Well so they started choosing partners in this episode. That was fast. Same goes for that with Carl I guess. Smooth~ That almost looked like a proposal with the stance.

Their school actually looks kinda fun lol. If I was going to study aviation, I wouldn't mind it too much. I find the instructors to be hilariously entertaining to watch.

So glad I picked up this show. It's great so far. I am worried it will feel rushed, however, if it decides to cover all five light novels :(
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it!

Fun fact: Traveling 12 knots for 5 months would be enough to circle the Earth 20 times, or to travel to the Moon and back.

This world is pretty big.

EDIT: There's an extra zero in my math somewhere. Thanks to whitehairgirls for pointing that out.

Geeezz, I don't get as to what beef does the white haired guy have with the yellow haired dude?


For the moment there, I thought Wolfgang is gonna beat the crap out of that noble.

Thoughts:
0:06 do all schools have cherry blossom trees? Every anime with a school seems to have 1

3:19 Luis's hair is just way too long, even for a guy

3:32 so Luis is gay? He basically confirmed it with a wink… ew

5:13 again with the creepy white haired dude…

11:29 Mr. Bandereas is such a narcissist freak… that's the first thing I will think when I see some guy with long hair.

14:19 I have a feeling that the somewhat fat kid talking so eagerly will end up dying somehow

17:13 there's always got to be a "Melze" bastard in every great series eh…

18:27 what a proposal… maybe he did it like that cuz kal-el is a commoner & clarie is royalty

21:02 what a caring mother kal-el has. Hard to find them anywhere

-----------------
Overall:
1. The OP song really sucks me into the series

2. The story pace feels a little slow for my taste, but it's slowly unfolding

3. Gonna keep watching. I'm liking what the series is all about.

I thought so too. Which makes it more interesting. Loving the world setting :D

Some intros for the characters in the dorm and they all seem pretty fun. Liked Wolf. He's awesome ^^...The girls are all pretty nice.

No one beats Claire though. She's just adorable <3...And Kal seems to be more of a BA than I thought. He owned the cocky bastard and smoothly picked Claire up in front of the views of everyone :o...Nicely done :D

Some nice foreshadowing with why they have defenses and who against...etc

And Kal being a prince is awesome too.

Loving this so far. Can't wait for more ^^

Nice episode. Liked seeing more of the other students. The class segregation between the noble class and the commoners should lead to more interesting conflict. Another thing that caught my attention was how the teachers responded to Benjamin when he asked why Isla is so heavily protected. The students look unaware of any conflict that might take place. Definitely looking forward to the dogfights in this series.

I find it interesting that Ignacio knows about Kal-el's past as a prince. I'm looking forward to learning more about Ignacio and why he doesn't like Kal-el.

Still enjoying this quite a bit. The world building and slight mystery to the school is keeping interest, as is of course the whole class conflict. I liked the dynamic with the newly introduced group. The pairs were pretty obvious, especially Chiharu and the eager fellow. I figured Ari would end up pairing with Ignacio.

That reveal at the end sure adds more intrigue as well. Now Carl reminds me even more of Oz. It feels nice being able to assume him and Claire are virtually a lock at this point.

So Carl is nobility and now we begin to see why that L-elf Ignacio guy is so disgruntled.
Maybe the royals did something to his family? As is usually the case.


I really liked that scene where Carl (Ka-el, Kal, Ka'el?) talks about etiquette then kneels before Claire, pretty much leaving the other snooty blond kid speechless.

Wolfgang's a really nice guy but him being the same age as the rest of them is amazing.

I think you did your math wrong.
12 knots x 24 hours x 30 days x 5 months = 43,200 knots. Convert that to miles and you get around 49,712 miles. The circumference is about 24,900 miles, so you would only circle the earth twice.

I bet that one noble will insult Ka-el and degrade him and then it is revealed Ka-el had a higher status than him and he will lose it.

^ this, haha. he blushed when they questioned his age, so it must be out of embarrassment because he looks so old for his age? :P

additionally, i really like where this COULD BE heading.
fav scene: where Kal pwned the blonde snob and got the girl in front of everyone. that my friends, is what dreams are made of. i salute you Kal-el!
i'm intrigued by the ending, there are a lot of ways you could think this is going. i need moar!

Well Ariel and Kae-el aren't childhood friends. They are step siblings. Also what is annoying about her behavior? Both of them act like normal siblings. I really hope this show does't pull the stupid trope of her falling in love with Kae-el.

Kal-el showing that snobby noble who is the man around here. Loved the frustrating expression on that jerk's face. Claire is lovely as usual and although its in the synopsis it's interesting that the gray haired guy knows Kal-el's past. What's the connection? Can't wait to watch the next episode.

I wonder who Axis really is. Also, I wonder why Carl changed his name. I mean Balsteros still exists, did his family get kicked off the throne or something. I guess not, if they were, he probably would have been killed along with other members of the royal family. I guess I'm just wondering why he's not a prince anymore.

Kal-el, that was smooth. Was like a proposal
Ah so, Kal-el Albus is actually Karl La Hire, former crown prince of the Balsteros Empire.
NoblesVsCommoners, going to enjoy seeing more of that
Curious about Ignacio and what he'll bring to the anime, and also the reason behind why he doesn't like Karl.
Nice episode again.

I have a newfound respect for Karl, shutting down that blonde noble while getting what he wants with one smooth move is pretty impressive.

I like how the show makes fun of Ignacio by cutting him off mid sentence in the next episode previews.

Karl was like a smooth criminal when he asked Claire to fly with her, of course after putting that noble guy in his place. This episode was better than the first, I really like the way they capture the world in this show, it is just so amazing to look at, I would really want to fly through the place. But one thing that bothers me is how obvious they made the pairings in this show, you can tell that each pairing from the cast is going to end up in relationships towards the end, but after that, this show is pretty awesome. I do want to know more about Ignacio though, there has to be a reason why he is so isolated from the rest, and I'm sure it has to do with Karl considering he grabbed him by the hair in the OP and the ending of this episode.

Wolfgang...what a man XD

That flight pairing is like the show telling us "here are your pairs."

Guiche Faust got put in his place haha. Super smooth move by Karl. I let out a little squee when he took Claire's hand :D

In Karl's flashback, he was standing atop a tower with his mom with his mom telling him "fly free." Heavily suggests they were exiled and confined in that tower. Most likely usurped since their empire is still there. I'm guessing Ignacio Axis's is from a family who supports the La Hire royalty and seeing Karl act all carefree is what upsets him.

I love how the preview just cut Ignacio while was talking. It's like saying "shut up emo kid" ahaha.

Well... Looks like the feels train has begun. I feel like this anime's going to be one of the better ones of the season, and I'm excited~~! Kal-el and Claire are just so cute together, and that plot twist (can it even be considered that though) was something else.
Monday seems like the perfect day for this to air, actually... I needed something on Mondays and I think the feels train anime we've got here is the best fit.

...if the image BBCode on signatures would start working again it'd be greatly appreciated ;~~~;
