THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Oh boy, Aishela is pissed and she should be. I kinda feel bad that she got injuried in her fight.

This episode also gave Margaret some screen time...about time!
I honestly felt bad for Siluca. The stress she's going through with the negotation and having to travel to another country is hard to bear.

I think this show improved a bit since its first few episodes. The mixture of the drama and actual war battles made this episode more entertaining. Marrine looked badass in her fighting outfit, she should wear that more often.

Someone mind explaining the end of the episode to me?
Specifically why Theo turned down the initial deal.

I feel like this adaptation is moving a bit too quickly. Isn't this going to be 24 episodes? Why the rush?

Pretty good episode.

Action parts are definitely the best in this series.
Siluca hugging Theo and her blushes this episode were so adorable. <3

From what I understood, the other Lord saved Theo's army during the battle on the condition that Siluca would become his mage. He proposed to allow Theo stay an independent Lord and they work together in a union rather than have Theo serve him like some of the other Lords under his control, the only flipside to this was that Siluca would serve him as his court mage. Theo refuses saying he doesn't want to give up Siluca and that he would instead pledge knighthood to the other Lord as long as he's given enough power as a knight to remain in contract with Siluca.

Ah, so basically siluca was going away no matter what and theo just wants to stay with her. That explains why she was blushing at the end.

Feels rushed but the good thing about this show is that they are always doing something, lots of action. They don't waste time with big dialogues or some generic fan service. Best EP so far imo. 4/5
Also sounds like someone is liking Theo-sama.

This was a fast-paced episode. The action was pretty good though. Lassic is very good in combat. It was dumb of Aishela to fight like that.

The show did an excellent job at displaying the setting's politics and discussing the characters' allegiances, especially concerning Theo's fief. The action sequences were great, as usual. It's good to see the characters use strategy instead of hitting their enemies hard and fast. In the end, though, I find it weird that Theo would surrender his territories and go back to being a knight, but I guess it's one way to move his relationship with Siluca forward. Close call on Aishela! Good thing Priscilla was there, otherwise she would have died without any real bearing on the plot.

To fast pace. Only battles more or less and no context. It´s 24 eps I can handle 2-3 slow paced world bulding/character episodes. Avarage show for now only the corny romance that keep me going :/

The pacing is still way too fast in my opinion. Didn't read the light novel myself, but the story itself does look promising and interesting to me. I'm actually hoping at this point for a LN translation for this reason. Hopefully the pacing is better there.

I dunno, everything feels too rushed. Seems like Theo is too dependent of Siluca, almost anyone claims to be so loyal of Theo even though he's not so..wow? and everything's so fast-paced I struggle to keep up. I wish we could get to know more about the characters and their past.

I really liked episode 3 and thought this show is gonna improve, but now that Theo has lost almost everything (that he didn't try too hard to obtain, it was 70-80% Siluca's work), I don't know what to think anymore.

I won't drop this anime, but people won't rate it higher than 5 if it doesn't keep improving. I think it has great potential.

I feel the same about the progress of this anime. The MC is rather useless and honestly it just feels more and more like a huge Theo harem for no actual reason. Every episode is the same so far. They start some battle and are about to lose it then suddenly reinforcements show up and save the day and everyone praises lord Theo, when it was all Siluca's work.

Yeah, Siluca did everything and at first, I thought she was using Theo for his kindness just to obtain something, but I was wrong, and now Siluca's even falling for him.

Rapid pacing does not equal development. Like at this stage, I feel like the content of the first 4 episodes could have been stretched to be at least 6 or 7 episodes so far. Like this is rushing that goes beyond your typical LN adaptations. I'm trying to give this series some sort of optimism but it's just overly 2-dimensional at this rate and lacks a lot of depth. It's all but a drop in my book. And...what the hell was up with that animation? Talk about missing frames or feeling too stiff, I thought the damn show was skipping. I want to drop this anime but again I'm hoping it becomes like Altair: Record of Battles and slows down after this week for some legitimate development. Other than that, it's a solid 4 out of 10 at this point.
Don't believe the hype.

So Theo's request to join the alliance was denied then. It seems there is no love between Siluca and his adapted father though. So Siluca's opinion of the earl was completely wrong huh. That siege battle though was pretty well thought out though and it was impressive that they managed to hold out. The earls forces though sure made a timely entrance though. But Marrine's relationship with Villar was unexpected. Rather than being King of Savis Theo elected to become a knight serving the duke huh. Priscilla seems intent on following Theo though.

Neyman is the guy who had a big scar across his eye and always had his eyes shut.
I have no idea where he came from prior to episode 3.

Fun how no one is using spell here. Not even the smaller one. (You sure have at least a small area spell, right, Siluca?)
What is the use of these mages other than as object of masturbation, then? No wonder Villar releases the girl mages after they hit 25.

ps.: they don't even do the 3DCG properly, the staff. The scheduling of this anime is as rushed as its pacing in the story department.

Neyman (neman on manga) only side character after all, he is one of the lord from rasik territory and the only one that surrender after rasik defeated (other lord trying to take rasik territory after hearing his loses) u can check chap 10 to see what happen.. I dunno what happen next because this anime cut the whole chapter and far ahead from the manga..

Theo is still a useless MC. Siluca is pretty cute, but I don't know if she alone can carry this show. The pacing really needs to slow down in order to make the viewers care about what's happening in the story.

... I want to like this show, it has alot of potential, but everything happens way too fast. It's all over the place. I mean, we had 3 fkin battlefield fights in a row this episode xD... I don't even remember who the fk that Neyman dude is...

biggest gripe for me this episode, which I don't see people mention much, is when that arrow hit her, and they just cut out.... I was like... ''Ah... ok?''. It carried no emotional impact for me, nor was it much of a surprise honestly, it just happened out of nowhere and hit way too fast... didn't give me time to process anything... would have at least liked to see the arrow hit through instead of just cutting the scene to where she's lying down on her deathbed ????

It reminded me of The Last Jedi, abit... you know, those supposed payouts that just feel out of place and totally lackluster due to no proper buildup or follow-through... Ugh...This show lacks so much depth and story/character building. It's slightly annoying... especially since, like I said it has so much wasted potential :(

The only thing i like in this episode is Silucas being turned down because she thinks people would just agree to her as her advantage and the king of savis actually being a good fighter heck if he and Theo fought one on one he might actually win. The battle is slightly more better than that of episode 3 Theo won game of thrones style cavalry reinforcements saves the day. Ever notice that in almost every war anime the MC side always have more heroic warriors than the enemy Theo has 2 mages, 2 swordmen, 1 berserker, 1 lancer, 1 assassin, and 1 archer while the other has Silucas father whom i assume to be a mage and just a bunch of mooks and elite mooks with hand cannons

Boy, what an awful rush. I can hardly give a damn about MC and magician chick, let alone everyone else coming and going too fast to register them as anything more than background noise. I skipped one episode by accident and noticed it only because of number on my list. With or without it story wasn't any more or less coherent or engaging. Even magician chick makes a lousy eye candy so I don't see any reason to watch it.

Siluca still has a lot to learn, she couldn't get help from either of them, she still has a lot to learn.

This is one tough enemy they are up against, giant boulder was obliterated & even Aishela got beat bad, thank good Priscilla was there the save her.

Great tactics there by Lassic, even got to defeat the king.

Villar came just at the right time, he was planning well ahead, & learned that he is cousins with Marianne.

A couple of romance moments between Theo & Siluca this episode.

Theo is very good at negotiating, that went well for him, Villar seems to be a pretty cool guy anyway, I'm sure they will get along fine & will help each other out a lot.

Why are they rushing this so much ?

When I first this was getting an anime adaptation, I checked out the manga and while it was nothing amazing, I found it to be enjoyable so I was looking forward to this. So disappointing...

In the manga Theo spends his time with the villagers helping them out, which in turn makes the villagers like him and want to fight for him, so he was useful to an extent. Here its not shown at all so you keep wondering what's the point of his character at all.. I'n not dropping this because I'm only watching like 3 anime series this season :(

I feel it's more because we still haven't really gotten to know Aishela at all. She's just some random hero soldier who Siluca knows as a friend who loves to fight. And that's really about it, we haven't been given a reason to care what happens to her.

Well that was the last episode for me, want to say that it is the most random anime story or how it was displayed in very long time. People talking about some political stuff about some Alliance and Union, completely random battle scenes, the animation quality drops on a lot of scenes. The scene where Aishella was critically wounded was supposed to be sad, but again it was so out of nowhere and random and the next second she was magically healed ... The battle on the narrow road/bridge to the castle, why did they add that cinematic effetcs to the end of the fight, that again was so random ... And it really wasn't cool how it was supposed to be, i wanted only to laugh at that moment.
Well i'll just stop wasting my time on this anime, cause after 4 episodes there is only dissapointment. And cannot believe that it still has 20 episodes more ...
