| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Good start, I kinda like with the historical-military themes. The pacing kinda feels like it dropped you into the middle of the story though. In the meantime, we got an alternate setting around the 1940s (WWII). I feel like there's a blend of realism and military fiction. There's some minor service but I didn't find it distracting at all. Fine (the blonde girl) seems like an interesting character so far. I think the show has potential.  |

| Pretty impressive. Fine is a really good character so far |
 |
| Not bad at all. Some small suspension of disbelief breakers, but I thought it was well paced and well directed. Art and animation fit the setting, and I especially like the Germanian designs. Fine is a strong lead so far. And the yuri bait man, everyone get on board! |
 |
| That was great, I loved this. Excellent start. The first segment felt really magical, Got chills. Art looks beautiful and the animation is crisp, The soundtrack is fantastic too. The train encounter was really exciting to watch and that jump escape was just awesome. I love Fine already, First episode bath scene plus she looked beautiful in that dress. <3 Love how convicted she is and the lengths she was willing to sacrifice herself in order to save her country was really respect worthy. From her negotiations with the Britannian ambassador to that audacious declaration aboard the plane in front of the enemy soldiers, She was just so cool, Inspiring even. XD The story especially with the small nation defending itself against the all powerful empire seems very reminiscent of Valkyria Chronicles but with a more political narrative I suppose. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to how this is gonna play out. Also rifle broomstick FTW. |
 |
| Surprisingly solid start, it will be interesting to see how the show works Nazi occultism into its setting and which genres it will tend to more. |
| Jojolion anime when? |
| i can only think of suou pavlichenko when i saw that rifle |
 |
| this was a pretty good start, i especially liked the music in this episode. the protagonist and the alternate history setting seem interesting too, looking forward to how this continues. |
 |
| Really like the first ep. Hope, it won't get down. Also, Fine is a decent strong female lead, which is rare thing in anime. |
 |
| Fucks brooms Gun riding is where it's at  |
 |
| That Princess Fine surely a brave and energic person.And she have to see one of his servant dead in front of her eyes. And she WILL become stronger after it. That thrilling moment, when the plane lose altitude and the Izetta "revived". |

| This surprised me, im honestly impressed with this first episode. Everything was done pretty nicely and I enjoyed the scenes on the train. Most of the invasion scenes were the ones we saw in the preview and I hope the rest of the series keeps up the decent CG for the aircraft and thanks. My favorite thing about the series is the ost, hooked me instantly and works well with the setting. Gonna keep my expectations low until I see 2-3 more episodes but this series definitely had a strong start in my opinion. I just hope it doesn't go the 'girl single handily turns tide of the war' approach. |
 |
| That was a very strong start.The princess isn't an annoying and weenie brat and that makes her more likable to me.I like the setting of the WWII and the action is intense.I hope the witch will be a good character as well.Let's see their interactions next week.Maybe we will see a much more detailed flashback about their first meeting. |
 |
| fine start. i liked my first episode of the season |
Chimera-Ant Arc sucks A1-Pictures is great Lelouch is alive  |
| DAT OST. DAT ANIMATION. DAT EVERYTHING ❤ |
| This wasn't an amazing start, but it wasn't too bad. Of course it's only the first episode so I'm not going to judge it too harshly just yet, but if it keeps this up then this show could potentially be a decent surprise in a rather lackluster season. |
| 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. |
| A good start. I'm intrigued in the story for sure. I did notice a little bit of service which made me roll my eyes but apart from that this show definitely takes itself seriously, which I appreciate. I feel like this will be one of the better shows this season. |
| Getting real tired of this yuri undertone shit. |
| so far.. a great start :D |
| Well, that was a pretty solid start ! Just hope that its not going to go downhill later. >_> |
 |
Promising start. It was cool how she used that gun as her broom.  Hoping to see some actual yuri, and not just yuribait.  |

| That episode was awesome. I'm not a fan of historical anime but this is quite interesting. Thumbs up for the soundtrack (it gave me goosebumps). |
| Liking traps is gay and liking Lolis is Pedophila. Come at me bruh! |
| It was an okay start but doesn't really interest me |
 |
| holyshit, that's actually pretty good ?! I like the atmosphere so far and charater design by BUNBUN, I'm sold |
| I'm a sucker for historical dramas, so I'm in! I usually don't watch anything other then Japanese dub, but I'm sure this already good show will be even a little bit better if it gets German dub in the future, like Girls und Panzer got. Guess I have to check amazon.de regularly for Izetta-DVDs later on! |
| The tank models looked good but other vehicles were animated at a lower framerate, why? |
 |
| Pretty good first episode Visuals and soundtrack were impressive |
| This reminded me a lot of Valkyria Chronicicles in terms of Tone and Story. i'll keep up with it. |
| A great first episode in my opinion. Love the art in particular. Really curious to see where it goes, however. |
| Splendid first start! Some really great action pieces with the daring train escape and the eventual plane rescue of Finé by Izetta was exciting! The art and animation is really lovely, the characters are splendid and the CGI works every effectively. WWII as a backdrop with seemingly fictional countries pretty clever but they could have been a bit more clever with the naming schemes and maybe altering the map of Europe a bit more. Renaming the countries you might as well rework the geography as well but that's a minor nitpick. The music score is fantastic I might just be seeking this one out down the line at some point. Great start to the fall season I can't wait for more. |

SchwingBoner said: You're going to be extremely disappointed then. You know for a fact that nothing is going to happen other than undertones to try and sell them BDsHoping to see some actual yuri, and not just yuribait. |
| Pretty good start, and I like Fine's character. The animation was pretty nice. One problem I have with episode is the witch. Also the episode felt a little dragged out for some reason, maybe that was my own patience. I'm looking forward to ep 2 though. |
Shuhan said: Getting real tired of this yuri undertone shit. This. I just want to see girls being good friends to each other but shows are always adding in yuri undertones to make them seem gay all the time. Like, you cannot enjoy a show about friendship at all. And you always have the fandom going like this.  |

| Yes, that was very interesting (i liked how they depicted Austria so to speak, i'm german and went there often, so nicely done that) Animation's pretty good, at some points even hella fluid. We'll see how that goes, i liked the start. |
| This wasn't a strong start. I already have some doubts. |
  |
Shuhan said: Getting real tired of this yuri undertone shit. Hear, hear ! Hopefully its not too bad. |
| Wasn't a bad a start. I think Fine and Izetta have the possibly to be really strong characters if done right even though I do sense a bit of yuri in it (not a fan of yuri just saying). The plot was simple enough but I wish it had some sort of unique world building. Maybe they could've explain a bit more about the witches as I think that would draw people more into the story. Overall it was decent but could've been way worse. The two main leads I think have potentially to be strong female characters if done right. The story was a bit on the simple side but I do hope the witches have a big role in it so that it would make it more interesting. Hope the story can stay decent as I am a bit worried it could have pacing issues but we will have to say. |
| What a kick start! WW2 theme, and quite fascinating with the background, and witch Izetta. I do love it with its realism, military fiction and the unnatural twist! tbh i really love this combo of story! Just by 1 episode this might be one heck of a anime, i mean the animation, i most say is really beautiful, and the Sound is great and incredible designs. diffidently will be excited about this story! |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| Damn! I was not expecting this to be so exciting and good! This first episode had me totally captivated, I'm super into Fine and I'm excited to see where this will go. |
