| That Excalibur-like power. That archery. Those lame dragons. Isn't it good to just use that power of hers to wipe the floor instead of her army? Doesn't seem to have a price or anything? |

Doesn't seem to have a price or anything? Price of using Ley admos is shown later, as she said in the episode it's not a useful skill against people, it's basically near enough a single target nuke. |
| Wasn't expecting the military tactics, but it brought a nice flair to the show. Using unmanned horses to intimidate the opponent was pretty slick. The over the top powers kinda made the tactics look insignificant. Overall a decent episode. |
| Loving this show to bits! Hopefully they don't mess with the pacing too much. As much as I want to see all the girls in this season alone, I'd much prefer if they slowed things down and added a second season instead :P |

| Thus ends the battle, I liked the action in this episode, however the tactic representation using chess pieces style was used overmuch, got a little tiresome The ecchi was also missing, I expect more action and more ecchi .. |
  |
| I liked this episode. I liked how they showed us some realistic war strategy. But yeah, we could see that they didn't had enough money to show us the real battle. It sure would have been more impressive, but it didn't bothered me that much. I wasn't even expecting them to explain the strategy, I was expecting them to just run in the enemy troups and somehow manage it. |

| this one was one of the more balance in terms of humor, fan service, battle, action etc. Last ep was a little slow, but nice with the bow and sword. |
catullus said: wait people like this anime??? wat? I mean going down the list the entire thing is poorly done from the visuals, the voice acting, the plot, the super op generic characters... everything. Id say the most distracting thing is how badly drawn and animated this show is. But the plot and story are equally bad. Its also kind of ridiculous that hes shooting three arrows at once and they are all headshots... This anime is beyond ridiculous though. I am only watching it because its so bad its kind of amusing... I will probably give it one more episode before the drop though. The novelty is wearing off. Are you trolling? |
| Oh now we are on to the love triangle :) and the talking bow is unexpected :D |
 |
| Damn this ep was a step above the previous two Finally we got to see some combat and although it's not Fate Zero it was definitely awesome seeing a dragon get sliced in half with fucking air. Also is this going to have some harem aspects? Or are these all the girls we're going to meet? |
The best anime is the Road to El Dorado |

The Herem element in madan is pretty subdued although 2 more of the Vanadis should be introduced next episode. |
mylesperhour said: The only thing wrong with this show imo so far were the weak dragons. well the dragon was far more powerfull in the novel "The Earth Dragon gave a roar. The men trembled and their armor rattled. The horses were paralyzed in fear, both friend and foe alike. The Earth Dragon stamped the ground as it ran. Its tail mowed down the soldiers of Zhcted as it passed by, and it tore through soldiers with its arms. Nothing worked against it. One person was eaten, another was cut in half as his body vomited blood. There were soldiers who stood up to it, but their attacks did not work. Its brass scales were not injured. Swords were broken, spears were thrust aside. Axes and maces had their handles cracked. With their weapons lost, they were stepped on cruelly and crushed underfoot. Tigre shot an arrow at the Dragon's eye. The arrow was accurately aimed at the eye, but was easily repelled. Tigre looked grim. Though the Earth Dragon's eyesight was not terribly good, a special film protected it. The soldiers were mowed down. The Earth Dragon raged about as it turned. The meadow was paved in blood, lumps of flesh and iron scraps distorted the landscape. It was only a single Dragon, yet hundreds of men were helpless and could not halt its advances. This time, it was a vast plain, where the Earth Dragon could exercise its power. --- What should I do... It was not possible to advance while avoiding the Dragon. The Dragon moved to the left and right, blocking all passage to the Thenardier Army. Once the distance to the Dragon shrunk, the army moved further back. |

| Please tell me the chess pieces + narration large battles will be kept to a minimum or be done with...As many have already said,they're hardly entertaining. Also,Tigre just went from a skilled bowman to an OP one and that's before he even received the arrow power-up from Elen's sword. Shooting 3 arrows at once and landing headshots with ALL of them looks rather ridiculous which would've been fine if the show would've set itself up like that,but it didn't. Hitsugi no Chaika did it right with Tooru & Akari,as they're skilled but far from OP. Weakest episode so far for me. Not gonna drop it though as it's still a decent watch but I expected more out of this. |
| Great Episode :D I do agree that the CGI animation, and the 3D horse when narrating the battle was kinda weak and breaks away from the animation. Also most of the attacks from soldiers are just clashing swords with one another, then moved on to the next. Ellen's Ley Admos looks awesome!! Kinda OP, but whatever! I kinda lol'd that for a tamed Dragon, they surely go down so easily. And fuck that Zion douche. Glad he died like that. Was hoping Tigre would shoot his hand some more to feel some pain!. I actually love Haruka's voice as Ellen. It's definitely different compared to her usual voices :P I thought Bow are for backstabs and not for frontline battle, but damn bows are freaking awesome!! Can't wait for the next episode! As much as i love chess, please minimize it or at least put it on the beginning of the episode! |
| Liking this adaption way more than I was expecting, that was a good episode. |
| I could watch Ellen kill people all day and not get bored. Nice action the whole episode. Two dragons down! I figured that was a "special" bow. |
  |
| That was a hell of a shot. |
 |
| They didn't screw up the LN that muchYet.! :) But I disliked the chess type way they show the strategies. Tigre is OP?Why the heck people hate characters that actually do something in fights or not useless in fights?Expecting to see Tigre hide behind Ellen during the battle?? :p Remember he can still be killed,as he doesn't have a wind barrier like Ellen. |
| This was one hell of a boring episode. OP characters everywhere. Cringey loli. Cringey power techniques and really? Bow telling you to shoot the dragon down. |
 |
| wtf Titta ur voice gives me cancer. Oh and wow... more hot girls with HUGE oppais... why am i not surprised? That blondie's breasts are even bigger than her head! Gosh they're all so big... Oh and also a breast sucking scene, hue. Not surprised there at all either~ But overall it was ok~ |

| This show's fucking terrible |
| Zion was a cowardly, dumb ass. He will not be missed. Lord Tigre FTW!!! Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| The chess pieces wasn't that entertaining. They only told the strategies for the battle and that's it. They didn't even spend few seconds for the clashes and mowing down the enemies. The dragon was suppose to take down hundreds before it got killed off by Ellen. Also, it was suppose to be 2 shots to take down that last dragon. Ahh.. can't expect to stay true to the light novel I guess. |
| Titta is annoying. She constantly makes some kind of moaning or whining noise that's so freaking irritating. the hell is that chess like cgi animation? I don't like it. It's informative about the fight yeah but most of the time the narrator only tells us things that we already know like "the Zchted army are being led by Elen and Tigre" I'm like wow what a surprise I didn't know that. still that war was entertaining. Entertaining because it was funny. But entertaining nonetheless. I didn't know that bow allows you to use a passive attack skill. noice. |
 |
| Good episode. I liked how they showed the war with these little cutscenes, because it gave you more overview about what's going on. Elen for sure is OP as fuck. Oneshotted that dragon with this super attack. But also Tigre made an OP shot and took energy from Elens sword? That looked definitely nice. Double oneshot for those two dragons lol. Haha Zion, at first he got shot in his hand and now his arm, that must be hurt. |
 |
| The action scene is lame. Low budget, I guess :/ I liked the strategy doe. I was hyped with the dragon but kinda one sided defeat. 3.7/5 |
 |
Saulenger said: ...those tripple headshots were ridiculous. This, OMG. I kept thinking, "How is he getting those arrows to fan out horizontally to hit three guys without flipping his bow 90 degrees?" THEN shortly after that he finally puts his bow horizontal... only to shoot single arrows! WTF?! I get it that anime doesn't need to be realistic but if your going to have him change the way he fires a bow, at least have it make sense. |
| I don't need no instructions to know how to rock! |
| Seems like the army fight was really amazing. The rest was pure cliche episode. Lend him your strength? What is this, like 12? Not impressive at all, when you can just cop out and use your magical powers. Okay use of Chekov's gun. BTW, someone give that bald guy a wig. It is gonna become a recurring nightmare. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| Elen's attack looked kinda meh I guess and the protagonist suddenly getting a powerup is also nothing usual. At least the female MC is not annoying. |
| I really love this anime, the chess pieces were really creative and they showed the progress of the battle incredibly well. Loved seeing Zion blown out of the sky, he wasted a perfectly good dragon 🐉 Poor Titta! doesn't she know that the cute short one never gets the guy in anime? 👧🏻 Needed more eechi. |
| Aw man that poor dragon. He should've spared it since it was just following orders. He only needed to kill Zion. That was an interest strategy of inflating their numbers to cause a panic in their enemy. I wish it can be done in Ck3 too. In the game, if you have lesser numbers, unless the terrain is on your side and you have a capable commander, its a guaranteed loss. |
| terrible cg but the battle and the tactics were so good. i hoped for a more interesting battle with the dragons but it was alright. so far i like how good the drawn art it but that maid is so damn annoying |
 Maybe watching, maybe reading, probably living |
