Kinsou no Vermeil (Vermeil In Gold)
 

Kinsou no Vermeil (Vermeil In Gold) series is getting a TV anime for Summer 2022.

Synopsis

Announcement PV

While it's still early in the week, this has the most personality in the season so far. Nothing particularly outgoing in the genre but it was a very watchable first ep.

*nods enthusiastically*

But seriously, i wasn't expecting much from this one based on reading previews but Vermeil's mysterious, amusing and flirty character was what clinched this show's place on my watchlist this season, albeit possibly in the 'guilty pleasure' section.

So ummm, anyone in this not for the sexy big sis but the cute boy like me?

Vermeil feels like a predator in all definitions of the word, which fits the theme. She towers over Alto in his rooms, stalks him, and terrifies Lilia. She toys with her food (Alto) throughout the episode. They're carefully treading the line in this episode where the way she treats him definitely doesn't come off as sexual.

The backgrounds are gorgeous though. That's my favorite aspect of the series aside from Uchida Maaya.

That combination reminds me of someone else... about as curvy, but healthily tanned, grey/silver of hair, and the eldest of a sibling trio; I would be disappointed to hear that at least one outfit swap image hasn't emerged from the fanart community.

As for the metaphorical rocks and shoals Frontier makes reference to, those could arise from Vermeil's coworkers (assuming they are as cutthroat as Skaven or Terrans are oft portrayed) and/or the local counterparts to Warhammer's Inquisition (some of whom may have no regard for such concerns as 'collateral damage' or even 'innocence').

I mean, she felt him up and reached for his dick like twice :heh:.

This is terrible but I'll probably watch. :eyespin:

I think this is fine enough but I'm afraid that the white light will appear sooner or later.

Honestly, that was considerably more entertaining than one had any right to expect.

Vermeil can't help but draw attention to herself, whether it be her massive rack or her just casually flicking away a runaway dragon familiar that happens to run into her. Also I only just noticed how her dress offers some solid side-boob :D!

Subbed Opening and Ending's :cool:!

Wow, that headmasters' beard is excessive even by most mage standards. Does that go all the way to his feet? Although all the boys can't keep their eyes off Vermeil's stacked chest :heh:.

One of the instructors is voiced by Takehito Koyasu. Like, there's no way they would have Koyasu play a bit character right? He's either going to turn out to be a villain or get more involved with the plot :eyespin:.

I guess it's not that surprising that someone would take issue with Vermeil hurting their familiar like it's nothing, although I see the "Dragonriders" is kind of a nebulous description when one just summons a Tyrannosaur Familiar to bully our protagonists :rolleyes:.

Vermeil is probably used to people wanting her body, but she seemed genuinely touched that Alto defended her against Rex. Enough to inject him with his mana so he could finish him! I also like how they worked together to distract and freeze the boys. Nice teamwork ;).

I love how Lilia is all smug and "ohohoho" when she literally did nothing but just stand there :heh:.

So Alto has his sights set on becoming a Platinum Mage, the best of the best, and Vermeil is happy that he has such lofty aims! Which means more mana, which means getting physical, which means Vermeil stripping. Also I think this confirms Vermeil goes commando :innocent:.

Vermeil kept Alto up all night...probably not what we're thinking, but whoo boy :naughty:.

We meet Marx, a high-energy and low on sense noble boy who is Alto's self-proclaimed rival but seems like a fairly nice and respectful kid, as well as his stoic maid Cheryl who is cute and seems more than frustrated with her masters' antics :uhoh:.

Can't say I'm surprised this school would make a competition out of gaining the class rep position. Although Marx summoning a beetle named Francoise and immediately getting disqualified was hilarious (I wonder what Cheryl's familiar is though) :p.

The moment Lilia took out the invisibility potion, I knew it would only extend to her body and not her clothes. So we get treated to Lilia stripping (nice checkered undies) and being buck-naked for the rest of the episode, which was great. And of course her original plan for said potion was to sneak into Alto's room like the horny girl she is :naughty:.

Vermeil with the spectacular finish against Cerberus! Although the real winner is Cheryl because, surprise surprise, Lilia's invisibility fades at the exact right moment she's right in front of Alto and she's undone by her own nakedness. Good for Cheryl though :smile:.

AnimeCentral's taste is kind of suspect at times but for me so far Vermeil and Lycoris Recoil are the most intriguing new series this season. I didn't realize the source was a manga, I'm tempted to read ahead... I'll see I suppose.

If they keep it like this without white light I'll be happy.

I love that lilia is a huge pervert.

Yup, the first episode actually impressed me a lot so I got all the manga currently out. This is squarely in my top watches of the season, with Vermeil being my favorite heroine of the season even before I read the manga. I don’t know where they’ll leave off, but I know I’ll enjoy the ride.

Lilia was way more attractive when she let her hair down (that and being nude didn't hurt either lol). It'd be nice if she lost those ribbons permanently.

I didn't expect "Tabitha" (works for me, can't remember her name anyway heh) to win, but I knew it wouldn't be the MC. MC is almost never student council president.
