Unfortunately . But tbh the characters themselves are not an appealing part of the show , so its really just a moment of annoyance . I am very indifferent in their matter and just couldnt careless about them . Atleast for now .

I just liked those 2 characters because they look good , nothing more .

Well thats good for you. but so far the only thing she has grown me for is my immeasurable amount of hate for her and constant hope that one way or other she would die and make the story better .

I dont even know if i want to give her the benefit of the doubt........

You watch this anime for the wrong reason.

Yeah it's like watching Code Geass and hating Lelouch or watching Death Note and hating Light.

Romance and character are pretty heavy in this series. There's a whole volume dedicated to advancing both of those and nothing else.

Not gonna tell anybody what to watch but it doesn't sound like the show works for that poster.

Er yes , i would think that watching a supposed war-drama anime for just 2 hot tomboys isnt exactly a common reason .
But sadly , that is the only hook factor left in the show for me . that and my curiosity for the world building aspect .

And i didnt know that there was a constitution which pointed out what is and isnt the right reason to watch a show .

If you don’t like Lena this series going forward is a tough sell. Her and Shin are the sun. The other characters are the planets in orbit of them. I like Frederica, Vika, and Lerche personally but realistically they're all just side characters.

Lena does become a drastically better character than she was in season one. I didn't like her then but when she returns to the spotlight she grew on me.

Oh come on i thought we would be seeing less of lena this season or something ? why is her ugly face plastered all over the KV and both the PVs ....

Not gonna lie , if it wasnt for the fact that i am interested to know what the world has got to offer , might have just dropped this after that PV . The most annoying part of 1st season lena being present , the once again dissappointing op , the cheap looking misanthrope (villain ?) , and for fuck sake A GODDAMN LOLI ????

these 2 saved the PV . I am only here for them .

I hope it will change in the latter volumes.

anything past 3 she’s a central character. It’s basically just as much a romance series as much as it’s an action series. Probably one of the better done romances I’ve seen in anime / light novels / manga.

At this point, I'm not so much interested in romance (obviously the heroes are already slated to be the central couple), but how good the elements of science fiction and drama will be in the future.

side character I’d too generous. I’d say it’s a cameo appearance in those volumes. The epilogue at the end of book 1 which they haven’t adapted and I hope they don’t makes it worse.

I guess it's not really a spoiler to say that the things that happened with Lena weren't focused on in the light novel in vol 2 and 3. Her time as Bloody Reina was mostly offscreen events. Shiden is an important character going forward but the rest of the team she commanded simply wasn't.

Given the anime's pacing I'm guessing it will take time to slow things down and cover the Bloody Reina stuff which will mostly have to be anime original content.

Vol 2 and 3 were like 90% Shin and the other 86 and 10% Lena.

I starting suspect, that Lena actually just a side character in this arcs.

Shouldn't there be a lot more female characters in the next arc? I heard that there was supposed to be an all-female team.

I'm really hyping this, the story will reach another level. The opening from the little I heard here doesn't seem to be at the same level of the first one.

Sep 5, 2021 4:57 AM by KitsuFrost

This anime has exceed my expectations. I can't wait for season 2

Sep 5, 2021 3:23 AM by -khriz-
