| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hmm decent episode, they are building up more with the military roles in the series. World building seems nice too. I'm still trying to get used to the character designs, some of the blushing feels weird but whatever. Ikta also shows more of his aggressive personality but I kinda like him for that since he cares about his status. Yatori and Ikta got a moment at the end too. The whole promotion stuff to Imperial Knight really made Ikta angry by the looks of it.  |

| Iktar showing his cleverness. And things seem to be going well for them tho not everyone seems to like it. Things will get interesting from now tho. |
| Hmm they skipped a few scenes and condensed others, overall not bad though. Yatori and the princess looked exceptionally well during the throne scenes, Ikta's art style still doesn't fit him tho. |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| Ikta continues to be the best character by a looooooong shot. |
| Clever or even cunning strategist Iktar and kind-hearted Sniper Torway. That's what I get from this episode. And Yatri's always the one that stop Iktar when he lose control so far. |

| Welp, Ikta got fucked over big time. Quite the reward for saving all their asses huh? XD I remember now why I stopped reading the manga around here, I hated Yatori's manhandling of Ikta. I understand it in each case in theory, but I pretty much agree with him everytime so she comes across as an unlikable bitch, big time. |
| Ikta is clearly not very thrilled about gaining the status of a noble, a soldier, and a hero, but with his personality, that doesn't surprise me. It looks like he's getting more than what he bargained for, and even though I'm sure most people would love to be in his position, he doesn't seem happy at all. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Really liking Ikta so far and even Yatori. Guessing the princess will get some development through the series and won't be so unlikable. Wonder if these 5 will stay together in a squad or such later on. I really hate that someone already spoiled a big part of the story for me in the last episode discussion though. |

| Good episode and interesting build up. I actually expected the whole behind enemy lines period to last much longer, Surprised that it was dealt with so quickly and we even went into a 1 month time skip. I don't dislike the princess but she does overstep her boundaries quite a bit especially when Ikta is concerned. I'm interested in Ikta's past, There should be a reason why he's come to hate nobles, soldiers and heroes. |
 |
| looking at the setting and stuff, our heroes are essentially on the wrong side. |
| i get the feeling without having read the source material that they might have condensed or rushed through some stuff to get us through this episode. Iktar has an attitude and is too smart for school, but I kinda like him. He's going to be pinned down by Yatori a couple more times though with that big mouth of his. |

| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| that negotiation scene was really shortened. the military was far more cautious than that in the novels, and it was a good chance to see how much they thought out the whole thing. Oh well. Then they skipped the scene with Ikuta sleeping with a milf in the hotel as well. Looks like they want to make ikuta as a perverted virgin in the anime? I guess that fits what anime watchers like... anything else was fine, liked it. Probably partially because I appreciate the characters already by having read the novels, but still. |
 |
| I quite like this show and the way it's heading which is a shame as we are only going to get one season. Defiantly one of the better shows this season. |
| Hmm so my feelings about this show has gone up a bit since last week. I'm starting to get into it but as of right now...I hate Yatori. She comes off as one of those characters that will have your back one second but immediately do something against you for the sake of kissing ass of a noble or someone of higher position the next. I kinda hate those character types but at least it creates the drama dynamic of it all. I haven't read the source at all so I might consider doing that assuming my interest in this series goes deeper. |
| Don't believe the hype. |

It's not difficult to see that they have a very close relationship and she's trying to protect his ass, is it? No use trying to reason with them. People see what they want to see no matter how delusional it is. |
| Damn. Ikta got fucked over big time. I really like Ikta, he's really antihero-esque in a good way. I'm really interested in seeing how his past affects his way of thinking. I like Yatori but she kinda pisses me off. Then again, she might be doing it to keep the MC from saying too much or going too far and getting fucked up. Maybe not yet. |

| Don't believe the hype. |
| Yeap Ikta continues to be the best character, actually he's the only likable character thus far, Yatori on the other hand, hoping a time comes that Ikta fcking strangle that bitch, no one gets off talking shit to my dead mother and gets away with it, hoping he woulda told Yatori that he'd fcking strangle her too if she gets in his way but yeah most of the anime/novel stories its always the girl thats more powerful/stronger than the main guy so there's that, Ikta would just get manhandled over and over these coming episodes, a small price to pay to enjoy Ikta's antics. |
  |
| They kill the soldiers and take their fairy's souls :'( at least they feel bad about it :( Disguising as the enemy and using the blimp to get back to their country was a good move. Now the Emperor makes them Imperial Knights to lessen the people's worries even thou it was an intentional loss. Hime angering Ikta with her knowledge XD Just shows she is still a kid and that Ikta is a sore loser. |
 |
| A better episode than the first. MC is likeable conman with anger issues. Even though his plans were way too convenient. Whatever, fantasy military is always dumber than real military. Female protag redhead is kind of annoying, as is the naive princess. At least this should be a lesson to the princess. I hope there's no love triangle between the three as redhead is clearly MC's romantic interest and the princess showed interest in the mc too this episode. 4/5 |
 |
| I love the show so far! Yatori and Ikta are indeed pretty close and (I probably overinterprete it) but I like to think that if Ikta isn't botherred at all by Yatori shutting him up is because I trusts her to stop him, he relies on her so he doesn't have to worry about going to far since he know she's here for him and will stop him. And since she let him talk she probably agree with what he says at least a little : a complementary relationship. (Yea I'm definitely overseeing it...) |
| To be honest, this show wasn't all that bad, but I didn't find it all that interesting and don't see it holding my attention for long ( its alot better than madhouses's previous light novel efforts such as, Mahouka and Mahou Shithole). So definite drop. |
komic said: looking at the setting and stuff, our heroes are essentially on the wrong side. "Please, I'm a refugee" "oh, we get a lot of those. your country is kind of shit and everyone wants to leave. sure, we'll take you in." I guess the enemy nation isn't horrible or evil and of course, our boys kill them in cold blood (not like they had a choice but it was still messed up) the idea that the border commander wouldn't place several armed escorts on the refugees as they pass through seems like an idiotic decision. on the writer. why even write a sequence where you have you characters cleverly pass through a heavily guarded border if they don't don't do it cleverly and depend on an asspull? beyond that, I love the setting, the characters themselves, all that stuff at the end was intriguing. when i could feel it getting toward the end i already wanted to see the next episode animefan8800 said: Welp, Ikta got fucked over big time.

I understand it in each case in theory, but I pretty much agree with him everytime so she comes across as an unlikable bitch, big time. i'm sure she thought she was rewarding him in the beginning, but then when he revealed he didn't want any of the rewards she turned confrontational. that's what i thought before she started talking shit about how his family keeps getting screwed by the kingdom and his mom was forced into becoming a sex-slave with a smile on her face, and then i realized, "oh she's just a bitch" her standing by the pillar listening in to the conversation at the end, looking remorseful is the show saying like, "ah, isn't she sympathetic?" which is bizarre because like no, not even a little bit. I wouldn't mind if she was a cold-blooded backstabber, that's actually kind of cool. I hope they don't try to make her sympathetic anymore |

| I was expecting more from madhouse, but too bad I guess. The mc is interesting, but he also comes off as an angry teen at times. Like calm down with your outbursts bro. A lot of people hate the red head, but frankly I'm happy when she puts the MC in his place. If you want to have a believable Waring kingdom/empires show, then lower born characters have to be put in their place when they defy nobility/ the hierarchy. |

| Okay, with this episode I have come to multiple conclusions about this series. Number one is that this is far different from the other light novels/LN adaptations that have aired over the past number of years. This is far more a fantasy series in the vein of many popular western titles, such as the ones I mentioned in last episode's post (Mark Lawrence's works, The Gentlemen Bastards, etc.) Number two would be that this series is probably sitting just behind Re:Zero and Danganronpa (maybe a little above Danganronpa) as the series that I look forward to each week. Wow, this episode cemented that fact for sure. Number three is that I adore Ikta, Chamille and Yatori for a variety of reasons. Ikta for the fact that he fits in with the form of fantasy novel protagonist that has been becoming far more popular recently: the intelligent hero with a dark past who may or may not be in it for himself. I like Chamille because she plays the princess role better than almost any other anime princess in recent years - as shown by her usage of her five saviours as "heroes" for the public and willingness to engage in political games - while still maintaining emotional attributes reminiscent of her age. And finally Yatori for the fact that she plays the childhood friend role for Ikta with an interesting twist (for example, the fact that anytime she beats on Ikta has a valid justification behind it, rather than just a need for "comedic violence") and she also seems to be progressing towards the cool headed emotional center of the group. Whatever comes forward in future weeks has me truly excited about this one. I cannot wait to see more. |
| Seems like the Empire is the 'bad' guys here.... based on the bratty(though well written) princess, they are fighting a pointless war. Willingly lose territory because they can't bother with feeding their population. Empire civilians seeking asylum in the Republic. Republic willingly accepting them. Seems like the Empire is the oppressive regime here. I guess it's a given whenever there is 'Empire' in the name of some fictional faction, you know they are the 'bad' guys Also science seem to be a foreign concept for them. So they just developed air rifles by chance? I feel like the Republic have a more scientific process seeing how they have blimps which make me think are more advanced in general. |

| I fcks with this show. Ikta is cool af, the rest are al right. Yatori needs to chill and that snotty princess can bite the dust for all I care. I mean really, I'm gonna make you a soldier so now you have to obey us without question. fck that :/ But yeah, Ikta is this show's saving grace. He's the type of MC I like to see, smart, pragmatic, logical with a healthy bit of skepticism and a dash of cynicism. The only way people can bring him down is by resorting to violence (yes, I'm looking at you Yatori). |

| Very enjoyable episode, Ikta's a fine mc and I'm liking the setting quite a bit. It does seem as if the princess' empire is corrupt, so it'll be interesting to see what side the characters will take. Anyways, that first scene where they killed those three soldiers definitely took me by surprise a little, considering the first episode seemed kind of lighthearted. I wasn't really impressed by the way they managed to cross the border, though, as it seemed far too simplistic. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| Princess is useless and annoying. The only thing main character's best friend did so far was puching him when he exceeded the limits. Actually, the only one doing something so far is main character. I don't care if he is an angry teen sometimes if this means making silly princess stfu. |
 |
| That was definitely an emotional rollercoaster for me. Right from the get go with killing those soldiers, i know they're at war but it seemed so cruel, they just finished showing how the other side isn't against simply taking prisoners and not massacring everyone, then we even see asylum seekers go to them a lot. Like damn. Not to mention that king seems like a complete ass. The set up is great. I'm totally feeling Ikta's pain. |
| They are rushing quite a bit, aren't they. Especially the crossing the border thing, was way too easy here xD |
Shrimperor said: Well they arent rushing it since its paced fine. They are rushing quite a bit, aren't they. Especially the crossing the border thing, was way too easy here xD This adaption is actually on the slower side. |
