Still not sure about this show. I'm definitely interested in the coin plot; it seems like we're setting up for a nice little mystery with some con artist themes. On the other hand, I still feel like (aside from the one flashback) we're not getting much from Lawrence as a character. It seems like we're meant to assume he's clever and a capable merchant, but I just feel like we haven't seen him do anything. The animation quality also felt a bit off this episode, which I wasn't expecting.
As someone who watched the original anime from 2008 and read LNs I can tell you that there's a lot to uncover. While in my opinion animation is better than it was in 2008, I feel it lacks that bit of magic original had. Opening is good, though I liked old one more. As for story coin plot is just a beginning. There's going to be a lot more of those and every one of them is really thought out. Lawrence is not like those 200 IQ protagonists that are always 10 steps ahead. He's just a quite smart human, not more than that. He will have his ups and downs. Overall a very well written character. It will be clear by the end of the season or even sooner.
