| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Welp, and Tigre interfered in this fight. I see that Ellen isn't pleased. No surprise there. Overall, an amusing episode. That silly dragon made me smile though after making Tigre fall into the river. Oh and I don't think Ellen likes what he said with Sofya on top of Tigre D: Looks like Ellen had quite the trouble fighting this episode though. |
 |
| Man that was rushed they missed out yet another battle...... |
>Black Knight >armor is purple Roland's hair is clearly black. His armor is not. Talk about messing it up. At least they skipped that creepy Greast. Though they messed up that assassin's attack and left out a lot of things. Ah well, it was expected. They'll finish up volume 3 at this point. Time for next episode. |
 |
| Not a bad episode but it was clearly rushed ;_; |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| That was so rushed! >_< The dispute between the cloud was answered after the commercial break without Tigre's explanation... Ludmila now announces that she is neutral on the current Brune upheavel. But Tigre is now labeled as a traitor. ._. Hoho! Sofy-sama and that voluptuous body! <3 She's the third Vanadis whom Tigre has seen naked. xD Roland looks so cool wielding that Durandal. He instantly reminded me of Guts from Berserk. :o Also, Roland's armor should have been completely black. >_> Tigre's amazing archery skills manages to impress again. He shoots it upward but it lands exactly on the neck of Roland's horse piercing its neck. But Tigre is badly wounded. Sofy-sama arrives to help Tigre and Elen escape. I really love how well they designed Sofy in the anime. <3 |
| Sofya on top of Tigre was a sight for sore eyes. That blue-ish little dragon seemed upset seeing that. Haha! Figured he got hit by that giant sword. Still, his skill with a bow is unmatched. Although his defenses are weak. |
| It's not a bad episode and not actually a good one, so It's decent. We can totally see the episode is too rushed ;_; Still going to wait for next one |
 |
| The little dragon put up quite the scene.... |

| i feel like playing "Jeanne d'Arc" while watching this...With dragons and more boobs ofc... |
 |
| So much for seeing "Urs" for a second time! It bringing Ludmila to become natural. It was nice to see a little of the gathering troops thing and a small dispute on rather to side with the knights or Zhcted! Roland, the black knight that seems to beat Ellen in terms of sword skills and managed to injure Tigre! That was quite the shot. |
 |
| The start was really fast. In one moment they were fighting, in the next moment they were already at peace... |
| The only thing i hoped this adaption would do well is the Ellen vs Ludmila fight, which it didn't. Roland is finally here, i thought i won't see him till the next episode. anyway Ok episode. |
| Yet another battle that lasts for as long as this comment. Quite disappointed. |

Stay in yesterday 時を止めて |
| decent but man that felt rushed |
| shitty episode again, some fighting action for a moment (which was ok), and then Fan serice everywhere for at least 70% of the episode mostly build from bouncing boobs all around on any size - Ludmila,Titta - Ellen - Lim - Sofya...... (ranking by breast size from smallest to biggest more to come :P ) this new war maiden Sofya is a walking Fan serivce remind me of Shizuka from Highschool of the Dead, They couldnt make her look anymore stupid. dont get why near the end of the episode when she fight with this "God of war" guy she fight like this without using any of her wind skills like she done while fight Ludmila. |

| It's feeling a bit rushed, they didn't specify the fact that Ludmila recognized urs through the fletching of the arrow and just turned it into an assumption. |
| I like, how everytime I forget it even for a second, the show immediately reminds me that it is indeed a shitty LN adaption, with all the trappings which always come with shitty LN adaptions. |
 |
| And we get to see our third war maiden. The whole politics is getting a bit confusing, but I guess it is true that Tigre is becoming a third force to compete to the existing two dukes. |

| I've never read the source material, but it's clear they are rushing through things like there's no tomorrow. It's a shame really. This series has so many good elements that I would otherwise appreciate more. The new antagonist looks honorable enough |

| Meh, boring ep. Why does every ecchi show has to have a cow with Z-cup boobs ? .. |
| This episode just reminds you/makes you wish there were more than the 13 episodes it was getting. As everyone here has stated, was waaaaaaaayyyy too rushed. I need to re-read the manga to figure out what it all cut out. I remember Tigre saying something to Elen about not being able to ues her LA twice in a row and I'm pretty sure that Sarrash guy did more than just leap in and then get shot. Lol at the end of Elen & Mila's fight when the narrator's talking - M- Oh are you jealous? E - Shut your mouth pee-wee M - What'd you call me?!? (subbed) & the face Tigre & Elen make when Sofya's fallen, naked, on top of him was fantastic. Lunie might as well be the Accidental Naked Fairy Dragon for Tigre. Elen doesn't use Ley Admos on people, even when almost getting beat huh? & Sofy is the peaceful one of the war maidens, so surprised to see her attack there at the end. |
| Just a quick reason why Ellen does not use Ley Admos very often or during battles. It's an attack that is short ranged and requires her power to charge up. As a result, she can't move and the wind shield is actually also all put towards charging Ley Admos. Basically she becomes a sitting duck. |
| Good episode, they jumped from a fight to another, but they could had prolonged a little more. |
| Man... I really want to love this anime but I can't stand some of the mistakes it continuously makes. Not only is it rushed, and choppy but the battle scenes (outside of 1 and 1 combat) just look awful and feel out of place. I guess I should just read the LN instead |

| The show is nice to chill to so far but it's going to be one of those I forget. |
| So Ellen vs Ludmila eh... A fight between two war maidens sure is epic. Tigre... BOOM HEADSHOTZ! Awww, Ludmila realized that Tigre is the hunter Urs. So... the war between them just ended eh... and Ludmila declared her neutrality in the matter... That black knight Roland sure seemed strong :o ALL HAIL THE SILVER METEOR STORM!!! XD I think Tigre is trying to see every war maiden naked XD. LOL... treason... That awesome shot came at a price, now Tigre's badly injured. Awww, Sofy to the rescue T.T |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| Five Volumes in 13 episodes is pretty fair unlike Mahou Sensou which was 11 vol. into 12 episodes. and yes, I have read vol 1-9 of the LN. |
| I felt that the episode was pretty fast, and the protagonist was with fortunate to always, a naked Senki appears running and falls on it, and then she still becomes an ally But now a difficult opponent appeared, want to see how will be the next battles And the boobs jump even more during the fight, poor Elen, so it could not keep his balance on the horse .. |

There's nothing more stupid and more annoying than people complaining about fan service in an ecchi anime. |
 |
| That boob jiggle when Ellen dodges the attack from the Black Knight... |
Kyouraku-san said: Meh, boring ep. Why does every ecchi show has to have a cow with Z-cup boobs ? .. Umm.. I don't know what to say to that complaint when your avatar is from High School DxD That aside, I love this anime but jeez the pacing.. |
| I am really not satisfied with they way they treat the assassin part, this greatly reduce the cuteness part of Milla. They didn't handle how she recognized Tigre=Urz too well either. Besides that, it's a fine episode. |
| Despite that this is one of those series with a harem element and a decent amount of fan service, it's still one of the better ones out there (one where I thought the LN was at least worth reading) so I think it's a shame that it's getting absolutely destroyed by the anime. Not that this was the kind of series that would deserve multiple seasons, but by cutting it short like this the company adopting this is certainly making sure that it's underwhelming enough for only one. For the time being I can only hope that the scenes skipped over are being reshuffled for the future rather than cut out altogether. Generally, it goes without saying that the LN tends to feature more content than the anime, but I can't think of any series with this much disparity between LN and anime. I actually feel like I'm following two different series as I read the LN and compare against the anime... |
| ive never seen the source material and even i could feel how rushed this was. Not much i really feel like saying about this episode. More obnoxious tits. More awesome bow skills from Tigre. More mounted combat and map explanations. |

| It's not the content been cut thats the problem is the god awful pacing and to a lesser degree the directing. The content is actually fairly solid, it's the pacing it rushes from one scene to the next with very little narrative or build up and frankly I wouldn't blame people who haven't read the novels for not having a clue what the hell is going on. I'am still enjoying the series mainly because the main voice actors have done a fantastic job in bringing the characters personalities to life, but as it stands the best I can give the series currently is a 7 which is sad because if this series had been given a decent director and the budget it deserves it would easily be a 9. |

That more or less sums up how I feel; I feel pretty lost, even with those chess piece explanations (though without those, I would be even more lost). I do like the characters and the general premise is pretty neat. I just don't really completely follow what's going on half of the time. |
 |
| Jesus they are rushing at lightspeed any faster and I think I wouldn't understand the plot. |
| Haha, Tigre is one lucky guy with all his lady luck :D Wow, first tie Tigre injured badly and I wonder can a mere human like Roland actually defeat a war maiden when they are not holding back. |
 |
| I like how decent Vorn is. This is how a harem protagonist should be. Ah man I love this anime, it reminds me of all those real-time strategy gsames. Yup, that's how I would have relaxeed if I was in Tigre's place. The girl with weird hair is here, quite shameless. Ah man, Vorn and his beyond-human bow skills. Srsly I don't like how horriblesubs translate some parts without any effort. Saying "They're all yours" sounds so weird when it should have been "Sorry, I am leaving it to you." But then again, can't complain much when we are getting these for free. |
 |
| As someone who read the books I'm quite annoyed by the rush job they did So much detail and info us missing making it hard for some people to follow. As stated by others they're skipping them in favour of the fan service/harem element. But I digress. The episode was ok on action and is hoping they do Roland justice for his role in this arc. But my guess will be the money will be blown on cg later on during the final battle, those that read the book might know what I'm.referring to. I'll keep watching becuase the voice cast is doing jiatolice to the xharactas at least. |

| It's so easy to tell that this is so rushed,as many others already stated,without being familiar with the LN. It's a damn shame too because even as it is,it has a certain charm to it,a certain mood & atmosphere,with some interesting war politics & strategies,which means that if it wasn't so rushed,Madan no Ou to Vanadis could've been a really good or even great anime. The events in this episode could've easily been stretched out in 2 or hell,maybe even 3 eps. I mean,we just got done with Ellen's attack on Ludmila's stronghold and there's barely little downtime before we move on to the next battle against Roland's knightly order. A little aftermath,downtime & build-up towards the next battles would add so much to this show. It's one of those anime that you can appreciate & enjoy it for what it is but cringe and get a little frustrated when you know what it COULD'VE been. The rushed adaptation trend is something I don't really want to get used to,especially not when every now & then you see some that get it right even if they don't have an Unlimited Budged. |
