----------------------------------------
Welp the fighting continues...and it looks like Sofya dominates.

And it also looks like Titta is possessed by Tir Na Fal. Poor Tigre, he got injured...seriously he needs to be careful on the battlefield. No, I don't think he will die from being tired from the fight but that's definitely going to leave him in quite a bad shape.

Not bad for his shooting skills though this episode. I'm actually impressed by Tigre's ability for using the Black Bow.

Titta forcefully being stripped.

She probably didn't know she got possessed right? Must have thought Tigre is trying to rape her or something.

Anyway Tigre always remind me of Yona from Akatsuki no Yona.

I guess that explains it. They totally skipped a lot of content. I was wondering why is Titta screaming like that.

The Fight with Roland was ok, but end to fast same as everything on this series,
Tigre get new bow skills, look like it will take time until he fully recover.
Ellen cant let Tigre go - "you belong to me" X every second of the episode :)
decent episode this time - 4/10

man this shoul have been 26 episodes.

and if this would have meant super slow pacing they could have instead used the extra episodes to expand on the battles.

Tigre getting powers from a goddess.

Roland being able to go against so much people at once was pretty cool. Also how he admitted his weakness and surrendered.

Things are going fast though I have nothing to refer to, I just don't feel the "grand" feeling that I thought I would get while watching this.

They've already cut two full battles from the anime including the one against Ganelons forces just before Roland arrived which was when they dammed the river.

They've also cut alot of the back story which is hooked up into the whole over arching story, like the part about the frist king of Zhcted who gave the dragon tools to the frist vanadis who claimed he was a black dragon and how the vanadis are chosen the worlds gods ETC.

Just the frist arc would have made a great 26 episode series, real shame really.

MF Bunko J never made 2 cour series, i was hoped maybe Vanadis would be first one come with 2 cour when the TV anime announced, but nah, they still using same strategy.

Dat arrow doe... making Titta almost fully naked :3

Two war maidens can't defeat Roland... lol...

Freaking hell... can nobody stop Roland... oh wait, it seems he admits defeat and surrendered.

I am completely disappointed how they are adapting this anime. Well may be as standalone it may not be that bad but in my opinion its just a horrible adaption like FSN or FSN UBW movie. They already removed two important battle now this battle is cut short. It just feels stupid that silver meteor army lost miserably last time but this time they achieve overwhelming victory just because of mud even though Knight used their battle proven crescent formation this time. The plot looses all dept because of their meaningless mutilation, they even removed foreshadowing about Tigre's black bow, as a light novel reader I think it is related to why the series is called "The King of the Magic Bullet". Also Lim lost all character development.

Well I said too much but as a fan of the light novel I just needed to vent my frustration.

Roland's sword is one mighty weapon. Still Tigre took him down.

Cannot wait to see them fight Thenardier head on.

Wish they made this 2 cour so the adaption would flow better.

So to all who haven't seen the manga or the light novel: What do you think of the series so far? It is rushed, thought that's pretty much unavoidable. Wish they made a 24 episode series instead of 13.

Hopefully the story still flows with all that they had to delete. A lot of character development and interactions were cut out though.

I agree. The ecchi is weak. The plot has all the potential (according to the light novel readers) but never has the chance to realize it due to time constraints.

A long while ago I read about 3 chapters of this show and loved it, then heard that it was becoming an anime so i stopped reading. Now that I watch it I feel as if I'm missing major parts of the story as if during the show im dosing off and missing explanations. After this episode I was fed up with it (but still gonna watch cause overall I like it) and came to this thread. On to the main point, the goddess in this episode was suppose to give him power but from what I saw and the subs I read it looked like he had it before he even shot the bow. Where did that power come from?

Tldr: Just when the hell did he come to accept that he feels he can use magic? So far the senki have been around so he could ignore it saying they did it IIRC but this time it was just him.

So in the end the enemy lost the question is does Tigre still have enough forces to engage tho other enemies as the clearly send out that knight to weaken him and to buy time.
This means they are probably planning to do more towards Tigre army in order to weaken and delay him.
And it's clear they have control of the kingdom and do everything in there power to take out their enemies Tigre has a hard opponent against him.

Usually I try to hold off on reading the LN before I finish the adaptation (though in this case I'd already read a few volumes of the LN before the adaptation was announced), but for this series it actually doesn't hurt to read the LN before watching the anime because then you can fill in the gaps as you watch. Plus, this is a good series to watch to visualize the battles, maneuvers, and special effects from the LN. So I highly recommend those of you who're just watching to go ahead and catch up on the LN.

Well, we finally got the showdown that we were waiting for since last episode. Unfortunately with dat rushing, I didn't get the full effect of the battle between Roland and the War Maidens and Tigre. I have no clue what happened with Tigre's new "power" but I'm assuming it was somehow incorporated into his attack (which looked the same). Still, it was a boss battle and I look forward to the future ass-kicking of Duke Thenadier. I just wish this show had a few more episodes...

Yeah that is what is frustrating. If they bothered a little bit more this could have been quite awesome and now is just ok and getting worse which is disappointing.
It started good but this last episodes showed how the company making it isn't very serious about it. As i said, wasted potential.

This is a case of the novel company telling the studio they have to cram in 26 episodes worth of content into 13 with a very limited budget, I am actually fairly impressed with how the studio has handled it so far even though its rushed to hell the basic story line is or less still understandable.
