THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE LIGHT NOVEL BEYOND THIS EPISODE.

Spoilers about the identity of the new seventh will be treated as trolling and will result in warnings and bans.
----------------------------------------
Well now that is interesting. They went back with the original OP theme song.

And ha, the suspicion finally falls onto Nashetanya. About damn time.
Her reactions were pretty gold. I mean, it was coming to her by now with the facts from the previous episodes. I find it kinda sad that Goldov was literally being played at by her. Shit got creepy in this finale though.

Finally, the others starting to trust Adelt now after the revelation.

Fremy's blush...


Overall, 8/10. Much better than I had expected.

8/10 for the first volume, but due to my strong bias, it's getting a 10/10. Perfect adaptation. Amazing OST's and boyyyyy, the tension was great.

Definitely AOTS, and depending how fall is, possibly AOTY.

So they ended with the epilogue of Volume 1.....I wanted them to end with the prologue of Volume 2 but oh well....The mindfuck will still be real lol

I made a review for this series a few days ago so there's nothing else left to be said tbh.....Seeing Nashetania act like that really hurt my soul but at the same time I was astonished

Overall, this series was easily the best anime this season and I REALLY hope that we will get a S2 and S3 because these novels are FUCKING AMAZING and this adaptation was PERFECTION

9/10 Adlet, you are the fucking man my friend!! And yaaaay for good ol Rolonia appearing :D

That was a pretty nice review. I think you nailed it with the score and evaluation of the series, I agree with you one hundred per cent. Out of interest, I would like to know what you thought about the show's pacing and if it was necessary or not.

Besides that, the only improvement I would make is to give each section it's own score, with the final score being an average of them.

So, shall I do a preventive strike and say "No, she's human" before the contrary start to be said a hundred time in the topic? :o


On rolonia, they actually dared to not change Rolonia's chara design, that anime staff definitely has balls. Doing only one volume in one cour, following almost completely the source while changing the setting and making it work, and now Rolonia. There's no way most anime watchers like her chara design. Girls who aren't cute aren't welcome in anime media.
They basically said f*** you to all the anime fans requesting moe-ness and went with the original design. Yep, they sure are brave xD.



So no announcement of a second cour at the end of the first one then. Well, it was expected...

The pacing had its ups and downs in my opinion. at the beginning it was appreciated considering how it gave the series more suspense and was overly detailed with its explanation, which is always welcome. The second half the pacing had its issues, it felt like they had to slow it down to get the specific ending that they wanted. Making the episodes seem half the length they're supposed to be.

Damn, Rolonia looks so damn cute with her red-ish lips. She is in my top and glad that others finally know about her. She is my BAE in this series.
Also I'm the only one who thinks her cow costume looks cute? ?*-*

Excelllent episode IMO 10/10
Kinda sad they didn't announce a second season, but they did maintained loyal to the LN so props to them.

So many shallow comments are about to flame poor Rolonia, I'm surprised they kept her *cough cough* uniqueness. This exceeded my expectations 10-fold. Great adaption from a LN and plus from a unknown company like Passione. Great directing job. Wondering will we see anymore adapted?

Very good and interesting show to watch for me and i hope we get a continuation soon !

the only part of the episode that i didnt really like was when Rolonia appeared and said she was one of the "six braves". my reaction was more like " whaat? again? this feels like a cheap setup for season 2 and they had to push it in right at the ending! "

pretty sure they could have handled it better.

Nonetheless 8/10 for the whole show.

YES! INSANE FIEND SYMPATHIZER NASHETANIA WAS THE SEVENTH! :D I knew best girl Maura was safe, but then...Oh man, when cow girl showed up(yes I know she's human blah blah) all I could think was "oh you can't be serious!" :D That's a pretty bad joke to end on, but I guess the other LNs hafta be mysteries too huh? Well at least they got out of the barrier anyway, but such a cliffhanger for a second season I doubt we'll ever get. Regardless, this was certainly a fun ride. :D 8/10.

Actually, this is how the first volume of the LN ends. Though there being 7 braves again, doesn't means they will do the same, after all they aren't trapped anymore *grins*

=_=

Before this episode started I said to myself "Please surprise me. Please let it be anyone but Nashetania because that'd be so anticlimatic and predictable". But I guess it just wasn't meant to be... I was a little sad, not going to lie

Also the fact that they brought in another key plot element with the broken stone tablets in the very last episode is kind of unacceptable to me, but whatever I've already accepted that this anime doesn't want to play the detective game


Either way, a very original anime for what it was and it was still worth the time spent. Dunno about leaving it off at that kind of cliffhanger though... and if you're going to introduce yet *another* seventh Brave, I sincerly hope that doesn't mean that the plot will start going in circles in future volumes. But I guess that's a story for another time

What the fuck is this...the first season was only about finding the fake brave and now that it's revealed, they let Nachetanya flee and there's ANOTHER fake?! I mean what the hell, this couldn't get any worse. This anime only relies on finding the fake brave AGAIN...seriously -.-

Who the fuck are you, Rolonia? I don't like her already. If we get a 2nd season (pretty sure IMO), i hope, she doesn't get too much screentime.

Also Nashetania was no surprise, you couldn't escape from any indications in these last threads :P

Very good series, looking forward to a 2nd season. 8/10

It is definitely a new mystery because it isn't a locked room mystery anymore, they're traveling and fighting with an impostor among them.

Edit: Funny how opinions vary due to expectations of who the fake is or not. Really, it only could have been Nashetania if they wanted an exceptional mystery and an exceptional character. Otherwise, episode 1 and 2, which focused on Adlet and her relationship would just be narrative dead weight.

Well, not surprised Nashetania is the 7th. It's been obvious for a few eps now. But damn, she's crazy for thinking having 500,000 casualties is alright. Poor Goldov though. I don't think Nash even cared about him.

7/10 episode, 6/10 series.

I knew it was weird when she swung the sword around for no reason at the alter in the beginning. I thought I was in for a demon-fighting anime, but it turned out to be a Closed-Door detective show, lol.

So at the end of the day there are still seven of them lol.

Great episode. Nashetania really was the seventh. To think the seventh was there since episode 1 and we still had to wait 11 episodes just to find out.

Love how Rolonia Manchetta siad she was a brave and everyone was like: "Ha you think we gonna fall for this again right?" takes out weapons lol.

Overall this was a hidden gem and I'm happy I founded it. Hope there will be a season 2 (but I Doubt it).

10/10: Enjoyment.
8/10: Overall point of view.

Okay still better end than I expected.

Now while I could not care less about majority of Braves except maybe Hans(Adlet might be interesting IF he is second fake, don't know enough about Maura, but Fremy and Chamo are as generic as characters can get), Nashetanya might as well enter my favorite characters depending on how the story goes. I like it that there's a character in-universe who had the same thought as I in that "This whole brave conflict is fucked up and stupid idea that does not solve anything". Also I like characters who are smarter than they pretend to be too and are willing to get their hands dirty for what they want to achieve, instead of trying to play a hero. I hope she gets enough attention if the rest of story gets adapted, because I can firmly say her character jumped to the forefront as the main reason to watch this.

Either way I am now 100% sure that second fake is Adlet. That would explain majority of his behavior. I am not sure if he knows it or not.

Sad that there have been idiots "pretend-Speculating" as early as 4th episode about who is the fake. Fucking spoiler-spreading maggots.


Overall I'd say that while anime failed with the mystery aspect(considering it's contrived solution), it certainly did succeed with the psychological thriller elements and the setting. Very strong directing and atmosphere.

For all its worth, Rokka ends up being a tease, with more questions than answers. Still a worth watch as long as one can stomach some very unlikely shonen-y asspulls(including half the suspicious braves being convinced by Adlet's "bro actions" instead of facts)

9/10 for the episode, 8/10 for the anime.

Sweet, I called it back in episode 6.

God, Fremy was way too cute with her blushes. I kind of feel bad for Goldof, poor guy just wants to be by his hime-sama's side. Anyway, this needs a sequel. And while it's highly unlikely, I'm still going to hope for one.

Well, time to start the LN.
