Elsaria questions her own morals in the state of this chaos. Man, this episode had all kind of emotions.

Köinzell took a stand and I like how he is being more aggressive. Altea deserves better this season. Felt bad for that town getting destroyed and caught in this crossfire.

So Köinzell has wings, interesting. And by giving his blood to Aht, see became his specie? For now I'll take her transformation with that reasoning.

So it seems there are many of the mass destruction weapons, probably each hero has at lest one.

I hope Köinzell manages to kill Barestar in next episode.

This Adaptation is an official waste of time
The Production looks like absolute dogshit in the scenes that actually matter and the Production shortcuts are beyond noticeable
The manga is just the superior experience

I had really high hopes for this anime and was willing to overlook the animation, editing quality, and dialogue because the story and some characters seemed genuinely interesting. However, I’m dropping it at this episode with a score of 4.

Point of advice: Pathetic characters stuck in indecision shouldn't take up so much screen space, and at the very least, those scenes should be balanced with great, detailed fight sequences.. Failing at both—on top of a train wreck of execution—was never going to end well.

There’s probably a list of pejoratives somewhere that could capture my thoughts on it.

As lost as the studio doing this is there are still moments of greatness. I wish they had the time to do the story right.
Still like this better than any of the isekais or teen romance this season.

@alpo42ab I dont think they are truly ˜lost˜, just they have to work with the minimal budget Satelight gave them to work with.


So far, is a decent Dark Fantasy (nothing AMAZING, a la Berserk or Bastard!!), def. way better than Narouslop seasonal adaptation with video game screens and bland NEET japanese protags getting 1-D girls cuz "hes nice".

@Hylianticipated I’ve seen this sentiment echoed across several sites, but I’m just not seeing it. Sure, it’s not ufotable, Bones or Madhouse back when it was in its golden age, but it’s far from the worst animation I’ve seen (that dubious honor would have to go to Ex-ARM).

It's clear they are working with limited budget. But episode 10 was great and season 2 will be amazing as they unlock a bigger budget.

@phantomfandom In manga Koinzel licked Aht wounds with his bloodied tongue to give her part of his fairy powers. Chapter 50 for those who want to check.

THOSE ELEPHANTS!!!!
VICIOUS NON-ANIMATED ELEPHANTS! RUN!!!

Oh god there is no animation anywhere... the "Batterygrave'" army is invading the town of Ygdhgrcnjaggadk and immediately unleash a bombardment and setting fire to the place.

The opening scene with Koinzell saving Aht by giving her his demonic blood... why was her FACE so ugly in that scene? But then the transformation she turned white hair like him and looks cuter now.
Ugh the army marching with these masks.. and none of them are animated.. this looks terrible!
It is very disappointing, because they're finally making it clear that the Seven Heroes are not what people think they are, and the generals doing the invasion are even questioning what they're doing. Elsaria and her companions are hesitating, wondering if they should turn their powers against the magistrate's army, when they see he's clearly attacking an innocent Free Town.
When Koinzell took on some of the soldiers it should have been cool but all I could do is laugh at the anime's incompetence. And I could not stop laughing at those non-moving elephants.
The lack of animation means that in the middle of the invasion a lot of people are just standing around, and the scenes lack dramatic tension.
The new Aht looks beautiful. She's nearly naked and with white hair and white eyelashes lovely

Koinzell turning the tide of the battle by just scaring the shit out of some of the knaves was actually kind of legit- in medieval warfare, battles often flipped just like that, and guys would run to save their lives. But of course this ain't no medieval war, there's a fucking airship because this show can't decide which era it wants to be in.

“We need no proof” lmao you kinda do if you’re planning to destroy an entire city on the basis of them betraying the empire and sheltering a criminal. “Seven heroes” my ass. I’m glad Barestar is doing this tbh so the whole empire can see he and the other “heroes” for who they are.

Koinzell giving Aht some of his powers is kinda giving twilight. It’s just a shame the animation is so horrible that you can’t even get hype about them fighting together because it looks so bad.

Koinzell imparting his powers to Aht, just as the Free City is being captured under Batterygrave Barestar's command from his nightmare, putting Elsaria and the Order on hold to avoid infighting against allies. With the uprising inevitable, there's only one clear plan, and that's to eliminate Barestar to stop the barbaric takeover.

For once, Altea's convincing of the civilians and the Vigilante Corps being able to turn the tide alongside Koinzell, and Elsaria being forced to take sides to stop Barestar's army, it certainly helps all the more with Aht's arrival to drive the army out. And as expected, a military flying fortress that Barestar has been hiding in the woodworks, it certainly saved the trouble of finding one of the Seven Heroes.

Strong reinforcements from Barestar's end, is nothing that Koinzell will have trouble dealing with, alongside Aht.

Uhhh guys am I the only one here who thinks this episode was FANTASTIC? Yes animation it wasn’t all that but story wise this shit was fucking great man, Barestar is now showcasing signs of schizophrenia to everyone now and it’s gonna backfire on the other heroes hopefully bc all of them are despicable as hell

It really sucks about the animation tho it be moving at times but not most times tho, at least thankfully the art is still there’s and the faces are detailed (im comparing this to TBATE bc that art is blandddddd and there’s no shading or design on them anime characters) so im happy we at least got some good shots, the elephants not moving ONCE had me laughing tho bc come on at least make them move once😭😭😭😭😭

Aht is definitely staying as one of the main cast now I thought she was gonna get written out but now she’s become exactly like the MC with her new transformation and tbh that begs the question…did Aht actually die? Bc if that’s the case then damn she’s lucky Koinzell gave her his blood bc I did not want my big titty girl to be gone, and on that topic she become smaller than Koinzell I think bc wasn’t she taller than bro? And lastly Aht’s entrance was COLDDDDDD man I got hyped seeing her pull up with dual swords ready to showcase her skills and im happy she’s still in her panties I can’t imagine her without them she’s like Aisha from Danmachi😩😩😩😩😩

Pretty awful directing, dialogue, and voice acting this episode. Not really bothered by all the still frame fight scenes lol.

Probably the worst episode of the series?
