Maybe Mikleo's armatization will be just as op in the game. It helped me with a lot of tough battles, especially during endgame.

Ufotable made another awesome episode. A lot of things happened with everyone who wanted to kill Alisha. The Sorey's transformation was amazing and I love how the villagers looked at him. Shepherd is born !

okay there is one big and unforgettable mistake they made here,
making Sorey blonde...
I already noticed his blonde hair in the opening and thought it looked ridiculous..

It's an in-game mechanism.

Armatization is what it is called. Sorey and Lailah merged into a single entity (aka Fusion if you want to use Dragonball as an example) and enveloped the user with the power of the Seraphim (basically, increased power).

Armatization will change your appearance and exhaust the user.

As a person who haven't played the game, I totally didn't expected Sorey to fuse with Lailah (who is 100% waifu material). I thought she would help him to beat the dragon, not to merge with him. His Sepherd looked really badass. Somewhat reminded me of Magi's Djinn Equips.

I swear the assassin was that merchant girl who helped Sorey before (similar voice and same eye color). Well, at least Alisha is fine.

The fox dude is an incredible hilarious villain. Want to see more of him.

The preview was funny. Mikleo's faces were too much.

I'm just as shocked as you, Alisha :


What a terrible assassin that girl is, making such a huge noise when landing right before her target. Please tell me she did that on purpose right?

That preview segment though...Sorey and Mikleo are lucky that Lailah is such a good person because you should NEVER ask a girl her weight or her age for that matter xD

Nicely done, computer graphics didn't bother me. Only a few scenes made the characters paper thin.

But if the hero is this powerful as soon as he decides to become the Chosen One right in the beginning of this RPG anime, does he reach god-like strength after a few level-ups?

He isn't strong in the beginning of the game and he level up but this can't be done in anime format.

@Dab1za9 Okay... thank you for your answer.

I always saw Dai in the Dragon Quest manga/anime as a character who gained levels of experience. Same for Parn between its debut in The Grey Witch and the Marmo's battle (except the Lodoss OVAs didn't bother to translate all his road and instead showed him at different levels through ellipses). Well, I guess it was ismply too awesome for me. ^^"

No matter how many times I say it, I don't get tired of it. Ufotable is in another level. Shame on you if you are not watching this in 1080p. The sound was also brutal in this episode.

I was not expecting this to turn out like this, he made a contract with the "Lady of the Lake" and now he has those fire powers...mmm, so, he can make contracts with specific Seraphs so he can gain determined powers?


PD: The next episode preview was mortal xD jajaja. Ufo is really doing their best with those, too funny and original!
"How much you weight?" "It's a secret ^^"
"How old are you?" "It's a secret =]"
"What's the next episode name? "It's a secret ^//^"

xD jajaja so good!

Only flaw that I would attribute to this episode, is the actual stagnation in the events preceding the clash. You could get to the essence of the matter and give space as well as the dialogues, important to give seriousness to the environment, even in combat; making it much more exciting. Drawings and scenarios, excellent! OST really nice to listen to.

I was wondering why everybody was typing about Mason. I thought that episode two was three and posted in the wrong forum. WHOOPS. Don't worry, I fixed it.
I wonder if Mikleo talks, the others can hear them. Caitlin Glass' character. nope. They don't have a pass so she gives them one. Mikleo doesn't feel well. There's a strong malevolence here and the hellion arrives so they go to fight it.
Polite clapping. Nobody can pull out the sword. GO DO IT, SOREY. Who's the white-haired girl . So Alisha thinks that Sorey is a seraphim? Yeah, he can see them. IS THIS TERRI DOTY. The white-haired is the lady of the lake.
i forgot to do commentary for the rest of the episode. It was lit

I'm honestly not seeing what's so amazing. If all it takes for people to like an episode is for it to make it pretty, I'm surprised studios just don't pour all their money into doing so.

Sure the animation is very pretty and fluid, but once you look past that... this episode was very shallow thanks to its' rushed pace. You don't get the feel of Ladylake, how the malevolence is corrupting things, Sorey and Mikleo's perspective on the city, etc. As others have said, the dialogue is blegh.

I don't mind the changes concerning the armatization, but I do feel like the CGI dragon, while naturally out of place, is not as cool of an idea like humans turning into hellions. An OK episode; mostly style, barely any substance.

"kegare" same word as monsters in Twin Star Exorcist, both stemming from people's hate & same thing Chain Chronicle fights against. Quite predictable, Slaine becomes SaberShepherd and assassin fails. Different from other recent fantasy/shounens is the characters seem quite interesting, and of course great fights.
What's surprising is why did a water dragon appear & why's it committing arson? and chilling w/o attacking the crowd?
Also surprising is it becomes Luck & Logic (when they fuse into stronger being).
Red drill sounds like a granny.
lol Lailah is cute, so bored she sleeping during the fest, and that omake. Serious question what's her age?

They changed the voice...so shortly after the game...i hope its not what i think about but...lets google a bit
.
She had a soo unusual voice , unique seiyuu...always the best first , i hope the new laillah will be ok , it seems from the post ending part that she does this perfectly

Great episode, The animation is absolutely stunning. The fights are amazing to watch, All round the visuals are just exceptional. OST was great as well.

Onto the episode, First half was mostly some political talk showing some parties taking issue with the way Alisha is handling things.

As expected Sorey became the Shepard, I liked how Lailah questioned Sorey's resolve before letting him obtain the power. Sorey's reply that everything was connected in his dream was quite nice as well.
His new form looks awesome. I loved the way he wrecked that hellion.
The fight's finale made it look like the descent of some divine being(Well he is called a Shepard after all) with all the light coming out of the darkness and the orchestra OST xD

I'm liking Lailah already, She was so cute in that ending segment. :3

Can't wait to see what happens next.


Lailah is actualy even more cute in game , she avoid question by talking to butterflies , she make dirty jokes , she almost have the same voice but more like the post ending one since shes usualy a happy one

Shes actualy my number 1 tales girl , edna being second , elise 3 (from vesperia) sophie 4 (from grace) velvet 5 and finaly the number 0 (the best one) kohaku from tales of heart 😍

probably around a thousand year old , well cuteness doesnt get old , so our lailah is still a 17 years old , in the game she actualy finished school and become a teacher , so maybe she is around 25 years old

This is probably the most beautiful looking anime I have ever seen. The battle scene in this episode looked absolutely amazing. Sorey's transformation and the dragon were so cool!

Yeah, this was so epic. What a great and intense episode.
