----------------------------------------
It was inevitable but about time Mirza faces off against Theo. He made his intentions pretty clear too. Theo becoming the ruler of Bulltava is quite an achievement. The invasion of the Forest of Darkness begins!

The episode had more fan service than I had thought...but honestly, I felt it was pretty awkward to "inspire" the troops.

Strategy planning for this war is really moving forward.

Mirza's forces tries to fight against Theo's in the forest, but they couldn't do anything and had to retreat. They're sure are backed into a corner. Standing naked in front of all those soldiers is quite the strategy to inspire them.

Haman soldiers should undress all their clothes too! Why're they still wearing bottom? Their leaders are completely naked! Milza's gonna need her 'trick' in the next episode lol.

The forest environment and Theo's forces knowledge of it will help blunt Milza's forces and negate his advantage in numbers. The skilful use of the various races though was impressive. The battle of wits between Siluca and Milza's strategist though is interesting. Communicating with magic sure is interesting in this world though. Theo's ploy though sure was a good one and managed to reduce Milza's army significantly. Hmm the nord leader sure is a energetic and fearless lass. By far the most surprising plan was Eudokia and Laura's naked plan to inspire the troops which when combined with the undercover lord was surprisingly effective. Looks like the noose is starting to close around Milza. Looking forward to how the battle will turn out next episode.

The battle finally begins. Mirza's army pretty much had a defeat like predictable, so they had to retreat. Wasn't a fan of the scene, felt rushed.

The way to encourage the army was really awkward. The fan service was strong on this episode. The final battle seems to be near as Mirza is surrounded by the enemy.

Sometimes I have a hard time reading which noble is on which side. Makes it hard to follow. At least I'm getting the pleasure of seeing Milza squirm.

Okay why Theo didn't aim to kill Milza in the forest? He stood by walls of his castle with just a handful of soldiers. Easy target...
Also, I--- I think Haman and their strategy to inspire soldiers reached new levels of "don't treat that anime seriously even if they seem to convince you it is serious record of epic war" :'D

But I sense the end of Milza so I'm content.

Attractive women + anime logic ?


And that's good but this is too much broken anime logic. Every ep after the ninth made me flip the table for the "realistic strategies" and "logical choices". The whole suspension of disbelief is so deep that a full dream with no cause and effect would be a lot better. This people are smoking hard stuff and for god sake I want it too because with this story the author made money while I'm poor as a shoe.

This kind of speech will be able to show it's true value in an animated show with a lot of skin exposure, bland censorship and very good seiyuu that makes the entire show value rise like over 9000: also called hentai.

This episode sees Theo and allies steadily establish a stronghold to liberate Altirk as Mirza gets backed up into a corner. Meanwhile, the people of Haman take an... unusual option in standing their ground against the Alliance forces. It looks like the next episode will feature the big battle, so I can't wait to see what happens.

The sexuality is intrinsically related to the plot in this anime, and I even think all the commotion caused in the castle showing that they have already lost everything (even the clothes and the shame), but when going to battle all naked, I think it was to show that they did not have a second chance, was to believe that the revolt would work well and literally use their own skin as armor, since according to both, many citizens would also be among the soldiers, in this case having armor or not, probably many would lose their lives.

Well, all this still seems pure fanservice, thinking logically taking off the morale of the combatants there was no reason to go naked the battle, the resolution shown in the castle should already be of good size, even so this blonde wizard was much bolder than me I thought she would be, and not that I am against the fanservice, but I wanted also have seen more of the battles, for even though having several battles in this episode, I feel that I saw practically none, for even the invasion of the forest was so quick it did not seem a real fight ..

Can't please everyone - unless you're in Hamam :D lol - Honestly Other than some 'if you choose plan A you auto win if done right or you can choose plan B and fight a long war and have a high chance of losing" Politking that occurred especially early on; i feel the series has actually improved and or become at the very least more entertaining.

though I do think the Hamam people are a bit 'different' than most; in that (if nothing else they were designed for a strategy like this to work) in that what would appeal to most might not to them and what doesn't to most does to them ;p

Well from how things are going I would assume there will be several battles and we have 24 episodes to work with; thus I would assume we will get our share of battles.

What? To undress in front of your troops to display that the coffers are empty and that there's no fortune left to dispose of, I can get behind that. But I didn't expect them going butt naked into battle... eventho the battle itself didn't really happen, but they were definatly prepared for it!

I can't wait for Theo and Milza to clash!

Not much action but looks like we'll be getting lots of it next episode. That speech though damn i got my mouth hanging in the entirety of it. That blonde body though ftw. Damn i love Edokia now that's a proud woman. I kind of agree that it's stupid to head into battle in full naked glory even though it didn't happen but at least it brought a smile to me so meh.

Last question am i the only one who thought Edokia and Laura will get gangbanged? Damn i watch too much hentai

To be fair the writers probably don't expect the majority of viewers to engage in deep analysis of military strategies this anime employs as long they can make things believable enough.

Comrade I feel you. For a show that is titled "senki" the insult on warfare and strategics are extremely painful. Nothing they do makes objective sense but somehow it works.

Ever since Mirza dedicated his army for sex I gave up on trying to make any sense of this series.

I think the saddest part of this episode is they choose to do a nonsense display of fanservice and some silly speech then downright ignore the warring part of everything and just ends it there. All them titties...just for titties.

I remember a nekkid battle of sorts from Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series. At least he had additional reasons baked in (playing on superstitions). At the end of it all, Kahlan discovered she was just a naked lady on a horse. I can't imagine unequipping your entire army being a good idea.

Not really broken. It's still based on some historical facts. I mean Celts fight naked all the time. It's meant to show that you've got nothing to lose. You can't really use your modern understanding here. Kings and queens are beloved and respected characters in their time and to see them desperate to protect their people to the point of nakedness does inspire loyalty and respect.
