復讐の展開とかあるのかな？

>>1

Will it have some revenge action?

これって追放ものの神作？それともまったり系の神作？

Is this a shoelacerkino or a comfykino?

タイトルに「戦記」って付いてるからな。幼女戦記を見てれば分かるだろ。たぶん緊張感ゆるめの軍事ものだと思う

>>3

it has senki in the title. if you've seen youjo senki you should know. i imagine it's low stakes military action

>サポートは戦わなかった。
>よし、パーティーから追い出そう。
やめろ。

>The support didn't fight.
>Time to boot her out of the party.

STOP

いい歳した大人の戦士を、JRPGやってるガキよりバカに書くってどうやったらできるんだよ？

>>5 >>8

How do you write grown adult combatants that are dumber than a kid playing a JRPG?

パーティーで何の役にも立たない、まるで意味のない支援役なんだよ、そいつは

>>6

She's a useless f*****g support that serves NO purpose in a party, anon.

>お前はサポートだ
>お前は役立たずだ
エーアイが書いたような筋だな。

>You're a support.
>You're useless.

ai generated plot.

公平に言うと、この手の話の大半はこんな感じなんだよな
>Sランクのバフも回復もやって、装備のエンチャントも作成も戦術の研究もやってるお前
>お前は役立たずだ
それに比べてこっちは
>文字どおり荷運びのロバみたいに戦利品を拾って運ぶだけのお前
>お前は役立たずだ（でも実は、地味だけどちゃんとやってる仕事を本気で見落としてる）
少なくとも、よくある追放ものの設定よりはずっと伸びしろがありそう

>>8

To be fair in most of these its something like
>you give us all our S-rank buffs, heal us, enchant and craft our gear and research combat tactics
>you're useless
where as in this one its
>you pick up and carry loot for us like a literal pack donkey
>you're useless (but we're legit overlooking some actually subtle work you put in)
At least it would seem to have way more potential than the usual shoelacer setup.

>楽だから補助専門でやってたけど、おかげで戦闘はヌルゲーになってた
>お前はマジで役立たずだ！
現実にはそんなこと誰も言わないけど、手っ取り早く復讐もの、追放ものにできるからなんだろうな

>>8 >>5

>used to be exclusively utility support since it was easy but I made combat a walk in the park
>YOU'RE F*****G USELESS
nobody says this but it's an easy revenge, shoelacer thing I guess

残念ながら、あれはリアルでもあるんだよ。人気のMMOをやったことがあれば分かるけど、考えの浅い連中はみんなダメージメーターだけで価値を判断するんだ。ステータスを掘り下げないとメーターなんて全く当てにならないってことを分かってるのは、本当に上手い奴だけ

>>10

It's unfortunately also real because if you've ever played a popular MMO every mouthbreather relies on the damage meter to judge worthiness and only the actually skilled know that meters are f*****g worthless without digging deeper into the stats

くっそ可愛いな

God damn she cute.

これってヴァイオレット・エヴァーガーデン？

>>12 >>17 >>34

Is this Violet Evergarden?

お、このアニメの音響監督は分かってるな。赤い服の太ったおばさんの声がサラウンドで鳴ってた

Oh this anime has a based sound director, the fat lady in red's audio was played in surround sound.

お前の「いい音響演出」の基準って、単に「俺の高いサラウンドシステムを活かしてくれる」ってだけ？

>>14

Are your standards for "good sound direction" simply just "makes use of my expensive surround-sound system"?

BDがほとんど2.1chなんだから、そうだよ

>>15

When BDs mostly stick to 2.1 channels, yes.

こいつはドヤ顔の似合う子だな

This is one smug girl

変な回だったな。テンポがかなりおかしくて、あの子が何もかもスピードランしてるみたいだった。そもそも何の話なのか、いまだにさっぱり分からん

What a weird episode, the pacing was way off, it felt she was speedrunning through things. I'm still confused as f**k about what it's even about.

>パーティーを追い出されて、そのあと一人で別の王国へ行く
倍速視聴勢にはこれが理解できない

>>18

>gets kicked out of her party then leaves on her own to another kingdom

speedwatches can't understand this

そいつじゃないけど、テンポがちょっと変だったのは否定すんなよ。あの子、なぜかダークソウルを5000時間やり込んだ奴がまた気軽にスピードランしてるみたいな動きしてたぞ
まあそれでも見続けるけどな。少なくとも次の話もチェックしようと思えるくらいには期待できた

>>19

Not that anon but don't pretend the pacing wasn't kinda off. She's inexplicably behaving like someone with 5000 hours in Dark Souls casually going for another speedrun.
Still picking this up though, it was promising enough to check out another episode at least.

>そのあと一人で別の王国へ行く
ヴィクトリア？

>>19

>then leaves on her own to another kingdom
Victoria?

ヴィッキーのアニメは誰も見てなかったけどな。でも、そう

>>21

Except no one watched Vicky's show, but yes.

>「戦記」
おいおい、俺のハイセルク戦記のアニメ化とか画像のやつとか、他のはどこだよ
もう「戦記」を外して「少女主人公の戦争ごっこ」とかにでもしとけ…戦争や暴力の描き方がここまで控えめで何が戦記だよ、本当に呆れる
戦記ってのは何よりもまず戦争の話なんだよ。どこかでそれが中心に来ないなら、内政ものだかなんだか、別のつまらんジャンルに手を出してるだけだ。まあ、この板で戦記を読んでる唯一の人間として言いたいのはそれだけだ

>"senki"
bruh where's my Highserk Senki adaption or pic related or any other.
Just delete senki and call it Shoujo Protagonist Plays War or something...appalling indeed how can it be senki when its so utterly restrained in its depiction of warfare, violence and so on.
Senki is primarily about warfare if that's doesn't take the central stage at some point you're either dabbling into naisei s**t or some other crappy genre. Anyhow that's all I'm gonna say as the only person who reads senki on this board.

ハイセルク戦記の主人公も、最終的には冒険者ギルドに入るぞ

>>23

The MC of Highserk Senki joins the adventurers guild eventually.

で、ある国々がまた調子に乗り始めたら、仕えに／皆殺しにしに戻っていったな。あと、湖の底は覗くなよ

>>24

And he went back to serve/slaughter when certain countries started getting uppity again. Also don't look under the lake.

なんで俺らは「戦記」が嫌いなんだ？

why do we hate "senki"?

よくある悪役令嬢ものの逆ハーレムって感じだけど、ちょっとだけ出来がいいな
でも、なんであの子は戦闘に参加しなかったんだ？それとも、実はSSSSSSSSSランクの支援魔法でチーム全体を支えてたってタイプの話？

Looks like a typical villainess story with reverse harem, but slightly higher quality.
Why didn't she participate in fights, though? Or is it one of those stories where she was carrying the whole team with SSSSSSSSS-rank support magic?

あの子に特別な力は無いよ。ただ頭がいいだけ

>>27

She doesn't have special powers, she's just smart.

あらすじによると、力はあるらしいぞ。自分が領地を治めてるときは運が良くなるんだと。変だけど、そういうことらしい

>>28

Synopsis says she does have a power, she's lucky whenever she rules over a territory. Weird but that's what it is.

ファイアーエムブレムみたいなもんだよ
多少は戦えるけど（大したことはない）、基本は軍の部隊を指揮して、防衛とか遠征をしながら魔族の侵攻から地方を掃除していく感じ

>>27

Is like a fire emblem
She can fight (nothing major) but is mostly about commanding a military squad and doing defense/adventure stuff cleaning the countryside from demon invasion.

悪役令嬢っぽいところが全然見当たらないんだけど？
ただの「令嬢」で、悪役令嬢じゃないってことでいいんだよな？
それとも辺境から1話の王国に攻め込むのか

I don't see anything villainness about this?
It's "just" reijou, not akuyakureijo right?

Or is she going to invade the ep 1 kingdom from the Hinterlands.

市場で決まった相場を金融の小技ですり抜けていくんだよ

>>31

She's going to use financial tricks to bypass the costs agreed upon by the market.

石鹸と化粧品を売って復讐の資金にするんだよ

>>31

She's going to sell soap and cosmetic to fund her revenge plot.

>1話が引き込む導入じゃなくて下準備で終わる
うん、間違いなくラノベの量産アニメ化だわ。それ以外は全体的にしっかりしてる

>ep1 is setup instead of being an engaging pilot
Yup it's an ln slop adaptation alright. Solid all around otherwise.

24〜26話で冬までやるから、話は最後まで描くはず

>>34

Is 24-26 ep going into winter, will tell a complete story.

今のところの物悲しい雰囲気は好き。でもすぐ消えそうな気がする

>>34

I like the melancholy feel so far, but I get the sense that'll disappear soon

>ちっちゃい帽子
切った

>tiny hat
Dropped

わかる。でも少なくとも帽子はかぶってる。最近、帽子をかぶってない魔女が困るくらい多いんだよ

>>37

Fair, but at least she has a hat. There's been a distressing number of witches without hats lately.

>婚約破棄ものの少女漫画、プラス、パーティー追放もの
草
AIにマリオをダークソウルの中に入れさせて、それをさらにマインクラフトの中に入れて、みたいな組み合わせを延々やってる感じ。今ってそういう段階なんだよ。基本のアイデアは出尽くしたから、あとは組み合わせるだけ

>Broken-engagement shoujo PLUS getting kicked out of the party shoelacer.
LMAO

This is like AI putting Mario inside of Dark Souls inside of Minecraft and all the other permutations. That's where we're at now. All the base-level ideas possible have already been thought of, now we just mix and match

でもこの2つって割と相性いいんだよな。願望かもしれないけど、ここから戦闘ほぼ無しで4Xゲーム的な内政・政治・会議ものに振り切ってくれたら、本当に面白くなるかもしれない

>>39

These kinda go well together thoughever. Its probably wishful thinking but if it would pivot into full on 4X/politics/meetings with no more or very little action I think it might be genuinely good.

>漫画版を調べる
>まだ7話しかない
もう作品が枯渇してて、製作委員会は漫画化をすっ飛ばしてラノベから直接アニメにしてるのか？

>look up manga
>only 7 chapters
Is there really such a death of works that committees are going from LN to Anime pipeline and skipping the manga adaptations?

漫画の制作は遅いから、もっと早くて広く届く「ラノベを読んでね」の宣伝がほしいってことなんだろう

>>41

I guess it's because manga production is slower and they'd rather have a faster and wider reaching "Read the LN" advertisement.

日本だと漫画版は5巻まで出てるから、1話あたりがめちゃくちゃ長いんだろうな

>>41

There's 5 volumes of the manga out in jp so those must be some super long ass chapters

勇者パーティーから追放される話って、グループ課題でほとんど自分がやらされた人たちの復讐なんじゃないかと思う。

I can't help but wonder if those EXILED FROM THE HERO PARTY are all from people that are pissed they were doing most of the job in group projects and this is their revenge

この手の話のよくある展開と、書いてる人間の種類を考えると、たぶん仕事ぶりは並なのに、自分は欠かせない存在だと思い込んでたんだろうな

>>44

Considering how these usually play out and the kind of people who write them, they were probably average at their job yet believed themselves to be instrumental.

こういうのって、書類の効率的な出し方を知り尽くしてる自分が認められなかったら会社全体が崩壊する、と思い込んでる下っ端社員の話なんだよ

>>44

They're stories from low level losers employees convinced the entire company would fall apart if their intricate knowledge of how to file the forms efficiently wasn't acknowledged.

なろう作品の多くが、サラリーマンの体験談にドラクエ風ファンタジーの皮をかぶせただけなのは、ちょっと悲しいものがある

>>46

It's actually a little sad how much Narou stuff is just salaryman experience skinned over with Dragon Quest fantasy veneer.

で、彼女のSSSSSSランクの能力って、戦利品のかすめ取りと物々交換なの？

So her SSSSSS rank powers are yoinking loot and bartering?

PoEで一番金持ってるのは、ゲーム本編はほとんど遊ばずにトレードばっかりしてる連中だからな

>>48

The richest people in POE are those that play the actual game the least and trade the most

あの母親ほんとに嫌い。父親はあんな人のどこが良かったんだ？

I hate the mom so much. What did her father even see in this fat pig?

伯爵なんだから結婚相手を選ぶ余地なんてほとんど無くて、家の都合で結婚したんだろ

>>50

He is a count so he likely had little choice in who to marry and did so for dynastic reasons.

ロメリアは婚約破棄されてもあんまり気にしてなさそうだな。アンリ王子も根っからのクズってわけじゃなさそう。魔王を倒すためにあいつとその一行と旅したことで、彼女は変わったんだろう。修羅場をくぐってきた子なんだよ。何を企んでるのか気になる。
ここまでは正直悪くない。気に入ってる

Romelia sure doesn’t seem too bothered about ending her betrothal. And the prince doesn’t seem like a total douchebag. I’m guessing traveling with the guy and his party to defeat the demon lord changed her. Girl’s seen some s**t. Curious to see what she’s planning.
So far, I gotta say this ain’t half bad. I’m liking what I’m seeing.

＞アンリ王子も根っからのクズってわけじゃなさそう
そう、そこが意外だった。王様との謁見の場から彼女が出ていこうとしたとき、王子はためらってるように見えたんだよな。もう二度と彼女に会えないんだってやっと実感して、後悔してたのかもしれない

And the prince doesn’t seem like a total douchebag.
Yeah, that surprised me. When she was going to leave the meeting with the king, he actually seemed hesitant about it, like it was finally sinking in that he wasn't going to see her again, and that he may have had regrets about that.

王子なんだから結婚に個人的な感情を持ち込むべきじゃないし、婚約の約束はちゃんと守るべきってのはわかる。でも、民の存続をかけた戦いで仲間と肩を並べて命を張り続けてたら、戦闘には加わらずに主に死体漁りをしてる女に、ちょっと苦い気持ちを抱くのもわかるんだよな（たぶん兵站もやってたんだろうけど、そこは描かれなかった）。
王子ははっきり罰しようとしてたわけじゃないし、最後に彼女が荷物を持っていくことにも文句は言わなかった。ただ、もう同じ目で彼女を見られなくなってたんだ

And I get how as a prince, his personal feelings shouldn't really come into play for marriage, and upholding his word on betrothals and everything. But I also get how when you're constantly fighting, risking your life side by side with people in a war for your people's survival, it makes you feel a little bitter to the lady who doesn't help in the fights and seems mostly in charge of looting corpses (and I assume logistics but they didn't cover that).
He wasn't trying to explicitly punish her and he had no objections to her taking her pack at the end. But he just couldn't see her the same way.

そう、ロメリアと王子は一緒に旅行に行った若いカップルが、旅の途中でこの関係は無理だとはっきりして、帰ってきたら別れるみたいな感じだった。日本ではこれを「成田離婚」って言うらしい。ちょっとしたヒントからすると、旅を始めた頃のロメリアと王子は本当に仲が良かったけど、だんだん変わっていったんだろうな。王子も彼女が去るときはちょっと気まずそうだった。新鮮で良かった

Yeah, Romelia and the Prince felt like a young couple who went on a trip together, and then broke up when they got home because during the trip it became clear that their relationship just wouldn't work out. In Japan they call it a Narita Divorce. Based on some hints we got I get the feeling that when they started their journey Romelia and the Prince were actually close, but things changed. And he did seem to feel a bit bad when she left. It's pretty refreshing to see

細かいところをかなり省いたのか、ロメリアの心の声や独白が無いのはわざとなのか。どっちにしろ、あまり見ない語り口だし、ロメリアは有能そう。ただ母親はちょっと頭が足りないな。身分にこだわりすぎ。少なくとも両親は彼女を虐げたり追い出したりはしなかった

Either they omitted a lot of details, or the lack of Romelia's thoughts and inner monologues is deliberate. Either way, it's not a commonly used way to tell a story, and Romelia seems competent. Her mom is kinda dumb, though, she seems way too obsessed with status. At least her parents didn't mistreat her or kick her out.

気持ちを伏せているのは意図的だと思う。ただ、作者の初めてのラノベが原作なんだよな。様子を見よう。

I suspect keeping much of Romelia's feelings hidden IS deliberate. But this IS based on an author's first LN. So we will have to see how things develop.

経験の浅い作者が一人称視点や心の声に頼りきってないのは珍しい。少なくとも欧米のヤングアダルト小説ではね。作者いいぞ！

Unusual to not have an inexperienced author rely heavily on first-person perspective or internal dialogue, at least in Western YA literature. Good for the author!

いつだってわざとだよ。たとえば『トモちゃんは女の子！』だと、淳一郎の心の声は6話の終わりまで出てこなかった。トモと一緒に視聴者もわからないままにしておくためにね。作者はロメリアが何を考えてるのか、まだ知らせたくないんだよ

It's always deliberate. Example, in Tomo-chan is a Girl, we didn't get Jun's inner thoughts until the end of the 6th episode to keep us uncertainalong with Tomo. Writer doesn't want us to know what Romey's thinking yet

考えの読めない主人公をうまく描けてない例として、いつも『小林さんちのメイドラゴン』の英語吹き替えを思い出す。日本語版の小林さんはすごく感情が平坦だから、話の最後で彼女が見せる仕草を待って初めて全部がつながる。でも英語吹き替えは演技に深みがありすぎて、感情が丸見えになっちゃってるんだよ

I always think of the English dub of Kobayashi's Dragon Maid as an example of doing the inscrutable protagonist the wrong way. In the Japanes version Kobayashi is very emotionally flat which means you really have to wait for the gestures she makes at the end of stories for all the pieces to click. But in the English dub the performance almost has too much depth and telegraphs her emotions too much.

これはすごく単純な理由で面白い。1話の時点だと、彼女は本当に役に立ってなかったと考えても無理がない感じなんだよな。
普通は「こいつらバカは寄生させてもらってるのに気づいてない」ってのがあからさまで、主人公がパーティーに欠かせなかったのがすぐわかる。
でもこの作品だと、ロメリアが戦利品漁りが好きってこと以外、マジで何なのか全然わからない。パーティーにいた頃の彼女について、アニメはそれ以外何も見せてくれないから。
「実はずっとバフをかけてた」とか「こっそり魔法を使ってた」みたいなのはやめてほしい。ダサいしバカっぽいから（本当に本当に本当にパーティーを追い出されたかったなら別だけど、それでも好きにはなれない）。
可能性の一つはチームの頭脳だったってことだけど、少なくとも戦闘中に指示を出したりはしてなかった。もし戦闘前に作戦を立ててたなら、作戦が大失敗でもしない限り、追い出して「役に立たなかった」って言うのは筋が通らない。
もっと管理的な役割で、頭の良さは全部戦闘の外で発揮してたのかもしれない。持ち物の管理とか、政治、交易、ルート計画とかね。
要するに、マジで見当がつかないし、彼女は戦闘員としても、バフ役としても、軍師としても描かれてなかった。
だから興味はあるし、ダサい種明かしじゃないといいなと思ってる。
期待してるのは、普通この手の話だと1話の時点で「他の連中がバカで、明らかに寄生してたのに気づいてないだけ」ってわかるのに、この作品では（まだ）そうじゃないから

This is actually interesting for a very simple reason, in the first episode it kinda feels reasonable assumption she didn’t really help
Like, usually it’s a blatant “this f*****g morons are getting carried and they don’t realize it” and you can easily tell how the MC was viral to the party and all
Here I genuinely have no f*****g idea what Romelia deal is other than being a loot goblin, because the show doesn’t show us anything other than that when she was with the party
I hope they don’t pull a “she was buffing them all the time or secretly casting spell” because it’s lame and stupid (unless she REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to get kicked off the party, but I still wouldn’t like it)
One option could be her being the brains of the team, but she didn’t actually give them directions or anything at least in battle, but if they did pre battle planning then unless her plan went horribly wrong kicking her out and saying she didn’t help makes no sense
She could have had a more manegerial role and her smarts being entirely out of combat, so keeping inventory and dealing with politics, trade, route planning, etc.
Main point is that I have no f*****g clue and she really wasn’t sold as a combatant, nor a buffer or battle strategist
So I’m interested and I hope it won’t be some lame reveal
I’m hopeful because usually we already know in episode one of this trope that it’s just the others being morons and not realizing they are obviously getting carried, but not here (yet)

＞1話の時点だと、彼女は本当に役に立ってなかったと考えても無理がない感じ
冒頭の戦闘シーンを見返したけど、彼女はそこに全然映ってないから、少なくとも比喩的には柱の陰に隠れてたっぽいんだよな。
＞可能性の一つはチームの頭脳だったってこと
今のところいくつか手がかりはあると思う。少なくとも、見るのをやめるんじゃなくて興味が湧く程度にはね。
首を切り落とすよう念を押したのは彼女だった。首を持ってきてすら将軍があれだけ疑ってたことを考えると、あれはかなり重要だった。
王都に証拠を送り続けてたのも彼女らしい（印章を前に送ったものと照合する、みたいな話があった）。
魔王が確実に死んだのを確かめたのも彼女だ。
戦利品漁りも、あれが魔王だったと証明する材料にするためだったんじゃないかと思う。
それでも全部がっかりな結果に終わるかもしれないけど、この手の話の始まりとしては十分に興味をそそられるし、同類の作品のほとんどが繊細さのかけらも無い中で、それだけでも楽しむ価値がある

in the first episode it kinda feels reasonable assumption she didn’t really help
I even went back and rewatched the opening action sequence and it actually does seem like she was at least metaphorically hiding behind the pillar because she just doesn't appear in it.
One option could be her being the brains of the team
I think we have a few clues so far, or at least enough that it made me curious rather than switching off.
She is the one who had to remind them to cut off the head, which turned out to be pretty crucial given how skeptical the general was even WITH the head.
She is also the one who had been sending evidence back to the capital it seems (something about matching the seal to what she'd sent previously).
She's the one who actually made sure the demon lord was dead
I feel like she mostly loot goblined to help support their case it was the demon king
Still it may all turn out not to be disappointing, but an intriguing enough start to this sort of story regardless and that's worth enjoying in its own right when most of its stablemates have negative subtlety.

うん、彼女は兵站の支援役だったって印象を受けた。『真の仲間じゃないと勇者のパーティーを追い出されたので、辺境でスローライフすることにしました』の主人公みたいな感じ。あっちは戦闘もこなしてたけど。むしろ『ダンまち』のリリに近いかな。リリは軍師でもあるけど。
でかいリュックの荷物持ちは、いつだってパーティーの成功に欠かせないんだよ！

Yeah, I got the impression that she was in a logistical support role, kind of like the MC in Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside, although he was also a combatant. Maybe more like Lili from DanMachi, although she's also a strategist.
Giant Backpack Carrier is always important to the success of a party!

ちょうど同じことを書きに来たところだったから笑った。「パーティー追放もの」はたくさん、本当にたくさん読んだり見たりしてきたけど、作品の出来は追放のされ方にだいたい表れるって、ほぼ確信を持って言える。大半は誤解（たいてい無難）、過小評価・見くびり（個人的には最悪）、主人公のパーティー側が正しい（たいてい最高）のどれかに落ち着く。
今回はかなり警戒してる（これ以外の理由もある）。特にこれのせいで：
＞だから興味はあるし、ダサい種明かしじゃないといいなと思ってる
主人公が本当に役立たずだった場合を除けば（しかも本人は役立たずじゃなかったとほのめかしてる）、この種明かしがゴミにならない道はまず無い。考えてみてよ。王子とその一行が、庶民の主婦みたいな服装の荷物持ち（マジで、彼女の服は同情を引くためにデザインされてるように見えた）に、おそらく今まで戦った中で最強の敵相手に最前線で戦えって期待してたのか、軍師を過小評価してたのか、彼女がこっそりバフや手助けをしてたのに何の理由もなく黙ってたのか（去り際に意味深なセリフを残したのは言うまでもなく）、のどれかになる。
もう一つ大きな不安は、OPで男女比がかなり偏ってること（公平に言うと王子の一行も同じだった）。これはたいてい自分にとって特大の危険信号なんだよ。偏り自体は気にしないけど、今のOPみたいに6対0はない。信じてくれ、少女漫画でも少年漫画でも、これはだいたい危険信号。全部読んできたからな。間違ってたらいいけど、今のところ雲行きは良くない。
良い点としては、褒美の場面全体の流れが好きだし、よく書けてた（あの宝石は王様がくれるどんな金額よりも価値があったから、彼女がそれを求めたのは納得）。貴族の息子を釣ってたのも面白かったし、正直に払ったとしても王様が出すよりずっと多くなってたはず。だからあそこは良かったし、希望が持てる。作画も絵も良いから、この小さな壁を越えてくれるといいな

Kinda funny because I came here to post this exact thing. I've read and watch MANY and I mean MANY "kicked out of the party" stories and I can almost with certainty say that the quality of the work is usually reflective on how the person was kicked out. Most methods come down to misunderstandings (usual handled ok), underappreciation/underestimation (the worst one imo) and the MC's party being justified (usually the best one).
In this case I'm extremely wary (due to this and other reasons) but in particular it's because of this:
So I’m interested and I hope it won’t be some lame reveal
There's really no real way that this reveal won't be garbage unless the MC was really just useless (and the MC herself is hinting that she wasn't). Think about it, either the prince + his party expected a porter to fight on the front lines while wearing a commoner housewife's outfit (seriously her character's outfit seemed to be designed to garner sympathy) against a very powerful foe probably the MOST powerful foe they've faced, underappreciated their strategist or she was secretly buffing/helping them and not saying that she was for 0 reason (not to mention dropping a cryptic line before leaving).
The other big issue I have is that the OP is showing a heavy gender skew (to be fair the prince also had a group which was the same). That's usually a HUGE red flag to me. I don't mind a gender skew but not 6-0 as it currently is from the OP. Trust me on this, Shoujo or Shonen this is usually a big red flag, I've read them all lmao. Hopefully I am wrong but it's not looking good so far.
On a positive note, I do like how the whole reward scenario played out and that it was well written (the gem was worth more money than the King would ever give her, so I'm cool that she asked for it), it's also cool to see her baiting the noble's son and even if he honest, he would have paid way more than the king would have given. So that part was cool and gives me hope. The animation and art are also good, so let's hope this little hurdle gets cleared.

＞主人公が本当に役立たずだった場合を除けば（しかも本人は役立たずじゃなかったとほのめかしてる）、この種明かしがゴミにならない道はまず無い
この作品にはかなり期待してる。主人公は自分のことを役に立たなかったって言ってたけど、すごく有能で状況を完璧に把握してるんだよ。複雑な駆け引きで値段交渉ができて、無理強いせずに人を思い通りに動かせることも示した。
なんなら、彼女は婚約破棄を望んでたんじゃないかとさえ思う。たぶんカシューで何かやる必要があるんだろう（彼女にとって何かの償いなのかな）。それに、もともと彼女は王子と一緒に旅立ったって話もあったし（駆け落ちって言われてた）、パーティーがあそこまで行けたのは彼女が色々取り仕切ってたからって可能性は高い。
この作品は大成功するか、盛大にコケるかのどっちかだと思う。中間は無い。
どっちにしろ楽しみにしてる

There's really no real way that this reveal won't be garbage unless the MC was really just useless (and the MC herself is hinting that she wasn't)
I have high hopes for this show, because the MC said of herself that she wasnt helpful, but is highly competent and got absolute situational awareness. She proved she knows how to haggle in a complex way and how to get people to do her bidding without forcing them.
I would even go as far as to guess that she wanted the betothral to be cancelled. Probably because she needs to do something in Cashu (I guess its some kind of reparation for her). They also mentioned that she originally set out with the prince (enloping they called it), so chances are high they only got so far because she was handling things
I see this show either riding high or burning and crashing super hard, no way in between
I am looking forward to it anyway

前のクールの『ブチギレ令嬢』を明るくして、予算を上げた感じ。新スタジオのアトラのデビュー作としてはじょうじょうだ。

This feels like a more lighthearted version of last season's Livid Lady's Guide to Getting Even with a higher production value. Decent debut anime for the new studio Atra.

え、これ新しいスタジオなの？戦闘シーンも日常シーンも作画がすごく目に優しい。
1話だけ全力出して、そのあとクールが進むにつれてクオリティがガタ落ちするスタジオじゃないといいな

Oh this is a new studio? Their animation, both the combat and mundane part are really good on the eye.
Hopefully this is not one of those studio who went all out on the first episode, while the quality starts to significantly diminish over the season

彼女からめちゃくちゃエルっぽさを感じた。殺意は無いけど 😂

I was soooo getting Elle vibes from her, but without the murderous intent 😂

今回の彼女はちょっと冷たくて計算高いところもあったから、まだ完全な善人とは思ってない。
エルのせいで、復讐する姫もののお約束を見る目がすっかり変わっちゃったわ笑

She's also a bit cold and calculating in this episode, so I wouldn't count her as fully good yet.
Elle really tainted my perspective of revenge princess trope lol

この1話は、見せ方がどれだけ大事かのいい例だね。厳密に言えば、『真の仲間じゃないと勇者のパーティーを追い出されたので、辺境でスローライフすることにしました』みたいな追放ものと、悪役令嬢ものでよく見る婚約破棄の両方のお約束が入ってる。なのにすごく自然に感じた。
ロメリアの描き方が好き。とても有能。人生の次の段階で彼女が何をしようとしてるのか気になる。
2クールなのも嬉しい

The first episode is an example of how important execution is. Technically speaking this has both tropes from Banished from Hero's Party and broken engagement you see in many villainess series. But it felt very natural.
I do like how they portrayed Romelia. She is very competent. It has me curious what her plans moving on to the next stage of her life.
Nice to see this is 2 cours.

2クールなのは見落としてたけど、立ち上がりがゆっくりだからそれは良いことだね。製作委員会がじっくりしたペースで話を描く時間をくれたってことだし。正直、面白い疑問をたくさん残したまま終わったこともあって、この作品への期待が上がった

I missed this is two cours, but with the slow start that is a good thing, the production committee was willing to give it the time to tell the story at a slower pace. Honestly based on how it left a lot of interesting questions unanswered and that, my hopes for this show have goten higher.

ちょうど調べたら、2クールだけど連続じゃないってさ。だから今12話やって、残り12話は2027年春ってことになってもおかしくない

I just looked it up and it says two cours but not consecutively, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's 12 episodes now and 12 in Spring 2027

2クール？いいね。この回みたいにこのまま面白くあってほしい

2 cours? Nice i just hope it's continues to be good like this ep

かなり面白い1話だった。あんまり賢くない王子にロメリアが婚約破棄されるみたいなお約束は別として、ロメリア本人の淡々としたキャラにすごく惹かれたし、ミネルボへの対応が最高だった。カシューで彼女が何をしたいのか、絶対に見届けたい。
あと、ロメリアの父親がまともな親っぽいのはかなり意外だった。母親もまあそうなんだけど、ちょっと心に問題を抱えてるのかな？
それにアニメ自体の出来もかなりいい。アトラにとって初のアニメだから、どうこなすのか楽しみ。記憶が正しければ連続2クールらしいし

Pretty interesting first episode. Aside from the pretty standard stuff like Romelia's engagement being annulled by a not-so-wise Prince, I was quite interested in Romelia herself because of her stoic character, and I loved how she dealt with Minervo. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what she wants to do in Cashu.
Also, I was quite surprised that Romelia's father seems like an okay parent. Her mother too, although she seems to have some psychological problems, perhaps?
Plus, the anime itself looks pretty good. It'll be interesting to see how Atra handles its first anime, especially since it'll be two consecutive cours from what I remember.
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:
Romelia Group scenes Others EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

即決で継続ってほどじゃないけど、2話が1話と同じくらいなら、今期の視聴リスト入りはほぼ確実。
ロメリアの声優さんはこれが初主演らしい。かなりいい感じ。それに原作は新人ラノベ作家のデビュー作みたい（ラノベは完結してるけど、漫画版はまだ）。
母親はかなり問題ありそうだけど、父親はなかなかまとも。王様もまあ悪くなかったけど、息子で跡継ぎの王子はかなりダメだった。それにもちろん、あの「聖女」はたぶんもっとひどい。ロメリアはもうあいつらと縁を切ったのかな。それとも、また話に戻ってくるのか？

This is not quite an insta-keep, but if ep2 lives up to ep1, it is pretty sure to get a spot on this season's watch list.
It looks like the VA for Romelia is doing her first lead role here. She is sounding pretty good. It also looks like this is based on a newbie LN author's first published work (the LN series is finished, but the manga daptation is not).
The mother here seems to be quite problematic, but the father seems pretty decent. The King seemed okay, but his son and heir was pretty rubbishy. And, of course, the "saint" is probably worse. I wonder if Romelia is done with them -- or will they re-enter the story?

待って、正直『ヴァイオレット・エヴァーガーデン』と同じ声優だと思ってた。まあ確認はしてないけど

Wait, honestly I thought it was the same VA as Violet Evergarden. Thought to be fair I didn't check.

母親は貴族という身分の犠牲者なのかもしれない。貴族らしく振る舞わなきゃいけないプレッシャーとか、貴族として育てられたこと自体が原因なのかも

Her mother could very well be a victim of royal status. The whole pressure of presenting yourself as a noble or even being raised as one may be the reasons

なんでロメリア戦記なんだ？こういうのは『追放されたので悪役令嬢として最強アイテムを売ります』みたいな題名にする決まりだろ。

Why'd they call it Romelia War Chronicle? Didn't they get the memo? You're supposed to call these things 'I was banished from the hero party and so I will dutifully embrace my roll as a villainess and sell all the strongest items' or whatever.

自分の取り分の戦利品さえ持っていけるなら、婚約破棄されても全然かまわないってロメリアの態度が笑えた。誰も見てない隙に一番強いアイテムを全部持っていったに違いない

It was funny the way Romelia was fine with cancelling her engagement so long as she was allowed to keep her part of the loot. No doubt she took all the strongest items while no one was looking.

＞誰も見てない隙に一番強いアイテムを全部持っていったに違いない
わかる、魔王と戦うのにどうしても要る物だけパーティーに渡して、それ以外は全部報酬の袋に入れてそう。彼女にはかなり具体的な目標があって、魔王討伐はその足がかりにすぎなかったって感じがする

No doubt she took all the strongest items while no one was looking
Yeah I can see her supplying only stuff to the party they absolutly need to fight the demon lord, anything else goes into the price bag. She seems to have a very specific goal in mind and the demon lord was only a stepping stone

MALだと別題として『Romelia Senki: Maou wo Taoshita Ato mo Jinrui Yabasou dakara Guntai Soshiki shita』（魔王を倒した後も人類やばそうだから軍隊組織した）とか『A History of the Romelia』とかが載ってる
でも『ロメリア戦記（Romelia War Chronicle）』って題のおかげで興味を引かれたのは確かだわ！

On MAL it says some of the alternative titles are: Romelia Senki: Maou wo Taoshita Ato mo Jinrui Yabasou dakara Guntai Soshiki shita, Romelia Senki: Forming a Military Organization Because Humanity Still Looks Screwed After Defeating the Demon King, A History of the Romelia
I will say that calling it Romelia War Chronicle certainly got my interest though!

その題名のほうが、いちわより筋を説明してるな。

That title explains the plot more than the first episode lmao

正直、「勇者パーティーから追放」と「婚約破棄」のお約束が両方いっぺんに来るから疑ってかかってたんだけど、勇者の一行が悪役のカリカチュアじゃなくて、ちゃんと分別のあるまともな人たちっぽいこと、それに円満に別れてることは良い兆しに感じた
まあ円満に別れたとはいえ、婚約破棄はやっぱり問題を起こしそう。王様は同情的に見えたし、王子ですら自分の対応がまずかったと気づいてるような印象がなんとなくあったから、王家がうまく取りなしてくれるといいな
結局売られるなら、所有権をやり取りしたあの件は何の意味があったんだ？ 領地に入るようにするための帳簿上の話？ それとも目立たないように、売ったのは彼女じゃないってことにするため？
てか、あの家はどうなってんの？ 父親は（たぶん）普通っぽいけど、母親は何か様子がおかしい。それに婚約破棄でスキャンダルになりかけてるにしても、なんで辺境と言われてる所に向かうんだ？ そもそもなんで家出して王子と婚約したのかも謎だらけだし
正直この時点で、いきなり異世界転生でしたってオチを半分期待してる（冗談）
とにかく、エピソード自体にすごく引き込まれたわけじゃないけど、ロメリアは面白い主人公っぽいし、気になる点もけっこうあるから、しばらくは見続けると思う

I admit I went in skeptical because of the "kicked out of the hero's party" trope and "breaking the engagement" trope both at once, but the fact that the hero's party seem to be decent people with decent heads on their shoulders instead of evil caricatures, and the fact that they're parting on alright terms, feels like a good sign.
Well, even if we know they parted on alright terms, it seems that breaking the engagement is still going to cause problems. Hopefully the royal family is somehow able to put in a good word, since the king looked sympathetic, and even the prince gave me a vague impression like he realized he handled it poorly.
What was the point of the whole trading ownership thing if it was getting sold anyways? Just an accounting thing so it goes to the territory? Or so the sale is recorded as not her, to keep a low profile?
Ok, what the heck is up with that household? Her dad seems normal(?) enough, but there's something weird going on with her mother. And even if there's the maybe-scandal with the broken engagement, why's she heading off to some alleged backwater? Plus there's a lot of weirdness with why she ran away from home and got engaged to the prince to begin with.
ngl at this point I'm half-expecting a surprise isekai /j
Anyways, the episode didn't super draw me in or anything, but Romelia seems like an interesting protagonist, and I'm curious about quite a few things, so I'll probably keep at this one for a while.

＞結局売られるなら、所有権をやり取りしたあの件は何の意味があったんだ？
いくつかの理由の組み合わせだと思う
セラ商会と彼女の家の関係は、主に父親と商会の間のものなんだよ
父親に譲る前は、商会の主人は、付き合いのない「家の令嬢」に対する無礼を、社交上の面でも、場合によっては金銭面でも償わなきゃいけないっていう、すごく気まずい立場にいた
父親に譲ることで、ロメリアはもう恨んでないし、商会の跡取りが仕掛けた駆け引きはここで終わりだって示したわけ。無礼への償いはもう求めないし、商会と家の関係は父親と商会の間の話に戻った
それに、この取引は彼女個人じゃなく家と家名のためのものだとはっきりさせたから、高値の申し出はその既存の商売関係への「再投資」ってことになる
少なくとも描かれ方からはそう受け取った。この作品は「語らずに見せる」をかなりやってるけど、それって裏に大したものが無いからそうなってるだけってこともあって、必ずしも脚本が優れてる証拠とは限らないんだよなw 今後の話数でわかるだろ！
＞母親は何か様子がおかしい
女性向けの現実逃避ものとしては、かなり典型的な母親像だと思うけど？

What was the point of the whole trading ownership thing if it was getting sold anyways?
A combination of a few things, I think:
The relationship between the Sella trading company and her family is primarily between her father and the company.
Before she gifted it to her father, the STC owner was now in a very awkward position of having to both socially compensate and potentially financially compensate the slight against The Daughter of the House, whom he doesn't have a relationship with.
By transferring it to her dad, Romelia indicated she held no further ill-will and was ending the power play that began with the STC heir; she was not seeking compensation for the slight any more, and the relationship between the STC and her family was now a matter between her father and the STC.
She made it clear that the transaction was to benefit her family/house/family name, and not her personally, and thus the high offer would be "reinvestment" into that existing commercial relationship.
At least that's what I took from the way it was presented. The show is doing a lot of show-don't-tell stuff, but sometimes that actually happens because there isn't much behind the scenes, rather than it being a sign of strong writing lol Time/future episodes will tell!
here's something weird going on with her mother
Fairly typical mother figure in female target audience escapism I'd say?

だいたいそれで合ってると思う。この手の政治をちゃんと理解して、貴族を貴族らしく振る舞わせてるのは評価したい。ロメリアは変わり者として描かれてるけどね。彼女は明らかに家のことを大事にしてて、商会との件をうまく立ち回って、家には金銭的な償いとして大金を、自分には社交上の償いとして比較的小さな品（魔法の絵の具）を自分の目的のために受け取れるようにした。商会の跡取りを詐欺未遂で責めるんじゃなく、目利きの腕を疑うっていう外交的なやり方でたしなめてて、それがかえって効果的にはったりを暴いて、相手を自分の言葉で追い詰めてる
ロメリアは冒頭で魔王軍はまだ問題になるって言ってたし、これまでのパーティーとのやり取りからすると、たぶん「評価されてない兵站係」タイプの追放者なんだろうな。このジャンルをもっと地に足のついた形でやろうとしてる気がする

This is pretty much it I think. I have to give the show credit for actually understanding these kinds of politics and making the nobles act like nobility, even if Romelia is shown to be an oddball. She clearly cares about her family/house, and she played the situation with the STC to get a large sum for her family as financial compensation and allow them to socially compensate her with a relatively small item for her own purposes (the magic paint). She even chastises the STC heir diplomatically, calling his appraisal skills into question rather than accusing him of attempted fraud, which more effectively calls his bluff and traps him with his own words.
Romelia did mention in the opening sequence that the demon army is still going to be a problem, and based on the interactions with the party so far she's probably the "underappreciated logistics" type of exile. Feels like we're setting up for a more grounded take on the genre here.

作画は良さそう。アクション以外の場面でも意欲的なカットがあって、絵コンテも全体的に良い。絵柄も良くて、線はちょっと太めで、よくあるファンタジー／異世界ものの彩度高めで色あせた感じとは違って色の塗りも丁寧。話としては追放ものと悪役令嬢ものの組み合わせっぽい。そこまで目を引くものは無いけど、それでも十分面白い
ロメリアがパーティーでどんな役割だったのか気になる。戦ってる場面が全然無かったし。残りの部分での行動からすると、軍師／支援役みたいなものかな。でもパーティーは隠れてたことを責めてたから、戦うことも期待されてたのか？ それとも見下す口実を探してただけで、彼女なりのやり方で助けてたことに気づいてなかったのか

Seems to have good production. Some ambitious non-action shots too and good storyboard overall. Art style is also good with a bit thick linework and well done coloring unlike your generic saturated wash up colors found in typical fantasy/isekai show. As story for it seems combination of banished party and villainess story. Nothing too eye catching but still interesting enough.
I wonder what Romelia role in the party was as they didn't show her doing any kind of combat? So I am guessing based on what she did in the rest of the show , she is kind of strategist / support role. But the party reprimanding her for hiding , so were they expecting her to fight too? or just looking for excuse to look down on her and not realizing she was helping too in her own way.

PVで部隊を指揮してたから、たぶん軍師なんだろう。王子はある程度それを評価してたかもしれないけど、他の女の子たちはしてなかった

She is probably a strategist as PVs showed her commanding a squad, but while prince probably appreciated it to some extent, the other girls did not.

元婚約者とは縁が切れてせいせいしたな。こういう状況でそれが大きな損失だったためしがない。ロメリアに中身を確かめもせずにあのリュックの中身を丸ごと報酬として持って行かせたのは失敗だった気がする
ロメリアは面白い。ああいう系統のキャラはいつでも大歓迎。ちょっと『ループ7回目』っぽい雰囲気がある
絵柄も作画も好き

Good riddance to the former fiancé, it never seems to be a big loss in these sorts of situations. I feel like they made a mistake letting Romelia take the entire contents of that backpack as a reward without verifying the contents.
Romelia is fun, you can always get me someone of her general character archetype. Has a bit of a 7th Time Loop feel to it.
I like the look of the art and the animation.

王子のせいで立たされた気まずい立場から、王様は早く抜け出したかったんだと思う。リュックの中身を確かめたらやり取りが長引くし、王子に捨てられた直後の彼女の人格を侮辱してると取られかねない。すぐに袋を持って行かせるのが、王様が思いつけた一番寛大で、面子も保てるやり方だったんだろう
大量破壊兵器でもくすねてない限り、大丈夫だと思う

It feels like the king wanted to move past what an uncomfortable position the prince put him in. Verifying the contents of the pack would have drawn out the interaction, and could be interpreted as an insult to her character after the prince dumped her. Letting her take the bag immediately was probably the most gracious and face-saving action the king could think of.
As long as she didn't loot any wmds, I think it should be okay.

＞大量破壊兵器でもくすねてない限り、大丈夫だと思う
文字通り値段のつけられない竜の石の香水みたいなやつはくすねてたけどな。商人には到底売れないって言ってたのが面白かった。価値が高すぎて、王様に献上して恩を売るくらいしか使い道が無いっていう

As long as she didn't loot any wmds, I think it should be okay.
She did loot a literally priceless Dragon Stone perfume thingie. It was interesting that she said that it can't possibly be sold by a merchant: it's so valuable that the only possible use of it is to gift it to a king so he owes you a boon.

他のメンバーが全員女性なのを考えると、勇者が彼女たちに操られてたとしても驚かない
お約束だからそうなってるだけ、ってんじゃなければね

Won't be surprised if the hero was being manipulated by the other members considering they're all women.
Unless thats just a trope for trope reasons

絵柄がすごく好き。この話は導入のつもりだったと思うから、2話連続放送にしたほうが良かった気がする。心の声が無かったから、彼女の行動を自由に解釈できるのも楽しかった
アニメがこの点を変えないといいな。解釈の余地を残したほうがずっと興味をそそる話になるし、キャラの動機や目的がわからないから緊張感も高まる
見続けるよ、がっかりさせないでほしい

I really like the art style. I think it would have benefited from having two episodes as I felt this episode was meant as a set up. I also enjoyed the fact that we're free to interpret her actions as we like seeing as we didn't get any inner monologues.
Hoping the Anime won't change this aspect. I think leaving stuff open to interpretation makes up for a much more intriguing story, and also elevates tension as we don't know the motives or the goals of characters.
I'm sticking with it, hope it doesn't disappoint.

そう、終わる頃には2話連続の初回だったらいいのにって本気で思ってた。ロメリアが実際どんな人なのか、もう少し手がかりが欲しかったから。この先の雰囲気がどんな感じか見たくて、飛ばしたOPまでわざわざ戻って見たよ

Yes, I was really hoping it might be a two episode premiere by the time it finished because I wanted a bit more indication of who Romelia actually is. Even went back and watched the OP that I'd skipped to have a look at what the future flavor would be like.

＞ロメリアが実際どんな人なのか、もう少し手がかりが欲しかった
だよな、昔なら捨てられる側は実は聖女で、たぶん最強でもあるってお約束が最初からわかってた。でも今は、実は復讐に燃える令嬢タイプで、これから死体の数がどんどん増えていくって可能性も常にある

a bit more indication of who Romelia actually is
Yeah, it used to be that you already knew the reject was a secret saint, and probably OP too. But now, there's always a chance she's actually a Livid Lady, and the body count is about to pick up the pace.

ロメリアは何を調べてたんだ？ 明らかに誰も知らないことを知ってる。それと竜の香以外に、王様との謁見のときのリュックには何が入ってたんだろう？
表向きは確かに追放もの＋悪役令嬢ものっぽいけど、何か別のことが起きてるヒントが少なくともある。彼女は賢いだけで最強じゃないし、王子の婚約者だってこと以外に勇者の一行にいた理由がわからない。でもそれだけじゃ冒険に送り出す理由としては筋が通らない
何も無いかもしれないし、すごく良いかもしれない。いくつか疑問に答えが出るまではなんとも言えない

What was Romelia researching? She clearly knows something no one else does. Also besides the dragonspite incense what was in her backpack from the meeting with the King?
On the surface it certainly feels like a Kicked from the Party + Villainess story, but there are at least hints there's something else going on. She's only smart not OP, and we do not know why she was in the hero's party besides being betrothed to the Prince but that doesn't make sense as an excuse to send her on the adventure.
Might be nothing, might be really good. Hard to know until some questions get answered.

予備知識なしで見たから、このジャンルのお約束以上のことは何も予想してなかった。そしたらそのどれも起きなかった。バランスの取れた、まともなキャラ？ 王子とわだかまり無し？ 自分なりの悩みを抱えた母親？ 見事な脚本？
前期におバカな量産アニメばかり見てたあとだから新鮮だった。おバカな量産アニメも大好きなんだけどね。初回10点満点

I went into this show blind, so I had no idea what to expect beyond the usual tropes of the genre. Then none of them happened. Well-rounded, reasonable characters? No hard feelings with the prince? A mother who has her own worries? Excellent writing?
This was refreshing after all the goofy slop I watched last season, and I love my goofy slop. 10/10 first episode

妙な話だけど、まさにこのジャンルのお約束そのもので、同じステレオタイプの寄せ集めなんだよ。ただこの回は、いつもの大げさな騒ぎ立てをしたり、わかりきったことを強調しすぎたりしないことで、それを全部うまく噛み合わせてた
賢いキャラはわかりきったことは素直に受け入れるし、バカなキャラは過剰な演技なしにそこそこバカでいられる
かなり楽しめた！

In a curious way it is exactly the usual tropes of the genre, with the same bunch of stereotypes, however this episode made them all work together well by not making the usual song and dance about things and overemphasizing the obvious.
Instead, the intelligent characters tend to generally accept things when they are patently obvious, and the idiot ones are allowed to be idiot-ish without overly hamming it up.
I quite enjoyed it!

そう、お約束は出てきても出発点にすぎないんだ。

Yeah, like when they're present, it's a starting point and that's it.

同意。前期は久しぶりに、シーズンが終わる頃に気になる作品がひとつも無いクールだった。これは新鮮な発見だし、この初回に見合う作品になるといいな

Agreed. Last season was the first in a long time that I had zero shows that I cared about at the end of the season. This is a refreshing discovery and I hope it lives up to this first episode.

『Kaiju Girl Caramelise』も『スーパーの裏でヤニ吸うふたり』も無し？？？ でも言いたいことはわかる。量産型が多かったから、名作がいつもより埋もれ気味だったよな

Not even Kaiju Girl Caramelise or Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You??? But I get you. There was a lot of slop, so the gems seemed a little more hidden than usual.

今は話の大部分が伏せられてるみたいで判断しづらい。勇者の一行の中でロメリアが何もしなかったのは最近のことなのか、それとも昔からああだったのか？ 今は何を望んでて、それはなぜなのか？ 美術の方向性と、キャラデザがバラエティに富んでるところ、それに今のところキャラがありきたりの反応以上のものを抱えてる感じがするのは良かった。ロメリアが本当に貢献してなかったなら勇者の一行が追い出すのは当然だし、追い出し方もそこまでひどくなかった。母親はヒステリックだったけど、両親の反応はどちらも筋が通ってる。どこに向かうかわからないけど、雰囲気には引き込まれる

This one's hard to judge because it seems like so much of the story is being withheld right now. Was Romelia's inaction with the hero's party a recent thing or was she always like that? What does she want now and why? I will say I did like the art direction, the varied character designs and how so far it the characters feel like they have stuff going on besides generic stock reactions. If Romelia really wasn't contributing then the hero's party would kick her out and they seem to not be total dicks about it. Her parents both have reasonable reactions to it even if her mother's hysterical. Not sure where this goes but the tone's intriguing.

主人公の心の声が視聴者に明かされないのは、明らかに「語らずに見せる」やり方で話を組み立てるための選択だと思う
これを見る前に、真逆のやり方を大声でやってた『Secret Saint』を5分くらいで切ったから、余計にすごく新鮮

The MC has no inner monologue that is revealed to the audience, which definitely seems like a choice to build the story in a "show, don't tell" kind of way.
Its super refreshing considering I picked this up after dropping "Secret Saint" like 5 minutes in for very loudly taking the exact opposite approach.

今日の新作の中では今のところ一番良かった回
冒頭の戦闘シーンはすごくよく動いてたし、女主人公は有能だし（そのうち「完璧すぎ」に陥るかもしれないけど）、父親との関係も見ていて良かった

Best episode from the new stuff yet from today.
The whole fight scene at the beginning was very well animated, the female MC is competent (although could fall into ''too perfect'' at some point), her relationship with her dad was nice to see.

実は母親のキャラが一番印象に残った。ずっと夫の隣に座ってるだけの添え物じゃなくて、彼女なりの事情を抱えてた

I was actually most impressed by the character of her mom. She wasn't just an accessory to her husband sitting next to him the whole time, but had her own thing going on

戦争があってほしい。ロメリアが軍をおこすとか。ファンタジー版のぎんえいでんみたいな。

I hope it has war, romelia raising an army. Something like fantasy LOGH.

ロメリアは、自分が移り住む地域に魔王軍が攻めてくるのを見越してるんだと思う。王子にも、魔王が死んでもその軍勢は残ってるって警告してたし。で、父親から好きにしていいって許しをもらったから、本当に軍を興すんじゃないかな

My guess is that Romelia is anticipating an incursion from the demon forces into the region she's moving to. She warned the Prince for example as well that even of the Demon King is dead, his forces still remain. And now that she's gotten permission from her dad to do whatever the hell she pleases my guess is that she's indeed going to raise an army

＞ファンタジー版の銀英伝みたいな感じ
あなたのコメントを読んで、それがきっかけでこの回を見ることにした
言いたいことがよくわかったし、かなり期待してる。少なくとも主人公は銀英伝みたいになれるくらい賢くて有能だし、この回の出来事の扱い方からも良い雰囲気が出てる。説明しすぎず、彼女が物事を動かして、必要な通りに事が運んでいく感じは確かにラインハルトを思い出す
あとはその期待に応えてくれて、新しい「人類最古の友を見捨てられようか」みたいなものが見られるといいな
あー、銀英伝見直したくなってきた

Something like fantasy LOGH.
I read your comment and decided to watch the episode because of it
Now I can totally see where you are coming from and I am pretty hopefull for it. At least the MC is smart and competent enough for it to be a LoGH situation and with how they handled the happenings of this episode gives off a good vibe. No over explaining, just her setting things in motion and stuff happening like she needs to certainly reminds me of Reinhard
Now I am just hoping it will kind of live up to that expectation and that we will see a new "How could I abandon humanities oldest friend?" kinda thing
Man I really want to rewatch LoGH now

ロメリアには身体能力や魔力を強化する力があるんだと思ってたけど、今はちょっと自信が無い。明らかにすごく頭が切れて機転も利くから、カシューで何をするのか楽しみ。『戦記』ってことは、たぶん軍に入るんだろうな
母親が面子を潰されたことに反応して、全部自分の話にしてたのを見たあとだから、父親が明らかに彼女を愛してるのがわかって嬉しかった。父親はけがは無いかと尋ねて、出て行きたいと聞いてたじろいで、旅の途中でけがをしないことだけを願ってた。出発前に家族の暮らしが成り立つようにしてあげてたのは優しいけど、全体として父親にはちょっとほろ苦い感じがする
彼女がいたパーティーの話はあまり出てこないのかな。彼女の物語にとってそこまで重要になるのかはわからない。よくある「勇者パーティーを追放された」ものとは違う感じがする

I thought Romelia had the power to amplify physical and magical prowess, but I'm a little unsure now. Clearly she's very clever and has sharp wit so I'm curious to see what she'll be doing in Cashu. "War Chronicle" likely means she'll be joining the military.

I am glad to see that her father clearly loves her after seeing how her mother reacted about losing face, making it all about her. The father asked about if she was hurt, flinched upon hearing that she wanted to leave, and just wish she wouldn't get hurt on her journey. It's sweet that she made sure to leave her family well off before departing, but overall it does feel a little bittersweet for the father.

I wonder if we won't be hearing much about the party she was a part of, I can't tell if they'll be that important or not for her story. This doesn't feel like the typical "Banished from the Hero's Party".

勇者はまともそうだよ。彼女は役に立ってるように見せる努力を一切しなかったから、ただ飯食らいに見える相手を彼が嫌ったのもわかる

The hero seems to be reasonable. She did not make any attempt to appear useful, so it is understandable that he disliked the apparent freeloader.

うん、少なくとも最初はちゃんと有能で勇敢な戦士として描いてたよね
だからこそ、後で女の子たちが典型的なお嬢様のいじめっ子（時代もキャラの演技も含めて）に豹変したのは、ちょっと違和感あったけどw

Yeah at least they made sure to present them first as actually very competent and brave combatants.
Though that made the later switch up of the girls to typical ojou-sama bullies (in their time and character acting) kinda jarring lol

＞『戦記』ってことは、たぶん軍に入るんだろうな
遺物のコレクションを見て、彼女は（公式かどうかは別として）記録係とか歴史家みたいなものなんじゃないかと思った。でも宣伝素材では軍装姿も出てるんだよな

"War Chronicle" likely means she'll be joining the military.
Her collection of artifacts made the think that she was (officially or not) some sort of archiver/historian. Though promo material shows her as well in military gear.

何がどうなってるのか把握するにはもう1話必要

I need another episode to figure out what is what

みんなそうだよ、みんな

We all, we all

出だしは良い。逆ハーレムみたいにならないことだけ祈ってる。カッコいい女主人公がカッコいいことをするのが見たいだけなんだ

This is off to a good start. I just hope it doesn't evolve into some reverse harem situation. I just want my badass female lead to do badass things.

いや、本人がカッコいいことをしなくてもいい
カッコいいことをする軍隊を作り上げられたら、それが一番カッコいいことだろ

Hell I dont even need her to do badass things
If she manages to setup up an army to badass things thats the most badass thing you could do

一番良かったのは心の声が無いところだと思う。何が彼女を突き動かしてるのかわからないから主人公にすごく興味をそそられるし、それでますます惹きつけられる

I think what I really liked was the lack of an inner monologue. The main character is so intriguing because you don't really know what drives her, and that just makes you more drawn to her.

面白い、この作品はいろいろと違うことをやってる。いつもの追放ものか、婚約破棄ものか、戦記ものかじゃなくて、3つ全部をやってる。追放ものの主人公が女性なのは珍しいし、チートスキル持ちのよくある男じゃなくて頭の切れる貴族だ。キャラデザはちょっとパッとしないけど、見続けるつもり

Interesting, this show is doing a lot of things differently. Instead of doing the usual kicked out of the party, breaking off an engagement, or war story, it's doing all three. It's rare to see a female protagonist for kicked out of party stories, and she's a noble with smarts instead of some usual guy with cheat skills. Character designs feel a bit uninspiring, but I'm gonna keep watching.

期待できる出だしと美術。ロメリアは戦闘能力の無い、パーティーの道具管理と交渉担当みたいだな
この手の話のお約束通り、勇者の一行は非戦闘員を評価してなかった。そもそもなんで王子はロメリアに婚約を申し込んだのか気になる。前期のエリザベスみたいな政略の話じゃなさそうだし。他の貴族が彼女がアンリ王子をたぶらかしたって責めてたから、婚約はもっと個人的なものだったんじゃないか？ 王様も若者の心は移ろいやすいって言ってたし
とにかく、ひとまず見続けると思う。ただ、前期の復讐ものの令嬢エリザベスとどうしても比べちゃうw 主にこの回のロメリアがすごく計算高かったせいだけど

Promising start and art direction. It seems Romelia is the inventory and negotiation management of the party without any combat ability.
As usual in this kind of story, the hero party didn't appreciate non-combatant. I'm curious why he asked Romeliia to be his fiance in the first place. It seems that it's not political matter like Elizabeth from last season. I mean, the other noble accused her to tempt Henri the prince so the betrothal must be something more personal? Also the King commented that young people heart is ever changing.
All in all, I think I'll continue watching for now. Though, I can't help but compare this to Livid princess Elizabeth from last season lol. That's mainly due to how calculating Romelia is from this episode.

まだどこに向かうのかはなんとも言えないけど、見続けるつもり
ロメリアのキャラが好き。かなりおおらかで落ち着いてる。商人の息子が騙そうとしてきたときでさえ、屈辱も無礼もあまり気にしてないみたいだった

It's still hard to say where this is going, but I'm going to stick around.
I like Romelia's character. She seems pretty easygoing and composed. All the humiliation and offenses didn't seem to bother her much, even when the merchant kid tried to trick her.
