1 Speaking of your favorite flavor, I recently spotted The Frontier Lord Begins with Zero Subjects, notable for Best Waifu having dark skin, white hair, and a blue horn. The light novels and manga are both out for Kindle, but the tagging is a mess, so they're jumbled together.

The Wedding Waifus look to be premium eye candy, so hopefully the animators have enough budget to show them off properly. With appropriate upgrades for the Bluray release, of course.

2 I'm not exactly impressed with the animation so far, and especially not with Satou's character design (They were definitely shooting to make him look more like an adult, but the look doesn't suit his personality too well, and his head ends up looking too small). But since the girls are the point, hopefully they'll get more budget. There wasn't any obvious censorship in the bath scene, they basically avoided showing anything they'd have to cover up.

3 The bath scene was in the trailer, covered with steam, so they were definitely promising bountiful fan-service. And the ED animation is basically scratch-and-sniff.

4 Well, they just laid it out on the table at the beginning of the second episode that he's gotta get all five rings to have enough power to defeat the demon king.
And the prince he cucked at the wedding, Marse, has been remarkably fine with everything so far. I'm suspicious. I wonder if he's going to pull a double-cross at the critical moment....

5 Perhaps he's hoping the Ring King burns himself out saving the world, leaving behind five hot young widows.

6 Well, that was different. Finished the second episode, The Elf princess was next, and apparently she's grossed out by the whole idea of kissing anyone (Which is needed to transfer the power.) And Satou's otherworldly origin isn't that well received either.
Satou and Hime deciding to postpone their nuptuals until it feels right wasn't something I expected either.
Satou also shares an annoying trait with Naoya from Kanojo mo Kanojo, in that he blurts shit out, as if yelling proves his sincerity.

7 Third episode is done and he still hasn't scored the Elf Princess, but we get a much deeper dive into why things are so fucked-up in the Elf Kingdom, which has retreated from the world and used the ring's wind power to erect a barrier around the valley they live in.

The Princess is actually not the current ring bearer, her mother and father, who are petrified statues, but by some weird technicality still "alive" in elf terms, are. It's a side effect from erecting the barrier.
Her older brother is nominally in charge, except for one Elder. And he's been running some serious gaslighting. It seems the whole elf nation is terrified over the prospect of losing control of the ring, and he has filled her head with paranoia about how terrible the world outside is (Which the elder has tried to counter with her books).
This mission is not going to be easy. It's also chewing up episodes. This had better be able to get through the story before it ends.

8 So the 4th episode has a very fancy hot spring scene, with both princesses so far and the elf elder (Good thing the elves look eternally young) and the apparent censoring technique preferred is the soft blur instead of pixellations or anything. They seem to be trying VERY hard to short circuit anything serious happening to any of the couples yet.

9 Given the subject matter, I felt compelled to watch this episode, and now I'm convinced that instead of aging, hot elf chicks just keep getting bustier over the centuries.

10 Maybe for Elves, Bra size IS like Tree Rings....

11 It looks like they found your perfect woman this week...

12 Just starting the episode. I've seen evidence there are two different levels of censorship out there at least on this show. Now I need to find the uncensored version.

Stylisticly, I dislike the extremely fine "ink" line they use on the characters.

13 So if you look for Ember, they seem to have the uncensored version. And put in a bit more effort in their subtitles.

14 "Granart Needakitta" now that's a name with a huge lampshade hung on it.

15 White Sonja is the catgirl of the year.

16 And practically an old maid at 18!

Struck me how the rest of the female population was "Catty" in a bad way....

17 Water Princess. Well, THAT was fast, before the opening credits!

18 I thought it was interesting that DFC InstaWife's multiple motives dovetailed neatly into plot advancement, which suggests there's actually a plot. Also, I want this show to loan some jiggle to Pon No Michi; they've got plenty to spare.

19 I was a little disappointed that our possibly treacherous suitor hadn't been promised to the princess, rather than her twin sister. That would have complicated things nicely.

Also that he was not smart enough to explain why he didn't become the ring king (Wasn't his idea anyway) and point out that their love would be interfered with by four other women if he had.
