The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady “Acquisition of an Assistant for Both Profit and Pleasure” Review
The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady “Acquisition of an Assistant for Both Profit and Pleasure” is the second episode of the Magical Revolution anime. Following the break up of Euphilia’s engagement to Algard at the end of episode 1, Anise decides to do some damage control. Taking Euphilia to their parents, king Orfans and prime minister Grantz, Anisphia informs them about Algard breaking off the engagement, much to their shock. As they wonder what is to become of Euphilia, Anisphia offers to take her in as a research assistant and split the profits between them, doing a pretty bad job at hiding that she has a crush on her. Nonetheless, Grantz agrees to it as it would help repair her reputation and apologizes to his daughter for placing unreachable expectations upon her. Afterward, Euphyllia moves into Anisphia’s resistance, the Separate Palace. While impressed by the results of the princess’ research, seeing how it could be helpful to commoners, she is also concerned about how the nobles would react to such a threat to their authority. Later, whilst sharing a bed, Euphyllia asks Anisphia why she would go so far to help her, to which the princess replies that she just could not stand how sad she looked when her engagement got cancelled and tells her to just rest for now.
Review
This was definitely the “info dump” episode. Whilst a lot of Anise’s technology is shown to be ground breaking in it’s uses most of the best stuff is clearly being held back for later episodes, it’s still cool to see the technology being used by the King though and gives us more insight into why Algard is frustrated at how much freedom King Orfans gives Anise. I just can’t wait to see how Euphilia will implement her magic into Anise’s ideas, especially seeing as it’ll hopefully give her a place to feel she belongs without having to be perfect.
This was a fun episode, not as action packed or fun as the first but a good set up for what’s to come.
