Thanks to Haku's planning, the invasion didn't go exactly as planned. His forces were prepared to defend from the start.

Pretty incredible how much charisma he has as a leader. On the other hand, this whole conflict is still far from over so everyone had better be prepared for the future.

Maroro is such a pain and hypocritical . When the general he works for kill civilians is okay, but if the defending army kill their soldiers is horrible.
Oshtor should had executed him,just to be safe.

Well at least Dekopoop is dead, with his secretary.

A pathetic end for a fat incompetent general. No tactical skills and fighting prowess. Guy earned a death so pathetic and humiliating.

It is really blazing through content and it's not so much about how much is being skipped but the way they're handling the content they ARE adapting. As a show, not as an adaptation, it's so disjointed and uneven with how scenes don't flow or fit together well at all especially when episodes start. It really needs better editing. It's not even just a bad adaptation at this point because this is a very basic thing for any show adaptation or otherwise. They're trying to cram as much as possible into each individual episode not worrying about whether the scenes being shown are actually sticking and getting their intended purpose. Like how they start the attack then randomly cut back to Nekone grieving without anything resembling a natural transition. Not to mention they killed the Gaunji which is quite important later on but screw that I suppose.

I love Utawarerumono and i've played the trilogy through 100% completion but this anime doesn't do it any justice. They have cut off so many things and the animation and coloring all looks so bad.

The heroines boobs are smaller (nozuri)
Dekopompo is not fat enough
Atuy's facial expression when she's getting tranced for battle is dull
Cut out the fart and the lowering of their pants when Jachwaldt mocking dekopompo.
When the soldiers came out of the siege fortress nozuri was supposed to open by shooting a flash grenade to give them an early advantage.
Maroro didn't suggest anything against dekopompo's action on this episode

I'm done with this show.

Atui battle maniac is always fun. She's sounding like Rory Mercury at the Battle of Italica.

Oof on that CGI

Filling the gate with rocks is a pretty great idea

Hahaha shit talking the narcissistic Dekopompo is genius too

Getting Ougi to laugh is a new one

Atui just came! With Hearts in her eyes

Haku going for brutality. Lighting everything on fire. Some true terror.

Should've listened to Mororo earlier Yaktowalt: this is bad!

Atui: this is cool!

Yes. Kick the big monster. Lol

Fuckin owned lol there's the end of Dekopompo

Well. That was pretty simple to kill.

Maroro is pretty sharp. Seeing though Ukon pretty simple.

Haku having to throw away all his friendships is pretty brutal

Pretty good episode but they are moving at light speed to get through this stuff. As always the OP and ED for this franchise is are fucking bangers. Can't even try to skip them. Haku is truly walking down the path of carnage.

Atui's love for battle is always great and she actually delivers in game, one of my favorite units, pretty mobile and hits like a nuke.

the war already started and it's time to grill fat pig but the studio choose to show us oshtor-haku first problem about nekone that they should show to us first in episode 1

tell me, what do you expect from us who try to focus on war that will be happen but a scene that should animated before the war is animated after the war started

do you know what is my impression after see the first part of this episode? did i just watch naruto? then i check my file title and it tell me that it is "utawarerumono futari no hakuoro episode 3", maybe they choose to use naruto development style in this utawarerumono. okay, fine now i will drop it for sure

ironic that my remaining list in this season is new original anime title Lycoris Recoil and engage kiss. even now i still don't believe that awesome dramatic utawarerumono futari no hakuoro ended as junk completely and lose in quality from new original anime

it seems like any anime that come from ln, wn, manga or vn will not have good adaptation especially when some of them have deep story will turn into junk soon and it is already proven in the past. rewrite from key and toaru S3 from kamachi is the most victim for it and DaL S3 & S4 is the best clown ever

My poor boi Maroro...

Def feels too fast but again such is the fate of these adaptations.

I don't think the fans will be happy about it but hopefully it serves as an introduction for the new fans who are interested.

Maroro is just broken now, he really loved Haku, but couldn't see him standing in front of him. This slaughter was some Braveheart level ownage. I'm surprised the anime is going well. I always forget the names of the characters.

I feel bad for Maroro, poor guy. And Haku can't say anything about it.

Haku was brutal when he defeated the other army. At least Dekoponpo's luck ran out.

maroro man I'm not prepared for what going to happen to him😭great episode.

but yeah I'm going to say this if you're a "hardcore fan" (like the guys a above🤣) and love this series than this show is not for you (to most hardcore fans at least🤣) and as someone who played the games too and love this franchise, I still enjoy the show nonetheless, sure this episode had some questionable directions decisions but I still enjoyed the episode.

if there is any newcomers who want to watch this series for the first time please do so just don't just don't pay attention to the hardcore fanboys and enjoy what you like.

I still don't understand why he's being so cold, when Oshtor was kind.

The first part of MOT is annoying they focus to much on Maro who is the worst character in the games.

I don't get the hate... It was a great episode.
"They are blazing through the content" bruh what u want to see dekopompo for the next 2 episodes and want them to cut the main portions later. They didn't even cut anything. the 'slice of life' that were cut from before the dekopompo fight would eventually be covered (probably). And the Anju Scene. That is kinda important but can be done later. It would have been way worse if they forced the Anju Scene here. Other than that dekopompo fight was perfectly done.
"MaRorO DidNT sToP DekoPoMPo" "JacHdWalT DidNt Lower PaNTs or FArT" I assume these are commented as jokes but if u are serious then , maroro did warn him, he ignored maroro's advice. And they didn't lower pants, they just farted. Which would have made no sense since he is so far away,.

"Nekone scene in the starting" tho I didn't hate it, I did feel it was a bit oddly placed. But it wasn't that awful so as to hate the entire episode.

Overall I loved the episode. U "The HaRDcoRe FaNS" won't appreciate things. I have played the VNs, There is no doubt that they are superior, but this anime so far is not classified as "Bad adaptation". This is great. I do love seeing others who enjoy the show. :)
Personally think that now they will slow down a bit(hopefully they do).

Nvm I just checked the rating of the episode 32/43 liked it, so only the loud obnoxious minority hates the episode. Good to know

I love this drastic change in Haku's personality, it's interesting how determined he has become.
And it's about time Dekopompo got killed, and in such a pathetic way at that. Although the reason why a huge untamed beast was waiting calmly in a crate when it could wipe out all those troops in a second at any time remains a mystery lol.
The pacing feels much better this season. I hope they won't come back to making boring SoL episodes cuz we've already had a fuckton of those in season 2.

My only two complaints about this episode is the intro showing Nekone crying without giving us the reason and how that beast was killed. It doesn't give a proper explanation as to why the binding plus everyone's attacks managed to slice that monster's armor. They could have said the twins' spell lowers one defense or anything.
