That's right Theo, protect Siluca. You know you can't do anything without her. (fire demon explosion!)

I really like how this anime is not wasting multiple episodes on each "battle" like so many other anime out there. Keep up the pace!

Woa... that dude's legs got cut off!

I don't trust this "Lady Marrine".
Something has to not go Siluca's way at some point...

I didn't realize Siluca's hair was so long.

I'm not just watching for Siluca... honest.

I gotta say, I may have underestimated this show a bit.

It definitely still leans towards the more generic side, nothing too generic, but no real ingenuity.

But like, at least they're compensating for it by not skimping on the fighting. I'm sitting here watching this episode waiting to see Aishela be a fucking badass again, and low and behold all of a sudden I'm yelling OH SHIT SHE JUST CUT HIS FUCKING HEAD OFF! OH GOD HE GOT STABBED IN THE FUCKING EYEBALL! OH MY FUCKING GOD SWEET JESUS SHE SWEPT HIS FUCKING LEGS OFF!!!!!!

This episode was a bit jarring though with the scene changes. Like one minute they're rallying at night with the flag waiting for people, and then by the morning they have a shit load of fighters out of nowhere, who arent even from the free lords. Then all of a sudden the free lords show up too.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that given the visuals in the OP, and given that final scene, that that Marrine bitch is probably evil, or at minimum the more villainous of the two factions, and given her attire and demeanor wouldn't be surprised if she was somehow in a pact with the chaos/demon people as well.

The pacing in the anime is ridiculous. They didn't spend two seconds on any of the new characters. I was kind of looking forward to more screen time for the tattooed chick. It be nice if they slowed down a bit in the coming episodes and fleshed out some of the characters.

Wait....Whaat? Church is already here? They were just introduced in latest manga chapter....Oookay.....don't know if it's a good or bad.....not fan of anykind of Church tough...especially one that tries to gather Power to rule after Chaos has been dealt with and Grancrest made....

Oh man...I absolutely love the bondng between Theo and Siluca....oh man the plotting is fun...Like this Old Mage too...capable to Remind Siluca that she is overstepping a little...like that....

OWW!!! that Back Wound....Looks like staying somewhat Brutal and Loyal to Manga Graphics... Nice....and Here is that Salamander.......Aishela..is part of the fighting? In Manga is was Siluca herself that Beat it and handed it it's own ass...OKAy....Siluca get her Bad Ass Moment....nice.

Oh wow....Fight against Sevis King Already? We have cached up the manga already...Next episode will be then further in the story than manga

Damn, this felt rushed AF, it's not like you can't fill in the blanks of what's happening but it just feels unfulfilling. Perhaps they are trying to rush the first few volumes out so they can focus on later parts of the story?? I mean, I've certainly despaired about the anime adaptations finishing before they get to the true plot, but this isn't good either, and they have 24 friggin' episodes, they should have plenty of time to get to the juicy stuff.

I think this episode was not that good compare to first two episode. I feel like some details are cut off from what original story intended that is why as this show progressing I feel something development missing whether be it side characters developments or boring stuff. In other word - This should been even more slower paced!
I guess they are trying to make something action-paced show.

This anime reminds me a little bit of Utawarerumono. The original. Minus all the animal people. I mean you had people with crazy powers and a lot of political nonsense going on. I like these kind of anime.

Theo has no charisma at all... He is just a passive weakling following the girl plans...
Of course this is just the beginning, lets hope he develop.

the politics shown are pretty bad so far if you can even say there is any and judging from the reaction it seems to be mainly due to this fast pacing,feel like this is what's gonna kill this show despite showing some promise




but what the shit man the violence went from 0-10 real quick guy got his head cut off and another his legs swept clean without any censors

yep i'm thinking of dropping this lol only reason i'm still here is because of Siluca and Aishela, and even then... oh well i'll watch one more episode...

the enemy just stood there waiting for the "free lords" to come join, then a random fight, gets a lot of new territory and stuff...wtf
only cool thing on this episode was Aishela smashing everyone...lol

Can't wait for more action/battle scenes, because till now it was pretty easy.

You don't even need to read the source material or the manga to know it's jumping at speed of light lmao.
It's quite normal for anime to condense 14 chapters to 3 episodes but what they did with this anime is insane. So much important content is lost because of the time skips. I wouldn't even be surprised if near halfway in the show he's already Emperor πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

So uh...why did the lord he fight only bring regular troops? Was he just asking to get wrecked?

Also, the pacing is still really out of whack. I have no idea what's rushing them since this is a two-cour.

The more I watch this more I like it. Thought it started off meh, but I'm enjoying it more and more.

So I guess every single chick we see is a total babe. I'm definitely ok with that.

This show is more graphic than I thought it'd be.

The plot is soooooooo fast! The castle have guards? Why the muscular man that lost his right eye in last battle have again his eye? WTF?! The new girl is boring. The 'battle' is rushed. The main bad guy is useless. 2/5

I dunno, the first two episodes were pretty easy for me to follow; maybe they skipped stuff but it didn't feel rushed to me as an anime-only viewer. This episode, it's like they suddenly got a fire lit under their asses and cranked it up to some incomprehensible level. I had to actually play it at 0.9x speed on my media player just to keep up, and even then there was hardly any explanation for what was going on. I feel like there was maybe 3 or 4 times as much information for me to take in compared to previous episodes.

I also feel like there's a more interesting story than the anime itself going on in the production. The way it weirdly sped up is kinda fishy to me, and I bet there's some shenanigans involved.

I think the main problem so far is how scenes will suddenly switch without any real sense of transition. One moment it's the night before the battle and then sure enough, everyone is out there marching in broad daylight. Just feels like this needs to slow down a bit and let each scene breathe.

Mary Sue claims Crest Fanatics are crazy.

Mary Sue proceeds to prove to Theo that Crest Fanatics are crazy.

Theo lets them in anyways. At this point, this is beyond being useless to outright tripping your team up you inting bastard!

Religious Bitch apparently has a generic pretty face for gaining protagonist trust.

Laughing Swordsman & Stamina Mage seem to be fitting in.

Theo is looking pretty blank-slate still.

Old Mage Man doing the real legwork.

Mary Sue imposes ambitions on Theo's actions. Old Mage Man points out that people are saying she is the master mind and Theo is decoration. Mary Sue surprised Pikachu face.

Mary Sue starts falling for Theo for no reason.

Sees fiery demon monster. First thing Theo does is try to slash it, contrary to his more reserved fighting vs two headed demon in episode one

Mary Sue hyped up fire demon and then instantly kills it.

Maru Sue declares she will talk to Theo more instead of talking for him.

Ranks upon ranks of soldiers who will most likely become irrelevant come marching up onto the battle field.

Random ass Closed Eyed Swordsman introduced.

Rag-tag group of villagers assemble for war to keep the underdog story up.

Oh thats where Love Slave was.

Generic enemy soldiers dying left and right as per usual.

Free lords came out of nowhere on a flat field.

Big Lord easily beat... *Yawn*

Supposedly we're supposed to feel bad for Mary Sue on account of her cold relationship with her dad. Meh.

3/10 Disappointing battles so far and no development between Love Slave & Fan Girl.

Pretty much the end of my 3-episode rule... Meh.

but if u have seen shield hero u know what i mean next, it also have dumb ppl and ppl being dumb just different way dumb that in shield hero, it is sure unique anime, but meany don't like the ending, its yea happy to 2mains, a lot of pointless wars, if Marine would have not been dumb and taken the worlds/awry ones burden on her self to lure out the real enemy a lot of lives would have been saved, shes suborn wanting to do all by herself to protect others (ppl just hate that she was forgiven all the pointless deaths that could have been avoided), u should get the picture when u watch till the end

Actually I dropped the ln and the adaptations of tate no yuusha as well. It's an old post and I don't even remember why I dropped grancest senki, probably I loved this aishela's design but didn't liked her personality and/or other characters or events, wasn't interested in the plot and was watching all releases of that season or something else. I know it's probably a good series and can make a better impression if I watch more episodes as some friends says so, but I'm not interested nor have time to spend watching it. Let's end it here as it's a topic about the current episode and my post was old

things just sort of happen. they're not really developed. it's abrupt. moves from scene to scene without much to tie them together

the mc doesn't do much...anything?

i'm still interested in this show, but i hope it slows down a little and digs deeper into the characters and their schemes a little more. would really help the show out

nice that the independent lords came to his aide, but i'm sure they want something for their efforts, no? and that queen/princess lady didn't seem all that interest in theo pledging his loyalty to her at the end (via the mage girl). and i can't blame her. you can't just switch from side to side in a war and assume *anyone* will continue to find you trustworthy
