>Implying any of them were "good" guys

Joan of Arc is the only one I would call a good guy. Everyone else so far is deep in the grey zone at best/worst.

All these End antagonists look really cool. This time Joan of Arc looks like a dude. Japan loves their traps.


I fucking love Naoshi Kanno. He's probably my favorite character from this point. All the characters are awesome tbh.

Wow this episode was intense
The black kings army was huge and had a large variety of troops from goblins to orks and dragons.
And the evil heroes known as the edge were just as deadly as their good counterparts in the drifters.

Hmm so the octobrists are the good guys here then eh

Well at the moment these two drifters
Scipio Africanus of Rome and Hannibal of Carthage still haven't recovered eh

But im surprised that Scipio went and defended Hannibal lol
they were enemies lol


The beginning of the siege when the black army rushed the walls
was well done
That atmosphere man

Combat scenes was pretty well done
Dragons landing troops while ground troops storm the walls
behind them was well done

Hmm Hijikata Toshizo the vice commander of the famed Shinsengumi eh
so his power apart from his sword skills is to summon spirits eh

and Joan of arc ironically uses fire

And anacastica of the Russian royal family uses ice eh

So that is the power of the Black king

So the drifters also have Butch Cassidy and the sundance kid among their
ranks eh
They sure shown their marksmanship skills in the last part of the episode

Good thing they were saved by the zero

Lol look at Kanno go eradicating dragons like that

These "enders" are so seriously unintimidating (really, joan of arc? kek), it's not even a question who's going to win. The number of japanese figures they have though is seriously couchy, I'd honestly have preferred a british ace.

I mean really, Rome lost more people in a day than this black king guy is ever going to command, it's not even funny how tilted this is.

I dislike the fact that Joan of Arc is being portrayed as a psychopathic arsonist. That, and the comedy that I don't find funny really kill this show for me. Probably gonna stop watching here, but man, those first two episodes had some great fight animation!

Dang, the Ends have some pretty legit people on their side. Their powers are so cool! Hijikata and Joan of Arc and also another girl I don't know (the Russian ice one). I actually look these people up once they got introduced lol :P Plus they have DRAGONS! Holy crap that's legit XD Looks like the Drifters got a WW2 pilot on their side. I guess the dragon scales aren't effective against bullets :P Anyway, seems like they're trying to get the Drifters away somehow and then our original 3 have encountered the Organization that was spying on them. Can't wait to see where this all goes! :D

Yeah, I'm absolutely loving this show, it's amazing to me how they are pulling off this artstyle and such fantastic animation despite keeping the detailed art style of the Hellsing Ultimate OVAs. The background and coloring style is perfect too.

Also in addition to the Drifters and Ends the Octobrist guys seem pretty cool in design like Abe no Seimei, Chris Patton's doing a great job with him. I love the voice Monica is using for Easy and Wald sounded good as Murasaki opposite her in that scene.

People, the black king, is not Jesus but either Osiris or his son Horus. Osiris is called the black king, the god of death and life, and agriculture.

Horus is a god of the sky with an all-seeing eye. Rumor is Horus and Jesus is one in the same. I do not know how true it is, but Horus is born on Dec 25 under the two stars of Orion (representing the three wise men). Horus was also crucified just like Jesus. Horus's eyes have to mean as well....One eye was the sun, and the other was the moon.

I believe that the black king in Drifters is either OSIRIS or HORUS!

It would've been better if they didn't make Joan of Arc look like a complete psychopath. Her grudge against her people's betrayal leading her to become part of the Ends is understandable but her crazy personality is just weird. The other ones being evil (or at least not giving a dam and working for them) is kinda random too. Not sure why they didn't just go with people throughout history who did act like monsters since there is a good selection to choose from.

So I started watching and immediately I thought "there is too much chibi" in this and the comedy seems oriented towards children. My opinion of the anime so far was 7/10 but then out of nowhere, a WW2 bomber Jap comes out of the magic door blowing shit up and immediately this anime gets a 9/10. If it was an American WW2 fighter pilot then it would have been 10/10 but I will settle with the Jap. I can't help it, pilots are my kryptonite when it comes to ultimate badassery.

That was intense. Everything got cleared up. So the Drifters came to this world to stop the Dark King to destroy everything. There were a lot of big names to see in this episode, characters a lot of people know from history or maybe other anime.

The conversation at the beginning was kinda funny between Hannibal and Scipio. I didn't know what I should think when Hannibal peed on himself, but I guess if you're older that can happen lol.

The dark king looks cool and also all the special people besides him like Jean Dark etc. They also seem pretty strong from what we could see.

There were even dragons :o
I didn't expect to see a warplane. Good thing a drifter was controlling it and killed all the dragons within a few moments. Butch and Kid are also pretty cool with their guns. I missed Toyohisa, Nobunaga and Yoichi but the end was absolute hilarious, I laughed my ass off xD

It seems that infamous people in history known for large kill-counts were transported as Drifters in another world while the Ends those who were undeserving of death but got killed anyway got awesome powers similar to the nature of how they died and went crazy in the process.

Yoshitsune with those ghost warriors, Joan of Arc turned into a real nutcase after her ordeal casting Amaterasu everywhere and pretty Anastasia with the Russian Winter wow. What I'm a bit confused about is the big guys behind them. Are they like their Stands xD

Despite Hannibal and Scipio being historical rivals, they got quite a bromance~ Him wanting to use Sundance Kid's machine gun against Rome lol

That Plane Captain came out of nowhere with a big-ass plane then he was suddenly mowing down hordes of dragons like it's nobody's business~ The action in this episode was pure eye-candy ♥

Decided to see this because I wanted to watch some action packed anime, but up until now this has been filling me with regret. First two episodes were... okay, but this one is just too much, feels like historical figures are just thrown in a huge mess to fight each other, the fight scenes are the only real objective of this and the base plot doesn't have much significance.

Don't see the point on using historical figures and basically change all their personalities: Joan of Arc is just a crazy bitch who likes to set people on fire and has nothing to do with the real one; feels like Anastasia Romanova is there just because the author wanted a character from Russia to use a power based on ice/coldness; Naoshi Kanno is basically an annoying caricature; etc. I'm not saying I wanted a totally serious and realistic anime, but if it's gonna be like this, for me the use of historical figures is really just to gain people's attention, because all the characters could be changed to original ones and it wouldn't really matter.

Also, the comedy scene after the ED felt very forced and absolutely out of place, it wasn't fun and the mood has nothing to do with the rest of the episode.

Can only hope it gets better from here on out, but I'll keep my expectations low.

Ok the octobrists are magicians and have their own drifters. The "en"(?) are the "black" drifters rules d by the black King (some demon/orc guy?)? And the octobrists want their drifters to pair up with the 3 japanese drifters to fight the En. The post credit scene explained a lot.

This was my least favorite of the first 3 episodes but at least it explained some things.
