Well this sudden ending definitely took me by surprise. I didn't notice the change in the episode count until a few days ago, so I never took the time to think about what score I wanted to give this (since I usually wait until the last couple of episodes).

An ok buildup episode for what's to come in January. It was funny seeing Pina's BL obsession again. And I find it funny how Yao is obviously speaking Japanese, but they have to make it seem like she's speaking a different language. But you can only do so much with that, so I'm not gonna hold that against the producers or anything. I guess I'll give this a 6.5/10.

Well this was quite an entertaining anime, though not that good tbh. Shame it ended quite abruptly, but I hope their decision for a split cour will turn out for the better.

Also lack of Rory in the last episode made me sad :(

WHY YOU GOTTA MAKE ME WAIT LIKE THIS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!?!?!?!

Awesome anime but I can't believe we gotta wait 4 more months just for the second half of the first season

You're most likely wrong.
Its been said it to be split cour, not "the first season is split cour".
The former means it is aired in two non-continous seasons, while the latter would've
meant it had more than one season, where the first is split cour (2 x12 + X x12).

Obviously I would've wanted the latter, but..

Whatever with this series. I feel like it could have been much better if the fighting have more purpose and not one-sided every time. Fan service is lame and Rory gets too much attention compared to that elf who is my best girl. The female nobles are dumb. They get the ranks not because of merit, but because they were born with silver spoon in their mouth.

In fact, everyone in the fantasy world apart from the trio following Itami is dumb as shit, from the bandits to the wizard to everyone who thinks repeatedly assaulting an enemy that have beaten them multiple times is a good idea.

The things I like are production value (particularly Ride of the Valkyrie soundtrack) and the concept of modern technology taking on the fantasy world. Itami is a very interesting character also, going from otaku to badass soldaten.

I wish more people actually died in this anime, allied personnel as well as enemy and not just enemy all the way. This is a military anime, after all.

6/10 so far but I guess they have not gotten to the meat of the story yet. For example, Smaug is still at large. The Empire is still not giving up despite losing so much. I will be back for the next cour.

But honestly, that is a poor way to force fans wait for 3 months. Should have gotten a cliffhanger or something more conclusive than this middle of everything.

It seems they moved the focus away from the (apparently) most important reason why she was chosen.
From the manga:
Yao: "Gladly! But why would you ask this of a woman like me? Thodolm is stronger than I am."
"It is -- because you're a woman."
"Do you understand what I mean? Are you prepared?"
Yao: Of course
"Really? Are you sure"?
"They might be really ugly."
Yao(?): "Um..isn't it fine if I'm the messenger?"
Yao: "If the flame dragon can be slain through the sacrifice of my body, then so be it."

In other words, same as when Pina wanted to calm Itami & co's assumed anger when they broke the treaty.

5/10. Okay series with a whole bunch of really dumb elements. Could've been a drama about clash of cultures instead of girls fawning over an otaku self insert protagonist who happens to be in the military.

Promising start, first 3 episodes very really good honestly, but after that it devolved into what LN adaptations usually devolve to - directionless mediocrity that focuses more on grills and fanservice. How disappointing.

So can the dark elf understand Jap or not? During Lelei's interpretation, sometimes she doesn't seem to understand what they are saying (e.g. being unable to fight the fire dragon), but sometimes it just seems that she understands (e.g. that they would be crossing the border with a large army and declaring war).

Looking forward for the second cour.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

They skip the translation parts, and sometimes use "..he/she said".
You can assume Lelei continously translated throughout, and other parts may not
even require that.
Approval, denial, and so on can often be read by bodylanguage alone.

The parts where she didn't seem to understand (unable to fight the flame dragon etc) is
most likely more about disbelief than understanding or not.

Weird place to end the first cour, but in a way it's good since it'll probably pick up with Yao asking Itami for help.

Guess I'll take this break as a chance to start the LN and manga.

Not sure if I wanted to embark on the LN since their manga seems to be taking a long time for a chapter release. This season is "disastrous"! First time adding 4 LN to my reading list and already caught up to 3 of them..
Rory only made a brief appearance this time and got ignored :/
Overall this episode have a good build up for what will happen in the near future, especially the part when the Princess spoke about Itami accomplishment.

Wisest of the one's that were left after the fire dragon attacked though.

In this case it was more that a man doesn't have the "right equipment" for "persuasive"
purposes..especially in this case as military (men in green) in general are mostly males.

The art this ep was much better than usual :O

It's cool how science makes Magic even stronger in this world. Loved the animation on Lelei's magic attack.

Poor Yao, has no idea the guy she shitted on last time was this Itami everyone's talking about lol

Quite the foreshadowing of disaster for the Empire at the end there ^^

This becoming a split cour sure came by surprise and this ep had too little Rory to add :/ Looking forward to S2.

Looking forward to the next season. I totally disagree with the split but oh well.
Itami made me laugh, the girls were beautiful and Pina Co Lada is great. 8/10 I say. (it'd have been 9 or even 10 without the split and fanservice/girls focus).

If Evangelion were Rokka no Yuusha the seventh would be Shinji.

Too bad it was split, but I will be looking forward to the second season. I won't have a chance to watch it before it finishes anyway, so I am satisfied... to some degree. As for this season, I would say that this is but a third fulfilling anime I have seen this year. I must say, this year is very weak with good anime. Everything else is just... average at best. Anyway, it was very enjoyable. Looking forward to next year.

That was kind of an odd way to end a series, but different as well. Felt more like an epilogue.

I wonder if they could have made the episode a little more exciting since it would have got more people hyped for the second season... it was the weakest episode so far imo.. why didn't they make it a 24 episode season tbw?

Nevertheless, I respect the fact that they did this episode like that to stay true to the manga, and this "weak cliffhanger" doesn't really matter to the overall final quality of the show, it's only anoying to weekly watchers like us.

Didn't really feel like much of an ending but did leave me happy enough for the next bit in January.

Was definitely one of the weaker episodes but I'm certainly looking forwards to it coming back now.

At least we managed to squeeze some Kuribayashi into it right at the end.

A rather abrupt end for the anime. I didn't realize this was going to be split into two seasons until today.

I've enjoyed it thus far, though. Some of the harem and fanservice elements are a bit of a turnoff, but I like it other than that.

As a side note, it is kind of nice to have a protagonist around my age for once. It's kind of hard to relate to the thought process of a 15 year old when you're 30ish. I think that's probably my favorite thing about the anime, as bizarre as that sounds.
