| I haven't read this part of the source material yet, but it seems like they're really rushing through this training sequence. The whole thing seems to be all over the place. The female characters plus the dude with the freckles are fine, but everyone else hasn't really done much for me yet. I'm liking Endorsi, and she's made me smile a lot more than Rak and his chocolate/turtle "humor." My biggest gripe though is that I'm just not really getting the whole tower thing and how it all actually works. |

| The static pacing of this episode as well as the cutting of some important context (which should be easily noticeable even for an anime-only fan) is just frustrating as hell. The comedy parts just feel slapping to the background and thus add nothing particularly positive. Anak's revelation and backstory felt SO underwhelming due to the above issues. That's why I personally feel like it didn't feel so deep compared to the manga's take (not like the manga version of that part was necessarily amazing). I'd hope they go right back to those flashbacks in the next episode, but no guarantees. Is it just me or does Anak and Rachel seem like another version of frigging Sasuke and Sakura, respectively?? I digress, cause I REALLY hated the latter two. |

That would be good. Training and honing one's skills is a pretty vital part of stories like this imo, so I'm just hoping that it's done right. |

| They didn't include the part where Lauroe is teaching Bam when he commented how others were "talented." I really liked that panel... Seriously, even on previous episodes, they give more time to Shibisu's comedic acts then rush the other contents. |

Anak's parents were murdered by their siblings because they broke a rule. I don't see a resemblance here except for the fact that they are both revenge stories, and revenge stories are common anywhere in anything. you just spoiled the story nicely anyway I didn't ask for anyone opinion if it's same or not, just saying what I think until now |
 |
| The first half was very unfocused, probably rushing through some parts, but the second half was phenomenal. Possibly the strongest part of the series so far. A lot of good focus on many new characters. |
 |
| Pretty chill episode for the most part until that revelation about Anaak in the last couple minutes. Hopefully that will be expanded on further to flesh her character out more, because that whole thing seems interesting. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |

I am not surprised if they wanna past season one in this season. is around 80 chapters they are at around 33 right now. |

Even if I was a fan of the manga series, if an adaptation of it presents itself as underwhelming, I'm gonna criticize it. Not because of fidelity issues, but due to the directing choices or other things. |

| Ah the training has begun for the basic positions. they haven't covered yet the other terms specific to the positions though. Shoes on display analogy of the Jahad princesses is accurate but those same shoes can kick your sorry arse not only six but a million ways to Sunday! |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| This episode was great, and I'm finally warming up to this show at last. |

| Lots of things I’ve gathered from this episode, Rachel and Bam - Rachel has a reason for not wanting Bam to know it’s her: either it’s the fact from last episode that acquaintances can’t be in the test together, or her ‘reason’ that Bam and her would burden one another, or something else entirely (Endorsi called her a troublesome woman, so Rachel likely has a secret/something she’s not saying) - We learn why Endorsi abandoned the Crown game last episode (Endorsi says she saw Anaak and wanted to confirm something, and that ‘I guess someone also convinced me to’ which is probably Rachel) - Bam, as last episode showed with his Shinsu, is more powerful than he appears...this is hinted twice (once with the Administrator saying the contract is a shackle for him, and again when he is able to control the Shinsu easier than Hoh) Princess of Jahad - There are two princesses of Jahad taking the test right now, Endorsi and Anaak - Princesses are not actually sisters, but recruited tribes/families (as sort of ambassadors for the tower) - Anaak is likely not the real/original holder of the Green April and not actually a princess... her mother, the Ranker was. (Her mother chose the path of misfortune according to Endorsi) - Anaak is probably not her real name but the name of her ‘mother’ (Endorsi called her an orphan, so adopted probably) who was shown at the end, and considering Khun’s info, the mother is likely dead which makes sense for Anaak’s revenge EDIT: someone confirmed orphan wasn’t supposed to be there, so likely a mistranslation by the subs - Endorsi calls Anaak an impostor because she’s not actually a princess, her mother was, but she likely assumed her identity to exact revenge on those who killed her mother (ie. taking all the swords, and trying to kill all the Jahad princesses) - Yuri is the only genius Fisherman who was granted a 13 month series sword in 500 years Tower - Tower battles are team battles, consisting of 5 roles within a team (Fisherman, Spearbearer, Lightbearer, Wave controller, Scout) - this hints that Bam’s group may be getting two additional members in the near future |

| Revenge is no good. Great seeing how everyone is being classified as. And love how the alligator dude is a try hard lolz |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |

RinTheWanderer said: Doesn't that happen a bit later? They could still put it in episode 7. No, it happened right after the first class. Before Bam could even form a bang. It's actually an important scene imo bc it shows how ridiculous is Bam in terms of learning skills and growth. Meanwhile in anime version, he tried and failed to form a bang already. |

hd_nexus said: The episode was ok i guess. They skipped some important informations, and the animation (fight and characters animations) was pretty inconsistent (for a seasonal anime with 13 episodes). Hope they can fix everything if there's a second season. What do you guys think about the animation? Its kinda meh.I guess the weak part of this show.Fights have no substance to them.Felt pretty lacking.Still hoping they would improve the future animation although from what I see this studio is inexperienced for a fighting type animation |

So Orphan and Anaak is her biological mother. PS.The scene may have not been as clear as it meant to be. |

| That was more interesting than the previous episodes. And finally explained some stuff with connecting characters more. It was in dire need of character intereactions |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Wtf?! She's not the real Anaak? I've found her very interesting since the beginning but wow... she has some fascinating backstory! I'm an anime only, so I don't know anything about the characters beyond what's been shown so far but there's something about Rachel that I don't like... I can't put my finger on it though. I'm also going to guess that Bam isn't human like he appears to be |
 |
| Finally a somewhat decent episode. Who knew those dumb tests were the problem all along. |
Galvanometer said: They handled the scene where Bam makes contract with the administrator well I really liked small comment "Are you here to make a contract? Or do you wanna fight?" tho hahaha. Also, the animation this week was weird. It was nice when there was action but static shots... were so warped at moments... lol. |
| I can't wait for next weeks episode but i rlly hate cliffhangers. Hopefully the princesses fight will be awesome. Bam low-key dumped Rachel which was great imo haha |
| They skip some important information like bang/myuu thing for wave controller and detail explanation about fisherman lightbearer mostly smh. Anaak vs Endorsi dope tho. |
 |
| Looking forward for a 'real' fight in this world. The fake Anak already demonstrated that despite your position in a team, you can still be an adept in other fields. I did like first part of the episode more. Training sequences, more charakter development and interactions between different team members. Baam still is a bland protagonist but at least you get 'must protecc' vibes for him. |
 |
Can we stick to anime only information please. Anyway that was explained in the next scene so maybe next episode. |
| Holy hell this adaptation is so bad. Why they gotta cut out 50% of the content from the webtoon. It only going to get worse since there are over 40 chapters to cover within 7 episodes. |
| I am more interested in the crocodile and Khun than Jahad and Rachel. I am not able to understand what it is about Rachel that annoys me. I don't think she's done anything till now that should make me dislike her. (By the way, she can eat a lot of chocolates, huh?) Khun seems to have received a banter buddy. lol. Bam has started wearing the clothes from his MAL picture. It's so adorable! Kind of reminds of kids when they reach their "I need to be cool" phase. |
kavehym said: I was eager to see how they will turn the shinsu enhancement thing into the anime since it was handled well in the webtoon, and the result was pretty much disappointing. The webtoon handled this scene far better. Completely agree. They are pushing the water thing way too far. It seems like they have no plans on making shinsu change properties, which makes no sense since in the manhwa characters change shinsu in so many ways, be it a different element or form... Here, it's just waterbending |
