Not a bad series. Second half could've been better, but it was fun nonetheless. 7/10

That was really beautiful! Amazing ending! I believe the birth of the baby symbolizes the coming of a new era where Lusitanians and Parsians can live together in peace. Hoping there will be an announcement for a second season soon but for now, getting hyped for Nanatsu no Taizai season 2 announcement!!!!!

Man I really liked this series. Hoping we get a second season soon. Anyone know if Arslan and Etoile fall in love or something in the future?

After seeing the mass grave shared by both sides, it was great seeing the birth of a child.

Got to thank the attendants for solving the misunderstanding already, and now, the whole gang is pretty much settled. I would be glad to see more of this, as it would only get better from here on.

Amazing and beautiful ending(i really need that soundtrack)

Arslan x Etoile! It has finally sailed but now it got stuck..

Good series. Could've been better if they had a higher budget.

Easily the best spring series for me.

Waiting for season 2. ( and 3 and 4.. )

P.S does anyone know the title of the OST that's being played whenever Arslan and Etoile talk? ( the one from episode 20 and 25 )

Could someone link me the translated light novel series?

Thanks!


It isn't a light novel, it's an actual novel and there are no official translations
And you shouldn't expect anyone to bother fan-translating a beefy japanese novel, learn japanese if you want to read it.
There are some spoilers from the novels floating around.

Ending could have been way better, but with all the broken links between Silvermask and his further intentions plus the open ending towards Arslan's path for the throne, it was decent. And Gieve just hanging out there at the end was somewhat random to me. Nevertheless, watching this was a seemly experience. 8/10

I really hope for S2. If I remember right first part of the novels ends with volume 7. And they adapted only 4,5-5 volumes here. So it's just enough for 1 more core.

Ah such a satisfying ending and what a nice anime it was :')

Really loved the OST and art
But most of all, it was the Arslan's character.

Arslan x Etoile <3 Loved their moments in the episode
Long live this ship ( *^*)9

Would love to have a second season of it ^_^

Also, I'm still bothered by the fact that Farangis wear no pantsu D:

WHY DID IT ENDED THERE?! I WANT MORE (>o<) THIS NEEDS A SECOND SEASON ASAP!

I love Estelle's interactions with Arslan. It's like a start of a new friendship. I also like how Elam taught Estelle the basics of bandaging. That was so cute! He is starting to trust her! AND OMG GIEVE! (>y<)

This anime really captures the feelings of war. When each episode airs, I find it very hard to keep in my excitement. I just can't express how awesome this anime was. It's like a roller coaster! Overall 10/10!

I mean, it's the same studio (A-1 pictures) animating both of the series.

Anyway...
I really liked this last episode. I give the series over all an 8/10. It was really good even though it had it issues.

It's good that the misunderstanding with the Barron was cleared up. It was really cute seeing Etoile getting embarrassed in the cell. Didn't expect Arslan to have a sense of humor when he joked about horns growing in when he gets older.

Maybe Etoile holding the baby sparks some motherly instinct in her to want children of her own one day, say with Arslan? That's what I hope anyway. Arslan x Etoile OTP <3

25 episodes isn't nearly enough to cover everything. A full 25-episode second season is needed! This feels like only the first half of a story arc.

Edit:
After looking at the Arslan Senki wiki, I think the whole horn thing may be a reference to the original design on the 1986 novels.

Season 2, please. This series was great, pretty solid storytelling.

At first, I thought reading the novel would be a good idea, but very little has been translated. However, I might actually read the manga since I really enjoyed this. But what I really want is a sequel.

I'm thinking that Arslan x Etoile ship is the best because Arslan=feminine boy and Etoile=masculine girl. It's perfection.

I liked this episode more than the previous one. Tsundere Etoile is cute, I hope that she becomes in good terms with Arslan, seeing that at least she understands that he didn't kill Barcacion. I loved Give cameo at the end.

The series was good, but it had some things that annoyed me greatly (Narsus ex machina, blatant plot armor...). I give it a 7/10. I hope that this will a second season

LOVEEEEE. 9/10. That OST. Those characters. This show had so much heart, even with the CG soldiers. The last few episodes had excellent direction. And the fight choreography. Farangis' every dialogue brought a smile to my face. SECOND SEASON WHEN

I'm so happy that Etoile found out the truth about Barcacion's death and that she and Arslan are slowly getting closer. I ship them so hard and I hope Arslan takes her as his wife in the future.


Exactly, I hope Arslan will marry Etoile, I think it's the perfect solution for starting to understand each others.

Small budgets don't bother me as long as the plot, pacing, strategy, and political intrigue are good. Arslan is one of the few purely war-based anime series out there. Little in the way of filler, flashy bullshit, childish romance and the like. Anything less than a 8/10 would be an injustice for an anime that dares to challenge the mainstream otaku pandering that 95% of anime can't help but engage in. I can't even recall a single ecchi moment or otaku meme, like holy shit.

Props to Arslan, it was an enjoyable ride from start to finish, and I wish more people could enjoy this type of series.

This last episode was great, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.
Arslan and Ettoille's moments were really good. She's starting to understand other cultures and maybe to respect them.

And Gieve showed up!!! *-*

I'm really hoping for a new season else, I'll just read the manga. :)

Etoile was kinda annoying in the beginning, but this episode endeared her a bit more to me. And Arslan is just an amazing leader by this point. I'm impressed with his character development.

Overall a solid series. I really hope there's a season 2.

I liked the ending, but the series overall was very average. Too bad, because I had a lot of expectations going into this and even now I feel like this series has potential, yet it never capitalised on it.
5/10
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...

As someone above posted, it isn't random. It was shown at the end of the episode.

On that note, I'm hyped for S2 of Nanatsu no Taizai!


Anyway, Arslan was a great show. Sucks about the production issues and the overuse of 3D CGI, but it was a really good show. I hope we get a 2nd season in the future, since the story is obviously not over.

A-1 Pictures has nothing to do with Arslan. It's animated by Linden Films.

The thing is that the new Nanatsu no Taizai series will air in the same timeslot. If I remember right, new Gundam will be in this slot for the next 2 seasons.

Keep hearing that open bag sound you normally hear in video games whenever they open a curtain door or pick someone up and that sort of thing, its so non-subtle that I notice it every time. Hoping for more Etoile X Arslan and a second season.

Honestly, it deserves a 7, because the start was boring as heck and throughout all the anime I was just waiting for Arslan to take back Ecbatana. But I found it an 8 for enjoyment because halfway through the season, this anime became one of the ones I looked forward to most these past two seasons. The last few episodes were great, Ep 24 the best, and his character has grown. I hope I can read the light novels or that there will be a season 2.
