It's a bit strange watching this episode while knowing what's going to happen from the Crunchyroll series description, the series poster, and the OP. It might've been nice to binge the first 3 episodes, like how some shows (like Oshi No Ko) have extended first episodes.
I like Tobias, in the way that he is self-centered and exceedingly unlikable. I already want him to go away.
Without Carlo's guidance, what will Dahlia do? I want to get to the meat of the series. Hopefully we'll get a taste in the next episode.
I suppose we have to wait for episode 4 for that. I like the slow pace though. As a source reader it’s nice to see an adaptation that isn’t rushed to hell and back for once.
I also was thinking the same thing with the “trying to run from the oncoming rainstorm” metaphor for “You cannot run from the inevitability of death”. Dahliaʼs sudden desire to create raincoats felt like foreboding that she will want to create immortality-granting magic tools to help people like her father outrun mortality.
