| Fights were ok. Idk… feels like I've seen this already. 4/10 |
| 俺の命を百合に。 Currently translating Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke o - Atelier no Koibito-tachi -- when bored. Above visual novel is 22.22% translated with progress uploaded to youtube; if you're into yuri VNs, check out my channel.  |
| Bones knows how to action~ Great episode, we got to learn who Chaika is and why she needs the remains. Sounds like a fun journey, hopefully the rest of the show stays good. 4/5 |
 |
| Abarth lost all his cool after being trapped. XD Toru vs. Nikolai was nice. Even without using the transformation, he fought well and won! -- "War is fine with me." Such confidence and determination. Toru is becoming an awesome MC. Akari intervention was nice; creating an opening for Chaika's "The Blind". So, she's gathering her father's remains to give him a funeral? O.o Toru agrees with her objective to break free of his boring life? XD Someone is observing them from afar as they move out.. Next episode: |

zilmian said: I like the the way Toru fights...kind of reminds me of Hei from Darker than Black. Well...it is Bones in the end. Yep,was thinking the same thing. I also like how he's not overpowered or pulls stuff out of his ass to win either. He actually uses viable fighting tactics and cooperates with Akari in order to get the job done. Looks like it's gonna be a fun ride. |
| dominica next episode!??!?1 |
| Hate Keeps me warm |
| Tooru wants war :O He's to badass. |
| "Even villains have standards" -Accelerator-  |
| That was an even better episode than the first one! We finally have a set up, and its still something that isn't used that often in fantasy stories. I like the fact that they are playing with the idea of good and bad, and even though Chaika says she just wants to give him a funeral, there's no guarantee she's telling the truth. Plus Toru really got to prove himself in this episode. The idea of having a hero who wants war because its the only way he can fit into society is probably something a lot of veterans with PTSD feel, I like how they are playing that into his character. Also, Chaika's speech didn't bother me as much this time, so that's something nice to see evened out. I feel like the Lord in this episode might have fallen victim to the power of the hand, he seemed to me like a druggie who was having withdraws, at least in accordance with how his voice sounded at the end... Anyway, great episode. If this series can keep up the same sort of ideas, plot, and atmosphere, we have a definite winner here! |
| I liked the action. Was refreshing to see Tooru stab the man's arm and some blood spilling from it. |
| They managed to eliminate all the humor from the manga. Not sure if that's entirely a good thing. Oh well. It was good episode, though I wanted to see Toru trick the Kliemanns into thinking he defeated Nikolai. It would've been clever at the very least. |
| "whats so special about bonzai trees?" "They are the loli of the tree world."  Inganock of the Brightest Flame |
| Great episode! good fight scenes too. |
 |
| "Chaika?" "Yes, Chaika." "Chaika." With just two words they understood the entire plan XD The fight scene was good. It was exactly how I expected a rogue/saboteur would fight. Thank you, Bones :) |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| I loved that fight. It seems so fluid and their breathing changes its awesome. Toru is the BA of the season! |
 |
| So Chaika is a princess huh. An MC that wants war? I like him already. I'm curious how she survived back then. |

| His fighting style. It reminded me of Hei from DTB. Still, the plot may still have secrets. |
| liking the fights and the MC style,but after this episode it's pretty clear they aren't good people which fine by me story so far their trying to find the remains of the Gaz Emperor to give him a funeral even if it means starting a war,still don't think it will be as simple as that. |
 |
| Very solid episode. Nice fight scene. Fairly straightforward plot, easy to understand. Some things explained. |
 |
| Woot! Epic episode this week! D: We got to see that old rich dude get his precious treasure get stolen! So, that hand was....the emperor/mage/wizard hand? owo And Chaika is the daughter of said emperor?! o-o Whoa....pretty cool info. there! x3 That flying person around the ending....spooky! D: It's good so far~! Can't wait for next week~! x3 |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| Before Chaika stated her reasoning for wanting to collect her father's remains, I was thinking it would've been pretty cool if the protagonists were actually the antagonists in the grand scheme of things This is fine too though Can only move foward from here |
| Dropped. |
| not really sure how i feel about this anime yet, it hasn't exactly captivated me so far, an okay episode, definitely enjoying the BA MC, but the rest was a little meh |
Takuan_Soho said: dmrch said: Shakkin-shitsuji said: I really have a lot to learn with kanji.... Thank you for the answer! You're welcome. But I had to explain more about it. Sorry. Maybe, the artist himself designed that the title "棺姫" is read as "Hitsugi". All of native speakers of Japanese can read it as "Hitsugihime", but cannot read it as "Hitsugi". That pronunciation about it would be only in this work. Don't worry about your kanji skill with this title! Ah, you are starting to reach the "oh dear god" stage of reading Kanji, which generally happens when you realize that NO ONE in Japan really knows how to read Japanese names until they hear them. That is why so many animation has the person say which Kanji their name has when they say their name. The only reason why most Japanese can read most names is solely because of experience. Basically one has to remember that Kanji are not phonetic, they are ideograms. It is the idea, not the sound that is important. 棺姫 means Coffin Princess, however since that is not exactly a word that people speak, until the writer explains how to read it, no one in Japan could pronounce it with any degree of accuracy. That the writer focuses on the reading of coffin and ignores the reading for princess (which is what the two characters mean), is probably the writer expressing a subtle emphasis. The "coffin" is more essential than the "princess". It also forms an ambiguity, the title based on kanji meaning would be "Coffin Princess Chaika"", but since the reading has only coffin, if one were to read it aloud, without the seeing the kanji, the title would be "The Coffin's Chaika", not "the Coffin Princess Chaika". Based on how this story has developed, I have no doubt that this was the writer's intent. Reading the title "the Coffin's Chaika" suggests a lot of different things doesn't it? But it gets lost in the translation. This is what makes Japanese such a rich language full of subtlety, but it is also something that drives people schooled in any phonetic language bat crazy (myself included). I know the feeling. When I was studying Japanese in college, trying to learn kanji was such a headache. I always butchered it because one subtle mistake writing kanji essentially gives it a whole new meaning. |
| Several things to take away from this episode, most of which has already been stated. 1. Man, this has some of the best action scenes in an anime I've seen in a while. I get tired of anime that keep resorting to "overpowering spells/special moves" in order to win. It seems like Toru and Akari resort to good old-fashioned outwitting your enemy in battle. I'm still interested in what exactly the "Iron-Blood Transformation" specifically is supposed to do though. 2. "Chaika? Yes, Chaika. Chaika." I don't even know how to respond to this exchange, other than it made me chuckle. Then again, I can't really fault it because I know I've said some things in moments where I don't even know why I said it, so...kudos to Bones? *shrugs* 3. Looks like the plot is finally starting to take off and make some semblance of sense. I didn't get a good feel for this anime after the first episode, but this one seemed to hit a little harder in the plot department. I have a good feeling about this one. I like the plot and I like the characters. 4. Are the protagonists actually antagonists or anti-heroes? You have to wonder about a MC that states that he doesn't mind war. Overall, I'm thoroughly enjoying the characters and the plot. It still needs some development but so far, I can live with what still needs to be explained. This is quite an exciting series so far. |
| a main character who actually doesn't mind war ? damn, haven't seen that in ages (or actually ever). |
| Another Male lead that seems to be pretty good, more of an anti-hero type of guy. I would put this so far probably the 5th best anime I'm watching this season but that isn't an indictment on the series because this season is so jammed pack with so many great animes so far. |
  |
| finally, i have a MC who wants to start a war for the lulz |
| Just an anime fan, doing what an anime fan does |
KHRoxas said: not really sure how i feel about this anime yet, it hasn't exactly captivated me so far, an okay episode, definitely enjoying the BA MC, but the rest was a little meh +1 The action sequences are excellent, the fighting styles are natural and fluid, and they don't just nail each other with over-powered special moves/spells one after the other until someone decides to pull an even stronger one out of their ass. So, that part I'm enjoying. However, the rest is just meh. Bleh. Not a whole lot jumping out to grab me here. Chaika is annoying, can't really say anything else about her, she's just annoying. Plot... Well, they're just starting to introduce the plot, so I can't say much. Characters outside the main three? Wait, what characters? Everyone except the main three have been cardboard cut-outs, they all talk the same and think the same. They have no life or personality of their own. They appear, serve their purpose, and then you forget about them until they appear again. I'll give this one another episode or so, probably a couple unless next week is just horrible. But, it seems like this is the second series this season to be added to the "may be dropped" list. |
| Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me. |
| Akari: "Chaika?" Chaika: *nods head* "Yes. Chaika" Akari: "Chaika" Umm.. lolwut? So her real name is Chaika Gaz.. daughter of Emperor Gaz. Dodging the food cart felt extremely pointless. >_> Eh, so the Tooru wants war. heh, this'll be interesting. |
 |
| Something tells me that Chaika is being used like a puppet for someone else, she may actually believe and intends to do just like she said to put her father in his resting place but i think it is actually a scheme put by somebody else to either revive the king or to gain his infinite power. This is supported by the intro in the beginning of the series. A Mc that actually wants a war? lol this is a first in any anime series defiantly an interesting plot twist. There is flare of mystery and suspicion in this show an di like the fact it is toying with us of who is actually right or wrong, i will keep watch |
| Sooo the two siblings decided to join Chaika and yeah the two are baddass at some points. Its kinda meh that the government (sort off) misunderstands Chaika and her motives. Why? |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
SweetCoconut said: Sooo the two siblings decided to join Chaika and yeah the two are baddass at some points. Its kinda meh that the government (sort off) misunderstands Chaika and her motives. Why? Well it's not as much as they misunderstand than it is about her lineage in general. The idea is probably to kill the king and all successors to the throne. |
| "whats so special about bonzai trees?" "They are the loli of the tree world." Inganock of the Brightest Flame |
| Cool action. He was being extremely selfish there. Bring war just because he is bored and he is fine with it? What about others? Man, think about them too. Overall, good episode. |

This is what makes Japanese such a rich language full of subtlety, but it is also something that drives people schooled in any phonetic language bat crazy (myself included). Thank you. That's what I wanted to tell about it. I want to add something into it: There's a possibility that the writer decided the title also by a pronunciation. "Hitsugi no chaika" has more catchy sound than "Hitsugihime no chaika" in Japanese. To be honest, pronunciation of "Hitsugihime" is troublesome. And "Hitsugi no chaika" is very comfortable to pronounce in Japanese because it has seven syllables. |
| I guess she will talk like this forever ... Meh episode, nothing special really. I'm disappointed so far. I hope that the journey will bring more an adventure-feeling which I particularly like. |
 |
| the tank driver got skills, Gillette is too nice guy, Toru and Akari are quite cool 7 more lords to go? |
TragicRomance said: you kitten me right now? are you kiddin me right meow?Cool action. He was being extremely selfish there. Bring war just because he is bored and he is fine with it? What about others? Man, think about them too. Overall, good episode. this guy doesn't care about others lol. |
| Chaika very kawaii, like the way she talks I also like the personality of Akari episode was full of action by the way will remain so high expectations in this anime ________ Chaika muito kawaii, adoro o jeito como ela fala também gosto da personalidade de Akari episodio foi cheio de ação pelo jeito irá continuar assim grandes expectativas neste anime |
  |
| He must of had a thousand swords in his house for just that occasion. |
My Candies:     |
| Dem knives and swords and cupboards flying around LOL Akari's pretty cool. (smashing everything in the room lolol) On a side note, my jaw dropped when i saw the interval screen, it's too beautiful omg |
| Much better than episode 1 This season is full of good anime |
