| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This anime is pretty slow-paced for how short it is...They've spent a lot longer in Guts' past than I thought they would. |
 |
| The GAR bookman! :P |
| im starting to really like this anime |
 |
| Looks like I underestimated Griffith vs. the King's brother. Or really overestimated the brother. Of course, I had originally thought that he would go after the king rather than Griffith. Anyway, next we get to see if Guts has the ability to be an assassin =O |
| The Princess pissed me off. She screams too much. |
| awesome the kings egg saved him devils luck |
 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. |
| Urgh. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Great episode Cant wait to watch Guts kill that scumbag |
| Griffith bears his "nasty' fangs for the first time. I love Guts's response to being asked to kill General Julius! |

supersayen said: Those eyes are scary. Behelit to the rescue. Next time, the "assassination". Let's hope censorship will not kill it. What fucking censorship! These comments about it are starting to annoy me. The show isn't censored in the DVDs, or any of the torrents. === The foreshadowing egg saves the day again! |
| This is starting to get really interesting.. I need to get my hands on a volume of the manga. |
| Right in the heart! It was predictable, but very nice episode. Damn princess was annoying as hell though. |
 |
| Things are starting to get really interesting. I have a feeling Guts is going to get caught. |
 |
| Would the egg have saved him if the arrow hit him in the head? Also it appears the black girl wants Griffith's kawk. |
| so slow... |
 |
| This was a good ep even if it didn't have much action. I wonder if the egg really did shield Griffith or if hes actually some sort of immortal, that might explain why he didn't wanna take his armor off in fear they would see he actually did get pierced by the bolt. Next ep Guts is off to assassinate the kings brother, cant see this ending well for him. |

I guess by censorship they mean people heads not being shown cut off, body cut in half, or eyes popping out do to having their heads crushed like in the manga. |
 |
| Griffith figured that out pretty quickly. The brother is a typical noble who thinks he's entitled to everything and a better class than everyone. Typical bad guy that I hate the most. Go get him Guts. |
 |
| Great development, it's good that he didn't die though! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| the similarities with Urasawa's Monster is strong in this one. I can feel it in my bones! |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| Guts looks kinda funny with a book :3 lol in the manga it was some medieval porn stuff xD |
| Great episode |
| Other than the whiny princess, it was a pretty awesome episode. The way Griffith looked at the royal guy after he realized it was that guy who wanted to assassinate him... scary. Looks like poor fellow is gonna learn not to fuck with Griffith the hard way. |
 |
| what crappy armor! |
| ---------My Profile------------ |
| Griffth's intense rage filled face was pretty epic. |
| It was odd hearing Griffith explain his reasons for killing someone, I thought Griffith would trust guts to just be a "yes man". And then Guts also felt the same way lol. |

Next ep Guts is off to assassinate the kings brother, cant see this ending well for him. yeah i was thinking the same thing...the arrow pierced him around the heart area and would have been really weird for that behelit to be there since he was standing straight. Not to mention that he kind of blacked out for a few moments |
| Griffith's face when looking at that guy was so awesome. I like how they explained how Griffith found out who was attempting the assassination and not just "sensing" it like a lot of other shows would've done it. It's going to be cool seeing Guts destroy this guy. |
 |
| Ok princess please die you're useless lol. |
| It is becoming more interesting, we moved to something more engaging than "purposeless" battles. (aimless for the main characters and the audience, I know they have a reason in the larger world that we know almost nothing about) 4/5 |
| Very nice episode. Things are really starting to get interesting! |
 |
on 
| I don't think Princess Charlotte is annoying I think she is adorbs :3 Plus, she is a breath of fresh air from other stuck up princesses she apologized for what happened even though it wasn't her fault she felt personally responsible for what happened. Also, she has had a sheltered life thus far of course she would scream if a horse took off running all of a sudden it's a rather unnerving experience to say the least. At the same time I don't think at this point she can be considered a damsel in distress usually damsels are people you go to great lengths to save but aren't worth saying usually because of their bad personality. But, saving her in this minor incident wasn't a big strain of effort on Griffith's part and she seems like a nice person worth saving if in trouble and Griffith might have an effect on her to make her more determined in the future but that's only speculation I don't know what will happen maybe she will get worse. But, in my opinion right now she isn't bad or annoying ^-^ |
 |
| Slow Paced? Really OP? LOL Great episode, Griffith is so scary. |
| Griffith is the GOAT Guts' and Griffith's dynamic is one of the most interesting dynamics I have ever seen I don't have a good feeling about Guts going on to kill the general. Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| Every time I think that now comes the part where Guts and Griffith become enemies, it doesn't happen after all. Maybe next episode? xD |
| Casca was happy for Griffith when he was with the Princess(exchanging mating calls), I assumed that Casca has romantic interests in him. Well, at least it lessens the complications... phew. Griffith's eyes MAN!!! Time to go, Julius my boy. |
| --AbiSa-- |
| I can't be the only one laughing at the reed whistling scene thinking it sounded awfully close to the two dueling it out with farts. |
| Good episode. Griffith gets saved by his egg and realizes Julius is behind it. Not very difficult to figure out, since he was basically shouting it throughout the whole castle afterwards. A counter-assassination is set-up. Next episode will be quite interesting (I hope). |
 |
| Griffith's face expressions are extremely detailed and well animated. |
| I hate everyone equally |
| I loved this. 5/5 I really liked the major focus on Griffith and hime sama and it was truly unlucky for the opposing side that they messed up like that. The egg is the only "plot armor" that is completely acceptable. |
 |
| hol up is griffith boutta kill da crown prince, fuk sum royal princess pussy, & make himself heir then king like that?? Calling it. U heard it here first folks. |
