| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Mm, interesting development with Arslan, the Queen, etc this episode. Elam can be quite unpredictable at times although I think he was slightly surprised himself. I don't doubt his tracking abilities though. Glad to see Silvermask again this episode. I was hoping they might of expanded the fight a little between Elam/Silvermask but the action itself was pretty nice as well, especially coming from Elam. Nice episode. Glad to see the captured the violence of the encounter. |

| I still need to continue with this show after I saw episode 1 but I'm a but reluctant to do so until I know where this show is going. Do you mind spoiling me about how the queen and king are fairing in this episode? |
| Another solid episode,not as good as last week's but still okay. Gieve is slowly becoming my fav character this season. The action was nice aswell and I have hopes that we will get some really cool fights in the future. Silvermask delivering dat arrow to the back huh The potential is amazing in this show btw,if they execute it right we have something to rejoice about. |

| Amazing episode of an amazing show. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| This is getting really good! Friggin loving Gieve. He did one good one on Silver Mask there XD Seems like he has a trauma from flames? He's hoping for a good king so I'm sure he'll follow Arslan. Narsus's plan is quite good but I don't get why they left at the end? Weren't they waiting for Kharlan? Maybe they got the info that Ecbatana had fallen and changed plans? I was rooting for the slaves lol. Sucks that Sam had to die. He was one of the cool characters who I hoped to join Arslan later :/ Lots of brutal scenes in this series too. Love it :D |
 |
| It was a good episode. |
| I really like that they're not rushing the adaption and letting things develop as they do for the most part in the manga. My only beef is that the scenes in the tunnel were so dark that I couldn't really see a thing (it was probably the point, lol). reaper_unique said: I still need to continue with this show after I saw episode 1 but I'm a but reluctant to do so until I know where this show is going.

| Oh good, a war/battle series that has characters with some sort of brain. |
| Great episode; good quality build up, and at during the episode no point did I feel like the story was rushed. The characters aren't dim witted and have the ability to analyse the situation which is a great change from the norm. |
| Was it just me or was this episode like... very dark? As in lighting-wise on every single scene in the second half lol. Felt like I was watching the walking dead. |

| A show which makes me root for the ''enemies''. Gieve WRECKED these soldiers! :D |
| Soo the queen abandons the kingdom because she won't acknowledge the power of the slaves. Bah i can understand the rebelion and the hate towards Ectoban, though i doubt that the slaves would be treated differently at the other kingdom. Arslan and his men are making their move too, I look forward to the next episode. |
| This episode felt a bit slow-paced. Gieve in action was cool, though. And we got to see Farangis. |
 |
| King is dick...queen is a bitch...and Arslan is...well whiny little prince....for now :P Yep this episode was dark....i had to tune up brithness :P The story is interesting for now but my only concern is that it should be only 25ep long...and we are already on episode 6 and nothing much has happened...its nice that they are doing great adaptation and are taking theyr time...but we have only 19ep to go....i hope they plan to do another season.... PS:....so is Arslan the kid of the Queen Tahamenay or whats is her name? i dont rly think so.....but is here even child of the King???? Or maybe he is kid of queen but not kid of the King and couse that King hates him so Queen to keep her status just decided to ignore Arslan too... |

| Still long way to catch up manga. |

| RIP Ecbatana's generals....I was waiting for the enemy to start showing the heads of the fallen and boy was it brutal :( Gieve continues to show why he is a fucking beast...His intuition and just common sense in general is strong and holy shit this guy is a badass in terms of fighting....He actually rekt Silver Mask and then completely owned those soldiers like they were nothing xD I was wondering what would have happened with the queen but after seeing the ending of this episode I'm not entirely sure if she actually escaped or if the dark haired chick that I've been waiting for is her or not....Personally I hope they're different persons I guess now this is where the story will start moving even more and I can't wait to see what Arslan and friends do next.....Looks like the dark haired girl will have a lot of focus on herself so I can't wait to see it.....Overall great episode yet again this week |

Huh. So the masked man with burn marks is afraid of the fire.  |
 |
| Great episode! It didn't focus on Arslan and co much, but its important to show the full scale of the war, and the people involved. Gieve got to have some more awesome scenes, he's doing good at playing the role of the loveable rogue. The discussion about slavery at the beginning, and the idea that the people of Ecbatana brought their own destruction upon themselves by continuing to use such a cruel system was very well done, and was one of the highlights of the episode for me. The female member of the party is coming soon, but I hope she's not used for fanservice. |
| Amazing episode. The tension went through the roof. Was really sad about Sam's death. |
 |
| This continues to impress every week, definitely a strong contender for anime of the season! Pars has fallen. |
| Quite a dark episode, both figuratively and literally. Luckily it's a thunderstorm where I am so I don't mind. It was nice exploring with Gieve's character more and the fall of the capital as Arslan and party wait. |
 |
| So did the queen manage to escape? Don't really enjoy the fight in the tunnel. The tunnel is too dark for me to actually know what's going on but Gieve is badass. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Once again, another great episode. Definitely the best of the season for me |
| Damn shame for Sam. At least he had some sense. Get rekt Garshasph. |
 |
| Another amazing episode! Love the way they are depicting the war. Those heads being showed off like that was brutal! Gieve continues being badass. Wonder what happened with the queen. I'm guessing that she probably escaped. RIP Sãm. I was actually really liking his character :( |
 |
| the lighting in the sewers part was just shit tho. could barely see a thing on VA panel.. |
| Good episode. So what happened to the Queen? I'm pretty she wasn't the one riding on the horse at the end there. |
 |
| Sam was an understanding commander. I really like how everything has a price to it. A secret passage meant for escape but then allowed the enemy to release the slaves. The slaves being the foundation of the kingdom, the labour, yet they were the one to destroy the fine architectures and the history with it. And the violent slaughter of the rebellion led to much more hatred. It is just quite amazing how the strength of the kingdom is the only way to make them submit, once it is gone, betrayal and the overthrow of the dynasty begins. I wonder what role would the Queen play later. Hmm, the "what if" scenario on how the Queen announced the freedom and reward to the slaves, would that have changed anything at the big picture. Sigh, depending on their supplies on how long they can defend and wait it out, how strong is their reinforcement, when the main army was defeated out of wits, what makes Sam think that history won't just repeat itself. Garshasph in this sense was right, if they are going to fall, make them bleed, even if it is a little. Getting me interested in history again. |
 |
| Gieve is so badass! Loved how he owned those solders and aghast Silver Mask with that flame. Traumatic element detected. I was hoping for Sam to get away and perhaps join Arslan's crew. Too bad that he got overpowered. Didn't care much about Garshasph though. Well, Ecbatana seems to have fallen completely. Wonder which path the Queen took to escape. Hope she doesn't end up getting caught. Decent episode. Spotted one hot Archer girl in the PV so very much looking forward to next week. :3 |
 |
| Poor Sam :( And the Queen turned dark hair? Will she escort Arslan to become king also? |
<In the ghost town of our love there is a player piano trying to prove it can make music without being touched. My fingertips miss her so much.> |
| The only sane commander in the kingdom died ;_; Well I'm sure many more (including many innocents) will die now This episode was dark, had the brightness turned up completely and still had a hard time seeing stuff |
| The main reason why this episode was incredibly dark is because you're all watching shitty Funimation rip. Their lighting and quality is god-awful |
StevenHu said: Huh. So the masked man with burn marks is afraid of the fire. I thought about that and Zuko from Avatar. I question if Silver Mask has any genetic relation to the King, which is also why I thought more of Zuko than the Hound. |
| きみ は だれ だい？ ぼく は ラムボ！ ぼく は だれ だい？ きみ は ラムボ！ ラムボ なんでし！ |
| This is what happen when you have too many slaves... They got what they deserve. Gieve is strong and look so calm with fighting the silver mask guy. Now, into the restoration of MC kingdom. Time to read the manga. |
 |
| Gieve is my fav character so far. Suave motherfucking badass |
 |
| Pars got rekt |
Is she and the queen the same person? cause that's what I'm getting :( |
 |
| Hope the queen is okay! She's so fab lol. But anyway, good episode. Looks like Ecbatana is done for, and tbh It's not that upsetting cause in some ways they are just as worse as Lusitania. |
 |
| As expected, another really solid episode. I'm eager to see what'll happen once this arc is over. |
| The Queen didn't even ask about her son 0.o I wonder why she is so cold towards the Prince? |
Holmes15 said: The Queen didn't even ask about her son 0.o I wonder why she is so cold towards the Prince? Maybe his conception was a mistake - someone forced himself on her and she ended up pregnant, or she had sex with someone and accidentally got pregnant. And if she loved the King, it caused tension between them, especially if the deed was unspoken of but pretty obvious, and because of the whole blood royalty thing. Having a bastard son and all. |
| 眠れないのは君のせい |
| the slaves are slowly rising and shit the palace is burning this is just getting epic by the episode |

Exactly, it was hurting my eyes since the lighting on my computer doesn't go up too high. ;o |
