| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- OP second me watch and is most EPIC OP I seen. Few OP can make my heart beat. This one does. All is perfect. What I liked: Hiro-san! Good that he did resist Kuro hakushaku and was so LOL how he grind his teeth, what loser he is. Oro and Guin/Remus meeting in prison halls. Suni/Rinda meeting (loved all of it and especially how Rinda saves Suni from big rat hurting her. Suni's people attacking the place where she is trapped (good and well done, I LOL how stupid and weak against monkeys Mongols are). Guin receiving sword that is in OP...nice sword! GUIN and all (his voice, appearance and expressions. All perfect and make me always interested in how he acts. Guin killing bodyguard of Kuro hakushaku with one hit palm! O_O WOW! That was epic by itself with the music. Guin killing the Kuro hakushaku epic also. Rinda and Remus getting back their royal daggers. The escape at the end. What I did not like Suni and Rinda are so cute here. Suni is kawaii! I like her design.  Very EPIC part!  Does Guin have vibrating palm where he just touches and all inside breaks? Me still find hard to believe with one hand this person dead. Good riddance is all I have to say to this. |

| Linda smashing a rat with a rock... LOL Heart-exploding palm of death ---> Guin's secret technique Ok, I admit they exaggerated thing a bit too much, but this is definitely going to get better (once we see the many army battles between the people/beasts of Nospherus lead by Guin and the Mongaul Colonization Army lead by Princess Amnelis --> the famous Battles of Nospherus) |

Me want to see other battles he use that. It look like good sneaky attack....if you see guy face you know what me mean about it. |
| I am sure this anime will have epic battle, but still WHERE IS THE BLOOD?! I want blood! :P |
| Decent episode. So how did this guy died? |

| I agree on a lot of the exaggeration. Also the music playing during Otto's death (I was surprised) was kind of on the bad/misplaced side. Regardless, I liked the episode, but I'm not too fond of Sumi, or whaterver that thing's name is. |

| No...she's a monkey girl. That's not cute. It feels like she's there solely as a mascot, and to brighten things up a bit. But maybe she'll be useful. In after wakka's comment. I guess we'll see then. |

They did act smart in the fight, me noticed. |
| And thus the party is formed. Feels pretty old school though, I can see how the original novel was written 30 years ago, we don't really have these kinds of heroic fantasy novels with charismatic heroes and super techniques fighting versus a classical bestiary and some powerful nemesis. It's not necessarily a bad thing either, we just have to adapt to the time the novel was written and the style of the anime ;p The animation is going down and down though. |

| the first boss was so easy, no match on guin. no thrill |
| PM me and let's be friends. |
| Yeah that "boss" with the silver hair was so anti-climatic |
 |
| I'm liking this show a lot. Sure the heart stopping palm strike to the chest was rather anti-climatic and the monkey girl, Suni, is rather weird but the rest was good. I like these old school fantasy series. The only part of this show I don't really like much is how annoying Remus is. |
 |
| i hate the weird monkey girl, and wtf was with that fight who looked like he was strong but got owned with a single punch? |
| guin can kick serious ass when he wants to, even facing off against a spirit he pwns it. and now we have a semi major battle with those monkey like people attacking the fortress, i wonder when we'll get to see an even bigger battle? |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Mystic Palm of Death was... weird, to say the least. I also don't like the monkey girl, so I hope she actually plays an important role. |
| Nice episode. I was disapointed that that bandit didn't get to fight Guin. He looked pretty strong. Count blablabla was kinda lame and Guin stole that idea of making his sword into a flaming sword from me. lol @ Remus for doing something whithout being stupid. Also Guin's jump from that tower was wat 300 meters? You cant survive that even if you land in the water. Well it depends on the depth but still there's no way! |
| "Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise" |
| Some of the stuff is iffy. But it's still pretty good. I can't help but feel that the show will be really epic (those backgrounds are so awesome). |
Confucius say man who stand on toilet is high on pot. |
| I have to say this is the first episode of the series that i actualy liked. Also Guin's jump from that tower was wat 300 meters? You cant survive that even if you land in the water. Well it depends on the depth but still there's no way! Thats so in order to give you a more epic feeling and ... |

| it was too cool the way he defeated that guy. it was too quick i was like WTF WAS THAT? well the boss wasn't much either but that's not what the story is about....it about guin. the real story is yet to play out. i bet this is the first of many bosses he will have to fight in his journey to find out who he is. |
| I'm liking this series quite a bit. Has a very epic feel to it. I was a bit skeptical of the whole leopard headed man thing at first and indeed it was the reason i didn't give it much attention for a while, but the show pulls it off without making it look stupid. The super punch to the chest of that assassin guy was pretty surprising. A little disappointing because the fight was shorter and less epic than i would have liked, but it was still good up until that point and it wasn't a terrible way to end it i suppose. The fight against the black count made up for it and kind of justified things since i suppose it would be kind of strange if the leader's bodyguard was harder to kill than the leader himself. |

As for the episode, well they already pulled off this kind of plot in just 3 episodes, so I really expected great thing to happened specially the one battle that Wakka was talking about. |

| Manliness was at a series time high today. Also was the category of "Killing things with Fire". |
 |
"THUNDERCATS HOOOO!" haha thats all I could think about when I saw this. Then 20 seconds later "I HAVE THE POWER" popped into my head. This series has actually gotten a lot better. The first episode was a major turn off for me but it's slowly picking up speed even though some things are really exaggerated and rushed. |
^)^ DeathfireD ^)^ Anime Alliance P2P Network *OPEN FOR NEW MEMBERS* |
| For me this series started out pretty average, but now after the 3rd episode im slowly getting hooked. After the obvious FMA2, i think this will be my 2nd top anime for this spring. |
 |
| so how did the crimson mercenary manage to sneak a sword, a whip, and a couple knives into his jail cel. w t f |
| They should add Comedy to its genre. Mystic Palm Technique anyone? |
 |
| So far there is something very unsatisfying with Guin Saga. All this stuff is happening but i don't really care what. Not that engaging. But since the first ep i thought it had potential. I just hope it turns out as something worth watching. |
| ok episode. I didn't like the new monkey girl, and fight against the antagonist wasn't very thrilling... Well, at least main character is partly a cat ^_- |
 |
| I'm really enjoying this series, it's definately something quite different which i like. It has some great animation and art, interesting characters, awesome fights (well that palm win was lame) but the rest of the fighting was cool. I don't like the monkey girl though, i saw her in the op/ed and i just knew she would annoy me and she did. :/ oh well atleast there's Guin, Rinda, and Istvan who are cool. Can't wait to see more of this anime, most likely will be one of the best this season. |
| Officially dropped. I'm too annoyed by irrational character behaviour and new characters. I'm getting too old for this -mighty hero rescuing 'somewhat' important kids- kind of shows. |

The plot is far from a might hero rescuing important kids actually. There's more to Guin's story than that. We still don't know anything about his background and why he ended up with a leopard's head. I like the pacing. The characters are very interesting so far. |

This 3 episodes revolving around Parros twins terribly bored me. |

This 3 episodes revolving around Parros twins terribly bored me. Such developments always leave room for speculations. I'm guessing, the reason the guards were treating them that way is because they were ordered not to hurt them by their lord. The black lord obviously needed the twin in order for them to use the daggers. But after he saw what Guin was capable of, he decided to let him live. Don't forget that the black lord wasn't real. |

| Title says 'GUIN saga' but whatever. Enjoy the show if you like - it's not bad, just doesn't suit my taste. |
| The background music turns me on especially during the fight scenes. I find the comic animal relief sidekick too annoying for me. I am also surprised that "leopard" man is too overpowered as long as you give him a sword to swing. I wonder if the mercenary guy will join them? I did see him on the bottom of cliff. So, I'm assuming that they are going to join forces for now. |

I am also surprised that "leopard" man is too overpowered as long as you give him a sword to swing. This is just the third episode. Main characters are usually strong in first episodes of an anime and things get challenging later on. |

| What about Guin's technique was awesome? His fight against the bodyguard is just starting, then suddenly he has his hand on the guys chest and the guy falls back into the random pool of water that he mysteriously rose out of, without any kind of exposition as to what just happened. WTF? And what was with the random strip of material that started winding itself around Guin's blade in the final fight? It just kind of floated through the sky and wrapped around the blade This series seems very average to me so far. I mainly started watching it because Nobuo Uematsu was composing the music, but the music is as boring as the character archetypes that make up the series. This series reminds me of the Conan the Barbarian cartoons when I was younger. Not in the nostalgic way, more in the 'I wish I didn't waste mychildhood saturday mornings watching such crappy cartoons' kind of a way. This is getting a good ol' fashioned DROP. |
