| For the founder who was portrayed as the most powerful mage that burned the empire, how the heck is she taken down so easily... I mean she could move away while casting spells when the mc is running in the stairs, that last strike make me facepalm, she could just move out of the way, what are the wings purpose? Just hover and be a flying duck? Cringed in this episode. I hope not to see this again later in this series cause I like this anime. Problem with these type of mages is that they only rely on their spells being "powerful" but not use any practicality.Then they get all suprised pikachu face when overpowered. Also a problem when a new supah power is introduced, other chara including MCs get suprised every damm time and get nerfed as they watch in awe as they stand still hoping that they would survive the blast with their plot armor (look at the first attack, it was a direct hit but plot armor is thicker than a blast from the founder). |

| Gaddamn I did not expect the founder to appear and then be defeated at episode 3. But, that just means she is not the final boss at all. Imma just think that since she just awakened her powers hasn't returned fully yet that's why they were able to defeat her. Really enjoyed the episode though, story isn't anything special but much like other silver link shows I am enjoying the heck out of it. Plus I really like the characters too especially Iska and Alice, also Rin. I honestly don't want them to be enemies though, hopefully they get to work together again in the future. |
 |
| That was a decent fight. I am liking the relationship development although I hope it won't be too much longer before they say 'I love you'. |
| The sword that takes life gives life |
| 15 minutes of the episode was spent entirely on pointing out and reviewing how little sense the entire setting makes; reminding us that these are two extremist, genocidal empires who have nonetheless somehow come together and are able to respect each other's differences and tolerate one another in some random city. And it trickles down to the characters too. "I am prepared to do anything for my goals! Even treason!" Except, of course, violating a neutrality treaty apparently. And then, we finally… finally get the third party true evil who is the trigger for them to come together. Not some extra-extremist terrorist cell, or someone taking the orders too far. Quite literally a super-duper genocidal witch who spawns out of literally nowhere and pretty much just hovers in the air as she tells them over and over that extremism and genocide are the only acceptable path. Meanwhile, random magic effects just sort of happen. We haven't even actually seen any of this horrible oppression, just been told that it happened at some point. Is it actually that bad if they've got their own empire and a city where both side can live in harmony? Even the damn war seems pretty cordial. I mean, one side does have people who teleport onto a hill and immediately begin throwing explosions everywhere out of pure spite, and that's the supposedly persecuted side. |
| Too rushed to be able to care enough about the conflicts. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| Man, I am a huge sucker for LN trash and it shows. This show is really, really bad, but I can't stop watching it. |
| Yet these hands will never hold anything. Thus I pray, Unlimited Waifu Works!  |
| o final do ep até foi bom, mas ainda me incomoda como as cenas de diálogo são lentas e os quadros estáticos como romance, esperava mais profundidade; como ação, esperava mais efeitos e maior duração espero que melhore the end of the ep was ok, but it still bothers me how slow the dialogue scenes are and the static frames as a romance, i expected more development; as action, i expected more effects and longer duration I hope more |
 |
| Dang, they've could have save that part as the last ep. |
| Pretty bad follow-up imo, most of their reasoning is flawed and I'm not really sure if it's intentional because of their age or not |
| The battle was really weird and also I prefer that ice girl's oppai. |
| I didn’t expect the Founder to wake up so early on. I thought she would’ve came up at the end or at least the middle of the season. The fight was a bit short, but Alice and Iska’s teamwork was amazing! |
| It's a cheap rom-com with fantasy and military elements. Superficial and generic plot and characters, but with very good visuals. Dropped 4/10. |
| Ego = 1 / Knowledge | "More the Knowledge Lesser the Ego, Lesser the Knowledge More the Ego." Albert Einstein My ratings:  |
| oh nice they joined forces...then next day back to enemies again...so it the plot tsunderedere? 3/5 |
 |
| Only episode 3 yet it looks like budget Kirito & Asuna already defeated the founder. The fight was alright I guess but this show is not trying too hard to be more than it is and it feels like the Silver Link people are completely aware of that and just don't care. Me neither, lol, so I'll still end up watching it, and not just for Alice's oppai. |
| I noticed a problem with this anime that disturb me a bit. It's the sound. It's a fighting scene and why does the 2 main chara voices are lower than fx/background music. Who's this horrible sound director? D: |
 |
| It was fine. Founder is here! Anddd it's gone! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| It was decent. The fight was kinda good although it was a bit quick. Alice and Iska are really cool when they're together. Just maybe this anime will actually be great but not yet. Next week, back to status quo with the war between the Empire and the Sovereignty continues. |
 |
| Both MC's are powerful. I wasn't too surprised they managed to beat the boss character (although she seemed to be a in a weak state). The girl is a descendant, the boy has anti-magic legendary weapons, so that's that. Also it's nice to see that the boss isn't universally OP for once. So, the pair already knows what they both want, but they have yet to find a solution that will end the war. How though? That will be the main point of this show. |
z00nex said: They “coincidentally” met each other many times in just 3 episodes. Generic characters, generic story, generic weapons/powers.They beat the founder of the astral mages with the power of our dual wielder protagonist. I don’t see any difference between this and any other fantasy/romance show. I hope they can show us what makes this anime different than the others. Don't go reading the official release for the LN then, it is so much more cringy. Especially the narrator itself, when these coincidences keep happening there, it was pushing oh this must be destiny or something... it legit sounded like cheap fanfic, it gets way more enjoyed later on, but vol1 narration was one of the worst ever at parts. Also, this series is really not going to please you moving forward if you cant just enjoy what you have seen thus far, so just save yourself time and drop it. It will make usage of some foreshadowing already saw, especially concerning the witch the MC saved and some other twists, but really I don't think you will enjoy it. |

I also never dropped, but if I don't dig, they are throw in the void, waiting for me one day to ever watch, even if I have to use them as background noise. |

| The fight with the founder was okay. It was nice to see Iska and Alice fighting together to take down the founder, like a temporary truce with one another. Surprised that the founder was taken out so easily tho, it looked like she was very powerful. |
 |
| So, this new antagonist appears out of thin air because Not Kirito's swords resonated with her? Why didn't she appear in their first encounter in the woods? Also the long dialogue pauses between Iska & Alice while this new/old witch is allegedly attacking them feels so damn bad, out of the "talking is a free action" trope. |
| Pretty bad episode, to be honest. By the way, I thought that fights would look worse in this series xD |

RayReynolds said: And it trickles down to the characters too. "I am prepared to do anything for my goals! Even treason!" Except, of course, violating a neutrality treaty apparently. At the end of the day they want peace even if it's in the own way. Why would they willingly start fighting in a neutral place and involve citizens who don't want to get involved? I'm not all too sure, but I think residents do not even know what war is like. So why would Iska or Alice show it to them? they are not that type of characters. And they themselves go to a neutral city to relax, not think of war, they aren't robots, they can't constantly fight. Yes they will do anything for the sake of accomplishing their goals, except brining war to a neutral city. |
| I don't know why so many complain, I personally liked this episode a lot, and the anime as well, so far, top tier romance for me. I can see how someone is disappointed that fight against possibly strongest being was so short and uneventful really. Seeing her in the OP, I expected them to fight it at the end of the anime, with plotwists, possibly even sacrificing herself to destroy her. But I mean, at least we don't have OP spoil the ending for us and it's still up in the air what it's gonna look like. The episode was dope though, really like how Mismis captain went along with Iska and then they met Alice and Alice pointed out how they must have been born under the same star. I like her offerring to serve under her, didn't expect that, I lowkey wished he'd agree, but I knew he wouldn't. Glad that Iska finally revealed his intentions to her, so now she at least knows what kind of person he is and that he isn't really her enemy (hopefully she'll realize it sooner rather than later.) I liked their synergy and interactions during the fight and then calling a truce at the end while lying side by side, awww...my heart melts too quickly ^^ |
| There's really nothing to discuss about the plot…… This time Kuwashima-san's role died quickly again, sasuga shinigami hahaha 😂 |
 |
| Well, the founder died pretty quick. It was a pretty enjoyable fight though. That's a scary coincidence that they both always think the same and meet at those places at the exact time!! |
 |
| Just after cute moments of IskaAlice, ... both of their hesitation lead them to meet once again and Just when they tried to exchange ideas of how the war should ended.. somehow the "final boss" from Nebulis appeared, the Founder herself. It seems the Iska's sword became the trigger of it, since she seems to know the previous wielder of the sword, Iska's teacher. The battle between them was awesome i think, it was kinda short but the animation and the battle sequences was good , I like the cooperation and sync between IskaAlice in the battle, their coordination made them beat the Founder. after using so much energy both IskaAlice opted to do a ceasefire for this time haha.. there so much things that still hidden in the dark especially for both faction , i hope one by one it'll get revealed |
| Silver Link's doesn't dissapoint again with the action scenes, it's not the best but it's not bad either Getting really hooked now that the supposedly final boss is beaten this early, will she come back later or will this be a story about overcoming the bureaucracy wall |
| I m glad they put more attention to the fight. Volume 1 was mostly a bit disappointing, after the very enjoyable first 1 hour in, but that fight there really ended it on a better note, so kudos, because this was certainly above average. And again, the selling point for me, about the anime adaptation, is mostly just how great the art design is, something Silver Link already proved to excel many times in the past. This was way more cringy when reading, about their confidential meetings, more tolerable within the anime tbh. And certain, the LN does improve on this point, as its volumes progress, so overall, I think I will also enjoy the anime further, the further it goes. |
|
| With the power of love they managed to stop the cockblocking Founder there, nothing can stop the duo! except perhaps some stubborns higherups perhaps. |
 |
| eh he didn't defect to her side boring that way |
| The animation not bad, the batlle a bit intense. Finally they are both, have the battle so early against the founder. A good tag team. |
| Cliché supporting characters especially the clumsy big breasted person however, the two main characters, Isky and Alice is portrayed more or less like Romeo and Juliet for me but I hope we will be getting a happy ending... instead of the obvious one. This series is seriously interesting to watch when the scene are focused on the two of the main MC but the story seems to be skipping some chapters after their "founder" suddenly appeared appeared like that in the 3rd episode... lol?! It is enjoyable though. P.S. The OP & ED are so sweet, romantically speaking. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| I feel like the romance aspect is much more interesting than the fighting stuff, they should just focus on that. |
