    This looks like it’s building on top of tropes I hate to make a story I could genuinely enjoy. It’s so frustrating to see a story go “don’t bully the weak… because what if they’re actually strong??” and I’m hopeful that this time we’ll see more of a meaningful story about the weak learning to look out for each other and compassion winning out instead of force.

    There are some choices in the story so far that baffle and frustrate me, like the past life’s voice being absent but Ivy echoing her questions every time for our benefit, or like Ivy constantly taking her bags off and putting them back on, but overall I enjoyed the episode a lot. I give the premiere a 4/5.

      This is a tiny bit of spoilers but I’ll mention it because it might help you to decide between picking this series up or not: as of ch20 of the manga, she gets more skilful and confident but she’s still extremely weak and needs to be protected.

      On echoing the questions and putting bags on/off: full agree, the anime handled it really poor.
