| That guy with ligers on griffins was epic as hell, it's a shame that he died so fast, kinda anti-climactic. What time does this air, neon-red blood doesn't really make sense if this is late-night or even an evening air time. Overall it was a pretty good episode although I'm kinda unclear what the God General's are trying to do or where they are sent from. |

| Alright, every anime from now on needs glowing blood. It's so much cooler than regular blood. You can even switch the color up too just so we can get some variety. Or you could replace it with fire. I would be perfectly fine with anime characters just bursting into flames ala Shishio when they are killed. |
| Lol, glow blood rocks. Man, the guy riding the eagles died so easily...and does anyone notice that Tear seems to be the only who keeps taking damage? When they were outside on deck, some guy appeared and Luke and her got knocked out, then she got hit by the liger and now she protected Luke... |
 |
| the monsters dont have glowing blood.... great episode though, Anise was great "I'LL KILL YOU! YOU BASTARD!" XD |

| Sparkly blood! Oh censorship, you're so amusing. Nice to know some human characters for once. All is well in RPG-based worlds where you try and kill everything that opposes you, but humans lives are important, and I'm glad to see a character that worries about that. But only because he doesn't have the mindset of a warrior - I don't know if I want him to, either. But it's nice for a change - in an RPG-based world, that is. Anyway, great episode! I really love it when Jade uses a spell, I really love magic users. Anise is hilarious! XD |
| Well, it's still keeping to the game rather closely, Guy appearing out of nowhere still confuses me, now in both forms~ And.... aparrently.. I'm not the first to notice the glowing blood, ah wel it doesn't bother me too much. Our anime club would have a nice time watching this...... or not. For those watching around the forums, you don't have to play the game to actually understand the storyline here, though the game itself is fun, maybe you should look into finding it. |

| I fail big time... I have the game but never played it lol... yet I watch the anime???? |
| Sink... into Darkness! |
| bottomline neon red blood sucks. |
| This is a good adaptation so far. ^_^ Nothing felt as rushed as it was in Symphonia. I don't mind glowing blood as long as we still see blood around and isn't black (just a dark red shade). |
| Whatever character Koyasu Takehito is voicing is always the coolest. In this case Jade =) |

| So I finally got around to watch this series.... Ahhh, Luke, why must you be so cute >w< Seriously, with the whole "omg I can't kill people" attitude and the fact he's blushing so frequently... I just can't help it. *likes* He's such a bishi, lol. At least during the first eps haha. Mmm, also -- Tear, and Guy, and Jade, and lots of awesome characters! Kyaa. Awesome series is awesome. |
     |
| Wootz Jade is awesome! (KT yay <3) Tear oh noes... im sure she will be fine Zeinzu-sama said: Anise was great "I'LL KILL YOU! YOU BASTARD!" XD |

| Great episode. This show turns out better than I expected. Very cute scenes again and lots of interesting characters. I laughed about Anise x Luke. |
   |
| Lots of cool new characters. I daresay this is getting pretty interesting. All hail the cynical Jade, cute Anise and the awsome Guy! |
 |
| Great characters. I Lol'd at the ligers on the griffins' backs and Anise's exit was awesome. Sad for Tear though, lazer light blood blows. |
 |
| Luke is one of those characters which I hate the most - those who cry "I can't kill, it's not ok to kill, bla bla" but I think he will get over that quickly. Why did he train if he didn't intend to use his sword when needed, ccc. |

zerron said: I guess he didn't mention it in the anime, but in the game, Luke admits he's only training so he has "something" to do in his house (since he can't leave his home at all, yes, he can't even go to the street), and to show off, since he's just a brat who likes to brag. He never really trained with the mindset of having to "use" said skills in real combat.Luke is one of those characters which I hate the most - those who cry "I can't kill, it's not ok to kill, bla bla" but I think he will get over that quickly.

| I love the rpg feel of the anime, it makes me want to play the game. Luke is pretty annoying. Bad attitude and then hes a wimp, geeez Is it just me or does Jade look like hes dancing under a disco ball in this picture :P http://randomc.maximum7.net/image/Tales%20of%20the%20Abyss/Tales%20of%20the%20Abyss%20-%2003%20-%20Large%2013.jpg |

| Jade's voice is just way too hot <3 Koyasu takehito. I think his looks are starting to grow on me too. I love guy though! and his phobia of women... haha |

I'm really enjoying this much more than I ever expected I would. ^ true dat. & Anise's reaction to falling down the window, rofl. She's so cute, I really like her. I also think I'll really like Arietta. ++ Luke is sooooo cute. *___* ; he's definately different from Inuyasha now, but still, the resemblance makes me smile~! I'm probably buying the game, since I saw it at the store! Yayy. |
 |
| I liked this episode. They're really in sync with the game. |
 |
| Lol glowing blood won't surprise me now that I saw in some hentai something else sparkling ^___^ Is it only me here who is watching TotA without playing the game (without even intending to play it)? I feel kinda watching some recycled materials. May be it's not that bad, just strange... |
 Credits for the av go to whispering-eden.livejournal.com =) I used to be Dolce_Vitka here, but Vitka_Lynx is my nickname at alost all other sites, so I decided to take it here, too ^___^ |
| next ep: luke will be all like lemme protect you and fight ;D? this show really rules. |
| Hate Luke... =_=' Acts like a spoiled brat and now all this "Oh noes! Can't kill precious humans!" (but didn't hesitate a second to slice up monsters... all living beings after all! =/) Guy's women phobia came suprisingly, but it's just lovely. XD |
 |
| This episode, was pretty awesome. They show alot of new characters. Some people may see this as luke being the biggest coward that walked the earth, but there is a reason for this and im glad there adapting this well in the anime, such as the part where tears takes the blow from luke. This will definitely change him in such a way, that will make him stronger. Coming to realization that there is a war at hand and any of his friends or people he knows can be hurt. He has to realize he is not protected any more in his mansion living a care free boring life. He now out in the big bad world and he has to defend him self and make a stand. This episode still remained pretty close to the games original storyline. |

Paul said: Seems a like next episode is a bit rushed seeing as how they already to the part where they're in the mansion... Hopefully they show luke using Lighting Tiger Blade :3 Anyways, Arietta needs to be more loli and moe. yeah well you knew it was going to happen sooner or later. I just knew they wouldn't be able to keep up this pacing for 26 episodes. It would be impossible to finish then. But as long they keep the most critical parts of the story and kind of tie in all the events and make sense out of a story, i won't care, but if it turns out like TOS. I'll be madly dissapointed. |
| |
| Ouch @ the ending there. I hope Tears can get back up soon.. |
 |
| scythe guy died way too fast lol |
| Oopsie.. let's pray for mc to man up soon. Guy just came in with the superhero entrance.. It's a miracle how he traveled that far and found him at the perfect timing. Great way to prevent ntr.. making the best friend gynophobia.. genius. |
