Who wears the pants? The publisher. Period. Even the writer doesn't have ultimate input.

People forget that animation companies are hired guns in Japan, nothing more, nothing less (Kyoto Animation being an exception since they generally produce their own works).

Scene by scene decisions can be blamed on the production company, and on this I think A-1 is doing an above average job (keeping in mind that they have to make it easy for anime-only viewers), but general decisions about level of violence, character design and the likes are the publishers.


Agree with you 100%.

Leilei is presented well in the anime, but her sensei is a dork. She's a combat mage. How could that guy have trained her?


Well, in defense of the guy. Not many 60+ year olds would take having to move out of their house and abandoning their prized possessions with stoic grace.

Japan sees being old as being akin to a second childhood. They have earned the right to act a bit like children, so that is what the sage is doing here. At least at the end he had the good grace to apologize for acting like one.

This episode got me curious, In that other world, how can the native people there kill the dragon? I mean, even the Japanese Military, who slaughtered over 100000 soldiers with only 10000 only managed to blow the dragon's hand with those weaponry.

Rori, while she has a sexy voice, her character design is unattractive.

...and Lelei, I want to see her using a sniper rifle :>
Her Teacher's tantrum is funny as heck

LOL this thread tho. To all of you complaining, are you really that upset about there not being enough violence? Are you 12? Blood and Gore don't make an anime. Though then again the users on MAL tend to try and make themselves look more mature by being all edgy. Like literally don't put on every episode thread of this show that there needs to be more violence & blood, I'm sure theres a reason why it was toned down. It's you people that make this website cancer

That aside, really good episode. The scene after the fight with the dragon was beauuuutiful


Seriously calling people who are complaining that the anime that was toned down to the point that it looks like a kid show kids trying to act ask nature you have got to be kidding even the people at ak scan are complaining about the censorship (not s much as here cause they already expected this).

The only thing that annoyed me in this episode is the unwelcomed joke when everyone comically reprimanded the RPG-wielding guy for suddenly stop to check his bazooka. The whole raiding on the dragon was supposed to be tense and suspenseful i even almost held my breath when they were about to blast him with rocket, but that particular hiccup totally kills the entire scene.

i didn't really say it with the intent of offending, but i must say that i tried to say it in a way that you would ask me what it was about, point is, i think that part really was needed and also adds to the realism(it's a big word i know, but most of the works of the manga's author role around militaristic stuff, so i guess he likes a tad of realism that lacks in most other military animes and mangas) the fact they shouted it, it's because he didn't do it sooner, if it was comical was just for a coincidence,and if it "doesn't fit" it's just a personal opinion.

I understand your point about the flow and tension of the scene.

It may help to know that it wasn't really a joke, he screwed up by waiting until that moment to check behind him. That was what everyone else complained about - they all knew better. In a way he did the same thing to them that the scene did to you. Everyone was all geared up for him to shoot, and then he stopped to look behind him (because of the backblast), disrupting THEIR mood.

I dont really understand all of this.

People want this anime to be exactly like manga, when they have completely different "requirements" so to say.

People want gore and such things and harp on the makers for censoring it. People, gore does not = realistic. Hell most of the gore i see in anime makes me laugh more than anything else in how its portrayed. You can have a serious story with people dying without guts spilling everywhere.

Makers did really good job giving us the feel of death and such things without that.



In my opinion what this maker did was a lot better than doing those scenes and then blackening the screen for a minute.

An anime doesnt have to be exactly like the manga. Creators will find something else to have an impact on their plot other than rape.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

They could just shown shadows of the basis ripping women clothes that's already a good indication and portrayal of scenario.

They could have just shown a glimpse or maybe shadows of the bandit ripping some clothes off two women then cut the scene that would be enough to give the audience an idea of what transpired and also induce some rage against the bandits.

Also it would have been good to actually shows them attacking that wagon.

"IT NEEDS TO KEEP THE RAPE AND GORE FOR IMPACT"

yeah, that too, impact doesn't matter, especially with gore considering you can still kill a guy without showing off(first rori's kill it's a perfect example)

but as we said so far, rape it's a complete different matter as it can't "be implie" properly, but at least for now it's not too much important, even though still is more than gore.

Compare overlord ep 3 to this and you pretty much have a taste of how this adaptation could have been. Now tell me again how without "brutality" you could retell that scene without losing that feeling of dread? At the very least Madhouse didn't tried to punch beside the bushes.

The PV for EP 4 is now available.

The star layout of the JDSF's base is not a symbol. It's a Vauban-style fortress. See Vauban's Neuf-Brisach fortifications. Why? Overlapping fields of fire. No blind spots. No cover for attackers.

You mean the star fortress design that design was employed even before world war one and there are still some fortress in Europe that still stands to this day.

People shouldnt compare anime like that. EVery anime is different, as is every manga. This anime doesnt need brutal scenes to be good or to have a story, it can go without that.

Sadly, it seems that this season is obsessed with censoring a bunch of shows. A shame.


I was going to drop this show, since the last two episodes were so dull, but this episode was pretty decent, and it helps that there a bunch of cute girls now. Rory is wonderful.

They actually date back to the end of the 15th century and the establishment of gunpower as the chief military weapon. I used to live near a 17th century version and that was built in colonial America.

so she's technically a super Legal Loli.

With that in mind, I don't see anything wrong with her wanting to "do things" to Itami

But I do get Jealous because of it... lol

lolis are by tecnicality legal, at least when the age limit was the same as the age at which they get menstruations for the first time.

so yeah, tecnically rory is the true and pure definition of loli.

So the elf girl wakes up in an unfamiliar place, in a type of vehicle she has never even heard of before, naked, and with unfamiliar people using unfamiliar weapons against a dragon. Somehow I don't think a calm "shoot for the eye" is a realistic reaction on her part.

Otherwise a pretty good episode though.
