So, Tyuule wants to make the Empire and SDG get into a real war?

I guess she has a very strong desire to destroy the Empire by manipulating the stupid prince (or the prospective emperor). It seems she's trying to interfere them making a peace pact. She even plans to kill Noriko in the base of SDF to cause the war to escalate.




You really can't blame her thinking once you know more about her. I'm not sure if they'll give us more of her background in the Anime. You'd probably want to read the manga.

But she has lost any sense of compassion. She has become the thing she hates most, an unfeeling lunatic, just like the Prince.

To us Tyuule would be hated cause she kills an innocent civilian member of Japan/JSDF who is regarded as the sympathetic protagonist organization in the story.

But to Tyuule, it's just another powerful organization that can rule over and wipe out it's foes. Why wouldn't she want to manipulate it so JSDF destroys the Empire that imprisoned her?

Itami playing father was a bit annoying imo, but I'm glad things are starting to pick up. And finally Rory is getting involved in things and getting screen time.

I really like Tyuule's voice for some reason. I also like how they fitted this part of the story into 1 episode.

Terrific episode. I'm glad someone finally spilled the beans about her father. It needed to be said, regardless of the consequences. It's nice to see Tuka get the spotlight and get some progression. She's been in the background for a while.

Nothing like playing father while sleeping with your naked daughter. Way to be Itami!

Finally we got to see just a little Rory action near the end there. I think it's high time for her and Itami to be together. It's the right thing to do.

5 people against one dragon should make for one incredible battle.

That was really constructive, thank you for your misguided comment, it added nothing and made me think you didn't watch a single episode. You sound like hater and you probably been banned a few times judging by your intellect, you are around 14 yrs old and living with your grandparents because your parents could not understand how raised a spoiled ungrateful child like yourself. You probably hate yourself, right? You'll grow up and learn to appreciate life one day, God only knows.

This was a pretty interesting episode with a focus of Tuka and her PTSD with her father. This episode was mainly focused on Itami acting as Tuka's dad which was interesting to say the least and also we see more of Yao with her getting desperate and being the one to instigate everything so Itami goes to kill the dragon and also seeing the bunny girl is actually manipulating the prince which is pretty crazy to learn. I can't wait to see the next episode now that we are back on track with the main focus being this dragon and can't wait to see how it goes with the 5 of them.

Here is my full review on the episode:

Definitely love the anime's adaptation over the manga's depiction. I found the manga extremely boring and annoying during the chapters that showed Itami as the Elf's father... But when the anime does it... at least the characters are cute and the execution was a lot smoother. I completely lost track of time until the end of the episode.

I remember having to force myself to read the manga >.>

It always makes you wonder when it comes to MAL and A-1 Pictures shows doesn't it? Feels like the average score of any given show they do is inflated by as many as 1-2 stars over what I would feel like giving it.

Then why bother, put the score up and move on and not berate the show with obscenities like a teenager with no common sense and just judging your profile, that was your alter ego and different SN? Am I right?

Seriously, what is with your studio fetish? Kyoto Animation aside, it really doesn't matter for that vast majority of series. I have said this several times before, but it bears repeating: you can be an interesting critic of shows, however your obsessions contaminate any point you are trying to make.

But then again, if you could understand this honest criticism you would have recognized this on your own.

Actually, the reason this was ranked so high is because the manga readers are happy that A-1 efficiently moved through several character/plot developments so efficiently. Being a reader myself, I am glad that they condensed everything to one episode.

MC still doesn't want to fight even he knows yao and tuka needs his help, playing fool as tuka's father, and he think hiding the truth is better than hurt someone else, even he/she is suffering.

what else if not consider as LAME MALE LEAD?
Itami is LAME, fact, not an opinion.

And I see nothing wrong with tyrulle's vision, she is way stronger than anyone in this anime. She is willing to become prince's sex slave to get her revenge, and her will is very strong, since too many whiny, weak character in this anime, and doesn't want to fight even have power, READ my 1st phrase.

Tyrulle > Itami.

Manga readers


loved the episode, was mostly set-up for future things to come but it was expected (it also shortened the whole tuka/itami affair nicely, it was quite a drag in the manga) and also, even though i love the first season, im just in awe at how much they upped their game, the animations and drawings are sharper (or it might be just me) and the amount of info they're condensing into these episodes without cluttering it is just impressive

"How does it feel to have a daughter older than you?" haha, good thing she acts her age... as a teenage elf.

I wouldn't mind having a cute elf daughter myself.

also did someone here actually called Itami lame? he is more interesting to watch than 95% of other anime protagonist, the man actually have a unique personality. go watch anime with the overused high school badass/emo/cold or hot blooded kids protagonist if you can't appreciate older than 17-years characters .

Yao is an asshole, and I knew Tyruule had crazy ulterior motives for tolerating the abuse.

To me, it was just too awkward/corny watching Itami pretend to be Tuka's father, lying to her only creates more room for disaster.

Next episode has some thrills in store though, can't wait for that Fire Dragon.

Wonder what kind of revenge motive is driving Tyuule to instigate war between Japan and the Empire.

It's really sad to see Tuka in this state, Her drastic denial has climaxed in her mentally replacing Itami's image with her father's.

Though I loved that date like thing between Itami and Tuka, She seems really cheerful in her denial state.

That Rory bite, Nice :P

Finally the promised Dragon, Can't wait for this :D.

I understand what you pointed out. Tyuule and her tribe are one of the victims by the empire and that stupid prince has been torturing her for years. Seeing from her view point, the empire is much more evil and loathsome yet is also too strong to deal with. Now, here came the SDF, which can easily destroy the empire. It is natural for her to believe she must make use of the golden opportunity of a lifetime to revenge the empire... She is insane but I guess I can understand how she felt when she knew of the SDF.

Good episode it just annoys me how they are portraying her PTSD in this episode. Its more like a psychosis more than anything. You don't become delusional and see a person as someone else with PTSD, that just doesn't happen (source: I am mental health counselor).

Other than that we are finally going to see them fight the dragon again. This new elf is kind of annoying to me. I remember not liking her much in the manga either. Im curious to see where it goes from here, since this was my stopping point in the manga. 4/5

Just when I thought they were finally addressing Tuka's problems, Itami decides it's a good idea to pretend to be her father? Why? Lying to her like this is only going to make things worse when she learns the truth about her father. The disappointment of that really brought the rest of the episode down for me, even if the series is clearly working on some interesting things.

No, Kaioshin is Kaioshin, he's been around MAL for a long time, though he had scaled back recently (he had some issues, so it is nice to see that they resolved themselves).

On shows he likes he is normal, and can be a pretty good critic. He is just obsessed with studios he thinks cater to the LCD and hates the gushing fanboy type because he thinks that both are crowding out better animation from being made. If you want to see an example of him being positive, Ping Pong the Animation is a good thread. He loved that show.

Normally this would make him a poser type or a "knocker" type (i.e. someone who goes into popular shows because they enjoy getting all the fans pissed), but the difference is that he doesn't like something just because it isn't mainstream (as a poser would), and his knocking is due to his obsession with studios not because he just wants to criticize something popular.

I doubt he would feel the need to create other IDs. He had no problem posting 20-30 times on a thread. And because he is obsessed with studios, even if he tried, he would end up giving himself away too easily because he HAS to bring it up.

You know you had the choice to just move on and not berate me etiher. What's worse attacking someone personally that viciously because they have a different opinion, or just venting after what I thought was a terrible episode? Negative comments are just as valid as positive ones in a discussion thread. It's a discussion, not a circle-jerk.

You can apply your entire reply to yourself, berating everyone that have a different opinion and to top it off assume that multiple people that don't like an episode are all the same person, how paranoid are you "Sherlock"? LOL.
