| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This was pretty neat. They didn't waste time getting right into the battle after all the buildup. Haku's little adventure on the road was ..lol funny. Couldn't keep a straight face watching his cart thing tumble. I'm glad to see the other girls fight on the frontlines this episode. About time. Nice to see the big bird back too. This dude is pretty badass:  |
 |
| That blademaster guy was too badass and OP lol Gotta say that I wish that the battle was more gorey like it was in S1 but hey, what can you do in this age where toning things down is normal....Still I enjoyed the battles quite a bit but mainly due to the performances of our main girls because holy fuck thay can kick ass real good lol Not surprised to see that the lame General constantly messed up and tried to run away lol but thankfully the real big boys have arrived.....Looks like the OG Generals are gonna fuck shit up next episode so I can't wait |

| The animation quality in the action sequences is absolutely atrocious! |
| Nice stuff. Other than the cringe worthy Dekoponpon... Animation for the fights was nice but the art was pretty derpy :/ As expected the crew's full of BAs from Kopopo, Kuon, Atui the siblings and the twins to Haki Good job Rurutie. Saving the hostages made Yakutowaruto on their side. What an ally to have. Shinon was cute. |
 |
| So we finally get to see(more since we alrady did) on why Atui is the strongest character in the game. Animation was okay and nothing above average as expected of a huge fight and its nice that they focused more on tactics than anything else. They certainly will need all the budget they can get for what is coming. We also got to see more of Haku's tactical skills and also to see him get more and more involved with those people - would we care for Rurutie and Atui without the first half build up? Most likely not. But now we know those people well enough that we can understand why she would want to help those people and how hard this whole situation is on her. We can understand why Haku, even if unwilling, gave in and helped and we can see how much he already changed by involving himself with those people. Next episode will be a great shitstorm |
 |
| Well that was so decent action we got in this episode and by the looks of the previews it is only going to get better. ~Great episode!!! |
 |
| What a horrid piece of shit. This episode managed to do absolutely everything wrong. Literally everything. I'm actually amazed. Normally I would have to point out the faults but it was so bad I can safely say without any exaggeration that everything was just terrible. I wonder who wrote scrip for this episode. It would help avoiding everything that guy is involved with in the future. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| It was good to see how everyone had their own way of fighting, this really does feel like the tip of an iceberg as the war has hardly begun. When Shinonon called out to her dad, it captured the scene perfectly as to when the young cries and the parent would have an immediate reaction. Although it is fun to witness the strength that Yamato has and with more to come, it would be interesting to see how capable the enemy commanders are, as one-sided fights aren't all that entertaining, which goes to Dekopon and his masterful skills to end a battle quickly. |
 |
Atui and Ougi kicked ass, decent ep although a bit different than the game hopefully next ep we'll see the generals wreck sheit up.  |
| Aside from Dekoponpo being cringe inducing and is shown to us in all ways obnoxiously ( really don't understand what are they trying to achieve by this ), it was rather decent episode, knowing how awfully the prequel handled things. Not sure if I'm supposed to buy the way the girls took out an entire army or how Haku rendered those two guards unconscious with a simple swoop of a fan, but at this point I'm passed delving deep into things |
 |
| Decent episode. Man..if Karura or Touka are in the war,it would be great. |
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. |
| Decent episode, even if the fight mostly lacked much in the way of tension because of how poorly animated it was. Oh, and Dekonpopo's very existence was annoying again as well. On the bright side, the fighting became more interesting as it progressed and Yakutowaruto was a pretty cool character. Also, next episode looks like it could be very interesting from the preview. Here's hoping. |
| Nice episode, the battle was decent, I liked it. Things are definitely getting more interesting. Judging from the preview, next episode looks pretty good. Looking forward to it. |
  |
| Really awesome episode! Really enjoyed the way Haku and Rurutie sneaked up on the enemy to save that cool dude's daughter. (He's probably voiced by Takeya Iguchi.) Great episode 5/5 |
| not bad but felt kinda meh, maybe i was expecting too much from this war. |
 <--- Who Your Waifus Look Up To --->  |
| The battle isn't as intense as I was hoping it would be. Lol at Haku always having things against him. He saves the girl only to get abused by her XD 4/5 |
 |
PericlesD said: The highlight of episode for me was Atui being badass with that spear plus her soft voice, she reminds me Karura in the first uta because of that brutal strenght While she most likely is NOT at that level, she is easily one of strongest characters in the main party. |
|
| Haku once again putting in work with those two guards! |
| That was... okay I guess. This season still has a LONG way to go to make up for the first twelve episodes or to catch up to season one (which I doubt it will come close at all). |

Yes. No matter what Itsuwari does, it will NEVER be as rushed or fucked as second half of first season :^) |

| Man this show is getting so much better right now, loving all the action and development. |

| she has a cute voice but she's deadly with the spear |
 |
| I love this animu so much,haku is my spirit animal |
| Lead me out of the dark,bishounen space Jesus. |
| That Dekoponpo really is a cowardly moron. I enjoyed seeing how that hostage situation played out. Pretty sweet when the blade master reunited with his daughter. :) |
Why did he call Haku name when he is afraid? |
| Dekoponpo should be faced for treason at this point. He sent a bunch of men to death for his own interest. His place is in jail, not in war. Haku and Rurutie save the day, involuntarily. His plan was pretty good. I was wondering why he didn't use his two twins for fighting, but his mission wasn't to defeat enemies. I love the hand-to-hand fighting style of Kuon. She look like a goddamn ninja. Atui is pretty badass too. |

| Great episode i'm very entertained. The action scene was very good. And badass dakoponpo get caught. Look like Haku will change his postion. Also Haku team wp save the day! |

Fai said: Yes. No matter what Itsuwari does, it will NEVER be as rushed or fucked as second half of first season :^) It gave ample time for everything and in the end, it made sense if you were paying attention (it was actually fairly clever short of minor conveniences as is the case in every anime). It could've used an extra episode perhaps, but the first half of this season could've benefited by having a third of it cut (or even half) and added to the second half plot. I'll take slightly rushed over a nonexistent pace any day. |
| How much longer until Benawi appear? |

| yawn honestly i found the war is really boring part in this series. |
| Enemies were almost as incompetent as the fat general dude. Got completely steamrolled by like 4 people and the blade master guy? Yeah ridiculous plot armor as expected. Also portray the other side as completely evil and don't even say why they are invading or anything. Haku being a little bitch wanting to run away as usual and has to get other people to protect him and tell him what to do. Yeah looks like the Yamato team is going to be even more OP with this Blademaster guy joining them... doesn't seem like this war is going to last long. |

| Kuon going in bare handed is a bit strange to see. Actually the atmosphere when they all rushed in was strange too. |

I'll take slightly rushed over a nonexistent pace any day. If by "giving time to verything" you mean removing all interesting plotlines of other characters just so they can stuff Erurshit to scenes she does not belong in, sure. Karura's story arc got treated like a freaking sidestory. Yuzuha's story was completely removed. Hakuoro's flashback was cut to shit to the point that a lot of it became incomprehensible. LoneWolf said: Enemies were almost as incompetent as the fat general dude. Got completely steamrolled by like 4 people and the blade master guy? Yeah ridiculous plot armor as expected. You DO realize that those people happened to be incredibly strong? Blademaster is one of the strongest people in Yamato and Atui is his equal in strength. Kuon on other hand got raised by two strongest fighters in tuskuru, a wisest scholar in tuskuru, one of best ninjas in tuskuru and a damn good doctor. Also portray the other side as completely evil and don't even say why they are invading or anything. Except they did not do that. Instead they humanized them and already showed the reason why they fight in the after credits of last ep. Haku being a little bitch wanting to run away as usual and has to get other people to protect him and tell him what to do. You mean except for the fact that it was his plan that made the rescue possible? Wanting to run away from a huge battle is only sensible. |

| This episode was great! Especially seeing the twins in action and being useful to Haku. |
| The mysterious amnesiac "Haku" once again ends up with a team of superhumans. I guess Haku would be keenly aware that Kuon had lots of brawn whenever he got her irritated, though this Haku is pretty wimpy physically. This small company got grown into a battalion with a bunch of conscripts. The sword master guy was forced to fight because his daughter or whatever was being held hostage. Once the tides turned, a small company like that was easy pickings. Anyone talking about plot armour should pay more attention to what's happening. The only real plot armour is that none of them really got banged up at all anywhere along the way. Haku & Rurutie's rescue went a bit too smoothly, but oh well. It's not like this was a conflict of major importance, it was a divide and conquer style diversion. Learn about war before criticizing XD |

| Animation could've been better, but they might just be saving their budget for later use. Good episode though. |
 |
| Atui was such a badass |
 |
-Thistlek- said: Starting? There's been way more plot development in previous episodes. All that happened was some tactics, Dekoponpo predictably went full retard, they saved a kid with hardly a scratch and reclaimed some allies. Nothing between the lines... There's nothing wrong with that, action is cool too, but don't go confusing what story is.Good to finally see that its starting to find the story. Overall I was entertained by this episode and looking forward to episode 15. Did this episode fix all of the shows problems... No. |
