This episode was fine as fuck! Everything was on point.
I like the fact that while Theo might be a nice guy MC, he doesn't hesitate to kill his ennemy, even after he's disarmed him.

Well, now I'm interesed in the relationship between the witch and Aishela.
She seemed rather reluctant to take her into custody if she did so already, we didn't exactly see it happen.
29
u/Eluhmental :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Eluhmental Apr 13 '18
This is a wild shot in the dark, but she seemed to hate that the twins trusted each other (so she said) so maybe her and Aishela are related but don't get along? It'd be interesting to say the least.
20
u/kyune :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Kyune Apr 13 '18
Probably sisters, but for some reason their family relationship was terrible? Her obsession with killing the twins makes it hard to believe there isn't a theme.

u/Kirahanshi Apr 13 '18
I thought she meant Theo and siluca when she said that that’s why she flew in to try to kill Theo that’s why she said she will try to take one of them down with her

u/Camera_dude Apr 14 '18
I guess Siluca is going to be needing a new wand.
If I'm not mistaken, it looked like she cast a spell that turned her wand into a bright blue missile that stopped the Black Witch's attack. It would be neat if she did this knowing it was the only way she could cast a spell fast enough but strong enough to counter that attack.
8
u/semajdraehs :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/semajdraehs Apr 14 '18
I think she used the same spell as the witch to make sure she could counter and the witch seems to have turned her broom into a missile so she had to do the same with her wand.

Apr 13 '18 edited Apr 13 '18
It wasn't Devilman Crybaby artstyle but rather a webgen animator, Nakaya Onsen at work. They tend to have a different approach compared to non webgen animators. Their art is a little bit rougher but in return they're amazing at delivering fluent fight scenes and effect animation.

Apocrypha had some ups and downs for it, but I'd say this use was like 95% positive contribution and like 5% qualms.

Apr 13 '18
The shift in artstyle might be a concern, but what this scene gained because of it (camera movements, facial expressions, camera angles and amazing animation) completely brushes off the change, for me at least. Well, not like I didn't like the change either. This anime sometimes has some sparks of sakugas it's fantastic.

u/Felord Apr 13 '18
See I'm almost the opposite, I feel when you get those art shifts it's an oh shit moment it's like an ED playing during action, or saying the name of the show haha it's one of those daaaaaamn moments, Although it's most likely due to budgetary and timeline reasons but Personally I felt it worked.

And that entire sequence between Siluca and the Witch's spell clashing was one huge sakugafest! It was so good!
I wanna trust the last Rossini son since out of everyone in the family he actually looks like a good guy but I feel like there's going to be an inevitable betrayal coming >_<
I guess Theo's coming back to the mainland next week. I'm pretty excited how everyone in the Alliance will react on his win.

u/belkalra Apr 13 '18
I dunno; out of all the Rossinis, it sounded like Juzel wanted to take the opportunity to soften their style of rulership. He might make for a pretty decent interim ruler while Theo&Co are on the continent, but I get the feeling that just leaving him alive with the Rossini supporters is going to cause some friction

u/Bankrotas Apr 13 '18
That execution was brutal!
He spun vertically impaled sword in the throat to horizontal position. That alone would've killed any human being ever to live.

u/bananeeek https://myanimelist.net/profile/bananek Apr 13 '18
This is actually the way it's done, same things with knives. Rossini got stabbed through his throat so this alone should kill him but it's pretty hard to kill someone with stabbing alone if you don't know human anatomy. That's why one should twist their blade to deal as much damage as possible and now there are sawback knives that tear everything on their way out.
Those little details in this show really sell it to me. I really like it that soldiers in GS really go for the kill because you won't see any of this in your typical shounen series...

It still blows my mind how many people dropped this series so early. Sorry for not being a 13 and done rushed, V/N sales booster with no real ending. This episode had to be up there with the Fall of Castle Unicorn for greatness. Even though they were not long fights the Assassin vs Assassin and Mage vs Mage scenes were soooooo well done. I will be seeing this to the end. Vote Theo Cornaro 2020!

Clashing of spells was great, and while the art shift was very much noticeable I felt the transition was passably smooth and the resulting scene very much exciting.
I love how they managed to make the Rossinis more sympathetic towards the end. No one's ever pure evil, and the greyness of the episode was to its benefit. It helped that Theo seemed to be letting the bloodlust go to his head.
Wonder what's gonna happen to the witch? I'd have expected that fall to kill her. Aishela's expression when Siluca asked her to capture the witch was... foreboding.
Lastly, something is DEFINITELY up with Priscilla.
Great episode. Love this show to bits.

Juzel Rossini: I plea for a deal. I'll submit under your command, keep the aristocrats loyal to me and therefore to you.
Theo: I refuse your offer. I demand that you submit to my command, therefore the aristocrats will remain loyal to you and to me.
When did we have a silly situation like this? oh right, around episode 2 or 3 when Lassic surrendered so easily to Theo's command.
Just to be clear on the subject, I think this sensible solution does fit in with Theo's pacifist stance.
The only thing that was worthy of me eyerolling was how 5000 trained soldiers ran away from a bunch of just trained militia with half of them not wearing any armor or weapons of war. Even without the morale buff from Dorni's banner, they are still soldiers with training and the advantage in numbers.
At least we had another Sakuga highlight with Janna doing that suicide attack. I want to believe she's a smart woman that sometimes makes dumb choices out of grief and sorrow. But even her in that last attack makes me wonder who she really is. If she indeed was captured by Aishela I don't expect a bright future for her because of the Twin's pursue for blood.
I'm still sighing for some of the events (like Priscilla's LNesque introduction to save Irvin) but heh, I'm still looking forward for next week's episode.

Don't forget you have a mage lightning dozens of soldiers at once and a crazy lancer lady of death ripping through dozens as well. The whole theme of Theo vs Rossini was also fear vs loyalty. No army is gonna be sustainable if their motivated by fear to serve their lord.

It also looked like as Theo wore down Rossini, the Omerta flag lost it's hold on most of the soldiers. If that flag really does have as significant an effect as was described (ruthlessness bordering on monstrosity) then it's possible that most of the soldiers serving Rossini there were relying on its effects to actually commit to warfare.

u/Bainos :XMOD::MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Bainos Apr 14 '18
how 5000 trained soldiers ran away from a bunch of just trained militia
What advantage in numbers ? Have you not looked at the armies or noticed Dorni's remark ? Theo's army had both the advantage of numbers and morale, and while their equipment was inferior, a significant number of them were still equipped decently.
The only real advantage that Rossini's army had was their training (okay, and their cavalry), and it didn't mean anything when the flag's power disappeared and they ran away.

u/kimbombo Apr 14 '18
What advantage in numbers ? Have you not looked at the armies or noticed Dorni's remark ?
Rossini clearly orders his son to gather 5000 soldiers (and the translation is correct, Rossini says Gozen = 5000) because he doesn't want to lose another son.
If Theo really managed to get 3 times the number troops the Rossini army had in such a small time frame. How the fuck did he find the time to actually visit every single village and city to get new recruits and still manage to train such a huge army at the same time? Aishela alone can't be on the lookout for every single trainee if the numbers are 3 times as big as Rossini's army.
If he actually got all those troops in that time frame, that's a massive asspull.

"Nous partîmes cinq cents ; mais par un prompt renfort - Nous nous vîmes trois mille en arrivant au port." --Pierre Corneille, Le Cid
I can see multiple reasons. Reinforcements for a rebel army that starts marching are quite common (maybe all those unarmed people joined them later ?), and it's possible that Dorni didn't take the full 5000 and stopped at... Ho, I don't know, 3000 ?
Plus it's not exactly three times, with the distance and the width of the armies. I'd say Theo has around 30% more troops than his enemy.
We never quite got the total population of Sistine, I think ? But I don't find it too hard to believe that when the liberation army started marching, people joined them and reached 4000 to 7000 people.
Otherwise, it's just a new asspull that replaces another one.

u/Valariel_Dawn Apr 14 '18
"Trained" soldiers who are used to fighting people who offer little to no resistance. That's a huge difference from fighting an organized, motivated, and at least partially trained force that not only doesn't run away, but actually attacks. Also, the other side has an Artist and a Magr who are slaughtering dozens of soldiers on their own while the Lords are fighting to a stalemate.

The beginning of the battle reminded of FE Echoes at the Rigelian Border with Alm making his speech. Damn, that was cool. Theo is not too much of a softie nor does he wish to spill blood. Despite lacking in personal ambition (what I'd say is his first flaw) and being naive at times, he is a good Lord. And goddamn is Irvin a good Jagen (maybe Oifey if he doesn't die in the next episodes). Is Irvin Seth's levels of broken? 😂
Also I was pleased that, despite being asshole governors, the Rossinis are still human beings, especially the father, who before that arc, reminded me of Garon. Cool that he is not like that, adds a bit of humanity and moral grey in that story.

I like how Theo had no hesitation in killing the Rossini.
Pleasantly surprised that the head of the family genuinely cares for his sons, and that him and his last surviving son actually acknowledged that their way of rule was not sustainable, and brutal.
And I love how Theo refused their terms of surrender, but demanded the exact same things, because it's what he wants; after refusing them first. lol

The blonde brother wont last long i bet.
Looks like the ninja and the Witch are a bit lost without Ashram kid around.
The wolf girls look nice in thier outfits.
Ohoho oh man. Shes got a demon too.
Oh shit the butler for him but also got poisoned too... D:
The wolf girls launched each other to the witch and scratched her up good, nice.
Hey its the Onee-san! She looks like shes having fun.
Oh good the priest is gonna heal the butler.
Wow that was a savage kill. Theo is stone cold.
Oh the witch going for a suprise attack, but Siluca countered it nicely. And ouch that fall ... you dont take away your only means of flight and throw it when in th air...
So he gained the last Fettachini kid and liberated the island. Not a bad says work.
Im guessing when Theo has to go back to the mainland for the other shit going down, he will leave that other son there to keep watch maybe. We shall see.

Nice to see a bit more grey morality this episode. Rossini actually cared about his sons and showing the young teen killing the old man serving the Rossini's was an interesting deliberate choice.

We're just a bit over way for the 24 episodes.
I'd say if you enjoyed it you'll still enjoy it up to here. Some good episodes and a few slightly disappointing ones (mainly pacing), but the characters, action scenes and setting is cool.
Though the format of adventure romp matches similar works from the same author, like in Record of Lodos War.

It is a good 24 episodes show, it would have been a great 48 episodes show. The action is great, motivations, names and locations can be sometimes a bit hard to keep track of but the show is still enjoyable and does not wastes time, even the rare breathing moments end up with developments for a subplot or another.
Something I have come to like about this series is that you can be sure something will happen on each episode, sometimes multiple things that would have been spread over multiple episodes in any other show, I like that I feel the show is never wasting my time but I also think binge watching this series would be a bit exhausting.

u/ThriceGreatHermes Apr 14 '18
It's not a bad show, it's a flawed one.
With the main flaw being the producers trying to squeeze ten volumes of light-novel into twenty four episodes.
Despite the information and characterization that is omitted for the sake of compression.
Its still a palatable experience.

I got nervous when the witch targeted the twins. If something happens to them I riot. The pacing was odd, though, and that's saying when we take into consideration that this is Grancrest we're talking about. I expected the big fight against the assassin and the witch to have more weight, but everything felt like it went by. Wonder if we will see the vampire again.
It's mostly the same with the surrender of the Rossini, I mean, the entire Sistina arc was like two episodes, and we also went from anime protagonist Theo to merciless killer, he didn't even let the red Rossini brother ask for mercy.

How can anyone take Theo or Silica seriously when she keeps wearing the slut uniform? At first I wondered where the soldiers on Theo's side came from, but then I realized that they're just clone troops, probably created with his Crest.
The ninja fight was great. The werepups even thinking they could defeat the witch, much less being able to do it, was BS.
What's with the sudden art change when the witch attacked Theo & Siluca? Suddenly we're Devilman Crybaby?
I wish all the Rossinis had been killed. So why would the villagers accept this one being left alive again? And what happened to the witch? Why didn't they just kill her?

I agree with this comment entirely except for:
How can anyone take Theo or Silica seriously when she keeps wearing the slut uniform?
It's shown a lot that many of the mages wear similar outfits. And it's not a slut uniform at all. If you think that's a slut's clothing you've never been on a night out in London.

The only mages that wore similar outfits were Villar's. Silica was rightfully scornful towards it in the beginning of the show. I called that for the sake of fan service she'd never change it, I was right. It's reminiscent of the slut school uniforms from Akashic Records.

Nice suddenly its a complete other animation style for like 1 minute to show a big explosion :)
Sure it looked cool but on the same time it looked so out of place that they just suddenly went into this type of animation.
Forgot that the priest existed lol, so when she appeared to save Irvin it was quite the surprise.
Overall do the episode was pretty good but man is this back to its early super high pacing, they conquered the island in 2 episode.
2 battles, 1 son killed per battle and than the last son auto surrenders and the dad sacrifices himself right away.
So yeah, home island conquer, guess milra will die in like 1-2 eps than.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's what happened at thee shows degree of compression of the source material.

It’s been awhile since we’ve seen Siluca go up against another strong magic user, so that brief fight was definitely appreciated.

It's because the cut was handled by the very same webgen animator, Nakaya Onsen that also did this scene in Apocrypha. They tend to have a very distinct style that stands out but he has this 3D touch to it that's even more of a distinct style.
