Not terribly entertaining at all but I don't think it was absolutely horrible either. Although I knew Jil was going to be 'caught redhanded' the minute he ran into the king's room. Predictable.

As it was predicted before, this episode wasn't nearly as funny as the first one. Still, I enjoyed this episode :)
Yeah, Jil getting caught was very predictible, but I'm looking forward to see how he'll get out of that situation. Maybe by using his incredibly hard head xD

Yeah, the part where Jil getting caught was very predictable. Nevertheless, I loved this episode.

The first episode was better but of course it wasn't something that could be repeated....

The "serious" plot is quite entertaining too. Not bad for a fantasy .... i kinda feared an HackSign development.

The parody episode was original. Although I didn't find it particularly funny (tentacle scene aside), it was more worthwhile than this, I think.

This episode was OK. A little uninspired and predictable, but OK. I'm not dropping this yet, at least, I'll give it a few more episodes.

So at least now we know what direction this anime is headed in

besides that, this was good for an early episode... building up. As for the predictable aspect.. yeah... i could see Jil getting caught... but I was also expecting his theory about the assassination to be completely off. Anyway... Gillamesh probably isn't dead (i mean he's f***ing GILLAMESH... the king of heroes).

I think this show will pick up once the actually start climbing the tower

meh. way too formulaic for my tastes. I liked the first episode better...

I'm still pretty sure this is all an MMORPG, but they're acting so serious. Oh well, guess we'll see what next episode brings.

I'm glad the parody was over. Even though it was enjoyable, an entire season of it would have gotten old really quickly.

Anyway, as people have already mentioned, a bit formulatic in this episode, but hopefully we'll see some twist and original things later on in the series. Keep in mind, its only episode 2.

I have no idea how you can like a generic RPG styled anime moreso than the zany epic first episode. Either way it's keeping me interested, though it's a shame they dropped the comedy.

Hmm...I think I like this direction better for the show.

Still, it was only OK though. I wouldn't really consider it anything special at all. I'm still hoping this will pick up and start getting better though, since this is after all still only the 2nd episode.

The characters seem interesting enough, and this episode was fairly good compared to the first. It shows enough promise to keep me from dropping it, that's for sure.

*sigh*

I should have known...

After the fun, off-the-wall, and entertaining premiere episode, Druaga goes to the tired, boring, and predictable serious fantasy/rpg story route. *yawn*

Oh well, its free and legal subbed anime, I'll still watch it. But, man, I really want there to be more comedy in this...

this episode is not bad, better than the parodies in the previous episode. but, there's nothing particularly interesting to grab my attention in this installment. i hope there will be more action in the next episode.

I really didn't care about the fact of it being to predictable at the end but I really enjoyed this ep, the first ep was awesome, though I won't compared the two since ep 1 was just...awesome lol.

But, its to early to call it quits for this anime, I think I will wait a little more because this anime has really caught my interest.

It finally gets a bit interesting. It was pretty obvious that Jil would be caught instead though. It's reassuring to know that he found new people to accompany him instead of with his brother. I like his new companions more.

"You... are... seriously injured." Rofl I was sooo expecting an old childhood friend story and that the two of them would fall in love at first sight or something. It was such a perfect "kiss" scene imo. xD AND JIL IS SO FRIKKIN' CUTE.

Ahem. Anyway. Indeed episode wasn't as funny as the previous, but they're not comparable as this one wasn't "parodic". I still liked it, since this was more like the START of the anime and things will start to happen from now on.

It's only episode 2 though so I don't see why you should quit watching this now. :D

Nothing too exciting this ep, but is apparently Jil is a pretty capable fighter..I mean, broomstick?? I like his new partners, as well. I'd pick a harem over his brother's group lol

i was liking it right up until the end, it was just so predictable i almost stopped watching :(
still, i'm hoping that it'll get better and hopefully try out some original plot devices at some point. i really don't want to drop this since i want to support what gonzo is doing and they couldn't pay me to watch blassreiter (or whatever its called).

also loved the "your seriously injured" line and i can't help but remember that it was neeba he knocked out and left for dead in the last episode, sibling rivalry perhaps? ;)

Despite the lack of amazing parody (as expected) this episode wasn't all that bad. Still some comedy and it did keep me interested.

A little predictable as mentioned by many, though. XD

Bleh, Horie Yui became a mere side character.. all the funny from the first episode was gotten rid of.. what remains? A mediocre, generic MMO kind of GONZO anime that's bound to be bleh. Oh and the caster/priest woman was ok, I guess. But other than her..?

Not amused =/

They better pick up the slack asap, or I'll have to drop the last remaining Hocchan anime in my "currently watching" line-up.

I think he will get dismissed from any charges fairly early in episode 3 since the previews to it show him out of custody and the 3 of the go to look for more team mates.

Hmmm it's still an average anime but with some kind of unexpected things happening (the fake kiss scene etc...) and a nice cast of characters so I think I'll watch it some more episodes. And it's the only free/legal anime airing this spring that is actually watchable, Blassreiter being a big piece of crap, so it deserves to be seen at least 3 episodes ;)

Of course this was not better than ep 1, but if this is how the series is going to be, I am good. Liked it even if it was predictable.

Anyone else notice Neeba's group got there too late, so it is not Jil's fault.

Well if you guys are expecting comedy, you're wrong. It was never listed as comedy anime to begin with, that was just Jil's dream.

Episode was alright, Kaaya is kinda interesting.

This has the potential to become a quite good fantasy/adventure anime, and I hope it stays that way, since there hasn’t been anything like this in a while. The first episode makes me believe this might become quite original, so as long as the plot does not involve any MMORPGs, and it’s not too cheesy, I think I’ll enjoy it.

Jil seems like a very typical main character though, and I hope he doesn’t become too annoying. =/

Comedy is gone, boo. Instead, it looks like we'll have epic quantities of hackneyed and cliched fantasy plot. My first candidate to drop after 3rd or 4rth ep.

I could not agree any more! The first episode was not that funny to me. This episodes was funnier to me than the first one, especially the "I knew that you were......seriousl;y injured" and the whole blood spurting thing, lol! I will actually watch this series for now!

Hm. Predictable, but it was a decent way to spend half an hour. I'll most likely keep watching, considering it was entertaining enough. I'm just disappointed that it was so predictable, considering how tongue-in-cheek the first episode was. Though I did suspect there would be less comedy, I was hoping it wouldn't be such a standard, run of the mill, defeat-the-evil-demon-lord sort of show. I mean... that's what the first episode was making fun of! Ah, well. I'm also disappointed they aren't playing an RPG. Stupid OP giving me the wrong expectations of things! Oh well.
