THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
So Lux does make the transfer to class...

Lisha and him seems to connect more. Meh, pretty generic stuff.
Bunch of action aside, I was pretty bored with this episode. Philiphie's personality wasn't anything special either. The action was better than I had expected though and there's some cryptic stuff going on with the glimpses of flashbacks.

Mm, Lux trying to save people as usual. The reload on fire though.

To tell the truth, i don't really know i should be excited or disappointed.

As someone who read light novels, its cool and good that im able to see important part being animated.

So im ok even if the production came out abit bad or fast. But this episode 2 is seriously very very fast pace lol.

Huge chunk of explaination and events miss out, like the small part mention where Phil-chan being taken to experimentation and her sister the headmaster cry pleading to the court. How and why Lux's brother betray him.

Overall i don't know how to rate it yet. Reading light novel is seriously recommended =(

It didn't take Ichika ..er... i mean Lux, long to bust out his bad ass backup blade. I thought for sure he'd wait a couple more episodes to build up a little more anticipation. Oh well. Nice to his his harem is progressing nicely though. Krulcifer still best girl so far.

Didn't like Philphie in the LN and I still don't like her now. Something between the breasts size and her actions make her just...monotone and unlikable.

Kinda sad that the best part of the LN, imo, is Lux's backstory with his empire and Lerche just decides to cut most of it out.

Also I don't understand the point of the sister in the anime...in the LN she seemed more cut throat and calculating yet almost idol like...here she's just there for exposition.

It's also been a while but I coulda sworn that fight went down with more backstory than just a few yells...oh well.

Pretty intense fight. I liked the action here. Seems like the princess got ditched by her dad and got herself branded while being held captive.

2eps per LN again... And Bahamut could be so good anime... But sadly it will not even have a chance to prove that it's really good series :/

If next arc (dedicated to Krulcifer - favorite character of most LN readers) will also be butchered like first two episodes I will just drop this.

It is just me, or does the pacing in this episode was awfully too quick?

First half of the episode was boring/cliche stuff, but the second half was a lot better.

I find the childhood friend better than the Princess tbh

Didn't really care for most of the things that happened in this episode. The action was decent but that was pretty much it.

I'm contemplating putting this on-hold until it finishes so I can just watch it all the way through rather than dealing with this on a week-to-week basis. I'll give it one more episode before deciding.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

I don't really care for the story (anymore). I basically watch this when i want something light-hearted and easy to watch. Basically like the first minute and a half at the beginning of the episode.

However, reading some of the other comments has inspired me to read the LN. Seems like it has a lot more to offer.

That's because they "adapted" rest of 1st LN Volume (2/3 of book). First episode was ok (they cut out scene showing how Lux got captured - it was Krulcifer who caught him - and changed some details), in this cut out Drag-Ride that Lisha build (who cares that it was first Drag-Ride created in that times - all dragons had been found in ruins), small scene with Krulcifer when Lux woke up just before alarm started, cut why she couldn't join main fight and cut out her role in final fight (Lux asked her to use her Drag-Ride to save Lisha and so they both they started together) etc.

This is really Antimagic Academy level of butchering source material.

Edit:
I finished reading 1st Vol months ago and still remember most of this things... That was really good LN.

It was a bit fast paced and I'm hoping some of the under explained things are expanded upon later, but I'm really enjoying this one so far. This harem will definitely be one that's good for the soul. The action is pretty good and animated well enough, especially compared to others airing this season (I'm looking at you, Divine Gate and PSO2).

It's not amazing 9-10 rating quality or anything, but I like it.

Liked the Ending Song. Enjoyed the whole episode, especially between Philphie scenes with the nicknames & bed scene & Lux fighting using Bahamut. Glad this series got adapted into an anime.

Looking back at the opening song & based on a character that appears in the OP. Looks look the anime will adapt up to Volume 5 of the light novel.

Surprised he used the black sword already despite reassuring his sister [well kind of] that he wouldn't

...and here I was waiting to see how he was going to beat and/or outsmart the enemy with his wyvern....

and....well the hope for any potentially funny "I'm the black hero? you must've been seeing things" moments thrown out the window already...boo....

This adaptation is going to be a total fail. Or I would like to say so , but it's yet only 2nd episode so i'll wait because I love this series manga plot.

The plot in the anime is totally rushed.....
Episode 1 covered Manga Chapter 1 to 3
Episode 2 covered Manga Chapter 4 to 10.

LOL, they skipped all the basics....like Krulcifer suspecting Lux to have the ability to defeat Abyss and Lisha at the same time if he wanted while Lux was having his first dual.....it would have been nice if this was added to make it look all suspicious.

In the anime adaptation Krulcifer is not as sly as the manga, and is neither a mysterious character type. She is just like a innocent girl trying to find out something....Felt totally disappointed.

Well Lisha in the anime is totally cute, so I forgive it :P

I hope the coming episodes become better. But still....to have them skip so many things from manga , I wonder how much big is the plot. And I hope this doesn't end in a cliffhanger....or harem.
I am guessing a new possibility that since he is a prince he can marry not only one women right? ....

In the end i don't really mind anyway. All i can say is, see it as buy one volume light novel accompany with 2 episodes in one CD kind of situation, asking you to watch both together for greater experience Hahaha

Not sure where everyone is watching the translated episodes. But if you are watching same subs as me, some correction is needed. 1) Lisha is a princess not a queen, her aunt is the queen of new empire. 2) The target of assasination mention by Lux brother, it is not just his brother only but both Lux together will be assasinated if the people left alive. 3) Lisha drag skill is Spressure 4) Flute, not whistle?

Krulcifer or riot?

Like this episode. I even like the action scene, much better than I thought. Philluffy's voice sounds similar to Saya's voice from Asterisk War, but I like her and I had a feeling she's related to the other pink hair woman. Wow I would've never thought that Lisha would a pretty interesting character, especially since she's the first main heroine of the story, because I usually find the first main heroine in a harem series so fucking dull and boring.

Well Lux turns out to be the black hero, I bet no one is surprise about that. The harem is slowly coming together and of course the harem wouldn't be complete without the childhood friend. This series is completely devoid of any originality but it is still what I consider "watchable". The ED was pretty nice Nano.Ripe did an awesome job as usual.

[I didnt read the novel, I I have read the fantranslated manga.]

Isn't it advancing a little bit too fast? Not that I dislike it though, vs most anime that stall the plot with some unneeded fan services. I mean they got most, if not all, of what was important.

Honestly, I was expecting them to do at least 3 episodes on vol 1. This is more than a little fast, and it's going to hurt. Right now, it's more like they're adapting a summary of the story than the story itself. You know it's a problem when even people who haven't read the VN (or manga) are saying it feels really rushed. It's going to be hard to understand and appreciate the characters if they rush through at this rate.

First minute: Oh look a cliche! He has a childhood friend in his class with no personality! I've seen this before!
Oh look! Another cliche! He's normally really weak but all of a sudden he's the most OP person in the show!

Is this a walking cliche or what?

Op and ed are pretty catchy though.
Lots of cryptic stuff going on, though that is pretty generic in these types of shows its still interesting.

Meh, kinda felt like they tried to squeeze in too much into one ep. The starting was alright in terms of pace, but as soon as that bell rang literally all hell broke loose.

Kudos to the fight scene though, was pretty nice to watch. Didn't particularly enjoy this episode as much as i did with the first.

edit: and we get to see Kubo Yurika's character (Phi) today. I liked the voice acting, but the character's a little ... meh.

Anyways, I am watching this for pure entertainment and I will rate it as I see fit in different categories. So, you guys could take your "cliche words" and stick it up your ass :D

Anyways, the studio missed a lot of important information and are just rushing it *sigh* (Darth Vader's Voice) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
