| Really liking these eps a lot after S2 started. Good shit. Arslan's development should be interesting. Gieve's entrance was cool af |
 |
| After all the work Arslan did across the first season and Andragoras dares come in and claim Arslan committed high treason!? Bitch if wasn't for Arslan and his band defeating Silver Mask douche at several points you would have never had a chance to escape. Hoo boy I'm pissed, they better just kill him off because he doesn't deserve to lead them. Best part of the episode was Gieve's return to help Arslan, such a magnificent horse killing bastard :D |
 |
| Andragoras needs to die. God damn, they shouldn't even have let him back in. These are Arslan's people. No one wants to follow his father. This is bullshit. I have never been more furious. |
| well in the opening you can see arlan and his gang fighting on the ships(not 1 ship saw about 20 ships maybe there was even more so they army should be big :D) and they are not alone around them are parsian soldiers so arslan gona recruit jack sparrow/captain barbarossa and crush lusitania! Then he will become pirate king and and find one piece wait wrong anime or not |
| After a brilliant return to the story last week, Andragoras totally fucked everything up this week. I get WHY everybody simply tucked their tail between their legs and obeyed all his commands but I will never understand it (the idea of an absolute monarch like that). Just because the guy is (supposedly) Arslan's father doesn't mean that everybody has to blindly listen to him. It would take a few seconds to take him down and move on with life. But alas, people living under a monarchy their whole life don't see things so clearly. At the very least it will be interesting to see what Arslan's story is like now that he is going into exile. I would LOVE to see a 4-way (possibly even 5 or 6-way depending on how involved other countries become) war later on in the series, with Andragoras' army, Arslan's Army, Hermes' army, The Temple Knights, and whoever else wants to join in. |

| The sound track in this episode was freaking loud!! Most of the time I had to use the subs since I wasn't able to hear a full sentence spoken while in battle. Technical issues aside was a nice episode. |
 |
| wow so far this season is on fire. Only minus is the sound. they screwed something. really looking forward to the sadly short rest. |

Zapredon said: My guess is that Arakawa's adaptation isn't that far, and this anime takes it from there. The novels (from what am checking) are at least twice as long as content we're gonna cover by the end of this season, and there the final novel to come (yes the novels are ending after 30 years in circulation).Great fight. Sigh..why is there only 8 episodes this season. Terrible sound issue aside. Andragoras has been since day 1 portrayed as a power hungry son of a bitch who gives little to no fucks about anything other than himself. That has been painfully clear thorough all S1 during his incessant need to do war with everything on his sight, not to mention the glee with which he talks about Parsian history (as in don't giving a damn about killing his brother, about Hilmes, because it is all for my sake). The revelation that he took Tahamine's son from her so he could have her. Simply put this self-centered asshole only cares about himself and the rest can go fuck themselves and die for his sake, for all he cares they will die with honor. Based not only in views but also on what the opening and ending hint so far, it is painfully obvious that Andragoras will NOT concede on anything and remain the tyrant he has always been in opposition to Arslan. That is to say he will be a major antagonist and will (hopefully so) be brought down AT LAST. Not that I'm gonna miss him, I want this piece of shit dead, and this "exile" is likely the way to start. I'm positive that beyond Arslan's inner circle, not few are gonna be unhappy with this mistreatment and A LOT are gonna side with Arslan, which when he goes to the seas and likely gather allies from this Narsus equivalent, he's strong enough to stand up to Andragoras and freaking kill the son of a bitch for good. Ergo, Hilmes is gonna be a side character for now, when Andragoras is gonna be the prime enemy. |
 |
| do they now have archer in these large battles? seemed a bit stupid as was Arslan charging in through hundreds of men. |
| Summary: Enemy dies due to Narcus's plan, Gieve returns, and Andragoras also returns to exile Arslan. The End. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Amazing episode, suck that there are only 6 more left. |
  |
| I'm assuming some of you watched that crappy version as well, probably ripped off from somewhere. It's not the episode itself, thankfully (I rewatched on my better anime site and it was normal). Andragoras... =.= |
| Sheesh, instead of celebrating victory they're all stuck with dealing with Angragoras' saltiness now. Way to mess up a party, Angragoras. |
| 2nd last scene is the Turan prince killing his father and the king. Foreshadowing? Anyways, the king has seemed like a douche since episode 1. Arslan seems like he's going on a journey, basically alone. The main cast will probably defect and join him. Overall, pretty excited for whats upcoming. |
| Arslan has gotten pretty ballsy since the start of the series. That King is extremely harsh. Wtf. |
 |
| the king is such a beast. Gieve why you had to shoot the poor horse man. Well his father was a dick and exiled him. |
 |
| So far, this is AOTS. I am really liking it, even more then S1. So his father felt threatend by him, and thus exiled him. Now a new chapter begins. Btw, am i the only one who didn't notice the sound problems? |
| What an ending! Really loving this more than season 1. |
| Gotta admit, Arlsan really improved as a leader and as a fighter, bravely charging into the fray even if it was really reckless. The VA does a great job to convey Arslans personality props to that. Like always Narsus is scheming behind the scene and outwit the opponent, I really hope someone of equal IQ will appear and pose as a threat and destroy his plans for once. Glad Grieve is back even though I hate his skirtchasing I like him playing music and fighting. Arslans father!? is the most dumbest king ever, instead of praising his son and soldiers to raise the moral and maybe join forces he rather be a dick. I dont even get why he thinks that way. Anything Arslan wouldve done would be wrong in his and he would be a traitor so yeah I wont shed a tear if this fucker is dead. |
| Damn the battle music this season is awesome. I hope someone kills Andragoras soon (it would be awesome if it was Arslan, but it will probably be Hermes). Well, anyway it looks this will bring them some sea adventures, looking forward to that. Also, the CGI of the soldiers is driving me crazy, I really hoped this would change this season, but I guess for nothing. |

Deleth said: DragonSlayer_19 said: Because first and foremost , they are the king's subordinates. Arslan was just acting as a proxy before the king arrived as daryun said. Plus arslan told him to stand down when he opposed the king. Actually, this is debatable. Large parts of Arslans army are not Parsian soldiers, they were former slaves and other people he recruited and trained. Andragoras just seized them. These are people who have little to no reason to follow Andragoras. As for the rest, without Arslan there would be nothing for Andragoras to return to. The fortress would've fallen, the few commanders and their troops who are part of Arslans new army wouild be scattered if not having been wiped out. So basically Andragoras is currently seizing an army which in large parts has no reason to follow him, nor be loyal to him. You can make the case for the commanders and their troops but they're only a part of Arslans forces, the rest shouldn't follow the king at all nor have much reason to fight for him. Which means this might come back to bite Andragoras in the ass quite soon, because even if the soldiers stay with him he does not have the ability to inspire Arslan has shown nor does he have the admiration/trust of many of the soldiers and he'll throw the strategian out alongside Arslan. In all likelihood, he will fail as he has before and force Arslan to start all over again after Andragoras lead Arslans army to destruction. Actually, quite a large part of the army are remenants of the main army and Kishwards army from peshawar. Honestly, i don't find the king's request much unreasonable. I mean the army has been fighting like what 3 nations ? Turan, luistania, and sindhura, not to mentions the treacherous parsian army. So there is some sense in rounding up additional 50K men to secure their win and retake the capital. I was referring to knights and cavalry captains to being his subordinates. They all followed him originally and we saw that the beginning of S1. It was logical for them to follow arslan as he is the heir to the throne after andragoras whose fate was mostly to be dead after the fall of the capital and being taken by silvermask. Andragoras sees this as a win-win situation . If arslan rounds up an army, all the better to retake the capital. If arslan dies, well he doesn't care if he dies since we saw big hints he isn't his biological son and was indifferent to him before, and now that he has seen his grow which makes him a bit worried. Having him die means less threat to his throne that he killed his brother for. Andragoras from the beginning is made to be the embodiment of what luistanians hate about parsian rule (tyranny,indifference,barbaric, and slavery). Arslan by letting his father sit on that chair is clearly handing over the authority to his father and told daryun to step down, but he wasn't expecting that hard of a mission to be given to him instead of marching together |

| Well now, now we see why there was a navel battle in the opening... The king is a prick. |
| 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. |
| wow he going to exile him omg |
| That was honestly a very good episode, so much happened without feeling like it was rushed. I'm glad this isn't turning into some rushed arc because it's only 8 episodes. OP spoils that everyone follows Arslan though. |
 |
| Narsus is so OP. Pls nerf. He even knew Arslan would charge in by himself. Reminds me of Griffith. I'm glad Gieve joined up with them. His interactions with Farangis are always fun. |

| As a man who watches Game of Thrones. Arslans stupid and blind actions peeved me. But the fact that he was actually being a badass makes up for that kinda.. It was a solid episode and this show is being good. I just have peeves with it but Arslan Senki is the FE of Anime not GoT of Anime so I shouldnt be judging like that. I really want more shows like this. Medieval stuff is my fave!!! |
