English Dub Review: By the Grace of the Gods ” Ryoma and the Busy Days”

Overview

Coming back from the job, Ryoma discovers that, not only are the preparations for the festival going smoothly, his activities are spurring others into action. Things are looking good for this festival!


Our Take

Upon returning from his adventuring job which involved killing tree monsters Ryoma comes to see the preparations for the festival is in full swing. Everything is going beyond smoothly for Ryoma employees building the stall for the festival. The entertainment troop Ryoma meet earlier this season is setting up their own stage right next door. Very generous they brought along their own laborers and even helped build Ryoma store stall.

The only thing to tie down now is the menu for the festival, which the workers have a hard time deciding upon on the beverage side. The magic box is also done and ready to be sold, though there’s the catgirl Miya paying close attention to Ryoma for some reason…

Overall, this episode worked as a companion piece to the previous one. And the reassuring vibe of this show is great as Ryoma is setting a new example in terms of being a great supportive boss. His employees all respect him and that’s lead to here where even with Ryoma gone they still know what to do right. Ryoma is very busy now after his return, lots of running around checking on everyone making sure details are right for the festival. Asagi and Miya coming up with their food stall idea was nice. Ryoma and Asagi seem to have bonded of their shared love for this style of food. But at the very least, he can always count on his employees to get shit done even when he isn’t always around.
