This thing is sooo good. Loved the episode.

So it wasn't a one day thingy, Ryner spent years behind the bars and during that time, he just went through books and books and books, more like the entire library.

it was good to see the jailer crying when Ryner was finally released, goes to show how people get fond of him, as Ryner always teased the jailer about his beautiful wife. even the child who was just an infant when Ryner started to serve his time grew up to love Ryner.

Also, Ferris is so beautiful. OMG! she is just dazzling. Loved the fight between Ryner's magic and her brute(!) strength.

Also, loved it when Ryner's jaw dropped seeing Sion on the throne. And Sion's joke about Kiefer to get Ryner's attention was great too! Not to mention Sion making fun of Bijin's Dango fondness, Ferris' moment was priceless.

Waiting for the subs. My Jap 101 helped me understand very little. But it was a good episode and we are back into the current timeline, flashbacks are over. :)

i am a Ryner fan now! i swear it wont hurt getting a smack or two from Ferris. i wonder though where Ryner is getting all those red round lumps on his head from time to time :P

He spent 1-2 years in jail and so I guess he's in his early twenties at best. Infant and jailer? Heck, even the spider likes him!!!

~When every year is passed,a small intervention will comes in.
~When Ryner went in the jail, the baby is just born (maybe around 4-6 month years old) .When Ryner getting out from the prison,Ryner makes a jokes with the old man and he mention that her daughter is 3 years old.

I think he is more happy staying in the jail but Sion the sadist king wanna bring him out from the jail and put him in a journey to search for the relic .Next episode Froaude will be introduce.

LOL

Ryner is very thoughtful of not escaping when he is escorted by the guard because Ryner knows the guard has family and Ryner don't want them to get involve .
The spider is very cute also,and the spider really remind me of Ryner.
Why the spider didn't go out to hunt for prey?
Why the spider stay inside the jail where there is not prey for him to hunt?
because the spider is a monster and the spider don't want to kill anymore and it wish to be alone......Even the spider doesn't wish to kill,but the web will still trap the prey within it and eventually die... =(

I just realize there are only 2 Anime(other is Sekirei) in this season which doesn't has a review yet .....does that means this series is in the same popular level with Sekirei =( ....

Just give it a try, fans will find out sooner than later that this thing is awesome. I was in several channels yesterday and it seemed most of the people there didn't watch past episode 2, so they missed a huge chunk of quality right there.

if you asked me, the first episode was sub par, the second was average too. The 3rd was brilliant and 4th was great too. fans (including me) were too dumb to think it will be like Chrome Shelled Regios. Anyways, I guess I will write a review after the 6th episode. thats two weeks away from now.

So looks like Ryner is finally out of prison, and well on his journey to gather all the treasures.

Btw, has anybody noticed that he looked a lot like how Hei looked in the second season of darker than black after he got out of prison?

so I guess now we know how he got dubbed the sexual predator XD

To be fair, airing the first episode as....that first episode was a really bad idea. It scared a bunch of people off. Hell it even scared me off. I just watched episode 2 just to see if it would get better (oh god it did).

I really like the lazy protagonists who are actually intelligent. I think Ryner will end up being another one of those beloved characters who just work simply because he is voiced by Jun Fukuyama

Well they spent a lot of time on him being in jail but it wasn't bad, and it eased the passage of time really well; heck it was two years.

While the first half was rather dry, i was basically entranced, the second half had a few good jokes to bring me back to life as well as a pretty good action scene. By the end i was satisfied and asking why it was over already.

I can 'sort' of understand why they aired the first episode the way they did. While it made the first episode poor it eased us into the flash back and made the next few look good too.

I think it was simply because he didn't want them getting involved and being hurt/punished in some way. If he let Ryner get away he would most indefinitely get punished for it and he has a family to take care of, and I think Ryner didn't want to do that to him. (Just my guess.. anyways)

I think this series has more potential then most people think.. It's at least better than the name gives it merit for.. and I'd say it's one of my favorites of this season, though I do have to say I think Kuroshitsuji II remains my favorite.. Unlike other people, I didn't even bother picking up HoTD.. >.>""

Am I the only one who thinks episode 1 is great ? It showed us what the series is about : Alpha Stigma's "abilities" / The magic / The fighting animation / some comedy moments / the "Relic" hunt. People who are interesting in magic/decent plot/good animation will pick up the show right away after seeing the first episode...

Great episode, this show isn't disappointing me so far. Comedy parts are actually funny, main character reminds me of Yang Wenli from Legend of the Galactic Heroes (smart but lazy), the female character isn't annoying which is always a plus in anime.

Can't wait for next week.

A solid episode. However, I think this show would have benefited if the first ep wasn't a look at the future/present, because the following episodes lost a lot of tension and mystery to them because we knew Ryner wouldn't die, Sion would become king, about the search for the legendary objects, etc. I really dislike when shows use that sort of plot device, it really waters-down everything. They should have made the second episode the first and made the events in this episode just slightly more spaced out because the pace is a tad rushed.

Anyway. Lucile <33 He and his interactions with Sion make this show, IMO.

And I wonder how the jailer's daughter knew Ryner. She wouldn't have seen him before because he hadn't come out into the light -- unless the jailer took her down to see him. Would he do that? :P I suppose she could have assumed who Ryner was, because I imagine her dad talked about him a lot, but she's only three soo.

Definitely getting better now. Ryner spending 2-3 years in there was pretty hard but he survived somehow just by doing research about afternoon naps and relics xD. Wonder if we'll get some more info about those. Ferris is less annoying here but I still don't like her dango obsession. Guess I'll have to live with that obsession now that they're travelling together. Haven't paid attention to the OP but there sure are a lot of characters there. Important or just enemies? Well, whatever, as of now Sugita Tomokazu Lucile is the most suspicious. The story is pretty interesting, hope this continues to be this good.

Another good episode. Normally, spending a large amount of time on someone stuck in a jail cell would be a boring affair, but Ryner's attitude, coupled with his conversations with the guard, made for a very entertaining first half.

So, I guess the end pretty much relates back to the first episode, looking for relics and all that. As long as the rest of the series isn't entirely comprised of searching for the relics episode after episode, I'm probably going to like this. They might even throw in some political intrigue.

That's what I also thought. I mean, this dude shares his (pitiful) meals with a spider. I don't think he could do that to a poor commoner with a family to provide for. For all Ryner knew, the king was still the bastard who wouldn't think twice about sentencing a failure guard to death.
Now, king's (pretty) henchman apparently deserved less mercy in that department :P

What I wonder about is why Sion didn't get him out of jail earlier...I mean, if the country's changed so much, he must've already spent some time on the throne (he was probably crowned not long after his talk with Lucile, about whom I still wonder - just how much power does that dude have in Roland?), and that means he had the authority to let Ryner out all along. The only answer I can come up with is that he just wanted to respect Ryner's wish to take lots of afternoon naps, but that's just silly xP He could have done that somewhere more comfy, after all. Well, Sion knows Ryner better than I do, so I'll just believe that isolation is what Ryner wanted.

If you do not wish to leave, it will become a fortress.

Even the novel didn't say when did Sion being crowned but in the Anime,It has showed it that Sion secretly visit Ryner in the Jail during the 2nd year .I don't know izzit the sound effect or maybe i am hearing things.Did you hear bombardment during the 3rd year in the winter??I think the Coup d'état is started at the third year.

I just realize one thing.Ryner did not sleep as much as he like while in the jail!!! hmmm...

Well, i'm glad they back to eps 1 timeline, so eps 1 is not the ending episode. But i also have some disappointment, suddenly Sion became a king. Although we know that Lucile play an important role in here. I hope in the future they will give us some explanation about this. Also it would be nice if they can show us some of his subordinates past and how they met.

except it's not a controllable weapon. It attacks both friend and foe. The relic hunt is to gain deterrents to keep the other countries at bay or at least that was Reyner's intention when he wrote the report
