@Galavant also depends if they do it properly, like, Log Horizon did that, kept the same op for both seasons, and while for the 1st one was amazing, the visuals didn't fit that well s2
@@HaxeRain That's because the studio who animated S1 went bankrupt leaving studio deen to do S2. And Studio deen were lazy with everything. This is why I'm worried for S3 since they'll also be animating it
And now Mary likes Katarina, and like in the extra chapter Mary Hunt is like trying to make sure that he doesn't realize anything during his piano scene lol.
Ugh another Isekai? Ugh another harem? Wait the protagonist actually sounds interesting. Wait the premise actually sounds interesting? I’m going to have to check this one out actually! (Fingers crossed its not bad, I’m difficult to please, especially with anime...)
@@gabee1500 Well, the otome isekai fad is kind of saturated in the LN scene, and the anime scene is just starting to pick it up. It would be nice to see "Accomplishments" be adapted.
The fact that this girl is quite literally four parallel universes ahead of everyone and is thus preparing for the inevitable s**tstorm that is going to be magic high school makes this kind of interesting.
Did you notice? Katarina dances with Gerald, only for Keith to drag her away. Fooling around throws her straight into competing with Alan, which Mary does her best to draw attention away from. In comes Nicol with his good looks and delivers a charmed Katarina to his beloved sister, only for Maria to bring in the snacks and completely steal Katarina's attention from the others. That is both subtle and very well thought out.
Another nice detail is that she's carrying Keith on her back as kids, but when it cuts to them as adults it's reversed and now Keith is carrying her, showing how he grew more dependable over time as a result of her influence.
What I love about this anime is that the “harem” is just natural, katarina helped everyone ever since she was a child, it isn’t just like the other harems were the girls/boys just come to the protagonists arms. (looking at you sao)
Catarina so desperately wanted to avoid her doom flags that she juat turned into the absolute best friend anyone could ever have. In turn everyone just fell in love with her probably cause its an otome game
@@SleightCreative looking at her past she is actually that kind. not juts for the sake of avoiding death flags she have been acting naturally from the start and that made her character 100 times better
Katarina probably: Huh? What harem? Oh, and doesn't my brother and Maria look cute together? Also also, Mary and Alan are so perfect! I wonder who Nicol likes? Sophia gave me this book abo-

Speaking of harem anime, watch my bride is a mermaid (seto no hanayome) legit the funniest anime I've seen in my life. Every episode I've watched this far I've died laughing.
Catarina is the ultimate harem protagonist. She not only gets all the Guys to fall for her, but gets all the girls to turn Lesbian for her too. And in true Harem fashion, she has NO CLUE any of them like her. Though I forgive her for that since shes so obsessed with trying to avoid any death flags that she doesn't realize shes already negated them. The anime is Hilarious and has made me laugh out loud so many times. Definitely one of the best anime of the first half of the year. =^w^=
Well and also this is no longer a game - this is her new life. Games can only go so far - she doesn’t realize she can and has made her own choices and that not only changed her friends but her family and how people see her A pebble can create the biggest of avalanches
She's been pretty clueless, but to be fair, she still sees herself as the player character in a video game. I get the feeling she doesn't even really see these characters as people, but just npc's. I'm wondering when the moment will hit her that these are in fact people.
@Eternal Serenity well, seeing as they were originally interested in the guys, but she altered everything and made them fall for her with no interest in guys, I'd say turned is appropriate.
@@patricksmith7649 Only when they irritate me, which isn't often. Some of the Naruto ones I found downright obnoxious while others I would look forward to seeing all the time.
@@Kat-xy7fm i read somewhere(forgot source code) that they literally make all male and female faces the same so the studio can "mass produce" the animation
Honestly, Catarina has a massive advantage going for her in preventing her doom. She knows what is coming, and is actually being nice instead of evil. She's already on a much different path than what the game originally was gonna do to her, and I believe she's much safer just with those two factors alone.
Well, I love that, Always the isekai's heroes forget their knowledge of when they lived in the human world (normal life) or simply do not use them... JUST WHY? TnT also Myne from Honzuki no gekokujou is reli smart too, using her knowledge to climb (°^°) /
So Aachan died then and came back as Sophia cause it was weird that Katarina knew who she was but Sophia never acted like Aachan even after saving Katarina
@@Catemis It's heavily implied that Atsuko is normally dormant in Sophia's mind; Sophia only experiences Atsuko's memories in the form of cryptic dreams that she soon forgets after waking.
This show is about a girl who knew the fates of everyone in her life and turns them on their head, inadvertently making her attractive to them. I mean, if someone makes your life 200% better, how can you not?
True. That said though, I do think her friends genuinely love her for who she is. Helping them, however greatly, as children doesn't mean they have to stick around her for eight years and counting
@@Smartz118 The prince propsed the engagement himself and refused to annul it, so him staying is definitely voluntary. And the others, asids from Keith, absolutely don't have to stay around her because of their nobility, you can see that clearly in the "canon" game route
0:55 is objectively the best part of the OP. The cool transition from Mary to Nicol. The adorableness of it all. The song going perfectly with it. *chef's kiss*
I think this is the first time (edit: Nope, it's the second. I had the same reaction to Tohru from Fruits Basket) I've watched a harem and went "Oh, I get it." I can see why everyone loves the protagonist and honestly, I love her too. Katerina is wonderful. It's also really nice to see a bisexual harem
I think my favourite little detail in the opening is that at the beginning, when Katarina's harem members are shown for the first time, everyone is either on the left or right side of the screen, except Maria who is in the centre and main protagonist in the original game while others are side characters.
this is how i tried to explain this anime plot to my mom: imagine that one day you die in an accident and the next thing you know is that you are one of cinderellas stepsisters
Technically yes and no because spoilers One girl did say that say the she love Bakarina but Bakarina doesn’t want one and is to dense to see it forming a harem.
The black hole harem MC is not uncommon in anime, but what's uncommon is that the same MC is highly likeable to pull that off and that the same likeability is the point of the character.
1:26 First time watching op without reading synopsis : Ah that must be her and the couples in the show Second time watching op : Ah right, that is in fact her harem
That transition between characters with skips to their future selves was nice, but my favorite part just has to be the beach where her an Aachan are holding hands
The best part I think about this show is that Katarina's Harem is, to me at least, actually plausible. Nobody in the harem is toxic or annoying to their love interest and they're all friends despite their competition, while Katarina herself is so innocent and relentlessly kind to everybody that the fact that everybody she meets falls for her makes sense. I would definitely want a girlfriend as kind as Katarina is, even if she was as screwy in the head as Katarina is (she's incredibly dense, which is the only way she doesn't realize everybody is in love with her).
the first few eps were my fav, they were just too wholesome. i want a extra season telling the extra 7 years catarina went through before enrolling in the academy
Watching this anime is so wholesome and feel good but at the same time also makes me feel kind of sad. Makes me wish I could just hit the reset button on my own life and be more friendly, outgoing and supportive to others during my childhood. I’d probably be living a much better life if I did.
There aren't a lot of reverse harems out there. The ones we do have are usually based off otome games so the female mc tends to be flat with no personality, and the guys stick to there stereotype. Whereas harems with a male mc tend to have a lot fanservice.
To me it really depends im not big on the genre but when I find instersting Female MCs like Haruhi from Ouran Or Katarina in this so can be done well but it really dose depend
For everyone who loved this anime, I strongly suggest reading the webcomic or novel Inso’s law! A girl suddenly ends up in a webnovel she read as the protag best friend. I read the comic version and it had me struggling to not laugh in public, the art is awesome and dynamic well written as a harem (with guys and a girl!! Healthy relationship dynamics!!) I love it and cant wait for the next update
honestly who in their right mind would cast off this anime and ik what ya mean about watching it straight away as i checked what time the next episode came out and planned what i was gonna do during the day around that time
Bro it was so fluid I forgot I was watching just the op and was waiting for the anime to start and was so confused when it started looping and links to crunchyroll started showing up
This song’s melody fits with the type of show it is, a sort of princess-y sort of melody like what you would hear from a princess show from disney of some sort.
The cutscenes in the animation combined with the song reminds me of something nostalgic but I just can't put my name on it.... Especially at 1:05. Is there another anime opening/ending that did something similar?
I still haven't seen anyone say this so I am gonna point it out... the first thing that came to mind when seeing the protagonist for the first time in a thumbnail was : "this is like an anime version of mabel from reverse falls"
Try asmik ace's channel. They uploaded the opening and ending a week ago before crunchyroll. Moreover, the artist of the song, Angela. Hope this helps.
Love this singer. The second I heard this OP I was like "I swear Ive heard this singer before" and then when it went to the holy singing I was like *Click fingers* Aho Girl!!!!
When Spider desu ga comes out in anime, you will be seeing more of that type of gag lol. For some reason, silly female protags like having a council comprised of themselves in isekai.
Translation of the Lyrics: I am ambiguous If you mix it round and round It may looks like a rapid change That I admire If you're in love, it's a superb dessert Forgive me for preferring sweet and sour Lovely turning around A bit more than my imagination, go straight ahead A maiden's route is not the only one Let's say hello to a lucky dream that makes me wake up I'm always positive Running around as usual Increasing my popularity Be pure, correct and beautiful It is well said Say hello to a happy future that's waiting for me for sure I'm always positive
Out of curiosity, it seems that there are several musical references, I think one is classical at 0:40 (Mozart I think?), and the other seems to be from Bohemian Rhapsody at 1:05, anyone know if that’s correct or if there are others?
Ooooh finally a comment that talks about the familiar melodies in this opening! :D I was curious for the one on 1:05 b/c I remember this was also used in Mahotsukai Precure 🤔
I love this opening; it just owns the series... it captures the romance element, but also the fun and stupidity of Katarina... it's just so well done... definitely the best opening spring 2020...
Person enter a 10 meter proximity of Katarina.
Katarina: You are already part of my Harem
Yeah I understand that XD
Excluding parents
There is a reason Catarina is The God-Empress of Harems.
You assume Katarina is smart enough to know she has a harem hahaha

The only one she doesn't get stolen from is Maria, making me hope that they end up together tbh

Oh God don’t remind me THAT, it hurts so much 😑
:(
i was really touched when i first saw that one...
Protecc
That transition between characters with skips to their future selves was nice, but my favorite part just has to be the beach where her an Aachan are holding hands
Man I love how well the animation not only transitions but also matches the lyrics, down to minute things.
The best part I think about this show is that Katarina's Harem is, to me at least, actually plausible. Nobody in the harem is toxic or annoying to their love interest and they're all friends despite their competition, while Katarina herself is so innocent and relentlessly kind to everybody that the fact that everybody she meets falls for her makes sense. I would definitely want a girlfriend as kind as Katarina is, even if she was as screwy in the head as Katarina is (she's incredibly dense, which is the only way she doesn't realize everybody is in love with her).
the first few eps were my fav, they were just too wholesome. i want a extra season telling the extra 7 years catarina went through before enrolling in the academy
same
Well, we've certainly found the best OP for the year.
It's so damn catchy lol
you can tell the animators had a freaking field day with the OP
Watching this anime is so wholesome and feel good but at the same time also makes me feel kind of sad. Makes me wish I could just hit the reset button on my own life and be more friendly, outgoing and supportive to others during my childhood. I’d probably be living a much better life if I did.
This may just be the smoothest and most unique opening I’ve ever seen
If this ever gets really popular the fandom will be fighting so damn hard over who Katarina is ending up with
Oh DEFINATELY.
It's already popular honestly.
I'm just curious, who do you want for Katarina? :)
Trini Arata aaah idk. Its so hard. To be honest I like all of them. But probably Alan Sophia or Geordo.
This Op jumps from humourous to angelic shots so well.
It's like it had a whole previous life practicing.
0:21 how did her not became grey or no been ripped out of her head after the year of Caterina misbehavior?
You mean after 7 years of that.
r/ihadastroke
this is literally my favorite show of all time
I'm not surprised that she has such an extensive harem orbiting her.
After all, Black Holes tend to be extremely dense
I love the opening, best girl Catalina is here! 😍 0:40 I just love that part XD.
I don't know why, but i feel Female MC with Harem are written more compelling than Males MC with harem.
Anime has a majority male audience, so it makes sense that writers would put more care and attention into crafting the female characters.
There aren't a lot of reverse harems out there. The ones we do have are usually based off otome games so the female mc tends to be flat with no personality, and the guys stick to there stereotype. Whereas harems with a male mc tend to have a lot fanservice.
After have seen many reverse harem I can say that... not really.
Nah, a lot of reverse harem anime are pretty trash. Like Diabolik Lovers.
To me it really depends im not big on the genre but when I find instersting Female MCs like Haruhi from Ouran Or Katarina in this so can be done well but it really dose depend
I’ve only seen the first episode and I’m already completely obsessed. Also best part of the opening at 0:00-end
For everyone who loved this anime, I strongly suggest reading the webcomic or novel Inso’s law! A girl suddenly ends up in a webnovel she read as the protag best friend. I read the comic version and it had me struggling to not laugh in public, the art is awesome and dynamic well written as a harem (with guys and a girl!! Healthy relationship dynamics!!) I love it and cant wait for the next update
This is such a heartwarming light-minded and fun anime
It's really one of a kind
Favourite anime of the season.
Watched the new episode as soon as it came out. (40 minutes)
honestly who in their right mind would cast off this anime and ik what ya mean about watching it straight away as i checked what time the next episode came out and planned what i was gonna do during the day around that time
Stop Seducing me!!
There is no stopping it, join us in the blackhole!
We are all of us the harem
Bro it was so fluid I forgot I was watching just the op and was waiting for the anime to start and was so confused when it started looping and links to crunchyroll started showing up
Do I have a problem if I ship her with literally everyone?
Welcome to the club bud
Same
This song’s melody fits with the type of show it is, a sort of princess-y sort of melody like what you would hear from a princess show from disney of some sort.
This. Facts
Anime's like this catches viewers because it shows character development
The cutscenes in the animation combined with the song reminds me of something nostalgic but I just can't put my name on it.... Especially at 1:05. Is there another anime opening/ending that did something similar?
someone said Bohemian Rhapsody. But am not sure.
Probably Hinako Note
1:05 the case files of jeweler richard did that to for their op
Mahotsuhai precure
This OP reminds me of Baka and Test, if that helps!
I had no idea how much I needed a bisexual harem anime until I found this show
credit placement for this op is just satisfying to look at
I still haven't seen anyone say this so I am gonna point it out... the first thing that came to mind when seeing the protagonist for the first time in a thumbnail was : "this is like an anime version of mabel from reverse falls"
finally- i’ve been looking for this opening :D
Try asmik ace's channel. They uploaded the opening and ending a week ago before crunchyroll. Moreover, the artist of the song, Angela. Hope this helps.
Am i the only one who was overjoyed when they snuck in that chord from Beethoven’s song ? The Harpsichord at the beginning was a nice touch too!
Love this singer. The second I heard this OP I was like "I swear Ive heard this singer before" and then when it went to the holy singing I was like *Click fingers* Aho Girl!!!!
all you need to know about this anime: EVERYONE ends up loving her
To clarify: that's EVERYONE.
Not just everyone in the school.
Not just everyone in the show.
Not just everyone in anime fandom.
E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E
Definitely my favorite anime opening by far. just love how happy and bouncy it is.
Damn. It’s already been almost about a year since this came out. Time sure does fly. I miss when this was new
This anime is gold , after 6 chapters being aired i just started watching it and it's so refreshing.
0:40 now I’m interested
KIRI GYT yeah that part is pretty good
That's one of my favorite gags of the show so far lol
It is a great part of the show
When Spider desu ga comes out in anime, you will be seeing more of that type of gag lol.
For some reason, silly female protags like having a council comprised of themselves in isekai.
@@evo683 not only in isekai, there's that episode on Kaguya-sama
Translation of the Lyrics:
I am ambiguous
If you mix it round and round
It may looks like a rapid change
That I admire
If you're in love, it's a superb dessert
Forgive me for preferring sweet and sour
Lovely turning around
A bit more than my imagination, go straight ahead
A maiden's route is not the only one
Let's say hello to a lucky dream that makes me wake up
I'm always positive
Running around as usual
Increasing my popularity
Be pure, correct and beautiful
It is well said
Say hello to a happy future that's waiting for me for sure
I'm always positive
Out of curiosity, it seems that there are several musical references, I think one is classical at 0:40 (Mozart I think?), and the other seems to be from Bohemian Rhapsody at 1:05, anyone know if that’s correct or if there are others?
bruh 0:40 is Beethoven. Although like literally everyone, they make the mistake of placing it on the beat
Yep you are right that sounds very much like bohemian rasposdy
6dm ahh thanks
Not every classical piece was written by mozart...
Ooooh finally a comment that talks about the familiar melodies in this opening! :D
I was curious for the one on 1:05 b/c I remember this was also used in Mahotsukai Precure 🤔
Just wait until the anime ends and everyone demands a season 2.
Why wait?
I Already am demanding a season two
Season 2 when
I’m now demanding a season 3 😂
I love this opening; it just owns the series... it captures the romance element, but also the fun and stupidity of Katarina... it's just so well done... definitely the best opening spring 2020...
