Where's my Sigyn x Rygart development? Where, i ask... Leaving that aside, i expected more. Rygart's still a wuss, though at least he's gonna fight properly now. And why did they kill Lee? She didn't get much character development, but they just killed her. Kill True or bald guy from Zess's team instead.

Also, if Lee's 15 or 16, i can even believe that Cleo(<3) is 12. But it still feels wrong.

I am not really sure what most people here want to see in this episode. I mean Rygart was a fucking farmer till a couple day ago and this is his second time piloting that giant shit and what do you expect him to do? Trying to act kool and badass and going around killing people with his awesome Machine? And killing Lee and Dam was the right decision to make Rygart saw how ugly a war is no matter which side you are on and it doesn't matter if you are on the right side or not. As much as I want to see Sigyn x Rygart development I approve this episode is a need. This is one of the best episode and smooth development I have seen in a while in a war anime unlike some certain anime that only about "I am kool, awesome and badass but brainless" "I am the smartness person but about to die soon" etc.

7/10, it's good but nothing really special. They dragged the fighting for too long. Good animation I admit but the fighting itself isn't that interesting.

2 episodes so far and the story is still not advancing. So the mysterious mecha is stronger than every other mecha, I haven't seen much mecha anime and I can already say it's cliché : Mobile Suit Gundam and Code Geass have the same problem.

Gundam Seed? Is that you? (joke)

This series just got wrong when you say you have a 12-year old in your army. Couldn't you say she was 16-18? Damn you Gundam Seed.... I mean Break Blade.

Well probably has similiar genetics or whatever to Rygart (Cleo)

Also I'm assuming any Queen Sigyn romance between Rygart ain't gonna happen unless he tears apart a country/betrays his long time friend.

I thought the fighting itself was pretty interesting and I like how it wasn't stereotypical with the general characters i.e. the blond moustache guy really is serious about protecting the citizens and not just his fame and the other general not doing the usual guilt trip on the protaganist after his colleague died.

It slowly shows a nobody assuming a heroic role even if he believes its not the smartest thing to do.

It will be interesting to see the direction of this series.

Last thoughrs, initially this series reminded me of Code Geass meets Gundam but so far thankfully its not as ridicilious.

Win!!

Just as good as the first if not better!

Ok ppl, we understand it's a "generic mech" anime, so STF up about it!
If you don't like it don't watch it!!

Rygart is so awesome, and Yukimura's voice is perfect for him!!!

Can't wait for the next and the 4th, then I will marathon these!!

Urahara Out!!

So, Rygart basically kills Dan, then disrespects him in front of his grave? I understand Dan's death was supposed to make Rygart's head spin with the horrors of war, but seriously, what a douche bag move.

Does anyone else feel like the fight scenes in this show are incredibly awkward? Some of these mech movements just don't look right to me.

I'm sort of wondering what the purpose of the ground troops is. It seems like all they do is get killed by mechs. They could probably save a bunch of lives by removing them from the battlefield altogether...

I can never fully explain how glad I am that Lee died. I hated her character so, so, so much. There was nothing at all likable about her.

Anyway, I like this anime a lot. Some character designs are exceptional (especially Argath and Hodr.) I know a lot of people are saying the plot is generic, but that doesn't bother me. I've seen plenty of generic anime that were wildly entertaining.

I'm looking forward to the next movie.

He might be a farmer but he has all the stars aligned:

He's only deficiency is actually a once in a million advantage
King is your best friend
Rival also was your best friend
And the woman is in the bag, under the protective shield of the King no less

I have not seen characters or settings bowing over to please a not-yet-developed main character to such extent ever. Might as well nickname him GOD.

The fight in the first half dragged on way too long, I was incredibly bored.
At least the character development in the second half made up for the lame first half.

Surprisingly little happened in this movie, compared to the first one, and I guess I could pretty much summarize the whole thing as 'Rygart wanted to run away but decided to fight".
I don't disapprove.

What is Lee thinking shooting herself in the head like that? Does she think she has a persona or something?

The episode was okay besides the dragged out part of Rygart running away. I mean, common, I know he is just a freaking farmer before but does it have to take "that" long for him to realize that he needs to fight in order to protect his friends and his Sigyn?

Wow Zess has a kid? That was a surprise.

Also, LoL @ "Dan's death was caused by his lack of judgement." No, it was caused because Rygart held down his fucking gun. (´_ゝ`)

Yeah I thought that line was pretty stupid.


I have to agree with that one as well.

Damn, I feel bad for Dan, but that lance throw was pretty badass.
Even if there were no sexy scenes, I thought it was better than the first movie.

That under golem breaks the stone it steps on though...

Bah,I hate overly-pacifistic characters like Rygard. No matter how much one hates war and killing "when the knife reaches the bone"(as we say here) one has to do something about it. Argh,so annoying.
Oterwise,the movie was pretty good.

Looks like Zess doesn't know the terms include killing the royal family. And the other stupid general had to come out waltzing at the wrong time. Then again, there wouldn't be a conflict if they managed to finish their talk.

I don't like the idea that they're willing to fight their friends based on misinformation though


Yeah misunderstandings feel ridiculous. Zess doesn't know the full terms (lets not forget that the messenger voiced the last term, it was not in writing).
I wonder who decided that last term? Who ever did it wanted a fight.

Do be honest i don't feel extremely bad for Lee's death. She was quite the fanatic and i dislike brainwashed fanatics like her.
