THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wow ... short break, just the way it should be. So after that finishes now they go to look for Ion to ask about Van's sword's disappearance, odds are Van isn't quite as dead as we think he is or something along the lines of that. |

It was alright, the Boss Fight was a little terrible though. And I'm not looking forward to the contents of next week's episode. ;___; |

I didn't play the game, but seeing how things are going, I bet that a Van's replica will appear XD and well, battle scenes in this anime are just terrible, very disappointing. Modified by draker, 02-04-09, 3:45 AM |

An okay episode. There was quite some development in this episode. The fighting scene was quite disappointing though. |

Wasabi said: That was... kind of anti-climatic. exactly what I was thinking. Van's most likely not dead thought. PS. has anyone noticed the OP's lyrics give away most of the series lol? Each scene in the OP has a line pertaining to something that happens in the series/game. |

I can't decide was it good or bad that they rushed to the second part in one episode. Usually a new part starts with a new episode... Don't know |

I agree, it felt a little awkward getting exposition like that in the middle of an episode. |

Hmm hmm...I liked that they showed more images of Van when he was younger. It was weird having the party NOT regroup together before they went to see Van like in the game. Although Guy's dramatic enterance made the change worth it. The Absorption Gate is the WORST place ever =___= It's so huge...and there's too many spiraling ramps..I hated that place. Though the scene where Van stuck his sword in the ground and fell back looked identicle to the game's cut scene o_O Most especially when he fell..I thought they just like cut that and pasted it into the episode for a minute. |

FAIL!!!! I cant't believe (yet can believe) they rushed through the Absorption Gate and Van so quickly. Also, they never gave any indication that Luke had been home for ONE WHOLE MONTH... Someone just realized they slated too few episodes....seriously, how are they going to finish in ten episodes. Still, can't wait for next week's episode. ^^ |

Oh yes. That reminds me...I wonder if they'll have time to add in Mushroom Road << It would show everyone Asch's soft side towards mommy. |

Yeah, there's still a lot to go through, and I hate them racing through every bit. I want a good, long fight for once. It seemed promising at first, but now it's turned out so flat. |

It seemed promising at first, but now it's turned out so flat. they should have slated it as a 52 episode series at least. The reason the series seems so flat is because they arent able to put the side quests in, which provided a lot of character development. |

QFT They really should have concentrated on one or two arcs of the whole story and gone more into details about the characters and their relations. If it goes on like this, the show drops down to a ranking of 7 or worse for me. ;( |

Things just went way too fast, and the fight with Van was just rushed. I'm seriously disappointed with this episode. It tried to cover a lot of the events in the game, but ended up being rushed and lacking. Like I said from the very beginning, it's impossible to cover the whole story in 26 episodes. I expected some things to be cut out, but did it have to happen in this part? Plus, the second part of the story starts in this episode too. It would have been better if that happened next episode instead. Still, there's a good amount of the story left, and I know the remaining 8 episodes are definitely not enough. Btw, I doubt Mushroom Road will be added, but I would like to see that. |
