| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- More background storytelling based on Orphen's past. I must say, his relationship with Azalie is actually more important than I had expected in this series. It even shows the orphanage that came from. Anyways, the more we know about Orphen, the better. |
 |
| A long flashback of Orphen and Azalie, it was fine but it's a pity that their relationship ended up like this... now it's time for the real adventure I guess, with two new characters. |
 |
| The episode wasn't bad, it eventually closes the arc about Azalie's chase but... it basically just ends to affirm that she & Orphen/Krylancelo have always shared a strong bound comparable to sister-brother. Something we could have guessed from the previous episodes. I honestly think this episode should have been the 3rd one, last scene with Majic & Cleao being replaced with Orphen joining the squad to start the hunt. |
 |
| dropped. not worth my time. |
| What I got from this episode was that Azalie is a character I'll hate unless if she has an excuse for what she did. I miss Camicron now. |
 |
| This show is worthless, I hate flashback episodes and this one was poorly placed. Anyway I'm done with this show, it's not getting any better. Dropped |
| Haven't seen flashbacks like this since Ou-sama Game... Why didn't they showed us this in the first episode? |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| Damn, Azalie, you're going way too far; tricking him into thinking you died is an asshole thing to do, anyway you slice it. :/ At least Cleo and Majic will get more screentime now. They're like twins in this ep. lmao Why didn't they showed us this in the first episode? @el_morris Because he's reflecting on the relationship they HAD, compared to the bad one they have now? @Xstasy I disagree it 'had no purpose' because it was hinting that Azalie has a twisted personality from the get-go...and it was the first one to do so. If it was shown BEFORE her Face Heel Turn in episode 03, it would have been too obvious. Just because it's a flashback doesn't make it 'filler'; no doubt this stuff was in the novel too. |

| @Xstasy I liked learning about Orphen's childhood though, since I've been a fan of him since the 90s and was never shown anything of the sort in other adaptations. :< Backstory is ALWAYS important; how else can you tell a backstory without a flashback; aside from a character voicing exposition (which would be boring and stupid?) |

prrgangsta said: Also it didn't convey any new info. It did; Orphen's childhood and also how Azalie liked to test people. We didn't know that stuff before? But unless they do another season, there's no way they can fit 20 novels of material into thirteen episodes...that's for sure. |
|
| I will be honest, after every episode I want to rewatch Slayers more and more. In my opinion this story is just too cliché to have remake today. |

prrgangsta said: Why should we care now that the problem has been solved in the previous episode? Well, I care, okay? I'd like to know what made her decide to actually murder her whole class. I'm sure I'm not the only one watching this who wants to know that. I wouldn't say the problem is 'solved'; yeah she's not a dragon-beast anymore but she's still not the person she was five years ago. It will only really be solved if we get the reason for her betrayal. |

| Another Azalie episode. Annoying! |

It will only really be solved if we get the reason for her betrayal. She DIDN'T WANT to murder her whole class. Azalie didn't control her dragon form. She was trying a spell and had a major fuck up. You wanna know why she tried the spell? She wanted to prove how great a sorcerer she was to Childman because SHE WAS IN LOVE WITH HIM. I have seen the original anime and near the end you learn she had a major crush on him but he rejected her because he wanted her to focus on becoming a great sorcerer Yes, I remember that...but it was stupid to waste a whole 24 episode season on Azalie's problem. lol I'm glad they aren't doing that THIS time because I never liked her that much. If anyone wants to read the novels, you can get the translated e-book version from Amazon at 7$ each. Thank God, because my bookshelf is way too crowded lol |

| More of Azalie and Krylancelo a.k.a Orphen's backstory while under the tutelage of Master Childman, a backstory that's dragging on for far too long. But more like how Orphen's child mentality and Azalie's testing made both of them face fate like never before. But then, I'm always asking myself, why reboot old series when the originals are all that's worth? The producers who wanted a reboot to something that no one wanted serves as a recipe for disaster, not entirely Studio Deen's fault. |
 |
| This episode just further proved how much of a dickhead Azalie is. I like Orphen enough to not drop this just yet but if the next episode doesn’t hook me that’ll probably be it |
| It's a shame their relationship is in tatters. I like the themes and characters, though |
  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |
Here's some character info...that the show hasn't told us but the novel does. Orphen is 20 years old. That surprised me; I thought he was around 17. Nope, he's an adult. Cool :D The 'kid', Volkan is actually 18. He's a dwarf so that's why he's short. Lol Claiomh is 17 and Majic is 14. KANLen09 said: The producers who wanted a reboot to something that no one wanted. Speak for yourself! A lot of people wanted it; the novel sold 14 million copies. |

| Loli Azalie so adorable |
 |
| Azalie and Orphen's backstory was pretty interesting. I'm still not sure how to feel about Azalie yet and I really like Orphen so far. I wonder what's gonna happen to Azalie now, I hope she doesn't come back as a villain. |
 |
| For me at least this was the best episode yet. The show would be much more fun if Azalie was around and not being the enemy. |
| wtf is happening anymore |
 |
| So we learned more about Orphen and Azalie's backstory. Interesting. Cleao and Majic officially joined Orphen in his journey. |
 |
| Alright so whats the actually plot now? |
| all the 5 years ago flashbacks just makes me feel sad, cause we know what's happening in the present time... where all things goes to shit... especially knowing some of the main characters is now dead or gone. also, I literally have no idea what's going on with this series now... (I didn't watch the 1998 ver) (been skimming through the episodes by 10 secs, finished the entire episode in less than 10 mins... cause there's nothing really new/ interesting about the current ?plot? to watch, does it even have a plot?) ___ ___ ___ Also, this reminds me of "Watashi, Nouryoku wa Heikinchi de tte Itta yo ne!" Where they also apparently decide to remove arcs and turn them into flashbacks... which I didn't like and -1 score cause of that. |

Marinate1016 said: Anyone else find themselves confused as fuck constantly when watching this? Like I really don't understand half of what's going on Yeah. You're not alone. Especially in the previous episode. ...but that could be because this show isn't holding my attention. |
| Ain't gonna lie, when Azalie disappeared in the graveyard, I thought she was gonna ask Orphen to play hide and seek with her. You know old classic "try and find me" style. Funny how the rest of the ep kinda felt like that, with Azalie playing mindtricks on Orphen in a hide and seek sort of way. |
 |
So, another random flashback that would have been better if the series had a proper chronological order. Unfortunately, it turned out to be very boring. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Somewhat boring background story. I didn't watch the original anime and I only played the PS2 game, but gives me a nostalgic 90's feel to it. |
| Flashback episode on Orphen and Azalie's past, under the guise of a messed up 'prank' what Azalie has done really shows she has some major issues. How Majic and Cleao joined Orphen there at the end really feels out of nowhere since we only saw them interact with him a few times |
