The video above is Levels of Reverse Harem version 2 (also posted here ) Reverse Harem titles were very limited when I first started the blog eleven years ago. I was flexible with many titles where it's only one or two guys interested in the female protagonist and other gray areas. But we are now at a point where I can be strict with labeling reverse harem. Let's start with the classification of reverse harem-ness. This is for my sake too if in case I run off course again. 1. Five Flowers - This is literally reverse harem. The heroine has a harem of her own in her inner chamber. And we only have one example for this, manga and drama, Ooku. UPDATE: Please check STAGES OF REVERSE HAREM for more examples.

Manga Review: Anyway, I'm Falling In Love With You Vol. 1

Anyway, I'm Falling In Love With You Vol. 1 by Haruka Mitsui Mizuho grew up with her friends in Koigama Highland. The springtime of her youth awaits her as she turns seventeen. Disclaimer: A review copy was provided through Netgalley. Her childhood friends are Shuugo, the sharp-tongued bookworm; Shin, her study buddy; Kizuki, the baby of the group from the swimming team and stylish Airu. At first, I thought it was two flowers as I'd breezed through it in one sitting. (Only 1 or two guys after her. See more on Levels of Reverse Harem ) Two of the characters became one character in my head and I missed the hint from the other guy. It was a nice surprise that wow it looks like it will be four flowers after all. (More than 2 guys after her/All the guys after her.) There's a main guy but at one point I find him too pushy so I'm looking forward to the development for the other guys. But don't get me wrong he's sweet all thought-out and especially that last arc m
