| Well, that was much better than the last episode at least. Good stuff, will keep watching. Still incredibly rushed though, no exposition at all. Like, I get the gist, but geez, feel free to explain some things like Relic Eaters etc. NTAD said: Thread Cleaned Also, for people who think "Who killed Cock Robin" are just some random words: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cock_Robin Nice, didn't know that nursery rhyme. Makes more sense now. |

| Damn that was good. Takeru got a power up...using a katana, nice! Lapis is cute as hell. She is best girl! |

-Dizzy- said: OP was bit boring but I'm happy it wasn't filled with spoilers at least like some openings. Shame we didn't get to see how sick and twisted Haunted is. Was "Hallmark Magic" a sub error or something because that really threw me off? Wasn't it supposed to be "Intristic Magic"? the official translation isnt supposed to be "Hallmark Magic", it's "Intrinsic Magic" |
 |
| That was a pretty good episode! That Cock Robin part made me LOL for like half a minute. "Who killed Cock Robin?" "With my lance and sword" "I killed Cock Robin!" HAHA |
Read Toriko!  |
| Those people need a Japanese teen with chuunibyou to provide to then a better enchantment words to cast a magic U.u |

| The transition was kinda weird in this episode. The scenes jumps on quickly on another one. But at least that Engrish was something. Nice ep. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| I get the feeling that there is a lot more about this world than we've been told thus far. Until I get good reasons otherwise my sympathies will always lie with the witches rather than the inquisitors. |

| Man, this show is making it hard for me to like it. I don't get why the MC (whose voice I absolutely hate, btw) cares so much for someone who's done nothing but call them out and blow them off since they met. If the light-speed pacing were a little better, I might enjoy it much; they crammed four episodes of story into two, and I feel lost disappointed because of it. I'm not voting on this poll, because I'm not allowed to do decimal votes. If I could, I'd give it a 2.5 because I enjoyed the action a little bit. |

| Still enjoyable, but not as good as last week. For one thing I really wish Ohtori had defeated that Alphonse Elric-esque enemy on her own, and it's implied she would have if not for outside interference. So of course the plot demands she fail so our male MC can make his pact with the loli Lapis, who I'm just not feeling yet as a character. Oh well. Seems like more Ohtori drama next week from her "kill all witches" mindset. I'm betting she'll clash over that witch at the beginning and end trying to join them. |
| I don't feel this was all that rushed or hard understand. You given everything you need to know even if somethings are immediately spelled out. It's doing a better job keeping interested compared to other 2 LN adaptations which are just fafting around with nothing but cliches. This feels like it's gonna some where and even if characters aren't unique they play off each other quite well. DatRandomDude said: That Cock Robin part was cringeworthy af and that moment when he says ''i won't give you the cliché line about nothing good coming from revenge.'' ''In return, let me carry half your burden'' I just thought ''Dude, that was fuckin cliché too, jesus christ.'' Beside these 2 point, it was definitely better than the first episode, but still not that great. Doesn't like you get what he saying at all then. Or why he saying as a Captain and someone wants to be a friend to someone has some respect for. EHero09 said: Man, this show is making it hard for me to like it.

To begin with he doesn't disagree with Ouka's harsh assessment of his teams performance that's why he has no grudge against her. But she still part of group whether she like or not and would be completely irresponsible of someone in his position to act like a child about it while she gets herself killed. Takeru is actually showing maturity by persistent in dealing with her problems if simply for the sake of team whole because she not bad person otherwise. He himself nice guy used to dealing with difficult people. animefan8800 said: Still enjoyable, but not as good as last week.

Unlike Takeru, Ouka refuses to forfill her contract with her Relic Eater which why she couldn't beat that Einherjar not because of skill. That's good reason which doesn't anything to do with Takeru being the main character. |

| It's just me or this episode had a bunch of Fate/Zero references? Don't know what came out first, though xD |
| This was a lot better than the first episode. Second half of the episode with action-packed. Ouka used her Relic Eater weapon called Vlad which is dual pistols. Vlad takes some of Ouka's blood to release a pretty powerful attack. Kusagani intervenes but struggles to take out the Einherjar. Lapis finally shows up to Kusanagi and makes a contract with him. Kusanagi now has a pretty cool armour suit. The voice actor of Kusanagi voiced Wave in Akame ga Kill and his armour reminds me of his Grand Chariot. Really cool action though. I liked how his armour turned slightly gold when he absorbed the Einherjar's magic. OST was pretty badass too. Ouka finally smiled at the end~ |
 |
| Man, Takeru's seiyuu just doesn't match him. His voice doesn't fit. |
| Oh god, 3DCGI vs 3DCGI in a 2D environment. |
| Decent Episode action was pretty cool and the BGM was catchy but i'm not really a huge fan of CGI . Seriously what's more cliché ? saying something cliché or saying that you won't say something cliché but in fact you do . Definitely better than first episode that was Generic as F and what the fuck was the "cock robin" thingy ? i was like "hmm okay" |
 |
| don't know how to feel about this yet..not a fan of the full armor either visually the OP is pretty cool but i only really like the ED. and a ton of name drops of things i have no clue are hopefully they get around to it. |

How is that cliche? |
| wow, the directors know well how to use 3DCG and 2D properly. damn, the OP, ED, that ( little ) cinematography, that soundtrack... awesome! |
| Lol hallmark magic. It's supposed too be intrinsic magic but w/e |

''In return, let me carry half your burden'' I just thought ''Dude, that was fuckin cliché too, jesus christ.'' Tha is a really shitty name to have. Cock Robin *sigh* ... Also, The VA mispronounce it and said cook. It was cringe worthy nonetheless. |
| There's no magical spell to save someone's life. |
| Clock robin isn't a name, it's rhyme. In this case Lapis uses as incantation to seal the contract between her Takeru. |
| This has got to be the most rushed episode of the year. Even 4 minute series feels slower than this lol. |
 |
| That was actually really damn good. Consider me hyped. |
 |
| This anime is still meh for me. I blame most of it to the characters because they're just not interesting. |

| Hmm... not bad.. we got to know what actually happened from the eps 1 prologue. So Lapis is a sword or a robot? Or a spirit (Yoshino~)? She's so monotone, but she only make contracts with dying people? Or all Relic Eater only make contract with dying people? Also... whoa Cock Robin is a thing? lol. |

Jagd84 said: Actually Takeru saying it's fine her to seek revenge, just make sure to have a life outside of it. How is that cliche? We know, but he said "Let me carry half your burden". If you fail to understand how that's a cliche thing to say then you cannot be helped. Just because something is reasonable in a situation doesn't make it not cliche. Cliches are cliches for a reason, and it's not because nobody says it or they don't make sense. |
| Damn!!! Pretty good though, He got an Armor and a Loli for the price of one death!!! Honestly, that cock robin though, nice poem there. Hmm, I wonder what does Lapis require to activate? |
| Great battles in this episode, really a rapid development, but adaptation is being good, the sentimentality may be lower, but the action and excitement not fall short, I'm more curious to see the development of anime, I'm already look forward for the next episodes .. |

ShuukaAAT said: Magg379 said: ... I'm thinking about watching this anime, but I need to know something, is it ecchi or just 'fanservice'? ... theres barely any fanservice in the light novels tbh After watch this episode, I see how overboard they went with the fanservice in the manga. Especially when the Einherjar was about to kill Ouka. It made no sense at all that the Einherjar would miss at such close range. ShuukaAAT said: HaXXspetten said: ... You see what happens when you skip the cringeworthy out of place fanservice and just focus one thing at a time? ... there will [barely be] any fanservice in this anyways. as i kept saying, this will be the best out of the fantasy anime this season. Crashmatt said: ... This series hasn't grabbed me yet, it seemed rushed and the world set up is not well explained... they keep skipping explanations for [some] reason, even though it was explained in the novels :v I wouldn't say its the best out of the fantasy anime this season considering all the missing exlainations. Asterisk started out better imo. I read the manga ahead of time as well. Even though it was also missing a bit of explanation near the beginning, they decided to explain things later in the story instead. Hopefully, this anime does the same. The scene transitions need to be a bit smother if they want to decrease the confusion. Even in the manga, I didn't know how Takeru and Ouka got separated after the explosion. They were right next to each other at the cemetery. I can guess what happened since it was mentioned that Ouka ran off by herself, but your not supposed to leave viewers guessing between every scene. Showing it is far better than explaining it in most cases. Why else would we have flashbacks... ShuukaAAT said: Kyruga said: Those people need a Japanese teen with chuunibyou to provide to then a better enchantment words to cast a magic U.u i think those words were anime only o: i don't remember them from the novels. They were also used in the manga. Engrish just ruined it though. I don't want to see that move ever used again. DarklordVor said: So Lapis is a sword or a robot? Or a spirit (Yoshino~)? She's so monotone, but she only make contracts with dying people? Or all Relic Eater only make contract with dying people? In the manga, she attempts to make the contract before and after he's dying, so him dying just moved up the schedule since she wouldn't get another chance. Wise choice on her part since he's the only one who can handle her properly. In the manga, there's more emphasis on this fact and they show off more of her abilities. I'm hoping they show it later in the anime since they neglected it this episode. Since Ouka also has a Relic Eater, it doesn't seem dying is the only way to make the contract. |

| duuuude just an epic episode with dat mechass |
 |
| Interesting episode, had a lot of things in this episode from learning Ouka's past to this enemy necromancer to these weapons called relic eaters. Cant wait to see what more do they have in stored in the next episodes because so far the story is getting really interesting. Here is my full review of the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJfwnaCzh88 |
| episode 2 in a nutshell, combine all these things: iron man, swords, pistols, .50 cal sniper, magic, ghouls, etc. and you get episode 2 of this show that piques my interest very much |
