I enjoyed the hell out of it. feelsbadman I played some of ToS (never did get around to finishing it, lol), ToA, ToV, ToGf and ToX1-2. They were all great. Zestiria had it's problems, but all of the games did, imo. Characters didn't seem as flat as everyone says either. But I'm also a boring guy, so I guess I just never noticed. Edna is pure gold though and nothing can change my opinion. Either way though, the change the anime are doing are pretty great. I always did think that Alisha standing at the entrance all quiet was awkward as fuck. Same with Mason dying, like whoa. 0-100 real quick there with him getting gobbled up in the middle of combat, lol. Smh when characters just stand and watch shit happen when they have the opportunity to stop it. Such a bad plot device. |

SenpaiJay98 said: Mason didn't die in this episode though... '-' I didn't say he did. I was talking about the changes from the game. Alisha standing silently and Mason's death were awkward moments in the game. Really? It seemed fairly normal from what I recall. It's been awhile though so I can't say that for sure. I just know I didn't want that to happen even though I saw it coming. D: |

| Pretty good episode, like the fighting scene a lot. I thought they changed some scenes to change it further, but it was pretty much the same as the game so kinda strange why they changed dialogue in the beginning. I might've missed this info somewhere, but does anyone know why Hyouma didn't attack Alisha before, he was very close to her, i assumed he went after Seraphims in the village, but that wasn't the case (i didn't play the whole game and i don't think the prologue was in the game)? |

I would assume that he lost appetite. He seems to take pride in his hunting skills. Killing a mourning & weakened prey was probably going to be really unsatisfying for him. Think of it as a match between 2 swordsmen. One of them seeks a glorious clash. If one wishes such a thing, striking down a weakened opponent isn't going to satisfy him. Killing his opponent at full strength, however, would prove to be nearly orgasmic! Remember, the journey is often more rewarding than the end. He probably wanted the thrill of hunting her down and killing her... and feasting on her soft and tender flesh (okay, I'll stop...!). He saw someone else trying to take his prey away so he stepped in. Maybe he wanted to wait longer before killing her? That's my assumption anyway. |

| Is it me or was the animation quality slightly below that of the first episode's animation? Maybe I was so blown away in the first episode by the visuals that I am going to be prone to nitpicking. The last scene overlooking "the world" was amazing. Bonus points for the music too. I am excited because I never played the game, so don't know what to expect! |

I am excited because I never played the game, so don't know what to expect! I think it's the fact that you were blown away by the visuals. I was blown away too, but not surprised because Ufotable is a great studio. With the pace being slower now, it looks like the animation is limited. |
|
| That scene at the end was just beautiful. Liked the character focus. The fight was awesome. I really wanted to see Gramps fight the Hellion. |
| Well this episode wasn't as good as the others but the animation surely was beautiful, I expected nothing less from ufotable. The character development was hit right on but I hope why the Hellion is going for Alisha is answered soon. |
| Im a bit disappointed that the first two episodes were just a recap of the movie/OVA, but I'm glad to see they made a few changes from the movie to the TV series for the better. At least starting next episode we will see some new material. |
Frozenkex said: Holy shit, this episode was perfect 10/10+. That action scene was so intense and bad ass. And Mason! He wasn't eaten! And is this Mikleo's 'tsundere' moment? Very happy about this episode. Inb4 Fai tells us how Ufotable is somehow bad at everything and Silver link is better. Prisma Illya 3rei ' animation better than zestiria |
Nice bait...  and i'm like |

| I like the changes compared to the OVA. Sorey fighting skills were impressive against the fox. Great job Ufotable :D |
Fappa said: Except it showed that Hellions are not childs play and shit is serious...This is the only change i didnt like...This is not Fairy Tail,they should've left Samson deadMason didn't die. I thought his death in the game was a little bit out of place and unnecessary. |
 |
Kyogreex said: They avoided it simply because this is a TV series and they cant show a hellion eating the man...:ILoneWizard said: Except it showed that Hellions are not childs play and shit is serious...This is the only change i didnt like...This is not Fairy Tail,they should've left Samson dead Since the anime has already established how dangerous the hellions can be and dark the world is while following Alisha in the previous episodes, I think it became a bit redundant here. I can understand why they would avoid it when it wasn't so well received before. |

TheLittleRedHero said: They are my absolute favourite too. I rarely ship two gentlemen but, they are the cutest.Uh this is rather related in the anime, but am I the only one who ships Mikleo and Sorey? Like holy fuck I love them two. |
 Where there is no imagination there is no horror. || Arthur Conan Doyle || Happy Halloween! |
| that was really good but seriouslt that fox dude is just creepy |
 |
| What... Mason is alive? .__. That fox guy looked really epic :'D |
| Great fighting scene with Sorey and Mikleo against Lunarre. I'm surprised he didn't eat Mason like in the games, but then again it had little to no effect to the story. |
 Credit to Hihanteki |
| Really liking the way they're doing the anime so far. I'm actually hoping they make some changes from the game. |
 |
| What is this tho.. Zelda 2.0 lol Still ridiculously beautiful anime. ^^ Lol Mikoleos funny faces next week. cant wait too see that! Quite the episode tho. And Gramps being badass o.O gotta love badass gramps!! Great episode! |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| if i remember correctly from the game, Mason got eaten by that fox... but He's alive now which is good... the fight scene is so gorgeous... i love ufotable |
 |
| Mikleo blushing at the end made my heart melt :') "next week: 'Mikleo's Funny Face' don't miss it" I WON'T FOR SUREE |
 |
| Nice episode, the visuals were great! |
 |
Alisha = Waifu material Alisha with hair down = Waifu material x2 UFOTABLE STOP MAKING CHARACTERS SO ATTRACTIVE!  |

| I wonder why the fox guy want Alisha so bad... |
 |
| Alisha is suffering. So with no clue about the story, all the mystery surrounding the bad happenings in the world seem to lead to the advent of the Shepard returning. Sorey is most likely the Shepard, though that's probably obvious by his protagonist role. |
 |
| Hellion vs Sorey fight was epic af! Especially the art damn. For some reason I'm starting to ship Princess with Sorey lol. Anyway great episode. |
| small recap for the first special, but a little changes... the animation and the plot for the moment, genial and great!!!! |
| Although it was a repeat, because at the time I saw the special, the scenarios and the soundtrack are so rewarding that I feel satisfied, then a refreshed memory always helps. I can not wait to see the next episode. |
 |
| Alisha's really pretty and her vulnerability is unusualy refreshing Mikleo is a funny name |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Sorey and would definitely pull that excalibur and make King Arthur proud. |
 |
| WHOOPS. I GOT MY EPISODES WRONG. Nope. Just a regular ol' human. Yeah, why don't you just yell that to everyone, Sorey. Still wanna meet black-haired cutie. Is Lunarre human? Theyre supposed to staying away from humans? wot. wei. OH, WAIT. WHAT. Am I getting these episodes confused? Uhhh. Sorey brings Alisha back to their land and she just doesn't see the other people. Oh. Sorey is the only one to see her. I guess that's why Alisha didn't introduce herself to Lunarre. Nobody has pulled the blade free yet. Nobody is the Shepperd yet. Must be hard having a friend who's imaginary. HAHAHA. Alisha is leaving and hands back the Shepperd glove back. Even though she couldn't see them, she felt the Seraphim watching over her. Then she tells him to join the festival that will be coming to Ladylake soon. Now, an intruder comes through. MASON, NOOOOo Sorey and the hellion fight each other. For a human, he's keeping up. TAG-TEAM BATTLE. GRANDSHEEP IS HERE TO HELP. MikLeo? I've been calling him Lunarre for some reason. WHOOPS. Sorey makes it a note to go after Alisha and Mikleo comes along. |

| Interesting to note the changes between game and anime. At the very least the editing isn't as terrible as it is in the game, but it does seem cut a bit still awkwardly. Maybe it's just Sorey's (lack of) distinct personality that makes it feel that way. Every character seems to be just missing a little something in their personalities leaving them not quite real. Regardless, can't wait to see how this turns out. |
| Lovely development, I really find the scenery absolutely fantastic! Looking forward to see what's net! |
 |
| Wow this is incredible! |
 |
| Sugoi action scenes, as expected of ufotable. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
shits getting real :)  |
| That's a nice pink sunrise we got there :D and that Hellion fox guy means business |
 |
| Very good episode again. I really liked the fight scene. That Hyouma is a very scary creature. |
