Dark_Kain said: My problem with this anime is that I really can't see Azazel in an heroic (even if anti-heroic) position. Last season he was the quintessential card calling villain, killing Favaro's father for the lulz, royally fucking Favaro and Kaisar's lives. Murder and torture were perfectly ok to him when humans were the victims. And now whe should just accept him in an heroic role because demons are oppressed, without half a comment of self-reflection about his past? No can do. Azazel is definitely still a sadistic and murdering bastard. Just because he's doing something that's considered heroic doesn't mean he has to act like it. Pretty sure episode 2 dispelled the notion of that with exhibit a) the awful way he treated Nina and b) just look at how slowly he stuck that knife into the noble while Kaisar looked on. And another point to b? He's still perfectly okay with murdering and torturing humans. He hates what's happening to demons because it's a taste of his own medicine with what he used to do (and still does, actually) with humans. While episode 2 does justify his actions, it doesn't mean he's suddenly a quintessential heroic action figure bent on saving the world while being a polite and kindly Mother Teresa. Of course, if the show does decide to take him down the route of an eventual hero, I'm all for it, because so far it's doing it in a realistic and palatable way (insofar as I can see). |

| Just wanna say that both the OP and ED kick ass. |
| Loving the new OP/ED, glad SiM is back. As for the episode, can't disagree with Azazel way of doing things after seeing all that, wonder how this will play out with Kaizer. |
  |
| I'm loving this! Never expected all those reactions from Azazel just being around Nina. And I like how she is a happy go lucky strong girl character! Can't wait to see how are they going to make Favaro appear in this story. |
 |
| Thoroughly enjoying this sequel. Pure goodness! |

| So Nina originates from a village of human-form dragons. "We loved to instill fear in humans" They should have expected, that it bites them in the ass one day. Azazel wants Nina's power, but she doesn't care about his vendetta. Kaisar is right: Azazel's behaviour will only give birth to more hate. Riiitaaaa Punch! She's as great as ever. Azazel's companion is a god. Interesting. |

| Yep, definitely much darker than season one. Also, while I like Nina as a character, and that she provides at least some of the comedic relief that was so abundant in season one, her storyline does distract from the story I actually want to follow, which is about Kaisar's impendent rebellion. Illyricus said: I thought that kid with Azazel was only a sidekick character, but he seems very important considering king Charioce refered to him as Holy Child and is able to cancel magic. I think Azazel, finding him, assumed he was a demon, but he actually is an angel. He lost his wings and his ability to speak, so Azazel probably just couldn't tell. L-Ryoshi said: Still needs to be explained as to why Kaiser has never graduated from being a king's lapdog, but I'm sure there's a perfectly valid reason... hopefully.... He has, he has become captain of the Orlean knights. It's just that "king's lapdog" is as much as any ordinary nobleman could hope to achieve. Still wondering about how Kaisar and Favaro got separated from Rita though, even after watching the OVA's, and what happened to Jeanne, especially after the second OVA. Even without the current situation, character maturation, and overall darker tone, Kaisar appears to have become much more sombre, depressed even, than in both season one and the OVA's. I wonder what has happened during those ten years. |

| Interesting: a new race is introduced through the heroin, and the little demon boy is apparently some angel/divine being with rather strong abilities. Overall, a good second episode though I would have prefered the usual double episodes start since this is a full-length series. 4/5 I wonder if sometimes during this 24 episodes series, messages desparately calling back protagonists of the previous adventure will cease. |

| Great episode overall, loved it. I feel bad for the demons really, sucks to see them being slaves and being tortured. Azazel isn't in the wrong with what he want's to do. That said, Nina is still cute and funny as ever. Also the OP was awesome, I like it a lot. The ED was really cute too. I got a kick seeing Rita and her hand clean up the place after Nina woke up and when she punched Azazel saying: "I thought you were a rag demon, not a nag demon" Can't wait for next episode! |
 |
| stylish OP, cute ED, but nothing I really really like. The flying shiny boy closeup had some nice aura and colours! Aaaand I really like the hand, so funny! x) Kaizer is cool as always! I like his character. =) |
Fuck, this episode was so good, it felt so short |
 |
| Omg I love the opening song |
eXtacy67 said: I am not a fan of screamo music so the OP I really dislike but the rest of the show I am absolutely loving! I didn't like the OP either. Season 1's OP is a masterpiece in comparison, I don't think I've ever skipped it in fact. This one however, I think I'll be skipping it a lot, which is a shame. Well, at least we have a fantastic ED to compensate for that. |
| jeeezz...this is so high quality, i love it ED of season IMO |

| New OP is okay, especially the animation is amazing, although song-wise the first one was much better. The ending on the other hand, ughhh just give me back Amira's ballade T_T I was surprised to see that Nina is from a dragon village, I thought he was just a normal human randomly turning into one. That sounds a bit refreshing. Especially since it seems that she tuns into dragon form whenever she sees a hot guy :D  Also, it looks like Azazel an the other kid (seriously, I was sure it was a girl at first lolz) will be joining the main crew, and that's awesome, I won't say no to the sexy demon in latex voiced by Morita-san :> I was hoping to see Favaro this week though, and judging by lack of him in the opening sequence, we won't see him right away, sadly... If not for this thread I wouldn't even notice that he was in the ending lol. |
  |
| Can someone tell me. Isn't kaiser and azarel suppose to know each other? This is a direct sequel right? Or story doesn't continue from genesis? |
| so the kid that is with Azazel maybe a hybrid of demon and god eh just like Amira was? and so Nina is from a dragon village/race, i thought she will be somehow linked to Amira since Amira fused with another dragon that is Bahamut |
| Should I watch Genesis before continuing with Virgin Soul? |
| New OP and ED are both awful, but the episode itself was pretty good. Slower, for sure, but when there's 24 episodes I'm not really worried about that at point. After all, this episode seemed to be all about dispelling the notion that Azazel is supposed to be heroic, as he's doing exactly the same kind of things as in Genesis, except now he's motivated by revenge rather than simply doing it because he can. Kaisar's position in this new conflict between demons and humans is much more interesting to me, even though I cannot see it ending well for him at all. |
| Great OP! But I do prefer season 1 song, since it's same band singing it, they should've went with similar vibe |

| LOL @ Nina's Horny problems! I'm with Azazel for now, as he murders humans with a cause, and Kaizar witnessed and realized it! That Holy kid (Mugaro) is badass! Rita was awesome punching Azazel! 5/5. |
 |
| I seem to be one of the few who DIDN'T like the opening. Season one was WAY better. But I really love the ED. Even though I don't think it fits much. Something about the episode really felt off. I don't think it was the pacing... but I really can't seem to place it. Good to see that Kaiser's sense of justice extends to demons too. Also, aren't the humans justified in their enslaving of the demons? Didn't the demons ROYALLY fuck up the humans AND unleash Bahamut? |

| Man, just watched episode 1 and 2. The story is good though about human enslaves demon. Character? What I think about Nina is, SUCK AS FAK. Nina is really unlikeable character in the series, even the other quieter one has more charm than her. She's just there imitating Favaro. I MISS FAVARO SO MUCH NOW 2/5 |
| 4th times getting signature banned wtf |
The highlight of the episode... Azzy gets REKT! #youdontneedwingstofly |

| Not a fan of the OP even though the visuals are great the song just doesn't live up to it but the ED I really love. Nina continues to be best girl of this season. |
 |
| I like Azazel, but he is one of the biggest hypocrites I've ever seen. 'Mankind side' needs more developed characters, otherwise this confrontation won't arouse my curiosity or interest. |
| I like the portrayal of Azazel so far. He has heroic ideals due to his race being oppressed by the ones they were supposed to oppress but he's still depicted as the sadistic and lecherous demon we know. It's not trying to make us empathize with him deeply and root for him but rather just look at things from his perspective. Nina is a new favorite of mine. Her energetic and bubbly aura is a refreshing addition in this otherwise, chaotic world they live in. The way Azazel was seriously trying to bring her to their side but all she's doing is act flustered by his good looks was so much fun to see. I mean, I can't even blame her for that. The show is teeming with hot guys. I'm all for Free or Kuroko no Basket-esque style of bishounen but Shingeki no Bahamut's men's designs are by far the best I've seen. Also Rita throwing in some puns. She never fails to amuse me. It seems like my opinion of the OP is an unpopular one. I prefer the first season's more. The pre-chorus just sounds too plain to me. The only part I liked from the whole song was the chorus. The ED is better than the first season's though. It's cute and I like how it contrasts the OP. I'm enjoying this show as much as I did from the first season. I hope MAPPA stays consistent for the whole 24 episodes. The first season was totally unexpected considering this is adapted from a mobile card game. It's good to know that they're actually exerting effort into this. |
 |
| oh nice. The opening is from SiM again. Not quite as good as the last one but still pretty good. Honestly. Kaisar doesn't look very happy in his current position even though that's the thing he was fighting for all the time I'm really wondering where this is going. I can see Kaisars argument but in an age like that shit doesn't work that way. Seems like Azazel is at least stopping some of the stuff that is going on. Obviously that won't solve anything in the bigger picture though. |
| Wow just realized that I barely remember anything from the first season. Totally gonna rewatch it, like, right now. We have 22 episodes left but I'm already fairly sure that Amira won't make a single appearance. Looking forward to seeing Favaro again - although not until Nina's character has a proper place in the viewers heart~ Also, quite disappointed with the opening, doesn't get me nearly as pumped for the episode as the first seasons did, but clinging onto the hope that they will change it for the second cour |
| This second episode was better the first one.... More characters, how the girl Zombie that Help the Girl Dragon (a like this characters)!!!! and the last boy, Saint Boy with the eyes of different colour and great power, "mahou"?!!! Usually we watched how the demons/aliens/etc enslave humans, in this anime is the opposite, the humans enslave Demons, and this town lifes in the misery and other dieds of the Circus sand how spectacle!!! How i said to the begining of this write, this second episode is better in all aspects!!! |
terrablu2003 said: this anime give me one piece vibes corrupt kingdom gladiator deathmatches slavery mistreatment of a certain minority groupThe episode not only does not disappoint, but on the narrative level, raises big a story that shows elements albeit not entirely innovative, it's interesting. The designs are great, animations too. Backgrounds are rocking, and the opening, but especially the ending, I like a lot. I look forward to the next week with the third episode, I'm liking this too much anime series.  |
