| wow her breast plate just broke like that, but whats this about market and cargo? who exactly is that girl? |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Mmm Aria. |
 |
| That's right Luke, have Cecilly stay back and let you handle stuff! xD OH SHI- Seriously, they had to go ahead and break Cecilly's boob-armor .. And why didn't she have anything at all beneath it? So then, anyone except me who thinks the man in black clothes and hood is Siegfried, that knight guy in the meeting? Aria seems nice enough : D |

| I thought having a show like this, Manglobe would at least be able to deliver in animation and overall style, but no, there was a distinct drop from the first episode. I'm also very disappointed in my lack of ability in seeing that this is the type of show that has big-boobed girls' clothes randomly rip off for the sake of comedy (without any sense of irony). Oh well. |
| just watched episode 2 and i thought it was pretty good. i didnt really like the fighting part of the episode, i dont think it was anything special but the episode was still really enjoyable. ill rate the episode a 3/5, hope it starts to get better soon which i think it will since the main story plot is supposed to start next episode i believe. |
| i thought this was quite a funny episode. Luke's yell of pain especially! lol |
p r o f i l e 👀 |
| Cecily's speeches bore me...and that's annoying. Lawl But it's less annoying than the first ep. But I like the first ep better, I guess. It was a lot interesting than this one. Hopefully the story becomes a lot more interesting as it progresses. (rather than the opposite) I love Lisa and more than being jealous of her boobs when the armor cracked, she was more amazed. xD So cute. Haha~ Luke is an innocent tsuntsun. Lawl I love the ED x'3 I hate the flaws, but it doesn't bother me too much that I would wanna hang myself. Lawl xD (I hope it stays that way) Oh, I just heard Byakuya, Kakashi, Jiraiya and Elder(Chrno Crusade) xD haha~ Lastly, the best part has got to be when Luke let out a nosebleed. If only he didn't open his eyes again, maybe she'd spare him...........not. xD Although I hate the fact that they add somewhat of an ecchi in this series even though it's not really entirely needed. It's generic that way. :'/ I hope they don't do it in every episode...it can get annoying. |

| Aria looks great, I'll still give it more eps to see more of her. I just hope someone hooks up in the end. Cecily isn't that annoying to me either, I find her alright and cute. Plus I love the ED<3 |

| Well more than saying they have bad taste, the question is... how can they able to handle their favorite character like Asuka and Haruhi but calling Cecily is annoying? Doesn't calling Cecily annoying is the same calling Haruhi/Asuka the queen of annoying? |

Doesn't calling Cecily annoying is the same calling Haruhi/Asuka the queen of annoying? B-but I always thought that Haruhi and Asuka are GDODAMN annoying, especially Haruhi since Asuka at least can be cute at times... Urgh, but like Monad said, I can't ever say that I hate Lacus though, she's just too cute and her "just as planned" face hidden under that sweet profile is just FABULOUS!!! <:3 Hey wai-, I never said I thought Cecily was annoying so what the heck am I rambling about? 0-o *got caught and got back in Asylum* |

| I really doubt that the katana is the best sword ever. I'll take the jian instead. But anyways Aria seems to be the replacement weapon for Cecily's sword. And the little elf girl has a thing for giant breasts. Also I'm pretty sure that breast plate would be very uncomfortable and chafe at the skin. |

However for me, desks and walls help when your head is in pain and the only way to stop the ache is by hitting your head. Why not use a solid one? ^_^ Since I'm in front of my desk, nearest one, quite helpful when you hate what you're seeing. :'D -thumbs up- And yes, you would need to buy a friggin' rope to hang yourself! D': I dun wanna have to use my money (even if I was to die xD) just to hang myself! Oh, but maybe I can ask Zetsubou-sensei to lend me one sometime if the flaws gets totally unbearable. ;'D @CkretAznMan It's true that it would. But it's not breast then armor, it's breast then top, THEN armor. But the director said to take away the clothing once the armor breaks so that her boobies would show so that Luke gets an innocent guy's nosebleed so that Cecily beats the crap out of Luke. Just so they can fill the whole episode up. :'| Whatever freakin' happened to previews?! D'< Manglobe, you disappoint me. -bangs head on desk- D'x |

And the little elf girl has a thing for giant breasts. Also I'm pretty sure that breast plate would be very uncomfortable and chafe at the skin. Actually heard that Katana can break all medieval swords. light blades (e.g. wushu jians) are hammered down molded steel just like most other swords (Chinese weapons' pinnacle lay in pollarms). Katanas ARE a lot better than any other heavy-sword class weapon (middle-eastern damascus blade dominates the lighter version), and when exchanging blows against a medieval sword of its era it can probably chip or put a sizeable dent in the other. ...but not slice through like knife thru butter... I may be a katana fan but that's way too overexaggerated On that note, something along Saber Lily's breastplate would make Cecily's armor look a LOT better noteDhero said: Cecily is annoying and a terrible version of her archetype. Really? with extreme-end tsunderes like Louise and Shana? I rather find Cecily mild and refreshing |

| this series is a bit disappointing story-line wise, but Luke is cool! lolz ;D i'll probably keep watching this for nao but i may end up dropping it at one point unless it picks up the pace and gets a better-developed and interesting plot XD |

No sword can cut through metal like it was shown in the anime. Katanas are truly very sharp but if you think that they can slice your opponents sword in two then you are just imagining things. A sword only breaks from the impact and only if the sword was abusively used reaching it's limit or because it was badly made. And there is no better sword. Each sword has it's own fighting style and it depends on the users and the conditions. For example a katana will probably cut you hand easier than a medieval sword like the one Cecilia had but her sword can impale you and brake the armor defense more easy. |

Yes I agreed but I saw on the internet "some show called Myth Buster" that it does cut through medieval swords. Also it cuts a bullet in half from that same show. |

Yes I agreed but I saw on the internet "some show called Myth Buster" that it does cut through medieval swords. Also it cuts a bullet in half from that same show. No what you saw was a katana vs Katana. And it didn't cut through but the other sword broke. The reason it broke was because it was made of stainless steel. This material is horrible for swords. It's good for making kitchen knifes but stainless steel swords brake easily. Lot's of shops sell stainless steel katanas since they think it's just for putting it on display but if you actually try to slice things up with it, the sword will soon brake if not by the first try. Real swords should be made by high carbon steel. Also the katana never managed to cut the bullet despite the pullet being heated and the blade being used by a machine with a lot more power than the human hand. So a sword can brake but not be sliced threw. And a good sword that isn't worn out is impossible to brake. Also i have to tell you that in an actual fight the katana was more likely to brake than the sword that guy was using. That sword was big, maybe a two-hand claymore is the closest i can think and because of it's weight the impact of the hit is stronger. So if a katana and a two-hand claymore hit with each other until one breaks, there is no way that the claymore would brake first. Sorry but this is basically what you where doing. |

Real swords should be made by high carbon steel. I lol'd as soon as you mentioned Stainless Steel swords. Yeah, good for look at, easy to clean, horrible for just about anything else, doesn't even sharpen well. I practice with a carbon-steel katana and I can tell you - it doesn't even slice through wood cleanly (usually it just breaks something and send fractures all the way through), let alone steel. Mass-produced carbon-steel blades aren't quite the same quality as the master-swordsmith-forged katanas yet, but its hardness isn't that far off either. Against any greatsword of at least decent quality steel, a katana will fail first simply because the opposition has so much more cross-sectional area to reinforce its front. Once again, break not slice. |
Wani_Me said: Am I the only one who is actually enjoying the anime??? I believe there is so much potential, and since it is only 12 eps long, the story is going to pick up from next ep, till the end. Manglobe has never let me down... Don't worry, you're not alone, I too, for one, also thinks that this might be pretty good, even if it is quite generic. But well, generic doesn't have to spell bad : D |

| It was a good episode, anyone would have assumed the fight with Luke would be shortlived due to his out of the blue ability, nevertheless it was good, it was really funny when her metal braw thingy broke, best part of the episode, comedy wise. Not so much looking forward to next week, that new girl looks pretty boring, just sex appeal I guess! |

| Damn. There I was praising The Scared Blacksmith in the first episode discussion saying how it's nice to see a female protagonist that doesn't beat up the male lead in a show like this, but they have to go and ruin everything a couple of minutes into the second episode. Oh well, I guess it was inevitable. It was a good episode nevertheless and I'm enjoying the series so far. Seems like the new character turns into a sword... I sense a long monologue in the coming episodes. I hope it doesn't follow the same route Valkyria Chronicles did and introduces something too radical. |

OftheFlesh said: oh and Cecile's breastplate stands out too much, I always end up looking at it whenever she's in a scene, and I don't usually pay attention to that stuff. This. It seems to just pop out of the scene, might be the drawing. At the start I thought I was watching the wrong anime. Ah well boring episode but cute Lisa and nice finishing slash made up for it to a certain extent. |
| Horrible episode, no development at all, just a few introduction of characters. Also WTF LOLI ELF ED LOLI ELF ED LOLI ELF ED LOLI ELF ED. |
| So mystery man is up to no good. Well that's clearly obvious. I hope the story picks up soon. They've only provided a little bit of background to the world with the beginning scene, but still no significant progression in the actual story. |
 |
| this show has a pretty slow pace so far for only 12 episodes. it seems like it has potential but i dunno. i dig medieval style shows so i'll watch it regardless. i think luke is kind of a douche though. it seems like he is suppose to be a cool guy but something is just lacking imo |
 |
| I really liked it. I hope the story would be more interesting, and the story picks up soon as well. Aria looks hot to me. |
