| Parallels to book are quite accurate. Working really well so far. |

| This show has such great pacing, it's not too rushed and not too dragged out. I hope we get a season 2. uver said: MisakaTheRailgun said: Anime of the season, calling it now. |

| The episode even if it seems serious, I found maybe a little too full of comedy. This however did not affect the usability of the story, even made me appreciate even more Narses and Daryun. The first two have entered the "party", now we need those who help with the attack. LOL Pleasant ending a little less the opening. |
 |
| Was I the only one hoping those soldiers had fallen into a pit of snakes? Detestable mercs with no loyalty, the lot of them. Still, Narsus was pretty badass in setting up the entire thing. You can totally tell that he's not one to use brute strength in his stratagem, but relies heavily on psychological warfare. Still..... his paintings are atrocious! Arslan, what the heck were you thinking?!?!! Now the walls of your palace are going to look like some 3 year old scribbled all over them! Looking forward to seeing more of Tahamenay, and to learn more about their family's backstory. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Mhmm, good episode. Wonder how long they will be trapped in the pit. |
 |
| I love this Narsus dude lol he may have dethroned Daryun as my fave character. Good episode. |

| Maybe it's Arakawa's art style that tricks me, but I always expect the comedy moments to make me laugh and they don't. If the show can't pull them off I'd rather they just kept it serious and epic. I also expected Arslan to promise to free all slaves and then he comes out with the Court Painter thing... I must say I was a tad disappointed. |
loulounatorz said: I totally think that narsus is Arslan's father ... just putting it out there. That explains that fact that Arslan has white hair and purple eyes while the king has black hair and black eyes (which are dominant). Also the king's blatant coldness to his "son" and the fact that the queen keeps Arslan at a an "arm's distance" as the anime put it. I mean obviously this isn't an original thought but i need to state this for the record so I can say i called it :P I was thinking something along the same lines. It would also explain why the king threw out Narsus, despite his impressive strategic victory. |
| Good episode better than last week's 3/5 |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Narsus is my new favorite character here! I wonder what his paintings look like.... |
 |
| OP definitely grows on you. ED still infinitely better. I normally stop right when ED kicks in but I listen to the end each time with this series. Narsus' voice is sex. Narsus and Daryun is friendship goals. |
| I was curious to see at least one of Narsus's painting hahaha |
 |
| I definitely like Narsus. Now we have some brains and brawn. |
 |
| Damn, a rumor can start and end wars. Daryun is a sly bastard for forcing Narsus into joining them, but Arslan thought of a better way in convincing Narsus. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| [Kaitou] were late! Another one of Arslan's minions has been added: Narsus! (a strategist is one of the things that is a must have!) |
 |
| Fools indeed. Did these guys seriously thought it was good idea to atttack a renowned strategist in his own domain? |
 |
| Nice introduction of Narsus, nothing really happened besides that though. Next episode looks cool, can't wait. :'D |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Arslan uses "Appeal to Vanity" It's super effective! Heh, ok, that's (kinda) not the real reason but it was my first thought when he made the offer. |
| Narsus give me an impression of Zuge Liang with sword skills His art jabs are so funny |
| Great episode, Narsus has finally joined them! And he's a great character 😍 I may even add him to my favorites 😊 |
 |
| LOL Court Painter, oh God. |
| Amusing episode, but its turning out to be a Yona copy without a really good lead. And instead a generic nice kid prince. |
| Be sure to message me if you quoted me and want me to respond! Just give me a link to the forum, because usually I leave my comment, then leave the forum. |
| it was a nice episode. slow but builds up the characters and the plot. does anyone else see kimblee in daryun? yes yes, same mangaka but still. i need to see Narsus' art. i need to. |

Farabeuf said: "I'll make you the Court Painter!!" Well played Arslan, well played. He might not be the warrior his father is, but he shows wisdom and a judgment of character way beyond what we saw from the King. I agree. And now Arslan's going to grow up directly advised by a slavery abolitionist! :D I cannot think of a better influence. Goodness, I wish the anime would show us how bad the paintings were. |

| Okay episode, and I remember again why I stopped watching this... oh well, let's see what's next! |
 |
| Nice, looks like our 2nd master Strategist has arrived, that should be fun. |
| Okay that was ridiculous.. I thought Arslan would banish slavery and win over Narsus, but no, some fucking painting did the trick lol. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| This show is literally perfect... amazing episode. I look forward to their reactions when they find Pars is under new authority. |

| Arslan would appoint Narsus as court painter? Lol I did not see that coming. I was expecting him to offer that he will free all the slaves. How bad are his paintings anyway? Maybe he just likes to draw abstract art haha. |
 |
| The pace wasn't good this episode, felt kind of long, the whole matter could have easily been done in 10 minutes. |
| I knew Arslan would appoint Narsus to be some kind of painter. Saw that coming. Didn't know the exact title, though. |
| It seems like they're implying that Narsus makes some risqué painting, which is why I'm guessing they don't show them, but it's just probably something silly. Speaking of Narsus, he's quite a character lol. |
 |
| Are Narsus' paintings that bad or are they just +18?? |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Really wonder what Narsus paintings look like. lol Narsus has joined the party. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
