| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Man, Seth is quite cute as a kid lol Seems we're finally getting ready for the real adventure. I'm still not sold on Seth yet but he's funny to watch with his hotblooded personality. I'd say he's very lucky to have someone like Alma taking care of him. |

| Aaaaand they fucked up again... They made Alma kill the nemeses... <__< Seriously... that's because Seth can now take nemeses off alone that Alma let him go in the first place. (in source material) Also Seth just lost consciousness from using fantasia ? LOL HOW AOUT NO ? He's supposed to use it like it's as easy as swimming/breathing. Using a single attack shouldn't make him lost consciousness. They censored as fuck Seth's lynch. Lol Seth just go without a fucking clue as to where to go ??? Alma didn't tell him about Artemis ? WOW... that's... really really bad plot adaptation. I don't mind filler but if it's to remove all the fucking plot that make sense in the manga to just put some shitty filler and destroy the character development what's even the point. At least the Inquisitor scene at the end was nice. But seriously Lerche has clearly not a single clue at what they are doing and that sucks. |

| Monkey D. Dragon is in this manga now? Dafuq? But seriously...I'm still not sold on this series at this point. I'm just going with it. At least we got some backstory this week. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| A heartwarming backstory, loved it! |
 |
| K increasing my score given to his anime from a 6 to 7 Best ep by far (it had some problems tho)and better than every single ep that i've watched from fairy tail,black clover and boruto |

| Easily the best episode of this series so far. The scene where Seth left was pretty sad, especially since I left my parents all the way from UAE to Canada just 2 months ago. |
| This certainly is a harsh world to live in, poor Seth, and Alma, and any good sorcerer really. As if the Nemesis weren't enough, they still have as enemies an inquisition, marginalized sorcerers who got tired of the mistreatment and are now acting as the bad guys they were painted as, and the prejudice of the people. This inquisition thing makes me furious, they most certainly are sorcerers too, but I could bet that the hypocrite society doesn't judge them like they judge the "cursed" ones, but let's see. But I can't stand seeing people being persecuted, ostracized, and mistreated for being different. This anime certainly isn't disappointing with its representation of this issue so far though. It was so frustrating to watch a small Seth being kicked, and punched for being different by those kids, being judged harshly, and almost being set on fire alive, it was too much. But his past with Alma is compelling, and poignant. They don't even know who they are, but they found a place to belong with each other, so their parting was really moving, and it made me sad. I mean, I'm glad that Seth is going to expand his horizons, and move the story, but it would be nice if Alma were present, but I hope she will in time. Great episode! |
 |
| Easily the best episode so far, even if tropey backstory. |
| So, it was not a bad episode like the two of the last week, we even have a development about Alma, which is very good, and i welcome this initiative which from Lerche since it's not yet in the manga. A very good initiative, i was surprised So, it was the good points, now it's time for the bad points, namely EVERTHING ELSE : 1 : Alma don't spoke of the Artemis to Seth ? Where does the fuck he'll go, he don't know where to go xd 2 : The end of the fight with the Nemesis and the arrives of Alma which are TOTALLY rushed here compared to the manga, we don't even fucking know what going to the Bravery Quartet 3 : How does the fuck the Inquisition know where Seth is since Seth has not yet meet Dragunov who is the one who report Seth and his ability to manipulate Fantasia whith bare hand to the Inquition ? 4 : THIS FUCKING THING WHICH IS THE WORSE THING IN THIS ADAPTATION ( cc @Batora07 )    So, firstly i was very enjoyed and surprised of the decision from Lerche to add this Alma background which is not yet in the manga, and which don't fuck all the futur plot with the Seth's past and the main antagonist, but after that, we have all of those bad points, seriously, why can't they follow the main "Lines" of the plot and not change everything (especially the Seth's personnality, that really pissed me). Hope this will be better in the next episode |
| That was a really harsh and tough past that Seth and Alma had to go through :( And I like that Alma reiterated to Seth that the Nemesis aren't the only threats to them But man I really want to know who Alma was in the past and what her relation to Seth actually is and also did Seth kill those kids when his powers activated? Can any manga reader answer this for me please. Other than that, this was a really sweet episode and I felt very emotional from not only seeing the villagers genuinely thank Seth and Alma for what they did for them, but also that goodbye scene between Seth and Alma TwT Great episode overall imo and I'm super hyped to see what these Inquisition guys are all about (Especially that Monkey D. Dragon lookalike lol) |
JugoKun said: Ahh I see I see, thanks for the response! (And that's interesting how the anime included something that hasn't even happened in the manga yet)Tokoya said: Hi ! I can answer you for some of you questions ! So, Seth don't killed the kids, but he has very hurt them, in the manga, the kids tried to kill Seth with a knife if i remember. And for the past of Alma, we don't know, we know less than the anime, since this flashback of Alma isn't in the manga, but That was a really harsh and tough past that Seth and Alma had to go through :( And I like that Alma reiterated to Seth that the Nemesis aren't the only threats to them But man I really want to know who Alma was in the past and what her relation to Seth actually is and also did Seth kill those kids when his powers activated?

And for the Inquisition guys, just keep an eye on the hidden guy we see at the end, he'll have a VERY important role in the next of the series, more than Torque ;) And I will definitely be sure to watch out for that hooded guy (Can't believe I forgot to comment on him lol |
| Tears, lol Heartwarming episode with moving flashback, although I find the story is narrated way too fast and it takes longer for me to feel involved with the separation between Seth and Alma. Well, Seth goes on an adventure for his generic objective ! Yeah! :D :D |

(in the storie the fantasia burn everyone using it even the sorcerers, this is why Seth using it bare hands is special ) |
TuyNOM said: Generic yes, but very deep, developped and interresting, so stop talking about one thing when you have see 3 episodes (2 chapters) which don't feet with the manga.

Well, Seth goes on an adventure for his generic objective ! Yeah! :D :D I would be curious to understand what are the things that are wrong with my opinion. Plus, I think we can easily give an opinion in 3 episodes, at least give its own impressions, so don't come and dictate what we should do or not on this site. (Many users drop a series after 3 episodes if they think it's waste of time.) Try to accept all the opinions and if you don't agree, you can discuss it but need not reject it. :) Yep, based on the 3 episodes, Radiant seems to be closer to shounen (even if it is not considered as such on this site). The fantasy/magic world, discrimination against a minority, nothing is innovative. The main character says the same clichés sentences that I've already read/heard in many shounen. I'd like to believe that there will be improvements later and that Lerche didn't do the best adaptation, but apparently this adaptation would have been created so that young audience can easily understand. (Also, avoid "Risitas" and others on the MAL forums, they pollute. :p ) |

 |
| I am mildly curious about Alma's past, but apart from that I don't see much appeal in this show. Let's see if the new characters would be somehow interesting. So far I don't really care about Seth and what happens to him. |

TuyNOM said: So, where should i start ? If you're so curious to know what things are wrong in your opinon, it's easy : judge things without knowing them. Whao, i've saw 3 episodes of Radiant, now i know all the subtleties of the series and all his messages :D. And i've never rejected your opinion, i'm only in disagreement with your point of vue, and i say it. I don't dictate what you have to do, i only say it's stupid to judge a manga with view only 3 episodes, as a manga reader, it's really funny to see how wrong you are with the goal of the manga and with all of his depth. "The main character says the same clichés sentences that I've already read/heard in many shounen." typically a sentence of anime only viewer ... But it's not your fault, as the anime has TOTALLY missed the Seth's personnality, in the anime, i'm in accord with you, Seth is a typcall shonen MC but in the manga, he is unique, he has strong moments and a large development. I REALLY recommanded you to read the manga to realize it, the Seth of the 1st volume is really not the same than the Seth of the 10th volume, he has REALLY grew up, he has matured.

(Also, avoid "Risitas" and others on the MAL forums, they pollute. :p ) All of that to say that NO, Radiant isn't a bad manga with no depth and development, like i already said, he knockout a lot of japanesse manga by his strong messages and characters, i really recommanded to you to read the original manga which is not at the base for kids. And good evening to you in passing :) |
, the manga is really more for young adults, with a lot of actual themes : for exemple, in Rumble Town, migrants arrive from the South to flee their poor living conditions, and are held responsible for all the misfortunes of the inhabitants and they are separated from the rest of the city in ghettos. All this is a governmental machination for the current leader to remain in power. Don't that remember you something ? I don't know ... about Syrian people who cross the sea to come in Europe to have better living conditions but are rejected by the inhabitants ? And the rise in power of the conservative politicals people ? For an other example, in the volume 9, the Inquition 
| Best episode yet. I liked the flashback which gave Seths and Almas relationship more depth. There is still a major question left unanswered and I'm looking forward to the moment when they will solve the mystery. The emotional departure was also well done. |

| The only one trying to save this world is a boy who hasn't even gone through a voice crack. They're doomed! Why would Seth leave Alma? He can't do anything by himself. A kid his age would normally try his best to get Alma to do it for him. At least, he should convince Alma to go search for the Radiant with him. Why isn't Alma stopping Seth when he wanted to search for something that is a lie? I am pretty sure parents would stop their kids if they tried to look for Peter Pan by getting lost in a forest. |

| So far I'm liking this series alot. I don't give a damn of people hating this series , I'm gonna watch it. Anyho, I have a feeling Radiant is not a bad place at all, nor do all the nemesis. |
| If Seth's horns don't grow during some badass attack during this series I'm going to be really disappointed lol |

| This series is really growing on me and Seth is interesting to watch. I wonder what's their identity though? I hope Seth is one badass demon or something. Anyway, heartwarming back story and a bit sad. I like Alma and Seth's relationship. I hope the quest for radiant will be interesting as I hope. |

Seth finally starts his journey. Things getting more serious. |
| I liked the backstory, but i feel like there is a huge gap... Seth didnt even manage to properly kill one nemesis and he just left the other day to find their nest? Does he even have any idea where he's going? He just took a flight to where exactly? That escalated too quickly like wtf... I dont like how the plot is developing...hope things will be better next episodes and not anything like "nice found the nest! what a coincidence" or "yeah suddenly got op and kill 10 nemesis with one finger". Cause thats what this rushed development makes me think |
 |
| Yeah, the backstory was great, and it's easily the best episode so far, even though it was focused on the flashbacks and not making the story progress too much. But they are still derailing way too much from the manga. Seth was supposed to kill the Nemesis himself while beating the Quartet at the same time, it was quite a badass scene in the manga, why the hell did they change it to make Alma do all the work? But what I really don't understand is that they skipped everything Alma tells Seth before letting him leave. No mention of Artemis, Yaga or the yellow cat. It's no wonder people think it makes little sense for Alma to simply let Seth leave without destination, like the anime suggest. He was supposed to know where he's going and to whom he's speaking, so I guess that means a few plot points are already lost in the next 2 episodes and they will derail even more. |

Akerakai said: Making him less op is good And making her wants him to discover the world by himself is good too It's not. It makes absolutely no sense to show to the viewer that in this world kids can be burn by fire and lynched by a whole town on a whim and then at the end of the same episode just let go in the world a still incompetent boy (Lerche didn't make Seth killed the Nemesis by himself and he faints every time he uses the fantasia in this adaptation it seems) without even telling him where to look for first. This is lazy as fuck writing. |

| Best episode so far. Very emotional backstory |
JugoKun said: Evangrel said: I'm happy to hear that because what you are critiquies is all that the anime missed ! In the manga, before the departure of Seth, Alma told him to go to the Arthémis to by trained by a sorcerer named Yaga. He is accompagnied by Doc who is ALREADY one the Pompo Hills. He will guides Seth to the Arthémis to start his investigation to find the Radiant : In the manga those things are not rushed. And once again, the anime missed up an important sentence from Alma to Seth, this sentence build a part of the message from Radiant and she'll have a big role in the next of the series : Alma said "We don't born as human, we become it". Remove this sentence it's like remove the "with great powers comes great responsabilities" from Oncle Ben in Spiderman. And in the manga, Seth never faint after his fight, he could if he want kill 10 Nemesis like this one since using Fantasia with bare hands is easy as breathe for him. The anime is LITERALLY like the Tokyo Ghoul anime, he missed a lot of important things, the manga is 100 times betterI liked the backstory, but i feel like there is a huge gap... Seth didnt even manage to properly kill one nemesis and he just left the other day to find their nest? Does he even have any idea where he's going? He just took a flight to where exactly? That escalated too quickly like wtf... I dont like how the plot is developing...hope things will be better next episodes and not anything like "nice found the nest! what a coincidence" or "yeah suddenly got op and kill 10 nemesis with one finger". Cause thats what this rushed development makes me think I see, thanks for the insight! I might check out the manga to see what is actually going on with this story.. |
|
| I mean, can we really blame Seth for passing out ? Using Fantasia might not drain him, bit he also got quite the beating from the Nemesis . |
Lachiesis said: The Nemesis ? hurt him ? AH ! Look instead to this I mean, can we really blame Seth for passing out ? Using Fantasia might not drain him, bit he also got quite the beating from the Nemesis . and i specify that Seth doesn't have a power up between his fight against the Nemesis and this scene. |

When was that again ? Also Seth did train with Yaga between volumes 1 and 2, and he doesn't exactly look like he's having the best time in your pic. That aside, I'm discussing the anime here. Seth was crushed by the Nemesis. Yeah he can handle Fantasia, but physical damage is physical damage (if we're talking in RPG terms, DEF and RES are different stats) and hit by an unspecified spell from Jiji (on top of running like hell). Having him pass out is also a convenient way to introduce a scene change. So I stand by my point, it's not that strange for him to be conked out at the end. |
