| This show has tons of great idea's but the sad thing is that it never uses these idea's to there full potential. It's all too rushed. If they decided to make this a 26 episode series instead of a 12 episode series then they could have weaved this out so it would play out better. Help give some development that would make the plot choices seem more logical. I still like it but it could have been much more than this. I am just disappointing in that. On another note I really want to read the novel. |

| all i gotta say is this series surprised me. started with low expectations but have been satisfied for the most part. |

scol said: all i gotta say is this series surprised me. started with low expectations but have been satisfied for the most part. I second that. I never actually intended to watch it but it has been an enjoyable anime so far, no the best but decent enough to keep me entertained, except for ep 7. |
| Most of the episode I didn't really know what was going on, the pace was just too fast. I probably just saw 2/3 of it and skipped until the end. As some people said, Brave is just... annoying. And what happened with Junko's sister? It seemed she had other personality. I want to see how Eiko ends up, she's definitely part of the "bad" gang, after killing that guy at the start of the episode. She has no remorse. And to think that I originally rated this series with an 8, later on lowered to 7 and with this episode I'll drop it to 6. |

| "they use that system to justify waging war and killing other humans." Well, that was the smartest line in this series so far. Other than that, I was bored. |
| Shit just got real?!?!?!? HELL YEAH! Damn i hate cliffhanger :V I had 0 expectations from this but aside from ep7 which was epic fail the rest was quite good. Second season please :3 |
 |
| There was way too much going on in this episode. It comes at you way to fast. Plus I hate the fact that the annoying kid that became Brave is wanting to defeat his own friend. Plus he does not even know what he is fighting for. He is justifying his personal actions by saying he is doing it for the protection of the people. |

| Indeed a very fast paced episode but I understood what happened completely...Brave doesn't fit in with the magic wielders as usual and I loved the fight scenes after Peterhausen came in. 5/5 Oh btw...was it just me or at the end when Peterhausen and Akuto got hit by that plane, it looked silly...kind of like flies on a windshield... |
     |
| Rushed episode...so much plot being crammed still great to see red eyed Akuto, Damn I can't stand Brave, so annoying I can't even think of a reason why he is fighting against Akuto. 2 episodes to go hope they will make a 2nd season. |

Murbella said: Enjoyed, but brave is still annoying as ever. He is just an annoying kid who apparently found the power to easily defeat akuto reliably. Just when i think things are getting good and power range brave is having troubles because his personal abilities don't match his weapon's powers, he powers up and it is no problem again. As far as routes go, almost every similar anime goes for a harem ending and i dont think ichiban will be any different. It was a pretty logical choice he made in picking to save the life of keena over comforting junko. It was also a pretty logical choice in choosing to protect keena from being that guy's slave. Yuuko seems completely possessed by the demon blood. I'd say there is a high chance Akuto will cure that for her just like he de-demonized the dog a while back. Brave reminds me of SUZAKU and him getting in the way of the main character! |
 |
| Plot is too fast-paced, Brave sucks ass, Eiko is a bitch for killing her father just like that, Junk-o still doesn't know whose side she's on, the dragon is awesome, ninja clans are needless. Other than that, I'd like to see just HOW is Akuto going to kill God when he claims God is only a system. |
| Akuto and Peterhausen seem to be in quite some trouble, but they will pull through, I think! Note that this is a prediction and is not to be held liable for any sort of plot derailment. Brave seems to have some doubts about Akuto's actions; this is good, as it usually makes characters more likable, but he does not know what exactly he himself is fighting for, which leads us to criticize both his indecisiveness and his power-up suit. (The "protecting the public" reasoning somehow reminded me of a lamer Batman...) With the pace this series keeps up (it seems to be the exact opposite of most other series), the next episode will probably wrap up this mess somehow and possibly resolve Akuto's love woes. Then again, titles are not always accurate. Now I'm starting to wonder what the specials will focus on: slice of life spiel? |

muramusaw8 said: Now I'm starting to wonder what the specials will focus on: slice of life spiel? Nah, excessive fanservice for the unwashed masses lol. |
| Brave strikes again!? Also, I wouldn't really considered it rushed, but I'm not even close to annoyed (except EP 7) |
     |
| so much things happened that made me say, wtf, did i miss last week's episode or something. |
    |
| Awesome episode, except for brave, he's just to much of a white knight fagot |
 |
| LOL at all the Brave hate. Hey, it's well deserved. I'm not a big fan of Junko's sister either. Vapid is a good word to describe her. Maybe a harem end is in store for Akuto. Any end is fine so long as the conspirators/manipulators and associated fools are crushed in the end. |
 |
| I don't even know what's going on. They're all attacking the demon lord for some reason. For what reason? Because he's the demon lord? Because he's on Peterhausen? Why is he even on Peterhausen? As his "weapon" against the blonde guy... But the blonde guy's righting the headmaster right now. What's going on? Why are there monsters everywhere? Because Purple hair summoned them. But they don't need them around anymore. Just put away Peterhausen, put away the monsters, get everybody to explain to the ninjas that the blonde guy is evil and be done with it. Or something. I still have no idea why everyone is fighting other than "omg he's the demon lord, we must fight him. oh noes he's fighting back, he must be evil since we are inherently on the good side." Why doesn't the shota recognize his Aniki only has good intentions. I thought he looked up to him when he was saved by him. I don't get it. |
| I swear to god, Brave is going to drop my rating of this show. Why can't he freaking die? I mean seriously, demon lord killing mode?!?!?! He's the weakest, most pathetic, childish, unlikeable wimp that I've ever had the displeasure to watch in an anime and yet he can magically fight on par with Akuto with the help of his god-mode power ranger suit. He needs to go burn in the fiery pits of hell and then train for eternity and a day without a vacation to even have a tenth of the strength that any character in this anime has in his/her pinky finger. /rage off... |

zeroexia said:  Wow, that's just classic flawed reasoning. "So in the end after destroying all order, the only way to achieve the world he wants is to rule over everybody and make it so. Good job, Akuto. For all your gar-ness, you end up becoming a dictator and we know how that goes." Lol with you talking about Antichrist and whatnot and hinting Hitler. You do know Hitler was religious and he used that same incredibly flawed "system" to convince the Catholics it was ok to kill to the Jews. That's how he was backed up. So about the show giving the message of using religion and a way to justify their bullshit; it is accurate. I can give a BILLION different examples in our present time on how it is abused and that includes priests torturing children for thinking they are witches and I ain't even gonna mention molesting little boys. Lulz, I just did. However, we are not discussing religion but keeping it in the small frame of your comment so I shall not give you detailed examples backed up with tons of evidence. One more thing. Government =/= a religious system to maintain order. They are both totally different things. |
saxophone15 said: Indeed so.Wow...that's a lot of plot going on. It kept this episode exciting though. It's a tad confusing with this much plot happening in a short amount of time. Also any time spent on 'brave' is time wasted >.> Anti DL mode my ass |

Government =/= a religious system to maintain order. They are both totally different things. good job. you just proved my point. and besides i was not saying hitler, i meant every dictator that came to power after a revolution, not hitler. and where did you even get anti-christ? hitler was not religious, he did not convince the catholic church to back him up, he forced them to. he actually replaced the german churchs with his own teachings and replaced the bibles with his own book. he suppressed all other religions except for the religion he created glorifying the nazi state. and i know that it's correct about using religion to justify their wrong-doings, but that's not the point. the point is the retarded way that Akuto is trying to fix it. and besides in the context of the story, do we see the wrongdoings except for trying to stop Akuto who is supposed to be a demon lord and actually does become a demon lord, and those who are obviously bad guys who actually want to take the place of the demon lord? Government = religious system when there is a theocracy, you're thinking about governments with separation between church and state or where there the country is atheist and all religions and political beliefs except the state's is oppressed. And what do you know? The Empire in this story is a theocracy! If you're going to say something, please learn more before replying. No better yet, you shouldn't even show the evident bias against Catholicism in any counter-argument. It just shows your inherent view against religion and provides sources of exploitation from which others can destroy your argument. And just so you know, I'm not even Catholic, actually I despise the Catholic Church in general. Do I hate the people who are Catholic? Not at all, but as you said the conduct of the Catholic Church is horrible. In general, the conduct of people in all religions can be seen as "bad". Of course the reality is that people are just bad in general. It's not religion that does that to people but people use religion to justify being bad. And so what do you do about the situation? What do you do about the wrong doing by the people using their religion or whatever they use to justify their actions? Do you go right to them and do the same thing they do by using force? Is that really the right thing? Well, that's what Akuto is doing. He condemns the system because people are killing and waging war and yet he does the exact same thing. He goes on a revolution basically and revolutions in general end in even more war. History has shown this time and time again. The only reason a happy ending could come out of his actions is because this is fiction. Regardless of whatever detailed examples backed with tons of evidence you may have, does that mean that religion is wrong? Instead it just shows the evil of humans and how they try to justify themselves. Does that mean we attack them to end their evil? No that's just evil in itself and creates more pain and destruction. And that's exactly why Akuto fails in his actions. It's not about whether or not the system is evil but what is the response? A violent response is not a great response. And to be honest I don't see a horrible system in the story that does horrible actions I can recall, of course I may not remember. But either way, evil or not, Akuto is doing the wrong action. I think perhaps you've missed the point. |
| Now that you explained yourself thoroughly, I agree with you, however I am not sure about Hitler being not religious. I mean, there are are a deal of questionable quotes and articles. Pardon my ignorance but I am not really sure about the, "he did not convince the catholic church to back him up, he forced them to" part. I shall do research on that later. About me mentioning "Anti-Christ", when I saw "anarchist" I mistook that for it. Yeah, I have been doing work the whole night so my eyes are killing me. But yeah, I agree with everything else. Oh and about "you shouldn't even show the evident bias against Catholicism in any counter-argument." No, I don't have a bias on that. I understand the good and bad of religion. However, the bad outweighs the good. Well, if you take into account the society and not the religion itself. |

| Yay let's try to bring out the deeper meaning of an anime that was made for purely entertainment purposes! Sometimes an anime is simply an anime, not a political/religious statement. |

| Thanks for the links, bro. The more you know. |
sexiji said: darkkiller0 said: I completely condemn the writers for making the stupid little kid (Brave, I belive, and such a stupid name) into a pathetic Megaman tool. I honestly hate that concept, "pathetic secondary character magically finds something that will make him super-awesome but still pathetic". Lame megaman clone is lame. I mean seriously, listen to the quote: "Enter anti-demon lord combat mode" WTF? Might as well make him into superman. A suit that gives a regular,boring, and annoying little brat amazing powers for which he has no talent and suddenly becomes talented. This is the only thing that irkes me about this series, otherwise I like it. I agree. I know it sounds silly concerning this series, but that Brave character really is ridiculous. Still, onward with the series! I wouldn't mind a second season, depending on how they finish things. Maybe they end on a cliffhanger? ^^ Lies! they would never leave us at a cliffhanger! =P xly15 said: ...Plus he does not even know what he is fighting for. il tell you what he's fighting for. to get into junko's sisters pants, thats what u2blah said: Yay let's try to bring out the deeper meaning of an anime that was made for purely entertainment purposes! Sometimes an anime is simply an anime, not a political/religious statement. and lies again! its the goverments that are trying to brainwash us all! but i cant say more, because they are probably watching me now zomg! ^_^ anywho, enough of my ramblin i want next ep dammit! |
| Now that was seriously way to fast paced. I think this series should have been 24 episodes not 12... Oh well. Peterhausen was win though. Now if only someone would slaughter Brave already... |
| Yuri-chan had a scary face at the end O.o |
 |
| Brave is such a lame character, even his code name sounds lame. Also that 2V character is such a cliche. |
| Kill that annoying Brave for my aunt's sake! Did anyone noticed his tail? so he is running by using electricity's power XD |
 |
| I'm kinda getting the situation and at the same time, not... So Sai is trying to defeat that blond dude Yamato because he wants to use Keena as a catalyst to subdue and control God and be the next Demon King? And with all the monsters around, everyone thinks Sai is taking over so they deploy the shinobis to defeat him. Then we have Brave(still lame and now with random powerups with no side effects) and Junko conflicted on who to help, Yuri who's starting be become a yandere, Keena with some dual personality, Fujiko as backup for Sai, Prez who disappeared after that speech, Master Buten headmaster, Eiko who has some shady business with 2V about who knows what and Sai planning to kill God for being just a system being used to wage war. Did I miss anything or got something wrong? Bah, who cares anyway, Peterhausen FTW!! |

| WOW what an episode!!! It seems alot of stuff talking out there ...(reading it takes alot time....so i just took a few glimpse) People are fighting each other,when all they desire is a world where fighting doesn't exist what do you think about this?? ^^ Well anyway, the system of the religion and government in this Anime are kinda outdated.So Akuto's action is not totally wrong.So don't compare too much to the modern system.The Anime for this series are based on even older system of governing. Nowadays the word god is " whatever...." but in this Anime is kinda opposite. It kinda remind me of "terra he....". summarize: people should make his own decision and be ready for his doing but not using the system(god) as a excuse for his fault.... Well I think its something like this ^^.....i think its a very common phrase |
MorningGloryJun 5, 2010 5:27 PM
| almost every time brave comes it annoys me!! he thinks that the demon lord doesn't understand him and everyone else...well it's the same for him as well. The public will be happy as long as the demon lord is destroyed grrrr... now i can't wait what will happen next... I want korone to come back |

| I hate Brave. He just uses a suit that has powers, even though he is weak and annoying. He doesn't even know what he's doing. He really does drag the whole anime down. Other than that, I like how things are heating up. But the lack of Korone was upsetting too. Oh well. Can't wait for the last two! |
| Yuck! What an incoherent mess. Rating is going down once I post this. |
| Shit just got realer! |
 |
| Brave is really getting to be annoying, especially when he keeps jumping to conclusions |
| The story of this anime could make over 100 episode nt just 12 and the story progressing is really fast but i like it :) |
| keep in mind that they don't give a damn about what americans think. they care if its a hit in japan. And second seasons are pretty rare. |
