THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Hmm a bunch of info dump this episode at first but I thought the second half was more exciting. We got Dezel who makes his move while Sorey and the others discovers more truth of dragons.

Glad to see Rose still part of the crew and everyone working together as a team.
Proud of how Rose made her comeback. I'm pretty sure we'll be focusing more on Alisha's part soon.

A connection to Velvet was made, oooooooooooooo.

Rose and Sorey were great in this episode, she got over the fact that she couldn't do everything and is now a squire!

At least some kind of action. Thought it was rather strange that Sorey is just going back, well Alisha is in dire situation, but feels like he went to Roland and did nothing, mb cause Rose's story was so underwhelming.
I thought that Berseria glimpse gave the indication of less chance for the episode this season, don't really know why, i'm obv in for one cause it was the best one from 1st season.

Good episode.

Awesome, they finally decided to connect in Berseria though will it be more than just history remains to be seen.

Rose's become a square and the purification scene was so cool.
Going back to Ladylake already eh? Cool.

I still don't like the changes their doing but this episode was the most interesting so far (I think) since Rose regains her cheerful personality and becomes a squire.
Although it wasn't good enough for me.

The talk with the emperor of Rolance was useless, except for the Berseria part : but that was spoilers right ? I knew it for Magilou but I'm not sure about what they said about Artorius and Velvet (didn't finished the game yet), but something doesn't make sense...
They show Masedra for nothing and not Cardinal Forton? The source of Malevolence was just a death dragon?
They took too much time to focus on Alisha and Rose and now their rushing the most important and interesting parts.
I kinda liked when Sorey and Rose fought together with the seraphims but it was lacking something and they probably won't show it, I don't know why...

But then Alisha ruins everything and calls Sorey for his help... The Alisha in the game was more independent and dealt with political issues. The Alisha in the anime just runs away and calls for help. What a cliché princess... So now they're going back to Ladylake? Geez...

The change in Sheperd's setting omfg
Sorey is literally a kyubey ayy lmao,


RIP Medusa and the Fire Shrine village and Pope's stories

The CG scene when purifying the dragon's remains, just top tier ufo quality, literally the combined sum of every anime in this season

AND AND AND Alisha's back, can't wait to see her soon <3

Well in the game you can't purify a living dragon, or actually dragons of all sorts. Considering they changed the settings of the Sheperd now everything is possible I guess lmao.

IMO They were stuck between making two individual episodes of Berseria again, or connecting Zestiria and Berseria in a meaningful way I guess.
Not really sure I'm glad about them choosing the latter option but it was an interesting way of linking between Berseria and Zestiria.

I liked the connection to Berseria in this episode. The second half of the episode was pretty good, now they're heading back to Ladylake to help out Alisha. I think someone else pointed this out, but them going to Rolance seemed really pointless, it felt like nothing happened the whole time except for all that mostly underwhelming stuff with Rose.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Purifying aizen hype then 0_0 i was really confused since from what i know purifying a dragon is impossible but they just did it in this episode

ok, problems and retcon

1. I think i've never said how the whole "purifying" thing is so overdramatic and lame, it was like some reality show that i watched when i was a kid where there are a "ghost hunter" hunting invisible ghost in some "haunted" house. they look so stupid.

2. they retcon stuff like purifying dragon, I guess we will purify Eizen in this anime? well I hope so, but can't see it happening with this kind of super slow pacing. unless Eizen invaded ladylake out of sudden and we fight him next episode...

3. WHY THE HELL DID THEY SPOIL THE ENTIRE GAME OF BERSERIA? DO THEY NOT CARE ABOUT NON-JAPANESE (OR EVEN JAPANESE) WHO STILL HAVEN'T FINISHED BERSERIA YET? well i'm fine with it since I just completed it yesterday (thanks god for that), but HOLY FUCK... really??????

The ending was literally a c** on my face after 50 hours of gameplay, seriously the plot after meeting Heldraf was utter trash.
It seems to be the scripwriter gave up and thought that killing main characters gonna be boosting the overall qualities of the story.

Sorey promised to purify Eizen in the anime(can't remember he has done that in the game), this gonna end well, for Edna's sake please (ಥ﹏ಥ)

It seems they're going full original with this. Would like to see some Heldalf soon.

no it's never right to spoil entire ending of entirely different game (and it's the neweest game nonethelesst smh)
they completely screwed over some (japanese) fans who are not day 1 buyer and entirety of english playerbase

fuck this anime seriously, screwing zestiria is not enough apparently.

Spoilers are spoilers, but they really are like mid-game spoilers. The bigger ones will likely not be revealed... soon.

I mean, it wasn't even a big "spoiler" that Velvet was the first Lord of Calamity if you paid attention to the Berseria episodes --- from the "Dawn of Chaos" (episode name) to Seres's way of describing Velvet at the end of the first episode.

Ending spoilers? lolwut? where?
Spoilers? Yes, but somewhat far from the ending plot and how the ending would be, this is part of the jorney but not the goal.
And as sad it can sound, UFOtable (w/wo BN) made the anime for and specific audience (or country) and that's not ours or this side of the world, and the game has almost 6 months in Japan, so... kind of plenty of time to clear it.

Great to see Magilou and to listen "Velvet Crowe" from Sorey's mouth.

Kind of dumb question, I did the japanese version of ToZ, later I plan to play the west version with the -thank the God the put in it- japanese voices, not that I trust the translation xD
Can we call purification of a *dead* dragon? because the purification was not for the dragon itself? or am I wrong?
If Eizen can be saved, well, that would be nice.
Another thing is the flame Sorey uses, basically is the same of ****'s (better like this).
Many different things. But this episode at least made me think, plus since this season:
- 6 more episodes, I dont think will be enough, well, depends of the changes.
- Mmm is very possible we get an original ending, maybe with the two titles, or...
- (Almost imposible) After I finished Berseria made me want a third game! Time will tell.

Aaaaaaanyway, great episode... I would really love to have them use battle themes in combat scenes...

I don't know why a lot of you are mad about the spoilers for Berseria. You should have known that if they were going to connect the stories together that they had to spoil a good bit of the game. Should have been smart on your end to play the game first and finish the anime later or just don't complain.
