| Lavina and the squad got assigned on a mission to gather information. Seems like it's an important way for them to also uncover truths and and using esponiage as a way to be more stealthy in public. Seems Lavina doesn't care about how she looks lol It also seems like this show is continously building more into a more complex plot this season. Hard to take Lavina's outfit seriously though. Also, more Mishy cameos is welcome! |

| Such emotion in the Laviiii~~ kick. |
| The line below is True. The line above is False. |
| it kind of felt like a saturday morning cartoon with all of its campiness. seriously what a half baked plan. |
 |
| THey clearly don't have any animation budget for this series so I hope they don't try to make too many fight scenes for the series, but aside from the fight scenes I really enjoyed this episode. It felt very much in line with some of the sillier side quests from the games. |
| As always falcom never miss with their soundtrack. It's been a while since listening to trails ost, really glad they put the game music on this. |
 |
| oh gosh...we're just on the 3rd ep and this show kinda sucks... 2/5. |

Kakeru_00115 said: Musse isn't in Ordis RN, she's in St. Astraia's till she transfers to the branch campus Feels like a real Trails game. Also why Musse isn't shown? Dude it's Ordis her hometown heck some NPCs gets shown but not main characters? Also I thought Valimar and Rean actions during the civil war didn't reach Ordis that much since Ordis is under Duke Cayenne? So how the hell we get a children's puppet play with Valimar as the hero? But hey at least it shows Altina(again) |
| lets put the animation problem aside, the plot of the 3rd eps is really bad, what mission they did on that party? there is no clue about it, what the hell with that clown villain? what the point of bringing up that clown villain? Lavi is fighting with the clown on that zeppelin then how it comes with the clown jump in to the party? how about their fight? and many more plot holes, it really is half baked story, downgrade from the first 2 episodes, i'm disappointed. the staff throw up the potention of the story itself, this 3rd eps is really useless, what do the staff wanna deliver to us in this eps? got no point on it. seriously... i thought it's gonna be good anime with serious and heavy plot, bruh such a bad writing skill, one piece filler is much better than this.. p.s. i didnt follow the game, so its my first time to know The legend of heroes |

| Felt like a filler episode |
| Imagine being the JRPG franchise that has the best world building up until this point (Cold steel 2). And you manage to not only set a bad foundation in the first few episodes, but show backstory plot points in such a weird way (the animation cuts and the scenes were directed awfully..) That even those seem to lose any meaning. I mean you had 3 episodes, if you would go of that alone you only have. Big nation taking over smaller nations, has a hero. He evil (he not but i guess that's the plot point they are going for), go check it out. Really? Thats all there is to offer ? You could have shown a little bit about Osborne here, him getting shot, Rufus taking control, the civil war. Or something else like Crossbel freezing the assets and liquidity for both Calvard and Erebonia. Live it up a little, and spend less time on goofy jagers. Because now the meting and the contrast of the corps shots dont make any sense what so ever. There is no urgency in the meting, nothing is driving the conversation.. This is really weak by Trails standard.. And i am confused as to why they would do that.. On a positive note the OST and Ordis are great! |
 |
| All buildup thrown out the broken window. They really made a circus of the show now. P.S. Quest reward had poor stats for Lavi and was handled to another party member. P.P.S. Ultra bad episode trying to ride with references instead of substance. |
| Weird pacing. I get that the games (only played Trails in the Sky but for Steel afaik it also was the case) have slow pacing - with the main story only developing slowly. Some smaller enemy appearing - nothing unusual. But: They were too fast here. Should have shown the journey to that city. Especially fi they want to make more episodes than one cour. (Maybe it will only be 1-cour then I guess?) Then the behaviour of the chars felt weird and stuff felt forced. Lavi suddenly running away. Suddenly meeting the clown ... that planned something. Just too convenient. + I don't like her behaviour. They should at least try to explain more about her past and focus more on her. Instead of "there was stuff with her father and now she wants to be a solder and acts cold and reserved". Then the attacks and saying an attack name like in a battle shounen. :D And the clothe choice. Weird ... The only thing that felt natural was a bit of the icecream - when exploring. To not have been used to that and ordering too much accidentally. Clothes stuff felt like they wanted to make her look cute to sell her better to certain types of viewers though lol. (That glasses with animal ear design.) |
| Dumpster fire of an episode |
| Ordis haven't been back here since 2 years back. Quite the party that they infiltrated. Man that was quite the outfits that Iseria picked out for Lavi. Still it was fun seeing Lavi explore Ordis and see how different things are within the empire. Really is like a whole new world in the empire though compared to the north. Still to think that they ended having to save the city from would be rebels though. Though it looks like this little crisis ending up putting them on Altina's radar. Overall an interesting shift in tone compared to the first two ep's but one that did well to showcase just how different things are in the empire to them when compared to their homeland. Though its slow looks like Lavi's starting to break out of her shell. |

| I don't know about you guys, but it felt very Trails to me. The weak minor villain, the exploration of the city, the BGMs. All fit in the world. Then we have bae Altina at the end. |
| I dont get it.... did they run out of ideas and just dumped random stuff on us? I do like Lavi and love that end song but methinks this may not be worth watching any further. |
| May the Uguu be with you. |
| It was fine until the clown terrorist showed up... No problem if they want us to discover the universe the characters live in, I don't mind sort of slice of life episodes. But god, the clown villain and his cat minions was ridiculous. I'd wish for them to simply stick to war & political stuff, I'm sure there is enough content about these topics. |
 |
| The animation from this episode was rough to watch. The story itself was ok/filler-like, I hope the quality improves for the next episodes. I love the games and this anime is hard to watch sometimes. |
 |
| Not sure whether to continue watching this or not. This episode was so boring. |
  |
| This episode was a massive disappointment. It seems like they don't have enough content for 12 episodes, so they're stalling with random jokes and seemingly irrelevant one episode villain. This could actually have worked, had we already taken a liking to our characters and their situation, with the group synergy already well acknowledged and appreciated. Unfortunately since the first 2 episodes were not spent on this, a third episode doing that will just fall 100% flat. And this didn't feel like something from Trails at all. If it didn't happen in Ordis, you could have had the exact same thing in any single setting. Meaning, it also failed to acclimate the viewer to the peculiarities of this world, of the political landscape, etc. It served no visible purpose, and was out of tempo for the viewer. 1/5 and I'm not giving that kind of score often at all. This episode's direction and story telling really were terrible choices. |

| What a dogshit episode. Stupid plot like from kids cartoon and shitty animation with constant panning shots. Also Lavi is shit MC. She feels like awful mary sue from blockbusters by Disney. Talion or better Kazuma voiced Ivano would be better as MC. |

 (also Lavi with icecream) by attending a party, i thought they meant... attending a party and not spying from outside, but i guess only some went inside lol oh wow the dressing part, fun to watch as usual, imagine Lavi with her hair down and those strange clothes, damn how cute is she? (yep i have to put that as the episode picture, it's decided) LOL Lavi can't strike a pose tho Lavi getting sleepy, funny enough i yawned at the same time as her :D oh, so sleepy that she couldn't stay there anymore (wonder if she went to find something to do ... or just sleep somewhere, that would be so troll haha i guess paying attention to the town is also important, but she clearly was having fun, eating popcorn and playing hide and seek LOL the guy freaking out and doing a backflip when he heard the popcorn was hilarious tho wtf, that part with the icecream tho, monsters and splatters, she even asked Lavi her age, true spy code talk, Anya should learn this lmfao that's some big icecream come on now, don't tell me the best part of this story is the politics, this goofing around the town part is 10x better than anything those old man can talk in the room lol (i mean, maybe it's a different story for someone who played the games, but even then, they should like the charas more than me in that case) after eating 9 balls of that ice, and hearing him talk about how different their hometown is from this city, Lavi decides she had enough and left him to enjoy the rest haha tbh i thought Lavi would be more of a serious girl while in the mission, meanwhile she just trolling lol i guess it's not everyday she has the chance to explore a new place whoa, next thing, Lavi is talking with 2 guys, then her teammate saved her and she left again, as expected... also funny how the guys hit him and he was like "i'm sorry, i can't fight noobs" LOL 10:50 that clown had a scary face, surprised the kids were not scared that part with the kids watching the fish story was totally cute too, and Lavi got to see what people think about the big hero robot that Iseria for sure is enjoying the party, while Martin is just bored out of his mind :D ofc, the clown had a scary face for a reason, because he is planning bad things, in this case, wanting to explode the party place, oh no, that's not good, even if some of the nobles probably deserve it what will Lavi do now? she climbed on that ballon, while the guy beat all the small cat suits lol interestingly enough, those explosions didn't seem to do any damage, were they just toys? i'm confused now, didn't Lavi attack the clown in the ballon? (i guess that's why the ballon crashed like that...) still, why did he join the party like it was nothing? and why were the nobles laughing at the clown while he said dumb words about them? geez Lavi entrance and kick looked cool tho that fight was goofy as hell but kinda funny yeah the dynamites were indeed toys, but some of them weren't ... Lavi didn't feel like waiting to discover, and finally used her gun as a reward, she got the one cool necklace that Iseria wanted, i wonder if she will give it to her LOL she did right away, and not the way i was expecting well, i guess the day (night) was saved because Lavi didn't want to stay at the party, good call on her part :D tall boy is now called tally, interesting , at least it's easy to remember, thanks Lavy wonder who is that girl at the end, she looks like a robot with that hood |

MSH420 said: As someone who has played every game up to Cold Steel 4 this anime is really not good. We had the obligatory character introductions but this episode in particular serves no purpose. It really feels like they decided whatever outline Falcom gave them wouldn't fill up twelve episodes and scrambled to fill time.Link___ said: lets put the animation problem aside, the plot of the 3rd eps is really bad, what mission they did on that party? there is no clue about it, what the hell with that clown villain? what the point of bringing up that clown villain?

But it is great for players of the games, I'm enjoying it thoroughly. The animation might be whatever but it's the presentation that sells it. The environments, the music, the ambiance straight from the games, and tons of references and callbacks. To anyone who hasn't played the games, it's just a mediocre anime, and some players might agree too. I think it's perfectly fine for what it does, which is tell the story of what happened between two games, which is only mentioned in passing in the games themselves. The games don't take themselves seriously, and neither does the anime it seems. which is fine |
| Wow that was... really bad |
| What is this sudden and extreme tonal shift and over the top stupidity? I thought this anime was supposed to be fairly serious about politicking, war, underhanded plots and stuff... |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| I like LAvi.....however that episode felt utterly pointless. |
