| Great episode!!! Improvement from the first They ended right as it was getting really good though! :) |
| Very good episode, with a lot of comedy. 9/10 |

| It's not even a battle. It's a slaughter to pit such primitive forces against modern era weaponry. I laughed so hard when they dropped artillery onto them. 10+ miles away. |

| I'll say the art for the anime is a lot better than the manga, I haven't looked at LN art so I wouldn't know however. |
| Pretty good second episode. I think this is a keeper. The trap set by the Imperials was really wicked. The way they covered the USA's ass (potential involvement) for now was pretty ridiculous though. In reality, the USA won't simply suck on their thumbs when there are chances of getting hand on new resources. It's a fantasy story, so let's just let it slide for now. |

| still weird.. and not that good.. hopefully next episode actually shows something interesting. |

| I like how one day they slaughter tens of thousands of people, and then the next they're like 'let's go out and make friends'. I haven't been in war, but they seemed just a little too unconcerned immediately following that massive bloodbath. But it's a pretty good show so far, and i'm glad the blonde elf chick showed up like i hoped, if only for a moment. Also, i liked the evil, resource hungry Americans. F*** those guys. And man did that battle bring back memories of playing Civilization. I never get my units upgraded in time. |

| I really liked the large scale conflict feel to it. It's awesome! I hope they can maintain that. I will be sad if they replace the large scale conflict with the small scale one(female characters fighting for the protagonist's love, maybe?). But I do not mind if those conflicts exist side by side. Oh, and that CGI dragon was pretty cool compared to the one in Chaos Dragon. Takuan_Soho said: From an aesthetic viewpoint I have to disagree. While of course the development of a story should improve upon what was previously shown, this is very different from saying "this is better". Having never heard of this series before watching the first episode, I can say, no this was an "improvement". The first episode was fantastic, it created the scenario that made this episode great. The second episode ran with what the first created. I don't want to belittle this accomplishment, but I also don't want to not give the first episode its proper due. From the aesthetic standpoint? Is there any difference? I think it's even better since we could see the Imperial City. Of course this episode was based on what's going on in the first episode, because that's what a first episode does, establishing what's what with the anime & an introduction. If what you mean is there's no plot point that changes the course of the story, then that's not even a legitimate thing to be criticized. |

| I like anime. |
| Well, they got it coming, you come invading our world and killing our people, you can't complain if we come to yours and fuck shit up. |
 |
| Great episode. Better than the first and even that was quite good. I especially loved how the medieval army was decimated. |
 |
| Really great episode! This is the best anime this season, incredibly entertaining! Can't wait for the next episode 9/10 |

| That king must have some sort of secret weapon, otherwise he's a giant fucking moron. |
 |
| I'll kill you if you badmouth my waifu. Best line. Hahaha. I guess on what we are seeing, technology is winning against the barbarians, even the dragons are getting shot down. I can't wait to see some equilibrium once sorcery/magic is announced. |

| Americans: RESOURCES! Japan: Lets investigate their culture and politics (after killing 120,000 people) They supposedly sent in some scouts before, but their first major move is to just roll in with tanks and men and get into a fight with a much inferior force? Wouldn't they send in drones and have all sorts of recon on the (potential) enemy first? I'd imagine the world would spend years investigating before even making a move. Also, I'm sure they would definitely know how the gate works before making a major move. I mean how do you go "lets see what this place is like" AFTER you just walk in and decimate over 100,000 Roman-empire age people? Yeah I get rolling in and kicking *** after being attacked, but don't pull the pacifist card after that "JAPAN **** yeah!" display and then also toss a jab at the USA at the same time. |

Don't expect too much from JSDF banzai: the anime, it's an okay entertainment when not thinking deeply about "realism(kek)" in the series. |
| 日本人はイッちゃってるよ あいつら未来に生きてんな |
| I like the pace so far. Not as much action in this episode, but I suppose the stuff shown in this episode was necessary for story development. And I love the bit where the guys were talking about magical girls and stuff while driving. |

| That war not people vs people but people with sword vs tank and bomb. They start the war first with kill the civilian at akihabara so japan strike back |
 |
| Modern army is too op and too brutal, they just massacred 120k without second thought, didn't even take captives to talk to. |
sadfacelv said: Modern army is too op and too brutal, they just massacred 120k without second thought, didn't even take captives to talk to. Can't really blame them. Those guys invaded and killed lots of Japanese people too. Although both of them are in the wrong. |

Eh I don't know what you're expecting. Should they just play the pacifist card all the way and let a MARCHING army of 100000 approached the gate and risk them entering Japan? I don't think so. Even bows and swords can kill you if you don't defend yourself So far we've only seen JSDF on the defensive position and never purposely went out of their way to invade more than the area around the gate. What exactly would you do in that situation? I'm curious.. Even if they've sent scouts before it'll be stupid if not downright idiotic to march in without proper battle preparation. Do you expect them to just go "oh we've sent scouts anyway, let's go there not bringing tanks even though we know they're a bunch of murderous barbarians riding freaking dragons"? After all it's an unknown world with known hostile residents who had just invaded your nation and kill hundreds if not thousands of people. If anything I found it quite lenient that the Japanese has yet to launch a full scale invasion to nearby villages/cities in an act of revenge and instead sent envoys in hopes of finding non-hostile locals. |

| That's a lot of casualties.. Talk about one-sided battle. Earth army too OP! Not bad so far. Dunno where will this going, like what is their main goal in this war again? Conquering? Slaughtering? Avenging? idk |

| My man Duran was loyal to the end although he was quite skeptical of the Emperor's plan on sending him and other kings to attack the hill. 9/10 episode great in politics, animation can't wait for the next episode. |
| Awesome ep. I love this series because somehow reminds me of Civilization (The Game Series). I hope i dont see Archers destroying Tanks like in CIVIII As for the battle: |
| Was a fun episode. We got to see a focus on the Imperial Politics and such. What a wily emperor, creating an "Allied Army" of neighboring countries to wipe them out in a single wave. Hi Princess Pinia Colada! And so... NeoCon Amurricah shows it's head. Considering the current Neoliberal hegemony I wouldn't be so shocked if this is how things turn out. Expanding markets w00t! Though letting Japan foot the bill on this campaign is quite interesting, might actually get the deflated Japanese economy get going again considering it's dire straights in that timeline. |
| It's been a fun episode :) It feels like it's going to get even better as the relationships start building. (I predict an accumulative harem). For a moment though I thought that Itami was gonna poison his entire recon team. xD I've got high expectations of this season so far. |

| Its great that they adapted the battle of Alnus hill. Really enjoyed. "Il kill you if you badmouth my waifu" quote of the year. |
| The Art of Shipping is no mere game. It can be small skirmishes to huge nation size wars. Of course some will claim their ship is the BATTLESHIP but they all do. This is why battles occur because of factions fighting each other to justify their favourite ship. And thus SHIP to SHIP combat occurs almost anytime even now. Beware, Threading into the Shipping battlefield will be bloody.... What are you waiting for? |
| love the ed. cant wait to meet leafa next week (: |
