| Gaah.. can't wait for subs! |
 |
| Great episode. Me fall in love with now! OP me I was O_O with big open eyes! What I like about episode: Guin having great courage! Monster fight was full of strong feelings. Felt bad for Rinda when she was in pain from evil a** h**** with mask because his powers on her. Oro (I think is his name) guy with Mongols who got light reflection from sword of Guin is good that he threw sword towards Guin to help him kill stupid monkey! In every anime I seen, I always like feathers like that in OP. During OP my jaw was open and eyes also. Held my breath for a little there. That is how impress me is!  What kind of power this mask guy have? He make chandelier melt? The ape reminds me of first Dragon Ball when Goku was a monkey at end of series. Design similar but is very different I know. |
| although some weird stuffs happened and puzzled me: -Guin pushed one soldier off the bridge. I'm surprised the other soldiers didn't do anything. I guess since they promised they won't harm the children and someone broke the promise, he received his punishment (from Guin on top of that) -the man-eating ape's hand coming from under ground. Was the arena layered? or did Guin smash the ape under the ground lol... Highlight of the episode: 2 prophecies 1) Linda sensing something bad is going to happen to the fortress 2) Istvan's "princess of light" is his destined person |

| Seriously who is subbing this? its taking WAY too long, its not like it looks shitty or anything |
Roronoa_Zoro said: Why the hell is no one fansubbing this show ? Like Grimm said its not shitty Because no one knows it exists or think it's another generic fantasy series out there. |

| And yet FMA as like 6 good subbing groups which is more than enough. |
| |
| Argg a week since it has aired and still no subs!! I loved the first episode and I realllyyy want to watch the next one. :((( |
Soulstrider said: And yet FMA as like 6 good subbing groups which is more than enough. I know right I mean come on there so many good anime out there with no subbing group picking them up while just one has so many what the use anyway. At time like this I wish I knew Japanese. |
| Oh for God's sake, the 3rd episode is out raw and still no sign of an english sub. And come on, out of three groups who picked up this anime, NONE have managed to pull through in subbing it? What, was easter that time consuming??? I'm seriously annoyed by it all... edit: make that 4 fansubbing groups |

     Signature and Avatar made by my wife, VanillaMoon! |
| Episode 3 is out and still no fan subs for even the second episode. Normally I'd say these things take time, but if six groups can have FMA up within 24 hours, why can't we have at least one group doing Guin Saga on a weekly basis? I mean even Mistwalker has gotten the second episode of Eden of the East subbed but still no sign of Guin Saga. It's a damned frustrating experience. I guess this show will eventually get done, but maybe everyone is more interested in doing the higher profile series like FMA and Eden of the East. =/ At this point I wish someone would license it (it's not like they don't have dubbed trailers out there), maybe that would pick up the profile of the show. |
 |  . |
| Wheres the subs Man? |
| i'm dropping this series. can't be waiting around this long |
| After poking around the fansubber pages, I found some encouraging news from Mistalker. The fansubbing process is on hold because WalkingontheMist is sick right now. While currently on hold, Mistwalker does promise to finish the series. Still, at the rate things are going it looks like Guin Saga releases won't be a weekly affair at all. :( |

| SUBS ARE OUT! |

| I just couldn't stopped laughing when Guin suddenly grabbed that ape by his legs and then he threw him lol. Anyway Good episode. |
| |
| Hmmm too bad the animation and direction are so inconsistent, it could the second best anime of this season, but unfortunately it's only a very good anime. Still a very detailled and entertaining show for now, and I think it can only grow better. Btw, A lot of Uematsu's musics feel like his Final Fantasy works (especially FF6, for example the OP has exactly the same rythm and intonation as "Tina's Theme", but not the same melody, and I spotted a couple other tracks very similar to FF9 and FF4 too) ;) |

Me did not play long time FF but some is similar also some is like LOTR. Is nostalgic. |
| suuubs finally !! |
| [center]If you aren't troubling the rest of the world, then there's no harm in being abnormal. |
| I'm amazed at the animation, with something so weird as a leopard head on a man's body, it's so easy for them to fudge up the proportions making the head too big or too small. I'm actually impressed at how well done it has been so far, we'll see if it lasts as the anime goes on. |
| that gray ape thing was huge!!! and extremely powerful, it was only with a weapon could guin take that thing out, but why did the soldier give it to him in the first place? guin did something to him with the light from his sword; and now hes going to fight a mercenary, not good |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
kage-bunshin said: Guin didn't do anything to him with his sword, the light just shon on him and we saw his eyes when he pulled back his helmet. I imagine he was thinking something like, this thing really isn't just a monster because he's willing to surrender in order to ensure the twins safety. and that might also be why he threw in his sword. While watching the fight he was rooting for Guin and really wanted him to win.that gray ape thing was huge!!! and extremely powerful, it was only with a weapon could guin take that thing out, but why did the soldier give it to him in the first place? guin did something to him with the light from his sword; and now hes going to fight a mercenary, not good |
| I liked this episode. The show is growing on me. I'm glad that they relegated Remus to as small a presence as possible, and that we got two to three seemingly important characters. I don't mind the wait between episodes, this is worth it. |
| That was pretty awesome, I've gotta say. I hate waiting a long time for subs, but that was really worth it. Sure, the animation on Guin is a little inconsistent but that doesn't change the fact this is still beautifully done. I'll wait to see if it declines in episode three at all, before commenting too much further about that. I've also gotta say Uematsu's influence in the music is hugely noticeable and I'm loving every moment. Can't wait for more. |
"I'd suck you~" Berri||Desu Ne? |
| Can I say, "About damned time?" or ABOUT FUCKING TIME? Anyways I'm glad to see some serious asskicking this episode ...and oh, can I get a Whirlwind Throw? |
 |
| Glad to see that subs haven't stopped totally on this one. I have very high hopes for this series, and so far it hasn't dissapointed. |
| Mercenaries!!! I wonder if this has rpg elements where other people join their party. |
| |
| And yet another excellent episode! As it was already said, the wait is worth it! |

| OP almost put me to sleep. Whole episode was boring and irrational (one of guards killed by a slave = no reaction from others... WTF?!). If this continues i'm gonna drop the series. |
| I really have high expectation for this series, great battles, great op and soundtrack I just hope it has a good plot. |
| |
| The soundtrack made this show come to life. Even the battle scenes are action packed! It was a huge turnaround for me when I watched this episode. |
     |
| i really liked this episode, some great action, interesting way its going. Some awesome character design such as Guin, Vanon and his troops armour. Awesome animation. I was a bit annoyed it was censored a lot though. Oh well atleast the fights are still cool. and lol at love at first sight :P |
| Nice episode. I liked how Guin threw the guardman off the bridge, when he started bullying the children. Arena fighting was cool too. |
 |
| That was awesome episode as I expected, and this series grew on me. The plot is much better, obviously. |

| Hmm, anyone else notice a drop in quality? =/ I know it's usually bound to happen, shows give it their all for the premiere episode..but still, it's kind of disappointing. Also, the fact that Guin's mouth doesn't exactly move to his speaking annoys me while watching. -.- |

Is a little annoying. |

"A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| The animation was alright during the fights, but it's as if they save their budget for those scenes and the un-important scenes in between are drawn really sloppily. At least that's what I found. |
