| is that a Daedric Bow?...oh sorry just a black bow... |

| That Black Bow that Tigre is going to use looks amazing. I hope it has some hidden ability that makes it like the most OP bow in existence. Great episode!!! |

Oh well, an army of 3000, let's see how war maidens and the black bow handle two dragons. I wonder why the dragons couldn't go in.. "They aren't used to the smell of towns" seems like a reason that needs a ton of explanation. Yay for harem building, maid will lose solely because she is a childhood friend. |
| Tigre gets a new weapon cool. Can't wait to see it in action |

Childhood friend always loses :( Not that I particularly want this one to win, but there are some animes where I have wanted the childhood friend to win. |
| I'm starting to hate Titta. She's just too loud and annoying. The arrow scene was good though. |
| Episode 3 PV: |
 |
| Tigre even better than Robin Hood. I'm not sure anymore. Are the highlights of this series the war maidens or Tigre's archery skills? And 1,000 vs 3,000...did they forgot about the almighty war maiden? Numbers are nothing as seen in episode 1. Let us see what the dragons can do. |

| "'Is that something that prisoner says. Lend me your troop?" <-- that pretty much sums up logic this anime is following. "The enemy number is 3.000! We are 1.000. Do you think we can win?" <-- Oh, so you did agreed before even thinking about the odds? Really? And how the heck they got with their army to the city unnoticed (prior to the fight) when enemy was already holding siege of it? Eh? ... Ugh, this won't get any better. I am dropping this before I got some unrepairable brain damage by watching this. Nothing that stupid dialogues and bad fanservice here. |

I really worry about the intelligence of people those days.... |

| Is it just me, or does this anime make no fking sense?! Dude gets captured by enemy who wiped out his comrades in battle. Dude's all like, 'sall good - all's fair in war n love yo! Maiden chick's like, lol oh youuu. Dude's like, look I'm good with arrows - oh and btw you guys don't mind if I stroll out of here and go back home rite. Chick's like, nuh-uh ain't happening. Dude's like ok that's fine just give me YOUR ENTIRE FUCKING ARMY SO I CAN SAVE MY POS VILLAGE. Maiden chick: I ain't see no problem wit dat. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS THIS IS KINDERGARTEN LEVEL STORYWRITING?!?! Maybe I missed something huge that validates all of this, I don't even fking know.

He was treated with respect(apart from the assassin scene)so what is he going to do rage at her for been captured? Missed the part where she claims ownership of his lands for lending him the troops I see. I really fail to see what is so hard to understand. |

Well, at least the anime never explained or gave any indication of a time skip, so that's where I'm coming from. And honestly, I still don't see how being captured for a mere 50 days (because actually that's still pretty short) is enough to justify the War Maidens or whatever they're called aiding an enemy prisoner with their entire force versus a superior army (1000 vs 3000) EVEN IF it's in exchange for the crappy village he owns. I'm sorry, but if that's a fair deal then I'm batman. Idk guys, still seems like a load of bull to me. :| Either way, anime did a terrible job of going about the scenario however well the light novels made any sense out of it. |

Why skip all world building, politics, economics and methodology as well as for the most part skip the character development and character interactions that take place in the source material and cover 6 chapaters in eps 1 only too give the most generic/ worst character in the LN two eps of screen time when he shows up for only one chapter. Its bring focus to the weak point of this volume while skipping the strong aspect of it it is a mess in terms of the way their adapting this they even managed to make him even more generic in anime and still dumb down the plot |

| oh he's got the bad-ass black bow, oooooo shiny hes going to become super over powered and kill a dragon now |

| I understand why people would be pissed with this, because some of the shit that happens here is utterly absurd. But I think people are expecting a realistic fantasy war fiction out of anime, and that's a pretty huge mistake. You really expect an anime to bring to life a fantasy war story without adding in traditional absurdity like "war maiden princess queen whatever the fuck she is experiences love at first sight with enemy prince lord king whatever the fuck he is on the battle field"? Everything that happened in this episode made perfect sense in the context of the story trying to be told. It's ridiculous and unrealistic, but it's not anime unrealistic. And furthermore, the maiden woman helping Tigre out in exchange for his poverty city did seem like a fair trade to me when it seemed clear she was confident she could win. Especially when we take into context that she's in love with him because lolanimulogic. This could've been a lot better if it was done more realistically, but it's certainly watchable as it is. This episode was a hell of a lot more entertaining than episode 1, at least, as I wasn't utterly bored with it. |

| Some people seem to need everything explained to them step by step and have no reasoning of their own. They also seem to have no idea how war and how P.O.W were viewed back in the medieval ages and they think a person who holds only 2nd to the king has a max of 1000 troops. Also never mind the fact it takes time to gather troops and they were working under time constraints and here's a shocker Earl's have more then just a village to their name it's not tiger the Village head, in tigers case his land is amongst the forests and mountains and there are four villages and a small town as well as extra land around it. Also one mountain separates ellen's land and tigers so try to imagine if Brune and Zhcted are aggressive to one another and ellen decides she needs more then a single mountain in the way maybe some insurance in the form of lands perhaps were she can have troops stationed at , at all times and it would be ideal if that land has difficult terrain such as forests and mountains right. Also if Zhcted and Brune get over their egos and decided on peace then a highway can be made from tigers land to ellens think about that.... As for tiger acting the way he does Tiger was treated very poorly in Brune he has no reason to be loyal and he even says as much to be fair this only happens in the novel not the anime also yes some of his men did die and he also killed some if her men its war it happens also he was forced into this war so why should he care about his commander's death again this was only shown in the novel. Also tigers skill with the bow means he can break chains of commands by killing captains and generals from a range they think their safe and bring chaos to the enemy its very useful If you want more detailed reasons or in some cases any reason as to why things are the way they are read light novel because the anime will not giving them it seems |

ikramit said: If you want more detailed reasons or in some cases any reason as to why things are the way they are read light novel because the anime will not giving them it seems This is basically exactly my problem though. Everything may make complete sense, but the anime does a shit job at explaining, world-building and setting the story up. It's essentially as cliche and nonsensical as most mediocre anime, but for some reason this episode of this anime in particular threw me over the edge enough that I got pissed. I CAN indeed see how it can make sense, but the anime did a crap job at convincing me and thus I felt like venting a bit. And unfortunately I'm not about to read the light novel just because the anime failed to meet my expectations. If anything, the anime's turned me off enough not to want to. |
| I just realized the OST composer also did Freezing/Vibration. |
| They sure dropped the ball this episode. I understand the first one being rushed to all hell, but they really should have slowed down for this one. Dropped, and a shame because Ellen is an awesome character.

It was obvious though that a lot of time passed. |
| So after reading the first three volumes of the novel I have to say that a lot of stuff from the first volume has been skipped, and I can only imagine they're going to flashback to it at some point, because the trust between Tigre and Ellen/Lim in the anime is really badly developed. They skipped a lot of dialog and "friendship building experience" in order to get to the meaty action. Besides some people seem to forget that both Tigre and the girls are still kids, they're about 16/17, so you can't really expect them to act like cruel feudal lords. In the end, this series is not supposed to be very dark, this is not archery berserk. |

| So, might be a stupid question, but why the hate for this show? Its a rather enjoyable fantasy series so far. For the stuff about how they interact, he is still a noble, thus given a certain amount of respect until the ransom is paid/not paid. Even then, Elen is trying to convince him to join her as a retainer so as to get his skill as an archer. It seemed perfectly reasonable her helping him defend his town. "Help me defend my town from the invading rival nobleman, and I will bend my knee to you." Makes sense. And as for the LN... I'm trying not to read them while the anime is airing. I seem to have a reputation of reading the source material of an anime as it airs, and then annoying my friends with comments on comparisons, and straying close to spoilers (forget that they have spoiled bigger things than me... but whatever). Anyways, this is one of my favorites of the series, but all I hear is hate. Why? |
 |
| The pacing is a little slow but it isn't doing the series a lot of harm :D other than that, I like the rest :D |
 |
| Yep, I'm enjoying it :D I hope they wont screw up it the future episodes. This is kinda on the edge for me.. I'm not sure why but this episode reminds me of SNK.
