| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Welp, the anime is back and right off the bat, we got a flashback episode from 12 years ago. Honestly, I kinda see what they're aiming for to flesh out the main characters again but at this point, I wish they build more into the present story. Regardless, it's reaffirming the importance of Marlya and Veronica's relationship in this franchise. I'm going to keep my expectations low for the second season but really, really hope it improves. |
 |
| I really like the OP, it's catchy. For the episode it was some backstory about Marlya past etc be we already know it so this episode was a little useless. I don't expect this season to be good while I hated the S1 but I keep hopes for it to be at least fine. |
 |
| Good episode overall. I am in minority, probably, but I really like this series. The only complaint is this: official English subs for this ep. were quite bad. |
 |
| Seems that the village that served as home for Marlya, Ray and Veronica was quite a special place. Its nice that we got to see what Marlya's parents were like though i wished it was under better circumstances. The insight into what Ray's father was like as well was also insightful. Still to lose both her parents before growing up sure was a hard blow to Marlya and even more so when she's seen as the cursed child. Still this served to make the meeting between her and Ver that much more sweet. Even though it was already an historic event seeing village that served as their home be burned down and its people be slaughtered by Ray's forces sure was brutal. A strong ep that did well on expanding both the lore and of the backgrounds of Ray and Marlya by showing their past both their happy memories and ones that ultimately led Ray to commit the ultimate Sin. While featuring little action this ep served to introduce some much expansion on the two characters that were lacking back in s1. Curious to see what direction the series will go now though. Really liked the art style used in the ending visuals as well. |

| This first episode gave us a better look at Marlya, Ver, and Ray's background stories. We actually got to see a bit of what Marlya's parents were like and how the village treated her after the death of her parents and her being seen as a cursed child. Ver was treated like a princess and yet she is nothing like she was as a kid. I can understand completely why both Marlya and Ver hate Ray so much! He not only ordered the destruction of his hometown, but also the genocide of the entire village. He definitely committed a grave sin that should not be overlooked. Him being treated as a hero and having people chanting his name is appalling! I really hope that both Marlya and Ver are able to get their just dessert with someone killing Ray this season. |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
| Quite an important backstory episode about Marlya and Ray. |
 |
| Great episode compared to most of season 1. Someone clearly has read a book or two and there is now a line of suspense - all despite this being more of a summaritive episode. Character building has improved also, to be honest I had already forgotten the versee's name was Veronica. Here we had quite a bunch of likeable characters. I am quite hopeful after seeing this episode. |
 |
| Was there a point of murdering entire village? Or should I just dismiss it as a plot hole or author desperately needing s villain? |
 |
| I liked the episode. Can't give more than a 4/5 though. Liked the sound and visuals and the background. Unfortunately this series seems to have a habit of doing long flashbacks (already in previous cour) ... which is a bad thing for storytelling. Better would have been some short flashbacks every now and then. And then more cleverly timed. Would have loved to see that one about Ray Dawn much earlier. I only hope witht his they finished most background stuff and are going to focus on the plot - and maybe some talking between Maria and Veronica and Ray Dawn. Guess Maria will fight Veronica to defend Ray Dawn - next episode. Then talknig with Ray. And thb Ray looked a bit young in the flashback as child when Maria was born. Weird ... you would have expected him to be already older - cause now it seems like there is a bigger age gap. (Or Maria is older and just looks too younc compared to him or the birth of her was a bit later and not when the brothers - Ray and Jurgen - were in the forest.) |
| That episode was so good! ,,,,Only reason why i watch this is because of the lesbians, and now they have a fun little date in the forest with a lot of flirting and heartwarming cute moments ,,and then tragedy struck. This episode have a little bit of everything and the lighting effected are stunning as always when it comes to Fairy Gone!! And hopefully the lesbian lovebirds will be reunited in a near future, Great episode i give you 8/10 Good job!! I will definitely be watching next week!  |

| well am i thinking that Ray D*ckhead is a terrorist in this anime i had seen the first ep of the 1st half and what he did there was more of a war crime he made a genocide to kill many people which he can't forget it and he's just a sinner that should be hated and Ray Dawn should not be called a hero he's a murderer and i'm not going to watch the 2nd half of this sh*t it's still a traumatizing series to be dealth with i will watch something better instead :p |
| The current game that i play: Azur Lane :3 |
| Glad they used (K)NoW_Name for the OP song again, absolutely loved it in the first season. Can't say the show itself has gotten any better though. Which is disappointing, cause I'm interested in the world itself but the story it just feels so messily done. |
 |
| Nice! Impressive Second Season starter episode! i teared-up of the OST and Maryla's childhood flashback! 5/5. |
 |
| Bro fuck ray dawn. Op 2 is trash ngl but the ED is fire. I wish Know name’s music was licensed on Apple Music. I feel like when it comes to direction of the series, the staff is like when you show a teacher a rough draft and they tell you what to fix but you’re like nah fuck it because you’ve already put so much time into it. A lot of the cuts and direction could be done a lot better also the name dropping is still too much. That said I loved the backstory episode that we had been teased for weeks, now we finally understand the hatred. Despite what people say, I love this series, 8/10 first episode for me. |

| For a first episode that's technically Episode 13 the continuation, I'd say that this backstory of Ray Dawn, Marlya, Veronica, and the people related to the fairies, along with the devout town that houses them (that is Suna) that they now wield, is an EXTREMELY important one. Knowing how Marlya is constantly being heralded as the "Cursed Child" in the 1st cour, this backstory is justice to how she is raised from the lifeblood of her parents. And seemingly, Ray Dawn (then a commander turned Kal-O governor) was also caught up in this hellfire, with his brother guardian Jürgen taking up the responsibility to nurture Marlya, and Veronica meeting her in that fated fairy forest, absolutely devoid of her status. Both cursed and blessed children respectively, Marlya and Veronica are like the Yin and Yang. And the absolute trademark of Ray Dawn, is to annihilate the Suna village and the people in "excessive force" of the threat of the fairies, all for his own gains. That's how we got to how Episode 1 started the way it is without prior knowledge. "Show, don't tell" huh. There's no point for a revenge show if Ray Dawn doesn't get what he deserves for destroying both Marlya and Veronica's childhood. OP is trash, but ED was better than last. This was a legit episode, honest to God. Starting this episode finally answers most questions we had for the 1st cour, and going forward. |
 |
| Honestly, I'm not even sure how to feel off of this. For starters, (K)NoW_Name's music is the best part of the series. Nice to know this second season will likely feature their entire next album if they do insert song hell again. Getting into the episode, the fact that we are just now getting a backstory into our MC, Ver, and this guy who is supposed to be the villain but isn't or something so late into the story shows how poorly planned this plot is. Yes it delivers answers, but given the structure of the story it's like...okay now you're trying to make us care? Honestly they should not have had flashback hell throughout the entire first cour. Then again, we have a convoluted mess of backstories that still don't make sense and 11 episodes to sort it out. I don't know....I feel like I could care enough to watch this through to the end but honestly, it's sad how this project is turning out. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Ah I thought this was a good episode. Finally saw Marlya's parents and how they died. So Ray dawn's brother helped raise Marlya. We learned more so exactly where the "cursed child" stigma came from too. F Ray Dawn tho, what's sad is their probably will be no real justice for those people they slaughtered.. The CGI and animation was kinda bad this episode. A little more than usual I think. I don't like the new op song as much as Knock on the Core but oh well. |

| Way more promising than Part 1. This should've been the first episode of the series. |
| It could have been the last episode of first season. At least we finally received a lot of background/backstory informations, it clearly explained Marlya's reactions in presence of Ray Dawn. Actually, she kinda became her niece since she was raised by Jurgen Dawn. I hope we will have more interactions between these 2 characters, or even these 3 characters with Ver. |
 |
| Well this was a great episode, we finally learnt about what actually happened in Marlya, Ver and Ray dawn's past and Marlya's parents were shown too. |

| A decent episode to start off the second season of Fairy Gone. =) This episode felt more of an expanded version of the 1st season's first episode in what we already know about the Suna people, Marlya being a cursed child and Veronica being a blessed child. But it was nice to see more of Ray's past as a kid and how he and his brother grew up in the Suna village. Sane goes for their father and how they did their best to fend off the massive beast fairy. Sadly, the fairy was able kill off Marlya's father at the same time she was born and her mother also passed away shortly afterwards. Poor girl... =( While the CGI is decent at best, the production values seem to be slightly better than the 1st season, although it's probably too early to conclude on that. I'm just hoping that P.A Works can keep this effort up for this second season again. The new OP from (K)now Name was good, but it doesn't match the intensity of the previous one, but the new ED from them is better than the previous season's ED, so I'm satisfied either way. =) |
| This look like a decent start for 2nd season |
| Well at least the OP and the ED sound pretty good. Story still feels like crap. |
 |
| Starting with a lengthy flashback was probably not a very good idea... I get that it's necessary but still, it was the first episode, something more dynamic and lively would have worked better. |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| An ok episode, it seems a weird start because it seems to me that all what was in this episode was already shown in the first season. |
 |
| So basically my conclussion about this first episode and the first season is that Marlya is fuckin stupid and egoist. not going to tell why here, is quite long. |
 |
| This was a very good episode. We got a lot of details on what happened during the first cour. IMHO, this second cour gonna (have to) be very different from the first one in terms of pacing and character development. I'm predicting less introduction and more resolution. They gonna accelerate the pacing and develop the plot towards a good ending, we already know too much of all the characters. I just hope they use the entire 12 episodes very accordingly and don't put something like a Recap in this. That would be a waste of time. |
| Gotta update this soon™ |
| a'ight well i trust from seeing the rating that all the people who hated this shit fucked off and didn't stick around for round 2 |
| That flashback of Marlya and Veronica would've been really useful sometime during the 1st cour. The actual episode itself was okay and a nice start to the 2nd cour. |
| Hm. Really lot sure if I should pick this up after how bad the first season was. Reception seems mixed lol Kinda unrelated but how do I fix the theme songs? They're credited to the wrong artists (kinda). They listed the vocalist of (K)NoW_NAME when it should be credited to just (K)NoW_NAME as a whole. The way its listed now is as if someone listed a Nirvana song as by 'Nirvana: Kurt Cobain" https://music.apple.com/jp/album/1481420144?app=itunes https://mora.jp/package/43000033/A77345/ Can see here it's just (K)NoW_NAME |
 |
| Fairy Gone was like the definition of a super average show. However, I really did enjoy this first episode. If other episodes are somewhat similar in quality, it should be a good season. I wasn't sure if I would watch season 2. At very least, they got me into wanting to watch episode 2. |
  |
| Great episode- finally have a lot of answers, and I finally care when Marlya calls herself cursed. That old Witch who labelled her as such deserved what she got in the end imo (as dark as that is). Now gimme some more backstory for Free- and I think that this anime can potentially end up as being something special. (I did really like the first season) |
Ericonator said: By definition, everything is retro since by the time you realize something has happened it's already in the past.  |
| I would have thought this type of episode would have been featured in the 1st half of the season, but it was alright. I find myself again drawn into the world that's been created and want to know more about it, but the delivery of the story line ended up being quite off putting for me. I hope it improves this half of the season. |
| Was there seriously any reason for any of Marlya's flashbacks last season, when this one literally showed the entire thing? Geez this flashback was a perfect execution but there was completely no point of the flashbacks in the 1st one if this one basically highlighted everything Well at least KnY has competition for most flashbacks inserted just because |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| What a great start of this second season. I was not very fond of the first season to be honest, but I am watching the sequel because of Marlya and Veronica. This episode focused on them a little and it was precious. Loved the ending and Veronica's rebellious attitude. |
 |
| I agree with Ray that both the fairies and Suna adults had to die. They were insane worshiping fairies and sacrificing children to them. Also Marla is not cursed but blessed. She is blessed with surviving. Unfortunately sometimes this means watching people close to you dying.when people close to you suffer misfortune and you are spared some see you are the cause no that you are blessed with survival |
| The pacing of this anime is really bad... This should be ep 5 - 7 of season 1, just to add some backstory to the characters and how everyone links together. |
 |
| For me it's clear that even Maryla should try to kill Ray. |
