I actually think the light Guin and the others saw looks like something you would see on a space ship^^ It's good to see the humans got whacked badly by the monster instead of Guin, he doesn't need to waste his brute strength on them all the time :D Looking from the preview, it looks like Amnelis and Naris are going to get married but i don't think it would go as smoothly as that.

Strange episode. It's funny to me that there is this cycle of who beats up the intruders: Istvan, Guin, Monster. I think this is like the third or fourth repetition of that cycle. It's neither good, nor bad, but just weird. Next, we have Remus softening up, which is also quite out of character with his out of characterness. Finally, Marius takes his whack singing straight into the the heart of enemy territory. I did like that they didn't try to beat around the bush regarding the connection between the balls of light and Guin. Just as I was thinking it, Remus drew the conclusion.

But basically, lots of good movement for plot, but in very baffling ways.

Now Istovan and Rinda are now officially a couple, even with Guin there.... 0.o

Remus predicts that Istovan and Rinda will marry, leading to a big war between him and Istovan.... hmmmm.... not sure who's side I'm on tbh.

Guin is the only character I like at the moment, everyone else seems to piss me off in some way or the other...

The episode is not something I'd say I like but yeah, good progress in the story. Probably I like how Remus talks in here. Amnelis brother there was pretty boy. When Marius arrived, it seems predictable what will happen after then (seeing the preview proved it). Episode ended with those strange guys and they made me curious who they are. Finally, coming up next is the marriage!

Some subtleties of this episode, nearly EVERY scene is crucial to the future plot:

bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

I like where the plot is going, there was always a bit of mysticism and such but throwing a huge monster and a ball of light in like that can only make it better.

Remus = Future evil sorcerer?

I am surprised how easy Marius got into the palace, is that servant an idiot to bring a stranger like that to see the prince, unbelievable!

I'm feeling rather uneasy with these current events: Ishtovan embracing his inner pedo, and Remus embracing his inner evil. I had the same reaction as Guin when Remus said that he'd be able to conquer the world once he is able to control the ancient machine at the Crystal Tower and the ship that flew from the island they were all on.

Marius had some crazy luck to finally be able to meet with the Archduke's son and meet Oro's parents. Also, I feel he should be play more songs rather than going through different verses of the same one.

ANybody skipping Marius' singing ? LOL, I know I didnt since it made me cry...from laughter XDDD

Other than that, another awesome episode which shifts to DELICIOUS YAYOI this time after going through EPIC, COMEDY, ROMANCE with our now established fury couple Guin x Remus & the Shota couple Marius x Miail.

Other than YAYOI, it offered us with some good TENTACLE RAEP this time around with the monster and pirates...ARGGH, gotta love Guin Saga XDDDD

Well, Ishtovan still sucks at protecting somebody and only show his worth with his pimping, what a manwhore LOL

Lastly, STUPID Miail, why the heck do u cry when you're gonna get sum SMEX ?!! 0-o.Guess the guy only loves guy on guy or something...



If he's not with us, he's AGAINST us!!!

lol. The author of Guin Saga is one of the pioneers of YAOI. Guin Saga is partially the reason why Yaoi exists today....

Unless Guin goes the route of modern yaoi...it's a shame it ended up the way it is. I'd say she's probably the reason bara exists.

May I ask who or what is "bara"? I do know the man's pride: MARA though... Its not something related with boy x boy, is it ?

It is. Written by men, whereas yaoi is written by women. Though Guin's author is a woman, her approach thus far is one that is geared toward men...though I will say Remus, Naris, and Amnelis' little brother changes things up a bit.

This, basically, a weird but well-developped episode in terms of script mainly. Strangely enough, we didn't see neither Aldo nor Amnelis, whose wedding should take place next episode, along with a lot of other things as the preview suggests.

He's not new, we saw him some episodes ago, he is Amnelis' little brother and prince of Mongaul !

Rinda is 14 and Istavan is 20...only a 6 year difference. I don't see him as a pedo, there's probably couples like that now and it was definitely not weird in older days. Anyway, my favorite characters is Istavan of course *O* Good plot development so far. Too bad there's only one active subber for this series. I thought that people would be interested in it enough to warrant more subbers.

Yeah, I wish other subbers would get on this. There's so much going in this show that I often wonder why other subbers aren't giving this show a shot.

Also 6 years, when you really think about it, is a lot of time and a lot of difference. In 2003, the space shuttle Discovery flies its last flight, Tampa Bay wins Super Bowl XXXVII, the completion of the Human Genome Project, the Top Thrill Dragster became the World's Fastest Roller Coaster (prior to Kingda Ka), the end of the invasion of Iraq, the start of rising oil prices, etc.

Hopefully, I pray that Ishtovan does nothing more to further ruin my image of him.

you also have to consider the time period. it would not be unusual to have a large gap in age. the fact that she got mad when she heard he was marrying some chick is proof of that.

remus's ambition leads me to believe he will become some evil character later on. Guin has not really considered his ideas as malicious. as far as they see it, he has simply grown out of his timid state.

Hmm...Remus already made a theory about Aliens ans spacecrafts. The guy not only powered up but got new brain power as well. And is it me or does it look like Remus and Guin are making a little team while Rinda and Istavan another?

I doubt the marriage will go well tbh. Chances are:

1) Amnelis dies
2) Naris dies
3) Neither dies but gets separated for good

So Guin is an alien of some sort? This is definitely getting weird now.

OK, I’m done. Additional new subplots that I’m not willing to follow anymore. Plus way too much palace intrigue for me. There’s no reason to have all this stuff continuing to be added when the only plot I care about is Guin and the twins.
