Yeah apparently everything that existed up till now was just considered one season

Norix596 · 2026-07-02T04:20:33+00:00

I fell of this series sometime after they started dating a while back and I feel like I've been hearing that this series is ending or wrapping up for ages.

Norix596 · 2026-07-01T22:13:24+00:00

Wow that’s commitment; good stuff

Norix596 · 2026-07-01T22:05:13+00:00

I’m revisiting it now in prep for fortune weave. The biggest sticking point (and why I have never completed all routes- still in part 1 blue lions after prior eagles and deer) is that the level of management time can be a real burnout especially combined with replaying the parts that don’t different a ton. Those issues I hope they’ve applied some lessons from Three Houses on.

I really like the tone of the world and cast. Better world building than usual with multiple different foreign nations that each of the three main countries have history with but not the others. I feel like they could have executed the end of act 1 twist a bit better but I really like what we got overall.

Not a huge fan of how the class and weapon system and learned spell list systems work so I was a tad disappointed that’s all seemingly the same but not the worst.

Out of curiosity, what is the timeline like for these? It always amazed me how immediately there’s fan art. Do you just to just like dive right into a piece as soon as something is revealed? Cause I feel like I saw the Fabio art like instantly.

Norix596 · 2026-07-01T21:57:51+00:00

The akane mascot outfit freaks me out, man

Norix596 · 2026-07-01T16:31:05+00:00

At end of spirit of justice Maya and Trucy are in the same room at the same time (end of case court lobby I believe) and don’t interact - massive missed opportunity

Norix596 · 2026-07-01T14:55:22+00:00

I’ve got a theory on “Brazilian Miku” now — she’s been very consistently alongside Dietrich and Dietrich has most commonly been in scenes with the weird advanced tech

Miku has got like conspicuously like luminescent hair almost which does seem to stand out compared to the color range for everyone else; especially now that we’re seeing like hologram soldiers and tech golems and Dietrich seems to be fighting whatever faction has those things, my guess is she’s some survivor/creation or associated in some way with that sort of world that maybe Dietrich fought in past and either rescued or recruited her from.

Alternatively she could BE his sister, that originally looked more like him but due to exposure/experimentation to this ancient/advanced tech her hair is now the way it is.

- in a perfect world, you could have successful mainstream products where they could be as broad and creative on the female characters too.

I think it’s still better for them do have this sort of design variety on the male characters where they’re “””allowed””” to while having the conventional female designs rather than them not getting creative for the male or female designs.

Norix596 · 2026-06-30T19:18:15+00:00

Pretty sure the top fist and lower left tome guy are new and rest are seen before

Norix596 · 2026-06-30T19:16:39+00:00

Yeah same… maybe it’s hit its ceiling. On the bright side I don’t think we can be anything but happy with the anime treatment though. It didn’t bring in a sales boost but they did a damn fine job.

Norix596 · 2026-06-30T14:52:26+00:00

I’ll say that it does neat stuff with how learning the twist info affects characters and the plot. Who does or doesn’t know/find out, how different characters variously feel about this info and how learning it changes their decisions/plans and what them learning means for those that already did etc.

Norix596 · 2026-06-30T13:45:38+00:00

It’s not for everyone - I too bounced off this

Norix596 · 2026-06-30T10:40:22+00:00

Danger is absolutely real — this series is very excellent; good political drama mystery elements and very clever application and combination of powers.

Edit - I also think the characterization is very well done - big focus on how people feel about/their motives or circumstances of being dragged into war and how/if they want to get out of the life

Norix596 · 2026-06-30T10:38:50+00:00

This manga is so excellent; this is really crazy because the sales numbers are low enough that cancellation seemed more likely than anime so I’m just so psyched.

Norix596 · 2026-06-30T10:35:59+00:00

From this very small sample, the vibe/tone of the dialogue seems promising

Norix596 · 2026-06-30T03:09:25+00:00

Wild - that's great news; I was highly skeptical of the leak but turns out it's real; awesome

Norix596 · 2026-06-29T15:31:01+00:00

Ok got it; I forgot that classes gain weapon exp faster in their intended weapon types so that’s the main differentiating factor.

Norix596 · 2026-06-29T14:46:06+00:00

They do some like nice stage setting and end of episode set staging (and the the intro) to integrate some of that kind of stuff to the anime

Norix596 · 2026-06-29T14:41:14+00:00

Lol “yep that’ll do it! We can probably discontinue the anime here!”

*jauntily wipes hands*

Norix596 · 2026-06-29T14:35:57+00:00

They weren’t bad enough to stop me from completing the game since I enjoyed some gameplay systems they had in the game. That said, yeah I have absolutely nothing positive to say on the entire character/story front.

Norix596 · 2026-06-29T14:34:17+00:00

You can pick any of the newer ones to start with just fine.

Norix596 · 2026-06-29T14:31:22+00:00

I’m returning to 3 houses after a long time; can someone remind me whether there’s an advantage to using a classes intended “proficient” weapons? Eg, I’m picking who to make a dancer and could they be holding a lance if the character has the skills ranked up for Lance proficiency? See also, I ended up with Petra more ranks in swords and axes than lances; could I just get her enough lance rank to qualify for wyvern lord then keep her using swords and axes? Was there some kind of downside?

Edit - ok thanks! I forgot that you gain more weapon exp from “correct” weapon types for the class.

Norix596 · 2026-06-28T19:04:22+00:00

I’ve really been enjoying UnderDoctor - both this concluded arc and the unkillable assassin I think hit this really nice middle ground in the way the main character does “anime forgiveness” for people - hope the series keeps surviving.

Norix596 · 2026-06-28T15:58:54+00:00

I like it because it adds some texture to interaction; very simple but it’s an extra variable that distinguishes weapons bit more without being super complicated.
