So far, this show has my favorite opening this season.
I really like the action and character design and the weapons. The art of this show is really cool.
The fan service gets in the way a bit though. I have high hopes for this one!

It's fast passed but similar to the manga which is nice i hope they will keep it up.

Have to say that Tigre lived in a good looking house it's looked pretty unique like it was build with two bridges in it.
The anime army seems in trouble right now but a lot can still happen.

Yeah, I am currently past this part in the LN and dropping this for sure, because they keep shitting up the adaptation horribly. Its as if the writer/director of this forgot he has to adapt the LN and started to adapt equally as dumbed down manga version.

Whoever studio is adapting this should just go out of business.

madan's anime as a stand alone it might be decent but as an adaptation of the LN its far from being fine. When all world building, politics, economics and methodology is removed as well as for the most part removing the character development and character interactions that take place in the source material leaving the bare bones or even less to keep the story moving thats not fine. Also anime left a lot of questions that were not only answered in LN but in alot detail.

^This.

I am pretty sure no one should watch this for generic ecchi. , but because the setting and the way it all develops is fascinating. From what I hear that WAS the main selling point of the LNs and anime makes it look like "yet another one" of shallow generic harems that plague every season.

People that are complaining about the skipped scenes most of them were unnecessary and they want to interest new fans so the made the first ep end on a dramatic moment.

They are missing some of the details they made this LN stand out but this is the start of series wait till we are a bit more in as they want to make the start exciting to get new fans then they can hopefully expand the content.

Didn't Elen win prevously 5.000 vs 25.000 or so? Tigre and her are on the same side now, they got the advantage of knowing the terrain (well, not if she storms off without Tigre..), and they know the enemy is there, the enemy doesn't except resistance. The commander was already taking out, too..so where's the problem?

If all else fails behold the power of plot.

So what happened to Zion? Did they corner him in Tigre's manor? I mean it's pretty much the only structure in that corner of the town so it's impossible to escape except of course if he jumped down the water. Capturing the enemy commander is tantamount to winning the battle so is Elen charging at the enemy simply to annihilate and clean up every single one of them?

Amazing scene where Tigre shot the enemy's hand with an arrow, it was really epic.
Another amazing scene when Tigre catches the arrow and then shots the enemy's archer =D

I don't think so, if you're meaning Tatsuya then there's no comparison possible between Tigre and him, Tatsuya is, almost literally, a god compared to everyone else in the anime, he's way too strong compared to the other characters unlike Tigre, there's a lot of characters stronger than Tigre, not that he's strong though, he's more like precise, intelligent and has good agility, he isn't powerful at all.

Pretty good episode, I started having high expectations because of this episode.

The first episode is rushed as fuck and now this? I can't keep up with the pace. There's also slight edition in the plot to made it goes faster. 12 episode.... Maybe it will end with Brune Civil wars? Well, if they don't skipped much, we might reach Asvarre arc.

Epic episode. Tigre shooting that guy in the hand and catching an arrow was bad ass, he definitely slays with that bow. Titta is cute, but Elen is still best girl. Next episode should be very epic, I'm a sucker for series like this.

They definitely slowed down the pacing for this episode, which is a good thing.
As for the LN readers, I know a lot of you are pissed, but give the show a bit more time. Granted I too was pissed with the pacing for the first episode, but they sorta fixed it this time around. As for the world-building and politics/war strategies/tactics, given what they did with the flashbacks this episode round, I wouldn't be super surprised if we actually went back to all of that once this conflict is over, considering that the political and strategical side IS a huge part of what makes this LN so popular.

As for this episode, I'm glad everyone seems to be enjoying it as much as I do. Loved the rape-block, and the "return arrow to sender" was a complete masterclass! That said, we didn't actually see any fighting yet, so next episode will be even more fun to watch. The Vorn heirloom just amped up Tigre's skills by like 10,000%. Can't wait to see him duke it out with the two dragons! XD

Next episode really can't come soon enough!

You're the commander of a force of 3000. You've taken the town with little resistance and need to send a message, but the population has already run away, so what do you do?
A) Do something vicious like setting your dragon on them.
B) Leave your men behind and go househunting to get your kicks.
C) Rape the maid.

I really don't want to dislike this show, but if we're going to make the enemy a bunch of caricatures, it's going to be a rather dull story.

Oh! The small Nanoha...oops! The city's main character is saved! XD
Episode a bit slow, but it was not so inflated by fanservice, and the bad guy was a real bastard!
Drawings not bad, not exceptional in some places but not milamento much.
Good animations, Studio Satelight is doing a good job for now.
Good also the opening and the ending, nice OST.
Curious to see what combines our archer...

The LN goes far more indepth into what is going on why Tigre is even there. It takes what essentially looks like "generic ecchi set up" and gives it actual depth to the point that the whole world feels alive. If this was faithful LN adaptation, events of this episode would be somewhere around Ep 4 to 5.

This second episode is much more interesting than the first episode, so I'm optimistic it will get better. The first episode seemed so average and ordinary but this one had an interesting progression, with the whole defending his home town. The maid is so brave D: Holding down the fort ;_; Super cute!

This could have been better than the first episode if the maid didn't get so much time instead of Ellen.

I had to admit i was getting pissed-off to the part the maid almost got rape...then an arrow just suddenly got that asshole prick right in the hand, and not to mention that was pretty cool for him catching the arrow and returning it to the one who shot it..nice episode again...i hope that this keeps up..and maybe if i get impatient, i'll start reading the manga :D

try the novel if you gonna, it's way better.

thanks, i'll try reading the novel if i get motivated, it's just these days it's like i'm way too lazy if i don't watch or see illustrations (illustrating the actions) other than reading...

Lol clearly you don't read the manga then. And also haven't been paying attention to any of the female characters behavior.

But that's ok. We need people like you to hate on popular things so then we can hate on you.
