And again they over glorify the new woman general villain character in terms of strength and being evil. She seemed interesting though so hopefully she's at least entertaining unlike the previous cartoon villains. I had hope this show was improving after last week's episode but this episode was a little disappointing 2.5/5 It's not like Schere's backstory made the most compelling character ever! |

| And just a quick thing: Manga readers shouldn't give such big hints to anime-only watchers. Seriously, just let people predict and have fun. Don't just reveal that that some of their predictions are wrong because part of the fun is predicting things. Unless someone states that they want a hint or something, just let them be and just keep the hints to yourselves. I love hearing all the predictions on Seryu, I thought very similar things when I first read that chapter. |

I don't think much will change. Go read the manga if you haven't. I find it much more appealing then the show is. Also, I'm probably one of the few, but I never really cared for Esdese whatsoever. |

What the hell are you talking about? I was just saying that manga readers need to stop giving such a big hints. I didn't say anything about Sheele. |

Also I hear that this is a faithful adaptation for the most part, and apparently only the art is better in the manga so I'm not really sure I'd want to read it. Her entrance was kinda meh. Dunno how it will go from here though. |

| This was a good episode. Finally Esdeath has appeared. And the psycho Seryuu was also shown she seriously scared me in the manga. Some bonding time. |

You're right, for the most part, the adaption is faithful, but the gag comedy is a bit overwhelming compared to the manga, which I'm sure you heard. In the manga it was more subtle and not as overbearing as it is in the show. That's what really gets me. I didn't like the scene transitioning for this episode either. Kind of made it harder to keep up with everything too. Was kind of all over the place. I simply liked the Manga a lot better. |

Its like I don't even have to watch the show, I can just read the spoilers from the manga readers each week! Just an FYI to Manga readers, confirming or denying speculation is a spoiler as well. |

7thVoid said: Does anybody else feel the faces they make sometimes are over the top? It throws me off sometimes. Yup. I do. It's apart of the "over-playfulness" for me with their typical anime expressions. Definitely kills any darkness it tries to sustain. |

No not the transitioning that I felt was off, but the way they were like "oh there's this super guardian guy in the north" then "but there's also this woman who is strong." Well, the original source is usually much better than the adaptation. |

The anime has adapted the manga word by word, scene by scene. It is exactly the same for the most part. Maybe reading panel to panel suits you better, but this is what AgK is. The anime is not different from the manga at all. Stop trying to make the manga sound different when it's EXACTLY the same. |

Definitely agree with you on that, but I believe that's how it went in the manga too. |

T3hSource said: BullSmit said: What over the top faces? They're timid compared to the manga.Yup. I do. And since I mentioned manga: AHOY! A show with such faces being animated is a little different than a panel in a manga tbh. Not to mention when the faces do pop up they tend not to fit (how do I say this) the character or maybe the overall mood. It is just my opinion so try not to beat me up for it. They just don't seem to fit for me. |

HanaKana is really great as Seryu, some bonding and backstory with Schele,not too melodramatic, and not too forced. ESDEATHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! The woman is here! Don't really know what to think about her VA though. Dat foreshadowing!!! The moment is coming! The plot thickens! Please don't ruin my 2nd favorite manga White Fox. |

| Nice episode. I'm kinda annoyed that Tatsumi still clings to those ftiends he lost anyway. Was that imperial weapon a dog DAFAQ I bet it will cause trouble. That general was freaking sadist. Looks like the emepror brat said sth good for them without the minister pulling the strings. |

| Nice development. Sheele's past was nice to know. Justice girl will get herself wrapped up in a mess. Looks like next episode will be very interesting. |
 |
| Not much happened this episode but we can't have every single one be action packed I guess? Good setup especially at the end with Seryuu, the Imperial Arms officer, and the preview for next week looks epic. Mo' please. |
 |
| Esdeath! Finally! First impression on Seryuu will be destroyed soon. Next episode would probably devastating :( |
 |
| I came in here expecting to see exploded testes/ovaries all over the place because of... well, you know who I mean, even though she only had like 10 seconds of screentime. And ... yea, that's pretty much what happened. |
| Hmmm okay episode but felt quite boring. That girl's (I don't remember names easily I don't know how you all know like every character's names in these forums even small side characters) back story was interesting but other than that not really much to enjoy. It's definitely not one of the best of this season but I guess it has that score because manga readers are just happy it's being adapted well. |
bladeangel said: I guess the episode did introduce some interesting characters..but it was still a shit episode. Maybe the fact that I waited a whole week aggravated my judgement on it. Hopefully this is all building up to something good, but at this point I have no expectations left. Also, is it just me or are all these female character interactions with Tatsumi reminiscent of fucking Sword Arts Online? Like fuck, it feels like a bunch of forced pointless interactions + that Seryu imperial police chick looks so much like the SAO chick. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO If adaption serves well next episode should be alright if memory serves right. Don't get your hopes up too much cos I forgot. Also that background felt natural compared to sinon's one in SAO 2 ------------- OMFG EDESE MY SADISTIC WAIFU <3.. Urgh I love sadistic people, so interesting. Anyway a decent episode.. Art still bugging me though. Worse compared to manga. Still Edese had screen time so I'm happy :)... So fucking happy. |

Forced interactions? simialr to SAO? Could please elaborate on that thought? Mikatarukito said: I reread the chapter(s) that it will be adapting and shit gets fucking real next episode. Seriously, prepare your mind. Also why do people not like the art? I think it does a great job of capturing the tone and feel of the manga. I think the art in this looks beautiful, but this isn't the first time I've heard people complain about the art. Maybe it's just hit or miss with some people. |

| many feelings in this episode, Tatsumi still stuck in the past and Scheele was nearest him, but a few enemies have been presented in this episode, I hope the meeting of Tatsumi with Esdeath, soon will begin to race to see who dies and who survives in the story, I'm really enjoying of the adaptation .. |
  |
| Esdeath, Seryuu and Koro ^^ Next will be intense. |
