| as much as i enjoyed this glad were back to Zesty next week,mainly because this felt like the first 2 -3 hours or so. just glad i can finally listen to Burn without the characters talking over it! |

| I really don't see the point of the last 2 episodes. They have been cool and entertaining but why have it smack in the middle of a Zestiria anime. Please get back to Zestiria and some story/world building. Toa_of_Gallifrey said: This really should've been an OVA or placed elsewhere. As an anime only watcher, I'm very confused as to what's going on. Yep my thoughts exactly. |
| FLOW with great OP as usual <3 and Eleanor! Meh, JP getting Berseria on the 18th, while we wait for next year :'( Aaand we're back to Zestiria! As for the Berseria episodes, I can only think of it as what happened before Zestiria, how 'Seres' may be Lailah, and the Shepherd story. Oh well, we'll know how they're going to relate the two Tales when someone with a JP version finishes soon |

| I liked this side of the story more... |
 |
| What a fight!! That dragon was glorious! Looking forward to seeing how they tie this together with eps 1-4. |

He was surrounded by spiritual beings which are spiritual beings a.k.a seraphims. Surely you guys can make an connection. It seems likely that this was the origin of the shephards powers. |
| Zestiria will be back next week. I'm glad it's back to its course(coz even if Berseria was good, the transition between the two series is bad). Still, I hope there will be more on Berseria materials though. |
| Finally this is the last one. I didn't came here to see a typical revenge rpg plot whose protagonist is a emo girl with Allen Walker's arm. |

Surely you guys can make an connection. It seems likely that this was the origin of the shephards powers. I REALLY fucking doubt they needed to fully animated an entire two episode side story, which is really another main story, to delve into seraphim lore; and to drop it in the middle of a completely different story no less. I mean honestly, did we really need to know that much to understand what's happening currently? It's like if you asked me about the PS1 and I go on a tangent about the history of gaming. We don't need a crash course when a simple explanation is more than sufficient. Having said that the last two episodes were interesting on their own but sets up an entirely new plot... in the middle of a plot. It's just probably the weirdest thing I've seen in the history of unnecessary Anime expositions. It's completely off topic, but just as intriguing. Completely detached from what we were shown previously, but it seems more interesting than the former. Bears no consequence to the narrative, but oddly is the most satisfying to watch so far. It's not bad, I'd actually consider it great if it had been on it's own, but it's just really fucking odd. Tyrel said: Rewrite's CGI is shit. You can't really compare the CGI's. I bet you a dragon CGI is far more tougher than those crappy whatever Gaia creatures were. I'm not usually a CGI whore as long as it doesn't break the immersion. I am however always gonna moan about things being cloaked in absolute darkness (I.E pitch fucking black). At worse the dragon appears to be just a blur and at best you can just make out that it's suppose to be a dragon. I doubt having it done by hand would of been much better as you could barely even see the damn thing. |
| @LordLagann I could see it just fine lol o_O. Everything about from the moment it appeared, to when it died was a dragon. There was no moments of "Just a blur". https://puu.sh/qBRZy.jpg https://puu.sh/qBRZy.jpg |
|
| If they're serious in going through with this Berseria promotion then I just hope that plot in Zestiria and Berseria would interconnect because otherwise, this would've been a waste of time. A separate OVA would've sufficed. |
 |
| ah... so basically these past two episodes were like an advertisement of the future game in the anime!?! WTF! All of my theories are useless now :| I thought they were flash forward and the "Artorius" they talk about is the future "Sorey" that gone too far to save the world. Even that "Seres" character ( the one that sacrifice her self in the end) was so slimier to "Maltran" (the adviser for the Alisha hime) by the hair color, voice and body shape! So i thought they are the same. Damn you studio, the story would have been so cool that way x) |

| i know Velvet is cool, and Berseria definitely looks cool, but at this point i dont care about it since nothing in the two episodes seems relevant to Zestiria. except the very subtle mention that the dragon was a form of malevolence... but wasn't it obvious? if that's the end of Berseria involvement then i will be very disappointed. |

Velvet appears to be the first Lord of Calamity. Before focusing on Berseria (last 2 episodes), Lailah talked about the Lord of Calamity a little. Given enough time, the Lord of Calamity can alter the world itself. The episode that introduced Velvet is called "The Dawn of Chaos". Velvet's actions are going to cause chaos around the world and change it, forever. In that sense, she may very well be the Lord of Calamity. In Zestiria, the Shepherd is the savior of the world (well, mostly, I could go into details but that may be a bit spoiler-ish). In Berseria, it paints the Shepherd as not so good. In Zestiria, the Lord of Calamity is painted as an evil being. If Velvet is indeed the first Lord of Calamity, she's being painted as an anti-hero. She may even be Chaotic-Good. |
  |
| The prequel of Zestiria's story is finally finished (Berseria) for now . . . the origin of malevolence. Now back to the present. Berseria and Zestiria are in the same world. Berseria is in the past. I don't know how long the time gap is. |

| @Tyrel Maybe you feel differently but the only times it looked like a dragon was when it was fully in the frame, which is lucky most of the time. Otherwise all the subsequent close ups and crops is either a blur or so dark it might as well be a silhouette, with a few exceptions. In the grand scheme of things it's actually a good dragon and I've defiantly seen worse be it CGI or just poorly lit action scenes. I just don't feel having it done by hand would of made it better in this case since the CGI works just fine. |
| So this is end of Berseria. At least in this cour. Dragon_Slayer_X said: Sigh do people really believe Beseria cast is going to show up again or steal the show? Nobody is stupid enough to show the full story of a new game that's going to come out in a few months or the next year to be exact. It was advertising at it's best and you can try to make connections with Zestiria cast and events. Come out in 3 days in Japan. And while such move is impossible now, it's still possible in second cour, that would be in winter (few months after release of game in Japan). Personally I think we can get another more spoiling 1-2 episodes of Berseria in second cour, that will make more connection to Zestiria. Definitelly not full story. |
| the new story arc kinda sucks... |
 |
| It's so beautiful *_*. To bad that the story sucks dick tho, wasted effort.. |

Berseria is in the past. I don't know how long the time gap is. iirc 1000 year difference, also seems from the small flashback, velvet was sitting in a place where sorey was at the start, all up in the clouds |

SKP138 said: I'm starting to believe Zestiria anime is a huge Tales of Berseria commercial for the next game since it's going to be released on August 18th which is a few days. errr...no shit? There's absolutely no reason to adapt Zestiria(even the authors recognize it is a worthless trainwreck nobody liked) and Ufo NEVER takes chances with adaptations. God Eater was advertisement and so is this. |

| Such a dick move... Now I need to buy the game |
 |
| Adapting two games together? This will turn into a total trainwreck with no proper story nor good characterization. But now it's clear, ufotable doesn't know how to adapt games. |
Re:Zero nice troll ending.  |
 hmm While i liked the last 2 ep., i can't help but be weirded out by the shift, especially since we are returning to Zestiria next ep. This shifting really takes you out of the story. I hope they cross later or it will be kinda meh... They really should've picked one and sticked with it, if they won't somehow cross them later. |
| Them visuals though omg, apparantly they're going back to Zestiria story next week, which I'm fine with :D |
 |
| Velvet is up against a super strong dude and that little fight looked too good as expected of ufotable. And then a giant doragon appears out of nowhere and the strong dude shifts his attention towards it. And then a random magical girl pops up with her fun background music. That part was hilarious. She wasn't saying anything funny or something, but I couldn't help laugh at her introduction. Get the idea, lady! There's a wild dragon here about to kill everyone. Don't just pop up with your own background music and lighten up the mood. I like this sorceress whatever her name is already. And then the episode ends with Velvet saying that they won't be on the show. Uh, why did you nekoing waste two whole episodes then if you're not gonna show up again? Velvet is easily a better protagonist than Sorey to follow. At least she has started off with a better purpose than Sorey who seemingly just happened to be there during the Shepherd ceremony and became the Shepherd. Well, at the very least they could link Velvet and co with Sorey and friends in whatever way. They do have two scenes of Velvet in the opening sequence for Zestiria which makes me inclined to believe that she may come again against Sorey at some point. She should show up again along with that sorceress because the latter is fun and the former is sekushi. Also, that sequence in the end was sugoi along with that song. |
| Man, that was an amazing episode ! Now this pisses me off because Berseria is gone and that boring af zestiria will be back next week. ;-; Also, that FLOW song is way better than Kaze no Uta. |
 |
what the hell is that face doing there? lol the music was good |
 |
| I'm somewhat upset that they blatantly slapped two Berseria episodes in the middle of Zestiria, just for the sake of promotion. Sure the animation and water was cool and all (except the dragon), but don't ride on another anime's title and offset the main story. Disgusting. |
Nice episode, the action was top-notch. wanted to have more scenes from Valvet's crew to get to know the characters better but well...  love her already! Also, the animation is just in another level! |
Sometimes791 said: Adapting two games together? This will turn into a total trainwreck with no proper story nor good characterization. But now it's clear, ufotable doesn't know how to adapt games. It literally is impossible to make Zestiria's plot worse than it already is. Replacing the most cringey and plotholey upcoming parts with Berseria can only improve it.

Again, the only reason why Zestiria even got adapted is to promote Berseria. Its the only reason it exists. This is one giant 20 episode ad for Berseria. |

| LOL. you ain't gonna tell me this two episode. this week and the previous episode are just a fillers ? but i still enjoy it a lot. it's an entertaining ride for a filler. or maybe a promotional video ? i don't know much about it but heck, it was so damn awsome xD but still at the same time, i think it's a bad idea to slip in a filler/promotional video in a different title of series (if i were the producer/director i would never did that even if there were some issue and makes the producer must put/slip in the filler/promotional video in a different title of series)....well, let's just see what they will gonna do with the rest 6 episode.... and this episode, there is one character that i really like so much and it's already in my fav list of character, it's Magilou xD and lol, i was afraid that she might be a guy/trap but thank god, she is a girl xD i really like her a lot cause of her cool and upbeat personality xD makes it funny and obviously looks cool too. wish to see more of her but they need to get back on the track again xD so yeah..... heck, i love her so much. give me more of her!!! lol xD looking foward to the next episode... but damn, she actually devoured the dragon. it's kinda sad that she devored the spirit ;_; we will not be seeing her anymore ;_; that is sad ;_; but when she devored the dragon, that was insane tbh xD |

| Back to our normal show again After that intense fight plus the dragon its the most beautiful animation I ever seen ( no more budget for next Tales of ___ because that animation ) well 2 Episode Tales of Berseria will hope a lot of people buy the game Fun Fact: It seems the Tales of Berseria game opening theme was included after the credits |
 |
| Am I just watching a fucking advert for Tales of Zesteria/Beseria?! I guess this is what happens when you try to adapt a 40 hour long game into a 13 episode anime. |
AvidAnimeViewer said: Am I just watching a fucking advert for Tales of Zesteria/Beseria?! I guess this is what happens when you try to adapt a 40 hour long game into a 13 episode anime. correction. It's 26 eps |
| Man i say this again. Seriously an eye candy with the animation! love it, the music taste was great as well. differently going to buy this game as soon as possible, and when i find my steam account password... xD wish to see the first story from we left off with a big as cliffhanger... ut dont know how long it is if its a 12ep or 24ep, i mean, if we gonna see more of Velvet course,i need 24ep xD Also Velvet badass AF! |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| Velvet's story is so much more interesting... Didn't expect her brother to be the Lord. :O |
| Watch the OP from the first episodes, you clearly see Sorey in that dust cloud, and after you see Velvet dropping from the sky WITH THE SAME DUST CLOUD. I don't see why they would have done this if they never fight. Crossover coming |
