Crashmatt said: The first 5 mins were a mess. It seems this show has some direction issues. I enjoyed the fight scene but the way the scenes were put together is clunky along with story telling. Glad someone noticed this as I was about to write the same. Seriously, they start their 2 episodes just so lame and boring. Made me want to step it aside and watch another anime. Anyway, I think this episode was "a bit" better than the previous... but still not enough for me to like it. |

| This episode felt mostly the same as the first episode, what it lacks in the story development, it makes up for it in the action scenes. Although I liked this episode a bit more than the first one, it's still having trouble with the characters' situations and I hope that this issue will get sorted as the show goes on. Since this is a 24-episode show, there'll be plenty of time for the story to get its act together. As for the fighting scenes, it was animated really well and the CGI use was also good as well. The OST was a bit too loud at times, since the songs having vocals at that volume did make it harder to hear what the characters were saying, but the songs itself were good and made the fights more exciting to watch. I think it'll be a few episodes before the pacing and storyboard will get back on track, so for now at least, the show so far is good, but it can do quite a lot better. |
| Loved this episode. Felt wild as. Big fan of the fights and the music is great! |
 |
| - copy Jojo stand power - copy Naruto x Sasuke story (make it double for uniqueness) that how we got this anime @_@ |
 |
| I can't believe they just let her go on mission knowing she would ruin the mission due to her emotion and relationship with one of the mafia. Or Free didn't report that to his higher-up? |

| I hope we get some character development, or at least some anecdotes soon. Let's hope this is just a slow start. |
 |
| Overall it's pretty decent so far, what I am more curious about is the story... it feels all over the place at this moment, but since it's going to be a 2 cour Anime, it has a lot of time for the story and characters to flesh out. Will have to see if this gets any better! |
 |
| I still don't feel attracted by the story but it was only episode 2 out of 24, so it's fair giving Fairy Gone a bit of time to prove its value. However I find the global art nicely designed, which is the opposite of all characters we've seen so far (personality, affinity talking) |
 |
| It's revealed that Marlya had nobody in her life and that Free's friend, Jet, died in action protecting him. Marlya became a member of Dorothea. Free and Marlya have a mission in a ruins where other team is waiting for them, the team are Serge and Klara, and their mission is to uncover and illegal commerce of artificial fairies. They started to hunt the exchange, but a guy discovered them, recognized as Wolfran, they couldn't get him and got away killing his parterns. Wolfran visited two tombs. Another action episode, the story is progressing a a bit fast, they show places and characters, but not that messy as other shows. OST is good as I can enjoy action scenes where I don't need to hear dialogs. Backgrounds are really beautiful, maybe this show needs a bit of comedy. |

Demyx_IX said: Also, I think people should take your opinion with a grain of salt, given that you have shows like Black Clover and other Shonen Snore shows rated as 10s. I agree that Fairy Gone is shit, but I think the kettle is calling the pot black here, since your favourites include net-juu and NTR in the franxx. 1. Net-juu has a higher ranking than this shit with a completed season, compared to 2 episodes. 2. It's also better than the 10 billion 'Oh no, the guy I secretly have a crush on is doing something in decent to me/one of my love rivals in public, better smack him across the face, then storm off while shouting "Baka" at the top of my longs!" romcom animes out there. 3. There's literally no ntr in Franxx, so thanks for showing that you didn't watch it at all. 4. The pot calling the kettle black, would be you when you give the best SAO series, "Alternative; GGO" a 1.And then say that I'm the one with equally bad taste as the guy I was responding to. |

| This second episode was certainly better than the first one. The first five minutes worth of backstory from two different perspectives was a little messy, but I actually began getting into the show once the other characters got involved. I just wish the pacing wasn't so quick because things seem to be happening with no context at the moment. Again, the OST was great. Animation didn't seem as clunky as episode one's animation either. Perhaps I was a little pessimistic last week because I'm certainly beginning to get excited for this show again. I just hope - again - that characters and plots become more fleshed out. But with 22 episodes left to go, that shouldn't be a problem. |
| This episode was way better than the first one, the characters visual is really good and the OST seems nice as well, made me stay atleast for a bit more |

| Holy fuck this show is starting to look like a trainwreck. It may be passable visually, but the editing and the story are just a mess. We don't even know what the main goal of this series is yet. Are we supposed to find out why Veronica joined the bad guys? Maybe we are supposed to worry about artificial fairies? Maybe why they burned main girl's hometown? Who the fuck is/are the main badies here? Also, there are two particularily bad moments in this chapter: 1- At the beginning of the episode, when we see main guy's past, his friend gets stabbed to protect him from the other fairy soldier. We cut and he is holdind his friend's corpse in the rain, and we don't know what happened to the other fairy soldier. Did he just get away and let him live because of his friend's sacrifice? Did Wolfram save him? Did someone kill the other fairy soldier? We don't know, and the show doesn't want to tell us either, so if this other fairy soldier appears later as an important character I'll call BS, because the show clearly didn't give a fuck about him. 2-Main guy is going after Wolfram and he goes from standing to inmediatly being on his motorcycle with no inbetween shot of him gettin in his bike, which is an amateurish mistake at best. Both of these moments, combined with some others from chapter 1 that i referenced in the discussion of that episode give me the impression that this show has had little to no quality control in its editing and writing, which is pretty worrying. Man, it's a shame that such a cool concept like stand users inspired by fairytales fighting in a post-war country is being used so poorly. Maybe it will get better, but if the next episode pulls some more crap like this I'm dropping the hell out of this show. |
 |
| I think I'm gonna drop it for now, if I start hearing good things about it later on maybe I'll pick it back up again. |
| I want to like show because it's an anime original, it doesn't feature teenagers and I like the Victorian-like setting, but jeez, it's a disaster so far. |
 |
| Good fucking lord the dialogue is awful. The sub-titles are awful and the general anime feels pretty damn edgy to boot. |
 |
TAS_the_SPAS said: same, i wanted to like this but so far nothing is interesting me. if i hear it gets better later on ill start againI think I'm gonna drop it for now, if I start hearing good things about it later on maybe I'll pick it back up again. |
| The 2nd episode didn't improve and get better from the 1st episode. Tbh it makes me rather disappointing :( |
     |
| I mean it's okay. I really want to love it, but I don't feel the story has grabbed me yet and I think the soundtrack is not helping. |
| Be happy with what you have to be happy with |
| I hope this gets better. I thought this was only going to be one cour so I picked it up (I don't drop anime, but it's fine if it's only 12 eps) This could be PA Works biggest flop since RDG. So far this plot is boring, and I have no idea where it might be going. Mainly watching at this point hopin Known_Name has some more music in it. Since they were awesome in Sakura Quest. |

Thread Cleaned Just a reminder that single-phrase responses (ie: "good episode") don't contribute to the discussion and will be removed without notice |
Take care of yourself |
| I still don't know how to feel about this one. The biggest issue (which idk if it is a big issue for people) is simply the music placement during battles and regular dialogue, I find it simply bad lol |
 |
| Visuals and music are nice. The action looks eh and they should clear up the story a bit. |
 |
| Gave it another chance. The action was great, even better than episode 1. But I still don't care about any of the characters.. permanent drop now. Giving the final score of 7. |
| Making a pause 'til I learn about the mid-series big turnaround. I have a high tolerance threshold and am easily pleased but this is insultingly average. 2/5 (should be 3) @Swagernator Thank you for this depiction. (even without songs, the music sounds rather off in how/where it's used. @Raggadish The thing is that most people here were far too young to watch TV series during the full-length peak. They can't know how you build one. Haptism93 said: I meant more character backgrounds People are not used to it anymore but full length series have 1or2episodes to start the intrigue (perturbation event) and then some character-centric episodes (mini-conflict making them progress slightly while we learn a bit about them) following a "mission-of-the-week" format in the first half of the show before reaching the midmidpoint where a single or double episode (ex: eps.12-13 in a 26eps series) will focus on a certain event that will culminate in a big revelation or turnabout in the intrigue, revitalizing in such a way the series. |

| Since this is just a continuation of those introductions, it still feels a boring start. I really like those green stuff when they summon their spirit and overall good battle choreography but I don't like the accompanying BGM during those moments. |

Huh? I even said that I am expecting that in the following episodes and that's why I keep watching for now. Not sure if I'm misunderstanding you here, but I keep watching it because I think there are some information to come instead of dropping it like some others. I just like to give shows some time to develop, especially if they're a bit confusing and unclear at the beginning. Maybe I didn't express myself very well (English isn't my first language, sorry), but I was actually backing up what you're trying to tell me. Also, the too young part also doesn't fit to me since I started watching anime in the 90s, when many MAL users weren't even born yet ;p |

MysteriousBanana said: I'm surprised this is supposed to be a 24 episode series, given how rushed the first two episodes have felt. As much as I'd like to say that it's not fair to judge this (or any) title only two episodes in, there are so many glaring flaws in the pacing and writing here that I have strong doubts it can improve. There's so much to complain about, but basically it just boils down to this: the writer has put virtually zero thought or effort into justifying Mariya. She's an orphan from a village that doesn't exist anymore, her previous employer was the mafia, and she acquired a fairy in a way that nobody thinks is possible; there is no rational way she could have passed any sort of vetting process or pressing emergency that forces the organization to trust her, it's all shoved aside and she's rushed a goddamn arms deal sting as her first assignment because the plot demands it. I'm shocked this is by the same person who created Grimgar, at least that story created a situation where strangers were forced to work with each other, but still had to learn their limits and develop their teamwork. Funny part being the director also directed JoJo, thus that's why the fairy thing looks like Jojo's aviators. Yeah, my biggest issue of this show is Mariya as mc too. She could probably be an annoying side character and it'd be fine, but her being mc is pretty boring / uninteresting, and somewhat off putting. There's too many plot convenience regarding to her being accepted... She literally just let a fugitive escape, has relationship with fugitive, and wants to help the fugitive, yet she gets no punishment, no suspicion, no superstition, and the higher ups just let her join an important mission? Like wth? |
| Wolf is somewhat interesting, pretty obvious his wife and daughter are dead based on the after-credit scene. Again, meeting someone from their past, former comrade turned enemy. Same as the last episode. Also, they reused the same horrible rock-rap music during the fight scene. Honestly,music has such a large impact on creating an atmosphere.The music felt incredibly out of place and was distracting. It was an okay episode, lame fight scenes but those cars with legs were cool. |
| 臭い- |
| @Haptism93 Sorry if I angered you. I only wanted to support your saying while opposing it to what the prevalent reaction was. All my excuses. |
| Think imma drop this unless I hear it gets a lot better, but I don't know, seems way too bland and boring to ever really get to that point |

Rei366 said: @Haptism93 Sorry if I angered you. I only wanted to support your saying while opposing it to what the prevalent reaction was. All my excuses. No anger, just a bit of confusion about it at first because it was in the context of being right after the "too young" part of your post. So I didn't know if you wanted to back up my post or wanted to use my post as an example for people that are too young, haha. |
I will show no mercy for you You had no mercy for me The only thing that I ask Love me mercilessly |
| Well, this is, unfortunately, quite disappointing. I was very looking forward to this one, but directing is all over the place and animation is a pain to look at. I like the music tho. Also, Veronica and Wolfran seem to be interesting characters. Btw, I just noticed... P.A.Wroks? :D |
 |
| I usually don't bash on CG alone, because sometimes it's blended really well and even if some transitions don't look so good, they don't hurt the pacing neither the atmosphere. But this episode was screaming Budget all over. Not only the CG, but a lot of stills had obvious mistakes. Character's eyes were not aligned and disproportional to a point it becomes distracting, and some of those scenes happened in close-ups, when the quality need to shine due to lack of dynamic animation. The Fairies looked like those PS2 early games and never in a good way. Some fights and characters location was a mess and the plot is delivered in the most boring way possible. Kudos for the background music though. |
| It was almost the same as in the previous episode. What bothered me the most about this episode was the music that was used in the fight scenes I think they do not go with the situation, but seemed to be watching a Naruto AMV with background linkinpark music. |
 |
| i hope it picks up the next episode |
