(episode comment) the brilliant healer's new life in the shadows episode 1

Okay... So this was... a bit different from what I was expecting. I mean, one thing is sure, the format didn't follow the ones that I've read in the light novel. I've only read Volume 1, by the way. So at least, in a way, I know how the story goes. I think this episode started right around the middle part where the three gang leaders (as I'd like to prefer to them) were already swooning around Zenos. Lily was already in his care and Camilla was... always there in that house that Zenos was now using as his base of operation.

Even so, I don't mind the difference made. This was only the first episode. They must have done some sort of pattern on the sequence of the scenarios here. Not sure if that was even a good idea. But let's see.

I don't recall ever reading about Til and how her master was treating her in the light novel. But it was a bit similar to Lily's backstory, if I remember it right. Or maybe not. I don't know what to make of that. But I think, in a way, she would appear again in the series to see Zenos. At first, I thought it was Lily. Until I saw the appearance of the girl. Lily wasn't a beastskin.

Come to think of it, was there even a part of the light novel that showed anything about the possession? I don't recall Zenos dealing with anything like that there. Was this a scene exclusive to the anime? I mean, they tend to do that, at times.

In any case, the start was good for me. I think I should be treating this a little bit different from the light novel if they started it this way. Let's see what the next episode will offer.
