I just don't think atp the anime deserves to be below a 7 to put this in the same tier as trash isekai or rental girlfriend would be crazy.

The thing with trash isekais is that they are very focused, you know what to expect and easy to follow. With this anime most complains above are about direction. It introduces many different concepts and genres and haven't mastered any of them. IMHO simple thing done well is better than complex thing done poorly.

That's anime in a nutshell. Given how popular some titles are, audience love it. But I agree with you.

The harem in this one is absolutely insane — he’s got an android, a kind of Newtype-style girl, and yet he turns both down because he’s still in love with his presumably dead stepsister.
@Kenchiin
Maybe it's because he wants to figure out if the love of his life still alive, dead, in suspended animation or whatever before moving on with his romantic life in the new world?

🙄great this just became a harem anime. And how old is Amoru? She looks under age! If she is I’m dropping, I don’t deal with Loli 💩 Yeah re watched the previous episode and Akira clearly asked Amoru if she wanted to be an 👩‍🎨 when she grows up and based on viewing the op and ed she’s under age so dropping.

@Avvenirista I am not against it, I just can't stop imaginging the writer in a room explaning the plot like: BUT WAIT, HERE'S MORE, HE WILL SAY NO TO ALL THE GIRLS, BECAUSE HE'S HANGING ON HER DEAD SISTER lmao

Truly the 25th annivesary project we deserved from PA Works.

It's a good episode. All the female characters are cute. I wouldn't call it a harem yet, but I'm more curious about why the hell Yuugure suddenly started kicking instead of killing. Or maybe since he didn't marry her, so she's giving him a headache in the future, in the form of stupid but living enemies.

What does "ehlsea" actually mean, or is it just a weird word for marriage? I know it has some similarity, as the two mafia types have to find one and produce an heir.

"Ehlsea" somehow ties in to Towasa's "LC Project" as far as I can tell, which has something to do with android/human relationship development. What that means exactly and what it looks like, I suppose we'll eventually find out, if we can get past the stupid OWEL anti-knowledge crap, the clownish villains, the "rich people gotta find successors in order to stay rich and powerful" trope, and the harem.

so is this show actually a goofy lighthearted harem tabi or what, is it gonna switch to the gore feast it was randomly at a moments notice or was that simply a bait / just showcasing the darker undertones like slaves

i mean this is what i though the show would be after seeing the OP and visuals but im not sure still on what it actually wants to be.

What is this? With all the weird marriage "LC"ing crap? Is there a point? Or another anime way of him having a harem? And yeah her walking around in underwear would make sense if anyone else in the world dressed like that but apparently she is the only one 9_9 (even the ED flashback has her and her family dressing normal)

Also yeah tired of Ms. Android not slicing these thugs in half. They are trying to kill you and your friends and will try again if left alive.

"How the hell did we end up here?!" -Akira
Exactly, wtf happened here man, the direction of this episode is just so weird. First of all how tf did Akira infiltrate that massive heavily-guarded prison in the first place? How did he even know where she's taken to? What even in his plan? They skipped all those important steps and it's just so stupid...
Then suddenly we arrived at yet another new town and now both girls want to marry him and they go to a matchmaking party to prove their love for some reason? And there's yet another subplot about a mafia with 2 heirs competing and the sister actually wants to get incestuous with the brother but can't so she'll marry Akira instead? Where is this going bruh 😅

After eps 0-1 I expected this show to have a very serious tone with tight plot, so this episode just felt REALLY out of place. It's still a good looking show and somewhat fun to watch, but now I need to recalibrate my expectation going forward. I'm just waiting for the big reveal / twist to happen regarding the main plot.

I was waiting to comment until episode 3, but it looks like each episode has a different outro. That’s pretty neat, since it seems the outro changes based on the character focus of the episode, so maybe episode 4’s outro will be different too.

I do feel like this anime needs a bit more time to cook, but the direction this anime is going is making me worry...

The whole drama from last episode was resolved rather quickly, and now Amoru loves Akira. In reality, it just seems like she sees Yugure and Akira as a family. In fact, I feel like this "ehlsea" thing really is just about people starting a family, more than the romantic marrying.
This is unusual for P.A. Works, considering they do an incredible job at exploring the characters' feelings and motives, and normally the problem with their anime is going way too slow (which for me was never a problem). This time around I feel like they are going a bit too fast.

Instead of exploring more of this setting or explaining more some of the concepts introduced, like "ehlsea", they just jump to another mini-arc about this family, that I'm guessing it's going to get resolved in the next episode. I wonder what this is going to bring the anime, since it doesn't seem to add a lot, and for a short anime, I was expecting them to focus more on the important stuff.

This 2nd half was a bit predicctable and not really the best storytelling P.A.Works has brought us either. So these 2 siblings are fighting to be the heir of the family's name (the "chief" of the family, you might say), but in reality the girl likes the brother sibling? Yeah... that's not very... well...

Also, how old is Amoru supposed to be, because last episode she was portrayed much younger than what she was portrayed this episode, or it was just my impression.

Overall, this episode had his positive points and was enjoyable, but I just can't stop worrying about the direction this is taking, and how I feel like this Lontano family drama isn't going to be relevant to the story of the anime (I hope, at least, it's a way for them to explore more of the characters of the main trio).

Edit: Forgot to mention, but I feel like the first 5 minutes could easily be their own episode, but it was just rushed.
@PokefanPT This might be the case, I am still looking forward to the fight between yuugure and yoiyami

@rassilon it was said in the 2nd episode, I guess.. that LC which was Life Companion about to be introduced by Towasa before Akira got shot. Which was the use of cybernetics in Human/living together with AI or becoming an Android something like that. That word might have lost its meaning over the years ending up as Ehlsea instead of LC.

Not a good sign at all when the episode starts with yet more terrible writing by allowing Akira to break into a high-security prison with zero issues, only to decide on the escape that there suddenly is all the security in the world and that they're a threat. Akira's determination to go so far for Amoru is completely unjustified and hence impossible to take seriously.

In general, the pacing is absolutely abysmal and just doesn't work. That whole prison break sequence felt like it could and should have been a whole episode, rather than just a rushed 5 minute sequence.

And, against all logic, it's a fucking harem when the MC EXPLICITLY HAS FEELINGS FOR ONE SPECIFIC GIRL? Fuck right off with that.

This is an easy drop, a garbage original anime that doesn't deserve the time of day and, dare I say, even feels AI-written potentially.

The panty shots from Yugure fighting the prison guards reminded me of '90s and early 2000s anime, good times. On that note Amoru's outfit continues to be sexy whether or not she realizes it.

Regarding the FICA event, with the introduction of the mafia siblings and the sister turning down the guys that were lined up I figured Akira would get her attention and he actually did lol. What I didn't expect was she is actually in love with her half brother (not sure if they're blood related at all , I don't think they are). Anyways, this episode turned from an action/adventure to more of a gag comedy/romance type which I didn't mind.

Only 5 minutes dedicated to saving Amoru? This could be its own episode that will actually build Amoru's character and relationship with Akira and make me feel something. But no, scrap that and quickly make Yuugure and Amoru fawn over Akira, which admittedly was funny but could've just been in the next episode.

After Fides and Kalcrom were said to go to the matchmaking event, it was obvious that Kalcrom would get interested in Yuugure and Fides in Akira, but in the latter we actually got something better: Fides wants to fuck her own brother, lol. Considering ehlsea is practically just marriage for the new age, you could say that sibling marriage is practically legal. But considering laws against procreation between the 2 exist (though no mention of laws barring sexual activity between siblings) and that their father will oppose it shows that the stigma is still prevalent to a degree.

It was surprising to see a robot's Pan-Chira since 2B.
But overseas, even if it's a machine or non-human substance, it would likely be deemed inappropriate and regulated.

Since the anime's not gonna answer, how the fuck are they walking around totally undisguised with no issues when they should be fugitives at this point?

Looks like we're heading towards some kind of nonsense harem with a wet bag protag at the center. Yay.

More incest. Yay.

I've watched 3 episodes of this, and so far, I’m not impressed. No loli fanservice. No incest, and a lack of fan service in general. The story is okay. But not great. The whole “getting frozen and waking up in the future” thing has been done before. And the animation is lackluster compared to what P.A Works has been done in the past. (can’t wait for Lycoris Recoil season 2). I like the gore, however. That came out of nowhere and lifted things for me. But if anything even remotely better comes around, this may be my first drop of the season.

@ptcmty004 I totally agree, this might be the fastest I've seen a series incorporate so many bad anime tropes after a strong first episode. We already got incest subtext, useless MC, girl obsessed with MC for no reason, overly evil card carrying villains, fanservice character of questionable age, and now a harem. I kind of want to drop, but I also wonder how many more it can add.
