| Elystadt vs Germania forces.Elystadt soldiers knew they couldn't win in this battle and tried to buy time until the citizens evacuate.When Izetta appeared Germania's aircrafts and tanks were wipe out and they lost the battle.Also,in the end it seems that the Elystadt's King died.Good episode once again. |
 |
| So, this must sound funny, but I speak german and I still didn't get most of what the Eylstadt people were singing during their national anthem (?) (which was in german) at the end. Did anyone get the whole thing? I only got something about "bordering mountains", "Oh Eylstadt" + something about harps, one thing about pride of their home country and "eternity is our wish". |
| Was plausible a similar implication in the story, however, they have managed to build a fairly pleasant and engaging narrative, albeit obvious even in the final. However in the future they must show more than that to take off this anime. Consistently good drawings, animations and scenes. The soundtrack is so egregious, his duty. |
 |
| well that was good and Izetta is just too op |

| We UBW now Illyricus said: On the other hand, I really fear the show will end all it's battles with Izetta destroying the Germans in each battle, considering she defeated an entire unit of tanks and planes this episode, without counting how she anhilated those planes in the previous episodes. It would made the show predictable, and I want some surprises. +1 I really want less of Izetta pwning everything and more of other stuff. I mean, her fight looked cool and all, but it was also pretty hilarious imo, and somehow everytime she appears the seriousness dissapears faster then food infront of me xD |

| Best episode thus far, tearful embracement indeed. I am thrilled to watch the next episodes,when they reveal the dark-side of Izetta's powers... |

| I AM THE BONE OF MY SWORD |
 |
| I dont know about the next person but I enjoyed the battle, dint think Iz was proficient at battle like that, was also nice enough not to slaughter the entire enemy force with those swords. she might be my new fave short haired red head. |
| Get rekt with my secret weapon. Nonetheless, she is not all powerfull. Her prowess seems to be linked to the area she's at. I wonder if it's only based on geography or there are other factors. Next episode should tell her "secret". |
| “German Science is the Strongest in the World!” get rekted by magic |
| Great episode. It did a good job of presenting the battle and Izetta's powers. I love it when shows blend realism and the fantastical like this. |
To expand on this idea, it makes sense that she would be ridiculously OP this time because that castle and ridge are unique and obviously have a lot of history, so there is probably TONS of magic power floating around that area. They definitely portray the enemy commanders as bad guys, but more than anything else I think they portray them as men who are confident in their advantage and deeply believe that they could never lose. They don't make bets on whether they will win, they make bets on how they will win. That's why they're so shocked when the reports of their defeat come in. |
| I actually watched this episode thinking it was the first episode until I came on here. Really great episode. I figured it would be one of those shows that shows things instead of telling you, but since this is actually the 3rd episode, I suppose that's not the case |
| wow this was brilliant. Some derpy animations but the overall look was very good. The bomber cockpit view alone was awesome. Even the writing on the granate was on point. This could become my season favorite, but it has very hard competition. Weak season my ass. Its pure gold. Also the germanian commanders playing sort of death-champagne? Lol. New hobby detected. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Not even the German blitzkrieg was enough to stop Izetta's onslaught LOL did I really just see her lift the Panzer Mark III Tanks and throwing them haha. Well, I can say that this show passes my three episode rule so I'll definitely continue watching it. That tearful embrace between Fine and Izetta was pretty touching. I honestly prefer the realism of war, but Izetta being a badass is fine too. Looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| I hope the germans get their own witch to balance out the powers. The witch is OP as fuck xD |
Daniel_Naumov said: To everything said above on how generic is this yet another depiction of alternative world war 2 history, there is just that "witch" for the whole world? She could conquer it. For this kind of show to have any legitimacy they must introduce some kind of other magic user. Personally, I think the show would benefit from keeping the magic to a minimum and the Germans just coming up with tactics that Izetta can't handle with her magic alone. The show is pretty generic alternate WWII history as is, but I've never liked when "other" magic users join in the fray in these sorts of shows, like when other Geass users showed up in Code Geass or other Death Note users showed up in Death Note (don't even get me started on Luke Cage), causing it to just turn into generic superpower conflicts. At least the other method could introduce a "magic can't solve everything" agenda, which isn't original in of itself, but I don't think I've seen it besides military might before unless you want to count Valkyria Chronicles. Besides, this show is called Izetta The Last Witch, as in there shouldn't be any other witches. |

| The background humming during the fight was so fucking awful. Sounded like some random youtube cover of someone trying to sing in a language they can't speak and decided to just hum the entire thing. The instrumental part itself was fine. I think this is like the first time the soundtrack has ever bothered me. |
Loonie said: zcv45 said: Contrary to everyone, the first half was less entertaining to me... Felt too much like a cheesy war drama. The 2nd half was more action packed not without flaws but it does what this anime advertise itself as. Except the tree crashing scene which felt a bit too cheerful in the middle of a fight. Have you served in the army before? Having served in the army, I really appreciated the first part. How the glasses mc fell asleep with the heavy helmet on his head. How the enemy advanced in squads of threes (with covering fire from a machine gunner squad). How the trenchlines were dug in a winding manner to route away bomb blasts. As for the second part, Izetta is too OP. She needs some opposition else every battle will be one sided. Maybe the Germania officers will turn out to be vampires or something. I didn't complain about accuracy. I was impressed with the trench zig-zagging as that help prevent enemy from just spraying down people from one end to the other. However that doesn't mean it wasn't cheesy in how they portray the glasses guy. In every show about war, you have that nervous inexperienced guy that's quiet and nice. That's just a big no for me. What I mean by first part is the part BEFORE the Germans attacked. And yes Izetta is OP, though I do expect there to be opposition later on. Pretty sure it was to cement that she has lots of influence on the outcome. It was still pretty cool to see. Though I like to see normal battles more I wouldn't deny that Izetta throwing the tanks around was pretty cool. |

| Izzeta had an important role in this episode, demostrating the way the white witch is important for that country, and how they have hope in not being invaded. The special effects and coreography are very well done. |

I don't think there's any dark side to Izetta's power. The humans are the dark side, and the preview suggests the higher-ups from Eylstadt will try to use Izetta as if she was a thing. Actually, that's rather interesting. I wouldn't be suprised if your prediction were to happen. |

| Izetta kicking arse was the best part. Fucking majestic. |
soluuloi said: Neromon said: I don't know, but note that I'm not talking about which side is right/wrong, I'm sure the American movies wants the audience to root for their side but do they give screen time to German soldiers and make them look like bad guys or less human? It wasn't that big of a deal this episode but did warrant a question mark from me. You mean like Rambo, King Arthur, 300 or all of the Vietnam War and WWII movies where main guys (mostly Americans) are always the righteous and the most important player with almost no flaw while the bad guys are horribly portrayed? Get out. This anime portrayed the Germania much better than Hollywood portrayed America's allies, pff. It's 3rd episode, Izette hasnt get her uniform yet and you expect the development for villains? Are you people for real? It was an honest question, I have only seen a few American WWII movies . And who said I was expecting any development from anyone? I just prefer stories that are more than good guys vs bad guys, which is what I've gotten from this anime so far, but I'm not denying that there's still potential for growth. |
| I love this show. I love how they've maintained the quality up till now. The way they animated Izetta throwing around those tanks was pretty good physics wise, and the fact that not every single tank just exploded into a billion pieces as well. Even that first tank where all the swords bounced off of it was pretty damn realistic. There wasn't really much progress in the story since we're still dealing with the skirmish from last week, but the determination of Izetta to fight for Fine, and Fine backing her up by sending the message to her soldiers, was beautiful to see. The death of Fine's father should throw a spanner in the works, as will that black haired dude asking for details about the battlefield. Not sure if he's friend or foe (though I'm betting on the later). Next week should be just as good, methinks. |

I'll have to go play it now.You know this universe kinda reminds of me of Valkyriea Chronicles and their blue uniforms kinda look like Galia's uniforms. I've played the game and if you take the similarities between Valkyria and this you could fill up an A4 page. Not that I mind though as I loved valkyria but I hope it throws in something different. |

| That was awesome ! It was so realistically made, I really got an impression of WW2 watching this episode. Izetta was badass to protect all the soldiers. Even the emotional parts are good. I'm looking forward to watching the next episode |

| Holy cow everything about that fight was spectacular, from the OST to the animation everything was outstanding! I loved when she ran into the tree and laughed out loud at the soldier's response to her when she asked to borrow the gun xD |

| A show this dumb really shouldn't be taking itself so seriously. It's passably entertaining, I guess. I'll resist the urge to drop it for another week. |
| "Izetta! -- TREE!!" I thought the lancing of the Stukas was cool until that got topped by her body slamming tanks. Not too shabby! I really loved the dynamic camera as it followed her across the battlefield. Outstanding sequence of animation. The direction and composition of this show is making a fairly simple plot (thus far) very enjoyable. I expect more irons to be tossed into the fire once we get back to the Germanian special agents. And something is making me not trust that one assistant of the King. |
| The sword that takes life gives life |
| Izetta knows how to make an appearance in the battlefield in a glorious way. |

| The most impressive part of the episode was the Princess's speech. It was as good as any great speeches I came across in anime. The least impressive part of the episode was the death of the current emperor and those snobby Germanian officers. Tyrel said: Bl4ckR4bbi7 said: No, it's not. If it is, it's some broken German.The song in the ending was so pleasant to hear, is that a german song? Maybe it is Austrian German. Eylstadt as shown in the world map in the anime is the western part of Austria in the real world. Anyway, I won't bet against some broken German assuming it was sung by Japanese people. |

| Fan service awkwardly done? Stop talking. Embarrassed posts like these are made on an anime site. Anyways, the episode was great. Direction on point, CG on point, war was the best fight I've seen in anime and ive seen almost 400 anime. This is great! Fan service also flowed well. Those who watched more anime would see that. |

It wasn't that big of a deal this episode but did warrant a question mark from me. Yeah, A lot of American war movies do the same thing. I hope they mantain the realism on this and don't destroy a germania tank with a single soldier with a tiny gun Like these movies when a Sherman destroy a Tiger at the front armor, or killing a entire battalion without getting any injury HereComesTheSnow said: Neromon said: Yes, they are evil... from our point of view. I'm sure the Nazis didn't think of themselves as evil, and that they didn't behave like stereotypical villains. My complaint was that the way the anime portrayed them, from their faces and the way they talked, it was clearly intended to tell the viewer "look, these are the bad guys". "Yes, unfortunately. The air bombing couldn't finish the job alone... You win this bet" says the Germanian officer to his superior, with a broad smile on his face. It's a minor issue but so far it seems reflective of the simplistic nature of the narrative. Not this bs again. Neromon said: Yes, they are evil... from our point of view. I'm sure the Nazis didn't think of themselves as evil, and that they didn't behave like stereotypical villains. Im sure Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge didn't think themselves as evil either when they killed 15% of Cambodias population nor Stalin after he ordered the widespread starvation of the USSR resulting in the loss of 20 million people. Fun fact, modern depictions of evil villainous organisations are based off the nazis, it's been that way since 1945, and having the nazis believing that their absurd racist and genocidal political beliefs were not evil and completely justified does not have any bearing on the fact that 95% of the worlds population acknowledges that by our modern day standards the nazis were through and through completely evil. Racist? That doesn't explain this in the Afrika korps And this in the other side |
