You know what? For all its messiness and faults (and there's LOTS of them), I'll commend the series for committing to supporting LGBTQIA+ and non-traditional relationships till the end.

It's a short scene but a highly effective one. Unless there's some kind of magical plot device that pauses what happens on Earth, isekai stories SHOULD explore how the world continues after the characters have been summoned. It makes the storytelling more layered.

I feared they were going to force the whole reconciliation after her husband cheated on her, but I'm glad the anime committed to the fact she's been betrayed and no matter what grand gestures he makes, it's not enough to change reality that he broke their vows

Here's my contribution to the discourse of "women also like shows where it's just the men who's beautiful but the girls are plain." You can bet your ass a lady knight in a girl-centric anime will either be Hot, Beautiful, or Cute. We want EVERYONE beautiful in some shape or form!

Male lead so pathetically in love that he gets angry at his men for hooting about what a catch he got. Also look at that ridiculously chibi face.

Okay they COOKED using the classic "kabedon" trope in anime to discuss an actual segregation wall and how it's separated beastpeople from humans and boxed them in dangerously. Bravo, With You Our Love Will Make It Through, bravo

Okay seeing Saran again hurts me b/c I genuinely do feel like it's a bit of a lost opportunity to see these two really working back-to-back. I get that he's the inciting incident for Akira's plot to kick off but still T.T

For everyone who complains about heroes letting villains finish their monologues - stop your complaints because Scarlet El Vandimion has not let a single antagonist put in two sentences before she starts throwing hands (or statues or spears or whatever else is available)
