Noah's reputation certainly is growing, not just within the Ararat royal household, but with the Emperor as well, to give him more jobs on hand, and an even ambitious event: the knight selection exam.

That's even more so for choosing his partners going forward, and continuing the work to quench the rebels, such as with the rebels in Almeria that he can at least control to subdue on his turf.

Justice certainly is on Noah's side...the question is, how many detractors are out there?

After watching 3 episodes, I'm certain about this, the anime deletes all scene of Noah taking a bath (which has a lot in manga). I disagree with this decision.

At least there are still a lot of hot guys. The proclaimed "strongest swordman in the kingdom", for example, is also hot despite being beaten easily by Noah.

that was a pretty good idea, removing the horse-feed from the regional supply chain that could end up in his rebellion's supplies. but i would have gone a several steps further and inquired into: horse-medicines as well as horse doctors/trainers/suppliers/breeders/wholesalers/smiths-farriers/leatherworkers and creators of saddles tack etc. if you can secure the feed AS WELL AS the medicines to treat horse diseases and wounds WITHOUT interfering with the human and other domestic animal medical supplies... THAT would be another way to weaken his rebellion's cavalry.

then he could also look into who is selling great numbers of horses through various middle-men/wholesalers as well as buying up the trainers/tenders/farriers who will keep the horses, train them, shoe them, as well as breeding horses. even though it takes many years for a horse to grow up enough to be useful... those breeders could be a source of cavalry steeds beyond the standard horsetraders/middle-men. in other words? get your apples from the growers instead of buying from the people who buy the apples from the orchards.

this rebellion's cavalry will also need saddles, bridles, and so forth. so looking into who is buying large supplies of raw leather and employing as many leatherworkers and suchforth who specialize in making or are familiar with horse equipment... could be a secondary or tertiary curiosity for the prince.

It's not as bad as I thought it would be tbh.Like I thought it would get boring or the normal tropes will follow but for now the main guy is decently interesting

Interesting episode plot-wise! and I like the implication of Noah detecting lost forces from changes in his rank, and I like that he seems pretty level-headed and clear of mind in his decisions so far.

I kind of have no idea what's changed when it gives a simple "My stats have improved" followed by a screen where everything but water magic is "F+F" though.

I also kind of wonder, if this is more of a "serious" show, whether one of the other Princes will murder their father the King, and then Noah will have to stand against them. It's maybe a bit Game Of Thones / House of Dragon coded, but could imagine that this incredibly benevolent King who has been guiding towards Noah may be set up to be taken out in the future.
That's a random wondering / guess though.

This is actually shaping up to be much more interesting than i thought it would be. For me it's refreshing because, in most trash isekai trope the MC is always "belittled", the MC is always acting dumb or like a clown. Here, mc doesn't act his age cuz he's reincarnated and also uses his Noble's Authorities or Authorities of a prince.
Seasoned well enough to keep going and watching it till the end.

I know a lot of people are probably critical of this due to how young he is, but remember he is an isekai, and he's being given authority directly due to the fact that he is showing competence. I am finding this to be one of the most entertaining shows of the season so far.

I am loving the fact that there is a bunch of politics in this anime. However, it feels rushed and like nothing is getting fleshed out so it ends up feeling like i just wasted my time by the end of this episode.

ngl, I enjoy the politics since it's always intriguing in isekai (as long as it's well done and not mid or asspulls upon asspulls). with that said, the story is still bad and the MC has things come to him with mostly ease. empire's strongest swordsman? lol. oh well, it's a fun watch even though it's slop af. I'll keep up with it.

I liked the manga, and this episode was very good even though it was mostly politics and business-oriented.

But I do wonder about that tournament... if the local village used to pull together the funds to only send one person, what do they do with unlimited money from the crown?

If there are no regional tournaments anymore, doesn't that mean that entire villages could be coming for a capitol tourist visit with free room and board?

Decent episode. First, I’m glad Noah reminded Maverick of his place and had him incarcerated. It was well deserved, serves him right. Second, I have a question, why would a rebellion occur in a land owned and managed by Noah? I’d appreciate an explanation, cuz I didn’t rly wrap my head around it.

Episode was better than the last one. 3 magic items in 2 episodes was getting out of control

But I don't really like how he's an invincible swordsman now. That's just lame. He's a 6 year old

I also understand buying the horse feed to combat a rebellion that's reportedly using cavalry. But I didn't understand the rations part of that plan at all

A six year old kid defeating the best swordsman in the kingdom. Come on, at least give him a bit of room to improve or do a time skip.

Supply lines are critical in armed conflicts, so cutting the availability of horse feeding for the outsourced cavalry is indeed a genius move.

Using MCs words his conversation with prime minister was belittling intelligence of viewers.
MC seems to be solving most of the issues by buying things up while not having enough money at the beginning.
Also defeating the best swordsman and assassins singlehandedly is just ridiculous and leaves very little room for progression.
Dropping it.

This anime is a new low for isekai. Isekai always had bad MCs but this one in particular has a personality of expired milk. There were some people in ep 1 who said the source is really good and this anime is just setting up the background. I wholeheartedly believe them but at least the MC could be slightly interesting. Mind you, I am not saying that the MC getting everything in seconds is the problem here; plenty of other isekai share the same situation. My problem is the dialogue; they literally have no thought put into it. At this point, I don't care what he says, it will be something like "Humu... Omoshiroi ne... Mind explaining what is interesting in this case? This anime just delivers exaggerated reactions to whatever the MC says, even if it makes sense of not. Again, personality like spoiled milk. Comparing to other trash animes, at least they have some ups and downs in the dialogue, delivery feels better than this.

This review is not to offend others who like the anime. This is for people who are reading my comment without watching the anime to see what the anime is about.

tldr, dialogue is completely and utterly flat, with sleep inducing delivery having no thought put into it whatsoever. Only thing you need to remember from this anime is "Humu...", nothing else. 0.2 "Humu..."s out of 10 Cid Kagenos.

In episode 3, Noah dared to trap a corrupt finance minister who had been in office for years and changed the rules of the knight selection process so that everyone could participate, anticipating rebellion and protecting his citizens, unlike Konoha (Ind), which changed the rules but still harmed the people, and government representatives did not want to be criticized.

The story is quite interesting, and I can't wait for the next episode.

something feels off with this show. the characters don’t have enough time to cook, it’s just “here’s some money now go away”, no time to delve into the whys or motives. I can’t seem to care enough which domain the maid and butler came from when I know very little about their domain. Also, that’s the first time i’ve seen a subordinate walk outside the carriage in the rain while the main character is in the carriage that’s a little messed up. Now I could look at it from the perspective of maybe the MC just has a job to do and he’s one track minded but why does he want to get stronger? Was there an immediate threat that made him want to rank his status level up? If there is, that should be something the story should constantly remind the viewer. Otherwise where is this going?

i’ll keep watching only because Im an idiot for maids being surrounded by a shota.

Just buy all the vacant houses in the capital right? It’s not like people want to buy a house.
