| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I think the first half was just alright, nothing too interesting really stands out. The English language is better than the others I think since most people will understand what they are saying :D Action-wise, there isn't a lot in this episode but still the story is progressing well^^ |

| I LOLed at Isao's Engrish. Anyway, the Indian guy's English sounds too perfect as if his voice actor is an American. I haven't heard any Indian whose English is too perfect without the accent. But yet again, India at that time is under British control. Anyway, the girl in Aoi's past (the one who plays the violin in episode 2) is alive. I guess she must have a very big role in the story. But I'm more excited on the next controversial episode. |
 |
| LOL @ Isao's English. Everybody else's were passable, but his was just lol-worthy. Anyways, yup, we are definitely heading towards controversies now. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| The historical aspect of this series confuses me so much since I'm not very familiar with Japanese history although I do know vaguely about their invasion of China and Pan-Asianism goal. I guess I'll just go with the flow. Right now, I'm curious mostly about Aoi's supposedly fiance or wife (?) and why she isn't dead like I thought. And OMG. I NEED THE OST!! |
 |
| A very interesting episode. It didn't really pick up until Isao showed up, though. I think they played his appearance very well, even though it was telegraphed earlier in the episode. His intentions seem to have been called into question - perhaps he's not an actual bad guy after all. I predict that he may prove to be more of an anti-villain than anything, at least if I understood his lines properly. He may be attempting to stop Japan from provoking the war. Aoi's... lady also adds some extra mystery. I wonder what her secret agenda is? All those Asian resistance movement leaders had well-delivered English (at least for Anime characters). I kinda wish that the big-time seiyuus would try polishing their English, 'cause Isao sounded awkward in comparison to the guys playing the delegates. The Indian guy's accent was obviously not Indian, but his fluency is extremely historically plausible. Interestingly enough, the Burmese delegate's accent sounds remarkably similar to an actual Burmese-English accent. I can't wait for Episode 7 to get subbed! I read that it's pretty good. |
| Pro Magnus Aequitas! |
| This is getting better and better though not an exellent show. The fight scene was nicely animated and Yukina was also shown. I found it interesting how the girl in Aoi's memories helped them, seems like she has some kind of powers not to speak of that I thought she's dead. There must be some importance in her role, so I'm quite curious about it. And about the English, I don't think they should speak perfectly, they aren't native speakers so they need to have an accent after all even if it was just Engrish. Moreover they spoke quite understandable so I think there wasn't any problems with that. I can't wait for the subs for ep 7 too~~ |
 |
| First, their Chinese, then their German and now their Engrish. I can't wait for the dual audio that's gonna be out. I'll rewatch those scenes with Japanese audio so I won't get distracted. As for the episode, show just got real. The revelation was nice and plot is really picking up now. DandosMetroneis said: A very interesting episode.

I predict that he may prove to be more of an anti-villain than anything, at least if I understood his lines properly. He may be attempting to stop Japan from provoking the war. Aoi's... lady also adds some extra mystery. I wonder what her secret agenda is? THIS. Isao said that he'll make the best option for Japan so it really doesn't indicate that he'll oppose his homeland if he can assure that option. And for sure, that lady will play a big part on what's going to happen. |
| At first I was like, (╬ ಠ益ಠ) Σ(ﾟ∀´(┗┐ヽ(･∀･ )ﾉ <--- Then I was like In the end, I was ＼(▽￣＼(￣▽￣)／￣▽)／ﾔｯﾀｧｰ!! |
| Things seem to start happening now : D Pretty good English xD At least from the Indian : p (Isao's English on the other hand was horrible xD) And why do they have restrictions D: And why does that dude not have any? xD... Lastly, do want more of that girl Aoi's somehow connected to D: |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| The English made me lol at parts, I think we have one of the main antagonists in our sites. The action scenes were great, I wish they were a little longer. |
| The English parts were painful to watch >< A so-so episode. |
| I know the English parts were somewhat painful but I imagine if an American voice over company hired an American to speak Japanese, the Japanese would find it just as difficult to watch. The voices aside, I'm glad the story is starting to progress. I hope it picks up, because there are some really great and interesting ideas in there. |
| Oh god, the Engrish... how painful. The Indian guy speaks fluently, but his problem is his shitty acting. >_> |

Glad we have some explanation about the powers, now we need explanation why there are restrictions and where the powers came from.And why do they have restrictions D: And why does that dude not have any? xD... Oosran said: Also do want. For now, Yukina in that outfit = <3Lastly, do want more of that girl Aoi's somehow connected to D: Was kinda forgetting this show because of the delayed subs. My thoughts can be summed up with this: DukeofFunk said: Part of me thinks this is really interesting, and another part of me thinks that the show's creators aren't able to pull off a compelling plot with this subject material and should just stick to the whole Japanese x-men cool explosions thing. I still want to see more. |

| ^Just don't take too long. I'm starting to get interested in this show. Thanks again for the subs. |

| Return of the other teleporting guy and Yukina! Seriously, it has been 2 episodes or so since she has been involved. Well this episode felt very connected to the plot line and was good quality. Glad i wasn't the only one that thought the Indian ambassador had good English too. |
| The Indian's english was simply too perfect xD . |
| The Indian delegate's english was perfect, but horrible acted in comparison to the well acted Engrish of other characters. Isao's was just bad all around. I don't know what this show is lack, but it just is. Maybe it's the pace, but nothing is engaging. It's all so blah that all I think of is doing something else while I'm watching it. |
| Good fight. But yes, this series lacks real substance - or maybe "soul" is a better way to put it. I'll keep watching it, however, since it's not bad per se. |
 |
| I thought the English in that episode was pretty good, assuming they were not native speakers. Even for Isao, for a japanese guy, I guess it was pretty good. Real Engrish would be Revy in Black Lagoon or Macross Frontier's songs. |
| "That's right, Asians defeating the Whites was indeed a shocking incident." Lol. But in all seriousness, I agree that the english was pretty good. |
| lol...why is everyone commenting on their way of speaking english? Great ep for me :) |
snowteddy said: lol...why is everyone commenting on their way of speaking english? Great ep for me :) Exactly. This episode was filled with interesting political history and most just whinged about the speakers and the lack of action in this series. Go back to watching watered-down school girl trash, you brainless gits. |
| I'm glad that this episode sets up the series for an exciting finish. I was kinda worried that they weren't going to continue the Yukina/Isao storyline. |
| I liked this episode. The usage of English (by one character) though was pretty bad. |
| An alright episode, but I want there to be more fight scenes. These powers are so cool it really hypes me up when I'm watching :) |
p r o f i l e 👀 |
| Not a bad episode, really. The Engrish is the only thing that stuck out, but at least it wasn't a total flop. The fight scene was nicely done. But for once, this show looks like it's going somewhere. |
| so i wonder how that guys teleportation ability is limited? |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Ahahaha Their english is so funnyxD |
| I think the Indian guy accent was kinda good, I could understand him without sub. For not watching this for a long time I am kinda disconnected from the plot. This kinda of anime make me want to learn more about history and such. |
| Finally they remembered to put a main plot to the whole thing. And that girl is alive and with powers. She seems interesting. I can't say it was a very good episode but maybe the scenario that was shown today will bring better things. |

| English parts were the best! |
 |
| The recap episode was just released with subs, so I'm gonna comment on it here (it's listed as "episode 7" when we all know it's really episode 6.5) For a recap ep, it was pretty damn good. At least it really helps to put the series together and show us how the plot has actually been developing throughout the show. A big reason why the story was a bit hard to grasp for me was because episodes 4 and 5 were filler, and they were injected into the show right when the big story was taking off. 4 was pure filler, while 5 did give us some interesting character development for Kazura, but even then it wasn't really necessary to watch if you're staying for the main plot with the Guandong Army and Takachiho Isao. The recap at least helped me make sense of things that way. |

Go back to watching watered-down school girl trash, you brainless gits. Oh bugger off. We're commenting on the english because it stands out, not because we think it ruins the episode. Don't tell people what to talk about. That said, we're getting into what animenewsnetwork called this show's "icky premise". Historically, the Japanese are clearly the bad guys, yet are the protagonists of the show. Will this show be true to history and maybe offensive to the Japanese? The non-airing of the next episode suggests it might... |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| I just don't get the mentality here. Why are you people obsessed with the way they spoke english :S seriously, anime fans expect complete realism when its not needed in the least, and digest BS when a little realism is necessary. Anyways, I was confused in the beginning because of the names they kept taking I didnt recognize, but by the end I nailed it down right. My own country was under colonial rule back then (a part of Indian subcontinent), so the the political part was really interesting, especially because I remember reading something about Asian colonies attempting to coordinate to win independence although I never paid much attention in history class. I had no idea about Japan's Pan-Asianism and the particulars about the conflict between china and japan. Which makes this show all the more interesting for me. Oh and I dont understand this whining over lack of action; I really liked the fight scene, which I think was better than 50% of the action i saw in all of DTB |
| "...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth') |
| Oh shit! Was that Aoi's Sister/Girlfriend/whatever at the end? I was almost positive she died . . . Maybe she faked her death, in which case I feel bad for Aoi . . . Anyways, looks like the plot is starting to pick up, look forward to seeing how this all falls together. |
 |
| The brother and the girl in purple make their debut's. This show was pre WW2 correct? So is it possible that Isao is trying to prevent Japan's involvement in WW2, or at least he is predicting its outcome? |
 |
| Dat Engrish was just hilarious that together with that the Indian spoke perfectly well English xD Good episode in general, let's see what the following special will offer us! |
 |
| Ok, we have 2 subplots now, I wonder if they are connected now. The historical aspect of this anime is something i know since I'm familiar with Japanese history. But I still think the powers here are out of place. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
