Reaction upon seeing Vivi become Chaika: "What the CHAIKA!?!?!?!?!?"

Mind = BLOWN ; pieces are stuck to the ceiling and I can't get them off.

That cliffhanger alone 11/10

Episode as a whole: 8.5/10

Glilette is dead huh.. (Doubt it though.)
Vivi, transformed into a Chaika? The hell? Certainly couldn't have seen that coming.
The shock of Gillette's death probably caused it
Lol Frederica's chibi form XD
Didn't expect that.
Oh and Tooru has a chance to be come a dragoon cavalier. Nice :)

I lost it when I saw what Frederica pull out. I mean it was like a gory scene from "Alien", her dead body's stomach swelled up, then exploded and... a chibi Fred appeared. I did not expected that and I burst out laughing.

Overall I really like it. The LN readers said it was kind of rushed compared to the original work but I didn't really felt that (gonna read to check). 8/10
I've only seen 3 Sasaki Ichirou's works (including this) and I absolutely love what he does. I enjoyed it more than NGNL to be honest.

My only complaint is that Bones gave more money for Captain Earth (and maybe Soul Eater Not. Can't tell, not watching it). I hope the 2nd season's animation/art will improve.

Just because her hair turned white doesn't mean she's "become" a chaika. At least, we have zero information that would support something like that happening. I think for now it's safe to assume her hair turned white out of shock, which is something not unheard of.

And I think Gillette is dead, we can't compare him to the immortal Fredrica.


Vivi's hair turned white, her eyes turned from blue to violet, and her eyebrows got bigger. She's definitely turned into a Chaika. Maybe everyone will become Chaika.

I've always had suspicions of Guy being the main villian, what I've seen now just increases those suspicions. My running theory is that Guy is the spirit of Emperor Gaz, who will be restored upon gathering of his remains.

Very satisfied with this series. I got the adventure I wanted, and the fights were great to boot! Season 2 can't come soon enough for me! For me, not every episode has to be action packed, I love learning small things about characters, what they aspire for, what is their favorite food etc etc. Overall this was the show I didn't expect to perform, that performed VERY well in my books.

Any Dark Souls players here?



As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.

i bet gillette was saved by "guy", he prob wouldnt die so easily. like whats the point to kill him off? it was prob to introduce Vivi's powers like Torus iron blood. i wonder what her power is? if iron blood is bravery. then is Vivis shock or some other emotion? anyways gillette will prob come back like fredrica did except in a less gruesome fashion

well anyway, Vivi hair turns white? Is she another Chaika too... whoa this might be a plot twist haha.

Thank god there is a second season.. I have so many questions. And I'm completely not satisfied with Gilettes death. Something just seemed off about it. Hopefully he isn't dead. Keeping my fingers crossed.

And also, when they finally killed the bad guys it seemed so rushed.. So much build up, and then in a minute all is done and everything is back to normal. Still love the series, but that was some reaalllyy bad pacing.

Also.. Dat kiss.. I honestly didn't expect that, and it was extremely cute.

Come on October, be here sooner so I can find out what happens! (I know theres a light novel but shh animation is lovelier)

You just completely cleared things up for me in two short posts.

Maybe being a Chaika is something that is implanted in you at birth, and an extreme emotional event is what leads to your powers awakening? And "guy" is the one responsible for creating the circumstance for the Chaika to awaken.

Sort of like.. An excess of magic builds up within you and triggers something (Like how the creep dude killed all those girls for fuel.) My prediction is probably way off sorry y'all.

Well i'm glad Frederica is alive at least. I'm surprised that everyone from Chaika's and Gillette's groups managed to escape alive. With an episode name like "Those left behind" you'd assume some people from either group would die. I guess Gillette payed that price but i don't feel like he's really dead. Although it looks like Vivi turned into another Chaika, perhaps the transformation into Chaika is caused by extreme emotions?

Man! What an anime! x3
Really awesome, especially the action and fighting scenes. :3 The characters were cool too, so was the atmosphere of like...magic and medieval times and stuff like that....really cool. :3
I liked this anime: From the very beginning where Toru fought a flying, ugly unicorn, to the end where Toru, Fredrica, Akari, and Chaika continue on there journey. :3
Overall a good anime to watch, highly recommended! x3

Ok....so going into the topic of the anime itself......Gilette is...dead? Right? o-o
Vivi's reaction.....White hair? o-o
White....hair.....
WHITE HAIR!!! O-O
Another Chaika is born?! YES! Or..is another one born? Who knows! Second season to explain it! xD
Also! Maybe there will be more different colored Chaika, huh? xD

So can't wait, second season is going to be a blast! XD

OH! ONE MORE THING~!
Chaika and Toru kissed! xD So cute! x3

This show was good in general and one of those shows that is underrated This is the anime that starts my Wednesday anime session ever since it aired and it had a lot of elements that I wish to be explored in season 2. For example why Vivi turned into a Chaika? Who is the "Guy" and why Layla (or blue Chaika) freezes up when she saw him? Will Toru make that contract? Finally, will Fredrica get to fight Toru again? With this and many more so I am interested to see what happens next with the main characters and the side characters. So team hype for season 2

I think with Fredrica's offer to allow Touru to become her Cavalier the prospective fight to the death is probably off. With the two flying fortresses destroyed, as well as the punitive force, it looks like there is a real power vacuum here, and numerous people aching to fill it. I suspect that Chaika and her party will be fighting their way through a multi-sided war while trying to recover the rest of the remains.

Pretty good mid way finale, I think the execution could had been a tad bit stronger in certain aspects but i was thrown for a loop at certain moments such as gilletes death and vivi actually being chaika. I really like how tooru killed the kid even if its a tad bit anticlimatic, its just badass how he pretty much offed him and then shit talked his skills as just being stabbing making it seem like the little psycho was nothing but a pushover in his final moments

Overall the series has its highs and lows but im very interested in where it goes from here. Its caught me off guard more than it had bored me and I generally thing most of the my issues resided mainly in its introductory stages than its more recent episodes. i liked it and id say its a high 6/10. Had it been a tad bit better executed I think it could had been a 7 but some of its sloppiness at points held it back.

Enjoyed it. Lmao at when Fredrica exploded out of her other body in loli form, was not expecting that.

When Akari hit that mage dude in the head, I kinda expected more... force?

Decent episode. Glad Frederica came up with a contingency plan in case her life was in danger, also glad that she dished out a bit of payback. The counts son had to peaceful of an ending for me to be satisfied with his death, considering that he probably killed hundreds of girls. I'm really looking forward to the next season

As for Vivi. Rather than Vivi "turning into" a Chaika, I'd like to think that she was probably already one, but just didn't know it. Seems a little far fetched to believe that people just suddenly turn into Chaikas, but with the way the anime has developed so far and how mysterious the Chaikas already are, I can at least kinda believe that maybe people can become a Chaika, but as of now I think it might be safer to assume that Vivi was already one as I originally stated.
Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast.

Also, Toru foreshadowed to become a cavalier partner for Fredrica? Looks interesting.

Cannot wait for season 2!!!
Vivi might not be Chaika. There is a disease or something like that that turns your hair white when you experience a sudden shock of sadness. It happened in Gosick to the main character as well.

Fun series. Great last episode. Loved Akari's hammer to the head. No bullshit talking just death. The biggest problem I had with this series is that I didn't really care about the characters. I only really cared about Chaika. Chaika and Fredrica made the show though. Had some cool fight scenes, Toru is a cool fighter. Didn't really need that scene with Layla and the crazy slasher kid, just made me roll my eyes.

It seems ridiculous for people to turn into Chaikas, she must've already been one and she or someone else had disguised her (if it was someone else, they probably wiped her memory too). Second season! Shocking truth! Can't wait! 7/10!

Wait what? Vivi got Chaika-fied? :o Does that mean being a Chaika is something triggered...that or she was already a Chaika in the first place but why does she look different. My head hurts.

I doubt Gillette's dead. At first I thought Guy appearing behind Gillette was just a mistake from the animators but maybe he had planned this all along. The plot thickens...

Lost it at Mini-Frederica XD Akari has impeccable timing as always when it comes to keeping Toru off Chaika.

8/10.

Wow thank god there is going to be a season 2 because that was on hell of a cliffhanger!

Vivi turned into a Chaika!? That was a bit odd. Toru might form a cavalier dragoon contract with Frederica. Gillete died?! I hope not though. He was the enemy who was trying to understand his enemy it would be a shame to see him die before he obtains the knowledge he was looking for.

For some reason I was laughing my fucking ass off so hard when Akari just clunked that Grad guy in the head with her hammer. I don't know why, but I just found it hilarious.

Speaking of Akari, I was kind of disappointed we didn't see her go saboteur mode at all. I like Toru, and I think he's a badass MC and an excellent fighter, but I wanted to see a couple of scenes focused more on Akari fighting. In the OP you see her swinging her hammer around and stuff and it looks oddly graceful, and I thought that was a little lacking in the actual show. And like I said before, if her and Toru are both saboteurs, then she should go saboteur mode too.
