| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Good battles this episode especially the second half imo. Narsus' battle strategies are always so clever. Arslan has improved his personal combat skills as well and leadership abilities somewhat. Daryun's fight was short but worth watching as well. lso glad to see Gieve return in combat. The aftermath of the fight is a mess though but I think it depicts a realism of war. GG Turan. That cliffhanger though ;o |

| Another very good episode, but the dialogue seemed oddly quiet compared to the music audio and other effects. It seems obvious now, but I never expected Andragoras to actually regroup with Arslan and take his place like that. I assumed he'd just find a small force of his own and inevitably lose/get captured again or die with Arslan only finding out later being busy with his own issues. Not surprised that he'd exile Arslan like this mind you, but a bit that Arslan doesn't seem like he'll fight it much. |

| Officially hate Andagoras..arslan is probably not his son..so he likes to f arslan around.. though now it explains why the gang is dressed up in casual clothes throughout the op and ed.. i hope arslan could kill his "dad" one day and claim the thrown.. |
| I'm glad Gieve returned to their group so soon, I remember thinking he would be away from them for an extended amount of time when he first went off on his own. Andragoras is now playing a more significant role in the story, and that seems to be causing more problems for Arslan, as indicated by the end of the episode. I feel like Arslan is gonna have a rough time dealing with the fact that he got exiled, but he should pull through. Also, what the hell was up with the sound this episode? The music seemed super loud and the dialogue could barely be heard at times. |

| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |

| Good episode. My only complaint is the sound of the tracks in the background was overwhelming we couldn't hear what they said at most of the times on the battlefield though they were merely calling each other out and taunting each other. If someone was watching without subs, he wouldn't understand well what's being said. But that aside, the story progressed well and as usual narsus and his great strategies. But damn Andragoras is cruel . So my theory, in order to assemble 50K men and pull through, Arslan will have to get the pirates on his side to march back to his father. |

| I wish I remembered more about first season. Arslan probably isn't his son (like some dude above said), right? BTW, nice to see him upgrading his fighting skills, but I wish he would be smarter sometimes, I mean, contribute with the "intel", cause Narsus is winning every battle alone, basically... It would be cool if Arslan started being this wit as well. So far I've been liking this season better than the previous one, some development for our silver haired boy, I feel. Guess he is gonna take all his buddies with him, eh? At least I hope so. I also hope the King gets fucked, too much of a brute and terrible father, not to say, stupid as well. On another note, the sound for this episode was terrible, unfortunately, but the experience was not ruined. |

| It seems that Narsus' decision to let Arslan talk alone with the Monarch is the perfect choice. Another chance for Arslan to learn more about war. And talking about "perfect", it seems Gieve just come back to the team at perfect timing too. |

| Can't hear their voices the horses and the battle sound effect is to loud Arslan should start a revolt he will have 100% of the people's support |

| I hope Andragoras dies soon... |

| Great episode, if I could hear their voices... This episode in itself was a 9.5/10 for me. But the sound brings it down to 8/10. |

| Damn, the vocal track was too low during half the episode. Annoying. Andragoras is an ungrateful, vicious bastard. What Arslan did was textbook, he didn't even know if his "father" was alive or not. I'm well aware that it's been perfectly hinted that Arslan is not his son, but he should at least pretend in front of his subjects. As much as I dislike Ironmask, I prefer him to Andragoras. So exile it is, but I suppose Arslan get's to take his friends with him. |

| Even if that was planned, Arslan was too reckless as a commander, charging right into the enemy's commander, I bet he forgot that this isn't Dynasty Warriors Andragoras....a badass, a bad, and an ass. I hope Arslan revolts |

| Everyone there was loyal to Arslan, why didnt they oppose the king?... |
SkullProX said: Everyone there was loyal to Arslan, why didnt they oppose the king?... Because first and foremost , they are the king's subordinates. Arslan was just acting as a proxy before the king arrived as daryun said. Plus arslan told him to stand down when he opposed the king. On another note, i loved that they kept my favorite OST from S1 . The one that played when naraus was speaking to the Turanian King. |
|
| I knew it, I knew Andragoras was going to ruin everything. |
| I'm really satisfied of Arslan's character development. Not a lot of characters are able to grow strong yet maintain their naive and kind personality even at the worst times. I'm so glad Gieve came back to the group. It was about time :) Still ugh, I'm annoyed at the King. I really wonder how this anime will move forward in this situation now. My idea is to get the King gone but I know it isn't going to happen... |
| Gosh darn it, Andy (that's what I'm calling the king, now, it's faster), y u do dis. You were so savage the first episode, now you're just savagely an asshole. Well, I guess that explains what Arslan and the gang are doing on a ship, I was wondering how that tied into them getting back to saving Ecbatana. So far he's got 8/50,000 (assuming Arslan, Daryun, Narsus, Elam, Alfreed, Geive, Farangis, Jaswant). Not off to a great start. Does Azrael count? |
| So, now that Andragoras has taken over and that 'punishment' he gave Arslan we're effectively back at square one. Thanks a lot, dad. Also, why were the music and sound effects so loud compared to the dialog in this episode? Super weird. |
| I am really enjoying this. I'm actually glad Andragoras came back and exiled Arslan because now he's gonna have to keep on getting stronger and stronger both as a warrior and as a ruler in order to create his own army and conquer pars in order to pass on his ideals. Oh man I can't wait for his fight with Andragoras that's gonna be epic. It's a shame this is only 8 eps, I'm sure there's more material to adapt. One bad thing I have to mention though was the sound during the battle. Do they not watch the episode before it airs or something? The music was amazing and the war sound effects were great, but the whole thing sounded like shit because you couldn't hear what the characters were saying. It's a good thing the majority of us watch it subbed so we were able to read what was being said but for the Japanese viewers I can't imagine they would have been able to make out what was being said without re watching it a few times. Well it was probably just a mistake but it's one that really shouldn't happen. |

I noticed that since on yt many said they had no issues while others said they had issues and also some of the comments here stated it. |

| Great fight. Sigh..why is there only 8 episodes this season. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Oh Gieve is back, nice to see him get the lights lol Narsus and his brilliant strategies as usual I'm always impressed with how he maneges to put both mind and heart together, as expected of a man who has in him both the science of war and art, Arslan did great too and I have to say it the soundtrack was awesome! |
| The part with Andragoras returning and (indirectly) exiling Arslan was the best part of the episode, as the battle against Turan was predictable ("oh, look! Another time Narsus's plan ends giving the victory to the heroes, what a surprising outcome" =_=), and again, the plot armor of Arslan it's so thick even made Gieve return in time to save him. Hope this exile makes Arslan grow more as a character, because that would be great to see. He achieving his victories using his own ways of recruiting soldiers and not because people follow him for his lineage would be a great chance to make him gain more followers. |

Its Funimations fault... they fucked up the sounds while they were subbing cause the sounds were pretty normal in the raws Huuh, really...? I might wanna check out the raws then XD I don't really know how subbing works - how could they fuck the sounds up this badly? |
|
| Why are the damn sound fx and the music louder than the voices? I can barely hear them. So damn annoying. I think there were also issues with the audio in season 1. |

Been looking forward to this since I saw the original OVAs over a decade ago! Hope funi fixes the audio soon, but I gotta say that was some quality foley work with the horse-hoof sounds. ;P |

No drop crew, Loyal husband, sadomasochist, H&E bully, AWC fan. Click sig for n00dz!  |
| WTF I didn't saw that coming...? I think this was one of the bests episodes and I can't wait to see what Arslan will do. |
 |
| I wonder who did the sound this episode :| |
| "Because people don't have wings.. We look for ways to fly." |
| FUNimation ruining the sound of the series yet again... God bless. |
 |
| Eh, Andragoras exiling Arslan doesn't really make much sense at all. It's clearly a worse alternative to letting Arslan just continue on doing what he's been doing. Makes it feel kinda forced in order to put Arslan on the backfoot again. |
 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
| Great episode, Andragoras being a barbarian and acting like one is quite expected imo. FUNi ruined the sound again, well besides this error the episode was really enjoyable to watch. |
 |
| Andragoras must be threatened by arslan, he probably wasn't expecting arslan to be this charamatcic and influencial in his army when he named him crown prince. It's going to be annoying watching arslan start from zero again and rebuild but at least this time he has grown as a character so it might be a lot quicker than before. Laslty it the sounds this episode was way off, you could barely hear them talking over the freaking blade clashes and music, hope it's not like that again. |
| lololol andragoras is scared like lil bitch, exiling arslan right away. anyway, fuck you funimation for ruining this episode with the sound. |
 |
| I fully expect Andragoras to get himself killed eventually, he just has to keep trying. It would be consistent with the character. |
