It was a nice episode and the last 2 episodes of it has been really good.Nice to see Gladiolus and Noctis relation this episode and how they become friend :)

How come the maid didn't say anything even though she knew Noctis didn't ask Gladio's sister to come with him?

Don't know which I love more, the younger Gladiolus or the older Gladiolus. I was kinda sad that he didn't go hug Iris when she started crying though, would have made a great character bonding moment.
I also like Noctis a lot more after seeing this episode.
The character models look kind of off in some scenes mostly with their faces, especially when Gladiolus is looking down. But I can't complain too much, since they are probably dividing their budget between all of the things connecting FF15 with the biggest products I'm guessing being the main FFXV game and the Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV movie.

ooooh yesssss, never really expected that they'd have a story like that behind them. I'm amazed how well these convey the backstories even though the episodes are so short. Going to feel like meeting your good friends after a long time when the game comes out, you know?

Not a fan of this episode, I found Gladiolus irritating and the kitty chase has been done to death. The whole 'Manly men love meat and Noctis dislikes veggies' joke has also gotten old - it doesn't need to be brought up all the time. We get it, Noctis is suffering from all kinds of vitamin deficiencies that should have killed him by now. >__>

Nice backstory with Noctis and Gladio. A little annoyed with the overused cat-chasing scene .

So Brotherhood is mostly going to be about giving everyone backstories. I suppose Ignis is next? I hope we get to see Cid and some more of Luna, maybe.

Noct just told her he was going for a walk. She never saw Iris. Besides, even if she knew, she might have realised that he was trying to cover for her and stayed silent in respect for that.

I do like this format of introducing the characters before the main game, but the Japanese setting of the anime and the western look of the game is just so... distracting.

Anyway, we knew that Gladiolus was Noctis bodyguard, and here we found more about it. I find it interesting this personality of the young prince of all sayans. Also, when the dinner scene with the king and the prince started I thought it would be the soup one. I was excited for a second.

So next is Ignis and then Lunafreya?

That was a pretty nice episode. My favorite parts were when Noctis and Gladiolus fist-pumped in the past and at the end.

I was guessing Ignis would be the main focus for Episode 3, but I didn't think about Lunafreya being the focus in the last episode. I thought the focus would be on Noctis, but then again Square Enix could just save that for the video game. XD Either way, Lunafreya or Noctis as the focus for Episode 5 would be nice.

Well, in my opinion the first episode was technically Noctis episode. Although if the 5th is about him again, then it better have King Regis.

I initially thought the first episode would be Noctis' too, but I wouldn't be surprised if the last episode is about him again. I agree King Regis should have more screen time though.

Of course "I look like I'm about to shit myself" Regis wouldn't stick his tongue out at Noctis like "Mafia" Regis to make him feel better about eating his vegetables.

Damn imouto's always causing trouble.

Surprisingly this ONA is really good. You can really feel that "Final Fantasy" vibe with the storytelling. Watching the anime while playing the game makes it even more meaningful!

Alright not bad, I like the background they're giving here on the characters, even the more minor ones (at least they seem that way early-game, like Gladio's sister). Kinda helps make me take them a little more seriously in the game. Not that I particularly dislike any of them, it's just nice to know some more backstory.
