| Fun fact - Arslan's seiyuu is the same as Su-won from AnY. |
 |
| Very unimpressed last week, this week it was pretty decent. This may turn out to be good. |
Honoka is my Hero! Click Me! |
| This is getting gud. |
| The first half was abit slow and well abit boring tbh,things picked up in the second half though. The King is an idiot for ignoring Daryun and falling for that obvious trap. |
| Damn after watching episode 2 of Arslan Senki, I can't choose which one the best anime is this season! This season rocks! So much great anime! This episode was great! OP and ED are catchy! Didn't see that betrayal coming from Kharlan! Daryun is OP as hell! Next episode the King dies?! Can't wait for it! Yashasuiin!! |
| I would say that this episode perfectly portrayed how important it is to know when to retreat when the situation calls for it. Arslan actually did well considering it was first battle and the first enemy soldier to ever kill, it was rather sad that Kharlan betrayed them, but I was expecting someone to do it in the end and Daryun was really badass in the end of the episode. |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| Uverworld are back, I love the op! Anyway, great war scenes. They're doing a pretty good job, imho. But in the anime this impression of mine is even stronger: Daryun's chara design reminds me way too much of Kimblee. Not good, Arakawa-sensei! |
| Daryun best character. |

black1blade said: The king kinda deserved that. I don't see how he was so successful with such a foolish attitude. I think on previous battles the King prioritized numbers over strategy, or so it seems. I liked the actual battle. CGI is till bad and distracting and the animation is decent. I expected more given the epicness of the trailers, but hey, it's only the second episode. I like how Arslan is actually quite a good swordsman, I wasn't expecting that :o Also, ED song is actually better than the OP, which I was totally hyped for since they announced it was gonna be an Uverworld song, but it was... okay I guess? I don't think is fits the show. Maybe Akatsuki no Yona ruined epic opening songs for me since ANY's was perfect. Oh, well. |
.....    |
| this show is giving me akatsuki no yona vibes with a bit of kingdom mixed in. But liking this a lot so far, lets hope they keep it up |
| I am gripped by this series already. They've already done so much to develop the type of upbringing Arslan has had and who the trustworthy are surrounding him. I knew things were going to be a blood bath the second I heard the king's arrogance and over-confidence. Horrid turn of events for the Pars army but oi! what a trap! |
 |
| the art style reminds me of FMA |
| it's getting better ;) well it's reminds me of AnY how can an idoit-like King won so many wars? he's just a complete idiot when it comes to warfare........... Despite the confused situation, Arslan did really well Daryun = Zhao Yun? ;) |
 |
| Great episode! Pretty interesting setting imo. While I kinda wanted the battle to be wrapped up by the end of this episode so we could see the aftermath in ep 3, that's fine since the pacing was super solid. |
| While it was Predictable mainly just to show how arrogant and blinded by power the current king is or that's how i took it,nice to see Arslan is capable of defending himself just barely at his age wasn't to sure about this but seeing this episode has got me excited if they keep it up battles are like some total war shit! plus the ED is so good |
 |
| Second half of the episode was pretty good! |
| The Prince isn't as pussy as he look so that's nice. Daryun is a beast, the Prince would be so dead without him. I am in love with the ED. |
 |
| That was definitely a great episode overall. I expected a trap like that and the betrayal too. Still great. Can't wait for next week's episode. |
 |
| This just keep getting better and better. The battle start and boom, the first wave already down. Sad to see that those three boys is dead. Now the fun start once again! |
 |
| I normally like Uverworld, but I didn't enjoy the OP theme as much as i wanted to. They've had better songs... Pride comes before the fall. King Andragoras is a friggin fool! =/ Love the depiction of the horrors of war tho. That oil scene was all kinds of messed up, but it felt very epic. Daryun going in to rekt everyone next week. Can't wait! |

| Daryun is my favorite part of this show so far. Pretty good episode! |
| wow I love the anime it really does remind me of Fire Emblem. I just love how Daryun comes to Arslan's rescue. Daryun is so badass >.< |
 |
| The stuff that happened in the episode was pretty predictable but I quite enjoyed the episode, Daryun is really cool and I didnt expect that guys to betray Arslan. I didnt really enjoy the opening but I do like the ending quite a bit. |
| Now that I've actually seen the episode instead of spamming UVERworld's OP, not too shabby thus far. Love both the opening and ending a ton. Daryun to wreck some more fools next episode! |
 |
| Boy, this sure is a good show. Shame about the 3D CGI, though. It's godawful. Looks almost as bad as the CGI in the Berserk movies. |
| It makes you wonder how the Pars army has been undefeated when they don't even have a strategist and the king is brute with no brain. This anime reminds me of the game Suikoden 5 but at least over there the kingdom's tactician was exiled to spare her life due to political pressure instead of just because of the king's idiocy. |
 |
| It doesn't sucks, but just... predictable. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| This was so good. I can't wait for more episodes. Daryun is amazing. |
 |
| somehow to me Daryun resembles like Kimbley(FMA Brotherhood) and Arslan like Edward Elric... |
 |
| Nice episode: interesting happenings and good pace. The king is an idiot, really. I can see him dying easily. Daryum seems a charismatic character. I didn't really like the opening, too bad :< |
| This is so fucking sweet! |
 |
| Good episode, it felt really short. I like Daryum and his uncle. Looks like they are loyal and supports Arslan. Kings who have great accomplishments under their names use to be arrogant ( at least in anime/literature) so it's not a big surprise he fell for the trap. Though it's pissing me that we have a TRAP as main character... I must appreciate really good OST, OP and characters voices. UVERworld is automatically + 2 for me. Although ED feels very generic as any other asian pop songs. I don't like it. On the other hand I can't help but feel Kingdom vibes although it still has a long way to go to be on par with it. |
| Between the adult world and the world of kids, there, Holyland exists. |
| Nothing new here in terms of story; standard tropes like the King too proud to consider sound advice, expected betrayal, and the (not so)weak main character. Still I'm loving this adaption, and it's handling the execution very well. Good pacing, nice character build up and awesome soundtracks used non intrusively. Probably my top show this season after FSN, hope it doesn't disappoint! |
| Uverworld did awesome with the opening theme. Dat betrayal thought should have seen it coming. |
 |
| Really average. |
| Average at best. They foreshadowed everything WAY too much, to the point where what will happen bacame obvious. Also, didn't like the representation of the battle at all. It has some positive points, but I expected a lot more. |
Hakaya said: The king is complete idiot, he should always listen to the reason rather than "Fighters don't escape" For someone that never lost a battle he sure is stupid. |
| Wow! This will be the down fall of the foolish king. How can he sacrifice so many lives just for the sake of his pride (so sad!). I hope Prince Arslan doesn't become a ruler like him. (just kidding, it's so obvious that he takes nothing after his father (hint hint)). It hurts to see our naive little prince being hit with reality. He lost his first three loyal minions AND got betrayed by someone that was in such a high position (tell me who didn't see this coming? , lol). Oh well, Daryun came to save the day and he looked awesome doing so! He's probably the best character in the series!! I'm looking forward to what kind of Kingdom Prince Arslan is going to rule (": |
| Those three kids died NOOOOOOOOOOOOO T____T |
| The king should've listened to Daryun. Because of his ignorance, his son's men were all slaughtered for the most part... Great episode :D. The oil pit trap was kinda surprising. ED is pretty good. Looking forward to the next episode. |
| What excellent episode, first half calm, but after showed a little of the characters' personality, as Daryun, the King and even from Arslan during the preparation for war The second half was quite exciting, the tension of war and the deaths on the battlefield left the most dramatic episode, then Arslan is pursued and Daryun appears to save him, I am very much looking forward to watching the next episode as well as the manga that certainly I will read too .. |
  |
| dammm this was so tragic, I just wish andragoras would listen (which is impossible unfortunately). this will probably remind me of marth's journey in fire emblem |
