Ugh, Titta's mouth just runs and runs. One thing I do give her credit though is that she isn't entirely a coward.

Decent setup overall. The fantasy tropes kicked into fast gears though.

Way slower compared to episode 1.

They just adopted about ~40 pages of volume 1 in episode 2(i thought they're going to fight the dragon or even end the volume 1 in this episode, but nah, need wait til next episode)

Umm, guess anime will focus on battle and action part.

Slowed down a little, hopefully they take most of next week to cover the battle.

Now they decided to slow the pace and even incorporate flashbacks of some of the skipped parts. While I'm not unhappy about it, it's just a weird way to do it. Relying on flashbacks to tell something is not a bad thing but they're doing it more than usual.
Since the special covered that skipped sparring part(Tigre really should have gone with the tank), I assume some of the cuts will go to that segment. I can somewhat see what they can place there.

Zion is just one big fail. Not even doing a proper job to pillage a town and even failing to rape a maid. And he's going to job more later on. I feel sorry for the guy. He just wants to get recognized by his chichiue.
Tigre catching an arrow and shooting it back. This guy's a monster. And now he has the black bow.
Time for some mad archery and some dragon slaying.

A pretty solid prelude to the epic showdown that is to come next week. I'm glad that the progression slowed down in this episode vs last week rush fest. Tigre going balls out in this episode and ready to finally become truly OP with his new big black... bow. You know the saying, "once you go black, you don't go back".

Titta was definitely a bit too annoying as the childhood maid character here but at least she (and her tits) led to that Zion bitch getting completely owned (again) by Tigre. I could have used some more epic Elen moments/flashes. I'm looking forward to some epic "raging" in the next episode. And as always: Mo' Tits, (No) Mo' Problems.

That was awesome :D I don't get how they're planning to pace this but the pacing this ep was much better :3

Ellen blushing when Tigre said he's been thinking she looked beautiful since he met her was cute :3

Zion is one SOB XD what a loser :P The way Tigre just shot him from that far away directly at his hand was so BA!

And then stopping the arrow and returning it like a BOSS directly to the head :O

Not sure why you hate her so much so far (though I agree she does talk a lot), probably because I haven't read any of the LN/Manga.

Loved the scene when Tigre caught and returned the arrow.

This was a good episode, Tigre sure is badass, catching an arrow with his hand and then killing that guy in a matter of seconds.
Titta, is a bit annoying but I will get used to it in a few episodes.

nice pace, I hope next will be a good war..
at least, Titta is not a coward and very loyal(is it love? or it's just a fantasy?) to Tigre.. and some fanservice..

the only thing that grind my gears is "Tigre-sama, Tigre-sama, Tigre-sama, Tigre-sama"

I was expecting Ellen to ask for something in return for her troops and aid in the defense of Alsace, it's going to be interesting to see how everyone from Alsace will react to Tigre's decision of stepping down as their lord... unless Ellen gives him the right to govern Alsace in her name.

LOL, Tigre's new hairstyle made him look like a nerd or something...

Secret sword technique: Pantsu reveal and bra reveal!

Now that's an awesome handshot by Tigre!

Poor Titta was finally saved T.T

Of course the wind/sword likes Tigre :3

So Tigre has finally accepted the family heirloom and is taking it into battle... I bet he'll transform into a warbro XD.

I had to admit i was getting pissed-off to the part the maid almost got rape...then an arrow just suddenly got that asshole prick right in the hand, and not to mention that was pretty cool for him catching the arrow and returning it to the one who shot it..nice episode again...i hope that this keeps up..and maybe if i get impatient, i'll start reading the manga :D

I'm glad the pacing slowed down somewhat, it seemed like a lot was skipped in episode 1.

Tigre catching that arrow and sending it back was awesome.

You know for an Ecchi Harem series this has the least amount of ecchi and harem i have seen all season.

The PAcing improved in this episode for sure.

That moment when that prick got an arrow to the hand effing ... Nice... Tigre is a true master archer. also that bit about when he grabbed that arrow so effing bad ass and what makes it even more epic it actually showed he got injured badly due to that grab and makes it more realistic than a character who just goes badass mode and than like no injuries at all.

I know i am not a LN reader so i cant really speak for them but as anime only watcher, i see potential in this series, it is still early to tell how it will go but so far it does show potential i just hope they keep it up :)

I like this show.

Somehow I doubt it's a normal bow. Catching arrow and send another flying other way was nicely done. MC seems really fun and I'm glad female protagonist is not screaming over some flesh shown.

What I don't like, however, is the speed at which this is all happening. Now, I may be wrong, but it all seems to happen way too fast. I'll probably watch anime and then read manga. Character development is really minimalistic and no one seems to get more than few lines before action starts.
I'd like to get to know characters a bit more, so far they're more like genericMC#1, genericFemale#1, genericMaid#1 etc.
It's not bad they're generic, it just seems there's more to them than the show is presenting.
Oh well, it's only 2nd episode, so no reason to get bothered by it yet.

Read the novel if you want more character development and interactions, world building and the political aspect.

Liking the style of the action so far, just hope it has a larger focus on it than showcasing busty girls. You don't see a lot of legit bowman in anime, so this is refreshing.

At the very least the Harada Hitomi ED will keep me watching.

Only thing I don't like so far is how they make it look like Ellen is head over heels for Tigre, other than that it's fast but they've kept the story understandable.

Be aware if you want to look into the manga while not bad it's very fan service heavy, like other have said your better off reading the novels they're a pretty enjoyable read.

I'm glad they slowed down a bit I mean that pace in ep 1 was way too much.Liked the arrow scene too,hope other scenes will keep this quality as well especially the "duel" in vol 5

Well Ecchi was never focus of the LN as much as wars/strategy/politics I think people who would read this for only ecchi could be a little disappointed.

Yea I'm not a fan of how the're trying to make the story overall.....more generic or kinda less serious by tweaking some of the details but maybe that's just me.

Good episode! It made me start reading the light novel - gladly translations are available on BT. I hope they won't rush stuff because it seems like a decent story and surprisingly for a harem anime I find the protagonist likeable. Can't wait to see the black bow in action =).

Damn Tigre catching that arrow, and throwing it back, wow a badass archer here, plus he is getting another enhanced bow and arrow there, getting interesting there.

So there are flashbacks here, getting some character development is a great thing in here, but it should have more in it. Pretty good episode, I like how things slow down a bit and getting some flashbacks in it. Now the real battle begins...

another okay episode, seriously don't understand how anyone could say they"LOVED" this episode but to each their own.

Also as for the harem, I'm not to excited about it as so far I'm not a huge fan of any of the girls we've seen thus far but hey it's only episode 2

It's also good to see Rider from Fate Zero. He's a lot less happier in this but I will definitely be cheering for him.

Not a bad second chapter. The show doesn't go into the ecchi far end and most of the characters are pretty likeable. The arrow to the hand of the raping psycho dude was a definite cheer out loud moment.
next ep, battle with dragons should be interesting.

I'm usually not one to watch harem and/or ecchi shows, but I'm pushing through this because the story and characters seem promising (minus the secondary girls of the harem). I can't say the same for the animation, though. Every time there's a scene with running horses I cringe inwardly...

Nice episode.

That whole rape attempt and subsequent Vorn coming to the rescue was soooo predictable. Still satisfying to watch that guys hand get penetrated good.

Ellen's still awesome and grown dragons are brought into the fray. Hopefully they'll actually fight next episode, too.

Catching dat arrow like badass~
