| Seems like it is getting a pretty cold reception from fans of the game, tbh between this and Nier Automata, if I had to pick I would prefer Nier to have the premium staff whereas this can end up more trash since this is not adopting any of the Cold Steel games directly (they would need tons of season for that), and with Nier, and 24 episodes, there is a lot more greatness ahead. Trails of series are slow burns, we are only watching this for fanservice cuz otherwise it won't pick up that much momentum, an adaptation of Trails in the Sky 1 and 2 in 24-39 episodes with premium staff and proper respect would have gotten my WET anytime versus this. |

| The new anime looks atrocious. The detailed backgrounds do not gel with cartoons characters who only have one layer of shading. That's a general problem with modern anime but most shows at least paste a filter on to make it less jarring, but here there are several shots that just look terribly composited. There is also a scene where Lavi is drawn at a different angle than the environment she is supposed to be standing on. Also, shoddy 3D CGI. The soundtrack is forgettable. Falcom's people did the music for the Sky OVA and it sounded great, no idea why they aren't doing the music for this show. The first episode is pretty bad as a hook. The first four minutes are about grunts trudging through the show. This could be interesting with better directing and art and animation, but alas. You can't even see their faces and they look near identical so you can't tell who is who. The main character has no personality. Can't tell you anything about her. The bad guy's speech at the end was incoherent. "What did our founding fathers leave us? Nothing! So I'm going to fight the Erebonians!" What does fighting the Erebonians have anything to do with what the founding fathers left you guys? Never mind that you just acknowledged that your country is weak and impoverished, and you just acknowledged that the empire is strong, just conquered a wealthier territory, and has a new superweapon. If the writers of the games had been working on this then I'd imagine they could come up with more sensible lines. Could also be a bad translation but given everything else about this show, I'm inclined to think that the writing is just bad. |
| I play the games so this was a series I was very much looking forward to. Very exciting start, great fight against that sasquatch. Looking forward to seeing more. |

| I'm interested to see how this midquel is handled but man Tatsunoko just isn't the studio they used to be. The animation quality was rough and that last scene was Joe Rogan was a bit too fast paced. |
| My favorite scenes were the snowball fight and the tour of the market. I kept waiting for Tak and Pom?? to take off their helmets. |
| Well... the artstyle is pretty generic, but it was an okay episode. I like those 2 senpais with the MC. Buuut idk. I might get bored of this anime soon. Nothing really hooked me up. I'll give it 1 or 2 more episodes. |

| I haven't played the games, I didn't even know this anime had anything to do with any games. I'm actually enjoying this more than anything else new this season so far. The setting reminds me a bit of the beginning of FF6. I like Lavi's 2 soldier friends, Lavi isn't that emotive though. I'm looking forward to see where this goes. |

| Haven't played the game but it seems to be interesting adaptation. Btw the "Northern Borscht", which they were eating after arriving to that city, is a real dish x) -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borscht I am not even surprised the characters enjoyed that meal as it is a tasty one, in my country [Poland] we eat that usually only for Christmass. That's a rarity to see a slavic dish in an anime, noted int notebook, bookmarked and saved in memory. |
| I admit I know nothing of the games diving in. So far its just fine, not terrible but not amazing either. |
