      The Barbarian’s Bride // Hime Kishi wa Barbaroi no Yome

      arent these the same?

      edit: I watched it, too. I was surprised how good it was. after ep1 i assumed it was the regular powerfantasy harem fantasy, which will drop qualities fast and is only carried by fanservice, but it turned out the quality was consistent through the season. The fanservice was strong, but it not too strong.

        Yup, they are. Fixed — thanks for pointing it out. (I was in doubt on where to rank it, and accidentally split both names apart.)

        IMO it’s a series with a damn good worldbuilding, and it got some good animation; for me it was way more enjoyable than Higeki no Genkyou, surprisingly so because I like Pryde’s story way better in the manga (The Barbarian’s Bride gets a bit stale over time IMO). But at the same time I couldn’t see myself being as excited with it than I was with Bertia.
