MAL entry, Anilist. The zeroth episode is a spin-off-ish, focusing on Sylphy after the Calamity meeting with Ariel, becoming "silent Fitz", and struggling with her new situation; as well as the power struggles between Ariel and her brother I-always-forget-his-name for the Asuran throne.

Do we have spoiler tags in Lemmy?

Well, I may be misremembering the first season or something but why her hair changed colour?

We do. For example, if you write

Aa! Megamisama spoilerBelldandy lies, /a/ dies.

you end with

Aa! Megamisama spoilerBelldandy lies, /a/ dies.

Well, I may be misremembering the first season or something but why her hair changed colour?

Mana exhaustion. She used a lot of mana when trying to cushion down her own fall.

Seemed like they went all in to strike controversy before getting into the story which was a bit of an eye roll. I liked the fight scene. If they they do more around the actual magic and practice of magic with protecting the princess it might be a good season.

Definitely a good first episode to bring us back into the world. The scene with the princess being aggressive with Sylphy seemed unnecessary though.

Maybe I’m missing something but why is she wearing glasses and have her hair change to white?

[–] lvxferre@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

The glasses are like Altair said, to make sex id harder.

The anime doesn't mention address it, but the white hair is due to mana exhaustion. Basically she force consumed so much mana, trying to cushion herself against the fall, that it took a toll on her body.

Great episode, I really liked getting to see what Sylphy was up to. Is it explained why Sylphy has those glasses, though? Ariel just kinda handed them to her and I was just sorta taken out of it, they feel too much like pit vipers for me to really like, feel like they fit in the setting lol

The heavily sexual stuff Ariel and Luke talked about in the intro... they're definitely quite perverted lol

LN Meta spoilersThey seemed to skip a bunch of scenes from the LN though... Derek's death didn't even hit in this episode, and Sylphie's pledge to Ariel was barely built up...

LN Meta, perversion

I think that they tried to cram a bit too much content into this episode, and as a result a lot of things ended rushed.

Another thing that they cut out is that Ariel is a maso. The bed scene with Sylphie was supposed to awaken her masochism. Still - I love that they set up the dynamic for Sylphy to be the straight woman among two perverts.
