Hametsu no Oukoku Episode 5 Discussion

One thing that really kills a show for me is when it just seems like all the characters are incredibly stupid. The humans are stupid. The witches are stupid. Adonis is stupid. Not a single person can seem to just make a smart decision. I can understand Adonis not wanting to help the witches to use Chloe, but to send the humans there and have them all killed? How are you any different than the humans you despise?

The humans are also really stupid. Raging a war against the witches and then getting angry when they retaliate and act like they are the villains? Ohhh poor you with your sister. you expect sympathy while you masacre a ton of witches who also have families they care about? Adonis isn't just at fault, you are as well for being a total idiot.

The witches are stupid. Sure, let's enslave humanity by taking advantage of one our own, and then training these enslaved humans on the moon. Cause that sure as hell will not backfire at some point, right? Sure, they already have technology, let's give them magic too and hope none of them betray you.

The smartest move here would have to bring back Chloe, kept the moon base a secret ... and honestly just live out your lives on the moon till you had enough witches. At some point humanity will let it's guard down because Adonis seemingly vanished and there are no more witches. Rulers would have died and switched out. And someday you all could just move back to earth and what could the human's possibly do? Since the witches now know about the technology they would no longer be blindsided, and they could likely even incorporate that very technology into their own society as well. Fight fire with fire if you need too. Probably could even make tech to work against their tech, and prevent them from canceling out your magic.

Anyway, I am dropping it. It's frustrating watching these morons kill each other.

it's not good, but it really is hilarious in it's own way. a strike team teleports into hostile territory and kills 1 of Many surprised enemies then just ... waits for a response. after they get wiped out, head witch claims victory to show many of her forces have been killed by team 2. only then does she think they might use their number advantage? guy does a "science based" magic slash that flies around a tree mowing down enemies (and no friendlies) and the witches say to group up behind -CUT In Half- rather than just... you know, crouching under the attack. the show tried so many "surprise" kills that it was just like "okay, any witch that's talking aside from the one on the cover will die next" and that's what Happened. someone say rally, die. someone says "I don't want to..." dies. worse, suddenly, the armed witch women start screaming like helpless teens when someone dies... like people haven't been dying from the start of the fight or like screaming is more useful than ACTUAL MAGIC. MC uses a huge sword to cut off an arm rather than cut someone on half. cybernonja dude uses super speed to punch MC and then 0 follow-up attacks. all the witches put on battle armor to do non-melee attacks and the armor isn't shown to effectively save even a Single one from any attack. the poison fang witch doesn't even poison people. she just cuts them in half. c'mon. you have to admit this show is hilarious.

Disapointed at the direction the story is taking. Why did he want the witches to die they could have help him reach his goal. Also they seemed so weak they just all died without resisting. Humans can use magic as well now? That was not simple science. Teleport, magic sword, and space suit way to much in advance for their time. He should've just revive chloe and go in an epic war witch vs human. So much potential wasted.

Was really optimistic about this anime after watching the first ep; Watched 3rd episode and I knew how disappointing it would be moving forward. It's just too edgy for me and there are lots of gore here just for the sake of having gore, and what's with this episode being filled with witches speaking then suddenly getting cut off getting killed, there was at least >5 instances this happened lmao it was really repetitive.

I decided to binge the manga last night just because I had to know how much worse it got. Surprisingly, it got a little better. But also confusing because apparently this anime is actually the sequel of a JP only manga (though what looks like a webcomic to me) called "The Kingdom of Caliburn". It was partially translated at one point but not by much. Whatever that's about. But the kingdom of ruin manga appears to be nowhere near finished and only just getting started story-wise.

So either we're getting an anime only ending or its just gonna hang at a really awkward spot because after this episode... there doesn't feel to be a good place to even pause

Why didnt he just revive Chloe and run away with her?
