Oh boy, Dakki is back Oh wait, it's actually Yozen.

Dakki really does return though with her group and to be honest, every time I see her, she's up to something malevolent. Drama hit the roof this episode though...

Yozen's abilities kinda impresses me.
Compared to the previous two episodes, this one felt more lightearted and had less violence.

Why bothering doing an animation if you not gonna tell even half of the story? Too fast!

The pacing was slower than previous episodes, but I still don't get why the whole thing is so fast

Seems like they are skipping a whole 15 chapters in next episode..
Next episode's title is Buseio's rebellion which is chapter 29 in the manga...

This week's episode (episode 3) covered, chapters 13,14 and 15 (Basically Yozen's introduction), while also covering chapters 29 and 30...
I hate they omit some of the 4th wall breaking scenes the manga was so famous for, e.g.

Dakki playing ninja

Seems they are skipping the whole Raishinshi arc..
That's too bad because I was hoping to see these particular Street Fighter-esque panels animated

Jeez this show is messed up. Both his sister and wife killed themselves? You gotta put Dakki down after this. Or kill the king so she can't stay there. It's really hard for me to find this show funny.
So many boobs in fairy tail, it's crazy.

Jesus christ, week after week I get more and more horrified looking at how clusterfuckerous this show is getting.

I'm only understanding the plotline because I've already read the whole manga some years ago and I'm really fond of it, otherwise, I would be completely lost and not caring at all about the characters.

Hakyu Houshin Engi is a complete butcher of a really great manga, and the direction is very bad, picking events from the beggining, from the middle and from later and mixing them altogether, making this monstrous mess.

At least the visuals are great and it has some really nice shots, but otherwise I only feel sad seeing a manga that I love being this butchered.

Why the low score ?! It is not that bad


Also, the original anime have same story as the remake or different ?! I might check it out if it covers different stuff from the manga.

I just can't keep up with this. As others have said, the pacing (and transitions) are just off. I've never read the manga, but this definitely feels like I'm missing something/was expected to have already read the manga. The animation is nice, I love the OP, and it's great to see these 90s style character designs again, but...

Dropped

(Also, I can't get over the giant Kingdom Hearts shoes everyone is wearing.)

Well, even the manga readers have problems with this show. That's good to know. Now I feel less concerned for discontinuing this show. ^_^

because this show's fast pace crammed a season's worth of material into 4 episodes...thus turning off everybody especially the manga readers and make people not care about (and/or hate) the characters and story
