| That.....was f***ing awesome. Best fight scenes in any of the spring anime so far. I can see why it was licensed early. This is definitely moving up in my spring anime power rankings. I am so looking forward to the next episode |
 |
| Ahh, I'm going to pick this series up right now! |
| Ditto - the fight scenes were brilliant. Much better than the last episode, I'd say. I can't believe it's licensed after three episodes though! |
 |
| it was actually licensed before airing |

I am so looking forward to the next episode I'm gonna go ahead and say that's the best episode I've seen so far in any of the spring animes. Seems the has picked up the pace judding from the preview. And we got a little more insight characters in this episode as well. I'm defenitely looking foward for the next! |

| love it, |
I will rock your world ;-) |
| Hmmm... I was thinking about d/l and watching this one... but hadn't decided for sure. You guys have convinced me. I reckon I'll be d/l this one when I get home... |
| This is seriously really good. I'm in tethers waiting for the next episode. Balsaaaa!!! |
 |
| Wow just watched the episode and had to come and read the topic on this episode, and wow it blew me away.. the fight scenes were insane. From those 2 scenes alone, this anime rocks.. it helps that it looks pretty and has a nice story so far as well :D |
  |
| OK... after this discussion, I went home last night, and watched all 3 episodes back to back. And just WOW!!! Yes... the fight scenese are AWESOME... I'm really going to enjoy this series... and I want more. Whoever started the discussion on this series, thank you... otherwise, I would have let it pass right on by. |

| those fight scenes were gawdly. looking forward to more of those. |

| This series is worth watching for the fight scenes alone. They take such pains to detail every move realistically. It's not just cut scenes with a "fwoosh." Her spearhead unraveling, that was genius, as well as the fight with Jin. That's survival fighting right there. Gung ho, Balsa. She's great. I like that she's not invincible, and I hope we see more of Jin. ;) I also like the pacing of this series. This is one of the only shows where I haven't counted the minutes until the end of the episodes, no awkward/melodramatic lines either, very grounded. Simple story but well executed. |
| awesome fight scene, I wonder if the guy she smashed with the rock is dead :| |
     |
| Oh I liked the guy who got developed then died. Good fight scenes too. |
| My anime list |
| Show's picked up some, awesome fights scenes. Also Chagum seems to be developing the strength the move on his own rather than relying on other people. |

| yeah this story is actually getting good |
| Production I.G. rules, I wish the fights were longer, but I loved what we got. This anime might be jumping into my top ten favorites. |
 |
| Once I saw a little bit of the fighting I had a big smile on my face for most of the episode. |
| Dayum. The fight between the two spear users was mindblowing. |
| I WANT TO SHINE ON YOU, AND ALWAYS LIKE THE DAZZLING SUUUUN. I WILL DEFEND YOU, FROM THE DARKNESS, THIS IS TRUE TRUTH FROM MA HEART... TRUTH FROM MA HEART... |
| This episode was stunning. Who were those fighters at the end? Why did they disappear? Didn't that girl look an awful lot like Balsa herself? Who are the wolves and why did one of them guide the prince? So many questions... Wow, I'm hooked. |
 |
| Balsa must have been near death and hallucinating. Seeing scenes from her past or something. The fight scenes were Amazing! I could feel a lot of tension from this episode. This is exactly how anime should be done. |
| I was about to get bored after watching episode two. This episode stirred me up again to watch more. The action scenes were amazing. |
     |
| This was an awesome episode. I love the fighting scenes. I'm glad that the prince isn't like some cocky spoiled brat complaining about stuff. Balsa knows how to fight. |
| Really well made fight scenes,part where Balsa was on the ground and the 2 spearmen fought confused me at first but I worked out slightly before young her appeared that it was her past, really well put in. Only thing I felt was unreal in episode was that the assassin would go so far over the small show of kindness when the prince gave him the lollies, maybe in the heat of the moment that act of kindness meant a lot to him but I felt that was the only unreal part. |

The fighters at the end were from Balsa's past. The girl that looked like her must be herself that witnessed the fight in the past. As for the wolves, what are you talking about? Weren't the two wolves shown the same wolf? |
 |
| Good episode, but it wasn't that good. |
 |
| Loving how they didn't use the shounen trope of having the person on the very edge of death use willpower to kick ass and beat the baddie. Instead she was, well, near death and lying motionless and helpless. |
| ^ Agreed.. And this episode is where I started to like Chagum.. :) |
| This show is good. Too bad I didn't get around to it earlier. |
 |
| Amazing episode, fight scene's were win. This series is turning out to be quite fun |
| Awesome. The choreography for the fights was really nice and the animation too. And with that blood pumping background music.. Sweet. I was a bit confused at first with the two men fighting near Balsa, but after seeing the young Balsa, I figured it was from her past and the spear that one of the men had (I think it was the one that got killed) looked a lot like Balsa's spear, so I'm thinking she got it from there. |
 |
| Those fights were insane, wonder who the kid was at the end. Cliffhanger, guh. |
 |
| :P I'm already on ep 13, but I had to come back to talk about this episode since I didn't get into the discussions earlier. Man this was an awesome episode! The battles, the hints at her past, Chagum being forced to act on his own, Balsa kicking butt in an awesome way, and the realism. She's not perfect. She can be killed. She does have a dark past that haunts her... so much better than all the anime that have invincible heroes. And the choreography!!! I want to learn to fight like that! I love it all. The only parts of this series that I don't like so far are the bits with the royal family and the star readers... and even those contribute to the story despite being a bit boring. I'm looking forward to watching the rest. |
 |
| that wolf looked fat... Anyways Balsa kicks ass, and it is nice to see evenly matched and realistic fights. |
| Awesome fight, Balsa's hit and run tactics. How they made Balsa injured after encountering 4 Hunters was balanced, no woman power overwhelm here. Too bad the Hunter who carried Chagum didn't have the time interact with him, and to thank him The 2 spearmens fight was amazing too Spoiler for me, of course she wouldn't die hehe |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| The fight scenes are freaking amazing! Changum is very brave and strong willed, you don't see his type very much for princes in his position; usually they are whinny and can't do anything for themselves. |
 |
| Awwwesome episode! The fighting scenes were just beyond amazing. The animation is so fluid and gorgeous... The story itself is also getting good! I like how Chagum is so determined to not be a damsel prince in distress, and how he presses on even when he's scared. :) I was kind of confused about the two guys fighting as Balsa lay there? She imagined it all? Was that Saya that appeared? Also just imagined...? Ehhh! I think I'm the only one who's lost about this. DX |
| I think I be screaming if I had to walk on that ridge. I actually think he should crawl |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Wow! Now that was some of the best fight scenes I've ever seen! Hmmm sucks if the guy who got hit by the rock is dead though and the pacing is really nice too. Already a 8/10 for the series XD |
| O__O Who animates this? Because they freaking deserve a raise. No matter how much they're earning, it won't be too much. That was so awesome. Also, I already like Chagum so much, and that is something (not even mentioning Balsa, it's a given :P). Because I never like kids in anime. They annoy me. Actually, I don't like kids outside anime either. They annoy me even more. And he managed to be sweet enough and determinated (despite being scared and in a baww-worthy situation) at the same time, and he's just...adorable. I hope he only develops from there, although I'm not sure how much more I could like him x3 |

| WOW the fight is so damn awesomeee! |
| The fight scenes in this show are indeed very good. Glad I picked this up. If this show manages to maintain these kinds of fights throughout the story, then I'm going to love this. |
