| Why am I not surprised that even in this show, elves has a hate for humans? Unfortunately, Arthur ends up being arrested but at least he got released. Also, it's early still in the show but Arthur and Tessia seems to get along even better. Tessia's confidence and personality seems to lightened up more since her appearance. Good for her. |

| Good episode, I enjoyed it. It showed the severity of the situation between elves and humans, how some elves want to murder humans on the spot, but some, have the wisdom to see a different perspective, even the look from the princess could have been a test for him. And the art / animation are fine in my opinion for this episode too, it does not need to be perfect for this type of story. |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating. |
| I'm rather lost. Why was Tessia silent the whole time when Arthur was pinned down by the guards? Most of all, how are grown-ass adult elves so scared of a human kid that they want to execute him immediately? Anime logic is really hard for me to swallow sometimes. The pain in Arthur’s chest continues to worsen until we learn the root cause from Tessia’s grandfather, Virion. It turns out Arthur has inherited a Beast Will, and he’ll have to train under Virion—otherwise, he’ll die. |

| @XArceusX They haven't explained it but in essence humans are forbidden in the Elves hometown. |

| @XArceusX Try following the anime story where it leads, then you can understand earlier events by later ones explaining what happened. I would hazard a guess (I don't read the written material). I think she was looking at how Arthur reacted to the guards and their threats, a kind of test for him, she knew Arthur could fight them, but when things became serious, she stepped in. The elves are not scared of a human kid, they are afraid of a human kid reporting back to the other humans that will attack them. Following the anime's story, I knew Arthur wouldn't be going home right away, because of little hints in the dialogue and different interactions which kept pointing to Arthur staying in the elf village, the "beast will" and "you will die", was just their reason for keeping Arthur there. |

| This episode felt like an empty fart with a little bit of flourish at the end mixed with some poop. It starts okay, feels nice for a while only to end up with shit in your pants. Whole lotta nothing. Perhaps if animation was better or at least more fluid, this would feel more satisfying. As is it's just leaves you disappointed. |

| @ejleon I'm not sure why Tessia didn't come earlier to help Arthur. It’s unlikely she knew he had defeated the bandits, since Arthur had kept that fact from her. They also didn’t encounter any beasts on their way to her kingdom, so Arthur didn’t get a chance to show what he's capable of. There will probably be an explanation later, as Arthur himself questioned her behavior. ejleon said: reporting back to the other humans Then they could’ve just imprisoned him—even the guard mentioned Arthur brainwashing her, as if he’s just a kid himself and even younger than Tessia. |

| Honestly, this "PowerPoint" isn't bad—it’s entertaining so far, especially Arthur’s internal monologues. I still wonder why Tessia had that look when the elves stopped Arthur. But aside from her, I have to say the grandfather is my favorite among the elves. It’s likely that, over time, the other elves will grow fond of Arthur as well. |
 |
| It's still generic but atleast it wasn't boring. Tessia and somewhat also her grandfather is keeping from dropping it. |
| Week 5 of saying "I love you silent majority of TBATE fans, y'all don't deserve this." |
| Damn this ep was trash Had to drop it, such a disservice that I simply can't allow anymore. Its just boring and not engaging enough, literal disgrace but whatever. 2/10 |
 "Hard work is worthless for those that don’t believe in themselves" - Naruto Uzumaki I rate by enjoyment |
| Hmm I enjoyed most of it, now we know why he had felt pain, waiting for the explanation in the show about it tho, so waiting for ep6. Still saw a bit of slideshows so keeping it at 8. The story seems to be good for now |

From their perspective, there is a hateful prejudice against all humans, they didn’t want to even see such an awful being in their minds, it was not worth letting this evil being live in their village. The Grandpa showed patience and wisdom, to realize something was different about this boy. |

| This episode was a good improvement over the last. Storyline is still a bit amateurish, however. |

| @ejleon During the table scene, Tessia mentioned that he really did beat them, which implies that, at most, she had doubts until then—it wasn’t confirmed before. So she couldn’t have meant that when she talked about Arthur saving her earlier. Grandpa Virion is rational and wise for his age, especially compared to his son, who immediately showed strong hostility and hatred the moment he laid eyes on Arthur—even while talking about the enmity between elves and humans. Honestly, I’m not sure if he’s even fit to rule, given how blindly and impulsively he makes decisions. |

| This show has some of the worst pacing so far. Very little seems to happen padded with more unnecessary scenes to keep the story progression at a crawl. A definite let down as a series it's definitely earning that 5/10 average. |

nice try kid Still episode trash
| @Glorfindel_B Who you calling kid? Age is not an issue here, it is maturity, and you spoiled brats who have no patience lack this quality. |

| Another wonderful episode! 🥰 Thankfully, the heroine is not a traitor! 😭 |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| It's either too slow or too fast... no inbetween... The OP is fire tho |
| They really made a comeback with this ep. No more cheesy sht, lots of solid points, from new chara intro to soft BGM to heated action between the elder and the MC. Hell, I am down to keep going with the hope that the MC will grow older with the elf princess then they fall into romance or something, that'd be perfect! Can't wait to see more of this now, it's truly a great episode, or maybe just that I am too big of a sucker for elves... >.> |
| The way the visual kept its minimalist style, i very like this shit so much, even if they dare to slow the fuck down the pace, i am fine. So yeah, gonna let Arthur do another learning session again, eh? Beast Will, sure. Hopefully the next episode all the forest doing is done, and let's make Arthur return to his parents, okay? Back to the main quest again, okay? |
