What a fun episode! We get to see more of their world and some new faces. I'm really liking Myne's little antics and how dedicated she is to creating and learning. Otto is such a cool character and I hope we get to see more of him. Pacing is slow, but in a good, slice-of-life way

It is very funny to me how the anime portrayed Myne past self as this educated young girl, but she seemed like an insensitive girl who doesn't understand poverty and namecall other as primitive. And as my statement from last episode, she DOES have to actively recall her memory!

I really like the world construction, a bit of explanation of they day to day, what the family do, and new characters, etc, but the protagonist, I know what she really want, but it's like she has not accepted this new world, maybe is the way of expressing herself

Okay now thats a good characters introduction, it does not slap you with a question in mind "who was that?" And again pace is great showing their daily lives and with great world building scenes and dialogues. Animation is beautiful with the sceneries and nature. Great episode.

This episode introduced several new characters and built on the contrast between Motose's life and Mains'. Hoping they lean more into that tbh, since it is quite the meaningful comparison. Maybe Motose's experience could be compared to living in a more primitive world.

For the most part, Myne feels more like a genius child than a reincarnated adult.. I hope they do not brush over her past life that much, and maybe even show pieces of it. Especially since her past life's knowledge is pertinent to the plot.

This episode focuses a little more on Myne's everyday life for the first part, and kept a really mellow, slow-paced atmosphere. The plot is really easy to follow and entertaining enough, with characters that are unique but their personality doesn't become the story.
