| I enjoyed Arslan a lot and I'm looking forwards for the second season And I was pleased to see a new side to Etoile as well, I want too see more of her |

Wintovisky said: It could also have been a show about Hermes. If the way he acts was a little bit more likeable, a show about him would probably be more enjoyable, I think. Definitely agree. I found Hermes more compelling and with an antagonist, it's always good when you can easily see things from their perspective. Gieve was by far my favorite of Arslan's group. Maybe it's because of watching Kingdom, but I was hoping for a little more depth in the bigger battles. This was a fun show, if maybe a little predictable at times. I'm looking forward to S2. 7/10 |
| Finally a conclusion to it. The soundtrack was nice when that blond girl walked alongside the dead corpses. Hermes is sill 'on the loose' and it's to be expected that he'll reappear for sure. |
 |
| Most of the time, the battles were ridiculous. There's fantasy magic involved making it even more unrealistic. Many asspulls. Many plot convenience. And did I already say magic? BUT I was very very much entertained. I love how Arslan grows into the great leader that he's bound to be. I like how the romance, no matter how I find it annoying at times, was still controlled to a level. And I'm excited for season 2! 8 |
 |
| Bad animation, i didn't liked arslan, too many ass-pull and plot armor moments, still enjoy some battle so i'll give it a 5/10 |
| Estelle will be good queen |
 |
| Entertained, all I can say. |

I rated k-on 9 and lucky star 10. So, What's the problem? I didn't ask your opinion. I wasted my time on this and i have right to give any score that I see fit based on my experience. So, next time how about STFU when others gave bad score to your fav anime. |
IZUMI64 said: Who gives a shit what I think? Oh, you do, obviously. It's just funny how you claim a story to be "retard" levels considering SAO's high score. I don't have to STFU and your opinion is trash. Just get over it.Wicked_Edward said: Sword Art Online - 8 lmao I'm the one who watched. I rated k-on 9 and lucky star 10. So, What's the problem?

| I didn't like this for a final episode. So far the series is good overall but has a few things that bugged me like characters surviving dire situations with no explanations/plot armor and generic religious extremism. Shame they had to end "S1" in the middle of a war rather than being 33 episodes long and getting a proper end. Time to continue the story and check out the last 8 episodes. |
 |
| I really really liked that anime. And please, tell me that the second season contains actual romance between Etoile and Arslan. It probably doesn't, though... I mean, c'mon - There's one thing I don't understand with most action anime. Why *hint* towards romance but not follow through with it? I don't believe that people would not welcome it. Just look at the Anime Recommendations sub-forum, every single page has at least 1-2 requests for an Action+Romance anime. |

| This series, has lacked only with the technical part with respect to the drawings and the CG, overflight on animations; but as for the rest, it was an anime really nice and interesting to watch. In this episode, I very much appreciated the dialogue, in line with what I expected from history. Another point that I liked, only the soundtrack and scenes. After this season, I sling immediately on the sequel. For now, my vote is 7.5/10 |
 |
| This doesn't seem like a complete run. Hermes is still out there. Though things look optimistic for Arslan. I keep drawing comparisons to the 1991 Arslan OVAs. Which were also incomplete at six episodes. The timelines are a bit different, but much of the factual history of the story remains the same. Much is unresolved, so it portends a second season. The depth of the story was pretty good, but the character designs... ugh. Compared to the originals. Elam is the only one that didn't come out looking too cartoonish. Estelle maybe didn't fare all that badly.. but Arslan, Hermes and Dareyoon.... pathetic shadows of their original incarnations. I had a tough time getting past that. |
| Finally the long awaited face to face talk between Arslan and Etoile, I think she will come around eventually. I shall now commence the shipping |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| The fated battle. Etoile vs Arslan. Arslan got rekt'd. lol I had to laugh at the amount of times Etoile's face turned red once her gender is revealed to everyone. Etoile is very pretty. I'd hit it. Got our last Farangis goodness this episode. Gieve! I finally finished this. I really lost interest in watching at episode 7. Had to force myself to watch it, but it actually got good again. Onward to the OVA. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| A good finale. Not much action but it was still satisfying to watch. Nice to see Gieve at the end. Arslan x Estelle. That ship is sailing. An easy 8/10 for this show. |
 |
| It ended and I still haven't seen a sample of the painting of our famous court painter XD |
| The whole budget went into the last 3 episodes, didn't it? Iiked this show so far, looking forward to binge S2 later. |
| Amazing series , one of the best series |
| BRAWLERS |
| Etoile is full tsundere now. THis series was ok i guess, but I know better ones. 6/10. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| I'm not quite sure why this series received such a high score. Maybe it's just a little too happy-go-lucky, for me. Other than nameless soldiers and a few random characters who got 15 minutes of screentime, no one really dies or is severely injured, so it's hard to really feel "surprised" by any of the episodes. Overall, I found myself skipping through some scenes because of how monotonous they were. 6/10. |

| 6/10 It started out nicely, but then they gave Etoile more screen time. But seriously, the CGI was terrible and towards the end, the show felt like it was dragging on at that point. It was good though and while I will watch season 2, I'm not that excited for it. |
･ﾟ☆✧you were like a glass and I always melted in you  |
| ETOILE IS TOO CUTE AAGGGHH |
| An admin's dickhead Soul banned me from MAL t('v't) |
| This show is pretty good it got me hooked, no op mc that can wipe out whole army with magic, just a naive prince that keep developing each ep for better. It also offer anything that Akatsuki no Yona refuse to offer: reclaiming a throne. The show doesn't need uneccessary fan-service like bath scene because Farangis herself is already a walking fan-service. Easily 9/10. |

| An episode to settle things down after the conclusive(at least for this part of the series)confrontation in the previous episode.Lots of screen time for Etoile/Estelle,which i don't mind but there were a lot of other characters to look into besides her.I like the way they used a newborn as a symbol to show Estelle's change of heart.The idea was that after so many preventable deaths innocence of a newborn symbolises a relatively peaceful future where nurturing environment and growth is attainable. As for the show itself,it was mediocre at best with its high and low points scattered throughout its course.Still the setting was interesting enough and some characters deserved heightened attention. |
