Well this is more hope for this season for sure. My favorite of the first episodes i watched so far and has a lot of potential.

Seems to be pretty similar to nanatsu no taizai, which isn't a bad thing.

Great animation and artstyle, really nice music. I like the characters and the outlooks on the story.

Looking forward to watching this one.

God damn, this blew my expectations out of the water! I love historical settings like this, world building is very rich as of right now.

Adlet and Nashetania are awesome, very excited to see the rest of the Braves.

Great start, I hope the series stays this awesome cause this has been one of my favorite first episodes so far.

Oh my goodness, that artwork is beautiful. Really enjoyed the first episode. I definitely think that this'll be one of the best anime season's we've seen in a while.

Twelve episodes and from a new studio (second full length anime series). It will be rushed and will have an anime original average ending. You won't read this the last time here.

eh seems good
i still wonder why does that society really really really really really really really really really really really hate adlet's fighting style of pragmatism and creativity?

(okay maybe the pragmatism part is the explaining factor but still he's too normal)

Other than that i'll give it an A rank

Then I'll have the pleasure to inform you that this isn't rushed at all. And according to the peoples who saw the second episode at the preview in tokyo, this will continue like that. At this pace, we should get around 2 volumes of 300 pages adapted in 12 episodes. Which is a fairly good pacing. Even if they started accelerating a bit after the 2nd episode, they still won't make it for more than 3 volume. Which is still a better ratio than most ln adaptation nowadays.

And this isn't the last time you'll hear this on that board. x)

I have the same suspicion.

I wanna ask. Are all the 6 heroes female? Well, because of the "flower" thing?

Come on now. I didn't think it was even useful to answer to that but... He is just guessing. He has 1 chance in 7 to be right, 6 on 7 to be wrong. And guessing out of nowhere with only 2 of the 7 characters presented is completely stupid. You should know that ^^".
You will see a lot of people guessing from episode 3 onward. And all of them will just do that : guessing. None of them will back it up by aything more than "XX is suspicious because (s)he did that". Well duh. They're all suspicious, so have fun guessing :p.
But the real mystery is here, and well done, and the answer of the mystery can be found before it's announced. Simply, I seriously doubt that a single person will find out, except if they really screw up in the anime. Never saw a single person finding out the answer among the LN readers x).

Somehow Rokka no Yuusha reminded me a lot Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works].

Goddess of Fate chooses six heroes, main character has red hair and yellow eyes, was at the brink of death when his teacher found him and he learned all his fighting moves from him, "Saber, Archer, Caster, Rider, Assassin, Lancer", the sign that they've been chosen looks like a Command Seal, "Unlimited Blade Works", ...

Not saying it's a copy or anything, but these are some nice similarities. Still a somewhat fun show, I guess. The heavy exposition of dozen of names and countries felt really overwhelming and unnecessary, though. The visual quality was also lacking a lot at points.

Let's see how this turns out. The first episode was alright.

3/5.

Lovely setting but that's about it so far. The lore behind the demon king is kinda plain, but i guess there's an interesting twist because heroes are being killed.

This was an excellent start. I very much enjoyed the setting, which although cliche, seems quite expansive. I also liked the main character and his fighting style. The scene where he got the crest and was acting like it was no big deal but in reality was very happy about it made me smile.
No doubt it was the best first episode of the season. If it maintains this quality AOTS of the season right here for me. 5/5

Btw, how long was he stuck in prison? Seemed like he remained there for at least a couple of months...
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

That was marvelous... *__* This anime has such a unique lore but it was handled beautifully with a good storytelling, fantastic visuals, and appealing colors. Also, I'm curious on how long was he stuck in prison before he received the seal. I like the OST too especially the animation when Adelt fought those two warriors single-handedly.

I'm loving this series already. In fact, it's gonna be insta-faved! x)

He was locked for months. They left out the part from the novel where he used that dagger to shave and the corner of the cell to take dumps. Speculating ofc.

I liked this episode, I can see a lot of potential in this anime.

I won't let the animation blind me (It's really great animation though), because this is just one of those shonen anime with historical elements that seem to be more common now.

I like the MC, he's pretty cocky but not annoyingly cocky that would make him intolerable. I am happy he got chosen to be one of the "Braves"

I can see that the guards watched too much 300 because of all the pits.

I bet either Adlett or Nashetania (sp?) is the Demon King's reincarnation since there are 7 of them (and the murderer looking guy is too obvious).

The opening was pretty good. I am really impressed by the character designs and at the pace they're taking. This doesn't seem rushed at all, but that just makes me more disappointed that this will be only 12 episodes long. If I had to guess how much they'll adapt I'd say perhaps two volumes altogether, which is good but it also means that the best arc might not make it to this season.

I'm looking forward to the action scenes and the introduction of the rest heroes

The pyramids, adobes, and backgrounds look like ancient South America; but the guard's armor, and other characters look Roman, or something else from that area and time. So what exactly is the setting based off of here?

Kind of wished they began with Adlet being blamed as the 7th like in the LN, but it was still really great!!! I'm so glad the adaptation didn't disappoint and I hope it keeps up along the way.

Also GDI Nashetania is too cute.

Too bad for you 'cause he's gonna be like that for the rest of the series. But there's s a reason why he's like that so have patience.

Also, I think Adelt is going to make a fine MC. And Nashetania, well, she has bunny ears, need I say more? Looking forward to the other braves and what's in store.

Hopefully it keeps up. Now to just avoid the forums so people don't spoil everything since the LNs are already 5 deep.

Are the bunny ears decoration or something? If not, how the hell did she hide them while pretending to be a maid? And if it is, considering this has an Aztec-ish setting, are those bunny ears dismembered from a real bunny? Lol.

Hidden gem of the season maybe? Every second was entertaining, and I hope it stays like this for the rest of the episodes.

When it comes down to it, the only real criteria of a show is: does it get you to watch the next episode.

This show had things to entice a viewer, it also had things to make the viewer cynical. But it had nothing, at least in my mind, to suggest that I shouldn't watch the next episode.

So in this regard, successful animation.

I was really surprised that they've already mentioned Heroes from the past, but otherwise I really can't complain. The change of the setting doesn't bother me and Adlet and Nashetania's personalities were captured perfectly so let's see in what way the rest of the story will unfold.

What I'm more surprised (and enjoyed) is that they modeled the princess homeland after the south/central american empires. You don't really see that culture being used often in anything so it was cool to see it.

Also it was a bit interesting (and I suppose foreshadowing) that at least one of the saints always dies in the battle. Even in the first one (although they don't out right say it) if you follow the picture you can see the fire woman is dead when they defeat the demon.
