Negotiations huh?

Well, I do admit the world of Granblue Fantasy is expansive and we got to see a fortfied city this episode. Katalina still seems to be an important character this season, which I'm glad. I think she's one of the more important main cast.

Another new character and as someone of the empire i have to say that she is more pleasant than the others.
Many of the villains we have seen so far there pretty obnoxious and with that i mean the leaders.
But this girl seemed pretty ok, she was hiding something tho.

Katalina leaving right now isn't that surprising but it is related to the new girl it seems.

For a neutral location the academy sure produces quite the impressive graduates. To think that Katalina was also a graduate. Unsurprisingly the empire only saw Lyria as a tool and nothing more. The banquet was a nice gesture from Vira though providing a excellent opportunity to defuse the resident tension that came from the negotiation. While Lyria and Io looked cute in their dresses Katalina sure looked gallant in her outfit. Looks like Vira and Katalina's bonds back then were pretty strong ones. After being on the run for so long peace can indeed be a strange feeling. A sacred beast that is granted to only the best knights huh. If anything it will ensure that only the best knights can attain that power. Still the cost of having to remain on Albion and protect it until death is a steep prize to pay. Katalina's departure was quite the surprise though. Im curious as to what Vira said though. Overall a strong ep that did well in introducing Albion and Vira while also introducing some expansion to Katalina. Feels like this ep is the calm before the storm.

Mmhh.. I don't like this kind of plot..
Especially not if the build up is so long and stretched that it's pretty obvious what's gonna happen

Of course the Empire wouldn't budge so easily and sure enough that seems to be the case. I'm assuming Katalina leaving the group is just one part of a big scheme to attaining Lyria once and for all but, on that note, I'm a little baffled as to why they didn't go for an underhanded plan to take her by force. I wonder if this is got to do with the Lord Commander or something of the sort, hmm looking forward to answers now.

I can't remember if I've ever mentioned this before but Granblue character design totally give off the Square Enix vibe.

Hmm.. I smell some Yuri in here.

On the other hand, it seems that this season will be more than just a simple fantasy adventure since we are entering more serious territory. I wonder what happened to Katalina? What made her leave the crew just like that? We'll find out soon enough, i'm excited to see what's coming up next.

And just like the majority of the crew members were saying, it's really fishy that the empire is letting Lyria go just like that, there's some deeper reason behind that move from them.

Well, the suspense is in the air for now, waiting for next week!

Albion look like a wonderfull island really!

Vira was introduced, and seems she was a classmate of Katalina in academy!

They gave them freedom that easily, so its hard to not suspect about that!

The banquet was wonderfull, Lyria was so cute and beatifull, Katalina outfit was also glorious, other were really good too!

The primal beast of this island is really awesome, protecting everyone and the island!

Seems Vira as something hidden, and i am curious to see what she whispered to katalina, and what amde katalina leave the fleet!

Looking forward next episode!

Reading comments feels like most of ppl here didn't even play this game. Surprising. I thought only game-players like me would still want watching animated GBF.
I read the story in-game 2,5 years ago, so my memory kinda went rusty about every detail, but sasuga my waifu yandere Vira introduction was good. Looking forward for next ep. (and in game freebies :D)

At this point I noticed that I like Katalina as a female character from a "shounen" anime a lot. (Anime only tho, never played the game)

Vira really makes me feel ecstatic. What a fearsome lady.
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because.

Every time I saw Vira, I wanted to run in the opposite direction. Like in the direction of the nearest airship and attach Katalina to the back like a cat-toy just to spite her. I don't care how much you like her, YOU CRAZY!

They also really like their Lyria and Gran ship. And I will deny it with EVERY fibre I can, 'cause Charlotta is just better. I mean, Lyria is nice, and I'd pick her over a lot of girls, but there are some better ones out there... in terms of my preference, atl east.

Still, I like seeing all these moments animated.

Just to list a couple of biases.
Likes: A good story, characters, writing, romance, a good plot twist or something that breaks expectations (In a good way), 'backstory' and justice.
Dislikes: Bad romance, too much fanservice, the harem genre, yuri, yaoi, and bad writing.

Catalina, she is just the hottest character imo, love her personality too. Granblue S2 is one of the anime I was most looking forward to this season, it just looks amazing.

Not sure what, perhaps the crazy yuri look in her eyes? But something tells me that Vira might be a yandere for our lady Katalina. Feels really suspicious for the empire to suddenly let them go...they better not do anything to best waifu Katalina!
