"Ace of Flashing Strikes"

Heh, that fight was a curb stomp for Licht. That Major David guy what he deserved if you ask me. Poor Hina. She was so lonely during her adventures since her mother went away. Honestly, this second episode was more emotional the first first one.

Wasn't able to watch it. Was saying "Video not available" now it's private but they said it'll be on funimation until December 9th 9pm UTC. But I can't find it sadly.I did watched the first episode in French though, but only the first episode is available there.

Ugh, only one episode and MC is so annoying so far. What the fuck was that first impression with Hina? She also seems kinda useless tbh

Idk, probably gonna drop this one since this season is pretty stocked

Licht has a cool title "Ace of Flashing Strikes" and he is really fast as his title says. The fight was okay but lol it was funny to see him hurt the opponent by just moving. Also GEEKTOYS is doing a pretty good job animating this considering this is only their third anime.

Technically, "no". Saying anything beyond that would be considers as spoiler so I won't give an full answer.

Continuing from back-to-back Episode 1, the legendary Red Baron Licht is clearly badass from his status as the "Ace of Flashing Strikes". The fight itself was mostly a joke, but when Licht does rampage, his Count is somewhat weird to count on (like being women-rejected 999 times? That's some insane disadvantage to full-on OP power).

With that, Hina has found what her mom has told her to do. And her mom's Ballot memento, is a slap to the face as Licht takes off with it. Once again, she's blindsided for an item that could change the lives of those who own it. HEH all that BIG TALK about being "legendary" for 300 years, and to be gone.

For pretty much the start, she's a tool to be used until she can discern what's truly going on in this world. There's still many a ways to go with this great manga, let's just see how the anime adaptation handles the rest the next month onwards.

if you have read manga can I ask question? is there something special in negative numbers? like they are the reason for Licht not aging or/and powers?

Like the guy above said the negative count has nothing to do with his aging. If anything, the aging and powers has more to do with the Red Baron title itself.

Why would I be Russian? Kissanime has changed hosts now and then as they show anime episodes for free without asking. Now they've been at .ru for some time, maybe they don't get kicked off there.

I'm intrigued, but I don't think I can take much more of our litte damsel in distress here. Mangaka of Battle Shonen really need to stop adding main characters with that stereotype.

That said, I liked how over the top the fight was. The art is fine and the setting seems interesting. Let's see how this developes.

Writingwise and from a technical standpoint it's really bad to mediocre at best, but it's still somewhat fun. Will give this another episode or two.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

We seem to be in a medieval world and suddenly, towards the end, the bad guy whips out a headset, so I'm guessing there are going to be guns and helicopters later.

Although the fight was pretty flashy, everything else is just so painful. It is only episode 2 and we are shoved into a remorse scene. You have to build up the characters long enough to make me feel invested, otherwise it is just cringe and try-hard.

Seriously, she only met that pervert 2 times now and she bawls her eyes over how that he saved her from her years of loneliness. The first time she encountered him, he groped her leg and she kicked him in the face. The second time, he saved her and yeeted away.

Also, how does Hina not know anything about the world? She walked 44100 km through towns, deserts, and grasslands, yet she is as clueless as I am. If there's one thing I took so far, it is that every episode later is somehow going to involve Hina and her thighs. The sexualization is just not my thing, and the hot protagonist pervert is just pushing it.

I don't know why I was expecting something, considering this is one of those shows.

Edit: Check out the new Witcher show on Netflix for a good adventure

I've watched both preview Ep. and I'm not impressed - Hina is completely lacking in everything - and I suspect her number being where it is to justify some fanservice.

I suspect she'll bumble through at least half of the episodes before some crisis will occur and she'll suddenly become OP in some way.

Bit of a twist at the end where the guards have modern headsets...

I'll give it 4 Ep. before I'll make the drop or not decision.

Okay, so I get why people would drop it based on the first 2 episodes.
Animation is quite lackluster compared to the manga's awesome art (I love Minazuki Suu's style)

Do yourselves a favor and give the manga a chance. Around Chapter 8 it starts to get really different and quite intriguing.

Two episodes in and not that impressed. Not into the art and don't really like any of the characters besides the waitress since she seems to be the only one who isn't a douche or an idiot. Will give this a couple more episodes.

that guy looks wayyy too young to be a Sergeant Major. I heard the other soldiers calling him "Sergeant" in Japanese so could this just be a translation error? After all in real life it's impossible to achieve the rank of Sergeant Major without at least 15 to 20 years of service.

The scene where the plushie exploded into flowers and a ballot is so freaking beautiful i think that's gonna be my new desktop wallpaper now

Love the design for Hina but the Licht's eyes look weird sometimes

Also I'll never understand why girls would wear a button-up shirt and expose their bra like that. Maybe their breast are too big to fit?? >.>

This reminds me so much of Seven Deadly Sins, which I dropped on eps 1, what with the perverted hella strong secretly a legend main male character always molesting the dumbly naive and pure and innocent main female lead. But although I hate this kind of characters, I would prefer these 2 over the seven deadly sins' 2 main lead cause Licht and Hina actually have a personality, while the 7 deadly sin mc deadpans the entire time and has no seemingly personality and doesn't even show care and treats the main girl like a tool like a sex toy and the main girl doesn't even flinch when she gets molested she just stand/sits there like a doll and let the mc fondle her

anyway i read the manga and it's gonna get pretty good. some of y'all (and reviewers) and judging way too early and being too harsh. it's only 2 episodes. what happened to the 3 episode rule?? lol

Like the guy above said the negative count has nothing to do with his aging. If anything, the aging and powers has more to do with the Red Baron title itself.
without spoiling, is Licht really not the Legendary Ace Hina's mom told her to find? Or is he just lying?

For such great premise, I'm rather disappointed. I hoped for numbers to play more active role and just excuse for standard fantasy action. Licht seems kinda fun and I like how strong he is, but other than that I don't have high hopes.

this was setting up to be an interesting world before the stars betting nonsense to force action and plot devices and how stupid op licht is. unfortunately my guess based on the cover seems to be right in that this is just gonna be another predictable trope-fest with way too much fanservice. i'm gonna keep watching but atm my expectations are very low and it's leaning towards a hate-watch.

Gonna be really interesting if the show can pull this around like some of the manga readers suggest. The times I have watched an anime where the first episodes were bad but the show got good later were... actually, I can't remember any. At least I'm not yet in the mood to drop the show like I was after the bland and annoying first episode of Black Clover.

I look at it like this: either the show continues being as bad as the first two episodes and I have fun, or it gets better and becomes decent, which is also great. So this will be somewhat of a win-win in my book :]

That was a rollercoaster, at first Licht was nice, even cute and then he was suddenly an ass ._.
He has this soft look, I just couldn't believe he could be a bad guy but still I wasn't sure what to think about it.
I feel bad for Hina, she searched for so long and then he's just running away.

It's starting pretty interesitng and I wonder what's the deal with the guy at the end of the episode.

I'm really liking the show from what I can see so far. Loving the twists and turns I hope it keeps going like this.

Seems like Licht has no choice but to do what he is doing. He looked sad as the number on his hand changed at the end.

This was nice! I was expecting some cliche shit when the female mc kept on screaming at the top of her lungs to for MC to wait for her but he gave her the fcking cold shoulder, twas pretty badass. I chuckled when his number of getting rejected went up to -1000 when she screamed she hates him lol. Anyways how was that a fcking rejection? he never even confessed to her let alone showed some interest in getting in a relationship with her, tho he was pervy around her back in ep1 but that wasn't really him asking her out lol.
I guess the numbers just gets another negative when a girl tells him she hates him regardless of the reason.

Anime looks like a cool fantasy OP mc setting, love his weapon of choice being a long ass katana combined with him apparently having enchanced speed.
