THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Damn, I guess Arthur is pretty powerful? At least by the way he demonstrated his powers this episode. Why does his excalibur-like attack remind me of Saber?

One thing for sure though is that they are taking the journey to Divine Gate pretty seriously by the looks of it. I'm somewhat baffled by the strength gab between certain characters though. Loki's also such a bastard with his tricks.

So tons of them died and Arthur turned evil/possessed/whatever. k. Honestly it feels like stuff happens in this just cause. No reason, just cause. Woulda been better as a vidya game.

Lots of "Gate" before reach the final one. So it means there'll also be lots of minions and Mini-boss before reach the final one. and no checkpoint at all

BL Moment, anyone?

It's totally unreasonable....

Arthur is kinda annoying pretending to be a king doing things that supposedly must be done...

So, everyone is killed by those Gods who came of nowhere and Arthur becomes evil at the end? So far really dissapointing.

When that Oz guy started to scream why the humans defied the Gods I started to laugh. Akira Ishida sounds really funny.

As expected...the role of the Civilization Dragon girls get replaced by the Norse Gods in the anime.
Plenty of useless changes to the story yet again..

Note: they never really die, all 12 of them will get healed by the Disease Gods and they get a new wardrobe change for the Golden Dawn(Grimoire Cult) and Great Hope(to save Evil Arthur) arcs

Only if this shitshow gets more than 12 eps, which I really hope it doesn't. It's looking pretty irredeemable at this point

Same, this anime is such an uninteresting snorefest.

Well a bunch of them died and Arthur turned evil at the end. That's a pretty good summary of what happened in this episode.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

The opening is the only reason I'm still watching, a bunch of nameless characters with no development getting slaughtered and I was supposed to feel something for them?

The story is confusing and uninteresting, I don't even know what's happening anymore. The 3 MC's were pretty damn useless this episode, just sat around to act shocked as their allies are being sacrificed so they can get to the gate.. *yawn*

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking this.
Up until now I've been giving this the benefit of the doubt - I've been thinking that it's probably just me and that I should pay more attention so that I don't fele so lost.

But after this...I have no idea what in the fuck is happening. Who were all the people who just died?
Why was the guy in the top hat screaming "I DIDN'T WANT IT TO TURN OUT LIKE THIS?!" Who even is he?
Why did Loki attack Arthur, and why's Arthur suddenly killing his friends?
What were the three MCs doing?
Did they destroy the Gate already?
Just...What?

If someone wants to explain to me what this is all about, right down to the basics, I'd appreciate it. Because I cannot make any sense out of ths pile of messy trash.
It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether!

Srsly..what's is going on. I don't get it anymore. I tried really hard to understand the plot, but after this ep it's over. First 15 min, some chars with no development get killed by random norse gods (was Thor female wtf ?!) who were summoned by oz?! This "gods" don't get any plot, only some stupid one liners. Heck I even was wondering the got some va. And then there is the divine gate.. was told it is so difficult to reach, yeah sure..

And the MC are running around do nothing (I think the studio need a minimum quote for screen time with them lol), some lame back story from some guy named lancelot, Lokis magic puppet show, evil Arthur .. ah whatever.

Where were the fairy's ?? Lol /dumped

For a series I don't like, I'm actually upset how this turned out.

I didn't really give a shit about the other character deaths since I knew nothing about them.

The thing that upset me was how Arthur is evil now. Which means it is up to our cringy trio to save the day, yuck.

So, basically, we barely know the Knights of Round, and now they're dead. Kden.
Also, the cake was a lie (again). Kden.
Also, brainwash? Kden.
So, what now?

dam I was hoping for some betrayal from the knights of round but guess their names were used just for the sake of having a so-called King in the story. aexpected Loki to forcibly make Arthur take the sword (what's the name of it btw?) for sake of Loki being a bigger asshole.

they're still hiding a lot of the story, so everything better get tied in

seriously I know it's sad that a lot of the characters died and all but, there's been so little character development that i'm not even sure who died quite.

I swear i'm seeing half of the deceased for the first time.

what I'm saying is it's hard to make a death scene potent and epic if you don't know any of the characters.

My toughs exactly. I mean, I really thought that people would die and stuff, but that was SO FAST WTH WHO WERE THESE PEOPLE? They killed everybody in the show, ok.

I'm watching this anime just because of the nice characters (I mean, did you guys saw OZ? With the characters from the Wizard of OZ? I loved that! Even Toto!), because I really dunno if I get wtf is going on XD

BRING MOAR COOL CHARACTERS
(and kill all of them in one episode, I guess :S)

I don't have enough words in two different languages to describe how bad this episode was.

Rushed, inconsistent, confusing, underwhelming, unreasonable and as FDGde said, I'm also tried really hard to understand the plot but until now it looks non-existent for me.

The last thing I recall being this bad was Chaos;Dragon, oh boy, that show was terrible and if things don't improve(somehow) this one will go into that way very soon.

What even the fuck is this mess of a plot they just introduced? Half the stuff going on seems like random bullshit to me.

I also feel like the art and animation quality just dropped with this episode.

That was uninteresting and entertaining that I fell half-asleep in the middle of the day.

I question why I'm still watching this.
