Orphen got lucky this time tbh. After being attacked, he's cured by a mysterious girl and once again needs help to get back to their feet.

Meanwhile, I suppose even some of his memories are coming back so it's more than just a regular cure of physical wounds.

I liked the episode, I wanted more screen time for Cleo (my favorite character), but it was interesting. Obviously the best thing was when Cleo came and knocked the sword over the man's head ... XD

Orphen complains about women bringing trouble, but he's gonna invite Fienna to his pack. How about he go adventure with all-male party? That'd be a big win for me!

Cleao was funny when she knocked the guy out with her sword.

Orphen needs to save the shrine maiden.

I’m getting really sick of this “woe is me I’m so pathetic girl” troupe. Huge yawn and eye roll on this one. This show deserves its low rating honestly. Has yet to redeem itself in the slightest besides Cleo knocking that guy out lol

Man, did Orphen land himself in a very precarious situation. Once again, he got lucky and was healed by a mysterious girl, but that does not mean he's out of trouble yet. Losing his memories over the mental attack is a serious issue. Plus, the village kids are still annoyances.

The Shrine Maiden Fienna...she's clearly in a much worse situation, being controlled by MacDougal and the village (which wants to exterminate the power of the Forest through the Deep Dragon).

To know that Salua knows of Orphen's historical heritage through the Tower of Fangs...was interesting, but Cleo taking the "backstabbing" metaphor legitimately on Salua was kinda was a waste of time. On the same topic, with Fienna being a sacrifice, Orphen can't lie taking it down, with women being troublemakers in his life, and saving one right now and soon.

I'd just like the 2 useless kids, Volkan & Dortin to die and leave this show forever but that can't be happening. Ah and if Majic could take another bullet just to be quieter, I'd be happy too.

Only good parts of this episode were Cleao stunning the so-called Death Instructor by sneakily (or not) arriving in his back and boom, headshot.

if you dislike it, you can drop it. Orphen is one of the most innovative series, this series gave the beginning to a whole genre. it's not a generic fantasy and in Japan it sells a lot. if you don't understand how wonderful this series is, you can simply drop it. The score is too low for one of the best seasonal.

This one was pretty entertaining. Almost like they switched directors...or something. The glass sword was cool and his spar with the man looked well-animated and fluid to me.

What do you mean "this series gave the beginning to a whole new genre"? Are you talking about fantasy and adventure because those genres existed WAY before Orphen ever existed

do you know that Orphen 2020 is adapting the original source, the novel, right? one of the novel which sells the most in japan together with Slayers, since its first novel 25 years ago?

Yeah I realize that. Doesn’t mean they’re doing a good job. Besides even if material was once considered good it can age and become cliche. For example, I watched Neon Genesis Evangelion for the first time last year and figured out the HUGE major plot twist right away literally in the first episode because the troupe itself had been overdone for years. Even though it was probably a brand new plot device back then in the 90s.

if you don't like it, it's ok. i know a lot of fans grateful for this remake since Orphen is a must-watch series. they are adapting something never adapted before. a novel up-to-date until now. it's up to you if you don't like it, but Orphen is one of the series who deserves a lot. more than stupid isekai nowadays and more of the majority of the seasonals

Maybe it's just me, but half the time I don't know what the hell is going on in this series. I get the guy's out to find his sister, but the side plots and characters, etc. I still watch it because I never drop anything, but man feels convoluted.

This is 100% going to end up like Mugen no Juunin and Hakyuu Hoshi Engi because they are pulling the same shit where they are trying to adapt a huge ass manga into a short TV series. Tho, I will give this show perks for its action, and it's pretty mindlessly entertaining more times than not.

I'm liking this arc - at least, more than the last one. The characterisation is interesting

As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?

The hand to hand combat between Orphen and Salua was great. Thou poor guy was taken out by Cleao. Also Orphen just can't leave a maiden in need alone, he's a good guy.

They're supposed to be prisoners, right? Why is there no guards keeping an eye on them? This annoyed me the most whilst watching the ep.

Apart from that, the fight scene was pretty well done.

The episode wasn't really awful to watch but it was really funny. Yeah, Salua being defeated by the dumb girl was annoying but if you don't pay much attention to it, it's quite fun lol. I can't say the same thing with Volkan & Dortin, they're just a pair of annoying brats and they never explained how they really managed to find them in the forest huh.

It looks that the anime is going to adapt 1 arc in only 3 episodes like the first one.

Cleao knocked down the Salua guy?!? really a night and day difference with the old version where Cleao was absolute garbage. Seeing Fernrir mentally and physically destroy the prodigy Orphen to near death really shows how strong the 'dragons' are in this world.
