THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
They got started on this pretty fast in the beginning. OP song is actually decent. Probably showed more characters than it should though.

Ugh, Titta is annoying as I had thought. And pfft, that attempted assassination was sad. OST is decent as well overall although Eleonora herself is a bit OP so far. Since they showed all of the Madans in the OP song, I assume all of them will make an appearance in this season at some point. Dang, this was rushed though. I hope they don't cram too much even if it's a 1 cour for this season.

Talk about a rush job. That's more than half of volume 1 already. Next episode can just about cover the rest of the volume. And here I was wondering how they can cram 5 volumes in a single cour. That's how they do it(not a compliment).

Ishikawa Kaito is okay for Tigre. I wish Tomato used her tomboyish voice instead of this energetic voice. And them closeups to her body parts. The camera sure knows its priority.
OP is awesome as expected of Konomi Suzuki. ED is okay. At least Harada Hitomi doesn't use Engrish like in the Blade Dance OP.
Though with Olga in both of the songs, I'm not too enthusiastic with this adaptation. Ah well, I lowered my expectation early on so I'm not that disappointed.

At least I finally know how to read/pronounce Zchted.
Better add the rest of the cast as well.

Yeah it's rushed(compare to LN), and very fast pace

But even i already read the LN, i think anime's plot is still pretty smooth, i can give 7-8/10 for first episode.

Decent if rushed start,

They missed half the naked well scene, Lim teaching Tigre and Elleonora and Tigre sneaking into the town.

Well I see a bunch of big titted women,this seems like shit,rushed and well like something I'll regret watching...so I'll give this 2 more episodes before dropping (it's not like I was paying much attention while watching this anyways).

If there's anything good that'll spawn from this,it'll be the doujins that'll be made of the female characters.

I don't know how to feel about this.
This was really rushed. But I had fun, I guess, gonna keep watching anyways... I hope they slow down the pace. The OP song was.. really good, I'm a sucker for that type of music, that's another reason to keep watching. The ED was OK.

Didn´t read that far but in my opinion in the manga everybody look like 12 year olds moe design. But oversized breast yes.

Yep and they even included as less Titta Screentime as they could and she still is a bother xD. Overall the episode was good, it was too rushed but that's normal with these kind of LNs. I stopped to be upset about the fast pacings and leaving out important stuff from the novels because this will not change in the near future.
So far they let out the town market, Lim's toy and the trainig scene with Ellen.
Animation is good, VA is good too and OP/ED are okay.
Hope Volume 1 won't be ended with the next episode because then it would be true that they will adapt 6 volumes -_-

Madan no Ou to Vanadis what have they done to you. Ok frist I will say this the anime is by no means a representation of light novel so don't compare the two, second I was expecting the story to be rushed but not to this level this it is truly amazing 5 out of 6 chapters of V1 of the LN in 1 eps it's truly impossible for anything to good with that type of pacing. Even the manga which is I thought was a bad adaptation was better than this and that added a ton fanservice and skiped alot of the plot. I recommend the light novels but this has all the hallmarks of a bad adaptation

After watching OP I was wondering, why they would show all of the Vanadis. After all, they are slowly revealed in later volumes. But considering they just crammed half volume into single episode, it's no wonder.

Episode was a bit rushed. Was hoping to get only first 3 volumes this season, but it seems they want to make whole Brune War Arc into 13 episodes, which is kinda shame.

But still, even considering omitting lots of important scenes (there's no relationship buildup between Tigre and any of Zhcted members: Elen, Lim, Rurick - which is important later on), episode was surprisingly smooth.
Still, falling behind LN a lot (and manga).

Oh, and I was really disappointed by "clips" (cause you can't call it anything else) of battles. In LN descriptions were amazing. I mean, limbs would fly, blood would spurt, yells would be heard. Here? It looked like goddamn training with wooden weapons.

Still, for first ep I'll give it benefit of the doubt and rate it 7/10. Gonna have something to watch, while waiting for translation of volume10 (

i guess i'm a little late to the party.

instead of complaining on how much they skipped. the episode was kinda decent.
the OP and ED are awesome.

Ah man they skipped the part where Ellen and Tigre go to the town. i was really hoping to see it.

So they seriously are covering 5 volumes with this adaption. i thought they would cover 3.

Hmm. Nice op. Looks quite promising, but at the same time rushed. Although not sure if it is correct since I haven't read novels. Maybe I should just go and do it.

This is why I don't want this adapted. So rushed and a lot of thing missing. This episode almost cover the whole volume 1. To think that they would cover around 75% of volume 1 in ep1 alone is saddening.

actually liked it.


liked the op, the ed, the ost in general

character designs are fine, overall story setting is interesting

fanservice was there but i didn't mind it.


don't know the novel but as others already confirmed the pacing is very fast.

sad to hear that this will probably be a very rushed adaptation instead of two cour or split cour atleast

Well some fan service once in a while is good more my testosterone I guess? ._.

Still, I could guessed its rushed even though I never read the novel. A bunch of names which a new viewer couldnt remember and have no idea what they meant, no explanation on what exactly is the relationship of the 2 nation, and a hostage being treated as well as the MC is being treated? Well bet there wont be any explanations anyway.

I'll read up the LN when I have time.
How do I signature?

Well, going into this with no knowledge of the LN, that actually caught me off guard.

Despite the harem, fanservice and load of female characters (to come), it was interesting and actually holds some substance to its plot. It did seem a bit rushed, and I was hoping we'd get to see some army fighting in the beginning, but I'm satisfied with the first episode. It left a good impression on me.

I like Ellen. She's nonchalant and and strong. And I'm betting this will be a series that I wished was longer. :>

Going into this with no knowledge of it whatsoever, I must say I quite liked this beginning. It does sorta feel rushed and weird that one who fought against another nation is "accepted" (I guess) so quickly. Nevertheless looking forward to seeing this unfold

Pretty decent episode to say the least, I was unfamiliar with this franchise before so didn't expect anything but it is still pretty good nonetheless, I think I can understand a little bit of what the anime trying to explain.. Aside from rushed, is it really that bad of an adaptation?
I cannot bring myself to rate anime that I have completed below 5. Well, it just because I have use up my precious time to watch it. so, the worse you will get from me is 5 (changes may apply)

Pretty okay episode. Like everyone said already they rushed through a lot. Coming from the LN it's a bit disappointing. The art style is amazing imo. Op & ed are alright. This was the standard introduction episode. Probably will start the action come next episode.

After this episode I probably won't stick around past ep 3. I don't want to be bitch and complain about how they are skipping things.

3/5.

They went through 75% of volume one in 1 eps and skipped a hell of alot and cheapen the plot so yes will probably drop after 2 more eps because I will not be able to enjoy this
