I do think you're completely right about the small details not mattering though considering Ouka was thrown through a fountain but remained completely dry. The action was entertaining in the end to me considering I haven't read the source so that's a bonus I guess. Well do give the LN a try after the show ends, the adaptation really rushed volume 1 and the battles were much better. yeah imo, the LN is a lot better |
 |
| I don't find this episode rushed at all. In fact, this is much better than Rakudai and Asterisk (so far). |
| Am i supposed to take this seriously? The whole episode felt like a huge joke and cringy "who killed cock robin?" man who thought of this? |
 |
| @tetrix i agree on that and hey 35 Shoutai gets more interesting than hidan no aria aa also |
| The current game that i play: Azur Lane :3 |
| When I saw Kusanagi in that form in the OP, I thought he have that power right from the start. That would be much more badass.. That battle looks like a tutorial battle from some game I know.. Can't take.. That.. Battle... Seriously... Overall, action in this episode is pretty nice. What's the deal with Ouka's weapon though? Is it a relic eater too? |
 |
| the Op is meh the action is good the ost is ok but damn the pacing is fast wait who the fuck is cock robin lol the ED is better than the Op |

| Episode much better, even if you can not cry miracle. Narrative has that bit of action that makes it pleasant to use, but unfortunately, as in previous events are narrated too quickly. The overall quality is decent, the character design of Lapis, I do not really like and is similar to many already seen. Opening and ending catchy. |
 |
| "Who killed coco Robin?"... Wait, what?! ⊂•⊃_⊂•⊃ I didn't understand Ouka's flash back. And the episode was too rushed! |
| Such a damn good episode! |
| The protagonist gained relic eater and he is no longer powerless, a witch joined in next episode, will be this girl Nikaidou Mari she got arrested and she joined 35. |

| Oh great more stupid-ass mini-mech suited protagonists. |
 <--- Who Your Waifus Look Up To --->  |
| LMAO that Cock Robin chant though, anyawys this ep is better at least to the fact that I enjoyed it until the end from the way they used the CG, that chant, that Lapiz.......... |

Dragon_Slayer_X said: Well i tried to tell myself it will be okay.......they will somehow do it in 1 episode...........somehow..........it's Silver Link........rushing isn' always bad..........but this WAS seriously quite bad, it's like watching an amv or summary, rather than an adaptation. . If that's going to be your attitude from now on you can just drop it. The anime team has 9 volumes so of course things are going to get cut. You are not being fair it cannot acceot that. They hit all importants of volume without focusing pointless fluff that isn't relevant later. Furthermore most these just stern from you having read book. Most people I've seen on web including here enjoyed this fight and the episode regardless of what was cut. That means they a good job under their conditions. Dragon_Slayer_X said: MagnaMoon said: "Who killed coco Robin?"... Wait, what?! ⊂•⊃_⊂•⊃ I didn't understand Ouka's flash back. And the episode was too rushed! Well here is the short version: Maybe Silver Link will show it properly later but they did a terrible job at showing it this episode. You can infer Ouka was maniuplated into killing family herself thanks to Witch by information provided in the show. The text in scene implies that you just get the full details on it, but it's not necessary at this time to know everything because it comes back into the story later. |

| I honestly can't complain about the action this episode had, it was pretty good in my opinion. Pace of the episode felt pretty weird at the beginning. Still enjoyed this episode. |
  |
| Amazing Ending tho i felt like the happiest madafaka lol takero x ohtori shipping is on i was a bit confused with how shit escalated quickly but nonetheless great episode |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| This show has pretty damn decent animation, one of the better ones i'm watching this season, to look at anyway. The story is alright, and the pacing for the battle was pretty good. I think Ootori thawed her frosty demeanor a little too fast though. At least it felt that way. And i like the dynamic between the Inquisitors and the witches. I'm not entirely sure each side is all good, or all bad. We shall see. Ooo i love Lapis too. |
| Heh, Vlad's VA is the same one for Kotomine Kirei. And that einherjar's name was Arthur Pendragon. Anyways, Lapis is an interesting character. |
 |
| I mean, Ayato and Yotaro have already gotten their OP powers already, so Takeru feels left out in the battle harem protagonist power race lol |
| The story seems interesting and all, but why does it feel so rushed. I'm not talking about the first part or whatnot, I mean the development of Ootori from being aloof and unfriendly to giving Kusanagi a lap pillow. I just don't feel like Kusanagi really did much or put much effort in getting to that point, and it didn't make much sense to me. One talk by the grave, one battle later and suddenly they're all buddy-buddy. Seriously? Still, I like the show, so hopefully things will get more interesting next episode. |

| After hearing more complains from those who noticed the pacing is too fast, I can only recommend the source material be read while watching. If you drop it, don't assume the source material is also bad. That's pretty much what every LN read is going to tell you. As for me, I'd recommend the manga just for more details concerning the first 2 episodes if you don't mind overkill fanservice. It doesn't neglect the explanations and character development, but you'll notice some differences in the action scenes and less censorship. As for those who can't tell the pacing is too fast and believe it's perfectly fine the way it is, I can only assume you don't care about the details and just want to see what happens next. Nothing wrong with that, but your settling for less. If you want the best possible experience, read the source material. Spoken form someone who hasn't read it, but confident it does its own story justice. This adaptation obviously isn't going to live up to the source material, but it seems it'll cover the majority of whats been published. |

| Is it just me or... 2nd line after the OP... is that... Aya-nee (Taketatsu Ayana) ? |
| I was excited when Kusanagi got a power-up, but then I saw it was CGI armor. God dammit. On a positive note, I love Kusanagi & Ouka's voice. |

Getting to meat of the plot is what actually has allowed this show standout from the likes of Asterisk and Rakudai. Lastly just let enjoy the show on its' own merits. Yes it's rushed, but if it is still enjoyable then doesn't matter. |
| I killed Cock Robin, WTF IS THAT hahahahahha Besides that it was actually pretty good episode. Will watch more. Better than the other harem ecchis this season which I have all dropped. |

| Was the necromancer/alchemist meant to be a slight nod to Full Metal Alchemist? |
| Slice of Life Anime about the everyday life of a German Philosopher: Nietzschijou. |
| Was pretty excited to watch the OP because I want to see if there's a certain character there..... and yes! All in all, the episode was not that bad. It felt rushed, especially at the beginning, but the second part made up for it. That Witch Hunter form was good to see. I do wish they would explain his attacks a bit more, especially the "Soumatou". For Ouka's backstory.... all I can say is, more to come. |
| Am watching this and Cavalry, gotta say after episode 2 that this is definitely the better series so far. Didn't bother with Asterisk. |
| I didn't know I was watching new version of power rangers! |
| Disappointed by the fight after the transformation, it was so much better without the armor. Same thing with the Cock Robin part, very weird. The opening is too generic, fortunately the ending is very good :) |
ShuukaAAT said: meh, what gets me is the fact that they arent explaining anything like they did in the light novels, and they are skipping some character development scenes. Actually they explained all the relevant things you need to know to understand the story and kept focus Ouka's eventually turn around after Takeru proved he could be relied on. |

Yes it's rushed, but if it is still enjoyable then doesn't matter. It's true that enjoyment is all that matters; but as I mentioned, the non-readers are settling for less. If a non-reader can tell it was rushed, then I'm sure it's ruining the enjoyment. I watched the first episode with friends and we didn't have a clue what was going on. I was the only one out of 3 friends who decided to continue watching it. 1 out of 3! And only because I decided to read up on the missing material. Sure the plot can stand alone without any character development, but it is necessary to get to know the characters and see them develop properly. I'm not saying it needs to be 1:1. Even though Asterisk also cut out a few things, they either changed the timing of encounters or took them out all together. This show pretty much kept all of the encounters but cut them all short. It's not ideal to leave viewers hanging every 5 minutes. I'm sure Rakudai is better adapted as well. I believe what makes this show standout is the military-like setting and the occasionally out of control MC and heroine. It doesn't seem like much focus was put into the school setting besides the age of the characters. Jagd84 said: ... they explained all the relevant things you need to know to understand the story and kept focus Ouka's eventually turn around after Takeru proved he could be relied on. Relevance isn't all that's necessary. The transition from one relevant point to another is also necessary to avoid confusion. I can let it slide if things go more smoothly later. It'll be new territory for me since I've only read the manga. I'm hoping the fast pace and negligence isn't as noticeable. As for the focus on Ouka, the turn around was too quick. It's comparable to mood swings. Characters don't get that close that quickly. If they did, every romance would bear fruit in 2 episodes. I know that's not how close they got, but it may as well have been. |
