Much better than the first episode. Why is it some anime start in the middle of the story and then back up?
Ryner is so lazy, he could be a much cooler character. He reminds me of Vash from Trigun. Sion was more likeable in this episode. It's weird knowing he'll become the king.
I'm looking forward to seeing the next episode.

Kiefer was a pretty souspicius character during the last scenes: asking Ryner to flee and being scared even after everybody was assured that they are going to a noncombat zone.
I'm going to bet she is the spy.

I agree, and she was the only one in the group to get enough focus and screentime for us to care about it when the spy's identity is discovered. Of course this could be just because, according to the first episode, she seems to be one of the only 3 survivors...

As for Sion I really really hope he doesn't turn out to be an antagonist in the end because it would be sooo typical and predictable.
After all right now everything about him screams evil villain:
- has long slivery hair,
- is skilled and naturally respected by others,
- has an angsty past,
- is an old friend of the main character and made a promise with him to become king and change the world
- and he actually manages to become one before said main character starts his journey to find the relics of the legendary heroes that give the title to the show,
- is overly loved by his subjects and even people from neighbouring countries
- did I mention the long silvery hairs?

please please Sion don't disappoint me!

Huge improvement over the first episode, not least of all because it's less focused on Ryner. As already pointed out there are a lot of similarities to Chrome Shelled Regios but at least with Layfon it was handled way better. A big reason for that is the humor still fails so Ryner is obnoxious, not funny. Sion's backs story and mission are great, I hope he has a prominent role throughout the series.

I fail at looking at these things, but what is wrong with Ryner that I don't seem to understand? He wasn't putting up jokes in the 1st episode that I can't seem to catch (maybe because I watched the RAW and didn't understand much of it).

Hmm, more serious than I was expecting from the first episode, but that's OK. Ferris and Iris (Ferris Eris and Iris Eris ... I wonder what their brother's name is) amused me well enough this episode. Meanwhile Sion was showing shades of Lelouch -- dead mother, child of a noble who wants revenge on them, etc. I know those are not exactly unique elements, but, along with Jun Fukuyama voicing Ryner (why do his characters always have powers in their eyes?), they reminded me of Geass.

Like others above, I suspect that Kiefer is the spy that noble mentioned, since she's the only one who's scared about what's going to happen. Anyway, from the battle aftermath scene they showed before, it seems like everyone else gets killed -- I wouldn't be surprised if this is Ryner's fault.

Much better than the first episode... A lot more fluid rather than jumbled together like the first episode was.

The second episode actually caught my interests, glad I stayed on board to watch it. Preview scenes of the next episode look good.

Hard to believe that Kiefer is the spy. I'm wondering if this is actually true. Novel readers, I don't mind if you spoil it for me-- just please label it as a spoiler. Is she really the spy?

Soooo much better than the first episode. I was really looking forward to this show cause the name made me laugh, but the first episode was too confusing, not really what I expected. This episode was 10x better. I really like the characters, even the white haired guy (I'm bad with names >_<) , and especially Kiefer. Next episode looks badass, I might have to go back and watch the first 2 again since I didn't retain any information from ep 1 >_<. 4/5

It's surprisingly getting better. The 1st episode looked rather vague to me, but I like how they started to patch things up right after. I'm hoping to be able to expect some good things from our main guy soon. :)

Now this episode was nice! Far far better than the first one! If it wasn't for that weird first episode I would like this series more. I'm glad I didn't drop it though.
Hope we will see some action next episode!!
Funny how the girl thinks that this guy Ryner is weak! :P I guess she will be surprised soon...

Hmm... Definitely an improvement. Everything makes a lot more sense. Let's see where this goes. It could became an exciting story but i have to admit i don't like this pretended am just bored attitude of the magic eye guy. Is like you want to kick him in the balls and tell him to stop trying to play the cool guy.

The red hair chick looks more hot than the blond to me but she;s probably gonna die right? At least that's what it seems to me. Big indications she's the traitor. The moment they all hated him for getting food from her was funny. She's obviously crazy in-love.

Why does everybody (not everyone-but all those assassins) hate Sion?? Is it because he preaches the corruption's of his country? I remember that one guy saying he "scoffed at the prince" or something.

GREAT second episode. I bet Kiefer is the traitor. Just my guess.

The puppy in the box part in the beginning was awful :/ so sad....

Yeah i kind of agree, it was a very rushed and kind of a convoluted mess that just kind of threw you into the midst of the story.

Damn i wonder who the spy is, this episode was indeed much greater then the first episode, a little back story on the character, the 1st episode was just tottaly confusing, at least we get to see how these characters devoloped to how they were on the 1st episode. So far i am liking where this is going.

This really should have been the first episode. Now the first episode just seems silly.

Ryner was such a slacker, haha. I'm guessing Kiefer is the spy? She seemed really desperate to get Ryner away from Sion.

The events of the first episode didn't feel right to begin with, so I figured we would go back in time to start the story for real.

Okayish so far.
