| I'm not sure how to feel when the most interesting episode so far also happens to be the one that deviates from the chain of events of the original source material the most. With the small amount of time they have, they really should have taken more liberties earlier... ElPsy said: We have to wait 2 weeks til next Episode, right? Cause Arata breaks next Sunday/Monday Yup. It was pre-empted by a table tennis match, so it's on break next week. lol |
| Gaaaa~ I love this anime. I like this episode :) I'm excited to see the next episode.. I want to know what will to the Arata in the modern world.. and lol.. at this "light" thing.. it looks like i'm watching AKB0048.. |
kension said: Irenesharda said: For all those saying that Arata is weak for not challenging Akachi, know that of the 5 Elemental Shinsho, Akachi is the most powerful with the least to lose. Hinohara would have never been able to defeat Akachi. Well, Arata challenged Kannagi in ep2 to save the heroine when he was even weaker back then... Of course, it's all just convenient plot device like how Kannagi arrived on time to distract Akachi and indirectly saved Arata, but not soon enough to save the wife. And in all actuality he would have died right then if Kannagi hadn't been more interested and destracted by the fact that Arata turned out to be a Sho and had a hayagami. Even with his sword, Arata hadn't awakened the hayagami enough to have defeated Kannagi. When Kannagi is really trying and fighting in earnest, he is easily the strongest of the 5 elemental Shinsho after Akachi. |
kension said: daisy23 said: Are people really complaining about Arata being weak? Really? What would you do in that situation? Are you telling you wouldn't be scared of a merciless person like Akachi? Do you think he was going to be able to save the woman when the woods were practically at her throat all the time? It's about "inconsistency" of his character. He had jumped out to save others before regardless the power level of his opponents. Doesnt matter if Akachi is the strongest just as he went against Kannagi without the knowledge that he was the 2nd strongest. The wood at the neck was also not relevant because Arata cant see it behind the curtain. Another negative point for Arata in this episode is that he complain to Kannagi after the battle when he did **** himself. Akachi also has a certain presence about him that Kannagi doesn't. You ever here that term"paralyzed by fear"? Akachi will do that to a person where as Kannagi does not. Also, where as Kannagi's bullying resonated with him and he could actually battle with himself and decide to stand up for others, Arata had never witnessed such cold-blooded brutality and cruelty that is Akachi. He couldn't handle it and was literally frozen with fear. |
| first good episode. the fight had a weak animation though. |
| If I were Akachi I would make Arata submitted to me. Akachi leaving Arata alone like that is weird; I mean, he absorbed all that Kannagi's Zokusho and then leave behind a Hayagami -even the one that escaped Gatoya- just like that? Or.. maybe Akachi is actually never serious to be the king. |
Waiting for next week anime gives me another reason to live. |
| Damn. That was brutal. |
| I'm glad Akachi did all that violent stuff. This anime needed something like that to take it out of the boring category. It's somewhat interesting for me now... if you ignore the plot holes. By the way, the two Aratas look nothing alike. Even by anime standards. Does no one in the real world notice Arata's long hair for one? The way Arata acts is really cheesy at times. Like a western comic book hero. But usually he's a wuss. The next episode will probably be about that guy who has the face of a girl. Totally thought it was a woman until he spoke. |

There have already been two instances in the comic that support this theory: |
| I was on the border with this series but it's definitely picked up and this episode alone has changed my opinion on it. I have to say I had mixed feelings for Kannagi - I felt like he deserved what was coming but at the same time felt like maybe his background and history will make me feel otherwise, it seems like he's suffered a good share. And maybe I'm reading into it too much, but I was a bit confused as to what Kannagi meant by being under the Princess's control and only having one grand opportunity. I wonder if there's more to her than meets the eye. |

| Okay wait, the little girl has hope that Arata can bring back the guy, but what's the point if he can't bring back the wife and unborn kid?!?! All is good if just he comes back?! |

Hlopefully it all comes together soon. |
