Episode 1
You can't hear a toast, in a manga... God damn, the sound effects
Honestly I didn't have high expectations for this when watched the PV, but episode 1 was a delight to watch. Looking forward to the rest of the show

This show feels like a mix of Sleepy Princess and <insert popular food manga>. I was not expecting Hime (I don't know if she doesn't have a name or if it's literally her name) to be such a pushover. She gave in so damn fast The sword providing the tsukkomi is a good move. And I can't help but wonder why she can't just grab it and escape. It wouldn't surprise me if they revealed at the end of the series that she could have escaped at any time but decided to stay for the delicious food. The post credit scene replaying the opening battle but with Hime's thoughts was brilliant. She was never admirable Anyway, this was super fun. Might actually be my favorite premiere this season. I couldn't quite place her voice and then I looked her up... duh! It's Asirpa-chan! I should have been able to tell.

She managed a remarkable impression of Miyamoto Yume to cover for her when she was ill in Witch from Mercury. She's frequently cast more than once in games so they can have her play two wildly different roles Even when I know it is her, I'm hard-pressed to recognize her. |

To be honest I probably would have preferred to see a show with her just traveling around being a warrior princess. Seems like that would have been pretty fun.
At least I can like this Princess more than the one from the sleepy princess series. It's not by much to be fair. But she was at least helpful to her own side while she was there. The opening scene was pretty fun at least. Though maybe she's actually worse. Since that Princess was so selfish she was more problems for her captors than anything else. So while she didn't seem to care about her people...she was at least troubling their enemies. This Princess is more of a useful person which means she actually has valuable information and can doom her people far more effectively. I feel like the comedy loses a bit of zip since she's actually giving up useful intel...in the first episode...several times. I guess they'll try to save themselves with excuses for how her intel isn't causing massive casualties. Not that the Princess herself knows that. For all she knows the corpses are piling up as she speaks...and eats. That being said, comedy is comedy. But not really getting any laughs out of this one so I'll probably just pass.

Then the secret weapon was something the Demon Lord was too afraid to even go after to use by their side, but it also didn't seem like the Empire had been intending to use it much either. I'm guessing from these lines and the OP that Demon Lord isn't actually all that interested in continuing this war. |

That monster really knows how to cook

Different kind of "torture" this week. Still funny. The demons are really damn nice. And it turns that in addition to her sword, Hime also has her cellphone with her but hasn't thought of calling for help
My favorite joke was at the end, where she revealed the Queen's shoe size. Tortura then stated she'll be back if the intel turns out to be useless and Ex just went "Yup, she'll be back"

I guess the princess is largely providing them useless details. The demon lord finds the actually useful ones inconvenient and dismisses them.
That said, she's still steadily getting brainwashed. Or maybe deprogrammed by the demons who are generally pretty nice? |

A light-hearted show. Unfortunately, the humour is not strong enough for me to keep on my "now" watchlist. A show I would normally be ok to watch, but I have too many shows this season and a large backlog, so this also goes into the backlog for now.

Honestly, the Demon King's responses are pretty funny too right along the princess's weak will. A giant, hideous monster with fangs and a third eye, that never shows anything but a sneer, declaring "I'm too scared to use a weapon like that" or "I can't skip out on my cram school" is rather hilarious in itself.
