Just when I thought Lun Hu was finally defeated, he comes back up like his injury was nothing.

Another good episode. Kind of sad there are only 10 episodes left this season. Judging by the pacing this battle will take up the remainder of this season. The very end of the preview for next week's episode has me worried. :/

I wont say nothing. Although the cut is not deep enough to damage his organs, he will still be bleeding a lot and getting into system shock. If Shin can stand back up too, he can finish him off easily.

This battle is drawing to a close. There are still 10 episode left and probably at least 8 episodes will be post battle stuff. So, they will most likely be covering character development materials between this war and the next war. I guess they won't end this season on some epic war victory.

Can't help but feel this anime dropped off in the last 10 odd episodes, maybe a bit less. They've started dragging some parts out too much, while the animation has taken quite a dip. Not to mention certain big moments lacked impact, probably due to the dragging out of scenes. Still, not a bad episode, Meng Ao vs Lian Po should be next episode. Unless they drag it out that fight should be done by the time the episode is over but considering how they're dragging things out it probably won't. The war itself should probably be done in episode 31, while the next episode will probably be the aftermath.

Really? I feel that this anime's story has started to really pick up since Xin started fighting Lun Hu.

Although I agree that animation quality has dropped just a tad bit, for example, I noticed that they reverted back to using the silly looking 3D animation for most of the battle scenes.

Animation and pacing aside, this was a great episode. The animation for the fast swordplay was really good, and the rest was intense as well. The huge moment with Chu Shui and Lun Hu getting cut down was beautifully done. Another intense ending, of course it'll take a little more to take him down. That was definitely the beginning of the end for Lun Hu though I'm sure. One arm and a sliced chest against Xin's mere bad leg, Xin clearly has all the momentum as Lun Hu won't be able to defend against his two handed freak strength at this point.

As others have said, pacing has definitely dropped off... IMO, way too much. Flashing between faces to do nothing more than insert a half-minute of screaming (names or wordless) is absolutely pointless, and doing it more than once each episode is seriously grating on my nerves.

Other than that... Next ep preview was scary.

Is the pacing following the manga or is the studio purposely extending some scenes?

Outside of the 'obvious' times when both combatants could have lopped each others' heads off, this episode continued to rachet up the tension.

Everything was great, but it got so flipping typical in the end.

I was hoping Lun Hu would have opened his eyes when he stood up. That wouldve been too beastly. :) Hopefully my man Bi can help out Meng Ao in some way in the upcoming eps.

I love the kingdom very much, but from this scene I have a facepalm
at the end of the last episode, Lun Hu started fighting with Shin on horseback
Lun Hu wounded Shin in the leg.
and now carefully!
Shin JUMPED on Lun Hu and threw him off his horse.
they both fell
Lun Hu got to his feet, but Xin can't get up right away.
hmmm seems a good opportunity to kill Shin
but no
Lun Hu began to make a speech saying that you shouldn't think that you have more chances on ground, etc. and stupidly stands still
at the same time, part of the troops on both sides when both cries
OH NO SHIIN
OH NO GENERAL
and stupidly stared at them
like everything stopped
but then in the background people fighting as if NO WE DID NOT FORGET THAT THERE IS WAR
as a result, Xin STANDED up with the words like it's piece of cake (yeah, got up for 2 minutes)

I'm guessing Lun Hu will take a few steps and then fall and die. This dude has been alive too long whereas that bald dude was cut down lile nothing. And yeah where's those two lieutenants? At least the former bandit cause the other one locked himself in lol
