An interesting twist, but the story is faiing to be memorabe or epic, I dunno, the charaters seem shallow.. (but the swords are awesome!)

Also, the animation is lacking a little even if the art is fantastic.

I thought that the end of that battle was quite epic.
Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut.

I was hoping to see some field army maneuvers or something but then again battle was already joined when King Fahn's army arrived. Err so now what? I thought they will continue killing each other even after their leaders were dead.

I agree with OP, the characters are shallow, I thought Ashram would be a little developed by now, but he's still just a powerful guy who looks cool. The priest is probably the worst. Take him out of the story and nothing would even change.

Agree with most posters that the art and setting is nice but the animation is really lacking. I also have no freaking idea what's going on. The sliding dragons are ok, though it reminds of me of cut-scenes of really old video games. It's a good thing this is a short series.

Does anyone else think Beld looks like Ganadorf?

That spear from the sky was such a cheap shot. And then sending a bunch of lightning through it to rub some more salt into the wound. Brutal. :)

I feel the pacing is a bit too fast now, but maybe this was just a prelude to real story? To kill Karla who has engineered wars for 500 years now.

A drop in drawing quality in the beginning, huh. The faces looked significantly different.

I feel like Ashram could've easily slain the more-or-less newbie Parn but hey protagonists can't be defeated right?

Out of all predictable things, every one of them happened - Karla's involvement in the battle (which was awesome anyway) and the death of an unnamed soldier with a good luck charm (I was even starting to think he wasn't dead but the last 2 minutes of the episode proved me wrong).

P.S. Beld bears some physical similarity to Zwordar from Yamato, I think.

Sadly I agree with OP. So far I think it's enjoyable but it definitely lacks something. The drop of animation quality between this episode and the first one is also confusing, it's not something I would expect from an OAV. I mean, the monsters killing the soldiers at the beginning are the exact same shots seen in the previous episode, in which they were already used two times...

both old kings died

if Karla is the Grey Witch then like a Grey Jedi she is a balance of light side and dark side so i do not think she is the final villain of this show

Now the cool episodes will probably start...the whole crushes both factions that cannot own it fully. Also, I like the philosophy of the relativity and how it is difficult to bear and accept it if one is part of the factions. This is also true to the concept that is mentioned about memory in history.

Fahn got owned, predictably. I guess Karla must've finally felt sorry for the protagonists after they lost every single battle they were in, so she killed Beld to throw them a bone.

Ganondorf getting speared in the chest was amazing.

This show is way too simple and convoluted all at once for it's own good but if it ain't delivering on the metal album cover, Franz Frazetta style of absurd fantasy grandeur.

A fight between two old badasses, I loved how each army stood back and watched, the scene has a ton of gravity because of it. Let them fight it out.
