Alderamin 2: Better episode overall. I like Itka quite a bit; he fits the role of the badass MC with a troubled past. Also, their reward of being a part of the army without any say doesn't seem like a reward at all. Princess is also so annoying and useless. A lot of story building took place and I'm kind of interested to see how this progresses. Other characters need some serious development, though.
Oh, and what's the deal with the Nisekoi manga? Is it trending on my Twitter feed because it's been going for 5 years or because it's actually good?
