oh, and it literally rains blood and everyone in white has not a drop on them. show obsessed with bloody imagery, just cause and can't even do the most basic imagery of showing how blood gets on people who do violent things as well. if anything, they'd focus on it getting on some innocent that would subsequently be scarred.

Damn, so Adonis wants to see the world burn doesn't he. While it was revealed that Doroka was coming back in the last episode I was not expecting the witch genocide immediately after that and there was hardly time for Ophelia to react to Doroka being revived instead of Chloe. I'm assuming Adonis and Doroka survived but seeing Yamato broadcast that every witch has been killed is concerning especially since I figured Adonis would've won the fight...

One thing that really kills a show for me is when it just seems like all the characters are incredibly stupid. The humans are stupid. The witches are stupid. Adonis is stupid. Not a single person can seem to just make a smart decision. I can understand Adonis not wanting to help the witches to use Chloe, but to send the humans there and have them all killed? How are you any different than the humans you despise?

The humans are also really stupid. Raging a war against the witches and then getting angry when they retaliate and act like they are the villains? Ohhh poor you with your sister. you expect sympathy while you masacre a ton of witches who also have families they care about? Adonis isn't just at fault, you are as well for being a total idiot.

The witches are stupid. Sure, let's enslave humanity by taking advantage of one our own, and then training these enslaved humans on the moon. Cause that sure as hell will not backfire at some point, right? Sure, they already have technology, let's give them magic too and hope none of them betray you.

The smartest move here would have to bring back Chloe, kept the moon base a secret ... and honestly just live out your lives on the moon till you had enough witches. At some point humanity will let it's guard down because Adonis seemingly vanished and there are no more witches. Rulers would have died and switched out. And someday you all could just move back to earth and what could the human's possibly do? Since the witches now know about the technology they would no longer be blindsided, and they could likely even incorporate that very technology into their own society as well. Fight fire with fire if you need too. Probably could even make tech to work against their tech, and prevent them from canceling out your magic.

Anyway, I am dropping it. It's frustrating watching these morons kill each other.

This. Not only that, they had us at the first half by letting us think that Adonis had already understood Chloe, that he had matured, but welp in the end he'd just mindlessly do things.

it's not good, but it really is hilarious in it's own way. a strike team teleports into hostile territory and kills 1 of Many surprised enemies then just ... waits for a response. after they get wiped out, head witch claims victory to show many of her forces have been killed by team 2. only then does she think they might use their number advantage? guy does a "science based" magic slash that flies around a tree mowing down enemies (and no friendlies) and the witches say to group up behind -CUT In Half- rather than just... you know, crouching under the attack. the show tried so many "surprise" kills that it was just like "okay, any witch that's talking aside from the one on the cover will die next" and that's what Happened. someone say rally, die. someone says "I don't want to..." dies. worse, suddenly, the armed witch women start screaming like helpless teens when someone dies... like people haven't been dying from the start of the fight or like screaming is more useful than ACTUAL MAGIC. MC uses a huge sword to cut off an arm rather than cut someone on half. cybernonja dude uses super speed to punch MC and then 0 follow-up attacks. all the witches put on battle armor to do non-melee attacks and the armor isn't shown to effectively save even a Single one from any attack. the poison fang witch doesn't even poison people. she just cuts them in half. c'mon. you have to admit this show is hilarious.

I kind of dislike this episode, not because of the senseless killing (that much is part of the story after all). Rather what's bad is that they are obviously stretching the content too much.

They are adding too many frames than necessary on a lot of scenes where there are even no movements. 1-3 second movements are becoming 5-6 second bits. They really are trying to conserve the content so they can pour a lot of it every 3 episodes or probably pushing all what they have on the later episodes of the season. I feel like they are baiting you to start picking up the manga source material as early as now and be a more long-term sustained fan of the series.

Adonis successfully restored doroka and also humans raided the witches hideout and started wiping every witch. Let's see how doroka and adonis come out from this.

Damnit Adonis, you just have to be careless and have another bloodbath though this time the witches are collateral damage.

Loli-Knight said:
The witches almost assuredly would have bent the knee to Chloe considering most of them seem to outright worship her, whether because of her power or ideals. The moment she resurrects and tells them she won't pursue revenge most of them would fall in line. The most they could do is threaten her with Adonis' life, but it's not like that's guaranteed to work. There's a million better ways Adonis could have handled this situation. For a guy that's been plotting for a decade straight he sure does seem to make the wrong choice at every turn as if he's outright retarded. I straight up don't get this guy. OBviously he's trying to trick the humans into thinking the genocide is finally complete so he and Pinky can move about relatively easily, but he probably would have been better off just resurrecting Chloe and screwing off with her. Not like the witches would kill her (for obvious reasons), and they couldn't kill Adonis since he's the key to resurrection. They'd have been caught between a rock and a hard place and basically forced into obeying whatever Chloe and Adonis wanted. He's an absolute moron unless he's playing cosmic 5D chess here, which I highly doubt.

I checked the manga and the dialogue is a little different. The almost about to be born Chloe thanked Adonis when he said he wouldn't bring her back to a sick world that she felt she didn't belong in. It was a nice gesture, though yeah the story could have gone a different way just as easily but this is less predictable at least.

Technically he didn't really send them there only neglected destroying the GPS that was put inside of him sooner.

how he revive Doroka with so few memories? why Adonis invite army over?
decent fight but everything's just chaos now. an mc that makes no sense is hard to follow.

That was bothering me too. I assume the memories didn't come from him but the other witches or from Chloe's memories but we just didn't get to see them. It wasnt very clear.

A lot of mixed feelings this episode.
Even reading this in the manga was terrifying.
I wonder what will happen next episode... >_<
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Disapointed at the direction the story is taking. Why did he want the witches to die they could have help him reach his goal. Also they seemed so weak they just all died without resisting. Humans can use magic as well now? That was not simple science. Teleport, magic sword, and space suit way to much in advance for their time. He should've just revive chloe and go in an epic war witch vs human. So much potential wasted.
@X3I4 he wanted them to die since they only wanted to revive clhoe for their own gain as doroka said

Oh dear, now Adonis is just a vengeful killing machine, I knew he would betray Ophelia sooner or later but that was too soon.

At least he knows how to be thankful to his savior Doroka, but still....

What a monster~

I mean i liked the plot initially then it detoriated slowly , but why the hell is the pacing of the anime so slow? After every dialogue/scene there is a pause of 3 seconds it feels awkward. I dont know why always the anime with potential plots get butchered by bad production. With better pacing and some proper bgm it wont be as cringe as it is.

I decided to binge the manga last night just because I had to know how much worse it got. Surprisingly, it got a little better. But also confusing because apparently this anime is actually the sequel of a JP only manga (though what looks like a webcomic to me) called "The Kingdom of Caliburn". It was partially translated at one point but not by much. Whatever that's about. But the kingdom of ruin manga appears to be nowhere near finished and only just getting started story-wise.

So either we're getting an anime only ending or its just gonna hang at a really awkward spot because after this episode... there doesn't feel to be a good place to even pause

Adonis has major main character syndrome and honestly any character that has had any opportunity to not be an awful person 100% of the time. The no-name characters get killed in massive waves and who cares, but because you know this person’s tragic backstory it completely warrants you feeling bad for them! Genuinely every character that isn’t a bloodthirsty pos has come with a friend so that when they die it’s super duper sad and tragic and edgy :o(

When there’s a massive, floor-encompassing pool of blood by only episode 5, you know the anime is trying too hard. I’m rating it a 4 for now, but it wouldn’t surprise me if the anime continues to get worse. How this isn’t even the halfway mark astonishes me - every potentially interesting character has already died.

Reply to howskie
Was really optimistic about this anime after watching the first ep; Watched 3rd episode and I knew how disappointing it would be moving forward. It's just too edgy for me and there are lots of gore here just for the sake of having gore, and what's with this episode being filled with witches speaking then suddenly getting cut off getting killed, there was at least >5 instances this happened lmao it was really repetitive.
@howskie That's really the whole series, without giving specific spoilers, that's basically what the rest of the manga is, just gore and suffering and "everyone is an asshole" for the sake of it

@chekkit Yeah, the Manga literally has 43 chapters, so either they pull a 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist and completely change the direction of it (which would be better honestly, the manga is absolute trash), or they just end it in the middle of a story beat.

Are you sure you watch/read the anime/manga ? It is said at the beginning of episode 5. ;-)

Next episode will be way better. In the anime version, they wanted to create a twist but they should have followed the manga version.

this episode seemed way over the top. I actually like the concept of Witches being persecuted and I think that's an interesting plot device. However if you basically kill them all off whats the point of the show? Is it just revenge?

By the looks of it Witches are pretty much gone so genocide wins the day. Not sure that's the message but it certainly comes across that way.

There goes another number characters that we will never know more about, because they died in the spawn of two episodes lmao.

The battle animation is veeeeeeeery bad. Like, you can see they are doing their best with no budget, but still, LOL.

Anyway, I thought the original idea was good but as episodes go on I would say this is not what I expected... in a bad sense.

I was debating on dropping this show. I left it all up to this episode and i got to say, although i don't think of the show in high regards, the way this episode ended makes me want to know what's next. Witches are almost extinct and Adonis has the human race as enemies left. Guess it's going to be Adonis, the pink haired girl against the world type of story.
