I find it funny how Gieve was just playing around with Hermes and Xandeh whereas Daryun and Narsus combined has even a rough time fighting against Hermes(Silver Mask) alone~ XD

Wow at Andragoras.

Arslan is still great, and that's what makes the fact that we're only getting 8 episodes extremely disappointing. Then again, look at what they're doing to the fans of Nanatsu: only 4 episodes. At least we're not getting shafted as hard as they are...

Andragoras made this episode for me

As it seems to me now what the queen meant by you stole my child, that arslan is her child from his brother, after he killed his brother she refused to marry him and he threatened her using arslan. so she married him

the following episodes show reveal if its true or not

I wonder how Andragoras communicated with his men and setup a signal to move the take over into action.

The OP suggests cool stuff ahead - apparently Arlsan will see that his Dad's back and go "welp, I guess I'll just become pirate then".


Same.

But in any case, I loved how it began! And the end aklsdjlkj I need know what the Queen meant because the scene switched immediately to Arslan ;; I'm not holding any hope about any relationship between the two however because it's been emphasised that Arslan is in no way related to either the King or Queen. Oh and the OST that began at the point when Étoile looked up really struck me too. I kept replaying that part just to listen to it.

What a way to start off the season! I can't think of a better way this could have gone down. Gieve vs Hilmes was amazing, I was sitting on the edge of my seat. I can't wait for these next seven episodes - although I am upset that it's only gonna be an eight episode season.

Great first ep....but why is it just 8 eps??!! What's going on?? I'd understand if it was like an hour long or something, but it's just 24 minutes...they aren't going to be able to end it like that, and if they do, that's just too fast paced.

*sighs* I was so looking forward to this...but just 8 eps....this should be a crime!!!

i hope it will not disappoint like the last one, but i am hopeful so far.In the last season the was nothing legendary about arslan. wisdom was from Narsus and was protected by Daryun. I NEVER saw his importance.

I missed Arslan so much!!

Just when I was thinking that maybe Andragoras is faking being unable to do anything, he breaks the chains and takes back the city.

Gieve's part was fun as well.

So glad this show is back, even if there's only 8 episodes.

Just like the first season, I adored the world and was barely able to tolerate most of the characters.

Don't recall s1 being this amazing... actually forgot most what happened besides fishy Rajendra. Action choreography was great with Gieve vs emomask & Pars King turns godofwar gar level.
3d camera too overboard like berserk 2016, but does gives the sense of massive war. Ost & op pretty good.

Wow they jumped right back into things here, it's been a while since the first season so hopefully I'll be able to remember who everyone other than Arslan is before it finishes!

I'm pretty upset with the story that it just basically reset itself half a season, but at least they made up a good reason for it. While I dislike this lack of progress there were many great things in this episode, especially that sword fight.

Damn, here I am again. Completely awestruck by another first episode of Arslan Senki. Gieve was MVP this episode, that was hella intense. Andragoras though...daaaaayuummm. Not even out of chains for 5 minutes and he's sitting on his throne again like np bro.

War right off the bat. So why is this only 8 episodes btw? At first I thought because 8 episode was enough to end it but in the OP, in the ED, in the picture Arlsan and his gang are riding a boat? so there's more?

Well this sure took an unexpected twist. I wonder if the Queen is talking about another child or if she actually does care for Arslan.

The beginning is really an amazing thing, if the withdrawing party season, the rate of major events and more, took place at a relatively long time away, here more than further dilate have shortened greatly. There was a whirlwind of emotions, caused by multiple twists, which made me wince heart; I'm really satisfied with the result. Not to mention the quality of drawings and animations, much, much higher than those seen previously. always fascinating landscapes and evocative imagery. The opening and ending of the plot suggest a hike in maritime places, who knows! Speaking about the plot, I am happy that you have not turned out so obvious, but you are given a nice awakened.

I didn't expect Gieve would do so well against Hermes and his men, he was close but Bodin's knights ruined it.

Andragoras still has a lot of fighting spirit in him.

I'm guessing that Tahamenay isn't talking about Arslan, I wonder if her child has made any appearances in the anime.

Now Arslan has to fight Turan as well eh?

Good OP and ED as expected of Eir Aoi and Kalafina. OP reminding me of Bleach Ending 17.

All that Farangis goodness this episode, especially in the OP and ED. Dat pantsu shot.

Good battle between Gieve and Hermes.

The king is finally free.

Etoile is so fine.

They jumped right into action. Too bad this is only 8ep long.

Gieve holding his own against Hermes. Bodin's men had to ruin everything. Bodin needs to die.

Andragoras III still has insane strength. He instantly took the capital by taking Guiscard as a hostage. Total badass. I'm curious to see what will happen. Some mystery surrounding who Tahamine's child really is.

Direct continuation from s1.
Started with a war battle which are my faves.
Introducing another faction plus the return of the temple knights.

Old king just tanked outta of prison back with his weird prophecy talk. The wife talking about her son but didn't specify who. HMM
