Around 40 Otoko no Isekai Tsuuhan Episode 11 Discussion

kinda makes you wonder why the whole sequence of her getting a period for the first time was added. it legit added nothing to the plot, the story, just something to guarantee anemones place in the harem

They may not have a commonly used word for the color blue. In our world, most ancient and many medieval civilizations did not have a specific word for blue. It would be called black, gray, or dark green, or wine-dark*, etc. The earliest written record clear use of a word like blue for the color was in is the 1200s, and spread through Germany and France to the modern

* "wine-dark sea" (oînops póntos) from the Iliad.

His adopted daughter wants to have his baby, she is only 10. He rejects the idea but tells her to wait 5 years. Also, he has never rejected the advances from any of the girls in his harem. His protestations are nothing but a front. "Oh, no! I told my underage daughter no but but she wouldn't take no for an answer. What was I supposed to do?" -Kenichi in 5 years (possibly much sooner). Even a blind man could see where this is going.

@OldManOtaku Only 10? She is 12. OK, still way too young. Don't worry, no way Primula is going to let that happen anyway. And I'm pretty sure he still sees her as an adopted daughter, not a love interest.

If you paid attention to what he said entirely, you'd realize he was just humoring Anemone, and because (7:15) he added it's just something some little girls say until they grow old enough to bring some "random" guy and decide to marry him.

Very good episode.

In the Middle Ages, societies used to deem a girl who had her menarche to become herself a woman fit for marriage and mothership. History states based on plenty of evidence girls after their menarche used to become married women and mothers-to-be; chances are such women of faith would survive the pregnancy and bearing their children to raise their offspring. Kenichi was transported to a world in its Middle Ages; therefore, the whole thing about Anemone is expected, natural and understandable for everyone there except for Kenichi. Fact is, Kenichi clearly spoke Primula is his wife and Anemone, his adopted daughter, as any Contemporary Age man would talk.

@leonardobarba There would be a grain of truth to it, if the show didn't specifically portray modern characters in an isekai with some low-tech monarchy trappings.
Medieval characters expressing ideas in the vein of "whichever shape love takes it's amazing"? Medieval characters without severe prejudice against outsiders? Please.
No, the author is not a historian, it's your basic Narou power harem wish fulfillment web novel.

And you are mistaking nobles' political marriages / desperate need for heir with normal people. Pregnancy is a massive investment and lost opportunity, and a big risk to life. It would make way more sense to have a 12yo work and provide for the family (her own or husband's) until a biologically safer age.

Which is exactly what surrounding people would tell Anemone, normally: don't even think about it, you are already in a stable family (as an adopted child), there's no rush to try to marry or whatever.

@Janethan23 Every time I see some obnoxious af font, bio says female... just saying.

Maybe more public works? The ED has a scene with him picnicing with everyone including the princess by a river crossing with a ruined bridge.

@valkyrineX20 Here, we can probably agree that for the story it was not very important, although it may have been so in the original, although I was more surprised that Anemone is already 12 years old, that she will be in the harem is not very believable, for there was not even a hint of it.
