>>16007Yeah, they're dropping the ball by having a bunch of unreasonable douchebags show up in order to demonstrate how right and competent the MC is.
Though I am impressed that they actually had the MC be someone that sleeps around, you don't often get that in anime.

>>16040Do you prefer Arslan CGI?
It is very annoying how everyone is either obnoxiously bad or obviously good.

>>16041Green's brother was stupid but the princess' guards were more interesting in their motivations, along with Ikta saying he would have joined them. Ikta is still a very flat protagonist though, and it doesn't help that Green and Matthew are equally flat.
No.16046
>>16045That is the thing. The guards were obviously not bad people. In fact the main character would have preferred to be with them.

>>16112The scene with the wolves was just absurd. If you're going to make a bunch of animals behave with absurd strength, intelligence, and planning, then they may as well be fantasy beasts rather than something inane like wolves.
No.16119
>>16118I wasn't really that annoyed by the behaviour of the wolves as much as the existence of the whole dramatic event. It unnecessarily, well, edgy. "Childhood flashback. Something dark and bloody happened that brought us together!" It could have been worse, everyone in the village getting killed or something, but it is plenty annoying as it is.

>>16119I was actually expecting the two people with them to be brutally murdered.
No.16148
>>16142I did too, but I guess for the author it was more important for the two of them to deal with this alone. Otherwise their relationship might not end up being based on working together, but having a trauma because their weak friends died.

The author deserves to be publicly executed. I have been expecting it for 2 or 3 episodes now and now that it finally happened the frustration is unbearable.
Strangely enough Solok is suddenly not bothered by following bad orders and massacring the other side. I still don't understand why he didn't try to use the princess as an informer so the higher ups would at least know what is going on.

>>17080The pairing works so well. I haven't seen this good chemistry between two characters in a while.

Excuse me for saying this, but this was one hell of a meme ending. This anime was literally Reddit.
No.17133
While the first half of the episode showed me what bullet points had been missed in the aforementioned checklist, I didn't expect the Princess' plan to be this. Practically the only positive surprise in the whole series, I guess. This season was basically an introduction. However, I doubt the author has enough talent to make the main part of the plot more interesting than this, so it will probably just fall flat. Still, I wouldn't be too unhappy if it gets a second season, after all, which is the best I can say for this anime.
Anyway, these two are fucking cute. I wouldn't say they have exceptionally good chemistry, but it's a strong relationship of equals. Which is more than one could want from most Japanese fiction, I guess.

So where's the part where Ikta gets executed following a war council investigation into his abuse of wartime negotiations?
>>17134Yatori doesn't want Ikta's dick that badly.
>>17128Go away.

>>17137"He just misunderstood me".
Also a war council investigation would shine light on the sacrilegious tactics of the hardworking whitey, so he wouldn't want it either.
Besides, what you're suggesting is more in the vein of modern-time ICC. It's such a new shmancyness that it didn't even exist before the current century. Ikta will get trialed only if the invading army wins and captures him.
