It’s good enough that I’m actually looking forward to this, and was very much hoping there would be more seasons. It’s not anything groundbreaking but it tells the arknights story well, and that story is a pretty good one.

Germany is even worse and it’s not even CC companies’ fault. You can’t buy h vns on steam (or gog) in germany, with the reasoning being “the user’s age can’t be verified”. Thankfully jast works.

Which I could accept if other 18+ games, like… gta v, weren’t perfectly purchasable. I’ve kinda been thinking about complaining to the youth protection agency responsible, maybe if they also make steam ban sales of hugely profitable games they’ll care, or the legal debate about verifying age there being a privacy violation would kick off. But I also don’t want it to get worse.

Well, it is as much slice of life travel romance as it is medieval economical drama, so the story overall is relatively slow paced. The pacing usually picks up at the end of each smaller story arc though (which is mostly the end of each LN volume, which iirc the original anime covered 3.5 of in 25 episodes). Assuming similar pacing I’d guess 4-5 eps in you should know if you’re interested. The very start is imo still a bit more slow paced than the rest of it, but it’s rarely fast, with the character development happening just as slowly.
