| Am I the only one here who hate Ranta? |
| I liked this ep. It was much slower paced. However, the grieving process that they all experienced was rushed and dragged out in the wrong way. It was dragged out between the three guys and rushed with the girls. Still, it was a decent episode that gave you the idea of what was going on. Also, I was screaming KISS HER ALREADY!!! Like 300 times. Well, at one point the f-bomb dropped or obvious reason. . . . . . SHE WANTS THE D!!!!!!!! |
  |
| Dem ... they surely can't live without Manato. This is showing that they're nothing without The Leader, The Strategist Manato. I just hope that Haruhiko can covers Manato's role as the Leader Party, they're depending on him too much. And Renji looks OP af, even his party looks strong. Anyway, a solid 5/5 Episode. |
| This is the show of what happens when you get drag into a game world but you suck at it. |
 |
| ...I'm still recovering after what happen in ERASED and then I remembered that Manato was dead FU**! ...Haruhiro will be a good leader, but they still got a long way to go 12 episode is not enough! ...realize that there's was no OP, but still feel's like really short episode |
| I'm already laughing at people who said this was gonna be another SAO rip off. This is much, MUCH better. This episode was good, really good. The development the characters got and the introducing of a new character made it even better. |

_Hikari-Kun_ said: Agreed, however Ranta is my favorite character. This show is indeed turning out to be overhyped. This show is overhyped ? |

| Mary joined, I like her xD. Manato was actually a godsend for the party, He did so much and was able to bring out the best in everyone. I mean the party is at a point where they were asking a Priest to tank :P, Manato even did that even though he was a priest. But I guess now they'll finally be able to work like a real party with each person playing their appropriate role. Yume is still best girl unless Mary proves better XD Yume x Haru :D |

| What a pointless episode. Even the sky cried for Manato. Dem feelz. Lelouch0202 said: Manato was actually a godsend for the party, He did so much and was able to bring out the best in everyone. If this episode did anything it was to show the exact opposite. We saw other groups who "started at the same time" are being wildly more successful, and we have Mary who kept pointing out how stupid Manato's tactics were. Losing Manato was probably the best thing to happen to the group in the whole show. |

Losing Manato was probably the best thing to happen to the group in the whole show. You're definitely right when you say that Manato's death is probably one of the best things that could have happened to help the team move on and actually learn. Though when they did start out, Everyone in the group were just a bunch of amateurs and that's probably why none of the other groups picked them. I mean look at them, They pretty much expected a priest to tank. If it weren't for Manato keeping them together with his tactics(Which they still struggled at), Everyone in the party may have died much earlier. |
|
| The part when Haruhiro says that Manato was like a tanker tho... Mary was right, healers can't take the front line. Manato kinda carried the party, I knew the others would be devastated. I loved Yume on this episode, she's so sweet! And Shihoru's misunterstanding was funny. |
| So much grieving... in the whole episode. Hopefully this means that we're done with that now, so the group can move forward, especially now when Mary has joined. |
kevkn said: Lots of here complaining Mary being a bitchy ass priest. Do you even play MMO games? when did you see priest doing frontline in party grinds. I usually play priest class in MMO games and I quite often get in the front lines. If it's just a regular grind I will fight along with everyone else, healing every now and then(I keep track on team mates hp and heal when its nearing 50%).I believe it is better to get the mob before the mob gets your teammate instead of doing nothing and only healing the teammate after the mob gets him. First choice makes the mob dead and doesn't require any healing if done properly. Second choice forces you to heal the teammate while dealing with the mob jumping around, still attacking. Sometimes I even act as main tank if the party really sucks (I can keep myself alive while team members finish the mobs, bizarre strategy but it works). I only stay back when: - I recognize my team is going to need a lot of healing and I have to focus solely on that, - I know I can't stand the mobs up front, - The team is really capable and mobs die fast without me fighting. My playstyle is quite risky and I often get in tough situations but I rarely die and I rarely let teammates die - I am flexible and I make my decisions fast. And I actually I seen a lot of "heal only" clers die by being suddenly attacked by a patrolling/hidden mob. If I am attacked like this I know how to deal with it (I evaluate the situation in a blink of eye and decide to kill it, keep myself alive till help comes or run for help). Some "heal only" clers seem unable to keep themselves alive without constant guard of another team member because they don't know what to do and just stand there like little princesses or do stupid things in panic. One of most interesting "strategies" I seen was "escape as far as you can hoping the mob will give up, having no idea where you are going and where your team mates are" - only to run straight into a group of mobs, getting in even bigger mess and killing everyone else by getting that mobs attention to the group. Practice makes perfect. If one never takes the chance to practice own skills in safe settings (normal grind is pretty save) he won't know own limits and won't be able to deal with the unexpected when situation calls for it. The more fights you survive the better you deal with tough situations in future. Of course given the circulates I would be more careful. In MMO in worst care scenario I will just respawn in the city. In the anime death is the end. But I still wouldn't stay away from easy fights. 6 people fighting is better than 5 people fighting-1 watching. Especially if the one watching is actually the most capable fighter that just happen to have healing skills as well. Manato wasn't a mere healer. He was a capable fighter equipped with healing skills. Jack of all trades. Seeing him as just a priest is belittling. He was a priest but he could fight better than any of his team members so keeping him away from fight wouldn't be right choice. He saved the team from many (potentially fatal) wounds using his staff, not healing powers. If he wasn't fighting he would just run out of mana very soon by healing too many serious wounds(he did anyway - but it would happen much earlier if he wasn't fighting). The team was really messy, especially at start. If they had a priest focusing solely on healing they would get first casualty much earlier because the priest wouldn't keep up with the damage. |

| Im in love with this anime! FEELS! |
  |
| Now i think they passed Manato's death. That Yume x Haru scene <3 Agreed. Yume best girl <3 Smudy said: Yume best girl. The first and the last scene were so powerful. Incredible stuff there. 10/10 |

Problem of the show is that it isn't an anime adaptation of this or that MMO and doesn't bother to explain why priest is supposed to act the certain way - it keeps reminding to us what world is real (fantasy) world where you die when you are killed, not some Mass Multiplayer Game. Protagonists of the show doesn't even know what MMO is! This brings us to the question why priests indeed does need to be dressed in silk - in MMO, it's game mechanic, yet basically you can still get an armoured healer in some other ones, capable of some combat even when solo. |
| Signature removed. It was too good for this cruel world. |
| Regardless of what everyone is saying about the series and it's slow pace I really, really like it. And I thought I was over Manato's death but Haru/Yume scene almost broke me again :( Next time it seems it's time for some bonding with Mary ^^ |
 |
| yeah I guess I ship 'em |
| follow me on tumblr @ http://x-hentai.tumblr.com/ |
| Even though I don't like "calm" characters like Mary, I liked Mary's attitude because she kinda represents how "healers" should be in a party. Not using spells/energy recklessly, staying in backline if healer isn't going tank. I hope she'll tame the rest of party soon, especially that red headed guy. |
| Also, I just realized that they are also realizing how much Manato was helping them out and how weak they really are (the man was damn priest/tank). Hence his last words of "I'm sorry". AKA I'm sorry I lied to you all and gave you all a false sense of hope. It's up to you to unfuck this.....my bad. Mary is pretty much showing them, the hard way, how bad their tactics are and how badly they still need to improve. As for the gold, that is a classic "We aren't a charity case". It's nothing more than egos and principles. You see that in actual movies too. |
|
| Ehhhh.. for there to be melodrama.. it came too early, can't feel anything for these characters I give no shits about. |
| Well in actual old school D&D, clerics are inherently the 2nd tankiest base class after fighter with 6 HP compared to the fighter's 8 and the thief and wizard's 4... Anyway that was a pretty good episode. I quite enjoy the pacing because most 1 cour shows try to cram as much in and that is more boring to me compared to a slow paced show as at least events feel like they have significance. Imagine if manato had died in episode 2 because they tried to cram 3 novels into 1 season. LN shows get better the more time you spend on each book as far as I can tell relative to how long you need to tell that section of the story. Rokka was really good and it was 1 LN's worth of content! |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
yuiyuigahama said: you could say that up until his death manato was haruhiros closest friend. their partys anchor and cherished ally "quite literally" just died "or did you really need to" dismiss that enormous plot point? pretty callous of you to treat manato like he was just some object. You do realize that Manato constitutes nothing but an "opening character", considering he died halfway through Vol. 1 of a whoknowshowlongit'llrun series, right? In fact, his death is objectively the most vital part of his existence in the long run as it is suppose to propel the remaining characters forward, giving them a renewed goal and energy. Unfortunately to me, he IS an object, a plot object for advancement of the story. 4 episodes of the same character doing the same things does not nearly constitute enough grounds for me to "like" someone. yuiyuigahama said: im 100% certain that the same amount of people would complain if they got over his death in one episode. like idk if you werent paying attention or something but its only been several (1-3) days since they cremated manato. if youve never experienced the death of someone close to you then this is a variation of what its like to mourn and grieve, amplified by their current plight because again if you havent noticed this either, haruhiro and his crew are completely lost. its so blatantly obvious that everyones scared out of their wits without manato i almost want to criticize the author for beating us over the head with it, but i cant because its actually important to portray sorrow. Pretty sure this is wrong. That's why there's multitudes of people complaining. You're not wrong about their attempts to "portray sorrow", but their piss poor appeal at our emotion is contingent upon the condition that we actually give a fuck about these characters. So far, they've done nothing to warrant our sympathy or admiration. Not to mention going at the snail pace that they are currently, spending an entire episode on MC crying over Manato and living in his shadow further exacerbates the already prevalent notion that this anime is slow and meaninglessly so. Character development and plot advancement aren't mutually exclusive, in fact most A tier anime find a way to synergistically utilize the two. yuiyuigahama said: you know, the human emotion...i mean following your logic everyones a "lil' bitch" because we all experience sadness. feeling sadness =/= lil' bitch. Wasting an entire episode to cry in the arms of an autistic girl in a scene that could have been wrapped up in 10 minutes = lil' bitch wasting time. You need to realize that this is a 1-cour series and we're practically halfway through the season already, with nothing to show for this anime except watching the cast kill 4 goblins, eat together 5 times, shop 3 times and Rantard eating 3 different kinds of foods. |
| If they can kill an orge or something at the end of the series I'll be happy. Fuck fast progression, slow progression is way more interesting. This show doesn't really have any plot and I think that's good. |
Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| This Anime feels like a good book. Somehow nothing important happens but i am still entertained. Watching how everyone of the party reacts different to the loss of a friend. It's very human and grounded. I can't understand how so many can be against it. They are going through the 5 steps of grief. I mean..what do you want? This Anime is not about the fighting and the "let's get overpowered!" Themes...that's what Sword Art Online is for. So far it's about human interaction and very basic struggles. Will we get enough to eat? What happens when a beloved dies? Do you read Lord of Flies and scream "WHERE IS THE FUCKING ACTION?!" I would take even 20 minutes dialogues in the pub for each for every single cheesy Mira fan service butt-shot in Dimension W. (jesus christ get your shits together..) |
| The guys in the group are being quite distant to Yume and Shihoru which is seen in their private drinking circle. Yeah let's forget all the bad times about Manato and move on. Haruhiro rejecting that gold coin from Renji was a class act from him, as he's not one to be pitied on but bitch Ranta says otherwise although he does have a fairly convincing argument regarding it's worth. The battle experience is what was the major factor for Minato's death, so good move there. Nice to see Mary a foreigner introduced. Was there only Japanese people in the beginning? I'm not sure but I doubt it makes a difference. Priests aren't always physically weak, as some game franchises can make them the deadliest unit at times. |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| Ranta's voice remembers me of Corkus from Berserk. I hate them both. |
 I should have realized that earlier. |
| so cringy. yume is a dime tho |
| its not even in the top 1000, the hell you talking about |

| Get over it already...people will die one way or another...btw is Haruhiro gay? Haha Well good to see Mary join the party. Yume is acting like a cunt now... |

lizebutnotrize said: Nexxkinn said: Lmao even in a supposedly emotional scene they still manage to sexualize/objectify the shit out of Yume. Also where the fuck is her supposedly flat chest?kind of ...okay episode? I don't know. This whole episode is mainly just proving how weak their team actually is, and their feeling about Manato's death. Nothing much to talk about this episode. Other than that, - Mary is 9/10. - Until this episode, I still don't know if I treat this show as SoL action or Drama... - surprise, surprise! no insert song ! (?)  dat sideboob... Well yes, that is what we men like, you got a problem with that girl? "Objectification" did you leak from tumblr? what's with the nonsensical concepts. |
| so they need to remove manato so that the number of girls and boys will be equal nice episode that yume's sideboob somewhat remove my boredom |
| internet is a cruel mistress |
| Personally, i loved this episode. Can someone who has read the LN tell me if Haruhiro and Yume are going to become a couple in the future? Make sure to put it into a spoiler tag tough. |
 |
| I'm seriously starting to think of Grimgar as a rare case where anime is better than a novel. It feels much more mature and refreshing than original. |
