THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Nexon outdid the expectations we had for the anime. It's surprisingly well animated, and the story thus far follow what's been in the game. Hope this advertises the game more. Jot down on what your thoughts so far.

It's not bad, the animation is wonderful but the plot lacks SO much. But can't expect much from a game adaptation, I'm excited for the next episode despite how short it is. It would have been so much better to start from the beginning.

IMO though, I would have preferred different classes to appear for the adaptation as well. Add as LP is fine though, so far I won't complain too much.

Absolutely love the opening and ending themes, the gang wearing such cute outfits in the ending. Especially Rena and Ara's!

Nexon decided to jump right to Hamel Arc, what's more is that we start with Rabu Jagu err, I mean Victor. Good thing the ships are canon tho.


P.S. Still unsure if Chung's a girl or a manly woman

I expected something better, I'm kinda disappointed. There isn't even any particular story, if I didn't play it, I wouldn't know what's going on.
For now 4/10...

First episode exceeded my expectations. I liked character design and animation. Opening and ending too were good. Just....I think they should do some introduction to story, so non-game viewers could know whats going on.

I'm a bit disappointed for the start, it has a lot of black points. Btw, if you know the game, it shouldn't be a big deal. The animation was good, I enjoyed it. Same for the OP and the ED, I hope to see a good developement in the next episodes.

(also: I screamed so much for Chung, Ara and Raven. They're beautiful!)

Surprisingly decent; animation is okay and the character designs are nice. I feel that this is unlikely to attract new players with the way the story is going though. Starting from the beginning would've been a better idea if the budget allowed for it.

I wasn't expecting much, so this first episode exceeded my expectations. Wished they could have started from the very beginning showing Elboy.
My only complaint is that i would have prefered Blade Master or Veteran Comander for Raven, but oh well, he's still beautiful.
Elsword x Aisha was so strong omg tho.

The only Good thing is the Well drawn animation.

The Bad thing is why the hell they're skipping 5 arcs from the game and start with 6th Arc known as Hamel arc?
This is gonna be way more confusing than most video game adaptations out there.
I just hope the story will end at the end of Lanox arc.
Do you play Azure Lane?

I mean, I don't think its too bad, probably better than a few other game adaptations out there. And I really feel like you would of had to play the game to understand the story more of course. Luckily, most here are fans to Elsword so I think its all good since we all play the game (?). If you haven't played, I'd consider watching the story quests from the game itself on youtube if you want more out of it. Or you know, just play it. Yeah, yeah, KoG this and that but eh, its still pretty great with the awesome playable characters.


For those of you that like to watch anime after downloading them: Babel
I'd recommend either checking 2nafish's youtube channel or Babel (to download) for the next episodes when available. I'm sure a few torrent sites have the episodes RAW as well.

I haven't played this in ages, but it's okay. I remember the basics.
The art is surprisingly good.

Very concerned about the lack of Ara (I know she'll show up later, but still, she's always overlooked)

The Add x Eve is strong.

Not gonna lie, I dropped the game. Yet, the animation for this makes me want to go back (that and Elesis. I love her.) Though, like most said, I wish it started from the beginning. Also, some characters seem different.

i find the first episode was pleasantly surprising. there's no character that i immensely dislike so far, the anime (or animated series, as some of you butthurt weaboos might want to call it) was beautifully drawn and animated, the plot.... it's not bad, it's only the first episode, but i hope it goes somewhere better, but the major problem for me is the voice acting. i'm not sure if this was because i'm not used to korean dubs or the dub just sucks in general, but i would've given episode 1 a solid 8 if they could've just used japanese seiyuus instead (and YES, i am fully aware that this was adapted from a korean online game, but you can't stop someone from dreaming, okay?). so to me elsword el lady episode 1 is 7/10.


P.S. OMIGOD ELESIS YAAAAASS

I'm personally disappointed by the classes they chose. I mean, i understand some of them are the "imperial classes" or something like that, but I was really expecting Night Watcher and Void Princess as seen in some of the previous animations.

I also am kind of disappointed that Lunatic Psyker is the Add they used rather than Diabolic Esper, but maybe my taste is horrible.

Also, did Aisha's voice actress change? It doesn't sound much like her, and I'm trying to figure out all of the voice acting variables.

curse you KOG and NEXON and your gacha this is why i quit playing , never mind il be going back to wow to play legion and hope maybe one day they will bring back sieg , that old main playing since the end of the first game, my guild disbanded and move on to elsword with rexion special for the exodus old player from GC that transfer to elsword, having fun at first but then most boss was felt like no challange and the character move is unlike how i use to play my old game

well at least there is also the bright side character design is looks much more better then the previous one, also how they revamp elesis was also good (still remember her signature move) thank god they didnt change her personality too much , overall this is the first korean anime i saw and maybe this will give me some reason to go back just to try some new stage, ps i still reserving 1 special empty slot for a new character and ain wont be the one in it, my main is raven blade master and elesis and lu ciel that i havent play a lot

RWBY is not made by a japanese studio nor was made for the japanese market, it's like saying Avatar is anime.

I liked the animation and dubbing (even though I'm not used to watch anime in Korean), the character design and their personality changed a bit, it was good to see animated bosses. I didn't expect Elsword to be so fast and weak, and her sister so strong.
I hope they can keep the story well, the main part was pretty entertaining, yet the bonus part was a bit strange (possibly that's why it's just a "bonus").

Yeah, being an anime, they somehow made it work, I think.

Characters look good, animation is fluid, and Ara's in it so it already gets a bonus point from me.

However, it's also bombarded with your standard clichès "yadda yadda I gotta get stronger to protect those I love" and the like.

Tbh if you don't play the game you WILL be extremely confused in what's going on. They skipped a lot of major arcs, most of which had backstories.

I'm concerned that Reckless Fist isn't angry 99.9% of the time and attempting to punch everything.

I'm also concerned in how they're going to fit Hamel and Lanox in just 12 episodes and 12 minutes per episode.

Also, monsters explode when killed now. Sweet. *insert Michael Bay joke here*











Let's get real. We're only here because this is game fanservice, so we can see our favorite characters in glorious 2D :^)

Reminds me of SAO
Elsword = Kirito with diff hair style, hair color, and eye color
Elsword's Sister Elesis= Asuna with diff hair color with slightly diff hair style

Silver guy at the end looks like Ban from Seven Deadly Sins.

But let's hope this plot continues to be decent.
