When you put the last two kanji together, don't they mean "mask", ie. something artificial covering the face? It's more a translation of the meaning of the subtitle then the name of the subtitle. It might make more sense of why it was translated like this when the anime have ended. I can see why they localize it like that, but I wouldn't do it, Hm... To me, "False Mask" would refer to a mask (like Hakuoro's, and like some characters in this anime are wearing) that was, in some way, not authentic, or an inaccurate copy of a "true" mask. On the other hand, "False Face" sounds like a character acting to deceive other characters in some way. I'll just take your word for it and see how the anime goes. |

One is just more figurative(as in masks worn by characters) while the latter is m ore metaphorical(since the story does focus quite a bit on political intrigue) |

Both readings are more or less correct. |

Echoing 2 other before me, Yes both translations are "correct" in more ways. |

| great episode. really like the characters so far |
| Haku was less annoying in this episode. And this episode was very entertaining, I really like Ukon. Mamoro was fun too. |
 |
| It was pretty intense. And Kuon is just too cute ^_^ |
 |
| Damn, just when I thought : ''Did they at least gave that poor guy some proper funeral?!'', that scene happen... :/ He never saw it coming. Beard guy is pretty darn badass. So is Kuon. Jumping on the rocks and shit. I like that show so far. It has a good pace and the story is engaging enough. I'm super curious about what that weird goo is. |

| Well, they just done take a dump on the sci-fi part with that magic. |
| Kuon is best girl of the season. Love the atmosphere and the idea that Haku is more of a strategist than a fighter. Fresh air. Keep up, I'm so tempted to buy the game. |

Actually didn't read the genres when catching up S1, came as a shock then. MAL tags are not the most reliable thing in the world. Just a few weeks ago this was tagged as "alternative setting" and there are plenty entries in MAL with ridiculous tagging for ridiculous reasons. |

| Excellent second episode, the action isn't overdone and actually feels kind of legit considering the setting. Looking forward to more. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| the fan is back and the gore is back, the copy paste continues |
| What a generic OP, not to say it's bad though, just uninspired. ED is nice. Not sure what to think of the disproportionate power scaling, that swing from the boss of the gang that destroyed part of the cliff was like Karula++ in term of destruction. |
