So I haven't read ahead in the manga or anything, so I don't know what happens. But I am pretty sure the real princess Alicia is alive. We don't see a corpse, so I assume she is alive.

I've been really enjoying the manga so I'm glad the anime is so far pretty solid. The animation isn't stellar, but serviceable enough and I like the colors.
The voice cast is also on-point even if Yuichiro Umehara voicing a dark-haired pretty boy in a Shojo fantasy show (or just plain Shojo) is super expected.
Nina is such an endearing Heroine. A tomboy who speaks her mind but just wants to be needed and appreciated, and is caring and fun all the while dealing with her personal emotional baggage.
They had Nao Toyama do the ED and Muhulum so I wonder if Maaya Sakamoto will voice the Galgada king?
Also I love how the ED basically spoils the plot of the entire season as the "Story of Nina."

Yeah, I think Az looks better in the manga... At least Nina looks great!
Pacing is quite fast. I don't think we'll be seeing Sol in this season? They weren't shown in the opening? Unless I missed it

The thing that bugs me is how nobody in the know seems to be affected at all by her death. I get that they're trying to hide it, but they're all like "Oops, I dropped the cake I was baking for the party on the floor, I guess I'll have to buy one at the store and pretend I made it." At this point, I can't tell if there's a plot reason for this or if it's a weakness in the storytelling and/or adaptation.

The only people in the know (from what we've seen) are Azure and various attendants, all of whom are just trying to survive in a dangerous environment, and none of whom seem to have had any reason to be emotionally attached to Alisha. It's also a society that places much lower value on life, whether by not caring when peasants die or by treating a princess as little more than a diplomatic bargaining chip.
