They are not going to kill all the cast guys. Even with all the changes they are following the original more or less.

You will see next episode.

No they won't. We already know how this ends as they are going to follow the story even with the unnecesary changes.

So one death per episode? So far everything seems quite predictable. Not sure if I should keep watching it or not.

Solid episode, I like the way this plot is advancing, Kai's death was very sad but necessary I think since the impact it made on the MC was strong.

Except "I will not touch people because I'm scared of killing them", the sex of Gen character, the whole "I need to kill my friends to gain power", the fact that the girl killed in the first episode was supposed to be an antagonist, the fact that the country was NOT invaded at all...

That's minor changes.
The gen's character gender change is actually a positive because it fixes an uneven gender ratio in the show adding another strong and important female character.
The Girl dying or living were both possible outcomes in the actual RPG so its still minor change
.
The country invasion is a minor change in overall line of things - the countries are still at standstill, it just gives more reason for the protagonist to want to resolve it all and join the team.

Don't get me wrong some changes(how the power works) make me scratch my head, but nothing so far is anything major anyway.

I wasn't expecting anything great, but to see the story animated is enough for me. Again, I'll give praise to the OP and ED.

The fighting was ok, but it felt very choppy in terms of the flow. Perhaps they may improve in that aspect, we'll see.

Someone mentioned somewhere about how Swallow uses his curse to his advantage: using the maximum effectiveness of an item in exchange for consumption of said item. Iirc, Ibuki also has a curse in which a meaningful sacrifice is needed to gain power. In terms of ability Ibuki has the greater destructive power but at a greater cost, and I'm willing to see what he decides to do with the power in the end.

stupid!!!
seriously, killing close friend each time he need dragon power.

it is useless, he will be run out of friends quickly, and all new meeting will be used as excuse to sacrifice.

without power he won't be able to protect his friends, with power he will quickly end with no friends to protect. useless power, useless plot

the end of anime is obvious:
ibuki will meet the dragon, give him back his curse and finishing alone without friend and power.
or like akame, he will die. whatever it will finish in tragedy for ibuki

it is easy, if the killed screen at the end of episode has 12 or 13 characters, we can conclude that each episode will have its ibuki friend sacrifice.

The end screen is less of "list of checkbox to tick by the end of the show" and more of "no one out of them is safe" kind of thing - they might all die or not a single character might be crossed out of it.

Not to mention as this episode shows, Ibuki's curse has some very weird interpretations running on an
dragon logic.

As for fight I feel hey are saving up budget for latter parts so as to not go out all out in the start and end up with nothing left for more important stuff like ufoubw

Agreed. Most of those "unimportant changes" are quite game changer & really make a difference. Well, it's too late now. This anime show cannot be saved.

That's not really a change. The one in the directional camera pan at the start of first episode looks at least the size of half the castle.

Half of the castle you say?

an okay episode. diggin nasu's character. guess the change in his character design from all the sword/sheaths to a revolver cylinder makes things more simplified and a little less "ridiculous"?..but i kind of still like all the old design..the blackened fists with the red chains and all the swords is just something i think is cool
maybe he will get them later as the anime progresses?

imma go on a limb here. The dragon has said twice now that to use his power it requires equivilant exchange. so far Ibuki has traded one life for the power to take another. sooooooo perhaps he will figure a loophole to get around this? otherwise this will just be horribly repetative and predictable.. maybe he will figure he can take an arm to get something he can make use of? of course this will make fights much more difficult for him but it's a price to pay.

Man I swear that death counter at the end of every episode is gonna really hurt me. It's terrible knowing, from the START, that no matter what our MC does, he's not going to be able to save a majority of them (considering most anime with an MC that steps up to an act of heroism always ends up saving at least one).

I'm at a loss for words. I thought the show was heading in a decent direction, but after reading all the comments, I realized that it wasn't even suppose to head in said direction at all.

The one death per episode situation is Akuma to Riddle worthy, and whilst some have mentioned that it won't be an entirely consistent recurring theme, I would assume that our MC isn't smart or vengeful enough to see the glaring loophole in regards to "people he has bonded with". The saying "keep your friends close, and your enemies closer" comes flying into the front of my mind here.

That said, considering how the first two episodes have already been laced with AO material, I"m still curious as to how things will pan out.

Will keep watching for now. Still interested in what this setting brings.

So why's he searching for the Red Dragon? It's gone berserk or sth? In that case how come that guy can communicate with him? Wtf.
