Silver Mask and Daryun are just too OP, both seem to be a one man army.

I really hope Gieve gets with Farangis at least by the end. He's a hard worker lol

And it seems the supernatural has official crept to the forefront. I wonder how much of a big deal it will play in the future and what sort of explanation will be presented (unless I missed something already).

I like the Zot daughter. I can see her and Arslan hooking up and her really being a queen. That whole bit may have been a pretty clear foreshadow.

Alfreed seems pretty interesting. When it first cycled through the members of the Zot clan, I figured she would be important simply based on the fact that her eyes looked different from the rest of her clansmen, and her hair color was the more obvious give away.

I loved how Daryun went in beast mode the way he did. Almost seems like he activated his special or something. I have a sudden urge to see what his musou/special looks like in the Arslan game.

I don't particularly like the inclusion of magic to be completely honest. Hopefully it remains sparse to nonexistent throughout the remainder of the series.
Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast.

Yeah. I said it.

As magic has been established as existing, i find the fact that Narsus didn't deny having magic (he only said he didn't need for the rockslide) very interesting.

If you ignore that apparently everyone can deflect twenty arrows coming from all directions at once with nothing but a sword, Silvermask would be so dead by now if anyone with a brain (Narsus, thats you) would make a plan. To be fair, Arslan would probably also be dead if Silvermask actually had a brain..

They all have bows, but they wait forever to shoot, and never use small breaks in melee fights (like, Daryun engaging Silvermask) with a high chance of success, but only when they have the sole attention of their enemy.

It was cool to see another new character that might be a main, and this anime was worth seeing Daryun go all ape shit. Though I prefered this anime without the "magic".

Behold of my awesomeness~

With magic being casually introduced as a rare secondary disfavored by the action's largely realistic approach, this show is officially the animated Game of Thrones.

Xandes is dead that quick...? The action was excellent (as usual), but that's really disappointing... was really hoping he'd shape up to be Daryun's foil.

I love how the dynamic between Hermes and Arslan is being developed.

Daryun is so bad-ass!! But what I found myself worrying about the most is his horse. lol. I've been feeling bad about all the dead horses since the 1st episode of this anime. It's so sad that they're just being killed left and right so easily. Glad Daryun's horse wasn't hurt though (or at least I think it wasn't @_@).

Wow. Arslan has 5 servants and they used magic on him? Hell I can't even believe there's magic in this show. Sure the fights and battles are ridiculous but magic? Come on. I don't want this to turn into some fantasy bs.

Even if Zot clan didn't encounter Silver Mask, they probably still would've gotten annihilated, as "Zot" literally means "nonentity." Poor naming sense got them good. Lol.

Good thing Alfreed got away safely though. She was pretty gutsy to spit at Silver Mask, which was one of the best scenes of this episode. Seems like she took a liking to Narsus. :3

Guiscard may just become my favorite villain of the show. Loved how he repudiated Bodin and his army with underhanded tactics. To hell with Yaldabaoth! >.<

Despite using a heavy blade, Xandes pretty much got owned by Daryun in the second round. The guy actually turned out to be quite pathetic.
That sorcerer might had a convenient magic, but he could never hope to match Daryun's beastly speed. Damn, he was friggin' fast AF! Although, this sort of supernatural abilities might be troublesome to deal with later on.

Decent episode. Gieve trying to entice Farangis and failing once again was hilarious as usual.

It would have been better if Daryun had thrown his spear instead of dashing towards that guy.

Hermes splitting people in half again.

Thought Hermes would have made Alfreed his woman. lol

Farangis oppai just want to pop out.

Holy shit at Daryun running to save Arslan. WTF!

This show is just wait too predictable. The second they showed a single female among the clan; you knew she was going to be the only one to survive.

Kharlans son fell off a cliff, so he's probably still alive.

Was rather disappointed with how they handled the manoeuvring in the capital too. What was it? A 2 minute segment.

Just don't fuck with Daryun. He's a beast.

I'm liking Alfreed so far. She's interested in Narsus. Elam reaction to this will be fun to watch.

very hard to enjoy. I thought there will be some interesting fight and strategy, but team members are to OP, the enemy side, that conquered 2 kingdoms suddenly become stupid and weak.
And now, there is magic to make some "tension/difficulty", because the author made the Arslan"s team to strong.
beware of crappy engrish

Alright previously they mentioned they prayed for the fog and talking to the jin or something of the sort. Which is usually just prayer and rituals and what's not. But there is ACTUAL magic. Boi literally does shadow magic.

Also I mentioned daryun being a dynasty warriors character before but he for sure is. Did he just kill someone with the back end of his spear and charging through guys like he's lu bu lol

Split up from the rest, Narsus sets a trap for Silver Mask's soldiers who encounter the Zot clan, making demands to enter their territory, all but 16 year old Alfarid barely survive.
What Slver Mask can offer to Daryun or Narsus in exchange for loyalty is the slight possibility of not executing either of them when they outlive their usefulness to him, Arslan isn't like that.
For a change, Arslan has Daryun's back and not the other way around.
The first crack between the state and the church in the Lusitanian empire forms; the Emperor's brother Guiscard claims Knight's Templar Commander Hildigo was sleeping with a heathen woman (excuse for getting rid of a political opponent or valuing the faith of Yaldabaoth over its followers?) but the Archpriest Bodin is furious and does not believe the accusations. The Church flag is even lowered.
