Good episode. Nice to see that even Arthur has his weaknesses and is haunted by a trauma. Siege of avalon next should be fun to watch with Arawn and Arthur not being there to fight.

Was there anyone writing a script for this or they just randomized story elements together? Just when it was starting to get decent with the last ep.

I honestly liked this episode. Sure, it seemed a little sloppy at times, but it really kept my attention. Although... seriously. I understand he was going berserk and reliving a very traumatic event, but still. "I made a promise to avenge my dead father... therefore I'll fulfill it, even if I have to kill my sister!" ...yeah. That's awesome logic, Arthur.

*coughs* But. Good episode overall, I thought.

Yeah, but without him dying, this whole scene is kind of pointless, especialy Arawn's line "you avanged your father" - how exactly, if he didn't die? And Arthur could simply throw his sister away and then stab defencless Arawn, without berserker's charge...

And yeah, this whole thing came out of nowhere, too random for me, and Arawn didn't even try to explain the whole situation...

WTF happened to the art style from the previous episode... it returned to the generic art that the series started with. Anyway as for the episode it was rather mediocre... some nice back story added but ruined with the final scene. If Arawn had actually died it wouldn't have been so bad of an episode but instead they chose the cliche revenge followed by regret path. Oh well... I don't really expect much from this series anyway.

I agree. That one line killed the whole episode. Would've made the plot better if Arawn just randomly appeared when they were in danger of dying or something like that.

I felt some disappointment that Arthur didn't stab Riannon. That would have made it interesting in my opinion.

They should have given Arthur a brain in this anime. He annoys me more each episode for his lack of common sense.
Also, the dream Riannon had plus the line Arawn spoke about knowing what was going to happen. Was that what it was about? If so this series got lame fast. If the next episode is this bad I'm gonna drop this. BTW! The zombies were all identical and poorly drawn.

Pretty bad episode. Once again we're totally disconnected from the previous episode's ending, and once again, we have Arthur's character development backsliding for the sake of the plot. With this event though, I can safely say that Arthur is worse off, and much more useless than before the show started, since he even seems to have bitched out and ran away.

Worse off, he killed Arawn, but didn't. Even though he got impaled by a large sword, defenseless, Arawn is still alive, removing the point of Arthur's "justice."

I'll also say that I'm disappointed that Arawn is the one who killed Arthur's dad. I figured he would have said something by now so I assumed it was some other person as yet to be mentioned.

Oh well. At least that loose end is tied up.

I think Arthur was a pretty cool guy in the beginning, wasn't afraid of anything and killed stuff.. (yeah dunno how true that actually is, but anyway, for the sake of lol) now he's pretty much a wuss at best >.>

makes kinda no sense at all, why would Arawn kill his buddy Pwyll's decendant? 'cause I take it Pwyll and Arawn were buddys back then, and since Arthur's his decendant, then that kinda makes his father one too?

Man, Arthur is a jerk. I've tried to like him, but he continues to disappoint me. I agree that the impact is lessened by the fact that Arawn didn't die, but he's kinda the main character, and the series is barely past the halfway point. If he's gonna die, it'll be much later. And the scene still served to show the depth of Arthur's anger for his father's killer, he was so shaken up he didn't even think about Riannon.

Can't say better than that. The 14th episode was excellent, especially the direction and face expressions. This one was totally random scenaristically speaking. And more than a script and character elopment, I feel like these two elements are in a regressive curve in this 15th ep. Well, not a good one, let's see if the siege of Avalon will be more interesting.

I'm hopping there was a reason for Arawn killing him. But then again I have doubts that it was really him to begin with. The guy who killed Arthur's dad looks very different from the white Arawn we saw in this episode and the Arawn we see in every episode.

@at everyone bitching about Arthur. What he did was understandable. If the killer of your dad was standing in front of you, don't tell me you would just shrug it off because the guys been nice to you. No, you would at least get angry and start beating the living shit out of him. We also have to take into consideration that Arthur was very young when he saw his dad get killed. That amplifys things a lot.

As for the episode as a whole....it was random and felt waaaaay out of place. They leave the village because they want to light then unfinished castle walls on fire...stupid. The only thing that I can think of is that this was a setup to fool the enemy commander into thinking their weak now. If this isnt the case then the episode really is crap.

exactly the kind of thing i wanted to say. He isn't just being a dickhead, hes been wanting revenge most of his life. It isn't going to be like 'hey it's all good you killed my father' -_-

The episode was average though. Most of it was pretty sloppy but i found the twist bit to be interesting. (Well i actually guessed that twist a few eps back even if it aint the exact 'truth') It is stupid that Arawn survived though like many said. It did ruin the impact of the scene. However i will agree with other people that he wouldn't die so easily. I actually thought he was gonna die and come back. But no way did i think he would die off for good.

Arthur's reaction to the whole situation is understandable. He father was killed in front of him, when he was a small child. Arawn also egged him on, by telling him to come and try to avenge his father.

What I don't understand is, why did he killed Arthur's father? He doesn't seem like a bad guy. In fact it's out of his character to be so evil.

Well Arthur sure had reason to kill him...instead of calling Arthur the idiot, Riannon deserves that title. Again she's show an inability to think for himself, now has fallen in love with her dad's killer, and would rather have Arthur kill her than let Arawn die. She continues to defy all reason and logic.

But now do we not only have a continuity issue, but why the heck would arawn kill their father.

And if Arawn does die then there goes the only interesting character.

They left out a couple of sequences from the game which made it clear that Arthur's father was killed by a white angel and that he had sworn revenge and hated the white angels. His reaction to the mural in Arawn's tomb was part of that foreshadowing. As to jumping to conclusions, some folks are as quick to do so as Arthur (and there is a good reason why Arthur is not going to be the one leading the tribe--he's just too hotheaded). There is no doubt that a white angel killed his father, but why would he make sure to leave Arthur alive and tell him very plainly "Hey, I'm Arawn. Remember me, and the next time you see me take revenge for your father!" Ogam, Arawn, and the elves aren't the only ones who can interpret prophecies or take action based on them. Why didn't Arawn fight? Well aside from being pretty weak from the cleansing, he also has been feeling overwhelming guilt this whole time for some things from his past that have yet to be revealed. With Arthur absent, and Arawn on death's door, who will step up to lead the fight against Gaius? Watch next episode to find out.

The dumb idiot is back and what the hell was everybody doing just standing there watching the retard mumble and attack their boss. Kid stab his chief then yell stupidly (again).

This show is alright so far but whenever Arthur speaks or do anything it's generally very stupid and very obnoxious to watch. I almost have to stop watching every time he does dumb shits like that, which happens way too often. Thank god he's just a side character and our MC has a good head on his shoulders. Though everyone still seems to be suffering from the "poor communication" syndrome that plagues many anime. They just can't seem to say what needs to be said until it's too late or the plot demands it.

If no one else, why was Ogam just standing there doing nothing? Other people there might have been mindless monkeys but the show has established that Ogam is a wise sage who know a lot of things, is calm, and knows what to do in each situation.
