| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Now that the proper introductions were done, it's about time Jeanne herself showed up in the show. Not exactly as I had imagined thoug with that personality of hers. In the meantime, the show establishes the MC's personality as a man with good intentions. Eh, still not sold on this show yet. We even got kissing this week that seems to tried to make a weird appeal with the way it was done lol Some of the guys in this series are also cruel bastards for hurting fairies. |

| That was still a pretty mediocre episode. That moment when you know that the character with the colorful design is gonna be the only relevant character in the troupe, not complaining though. XD The transitions from scene to scene are very jarring and almost feel out of place. One moment the village gets attacked, the next moment we see those fairies running away, the next moment they go back the village to find it burning, so do I assume the mercenaries lost? The next moment Jeanne is injured by rando soldiers, then Montomorency decides to give her power, we then see the mercenary leaders still alive, okay I guess these two were the only ones left but at the end we see such a large group of mercenaries still alive. Did the mercenaries even fight the army or did they just let the army burn the village? What? Jeanne's character was not built strongly enough to make me feel something during the scene where Jeanne asks for power, I wish they had focused on her last episode and given Montmorency his background story later so we could have felt something for her need to save people. The ritual as I'm gonna call it was pretty hard to watch though, the part where he puts the stone in her wound, damn. Anyway, back to major point at hand, just because you decide to make a character represent a heroic figure doesn't mean they don't need to be given focus, I hope that changes in future episodes. So Ulysses is basically Jeanne Alter. XD Come on, I bet the author is a big fan of Jeanne d'Arc and Jeanne d'Arc Alter from Fate/Grand Order. XD Action was pretty cool I guess. Will stick around and see if this gets better. |
 |
| Not a bad episode overall. Jeanne was cool the way she was beating those mercenary soldiers. Felt sorry for those fairies, being killed. |
 |
| I enjoyed it but it wasn't amazing - however I do hope that Montmorency gets a bit stronger in one way or another... |
 |
| The fairies praying that the invaders will go home was quite funny. Jeanne's personality and aura sure changed vastly after taking the stone though to the point she's an entirely different person. An interesting episode that expanded upon Mont's character and his motivations while also introducing new ones like Jeanne and La Hire. The insight into the power of Ulysses was pretty interesting though the price paid for using that power sure was steep. But what this country needs more now are not more soldiers but a saint a role than Jeanne will be perfect for. RIP the fairy tribe though those soldiers deserved their fate. |

DeepEyes7 said: So, any news on Richemont? Not in the episode, but she is based on a real life person, so it's easy to guess: She has sided with England, will fight France (the main characters) for a while and then come back to them. |
| Oh, now I wonder how the French viewers will react to the second episode. I am Russian, but it seemed to me that the image of Jeanne in the first half of the episode was... a bit offensive. Nevertheless, I liked that for such type a show, it has a fairly normal quality of animation and plot. I thought it would be more poor and silly. |
 |
| So, is this show about the adventures of Jeanne Alter and Gilles de Rais? |
 |
| Jehanne so badass. RIP poor little fairies. Looking forward to seeing them childhood friends. NTR scene anytime now. XD |
| Looking the way thing developed this episode (and the OP) Richemont has a 99% chance to be a sex toy in the hands of the creppy looking dude. Nice, seven years well spent. |

| 2D > 3D |
| I felt really bad for those cute little fairies, that shit hurt me A LOT....Also, I dunno how I feel about this man frenching a little girl lol Episode was decent overall though, and the action scenes were pretty good (Mainly when Jeanne went apeshit on those mercenary cunts) |
| It's not that bad. Reminds me a bit of that Maria virgin witch anime or Izetta. A bit better than Maria (which I dropped early) ... but not as good as Izetta. Without the focus on too much girls and boobs (La Hire could just have been a guy and not been made into a girl) this would have been a lot better. The alchemist stuff is nice and the violence and medieval setting as well. Also I'm okay with Jeanne. Her other personality when in Ulysses mode is nice. I'll decide after episode 3. Not to check the stuff I skipped and maybe decide on some things I'm definitely going to finish and/or dropping stuff after episodes 3. Hopefully not that many where I need until episode 3 for a final decision. For this anime here: We'll see how this works with the other girls. Seems next episodes it might be politics ... and well ... tons of other girls involved. (At least that other princess or something like that we saw in the preview.) |

Nice, seven years well spent. I think the MC is "kinda" late to help her. Just a bit. He probably thinks she still fighting, it was just 7 years. There some giants fighting for more than 100 years so far in One Piece. Its possible... But hey, if things didn't work well with Richemont he at least has a Psycho Loli now. |
| Those poor fairies and that lewd taking in of the stone. A silly show but I thought it was pretty fun overall. |
| well at least the mouth-to-mouth part and killer Jeanne was entertaining |
 |
Those poor fairies!  I don't mind this show at all tbh. The bust size is a pretty important plot. Jeanne is gonna turn one of those crazy yanderes that has a love interest for the MC, right? fair/okay episode, 6.5/10  |
 |
| We finally get to see Jeanne! Expected her to show up in episode 1, since the story is about her XD Those poor fairies, that was just beyond cruel! Those mercenaries should pick one their own size. Glad to see that Jeanne was able to avenge them. |
 |
| Did the episode go over 60fps? That was damn fast plot move. I can't believe those cute fairies just died like nothing after such a heartwarming moment. And Jehanne just went ape-shit and so fast forwarded the plot to joining the La Hire? Ugh can only watch this show for lost plotholes. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Feel the episode way too rushed, tbh. The scenes happened too fast and you didn't had time to rest sequence after sequence, especially when they introduced La Hire. I like the voice acting of Jeanne in her Ulysses state, I have heard her VA in Mahou Shoujo Site (and Pop Team Epic), but she has a nice lower pitch. FuryTank said: I hope my boi Gilles appears at some point of the story. Hopefully as sexy as the one from Fate.So, is this show about the adventures of Jeanne Alter and Gilles de Rais? |
 |
| Important questen for you guys: What happened to the other half of the stone? Did the MC use it? |
| An okay episode. After last week I thought I may end up dropping this one, but the romance may just save it for me, even if it started veeeeeeeeeeery awkwardly. Also, considering Jeanne d'Arc's actual role in history, felt it was a bit weird and off-putting that she would pray for her boobs to get bigger after praying for wars to end in what seemed to be a atleast somewhat sacred ritual. Seemed tonally inappropriate - and the boob fanservice is annoyingly obvious to begin with. |
 |
| Still not sold on this series, even tho it has some amusing aspects. The animated fairies at 12:25 were a bad joke. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| What the fuck is this anime even trying to do now? Like seriously. Even the blatant fanservice is fucking awkward as shit. I mean sure, dark skin babe with huge tits but damn we just randomly got a full-on metaphorical sex scene with the MC and the loli? I can't even XD. At least now we know how Jeanne became Jeanne Alter. Side note: In regards to this alleged NTR to come going by the opening and ending credits. Is that some head-canon because unless this MC somehow manages to become a magical pussy whisperer, her fate is just a bad joke. Trying to one-up Grancrest Senki on that one. |

| Don't believe the hype. |
| I'm sorry but that fairy part where they died is the most stupid shit I've ever seen in a while. How the hell would that ever be a good idea to go towards the enemy when they're giants and you have no weapons and any kind of plan at all? That's literally pointless suicide. |
| *Sees a young girl jump from a church tower and run ... let's say 80 m in a few seconds, and questions how she's going to achieve anything unarmed instead of doing anything* And judging from his reaction... that's either entirely normal to him or he just didn't have time to accurately think what the means and react the hell out Also a bit unsure as to why the hell plate armored troops would have bows with them. |
'Everything is impossible until proven possible.' - Me |
| Aw...the fanservice looks really annoying.... But....Jeanne can turns into Ulysses in 3 minutes looks interesting . |
| WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CAN'T FUCKING WAIT FOR THE MERCH whine whine whine complain complain complain fanservice this, fanservice that.. cry me a god damn river |

| jesus the pacing of this episode was all over the place, they just throw alot of things into one and expect some of us to care. normal Jeanne was annoying...Ulysses Jeanne was better, curious to see how the limitations are handled (i have no faith in them with the rate they are going so far) i couldnt care for the fairies...they had a chance but they were too dumb by turning back. knew they were just tools to set the premise for Jeanne and MC |
| This actually turned out better than what I was expecting from this series so far... However, if I've learned anything from anime, I can guess where this is ultimately going to end up: The other half of the stone is going to be chopped up into more pieces and given to more girls, granting each a different power and emotional characteristic - ultimately turning this into a harem of kissing and exchanging fluids with multiple girls... Jeanne will be main girl since [1] Her name is in the title [2] She's first [3] She gets the biggest piece of stone [4] She's the ultimate cute girl, turned ultimate badass = maximum gap moe. |

| Ok...the history of the war in the beginning went way too fast. As if anyone is going to remember what was just said... Oh so this is where the ending of Code Geass left off: I do like Montmorency's design though. That hat is stylin'. Well I have to admit, they did a good job with La Hire's design too. Clean character design so far. THEY'RE KILLING THE LITTLE FAIRIES!!! This is already darker than Goblin Slayer! Down the throat Montmorency's elixir goes. He's gonna be kissing everyone now...here we go again... Well they got the amplified emotions correct. Even when infused with the Philosopher's Stone, Jeanne still gets irritated with large breasts. "Acceleration" amplified. So Jeanne not only moves faster, but she heals faster too... This was a speedy episode, but I hope Montmorency gets some more action. You can't be styling that hat and do nothing! Also, despite the several moments focusing on La Hire's breasts, the fan service didn't really bother me much, so it's doing ok so far. So the next episode is "The Scheming Palace". Will this be when Jeanne goes to Chinon to meet Charles? That's one of my favorite moments in the Joan of Arc story, but I'll doubt that they'll make it that great in this anime. Oh well... |
 |
| This anime it's so close to be dropped.... The 3-episode rule can be the only way this can be saved. But the future seems to be dark to this one... EDIT: I hope the title won't change from "Ulysses" to "Another Example of How to Turn a High Ranked Light Novel into a Shitty Anime" |

| Go up, go down, go, come, take, bring, jump, scream, run. |
| Episode was alright nothing special though. i was thinking about the drop but those french lessens at the end looks useful, so i might stick around for those. |
| EEEWWW EEEWWWW EWWW, that drool. it gonna make me sick, Oh my oh my oh my I think I'm gonna puke....... |
| as expected, Jeanne (and maybe the winged fairy) is the only reason to continue watching this While Jeanne (and the fairy) is awesome, everything else feels like it deserves a 1 LOL |
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |
| That one merc totally has a version of Guts sword. |
| For those of you worried about Richemont |
