Oh what a school~

It's kinda funny how people are riding horses inside of it. Action was okay I guess. There's some chaos in the city.
Damn it censors. Maybe they will remove it from BD. I wonder...

It seems the OP animation is changed in this episode.

I guess next episode will be prologue and epilogue of episode 1.

This show is full of hypocrites. First the bitch Aina, now Mikado. He preaches of how he wants to restore normality and expanding his utopia to places of strife where people live in fear of their lives from Z/X attacks and starvation, yet he invades the most prosperous city with as few Z/X encounters in the country that has also already restored itself to the normal everyday life it was previously used to before the outbreak. My Brain is Full of Fuck.

As for Alexander, his stupidity and single-mindedness arrogance reminds me of Gilgamesh from the Fate series. Hope he bites the dust.

To me it would make sense for him to invade Kobe since its only a boat ride away and based on what he said in the first episode, its an easy entry into the White Worlds territory.

Also for him to even get into the other colour Worlds where peoples lives really do suck, he has to get through the White World and consider these angels aren't exactly the nicest Z/X out there I doubt they would let the Red World through.

Man, Alexander is such a Gilgamesh knockoff that it isn't even funny. I'm surprised that he didn't end all of his sentences with "zashu."

Ture.
Interesting that they try to show the viewpoint of other 'powers'.
At least they're showing it's more complicated than a Pokemon journey, that there're interpersonal issues involved.
My hopes for the complexity of the story is going up yet my hopes for the coolness is going down for this anime +_+

Eh, okay episode, it is somewhat out of pace when new characters were introduced. Well at least new characters and Z/X were intoduced.

Another bunch of annoying characters appeared. Hypocrites and egotistic characters in one show is too much.

Overall, meh episode.

So, it looks like Mikado is not in control of Alexander.

In case you didn't notice, the name of his horse is Bucephalus. There is only one person who has a horse with that name and is also obsessed with conquest.
Now would you say he's the same as Gilgamesh?

The new OP was great, better than the old one.

Nice to see the other characters, looks like we're nearing close to the invasion seen in the first ep.
Alexander comes off as a really large ham....

Average episode. The Alexander guy is distrustful.

Things are starting to start intense.

Well, I'm gonna watch this series till the end.

Mikado is an arrogant asshole. And if he actually believes, what he's saying, he's an idiot. Otherwise he's, well, a hypocrite.

-know more of the character such as background and past which makes sense to their reasons of action
-introduce more of the angel side of story.
