The episode is alright. It pretty much started with the Sems battling the Mongauli army in which the Sems retreat. But it's awesome to see that Guin is leading the Sems against the Mongauli army.

But what about Guin's throw...he almost kill Lady Amnelis there when he throw Marius's weapon towards her direction.

1- Nice rear István :P
2- I like how Guin makes Astrias eats dirt.
3-Too bad Guin didn't throw Marius' sword to kill her because if he did that bitch would be so freaking dead!
4- Mongol's army got own big time.
conclusion a very nice episode indeed!

Those monkeys annoy me so much >_< And the Ido was meh... The equipment and barding of the horses looked nice, though.

I think he didn't kill her on purpose to annoy her, so that she would command whole army to pursue Guin in to the trap. Amnelis wasn't very smart anyway to try to fight monkey skirmishers with heavy cavalry in some mountain pass.

I enjoy that Guin's playing it smart this battle with such limited numbers. The Ido was unexpected, but it sure made quick work of those troops. Also Guin shutting up that Princess and that fanboy sure felt great.

That ep was really bad imo... It was kinda just one scene after another without any coordination nor transition in between and they could as well have suprimed the dialogues, wouldn't have made any difference...

Hope that "war" or "battle" or whatever won't take much eps, cuz it's like ruining the show for me D:

Heh. Guin was a G the whole episode. The Ido doesn't even seem to be a living creature.

Go Guin! He seems to win every battle, haha. I'm starting to like this show more and more. The only thing that annoys me is Astreas, he's such a weakling.

Pretty good ep! A lot happened.

But they do have to work on the scenes transitions. It wasnt so bad as in the river of death episode because of the battle going on, but still, it was pretty annoying.

And what people have against the sems? I don't like monkeys, and yet, I don't find the Sems annoying or boring or anything...

Not really amazing but can't wait to see more. Guin is pretty good for giving Mrs.princess some lesson.

I liked this episode...bad animation aside, for a few reasons...Istvan's ass, Astreas and the princess being humiliated, and actual tactics (besides the Ido which felt more like a necessity) used in battle. It was a little jerky in pace, but that is only because of the nature of the tactics and the director's choice to surprise the viewers along with the Monaguls. I also liked the way they did Guin's heart attack move. If it had been shown in that manner, I doubt I would have felt cheated the first time it was used.

I am getting a little annoyed by Rinda's "As long as Guin, blah, blah, blah" stuff. And Remus wasn't annoying at all...though I think this episode might be confirmation that he's gay.

But yeah, that animation was bad.

this episode shows that guin is a master tactician, thats all there really is to it.
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures

Astreas is annoying character even I’ve seen for a while because it’s pointless to see him to stare the princess few times that makes me to kill him. I loved how Guin gives princess some hard lesson.

For people like me who read the novel its worse :P. They can think of up an ending on the anime. I dont think they will make the whole novel in an anime too so.

Anyway they need to work on scene transitions i dont really mind it but it would be better if they did it right :P. Loved how guin pwned them.

Guin humiliating Astreas and Amnelis pleased the shit out of me, as well using the Ido just so they can decimate the large numbers~

Fun and solid~

somewhat agree, direction and proper scriptwriting is severely lacking at times. This shows only saving grace is the story and the premise.
"...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth')

Guin really put them in their place in this one.

Sigma Guin appears, humiliates Astrias, Marus and Amnelis. Refuses to elaborate further, leaves :p

Im very sorry for Reagan, i hope this face of reality awakens Astarte, he can be a good character. The attack howewer didnt kill Marus, he didnt want to kill him. I did expect more of the princess though, not this impulsiveness. Not a lot of tactics on the "human" side.
