I don't know if I'll continue watching this one. I'm on the fence right now. The premise doesn't interest me too much.

well shit, they jumped right into the action.
At least the male protagonist isn't useless/getting in the way.
seemed good to me.

So much happening for the first episode it seems as though its being rushed to fit a 12 episode long anime or something. it was still alright though

As long as it doesnt become a pantsu anime, I think I will be enjoying it. Tsundere Erica already kissed Godou. But I have seen more anime like this. The only couple of things worth the mention are the animation quality, even for a webrip, it looked fantastic and the background music. The other couple of reasons to continue will be Erica and Gilgamesh no Chikara.

4/5 for this episode.



Tsundere??? Erica?? Nah....Godou is more Tsundere like.... Erica is pretty open ..:D u will see....remember this is V3 of LN 'The first Tale'
I wonder if they are skipping V11 'the second tale' if they make V3 that way....
NVM...About Godou power...apart from Sword of wisdom...

5/5 for this episode and I have got to say, this is the best first episode of anything I have ever seen. Holy fuck, we had a kiss in the first damn episode, some very nice fan service, some awesome transformations, some intense action, and a pretty interesting story, not to mention a very likable heroine. I wasn't even excited for this show, but figured I'd watch it anyway. Well now I am incredibly excited - must have more. Hell, I might even rewatch this ep when it comes out in 720p. What a start.

I was hooked by the first 2 minutes i hope its nice and lengthy i will be PISSED if it ends up being a twelver, also that scene with all the swords reminds me of gilgameshes gate of babelon from f/n and f/z or am i wrong in my impression? plus its HAREM, im a harem junky school comedies ar efine but its even better when it has magic, adventure, and bass ass fight scenes im watching this till the end. also it seems they did what they did with hyoka ryoran samurai girls, where they aired it before the set date, altho in this animes case we only have to wait about a week where as with the ryoran girls i had to wait about 3 haha. 10/10

But there are still some part that are confusing
I think I will enjoy this :)


I agree but as far as first episodes go i think they got it perfect, i don't mind being left abit confused solong as they explain it and since the MC doesn't even know whats going on himself we should get a explaination when he does.

I have to admit the protagonist made a epic steal when he took the golden sword. I can't wait to see what happens from here and its rare to find a protagonist that smiles in the middle of a battle.

Loved this episode though we'll have to wait almost two weeks for the next. I hope it's 24 eps but most likely it's 12. Hope that this turns out to be a great series.

This anime could either be really mediocre or pretty good.
Can't really tell from the first episode. I haven't watched a good fantasy/magic series in a long time so I might stay for the ride. Mythology is a plus and the main character is archer class? XD unlimited blade worksss

so basically, the protagonist happened to become Campione because some cocky god wanted to have an entertaining fight by reviving other gods and making himself one incarnation weaker and give that to a potential human warrior? well, too bad he gets defeated and this human takes the glory.. ok.. fair enough.. but i don't like the way how everything started from that for this show..

also, since the novel readers claim that this show started out in the 3rd volume and with that kind of pacing, i can see that this show is most likely going to be only 1-cour.. i also don't think Diomedea has enough budget for 2-cour based on the latest shows that they've aired.. this is basically an advertisement for you to read the source material..

anyway, hawt heroines wearing red are HNNNGGGHH in my book.. and action scenes are ok.. sword spams seem to be a thing these days..

and noireo, why didn't you put most of your post in spoiler tags? now i know what action scenes to expect in detail..

Sorry about that, i was in a hurry and quite frustrated about this anime
BTW the right order for this LN was 3-11-1-2-4-5--to--12
Oh about 1 cour or 2 cour this could be 2cour since there are already from v5
Cramping 5volume in 1 cour is hard unless they change(ruined) it like this episode...
Never the less, if u are interested try reading it at Baka-tsuki.
The actual story is V3 is quite long and boring if u start reading from that one....but it is a good and necessary story

I'd say it is OK. I will definitely continue to watch it, but the episode seemed very rushed to me. I didn't understand some of the stuff that happened. Also, I think it was kind of quick for them to already kiss, they met like, the day before.

Hmmm... i dont know yet. im down for the whole battle of the god thing or man vs god, just because i like greek mythology and the character design, especially the female lead, not so much of the male lead, dont like em just yet but only time will tell, maybe he will "Man up"and become bad ass he sure at the end atleast.


Overall: Female is lead is hot, War of the god, Man becoming a half god (I think), Milf Witch,Epic Battle,Pimp ass Golden Sword and a Grimoire book that kinda reminded me of Zatch Bell for some reason.

ill stick around for a while, just because of the mythology behind this anime

Till Next week i guess

yea it does
or aka legend of the legendary heroes
although legend of the legendary heroes felt a bit inconclusive i enjoyed the characters and the whole fantasy/magic feel to it. Felt like a RPG and this one has a similar atmosphere but probably a less dark atmosphere than the former.

I agree, Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu or legend of the legendary heroes was a pretty awesome anime that needed a season 2. The story was amazing the dark aspect was also what made the story good. Also I just realized that not only do the main characters look alike but they act very similar as well...

I'm still depressed there isnt a season 2. Like always quality animes with common sense main characters never does well in Japan.

Agreed, When I saw this as a recommendation from Legend of the Legendary Heroes I checked it out. I'd definitely say Erica and Godou remind me of Ferris and Ryner.(Only younger) Although Erica expresses herself a bit more then Ferris does but that's what makes Ferris's character so great. Wish they made a season 2 loved the show damn whoever animated The Legend of the Legendary Heroes and leaving the ending so open and no season 2!!!! T_T

Anyways it was a good episode sexy sexy sexy girls, a plot built upon Gods, but the fights felt a bit mediocre. Not really much fighting though in this episode(The fights felt a bit one-sided) so will have to wait for more of those. I can only imagine how they will build upon the story(haven't read the light novels) so this could either build from decent to better and better or worse. Just got to wait and find out!

At least this doesn't have any hate-able character up to where i read...

Actually the novel is more focus in character interaction than battles..at least up to V5
But this is what make this LN great...mostly character interaction between main leads

LOL at Hiyocchi's Italian. Erica sounded like Sera ( Well of course )

Kinda exceeded my expectation. Well, it's kinda cliche but... It's enjoyable. I need this kind of Anime every now and then.

Need to add Erica in my favorites. Hiyocchi's characters do not disappoint me. Nice kiss in episode 1. I feel like the character development will be really good in this Anime. Action, Romance is always a ++ for me.

Can't wait for a better quality version. Nice fanservice! I feel too that it's kinda rush and I have a lot of unanswered question but we're just at episode 1. Mythology +1.

I don't really know how they change the Anime from the Novel but Im sure I'll enjoy this. I guess I'll just read the novel if I can find some translated ones after I finish the Anime.

Can't wait for more Erica <333

P.S I agree with you people. The Gilgamesh-like swords at the ending. So awesome.

Not sure I'd give it a 5/5, but I agree on all your points. If nothing else, it was interesting eye candy - and I like Erica's sword. Hopefully it develops a decent story.

Lol at the narration at the end. Made this somewhat serious series into a silly one i can't take seriously. From just the first episode it looks average, but better than other cliche harems because the male lead isn't useless and dense.

Not sure if i still want to watch this since it seems cliche and like it won't have much real plot, but we'll see.
