Andragoras died like a fodder. Vahriz's death was totally in vain.

I wonder what SilverMask's relation to him was? Betting on illegitimate son or sth like that.

I was also thinking the same. That might explain his unusual rage before landing the last strike.

Good episode. Looking forward to Narsus' contributions in the team.

So the king who killed a lion 1v1 when he was 10 dies just like that
shonen bs

Except that he didn't die? They said it in the very same episode.

He's a typical shonen hater just cause fma author did it.
Even thou it's originally from lotgh author XD

Enjoyed the episode a lot but still not a fan of Arslan's character design. You can't tell if hes a girl or a boy.

Narsu's face...OVA version:


I was a bit worried about Yuki Kaiji being Silvermask, but he's doing a decent job. Though I did imagine it to be deeper.

And... upcoming next episode, some classic FMA comedy. :L

I find it funny how that mask guy was so mad the king didn't recognize him...i mean you are wearing a MASK. Unless he's supposed to recognize the mask specifically...

also another thing Ive noted about the king is that he's pretty whipped lol. As soon as his queen was mentioned he stopped being so stubborn. Wonder what's so special about her.

Wow that's a really good point. He was willing to retreat for her.
Or was it because he does not trust her to run the kingdom that well/deal with crisis in his absence because she is a woman/had illegitimate son i.e. Arslan?

I like the antagonist so far. I'll be curious to see the development of the Lusitanians. With the question of morality broached, I can't imagine it being left stagnant.
Pretty cool episode. We'll get to see Arslan build his team of of awesome starting next week! xD

Hopefully the show can now start, since everything that has happened up to this point is in the synopsis, still loving the visuals though.

I don't think it'll silent me. Looking at this Silvermask's appearance, I would have imagined a (natural) deeper voice. And for the few sentences he spoke in this episode, it did nothing to make me appreciate him.

This series is gradually losing me. I just kept looking at it and I find it such a shame that the animation is not good. I'm really nit-picking, the sound effects are not excellent either. They were so explicitly focused on some sounds that, usually, I would be impressed, but they sound so not natural.

At least, we'll focus on the main characters now, which is more interesting for me.

Oh wow, so the undefeated lost the war.
Daryun is so OP.
The king is just stupid, well too much pride can get you kill.
This is super interesting...

I really didn't recognize Yuuki Kaji as Silver Mask. Nice to hear a deeper villainous coming from him.

R.I.P Arslan's swordsplay master. I kinda expected him to go out early, since he reminded me of Syrio Forel. lolol

You know, with so many unbelievably stupid posts on these forums, it's hard to tell who is serious and who is trolling. I really hope that this post is the latter, because if not, you definitely win dumbest post of the day.

This episode shows the true potential of the voice actors. While Yuki Kaji performance was good, for me the real star of this episode is Yoshimasa Hosoya rage voice as Daryun. I applaud for the the people who do the casting.

Yuki Kaji as Silvermask? Really? Yeesh, what a bad casting choice. He's way better suited to someone Arslan's age, not a fully grown antagonist general.

I'm really not feeling Silvermask's character design either. The 90s version was way more mysterious, with the full face mask/hood combo.

Kinda weird to hear Yusuke Kobayashi and Hanae Natsuki in this show (since they both have the same range of voice and you might mistake their voice if you don't pay attention) but still good match-up.

Slow-paced episode but its good anyways.

Full adaptation? Of almost 30 years old book series?
Also Yona is basically genderbend of Arslan.

As long as they leave the story open and the blu rays sell well then this could shape up to be awesome.


As it stands it is one of the least preordered of the season, so don't get your hopes up.

But that aside, why do sales matter in regards to how good an anime is? Many great anime have performed poorly in sales, and a lot of generic garbage sells like hot cakes.

Doesn't matter really. The manga started to have a good boost so I'm sure it'll make up for the lack of disk sales.

Really good episode overall. I would've liked it more if the King actually was shown fighting with the dude before getting killed. Oh well. The action was great. Daryun's turning out to be my favourite character till now. Can't wait to see what happens next.
