Finally got around to watching this and reading the thread. People were talking about the game earlier, is Fortune Lover a real game or is this an adaptation of a game?

Also I'm glad it seems like lovable morons are in, everything I'm following has at least one as a main character.

I'm only kidding, of course. Katarina would capture the hearts of the enemy prince and princess and end the war before it even happened.

Fortune Lover is a fictional game, this anime is an adaptation of a light novel and the manga adaptation of that light novel.

Do be warned that despite the cutesy presentation, Long Live the Queen is actually pretty hardcore Royalty Murder Simulator and not really like Bakarina at all.

I heard Fortune Lover is getting a demo with the blueray version of this anime. So I guess theres that.

Except Katarina is the protagonist in this story. And has none of the personality traits of Monika such as obsessive possessiveness, a lack of care for her fellow characters, and a desire to destroy the world?

it's funny how adventuring is the only way to consistently get a good ending in princess maker 2

but you won't know where to go and what treasures to find and how to handle situations unless you have previous knowledge of the game

she's like helen of troy

everyone wants to marry her

except she always the backup strat of "run away and be a farmer" as a plan A (depending on whoever she thinks captures Maria's eye first) so she has much more agency than the stereotypical damsel in distress.

I mean, she thinks that if either Keith or Geordo start to like Maria, she'll make plans to hightail it out of there in the middle of the night before she gets stabbed

in reality, Anne would probably yell at her first, before getting Keith to also yell at her, before she makes it out the front gates

Gonna dissent and suggest that Bakarina is neither gay nor straight, rather her gender/sexual identity is "dense". Not saying I hold to this view, but it's something to consider.

We should probably cool it with the manga panels, while the anime is still airing.

Personally, I'll be disappointed if Katarina turns out more gay than bi, and I'm kind of miffed that a lot of the fan reactions seem to be going that way already

It does make me wonder though- is Bakarina attracted to Maria because she's bi/gay, or is it because Maria still has some Protagonist Powers™ left? After all, Bakarina did not act this way around any of her other love interests, male or female.

Only having watched the anime, I'd have thought Catarina is pretty firmly established as bi as soon as she met Sophia and Nichol. That whole episode was her mooning over the both of them.

Oh I see! This must be the Bad Opinion Zone!
What Bakarina doesn't realise is that she reincarnated not in the universe of Fortune Lover, but the universe of Fortune Lover fanfiction.

She uses her real world knowledge, her predilection for earth magic, and her years honing her amateur farming skills to completely revolutionize the agricultural industry and lift her nation out of poverty. :colbert:

The irony of that being that it doesn't seem like Sophia has any romantic attraction to Catarina. Unless things change Sophia seems to be Catarina's only platonic friend outside of Anne.

Yeah, let's cool it with spoilers from stuff that's probably coming. Things that are probably getting the "cutting room floor" treatment (like I'm sure Anne's backstory is not getting elaborated upon).

Some spoilers are more than welcome, though! Like this. Katarina is a big, adorable dumbass.
