Episode 2 Thoughts: 😂✨ This anime is so fluffy and comedic, but if you actually pay attention to the scenes and the lines being thrown around, there's a surprisingly sad layer underneath all the cuteness. The “torture” the Princess goes through is basically everything she has been deprived of the simple things she never had the freedom to fully enjoy. As a Princess, she carries so much responsibility and has spent her life suppressing her own wants just to become the role model her kingdom and the crown expect her to be. And honestly… that's kinda sad. 🥹 I'm now looking forward to the next episodes, not just to see what happens to the Princess, but to uncover more about the other characters too. Like the Excalibur! 😂 It feels like he may have watched his partner surrender to the “tortures,” but somehow, he seems genuinely happy seeing sides of the Princess that he rarely or perhaps never gets to see. There's definitely more to these characters than the comedy lets on. Also, can we talk about the ASMR?! 😂 The food sounds are dangerously effective. And somehow this anime managed to give us cute gore torture with Gorilla snacks and a bloody chocolate execution. 😭🍫 Whoever came up with this concept was definitely cooking… literally. 😂 Episode 2: Princess — 0 | Food — 2 🤣🍴
A sentient sword full of personality was not on my bingo card, but I love it! I can totally resonate with Krall, I could never deny anything to a cute bear cub. All the creative ways they find to "torture" the princess are pure gold! The princess is hilariously unreliable!
I love that they did not stick to one person for all the kinds of tourture the princess will experience giving different dynamics to make everything fresh. The relatability of the princess as child is the strength of the feel good atmosphere.Ex's tsukkomi are on point yet again.
