What happened? The 2nd season is like a different story

Someone please tell me that this will get better? What is going on with this story???

I loved the first season. Loved the connection between Alice and Iska. The Art was perfect and the story was interesting.

Saw first 4 episodes in 2nd season and I feel like this is turning into harem and the beautiful story is no longer there. Wtf, its like as if it was written by a wacky horny teen.

Im so devastated I waited so long for the 2nd season. I wanted to see Alice and Iska relationship progress and the story itself as it was so good. I so sad! How could they ruin such beautiful story! 😭😭😭

Fanfic oh boy

well, ive always loved kimisen and i thought there would be a lot more fanfiction/community created content for it, but there isnt much right now.

sooo

i decided to write my own :p i just couldnt deal with having so many ideas in my head

STORY DOES INCLUDE MINOR SPOILERS (i think)

https://www.wattpad.com/story/388869892-our-last-crusade-or-alice%27s-happy-ending

theres two chapters rn, both are rough drafts (8 now)

if you like the idea please give me some feedback, theres no point in writing something that no one reads haha

edit 1: 3 chapters now, enjoy ig!! (THIS IS AN ONGOING WORK, i am also planning on publishing on some other webstes too :p)

edit 2: 4th chapter is out, and by the time anyone is reading this chapter 5 should also be. (i am on a roll 😎) it did come at the cost of me writing pretty quickly, so i didn't have any time to check either over yet- so sorry if its even more unpolished than the first 3 haha. im working on a finalized version of the first chapter, but ill think ill write out the story a little more before i publish that.

edit 3: yeah so chapter 6 is out enjoy if u like it, but yeah like the author note says at the end its cooked never let me write again😭😭🙏🙏🙏

edit 4: sorry i was pressed for time on this one, 7 is out but basically trash cus i didnt actually have time to write a coherent chapter lol, ill make it up to you guys by fixing it tmrw and posting 2-3 new rough drafts as well trust

edit 5: chapter 8 is out, and chapter 9 is gonna be pretty long, so im holding off on releasing it as i make a couple more tweaks- enjoy! (also i decided to keep chapter 7 the way it is mostly for now, i feel like after looking back at it that it should be fine as long as its not the newest chapter lol, tell me if i should change it)

chapter 9 sneek peek

im cooked

hehe

Its kinda funny how the Queen could have had the BEST generation of her family win the war....if only she wasn't a bad mother or too influence by sovereignty traditions.

As we know, the Lou are the current ruling house of the sovereignty. And the only one bless with more than 1 candidate. Having 3 heirs.

And yet she ultimately failed hard leading to well conflict between the 3 instead of encouraging them to work together. And a whole other amount of issues.

Like she had everything and every role prepared for her daughters;

Elletear: Perfect Queen. She is literally greater than her sisters in every way except astral strength but even so in expérience she would be the idéal ruler to succeed her mother as the oldest whose talent of politics is the greater. Beside as queen she stays in the palace so she wont fight 99% of the time.

Alice: The perfect Combattant. Skilled in admistrative she is, Alice is much better on the field being well the strongest purebreed so she the most effective fighter they have. She would have being the field general to lead the war.

Sisbell: The perfect Spymaster. Sisbell information gathering abilities are insane. Wether its for sovereignty Internal politics or even gathering information on the empire nothing escape her sight. And she can do it on a massive scale.

So all that plus being sisters means that their bonds of familly would allow them to trust in one another among a difficult world.

....Sadly between the queen bad parental skills that aleniated her oldest and lead to prioritysing her middle child and neglecting the youngest on top of not doing anything to stop the compétition between the 3 that was tradition well... it failed hard.

Even her choosing Alice as queen is a bad move in a strategic sense as it would lock alice to remain at the palace and thus not go out on the field. She would trade her Queen on the chessboard for a king Instead. Metaporically speaking.

So the awful customs of the sovereignty plus parental skills more or less cost the Lou the chance to win the war and all the drama too.

Fitting that the largest family and head one are the most divided. All that preaching of unity didn't really mean much in practice.

Small question. Why was this panel invert colored?

From chapter 20

Just asking why the décision to invert it was made.

Atmosphere? Inner thoughts? Danger?

Just wondering why this panel was colored inverted and to what extend was the author process.

Also poor Iska.

Seriously it is such a laughingstock (Rant incoming)

First they greenlit the sequel on 2021, and they are scheduled to release the anime on 2023, which means they have two years to produce it. After two years finally we reached 2023, then they announced to delay the anime WITHOUT ANY REASON until 2024 (Could be improving the animation or need more time to complete the anime who knows, but its okay). After one year we have finally reached 2024, we started seeing that there is poor animation STARTING ON SECOND EPISODE ONWARDS, I REPEAT SECOND EPISODE, and lastly the animation studio decided to postpone indefinitely IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE QUALITY.

So are they trying to say that they doesn't or haven't maintain the quality at all on those past years? If not then what the f*ck are they doing throughout the past years? Are they even serious about their work? Imagine the second episode has already a low quality of animation after years of production.

If after a few years of production (Plus an extra year) still leads to low quality animation and as a result the anime delayed again, it means that those animators and directors are really incapable AF.

Depending on how busy SILVER LINK is, the reproduction of Season 2 might take a good while longer

Guys, I am sorry to say this but I think we will have to wait quite a while for Season 2 to be redone. And it might just have to do with SILVER LINK.

Their current priority is probably Yozakura family Season 2. And depeding on when Worlds finest Assassin returns, that might also put a dent in our show. I do not know what else they have planned , but there is also an original work coming out this year from them.

Oh joy. Like yes, there is studio pallette who is producing it with them. But if the important staff members are not available then they are not available.

But rest assured that KimiSen will come back. It might just have to wait another year. I really hope we get some info in the next few months. This situation sucks. But maybe they could start reproduction when their current priorities are settled.

Nothing to do but wait. I thankfully still have my books. Maybe I should read a bit after I finish Rhapsody.

Anime and LN Question

Started watching season 1. Wanted to know from which volume to start reading the LN after finishing the season.

Also, it seems the LN’s are still ongoing but wanted to ask if it seems as if it is nearing the endgame or if there is still a lot of story to tell.
