First of all your point is completely invalid. I'm not defending this anime like the heretics protected against the crusaders. I'm just trying to show that this is not as bad as people say it it. That's my entire point. To bring some light on why this season is bad, BUT not as bad as people say and think it is


"like the heretics protected against the crusaders"

You have some really weird references in your posts. Going to that guy's page to see how he rates shows so you can insult him for it. And this. "Heretic" is someone who was a Christian but is no longer. Those who were never Christian aren't heretics.

And what was the point of that reference? The "heretics," or more accurately the Muslims, didn't manage to defend (you meant defend, not protect) their Mediterranean pirate ports or Jerusalem, and even if they did your reference wouldn't make sense. You imply that the defense would be meaningless, which it obviously wasn't from their perspective. So then your reference lacks any meaning. Aside from showing that you are well versed in the history of the world, and so forth.

You do know that more than 70% of all crusades ended in Muslim victories. Also the church referred to the Muslim as Heretics because in their view of religion was that everyone is born in the light of God, and thus anyone who strays away from God/Christianity aka joins another religion (even from near birth) is a heretic.
Also I'm not sure why you came to the defense of SatanicAlpha, because this is a closed case. We agreed to disagree. He got my side of the argument and I got his. This argument is over. Done. Fin.

@Bird_of_Hermes_ Yes, we've seen the same episode, and if you think the animations are even passable, then my friend there are some serious problems. Yes, the animations have improved, even if it took very little, I'll give you an example: if you take a shit and cover it with glitter it doesn't become beautiful because it's colorful and shiny, it's ALWAYS a shit.
Also... the pacing was good? Seriously? It was simply embarrassing, and not only because of the poor quality of the animation but also because of the complete lack of pathos accompanied by a practically non-existent OST that doesn't say anything to the viewer, the dubbing was terrible and not because of the dubbers talent but because of the timing of the dialogues.
To conclude, if you think that something is saved in this episode then trust me, focus about something else.

When you grade something were in your opinion is good? Because in my books good in mid-tier. In context of this season and the rushed production the animation was beyond passable.
Also this episode was able to bring to the surface the needed amount of emotion for the scenes. It didn't try to make you cry your eyes out and if anyone does from scenes like that I'm assuming we both agree that they need help. The OST was fine. Also the dubbing was bad? The timing of the dialogue isn't a problem with the dub it's a problem with the writing.

I've not read the manga so obviously have no basis for comparison but a fight between Meliodas and Escanor should be hype and it felt anything but. It was a little better than the previous episodes efforts.

Not even Sawano's excellent OST could really save it.

And to Zeldris... i feel sad for him as his Father is still recognizing meliodas as the next demon king...

Ohh lets see what will happen with this one..

This episode was a lot better than the last few. It adapted the manga much better this time around, and the animation didn't seem as... rough as it was last ep. (except for THAT scene lmao)

Well...at least the new OP was alright..there's just no care for quality in this show anymore..simple as that.

Imagine how great this arc would have been if it was still A-1 producing it.

Just came to say the fan animation is officially better. Last time I'll comment on this series in general since it's all trash now. New OP is also an incoherent mess with a lackluster song... 1 fan animation/5


Where is this fan animation? Youtube? I'm curious to see how they compare

Yea. YouTube. Obviously, they cut it to be 1:1 with the manga, but the irony is that the manga's art is good enough that a Fan animation replicated the appeal to a lesser extent. There's also no awkward pacing AND the music choice is better.

watched delayed subs from [Chyuu]
WOW! Escanor is humongously strong! and can even bring down Meliodas at power level 142,000 meaning Escanor's strongest that we have seen might be beyond 200,000 power level! which is "The One"
damn that special attack! Divine Sword Escanor! I think anyone who get hit by that would be instant defeat no matter if they are one of the 10 commandments!
5/5.

So much hype and the biggest bullshit character strolls in and saves the day. Business as usual with this crappy anime. Escanor is cool in small doses, but he just ruined an interesting plot twist. Meliodas.... He's always hyped up by everyone and shows some badass showowff power, but in actual fiights? He never really measure up then. Always loses. Pitiful. Now he was hyped to be at the top of his power when he was the meanest demon, and we get this annoying braggart of a man stomping all over him.

What does this mean? yes, unless Meliodas get some nonsensical upgrade somewhere in the future he's just gonna be second rate. He's been second rate in actual fights so far anyway.

OP Melipdas vs. OP Escanor

Okay Escanor, its noon lets get to work!

Hmmm this is kinda lame, what is this a turn-base game?

What chapters of the manga is this supposed to be? I gotta see how this should have played out.

In summary:
Two robots take turns attacking each other while still frames of bystanders with shocked looks on their faces disrupts the flow the of the fight.

Also idk why everyone is upset about Elizabeth wanting to stay with Meliodas in the cube. She's already gonna die in 3 days.

Oh man... as much as I enjoy Escanor every time he opens his mouth, Deen really did mah boy dirty with this fight. It should've been an epic portrayal of what Escanor can do if he's at full strenght, instead it was just a pitiful portrayal of Deen's animation skill...

They gonna body-snatch Meliodas.

It's hard to even take this seriously at this point.

Oh my gosh, the animations and art is such a joke, I can't take this ep seriously .~.

I don't know why the quality dropped so much, but I hope it goes back to s1-3 bc it is really taking the enjoyment out of the series.

I remember this episode being very bad but it’s very enjoyable! The fight although not the highest quality was still very entertaining with The One Escanor. And Arthur’s part was sweet to see.
