that take-off mechanism lol, how the hell does that thing was even able to fly. Btw, they must have incredible steelworks and high engineering level in that world, damn they even has some kind of high level tempered glass there.

The art is very nice but Lyria design is a little off to me though not very interesting, the story is OK, but a little too generic up to this point, I have watch too much edgy anime from last year and they kind of ruined my taste now, it is a little hard to be able to enjoy such nice and cozy advanture, looking forward to some mood-change experience.

I like the Airship and the islands in the sky stuff, fits well for a fantasy anime like this.


Yeah, the animation was gorgeous and those sky shots. Been a long time since this kind of airship adventure, like a Skies of Arcadia.

Katalina is so awesome too.

I'm just gonna say that.. the captain/commander of that Imperial Unit obviously didn't watch Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis. If he did, he'd know not to fuck with Bahamut,


This LOL. I was thinking that from the moment of the summon ;)
Can't wait for the new season of that too.

The way they aired these episodes is a little weird

Nontheless, I actually enjoyed these 2 episodes quite a bit! Even if it is considered by today's standards cliche or dry, it didn't dampen the feelings they conjured within me when I was watching it The way the played out reminded me of the beginnings in 90s SNES RPGS. I guess it was a little nostalgic in a sense, even though it's a new series, because it reminded me of my childhood

Series has a really solid start and I like the characters and artstyle a shit ton. Classic anime adventure vibes so can't wait to see where it goes. Fucking Bahamut was epic and definitely was inspired by Final Fantasy.

I'm looking forward to play the game. <3
Although I really like the style and animation of the dragons, I hope Bahamut won't be a Deus ex machina in all battles. Lyria could call him or other beasts anytime.

Well, Gran has good reasons to travel and join them. One reason is very comprehensible. XD
While he is a little bit typical, I don't mind. I like his design and character so far.

Oh my, the backgrounds and colors are just beautiful.

Painfully beautiful to look at.

Painfully generic to watch.

For such a popular franchise I thought they'd try harder with this.

Lol that captain sure has the funniest of voices though
His ego is compensating for his fear eh lol
The dragon is saying yea come on buddy show me what you got lol
Told you the dragon is better than the hydra
lol the captain being dragged to his airship because he was too scared to move
Was the empire trying to use Lyria to summon monsters as weapons i wonder

Hmm so the dragon was one of Lyria's summons eh
Hmm so Vyrn has been with Gran since he was a child eh
Hmm Gran is a dreamer eh
Combine that with his kind nature and you get gran who loves to explore and help people as well.
I wonder what happened to Grans dad though
Its juts like Lyria to be by Grans beside when he was unconscious though she does have a kind personality after all. Its nice that Gran still considers the big picture even after just waking up though. Lyria's powers must have restored him to life after her plea and given him the same power she has. So the empire really was trying to develop a means to expand their power and Lyria was their key. Hmm so Lyria's power comes from the primal crystals and allows her to control creatures borne from them eh. Maybe the empire kidnapped her when she was a child or something for their experiments. Hmm so thats what happened. To save Grans life Lyria shared her life with his forging a bond between the two. So its one life for two people eh. What a shocking development though. Well Gran does get to go on an adventure but not in the way he hoped i think.

In a way this turn of events while unexpected wasn't Lyria's fault. It was forced by circumstance really. But it was Gran who made that choice and Lyria really just provided the chance. She didn't force him to take it. Plus i think Gran after hearing about Lyria's situation also wants to help her as well. But its nice that Gran is willing to go with them even if it meant leaving the village that he grew up in though. Plus Gran also gets the chance to find something that he always wanted to as well.
Lol no way a flying lizard can be useful

As his best friend in the village its nice to see Aaron display some worry for Gran though. But his dad is right in that Gran has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Lyria's cute when she's hungry lol. Its nice that the villagers are so accommodating though. And that they are leaving with the blessing of everyone in the village. Not the safest of takeoffs lol but at least they managed to get up.

Glad it still looks just as pretty as ep 1. If they keep it looking this nice and story being generic like the way it is, I'll enjoy it for what it is.
Adventure seems like it'll truly begin next ep so that's when it'll start being clear what direction this series will be heading in.
But seriously, for an anime based on an app game, not bad at all!

ALSO: The OP and ED are fantastic!

The only issue I have with this episode is with the lines written for Gran's friend Aaron... I think those lines were better suited for a female childhood friend that had romantic feelings for Gran. Having his bro say those lines was really awkward, if you know what I mean. They should have just replaced the Aaron character with a caring young female character, someone Gran has budding feelings for as well, giving Gran more incentive to return home after concluding his grand quest. This would also make for good romantic tension in the story if his feelings for Lyria deepen.

PogChamp got to see Black Knight so early at least, still worried that all were gonna see is just the story characters and no one else which in case i will say Cygames fucked up in that department.

so that's how the journey begins.
their call when summon bahamut is so cliche, waking up from being dead, and suddenly call the mantra like he knows everything.

Kind of a boring episode, but it was a needed episode so I'm not mad or annoyed because of it

I think they do a pretty good job expanding the opening! I would argue that the game is actually less interesting since it didn't have that little part when Gran was a kid. It also felt more heartfelt? I suppose since Gran feel very typical MC in your party. It's nice to see him as actual character than your fill in.

Ah! I had forgotten to mention that I am reviewing this anime series, because the second season of this show, has no summary at the beginning of the first episode, so to understand something I have to review this previous season. I know that nobody will give a damn, but I wanted to write it.
Therefore, the episode focuses a lot on the male protagonist and this also makes it clear what animates it in the choices that it will make during the episode. The clash between good and bad, it seems more an excuse to make ends meet at the end of the episode, however the narrative is quite credible overall.

They really made it obvious that Gran and Lyria are gonna be the main ship. Taking the "until death do us part" to the next level lol.
