| Damn, only one ep left. Just when the story is showing strong signs of taking a majestic shape |
| "...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth') |
| I wonder if that Hermes is the real Hermes.. (because Andragonas said he died or is an imposter or smthg?) He does look like Arslan though I don't know how the story can be solved in one more episode, really. |

| Wow is it just me or the art, animation and the story telling was way better than the ones before this? It got cleaner and simpler but the details are there so no complains here. XD What a big coincidence that Turan settled their internal squabbles to finally attack Pars while it was fighting to drive another invader who captured their capital and may very well be on a war for royal succession. Sun Tzu would be proud... And where's the princess from the other kingdom looking for Hermes now and her guide, the mountain bandit who admits to be the second best archer in Pars? Oh dear I hope they settle some of these lingering questions and loose ends on the last episode. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Great development in this episode and well I wonder what the last episode will offer us! |

thisiodfkln said: Damn this is a great anime. I'm actually surprised this episode was good, considering the plot involved such tired cliches like a legendary king-sword sealing an ancient evil. I always liked prominent narrators, because they provided a certain historical authenticity, if necessary. Gieve is especially interesting. He breaks the fourth wall left and right, but does it without breaking character. He truly likes to witness all events from many perspectives, and then summarize them out-loud with a voice he loves hearing. These observations are nothing new of course. I just felt they stood out this time. Andragoras made good use of his limited resources. I can't imagine a single hostage will let him go free, even one of royal descent. Then again the former Parsian King is ridiculously buff, so maybe he'll overpower the opposition. This. And I know, they should have just killed off Andragoras, he's only in the way. But even as a fervent hater of his character, I did fangirl a bit when he busted out of captivity like some kind of heroic legend. That's where Arslan gets his small bit of GARRR from tofei said: Wow is it just me or the art, animation and the story telling was way better than the ones before this?

| Only 1 episode left, even though it feels like it's reaching the climax. qq I like the little flare of supernatural in it and how it's blended in so naturally. |
| That snake god cult at the end strongly remind me of terraists from LoGH, only way better suited to the universe. What a shame there's only one episode left, of course there's the new TV adaptation, but I much prefer art style of this anime. |
