----------------------------------------
The skirt and panties jokes...

I got mixed feelings about the episode. The humor comes out as dry while the characters are hard to get attached to. As for the setting this episode, I like it better than the previous one as it has a more grimmer atmosphere.

Felt kinda bad for Ren this episode though as he put into a rough spot.
That Malleus girl seems like a dangerous character to face against.

Oof. They are rushing through the source material now. The lead up to the fight should have taken at least another episode. Overall not a bad episode, but they made some pretty bad choices here.

On a side note, I'm mad they took the time to animate the skirt scene instead of more important stuff.

Copy pasting from the previous thread so more people see it

I was looking for other subs to recommend to people and found out about "Weltall Subs"(Added them to fansub list), much better translation that helps around in some dialogue that was hard to understand in CR release, also translated op/ed lyrics which is nice since they're very related to the story


CR subs are genuine garbage with lines that make no sense or are poorly phrased and make the series hard to understand, for example in episode 0 Reinhard makes comments that have little consistency with the rest of the dialogue "the destruction of love?" when he should be saying "My essence is destructive love" or something similar. In episode 1 there's things like "Leonhart, the missing valkyrie" that should be "Leonhart, Valkyrie's REPLACEMENT" which are completely different things and one makes sense to the plot while the other doesn't. There's also the aaihsaasfbaSTURMFUHRER and silly german ranks that are not used in the original japanese but CR felt like putting there. Of course there's also more noticeable stuff like Malleus being changed to Marie.

As for the episode, I liked it and i'm glad they're not doing this slow while keeping important and cool scenes there because damn I forgot how boring DI common route can be until Shirou is introduced. Also makes me wonder what happened to episode 0, yes it was a special apart from the show but it's still quite weird it looked like that. Don't get me wrong 1 and 2 aren't Akira but they look good, pretty much like standard anime nowadays. My guess is that it was unfinished or something, i'll wait for BDs and see

I don't really agree, there's a lot of filler in the common route that would be really bad for a visual medium and would make the series like 3 cour long, they're adapting a bit of it to show Ren's normal life and then show how everything goes to shit but more than that is not really necessary.

It was a pretty good episode. It was indeed a rough time for Ren. I wonder how this will progress. I didn't read the manga but I could feel this is a bit rushed though. I hope it's not.

Rusalka is too cute:)
at least now he knows it wasn't a dream, since waking up somewhere random in middle of night shouldn't be enough by any means, you know sleep walking isn't unusual, he just forgot to think about it.
I just hope it won't be just girls getting to be classmates>< Bey should as well damn it would be fun, he feels like he would be just like Midou from rewrite in oppai route. Then again Rusalka said its just them 2.

So in the end Karl seem to have hes own motivatation for hes relationship with Reinhard, I need more of him, the dialogues with him are always.

Well I see why they started with episode 0. The prologue started with some entertaining characters but we had no context of what's going on, then when we finally get to the main character and get a clear story, it just feels lacking, at least early on.

A slightly better episode. That skirt scene was dumb. Something took over Ren and made him kill a woman. He took quite a beating from Wilhelm. Rusalka and Kei are going to be attending his school now.

This episode was quite rushed, and in spite of the fast pacing not bothering me since I approve of them picking up the pace, some of the scenes were really poorly handled. One good example was that part where Trifa wanted to ask a question to Ren and then Kasumi (a noisy girl who lacks subtly) just gave them some privacy getting the hidden meaning (doesn´t make sense, especially when she bitches some seconds later... and their conversation was really short in the anime). Even his conversation with Ren was really rushed.

Another scene that was comically bad was the one where Kei stops Wilhelm and during her initial speech, the image is there frozen, with Wilhelm shaking on his knees for near 4 seconds (like Kei is that strong in comparison to Wilhelm and he was still trying to attack Ren lol). Lmao, that was so facepalm worthy.

Oh well, at least the Rusalka scenes were handled well and were entertaining. Shame that they didn´t add a monologue to Ren after he woke up on the park, since she healed his injuries and didn’t mess with his memory like that vague scene could have suggested.

On another note the butchering from CR continues. Seriously confounding Ren calling both Kasumi and Rea (senpai) as him saying "Kasumi-senpai" shows the lvl of attention they are putting on this.

Way more fast-paced than episode 1, which I honestly don't mind, the common route is kinda slow until like chapter 5-6. My theory is that they'll adapt around 1 chapter/episode until the story starts to get into Marie route, then they'll slow the pacing down, or so I hope.

The comedy was nice, too bad that Lisa didn't interrupt Trifa like she did in the VN, or showing Trifa drinking himself to sleep because of Rea's comments.

Anyway, nice episode. I really hope they improve as the VN is very good and honestly not that hard to adapt (the story is not overly complex, though the characters are).

I think they also changed the Divine Vessel with Priest of the Grail. Like WTF CR. Oh, and they are still keeping the German names for their military grades...for some reason (even the VN had them translated)

Hmm, I don't think you should expect much from the school setting it will probably last 1 or 2 episodes depending on the pace.

Yeah, I also noticed that one. It was bad, but to be honest I wasn´t that surprised considering they are messing up the ranks and other german terminologies. Now messing up character names two weaks in a row, now that shows the lvl of attention/dedication they are putting on this since they aren’t even doing QC in the translation.

Don´t know about the others, but the last one isn't a mistake though, since Lisa´s name can also be spelled that way; and I think Riza is the correct spelling per the hepburn romanization.

This reminds me of Chronos Ruler from last season. Little to no effort in explaining the action, but in this show, there is almost no context to it. It feels kind of like a harem too... that's probably what it will devolve into.

I really don’t think the comedy belongs. It was so out of place for me, given how episode 0 and 1 went. They were serious, had action and raised a ton of questions. The comedy and fanservice came out of no where.

So far the anime seems all over the place, it’s a mess. But I’m giving it one last episode before I decide if I’ll drop it or not. I really hate dropping anime.

I'm just gonna safely say that this series is basically for the VN community because it still feels convoluted to me, especially being a non-VN reader for this. All I'm getting is EDGE EDGE EDGE and symphonic metal. But it's still early I guess.

From 1st time point of view, the series may be confusing now but its not that hard to understand situation.

Eventhou we still don't know about the "why", more or less we can still understand the background settings. Episode 0 tells you a little how Nazi long ago transformed into a group of monster for a certain purpose and later past through a portal. Then now starting from episode 1 in Japan many weird things happened, and the Nazis are now in Japan for some reason. Obviously both are from different timeline, one from Nazis and one is current Japan. Regarding to "why" Nazis are there and the potential power inside MC, we will know in the future.

As someone who has the read source material, no no it doesn't devolve into a harem. The anime is just doing a really shitty job of representing what the VN is all about (for example there was a significant scene between Mercerius and Reinhard that they didn't animate and instead decided to anime the fucking panty-shot scene)

Came back to this thread and, like I thought, people are just more confused than before. They really shouldn't have cut out the scene from the VN. Episode 3 is the last chance they have to explain what's actually going on (And they should since it's another mandatory plot point.)

But given how messy this adaptation has been, they may cut that out too. God I feel bad for the anime only's.

Finished the Common Route and most of the side stories.

Huh, they left in the panty shot scene, it was funnier in the VN tbh. Also the pantsu were better drawn in the VN.
The part where they meet Valeria was ok, it rushed through most of dialogue but im guessing they want to skip through the boring parts quickly. Even in the VN, the begining parts were dull. Oh, and they hinted at
I didnt think they were gonna mention that at all.

ITS KAZIKLU BEY NOT KAZIKLI BEY, REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. That aside, the fight scene was ok, its not on par with most modern anime. But Bey's voice actor is awesome as always. But at this point, i bet anime-only have a vague idea of whats going on. I pity you lot. Granted, in the VN it was quite vague too, if any of you dont mind a bit of potential spoilers, i can tell you about those scenes going through Ren's mind that were probably confusing.

Overall, this show is going at a lightning fast pace, perhaps a bit too fast, but i bet they want to blaze through the boring parts. Its an ok adaptation so far, but i really wanted a Ufotable quality anime. Guess that wouldve been too good to be true...

Being really honest? I kinda like it but it's one of those shows that is rather confusing. Now it just seems like opening up more questions than last time, however despite that it was still enjoyable nonetheless.

I think this was more so to establish and build up before the actual shit happens, so hopefully once that type of stuff kicks in we'll have some action-packed scenes.

And about the subtitles, yeah I've noticed that CR at least for this one isn't doing a very good job on translations and it can be quite buggy.

I could be wrong but I think they censored Bey's dialogue from "Yellow Monkey" to just Monkey which is still racist but... less I guess.
Also i don't remember if it's in this encounter where he mocks Japs for being Kamikaze and losing the war, understandable that couldn't make it into the anime. Then again I could be mistaken it's been a while
