| Great episode! Luke's starting to learn what battle's mean, I like characters who develop in that way and aren't just adapted to fighting straight away. Although, stupid baka! You got Tear hurt D8 Guy is just ... lol when he ran away from Tear I laughed so much xD And Jades really starting to grow on me :3 All in all great episode, can't wait for the next one xD |
| Stupid glowing blood censor is stupid. Unless it has something to do with magic. Luke's inability to do battle was aweful — I could kill someone easier than that pansy (I hate characters like that). Other than that, I now like Jade, and Luke still delivered @ being annoying. "You know, you're annoying too." Anise' reaction to getting throw out of the window was golden. |
脱ぎません！_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .  |
| It just keeps getting better after each episode, one of the few game to anime adaptions that seems to actually be decent. |
 |
| Luke has to be one of the bitchiest main characters in a long time for me. You learn to fight with a sword and don't expect to kill anyone? Stupid. And Guy just appeared with no explaination. Ridiculous. |
| Lots of battling this episode. Jade was awesome as ever <3 and it was nice to see the first of the god generals show up (looks like Dist's next week). It feels like they're moving pretty quickly, but I'd say the game's plot is long enough that they can do that without running out of material. Also, lol at Mieu: "Master, you're wrong, Mieu is a boy!" |

| Aahaha I'm excited to see Dist next week. <3 Tear and Legretta and Guy and Jade ftw~ |
| I love how this is progressing. <3 It looks like they might reach Akzeriuth by episode 6 or 7, maybe. |
     |
| Anise getting thrown outside a window was amazingly funny. And I pretty much love Jade, mmm. <3 The storyline is going on smooooothly~... Dist next episode! BEAST! |

| I couldn't help but laugh @ the epic Ligers on Griffins aerial attack XD Anyway, I'm enjoying this series a lot more than I thought I would and I really like the OP theme. |

 The Red Truth is the only truth in the world |
| Good stuff. So far I'm impressed but.....I don't know how they will get the whole game in 26 episodes without it becoming to rushed...:S Well here's hoping. |
 |
| Good episode. |

Apparently they say that the game is soooooooo long that it should not be a problem. That's what I mean. I hope the game is not to long for 26 episodes and they have to start cutting a lot out and rushing the plot to make it fit. Seems like that will probably happen, but I hope I'm wrong. |
|
| episode was pretty good... damn makes me want to play the game!... |
 |
| good episode.... Luke swords are for killing didn't Van teach you that.. LoL at Mieu saying it was a boy and Tear saying it's still cute. If that guy is afraid of woman how come he was okay with the Princess in the first episode??? |

| I have absolutely no idea who's fighting who and why, but it doesn't matter that much. On the other hand, Mr. Idontlikekillinpeople Sassypants Hippieguy is a bit annoying. Get your balls back man, the chick almost lost her arm because of you! And what's with the radioactive glowing blood? |

Right now they have to kill MOHS guy but originally it there two faction battles: Conservatives VS Reformists of the religion of the Fonons, which is a belief system of this setup. |

Kvakond said: And what's with the radioactive glowing blood? ...seriously. What's the point of censoring it with a glow if its going to be shown pooling on the ground normally a few seconds later... Still no complaints about the animation otherwise. Its really nice to see those cutscenes in the game done with sprites now fully and nicely animated~ |

Kuisanagi said: I agree, totally stupid but hey, at least we have blood. Kvakond said: And what's with the radioactive glowing blood? ...seriously.

Its really nice to see those cutscenes in the game done with sprites now fully and nicely animated~ For those who say the "Enter the Amazing Guy !" scene was ridiculous, I would agree, but as it turns out, Guy wasn't just searching aimlessly and neither just "casually" found the party inside a giant land dreadnought. But then again, I will keep being a very mean spoileriffic person for those of you who didn't play the game if I say anything further. And as it stands right now: - Bad guys = Conservative Order of Lorelai cronies who want to star a war for reasons yet to be told. - Good Guys = "current" Malkuth Empire and Reformist Order of Lorelai members who desire to stop said war. - Neutral but leaning toward the bad side of the spectrum = Kimslasca-Lanvaldear who may or may not want a war. I loved how they take the visual approach instead of telling us things, like in the game, which will serve to speed up some scenes in the future. I especifically loved how they animated the ligers anihilating the soldiers, which the game actually pussied out of showing (we only got the "It's a pack of ligers ! *death yells*" part in the game). They certainly were a lot more closer to the game in everything and didn't took any creative license in this episode, which isn't really bad, considering this part was good and had a nice pace. Looking forward to the next episode. |

| People who complain about Luke being a pansy need to think about his situation for a minute. This is Luke we're talking about. He's been isolated in that mansion for years now since that kidnapping and hasn't really gotten his hands dirty doing anything. And now he's just killed someone (albeit out of self-defense) and you're expecting him to just shrug his shoulders and get over it? Come on. I don't think so. And about people who say they could 'kill easier than Luke could' - please. There are a lot of things people think (or want to believe) they can do but when it really comes down to it and you're in that sticky situation yourself, chances are you'll have some problems carrying that out. Anyway. About the episode - Jade is so my favorite character. Besides the fact that he's voiced by Koyasu Takehito, I just love the mages (which is why I loved playing as Genis in Symphonia) and his sarcasm is just win =D |

True true. And for the people who are complaining, just let the freaking show progress and I'm sure things will turn out for the better. Well, I would know since I've beaten the game. Anyway, another great episode. This adaptation is really giving me confidence that Sunrise is doing this right. Enter the amazing Guy. PS: Iriya, I seem to be posting right after you a number of times now. =P |
| is it just me or is the blood glowing or something when it gushes out????? and great episode and luke dumb tear got hurt because of his weakness |
 |
gdrocks said: No it's just you... -_- everyone and their mother has already mentioned it. They did some sort of glowy effect to the blood for some stupid reason (maybe as semi-censoring). is it just me or is the blood glowing or something when it gushes out????? |
|
| That was a great episode. It's been a while since I enjoyed a Fantasy anime made from a game. |

| you guys know what's not cool? neon red blood! great episode nonetheless. |
| Does anyone else miss the game op? the anime one is good but the animation for the game op is so much better. and for those complaining about Luke bieng a pansy, give him a little time. his character progresses alot throught the game. |

| That guy with ligers on griffins was epic as hell, it's a shame that he died so fast, kinda anti-climactic. What time does this air, neon-red blood doesn't really make sense if this is late-night or even an evening air time. Overall it was a pretty good episode although I'm kinda unclear what the God General's are trying to do or where they are sent from. |

| Alright, every anime from now on needs glowing blood. It's so much cooler than regular blood. You can even switch the color up too just so we can get some variety. Or you could replace it with fire. I would be perfectly fine with anime characters just bursting into flames ala Shishio when they are killed. |
| Lol, glow blood rocks. Man, the guy riding the eagles died so easily...and does anyone notice that Tear seems to be the only who keeps taking damage? When they were outside on deck, some guy appeared and Luke and her got knocked out, then she got hit by the liger and now she protected Luke... |
 |
| the monsters dont have glowing blood.... great episode though, Anise was great "I'LL KILL YOU! YOU BASTARD!" XD |

| Sparkly blood! Oh censorship, you're so amusing. Nice to know some human characters for once. All is well in RPG-based worlds where you try and kill everything that opposes you, but humans lives are important, and I'm glad to see a character that worries about that. But only because he doesn't have the mindset of a warrior - I don't know if I want him to, either. But it's nice for a change - in an RPG-based world, that is. Anyway, great episode! I really love it when Jade uses a spell, I really love magic users. Anise is hilarious! XD |
| Well, it's still keeping to the game rather closely, Guy appearing out of nowhere still confuses me, now in both forms~ And.... aparrently.. I'm not the first to notice the glowing blood, ah wel it doesn't bother me too much. Our anime club would have a nice time watching this...... or not. For those watching around the forums, you don't have to play the game to actually understand the storyline here, though the game itself is fun, maybe you should look into finding it. |

| I fail big time... I have the game but never played it lol... yet I watch the anime???? |
| Sink... into Darkness! |
| bottomline neon red blood sucks. |
| This is a good adaptation so far. ^_^ Nothing felt as rushed as it was in Symphonia. I don't mind glowing blood as long as we still see blood around and isn't black (just a dark red shade). |
| Whatever character Koyasu Takehito is voicing is always the coolest. In this case Jade =) |
∞      ∞ |
| So I finally got around to watch this series.... Ahhh, Luke, why must you be so cute >w< Seriously, with the whole "omg I can't kill people" attitude and the fact he's blushing so frequently... I just can't help it. *likes* He's such a bishi, lol. At least during the first eps haha. Mmm, also -- Tear, and Guy, and Jade, and lots of awesome characters! Kyaa. Awesome series is awesome. |
     |
| Wootz Jade is awesome! (KT yay <3) Tear oh noes... im sure she will be fine Zeinzu-sama said: Anise was great "I'LL KILL YOU! YOU BASTARD!" XD |
 |
| Great episode. This show turns out better than I expected. Very cute scenes again and lots of interesting characters. I laughed about Anise x Luke. |
   |
| Lots of cool new characters. I daresay this is getting pretty interesting. All hail the cynical Jade, cute Anise and the awsome Guy! |
 |
| Great characters. I Lol'd at the ligers on the griffins' backs and Anise's exit was awesome. Sad for Tear though, lazer light blood blows. |
 |
| Luke is one of those characters which I hate the most - those who cry "I can't kill, it's not ok to kill, bla bla" but I think he will get over that quickly. Why did he train if he didn't intend to use his sword when needed, ccc. |
