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


They go in the order of Fire, Water, Wind, Light, Dark and None
Surtr, Sigurd, Höðr, Odin, Hǫgni and Hervor.
The Gods were supposed to go and torture and kill party members of each main characters...after they each deal with Shakespeare's creation.

The Knights all get gravely injured by Civilization Dragons instead, whom Lancelot then kills all of the dragons..

Fairy Queens, IDK..looks like they will pop up next week and not to mention Ginji's group are missing, possibly doing things off screen with the anime's non-existent Will o'Wisp, Shadow and Zero

So they found the divine gate just like that :o
Here I was expecting some big adventure.

So the knights get massacred by Gods, Didn't really feel anything. Couldn't care less for the episode or the characters.
Our Main protagonists were completely useless and played no role in anything, It's like they were there just for the sake of them being the protagonists.

Well at least some of those abilities looked good.

What bugs me the most is that Aoto and his friends just followed Arthur everywhere unharmed and without fighting one bit just because...? because of what actually? I guess in the end it will be sth like "Oh yeah I need Aoto for this plan to work out so he was not allowed to die" =/
The plot is really bland more than that to be honest it's just fighting and talking about a gate and throwing around random terms or names that are associated with norse mythology.
In addition to these massive plot holes I don't get the characters anymore like Aoto and his crew each had a wish they wanted to have granted by the gate but Arthur is like "Nope gotta destory that gate" and everyone is just okay with that like what the hell..

Thanks for the info. I already read somewhere (about twin story) something like that was supposed to happen. Too bad they have not taken it over. Seems to be a nice idea for the plot.

I was wondering too lol Let's say he entered by another gate with nothing in the way and somehow ended up ahead of them

Also, what ever happened to that replica girl that made, Aoto, her master?

Well he randomly took her in so of course they would randomly forget her as well

I'm actually surprised this show still has such a "high" score considering all the blatant flaws...

Exactly my thoughts.

The only thing I really am curious about at this point is whether the next episode will be worse than the last one. This one set the bar pretty high. Can't wait to see the next one.

Akane is annoying , Midori has a stupid motivation and Aoto is the most boring and lame protagonist of this season! but the worsts things are the narrator and the ghost kid with his stupid poesy! the only reason to watch this show is for appreciate more the othe animes that i am watching.

Its sad all the knights died but at least I got to see them fight(a little???). Also, I did expect it but I still literally screamed when possessed Arthur put his sword through Lancelot. RIP

I'm still pretty confused by the plot and all these characters coming out but I'm just going to go with it in the end.

Honestly, at the start there was at least a little potential but now this is just plain dumb. They're pulling out every cliche in the book and just tossing it in half the time without valid reason of any sorts and just brush it off and move on to ruining itself more. Any plot they had they just threw in the shredder.

Main characters are awfully cookie cutter as well as the betrayels you can see miles away. RIP everybody. Oh at least there's akane's dad. Still doesn't make up for this shit show of an episode, lol.

Only going to keep watching because we're already more than halfway through now. But wow, I don't expect anything but disappointment at this point.

What the fuck even just happened!? I can't even comprehend what is even happening and I've tried really hard to understand the plot of this damn anime. Let's just kill off the majority of the cast in one single episode without any build up?

I don't even fully understand the world they live in, who's supposed to be on who's side, anything. This seems like it was supposed to be some dramatic final, but I didn't even care about the characters that died. Holy fuck this anime has become a train wreck.

What. The. Actual. Fuck?

This series started out promising but then the plot just got confusing and then all these potential characters were introduced just to be thrown away... If only I had time to actually remember their names and care about them.

Oh, and Arthur took a bunch of random kids with him and left his own daughter to die?

Breunor's the only character that wasn't a main that we actually knew and had an interesting backstory and he just dies without ever getting revenge or even knowing who killed his father. I'm so disappointed but at least we saw him die and not just fall...

And of course Lancelot was going to die too. His name is Lancelot. Anyone with that name is destined to get screwed over.

I'm so confused ... they just killed off all of the crew that they went in with?! That makes no sense ... not to mention what Loki's plot is for all of this? I guess he took over Arthur with his sword or something? I mean I'm sure Arthur planned for this to happen with that thing he took out of his pocket ... IDK man. I liked the Gods though, they were cool at least. Kinda weird that they had the technology to get to the Divine Gate this entire time with the zones ... what the heck lol. I guess this part isn't any better than the first half :(

I like it and I even like Aoto but this episode was a mess.

1. All 3 of the mcs are useless and irrelevant.
2. The other 3 literally just vanished and are not mentioned again
3. The gate was hyped up to be way more than it was it seems.
4. all the knights were randomly killed off
5. Breunor died....I was legit pissed as I loved his character hut somehow as high up as he fell....he managed to still be able to walk and somehow find Lancelot only to die in lancelot's arms.
6. Lancelot was killed....I was again heartbroken.
7. Let's mention how useless and irrelevant again the 3 MCs are
8. Arthur barely showed any emotion and we got the exposition to describe how sad he feels
9. Arthur, who is portrayed to be a smart and cunning man, claims to not be manipulated by Loki...touches a sword Loki leaves behind and is possed.
10. The 3 main characters are useless and irrelevant....it needed to be said a 3rd time.

I was quite disappointed but I will say I loved the Gods and wanted more. But damn Lancelot and Brenour were killed :(

I am utterly disappointed in this anime. They died just for the sake of it. It doesn't make sense. Lack of continuity makes it even worse. And among all this nonsense, I somehow ended up caring for Breunor. He has to die, right... *sigh*

Watched up to episode 3, really forcing myself too. Then I started reading these review threads.

The story is just too unconvincing and very uninteresting. This anime should be called Divine Unreal Emo or something, and I am not saying about this episode, this in general has a very bad writing, the anime tries too hard but even trying that hard it can't acomplish to make itself a convincing let alone interesting.

And just like this horrible movie one forces oneself to watch till the end "because heck i already watched half the movie, maybe it will get better!", the same seems to be happening here.

I have been reading every thread here with people saying "ooh next episode will be better" or "oh yeah can't wait for next episode, it should finally pick up!"

It never gets better, it won't get better, I think even people with real depresion and emo issues in real life look at this and laugh at how dumb and forced it is.

Right?! I was thinking the same!
I thought that the gate appeared when someone was in distress or to someone with a great and pure wish, you know, things like that...but apparently you can just go there walking :S

Kinda messy. Party got pwned. Lots of ded we barely know. Bring a healer next time. Some fights were pretty cool though. Why those 3 kids there? Plot forgot the other 3 kids. Arthur left a cross, maybe it's a gift for this "Santa"?
Oz was funny. Maybe he needs to see Dorothy to calm down & gain some optimism.
Biggest surprise was Red boy's dad alive as some scientist working for Loki.

What was that? "I'm not being manipulated by you" *grabs sword anyway*

Although I have to say this episode was kinda unexpected considering the time we are at. Still half way to go and the thing that seemed like the main objective in the beginning was attempted and failed.

So it's not about Arthur reaching/destroying the gate? What is it about then? Well now they are probably fighting to defeat Arthur or get him back to how he was before but this feels way too generic. Didn't expect that at all.

So all 12 knights died of just like that, fair enough they were up against gods, so huge strength gap, but I didn't even know most of these characters so it didn't really have the impact they were trying to give. So reaching the Divine Gate already

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

Wow. This episode was a doozie. I don't think I've laughed this hard at people dying before, so this show is clearly breaking new grounds.

Loki was a badass, as per usual. Let's be real here; 80% of why I'm still watching this anime is because of him.

My favorite (obviously sarcastic) part of this episode is when Tris tells Arthur to get to the gate, and faints. A few minutes later, we see her bleeding. WTF HOW IS SHE BLEEDING? WAS SHE SHOT OR SOMETHING?

tbh, i'm enjoying this anime even tho the story is all over the place or "Messed up" imo. i wonder why i enjoy this. probably because of the soundtrack....

overall, it was a meh...episode yet mysteriously i enjoy it. there goes the little girl....what a cruel god....to killed a little girl......Oz didn't show any mercy......

what's inside of it ? nothing ? HAHA!
speaking of divine gate, isn't it similiar to Yggdrasil ?
i'm thinking the gate itself is a god........well, either way, i don't really care...since the story is all over the place. but seriosuly, i wonder why i enjoy it :/
