----------------------------------------
I have to say, this show is weird...

Not a whole lot of expectations yet but the Wahrheit Empire itself has my interest more than the cast. Speaking of which, I wonder which one of them will get the more character development? This anime seems to have a lot of character cast but at least we got to know a little bit of Leocadio as a soldier. Also seems this anime has a degree of violence in it.

I'll have my eye on this show as I'm interested on where the story will develop. Characters are really mid except for that commander, he's badass. Animation is subtle as well, it kinda fits the uncertain mood of the show. And that music is handled dearly, I kinda like some of the chops and the OP.

Good first episode, hoping this show go well this season.

I like a lot of things about this. Seems like a show that takes itself seriously and there's some serious world building going on here. That said, I think it was way too rushed. I would have liked to see more of the characters before they ended up in this terrible situation.

It reminds me of Legend of the Galactic Heroes, what could have been a great same-sex relationship, turning into an archenemy by fate, and a lot of people will die because of their unrequited forbidden love. And since I drop Galactic Heroes, I'll drop this as well.

Not too bad, although I still don't know much about the world. I'll keep watching it for the redhead.

I know it's a bit early to say this, but maybe they'll stick a gacha code in the blu rays so they sell like hotcakes and we'll get a season 2.

Woah, things got intense towards the end and they got me with such a cliffhanger.


Felt kinda bland at first and I honestly don't have high hopes, however, I like the premise and setting and I'm interested to see where this goes.

I liked what I saw. I still need more information about the setting this world takes place in. The art direction and animation is a bit janky and feels off at times. But I like where this story is headed and hope the pacing isn't rushed.

The starting point was already mixed up. Even though the whole plot to get to that point kinda, out of place. Still the deal with The Diet, its relations with the Empire, and 'the light' in the beginning of the episode were unknown. It seemed the information of it might dump off when the times has come in the near future. Well, so far, it might turned out into a cliche situations, like a revolutionary on the Empire that led the two opposite of naives young lads to take the biggest decision on their life. Either its a good or bad, it did not matter at all. Because, yeah, their world its just a piece of shit that might became worsen than they think before. The patience is the key, and my expectations is pretty low. At least Schaake had a nice design. So i don't have a problem to continue watching.

That was both weird and interesting at the same time. The monster part kinda feels a bit random, but the part involving the military vs. smugglers seems interesting


the synopsis makes it seem like the 2 leads will journey on an adventure together, but judging from the ending I don't think the soldier dude would want to do anything with him :P

Loving the bit of world-building we got so far. It's too bad the animation is so cheap. Seems like this may be one of those stories where there's good and bad on both 'sides'.

Pretty clunky beginning. Most likely the future episodes will explain the whole empire and resistance values and what they fight for, but the whole sequence of events between a massive explosion that devastates a whole town could had been sorted in a better way.

It does bug me that neither of the guys in charge of sorting all packages question the authority of an obvious outsider not wearing any uniform or badges asking for a specific package, and more obvious when one of them is quite a good looking damsel in a tight suit in a working enviroment where all of them are guys.

The animation is also clunky, but at least it's not Haikyuu levels of terribad (Thank you Haikyu for setting a new low bar) I guess it's at least worth the 3 episode rule

Same thoughts. Also, those monster look too colorful against the background art and I don't get why use those big swords, especially against guns and what seems to be magic.
Nothing important. Keep scrolling.

The animation kinda reminded me of 91 days. And the OP and ED is kinda boring to me but it does suit this anime.

Well, the first episode didn't say much so I'm kinda confused.

So, will Leo take revenge against Inumael since he killed Zaitz?

I feel bad for Inumael. Was that necessary for Leo to put those cargos inside the truck without anyone knowing...

Not that bad. Considering it is based on some mobile game. I hope the plot won't get bad/boring. (The best would be if such anime used an original plot. But I don't know about the game here and if they adapted the game's plot faithfully.)

Chars are nice. Some big mistake and shit happening in the beginning. I guess there is no real good and evil but that mistake which in the end made the delivery guy kill the friend of the soldier male main char ... will make them big enemies.

Of course the female on the other team needed to survive. Not many other interesting female chars besides here so far.

Inumael's fight-or-flight response was a bit of a dramatic cliché.. Couldn't he just kick him off her or something..



Just didn't think he reached that threshold yet for going stab-crazy on an imperial soldier..

a lot of redheads (ΦωΦ)

this first episode was a bit messy but entertaining.
*still* don't understand why in the plot synopsis Leocardio's priority is his job and apparently he has quite a few more relatives to worry about than Inumael (who supposedly his sister is the most important)

well, maybe we'll see it later. Hope it only gets better

Leo's first day at Amazon rolled into a big oof.
OP/ED are quite unusual, both music quite nice, but seems like studio didn't have time for any visuals?
Each scene felt like a different era, a big mashup of jurassic dinos, medieval towns, low accuracy muskets, to late industrial revolution tech. Lots of worldbuilding potential, like the prison scene got a rifle with way more wood than metal.
Dual mc/pov always a welcome setup, and it's good how the intense skirmish lead to the stab that forces the mc's to confront each other.
Innu's initial impression was he weak at labor, so be interesting if he can actually fight.
And as a dual faction show, hope it doesn't go the way of Price of Smiles.

When you sum it up like this, yeah it's pretty ridiculous lol. I feel like the story is headed in a direction where we sympathize with the smugglers: they're not bad people, just outcasts and they're fighting against an oppressive society/government etc., etc.

I allways felt pity for Immanuel's imprisonment and hoped Leo could sort things out (altough he would be fired straight away tough) but...
When I saw Immanuel murder one of Leo's comrades, I just thought "Now he's done it" and dropped all that pitiness...

Great introduction!

I like the story but animation during battle was rather underwhelming. Also using swords in the era of quickly shooting guns look strange. Especially becouse the atmosphere of this anime was rather serious and then we get a battle with swords deflecting bullets.

I mean, with who you should sympathyze? The militry dictatorship?

Said so, I was here just to see if someone else was amazed by the low votes people are giving it 1 episode in.
Seriously what the fuck people, I understand that not everyone can be sold on everything but where all these 6 and below comes from? This single episode alone is better than some finales we have seen in other animes in the last 12 months.

Christ, give it some time.

Another game adaptation...having low expectations for what's to come as per usual.

A military setting, at least this is somewhat unique. Too bad that Yokohama Animation Lab still isn't quite up to the task of normal TV animation yet after Lapis Re:LiGHTs, they really need more work for experience in the action department.

Like Appare-Ranman, Naoto Hosoda is handling directing, series composition and scriptwriting, so it's essentially a 1-man job for the audience to dictate how well this'll turn out, even here in the very first episode, which is...a cluster of worries.

Leo seems like the good guy who wants to help, but not sure whether is it a good or bad thing. but all for safety. Innumael...is pretty much a scapegoat trapped within the situation between the battles or the Empire and rebels. And in a war setting, death is inevitable.

Who says friends are on the same side: Leo and Zaitz in the same regiment, and Innumael just gave the death sentence to Zaitz in an almost perfect rebel fashion, that's war for you.

Not quite sold on this yet, but the story is interesting...a bit.

An empire with inequality. Welp, after stabbing that guard, he's now an official criminal. He gained new friends, but he also gained new enemies. There's no turning back now.

Is this an adaptation? I thought it was just using the game as a base, kinda like Bahamut.

I just watched the first episode. Is this a continually complex work because of the beginning's misunderstanding? And who is the real MC?
The world outlook gives me an impression of confusion. At first, I thought that the era was the middle ages, but it was not. It was wholly based on its unique world outlook. There's magic in it too. In short, I think the role design of the girl is excellent, maybe because the original work is a social game. Also, I wish it can have a good plot follow-up.

We all know the classic quote from Aesop: "No act of kindness, how small, is ever wasted". But I guess thats a damn lie seeing Leocadio's kind act caused his friend Zaitz to be killed and also Innumael got roped into this stuff. So far this series looks interesting. looking forward to see how this unfolds
