| More generic chaste MC being a mahou shoujo, more SFX, more cgi, more explosions and not much of actually good choreography or directing. Zestria as usual. Berseria hijacking the plot WHEN? 3/5 xenovibe said: Well it is a Ufotable series after all, that's what they do. They did not do it with ubw :^) |
 |
| So Edna decides to tag along with the Shepherd in training and Lailah. The bridge to Marlind is destroyed and Alisha takes an alternate path to the city to give them the medicine she has. And Sorey comes to help and they meet Drake who starts fighting the giant snake like hellion probably because it was trespassing into its territory or something. Or because he was hungry lol. And Mikleo meets Atack who is a normin and looks like a fun guy or whatever he is. He has some relationship with Lailah and is making it out to be something questionable lol. He's fun and will probably play the role of the comedic relief here. I mean, the background music changed for that guy. Lol how Lailah was rushing through all that crap she had to say for the pact. It was necessary but the dragon was going wild so she had to speed up lol. And Mikleo x Sorey is such a strong combo. One arrow and the dragon is done for. And since the doragon was young, it can be purified. But Sorey doesn't know what exactly purification means to him so he has to figure that out. |
| This episode was quite awsome, enough action and transformations. I hope more explanations. |

| why are they calling the dragon Drake? lol |

Axelucard said: why are they calling the dragon Drake? lol Drake, in terms of fantasy, usually refers to a younger or lesser dragon. I think you can figure out the rest with the Japanese calling it a "Dragon Puppy". |
Tyrel said: j0x said: Purified. thats a very good episode, so what happened to the Drake? was it destroyed or purified? if purified then where is the human or hellion of it? nice to see Alisha again she and Lalaih are a sight for sore eyes interesting, thanks for that info dude |
| This episode was soooooo goood! Sorey's transformation was awesome! I loved his fight scenes and those three sets of armor were all too epic! Attak seems like an interesting little character. I'm hoping they explain more about his relationship with Lailah. Edna too is becoming a more interesting character. Am thoroughly enjoying this show, despite the seemingly slow pace of the story telling. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Dragon puppy... I actually laughed out loud. |

Because yeah, 13 is definitely not enough. So now worries there. Nice thanks for the info :D |
| Not your average "puppy" I believe, and that love relationship... |

Actually, while it is used that way, Drake and Dragon generally was the same word, Drake is simply old english form of it. Using term like that fits the whole setting I guess. |

| M'BABE, MIKLEO, IS BACK! That transformation with Sorey was awesome! Mi-Bo! |

| Fantastic episode like usual. Loved how Sorey and Mikleo's transformation was animated, so fucking top notch with them taking out the Drake. Also lol at Atakk and Lailah, the true otp of the series. Also Edna and Mikleo are now in the same place, some of my favorite character interactions from the game are about to begin :D |
 |
| Mi-bi xD lmao Great and an intense episode once again, now Surey got Edna, Mi-bi in his Sub lord pact wonder who's next lol That storm tho, got fucked up by a Dragon(Puppy). fucking crazy looking storm. Overall really Great episode! |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| He could've just used a dragonrend shout. Seeing him shift powers like that made me a bit interested about the game, so I have to ask, is it worth checking out? |
| Is Atakk supposed to be the mascot character of Zestiria like Mieu is for Abyss? Because I'm starting to really like that Normin Seraph. Power is... Normin! |
|
Tenshi_Shura said: Is Atakk supposed to be the mascot character of Zestiria like Mieu is for Abyss? Because I'm starting to really like that Normin Seraph. Power is... Normin! Kind of. In the game it's pretty much a mini-game to find them and only a couple are story related. After you find one you can assign it to a specific area and doing so will make it more likely that the stat the Normin represents will have a higher chance of appearing on gear dropped in that area. |
| As a person that has not played the game, I am really loving this series. It almost feels like a video game, like I'm watching someone else play it. Cheesy sounding I know. The directors/producers seemed to "cut to the chase" as far as the editing was concerned in this episode (in my opinion). Things moved along quickly, "hard outs" from one scene to the next. I guess they don't have time to dwell on stuff cause there are only 3 more episodes left in this season. In any event, another beautiful episode from Ufotable. This "Tales" is worth playing right? If so, I need to scoop it up this week and get to work. I need to experience more of this world while we are waiting for the second cour. |
 |
| Great ep, loved the bonding with Mikleo at the end. |
| Another great episode as always The episode also address one of the flaws in his character which is that he wants to help everyone while at the same time not knowing how to purify a person. Lol that normin seraph was cute so Normin's are more of support seraphs than front line ones like Lailah is then eh You have to give Alisha credit though because she's determined and brave and when she has a goal in mind she won't be deterred by anything. The fact that she is determined to get to Marlind and deliver the supplies tells us that she cares about the people unlike that chancellor. Alisha may just be human but she is just as equal to the others and is not entirely useless as people say she is. That storm though is far from ordinary in the first place Still to think that the fight between Sorey and the oroboros will be hijacked by the drake lol Its unfortunate that the drake managed to get away but at least he managed to purify the oroboros at least. Man Marlind has been turned in a dead city by the plague and looks so gloomy but with both Sorey and alisha here to help them things would improve Every episode Sorey's powers increase and now Alisha can hear the other seraphs easily this is the character dev that we need That drake though is powerful and actually looks like one as well lol That fight against the drake though was good and its nice to see Mikhelio being useful. And at last the plague is over Overall a good episode that featured strong story and strong combat and character development Next week's episode looks like it would focus on Alisha which is good since her character needs to be featured more and besides Alisha is not completely useless in a fight. Compared to Sorey even the best human general will be outmatched anyway can't wait till next week |

Watching this episode in other quality rather than 1080p is a SIN. Is it only me or this episode felt rushed? I mean, it has that strange vibe that everything is handled with a fast pacing. I don't know if I got that right but, purifying has some side effect to Sorey? Anyway, the animation is amazing and that last attack was epic. Anyway, Mikleo is now MIBO! xD  PD: Yeah, Alisha also had development but being honest, it was outcasted by the rest of the episode's plot, which is a shame. Dragon Puppy... *laughs* |

| Another Flashy episode! Sorey keeps getting stronger and with the help of Mikleo they got the Armatus Bow from the OP that we've seen Atakk is also cute! A Normin Tenzoku! 5/5. |

Hamudanu said: Suddenly Sorey is Left Handed he grab the bow with right hand and shoot with left hand i always fans of Archery, Bow and Magic feel so good when both fused and today i watch some Great Animation of Magic Archery make me say "WOW" by the way, What weapon Edna's armatization is? A Shields? A Gauntlets? I think your talking about her PARASOL! xD Joke |
| 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. |
| Wow i'm very impressed, this was probably the best episode xD I forgot that Mikleo can be like Lailah and that other girl, basically they are his armors :3 That bow look so badass. |

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! <3 <3 <3 |
| Ara Ara~ |
| Great episode. The action was terrific, not to mention the visuals were as incredible as ever. Mikleo and Sorey make a kickass combo! Still ship Sorey x Lailah. |
| Ahahahaha what a moron. Trying to solve everything by cutting it, that's what happens when you grow up in a remote village with no experience of the real world. I speak from experience. What a wonderful battle to end the episode, though, I wish we could have at least had a glimpse of how the water dude beat all those wolves. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Man that rain was fearsome. The atmosphere this episode was exceptionally well. And the story flowed very well. I think it was my favorite episode yet. Absolutely brilliant. Loved every character. Looks like I'm gonna enjoy Mikleo/Edna interactions. |
 |
| It was pretty amazing episode. antonn said: Rafa-EL-Kenzo said: So he has water,fire,earth seraphims whats next wind :O? Wind, then Heart. Together they'll form:  I kek'ed :v |
 |
| As expected, the Water transformation was objectively the best looking, best animated, and arguably the most powerful one yet. The bromance level is off fucking the charts; Sorey and Mikleo have what, 5 minutes of screentime together and it's enough to make the episode 5 times better than it already was. That being said I don't dislike any of the other characters, and I hope we'll see a bit more of Alisha kicking ass: she always tries her best, so I think a little bit of personal success is well deserved and long overdue. |

| B-b-but you have no dick? The water transformation was pretty epic...the fire one is still my fav though. |
 |
| The transformation was nice. |
 |
| I feel bad for Alisha damn. 'Ah yes, a man-woman thing,' Milkleo agreed, nervously sweating. |

| short combat!!! Miklelo arrive a time....beautiful arc!!! |
| Much of the episode, it slipped away in the speeches, but at least you do a step forward with the plot and at last the group meets, the small Atakk, is cute but also a little irritating with his voice. Not bad action, the best part, is the soundtrack. |
 |
| Atakk is so cute id buy a plushie of him |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Great episode. Bit odd how Mikleo's English voice was changed so suddenly, though. |
| My God look at that visual art and animation. Atakk lol. Did they just call a drake a puppy? |
 |
| Every transformation gives me goosebumps! |
 |
| Danggg. So much action in this episode. I just kept going "DAMNNNN". Bromance is back together. In the dub, everybody was going crazy because they replace Mikleo's voice actor. HAHAHA. But he's back in the next episode so don't worry. Michael must've gotten sick or something but I thought that Aaron was a pretty great substitute. The only Seraph that Sorey needs left is Air. Unless Sorey is the air one. Wait, no. HAHAHA. Edna and Mikleo are already bickering. |
| ATAKK IS SO CUTE OH MY GOSH |
| Pretty great episode in general, really love this development! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| The pacing is this episode is terrible. If they were just animating the boss fights and transformations, ToZX would have been a lot better because everything else is... tacked on. Except the previews; they're the best thing. |
