| Taliesin :'( |

| Hmm.. well, I've always been slightly curious as to who that girl in the opening is : p Guess we got ourselves quite a good answer for that now : D Ahahah that was a small army, k hax xD Btw I kind of like Morgan's successive attack rate, she's actually quite fast : o And Taliesin feels like singing, then he dies, and everyone goes baaaaaaaaaaaaaw.. Oh well, he didn't really do any good anyway, so this way at least he could be a bit useful : ) Next time, it seems we'll get to see an epic sword, kthnx sounds cool |

| That was fast.... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| No, Taliesin.. Well, at least they won the fight. |
 |
| noo he cant be dead :( |
 |
| :( Oh man Epona singing at the end was really sad, I felt so sorry for her. |
 |
| o-olll he died ? |
     |
| I like the content but the pacing kinda sucks |
| I liked this episode. Finally we know why and how arawn became like he is. Taliesin singing the song of origin was surprising. Im looking forward to episode 22 |
 |
Kvakond said: I like the content but the pacing kinda sucks Yeah, they should have taken another episode for Arawn's past and another one for the fight, the song of origin part was rushed. |
 |
| This episode felt like we where missing something important...almost like there was supposed to be an episode explaining Taliesin's past but they forgot to add it or something lol. I mean...he has the ability to use the song of origin? It would have been nice if they didn't randomly start having people use powers without explaining why they have them. Other than that I have no other gripes about this episode. |

| Maybe Taliesin don't died. That small dragon can save him.... |

| Good episode, with some small developments. It felt a bit rushed though, and direction could have been much better. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| This was probably the best episode until now. Yes the fight in the mountains was rushed(i really wanted to see them meeting the giants and convincing them to help) and ended in no time but still good. I was very impressed on how they made the story of Lucifer/Arawn fit the story of Lucifer/Devil that felt from grace with God. Off course in this story they reversed the part of who the good guy really is. I guess many fanatic Christians and Jews will get pissed of watching Tears of Tiara. But it also fits with him being consider to be a devil king and fits with the name Arawn that according to Welsh mythology he was the king of the otherworld and friend of Pwyll. And as i set if we put all the other things that they used: 12 Spirits-12 Gods of Olympus Myrdin- Greek mythology Prometheus who gave fire to humans by betraying the 12 Gods. Also the name Myrrdin was the name of a Welsh bard that had legends of being a sorcerer and is believed to be the origin of Merlin myths. Arthur-Well is obvious. Destined to be the king. And from the preview in the next episode we will have the legendary sword and all. Other things like orges, giants, dragons, fairies. Old legends,LotR, D&D staff. The whole Gaius and Caesar similarity in name and ambition also being part of an Empire with old men in the senate that he didn't like, something that was true about the real Julius Caesar. Only the ala Guts in Berserk fighting style was different. And the Roman name Octavia. After Julius Caesar it was his nephew Octavius that became the first emperor and one of the most successful. They really took things from everywhere but they generally managed to make a nice mix. |

Dark_Kain said: And the Roman name Octavia. After Julius Caesar it was his nephew Octavius that became the first emperor and one of the most successful. Actually this is more a coincidence and lack of originality in the "pseudo romans" character names. "Octavia" means literally "eight daughter" just like Octavius means "eight son" If you noticed Gaius aide was also named Decimus (lit "tenth son") Those were usual names in the partician families of the ancient Rome; they were used for those late children that were unlikely becoming the family heir and were usually imposed to seek personal fortune in military or with a marriage (and so named with the number of their birth to remind them that) Yeah i know it means "eight" because it sounds like the Greek number eight that is called "Octo", but still they could have given her any other name. Good info though. Dark_Kain said: The whole Gaius and Caesar similarity in name and ambition also being part of an Empire with old men in the senate that he didn't like, something that was true about the real Julius Caesar. Only the ala Guts in Berserk fighting style was different. This actually is due to a Geoffrey of Monmouth reference. Gaius' weapon in Tears to Tiara is supposed to be Crocea Mors (he even drops it in the game) So he actually says the name of his sword is the same as Jealous Caesars as described by Geoffrey Monmouth? But then why did they made it look so different. Wasn't that a gold sword? If that's the case and the sword is called "Crocea Mors" then it's even more interesting since the legend of Excalibur seems to come from that sword after King Vortigern put it in to a rock of iron and placed it in to the center of the London square. |

It simply is not as powerful as when an angel sings it Spoiler considering "possible" cut out content |

| ah that's how it was...been some time since I played the game |
|
| that was a lot of corpses they had collected, too bad taleisin kicked ass and destroyed them all. too bad he lost his life in the process (* sniff =( *) |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| T_T |
| I loved this episode! It was so sweet and so sad. |

 Lucifer.. |
 |
| it was a nice episode. |
     |
| This is why you don't make too much noise in the snow...the mountain doesn't like that. That just seemed way too convenient for a sacrifice, but it was sad. |
 |
| Not having seen the actual abilities of Arawn's companions in combat it does seem a little surprising when they trot them out during the short clips. In game play Taliesin is used as a second archer (after Morgan) and usually follows up the initial attack by singing a continual buff/debuff song. He's around for what seems a lot longer in the game and seems more of an important character there, so you feel his sacrifice a bit more. Again because of harem nerfing, they indicate a possible relationship between Epona and Taliesin which doesn't happen in the game. In a milieu where one of the main themes is that rather than trying to burn away all impurities and sitting in a circle with blank eyes mindlessly repeating the praises of the church and omnipotent god, humans should be free to live their own lives and embrace all aspects of their being, it seems a little silly to nerf the harem and avoid sex. (Just the Pagan talking here folks, nothing to see...move along...) |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
