English Dub Review: Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles “Welcome Home”
Overview
Rio brings Miharu and the others from his old world to the Village of Spirits, where they receive safe shelter. To welcome the visitors, the villagers are preparing a grand festival.
Our Take
Although much of the proceedings seemed fun and lighthearted, Haruto’s choice to keep his true identity hidden from his sister leaves me scratching my head. Especially given his continued support for those he cares about. Hopefully, the reasons for his secrecy will become clear later on.
The double voice-over effect, used for translating the language, has been somewhat distracting. While it initially helped show the language barrier, it might be smoother if there were a simpler solution. Now that Miharu is teaching Strahl, we might see a more seamless approach to dialogue soon.
Overall, this episode adds depth to the relationships and introduces promising new dynamics. Celia’s journey remains heartwarming, and the story has a gentle, relaxed pace that allows each character’s connections to grow naturally. But with putting these displaced kids in a safe place? how is Haruto/Rio going to get them home?
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
