| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So they added some more childhood storytelling about Ren and Ayumi...meh. Honestly, this TV season (there are still more episodes after this) felt dull. It didn't heighten my interest for the show and it just reflects more events up to this point. Malleus is still a character that hows her malevolent personality even in this episode...and I can't find her interesting at all. The episode had some dark violent moments although I wasn't impressed by it either (torture scene of Malleus). Schreiber is savage.....! Might read the VN sometimes in the future but this anime adaptation was really dreadful. |

| To ruin something what has potential of Fate Series to this trash... This is as bad as Umineko and worse than Tsukihime... THERE IS NO DIES IRAE ANIME You guys should rather just watch this compilation of VN openings which is better then entire season of anime. |

| Was that a nod to IKaBey?! Anyway, Schreiber's mecha skeleton looks awesome. So, anyone knows when the ONAs will be released? |
 |
I would love to see IKaBey get adapted or at least translated. No idea about the ONA, though I am still looking for any information about it. |
| Got to see how Ren and Ayumi met each other and some backstory for Shirou. He simply cannot die. Schreiber was a savage in this episode. He just crushed Rusalka's head. His giant skeleton was cool. This was a terrible show overall. |
 |
| Anyone else felt like the anime was very confusing? Anyway, I really can't say anything positive about this show. Absolute garbage. |
| Help the industry and buy Blu-rays and DVD's. Noragami is the best anime ever.  |
| Knew they'll add a Claudia flashback in this fight. Not in a way I imagined, but still.. IkaBey translation, where are you : ( |
| Well, this was some hot garbage. Apparently this series had the source material to match other VN adaptations like Fate if its fans are to be believed, but what came of its anime is, by far, my strongest candidate for worst anime of the year. Not only are all the characters flat as a wall and underdeveloped, the animation looks rough and unpolished, and the pacing is all over the fucking place, the story is impossible to understand, and has no conclusion to speak of, but this also pushes away anyone interested in checking out the VN, which, apparently, are pretty good. This show started to stink form chapter 0, and the only reason I continued to watch it was to see how bad it got. At least that's one thing where it didn't dissapoint. Shameful. I don't think I need to explain what score this will be getting. Edit: Apparently the last five episodes of the series will be streamed online as ONAs, which fucking baffles me. WHY? WHY AIR THE FINALE OF A TV SERIES EXCLUSIVELY ONLINE INSTEAD OF JUST AIRING 17 EPISODES? Well, after this mess I certainly won't be waiting to watch them. I don't care how good they make the ending, this still fails as an anime. |

| That birthing and ryona scene ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Malleus just wanted to live. Mercurius telling shirou his friend's backstory and his plan. Schreiber with his skeleton mecha end the season, on to the ONAs. |
 |
| Pretty bad anime in almost every aspect. Not much to say, tbh. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| Looks like Ousama game has a competitor, but atleast Ousama was funny, this shit's a complete mess. |

| In time, you will know the tragic extent of my fapping's... |
| Overall I didn't really have any idea what the hell was going on......partly because I lost interest and gave zero fucks about even attempting to understand the events taking place. The story was all over the place, and each new episode made me feel like I skipped 10. I don't have knowledge of the VN, but you don't need any to know that this was an awful adaptation (to put it mildly). |
| 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. |
| K, how can one be mother and sister at the same time : ( ? |

| The absolute worst anime I've ever seen. |

| I'm gonna be honest, I still belive the VN is good (i've never read it). I just think that this is one of the worst VN adaptations ever. The music was the only plus |
 |
| Well, the show, at least the main one we still got OVAs left, is complete. Im beating a dead horse here, but this is just a terrible adaptation. The Shirou vs. Wilhelm fight here was hype af in the VN, but it just felt...lacklustre. And like some said, Shreiber's behavior doesnt make sense at this point, but basically the only way he can express himself is through bloodshed. He cant comprehend anything beyond that. 5/10, not the worst show ive watched but still hella boring and disappointing. Couldve been the show of the season imo if it had more than just crowdfunding. If anyone else is still interested, please read the VN on steam, the common route is free to play. |
 The peasant is bound by the king. The king is bound by the peasants and their kingdom. But the Viking is bound to nothing but themselves. |
| People who do not understand that this adaptation was produced to advertise at Visual Novel, you are really funny. At least the producers have assumed to have had budget concerns that this was not going to be famous. How do you want to adapt a visual novel so long with such a small budget? Oh my apologies, shonenfaggots or people not wanting to understand anything because 60 QI can not understand such things behind the production of this anime. it's not famous, but it's not crap. |
| Holy shit this is one of the worst VN adaptations ever delivered, thanks ACGT |
| wow, how uninteresting this anime is one that I have not been able to become attached to; that's troublesome, I couldn't understand the detached episodes either... who's the redhead, she's one cynical character. who's ren? |

| Even without reading the VN, it was pretty obvious this was one awful adaptation. I should just get into the VN one of these days. |
  |
| at least we got to see Redheads panties |
  |
| I regret not dropping this. I didn't expect there'll be worse than Rewrite and Tsukihime when it comes to VN adaptations. Now I'm very unsure if I want to play the visual novel instead. I love Rea and Rusalka and they're the reason why I made this far... |
 |
| What a garbage season it was when I was forced to watch this one till the end.. |
| The VN is a bit pretentious at times, but overall it was a blast to read. This adaptation was an embarrassment. It's utterly bad. It's clearly was made to appeal to the VN readers and not get any new fans, because I'm sure newcomers were lost af while watching this. There's still the ONAs left, but I doubt they can fix the mess this adaptation created. If the VN is more like an 8/10 for me, this adaptation is more like a 4/10, solely because of the fantastic music (though if I haven't read the VN, this series would've been more like a 2-3/10). Easily the worst visual novel adaptation I've ever seen. |

| Wow the level of hate here ..... can't blame tho there wasn't any redeeming aspect about this anime besides some fan service extra scene for the VN readers Okay, everyone, this anime was is trash but if you see any potential in it you should give the VN a shot, the common routes are free on steam it's about 10 hours of gameplay and cover up to Ren vs Reinhard fight but with A LOT extra content the anime jumped over |
| Well that was 4 hours of my life i'm never getting back... |
| What an absolute mess of a show. Can safely say I won't be watching the rest of the ONA when they are released. The show just made me feel like I was watching a group of kids with their toys, playing super heroes with over powered abilities that made no sense. and nothing is explained and stuff happens just because. The only thing I can say I enjoyed about this show was the soundtrack. I would happily buy that. 2/10. Would not recommend this to anyone. Put it in the trash where it belongs. |

| In time, you will know the tragic extent of my fapping's... |
| I hope Rusalka won't die |
| New enemy appears and defeats the old enemy in mere seconds again and again and again Lmfao Kasumi and Rea are the only reasons I'm still watching this |

In the anime's confusing events that a non-VN reader tries to make sense out of, succeeding only to a degree, it leaves one with the thought that "Hey, this could actually be super interesting!" which in turn makes someone like me, who was never a big VN reader(I've read less than 10 in total) and haven't touched one in like 2-3 years, really want to read it. |

I am not big fan of VN either, I only read 4 Visual Novel and dropped one of them I still had blast reading DI because of the ost and excellent characters |
| There was no sexy scene with Kei in the shower. 0/10 |
gophercg said: What's that weird foster dad trying to experiment on Ren? (queue snk Eren's dad) Who's that zoning out in the torture chamber (Marie?), that Shirou saw then just ignore? Who's the random white hair (Cloudia? with the best art of the entire episode) role in the story? Lots of Malleus scenes seem pointless. Oh a crazy eyepatch dude, even more tokyo ghoul besides Bey. 1.he wanted to gain more power and such by figuring out mercurius's sorcery or something along those lines 2.dont remember but probably kasumi? 3.Claudia, she's from Interview with Kaziklu Bey where she's a main character, she is not in DI Rusalka is a major character in the fourth route so all of her scenes just foreshadow her story there, more or less |
| the fight between Shirou Yusa and Wilhelm Bey was EPIC! everything else is confusing... 4/5. |
