Finally, this show is back.

It looks like Mahmut pays a visit to a lighthouse. One of the interesting part of this episode is his brief encounter with Glalat. I'm glad to see the show properly introducing Cyrus this episode. Definitely could be a useful ally for Mahmut.

That was a really good episode.

The leader of the lighthouse town totally used Mahmut's appearance in their country to instigate war with the empire. While their plan was good, the reinforcements from the allied country still haven't arrived.

Was nice of Mahmut to offer to travel and negotiate for troops if necessary.

Really liked the part where he displayed his conviction to the spy dude.

Well, the empire has the upper hand in this war and the lighthouse town's ally more likely betrayed them. It all depends on what Mahmut will do.

Cyrus seems like a total badass.

Damn those 2 weeks break sure felt long.

Very nice episode, and a lot happened in it as well, he went to the new country, the started warring with the Empire, now locked there like rats about to be exterminated. Mahumuto also made a new good friend who will help him later on a lot.

Lets see will the Doge of Venedik honor his alliance.

The show is back. Mahmut came to a new country and he triggered a war. He couldn't do anything to stop it. With the help from Cyrus, he's going to try to secure reinforcements from the Venedik Armada. He's going to be a useful ally.

We really do jump from arc to arc very quickly. Completely new situation now in Phoinike.

The masterpiece anime finally came back from hiatus! Liked some of the development from MC and happy to see someone joined him! But no action displayed this episode but liked the strategic discussions stuff.

Useless uncanon stuff to mention:

I liked the setup for future events that we got from this episode and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Mahmut is like Absol. Once he enters a country, disaster starts...

I really like the Kulak network. It means that Mahmut will have at least one ally in every major city he goes to. Kiros's test was pretty clever. Unstable ground, Mahmut falls, and make him hang for dear life. At least Mahmut thought before speaking this time. I really like how the anime quickly brings back Mahmut's past experiences to help him with the current situation. I hope this continues on throughout the series.

Mahmut and Kiros are both right. You lose control of Centro, and Turkiye is going to get surrounded. Mahmut is loyal to Turkiye and wants to protect it, and in order to do so, he needs to protect Phoinike. Damn, I am so tempted to start playing Age of Empires again!

The budget for this anime seems high. You can tell by animation and seiyuus. Japan would be sad knowing it has below 7 score on MAL. My favorite anime of the season along with Made in Abyss. Shame that most of people will overlook it.

It would also be nice if the score was higher than seven at least but whatever.
And famous seiyuus. Famous seiyuus everywhere.

Decent return to the series.
The internal politics of the city isn't as overtly toxic as in Turque, though in this case Mahmut has no say in any of it as he is merely a guest here, and not even a consultant.

After seeing what happened back in his homeland, he sort of knows how the Empire operates, but no one is willing to listen when he has doubts the city's allies may deflect on their old oaths.

Nice to see him take his own initiatives to save the city.
Looking forward to see how things go down.

Phoinike is in a pinch, but Mahmut is there to save the day.

The scene at the end was very nice.

Solid episode overall. Think I'm getting more and more into this show, maybe the break helped too.

I really like the story and the setting ( i gave 10 to manga) but im really disliking the super fast pacing of the anime and a lot of things are not explained that well so that makes it kinda confusing. Well its Mappa after all, never forget Teekyuu

Mahmut is a jinxer and gets used by lighthouse folks. Interesting politics, their tradition with some type of oligarchy/democracy, proper voting procedure.
The dad scratching his tattoo was unsettling.

I like how it seems that Mahmut's arc appears to involve him becoming more of a patriot, thinking about the good of his nation instead of his own selfish concerns. It's refreshing to see in this era of national disintegration in the West.
