| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well that was interesting, seems like the Hellions in this series getting more and more tougher. And we got more info dump about malevolence. Good action as expected and I like how Lailah worked with Sorey to deliver some ass kicking in that dungeon. Their discovery wasn't pleasant..so perhaps some secrets are better left hidden. Crazy cliffhanger ;o I got some legit chills after this episode. |

| That was one big ass malevolent storm. I guess we're going to find out next week what exactly caused it. Lailah is still my favorite character  |
 |
| That cliffy. Cant wait for next week's episode. Also Lailah's skill! That was just amazing. lailah being all icanttellanysecrets in the skit was amusing |
| That was a good episode. It was nice to see Alisha finally being able to talk to the Seraphim, Poor Sorey though, He needs to cut off his senses. Lailah's pout kinda expression when she was giving instructions was so cute. <3 The way they entered the ruins with all that gold light shining through the door gave me this real adventurous and mysterious vibe. I love scenes like that. Quite some info on the malevolence, Seems Sorey can detect Malevolence with precision now that he's accepted the Shepard's power. Action is as flashy as ever, Pure eye candy and I love it. So Lailah's power is fire based and Mikleo is Water/Ice based, I'm a sucker for Fire anyway so Lailah's powers are easily my favorite XD Considering that twister like thing appeared again, Does that mean we'll be seeing that dragon again? I'm really excited for what's gonna happen next. Wonder when the other characters in the OP will join up. I love these ending segments, I fine them adorable for some reason. |

| That cliffhanger! Can't wait for the next episode. The amount of CGI used is starting to bother me a bit. Atleast the parts with the fully CGI city. Probably wouldn't bother me as much when binge watching the series but that's not really an option atm. Sorey looks baller with his new designer clothing. Also Lailah best girl for me. Preview skits are still gold. |

| Lailah is really pretty |
 |
| My memory about the game's start is a bit hazy but I can't recall such a huge storm of malevolence. Guess with this it's now set in stone that they'll go full original with this, hell yes! I can't help it but I always let out a childish "oooooh" when Ufotable displays its particle effects. Anyway, next week seems like it could become extremely action packed. This combined with the fact that the following is likely to be entirely original makes me officially hyped for the show :) EDIT: Oh right "that" is supposed to happen next week. Not I get the hints within the preview :)! |

| Did the storm appear out of nowhere or they could have noticed it from a distance ? another great episode |

Its just the journey that will be entirely different. |
| Spent the whole episode thinking to myself "where is your new sword" "why aren't you using your new sword" "why didn't the princess give you the sword when you woke up" seriously that battle would have gone alot smoother if he didn't have to use his regular weapon good ep tho |

I think he is talking about the sword that he pulled out from the pedestal. |

oh.. didn't it went into Sorey? |
| So sources say . That would explain why the story just completely changed from the game. |
 |
| ed Basically yeah. That sword is only in his armatus form |
|
| My boo velvet is appearing next ep?! HELL YEAH! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ |
 |
| the animation is so fuckin good |

| Wow, that was one of the most gorgeous and dull episodes i've ever seen. Seriously, the pacing of the story needs to get going much faster than this and they need to make exposition scenes better. Overall, nothing bad, but nothing good or interesting either. A standard info dump episode with great visuals and dull direction. 5/10. |
astroprogsJul 31, 2016 9:56 AM
It did. I don't entirely remember, but IIRC the sword just represents the power of purification and can take any shape the Shepherd wishes, in Sorey's case - Ritual Swords. It gets an explanation in the game. |

| Not really the most exciting episode but we learned some new information, and judging by the way the episode ended, it looks like next week should be pretty thrilling. Dafka said: The amount of CGI used is starting to bother me a bit. Atleast the parts with the fully CGI city. Well it could be worse. The CGI could look like the current Berserk's, so that's why I don't really mind it all that much. Ufotable's CGI looks pretty decent. astroprogs said: Wow, that was one of the most gorgeous and dull episodes i've ever seen.

A standard info dump episode with great visuals and dull direction. 5/10. I think the pacing is slow because it's split cour. The makers are probably deciding to take it slow since we're getting another season anyway. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Not as good as last week, but still great nonetheless. |
| We get to know what the mission of the Shepherd is. The malevolence causing yet another big storm, this will be good. |
thebrentinator24 said: I think the pacing is slow because it's split cour. The makers are probably deciding to take it slow since we're getting another season anyway. It probably is, and, four episodes in, i'm not sure why they decided on making this a split core. I haven't played the game and i'm unfamiliar with its story, but, so far, i can very easily see the events of these four episodes, leaving the prologue episode untouched, being made into just two without really missing anything substantial. Four episodes just to get to the exposition episode is too much IMO. |
| This episode was almost entirely anime only and i think thats a good thing, people are saying its slow and yes it is but this actually just cut a ton of filler from the game surrounding the game's lore as well as removing some really fucking stupid melodrama with miklleo and sorey. All in all this was significantly better than in the game and i am looking foreword to where this goes since this is again not following the game at the current moment, next week is likley the berseria stuff which i have mixed feelings about, i think alot of the game's 2nd half is going to be outright cut so im not worred about the slow pacing, frankly the 2nd half consisted mostly of the trials which wont work in anime form most likley which could lead to the anime writing its own plotline to flesh out the cast and especially the weak as hell villains. Jryou said: that sword only appears during armitization with lailah, mikleo's is with a bow that they didnt include in this episode but its in the opening, edna will have him using rock fists, with dezel he uses sharp wind i think. When not in armitization sorey is just a dude with a normal ass sword.Spent the whole episode thinking to myself "where is your new sword" "why aren't you using your new sword" "why didn't the princess give you the sword when you woke up" seriously that battle would have gone alot smoother if he didn't have to use his regular weapon good ep tho |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Sorry, but i have to break the Train and say that i like Alisha more then Lailah so far :p |
| If people thought this was slow, the game man in these parts LMFAO. Let's hope enough liberties are taken |
| That was really good and intense.I really like the CGI in the series. |
 |
| The episode previews in VN style are so great :DD |
| interesting concept. i got a bit suprised when i knew the fact that actually any seraphim can make a contract with him and gain more power from that. it's awsome imo. i really like that alot. Overall, it was an interesting episode. the fight scene didn't give much impact to me compared to the previous episode but it was beautifully well made xD DAT ending tho. is it the dragon again ? either way, i just can't wait to see the next episode. looking foward to it xD |
 |
| 3/5 for this episode. Pacing a bit too slow for my taste. Not that good probably because it is based on a game and games have less story and more gameplay. I am dropping this here with 6/10 (still better than Re:Zero :D ) cause I don't care that much about the visuals (which are nice) but prefer story. And with Endride, Arslan, Alderamin, Berserk I am already watching a lot of middleage/(dark) fantasy stuff this season. |
| I'm liking all the girls in this anime, so I can't say I like only one lol Anyways, another good episode. We got to know even more about the shepherd, his mission, and the malevolence that's plaguing the world . Next week hopefully another good episode. The previews are nice as always . |
 |
| I love this anime a lot because of the likeable characters I really Like Lailah and Alisha they also look so pretty haha Mikleo is also cool he is awesome as well and Sorey is okay though But I prefer the others character than him. The Plot Is okay though I admit the plot is kind slow but Its alright I hope they show who is villians next and what is thier motives besides that crazy guy with big grin I still don t who are the real villians here. Neverthless this episode is very good I like definetly because of the characters. |
Inori_is_love said: Lailah is really pretty I agree sometimes I can t stop looking at her lol lol haha |
| Good episode, but previous were better probably cause this one was not so action-packed, something like build-up. The animation for Lailah's spell looked very nice. |
 |
Kirigiri50 said: Inori_is_love said: Lailah is really pretty I agree sometimes I can t stop looking at her lol lol haha I was expecting some to complain about her voice given quite some people complained about the VA's (Noriko) Voice in Fate/stay night as Sakura . Oh well, i have no problems with her voice , it's actually nice. |
|
| Another solid episode, about what one would expect from Ufotable. Alisha is still one of my favorite princess-type characters in a long while and I like her design. |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |

I think her voice is pretty good Its make her sound younger than she looks though But It awesome I like her voice Why would people complain about her voice? |

He wont be using it regularly, just when he transforms. You saw the sword turn into dust and disapearing inside him at the end of episode 3, didn't you? xD Really? I'm still playing the game(for the second time) and I barely notice any diference in Lailah's voice. If it wasn't for the forums I would've never guessed they changed Lailah's VA xD |

| Malevolence! Malevolence! It has begun ^_^ It seems that bad luck Alisha brought a storm with her in the Capital :P This episode was mostly Anime original. Those ruins were certainly more dark. |

| I'm really interested to see how the next two episodes will help expand more on the lore and world we have come to experience in Zestiria. |
| Is this Tales of Infinite Budget? I like it! |
| Bothering me the subtitles and/or characters said episode 6 is the next episode while most list this as episode 4 because of the episode 0 mumbo jumbo. |
Kirigiri50 said: Inori_is_love said: Lailah is really pretty I agree sometimes I can t stop looking at her lol lol haha Same xD........Lailah best girl. |
| Omg the Lord of calamity. The storm is back omg. |
