pikel69 said: shiro_kai said: I like how his death had a meaning and didn't make the first episode pretty stupid. Why is he even in the banner of the show. Now seriously. are they trying to make a Loli version of Legend of the Galactic Heroes? He is in the banner so that people don't expect his death so early. Perhaps, but at the same time it may mean that the memory of him will be important for the whole plot, or for example, they are going to resurrect him or he will survive somehow. In any case, the intrigue turned out good. |
 |
| Well shit, that just went from 0 to 100 pretty fast didn't it |
| WTF, why did he suddenly die? I thought it was just an injury? :( |
| lmao he made a survival flag but ended up to death. pretty interesting i expect more darker scripts and I believe the two units would ultimately realize the battle is meaningless throughout numerous sacrifices. |
| Damn, Joshua had to kick the bucket from early in the series and it's a shame because I kinda liked him. I wonder how will the story go from this, I'm so really curious especially about the ponytail girl and her encounter with the princess. |

Now thinking about it. There seems to be a 5 day time skip. It's also possible something else happened to him during those days as the city was besieged |
| OH MY GOD. What a turn of events in a short period of time, but I'm so hooked now. This is really good, wow. I can't wait for how Yuki will recover because of this. |
 |
| Lmfao dialogues from the kingsman movie just pop to my mind when Yuki sees the dead Joshua Richmond Valentine: Is he dead? Gazelle: that tends to happen when you got a shrapnel pierce your stomach Not the actual line of Gazelle but it's just too funny and something tells me Joshua will pull a deux ex machina, Kira "Jesus" Yamato 2.0 anyone? Lol hope he stays dead tho, yuri ftw |
| Holy shit, Joshua is f'kin die. |
| LOL from the first episode I always wondered why he didn't take the lead in the opening |
にゃんぱす! |
| Joshua really died !!! I did not expect that, he seemed like important character cause the two episodes were all about him |
| Whoa that was unexpected, him to die this SOON, I do wonder why he is in the banner though !? |

| I thought that blue girl, Stella was grown-up version of Yuuki, not to mention the old dudes, Harold and Gain, resembles each other. 1. Joshua dies from this side. 2. Break dies from that side... X. Yuuki and Stella are left alive. Yuri Yuri?! |
| well then since Joshua is dead I guess from here on it's gonna be a Yuri thing for Yuki and Stella. |

Yuri is the only genre in which there are two female mc, therefore, it is obvious that between them there can be no other relationship than romance.

| ..he died because those bombs won't detonate at last second. classic |
 |
| I thought Joshua is the main protagonist but nope, he's the best character. I cried when Joshua died. 😭 |
| "Just because I’ve gotten weaker, it doesn’t mean that you got stronger, right?" |
| How absolutely dare they! KILL OFF JOSHUA LIKE THIS? Man and i don't like the fact the princess is gonna stay all smiley. I want her slow descent into vengeance! Not Joshuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa But her people are rude. How they gonna crown her the ruler but then lie to her about the war? |
Dankle7 said: Even if she is under 18, it is obvious that she still has the age difference with Yuki and the plot does not attempt to imply them as a couple. People need to have extremely sweated yuri goggles to think that having two female MC should instantly turn the show into a lesbian romance.And stella is no near 18 yo. |
|
| Wait, wut?!? Haha they build everything up like their actions are actually going to have an impact on the survival of the city and not only do they still end up losing (for some reason), one of the main(?) characters ends up almost dying, but doesn't, but still does later... It seems like they are trying to recreate something akin to Aldnoah Zero.. and I won't even disgrace LoGH by comparing it to that yet.. but so far it's.. odd. Hoping for a bit more explanation next episode. |
| With Joshua dead, it will be another (stupid) anime focusing on girls relationship (probably friendship)... Well the opening somehow spoiled it. No mecha anime this season for me I guess... |

| From variety of posts it seems like all of us were shock about Joshua! I clearly was!! I was so rooting for him, actually it is brave for anime to take a turn like this, I guess they want us let go on Joshua before it gets to heavy. I really like this show, I am excited to see where it goes!! |
| Feel free to check my anime list profile and my twitter account The Future Is Ani1!! For all things anime!! I hope you have great day!! |
| Was it really that surprising for you guys that Joshua died? His MECH didn't explode or something lika that. If his MECH had exploded, a weirdo in the mountains would probably have nursed him back to health, but he was hit by a splinter and said "I don't die yet" (or something like that). I think it was pretty clear, that he will die. And to be honest, I'm happy he died. I can't hear Matsuoka as an VA anymore. The only thing he does is screaming and that annoys me. So the Anime does me a favor with his death, because now we have like 70% less screaming in it. So far it's an decent anime and I'm sure I'm going to enjoy him. |
jerat said: wow. wow, The MC dies suddenly, now I have a reason to see one more episode from this show. I guess will be a weak Flash Forward. Why do so many people think that Joshua was meant as MC? Show never portrayed him as an MC and did not even try to create the illusion of it. From the very beginning he was presented only as a side character by Yuki's side.

The show still has a fantasy tag and, combined with his excessive presence in official art, this leaves a chance that they will resurrect him with the help of some kind of magic or SCIENCE. |

Saw it coming a mile away look at the opening theme it was always about them (the two girls)the are even listed as the main and Joshua as a supporting character,now that they finally got rid of Joshua I would not be surprise if it turns yuri I need my mecha and this is definitely not it. |

Can you name at least one reason why it should be yuri, except that there are two female MC here? Seriously, this is not even funny. |

Honestly I know it does not make sense but this is the way the life is these days any show with two female mc is going to be yuri baiting as I said I know it does not make sense but this is how most people think especially on MAL they act like two people of the same sex cold never share a close friendship and the funny thing is its not all there fault some blame lies on the way the show is portrayed anyway if its ends up not going in the direction that I think it would go all is well if not well thats cool also but I think I would wait until it finish before I watch. |

This is not even a yuri bait show like Love Live or Eupho. You sound like shonen's yaoi fangirl, who see a romantic potential in any interaction between the two guys ... However, modern yuri fans are not much different. |

Oh lord where do I begin with this mess,why would you stoop to this level why?did I call you any names or disrespect you in anyway first thing why would you say I sound like a shonen's yaoi fangirl yes I like shonen but I am not a shipping yaoi fangirl in a way I kind of hate romance according to what kind of show I watch,anyway what I was trying to say is that yes it is the stupid way other people see things like same gender friendship is romance I am not implying that it is true but this is the way how most people now interpret friendship (ESPECIALLY ON MAL).I really find it funny how you would attack me in this manner I am sorry if I offended you in any way I just thought we could of have a proper discussion without the insults but I guess I asked for too much from you. |

What insults, what attacks, lol? However, if for you a comparison with yaoi fangirl is such a terrible insult, then I apologize. I just want to say that at least at the time of the third episode, the show didn't have even a one hint of yuri. |

Yes I is do think it was an insult do you see how they behave yaoi fangirls are cancer lol I will admit I do like yaoi but I am not a crazy fangirl anyway my plan was to watch it (maybe lol) when it finish its run honestly I really hate female protagonist I cant explain why cause it might take whole night but I am a person who cant stand cgdct anime or any thing close to it I rather a mix main cast than one gender I liked Joshua so now that hes gone I dont know if I am interested in watching it or not but if it turns out by the end that it was good I may give it a try |

| The mech battles remind me of Argevollen. They were done well in my opinion. So, we'll see the story from both point of views. If I will root for Grandiga too, depends on if their country's issues are due to a lack of resources or because of incompetence, negligence or greed. The scene with Yuki was sad, considering that I barely knew this character and he wasn't particularly likeable. |

| Good. They killed kirito. |
 |
| What? It seems that the show have no problems to kill an important character in the second episode. But the death flags were everywhere. We know more about Joshua's past but he was killed in the end. I didn't think this would happen. I feel bad for Princess Yuki. |

| The 1st eps could have ended on this "shock" (as the perturbation element). The 2nd one would then have been busy with introducing properly the actual 2nd main character. 3/5 |
| goddamit Joshua That scream was a visual orgasm to my eyes. I love it when anime gets edgy. I was right picking this up. |

 |
| Me: "Uhm I don't know, Joshua doesn't fully convince me yet. I guess I should give his character development a few more episodes." *Moments Later* Yuuki: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Me: "Oh..." Well, his death was so unexpected it really caught me off guard. That said, some part of me still thinks he's alive and it's all a masquerade for... manipulative purposes, maybe? I mean, his death would be a perfect way to convince Yuuki about the empire being their enemies and so, an official declaration of war would be the only action to take. Honestly, I would love it if that were the case. That said, it was a pretty entertaining episode overall. |
