2nd episode was great imo.
not too much content skip while also has plenty of Celia screen.also when Celia call "Rio..." to ask him the trouble he facing was so nice to hear.
it ring really well.
after 5 year time skip.
-
The second episode went farther than I expected, but honestly, it cut out only a little bit of the terrible attitudes towards Rio. And the discussion that led to Rio being sent to the school. The bringing up Miharu again the way they did was really well done.
-
@grobinson2k1 I would have preferred they kept the fight with Charles short and included Roanna's lecture, but it was still a very good episode.
-
@salientmind To be fair....
-
@albertrojas yeah, but if we are thinking long term.
-
@salientmind True, but
-
@albertrojas That is true, and they can even retroactively include it.
-
I have to say, I am enjoying the anime
the time-skip was a little jarring, but other than that seems to moving at a reasonable pace- and as a stand alone (if I hadn't already read the LN), I imagine would still be entertaining. At present there isn't a lot of 'meat on the bones' of the story that isn't typical academy anime cliché, but it is only episode 2it 'clears my bar' with room to spare
-
I already expected the anime to have sub-par battle animations, but it still feels pretty bad.
Oh well.
At least they're doing the story justice, which is Seigensou's main selling point.

Not of nobility, but more noble than them all combined.

Still unfortunate that the best part is the omake 4koma at the end of each episode :P
-
The artwork did get extremely sloppy in some parts, very rushed jobs on the faces.
The fight scenes, can only be described as "I've seen worse", but we all know we watched this episode for 2 reasons. Celia's heartbreak scene and the introduction of Latifa. That's why she's my waifu! Bring on the Silver Bride arc -
@albertrojas The minotaur was much taller than I imagined. If that is what she envisioned when writing the novels, it makes the later minotaur fights much more badass.

It’s about the height I imagined…. Then again I went from manga to LN to anime…
I dunno, it feels like a lot of the excellent story novels of late are getting short changed in anime production, it all started (in my eyes anyways) with Arifureta…. Time skip, trimming nuances of the story, etc.
Disclaimer, I prefer faithful by the book adaptions, not freewheeling and dropping of what I view of important points. I mean what happened to the “lady companion” of the idiots that captured Flora initially… the one that tells Rio to marry her or something before she’s killed? Completely eliminated at this point. It feels strange as, at least to me, she’s a stand in representative for his mother and seeing her murdered like she had been… (or is that just me.?)

@thomask If i've heard correctly the initial studio dropped the ball on Arifureta and a second studio had to finish it. Despite that it sounds like a second season for Arifureta is happening. I hope they don't mess it up more, because I like the cheesiness of that chunni world.
-
Yeah the battle is kinda bad.
jump parrying is just bad. also the standing parry is simply lazy.
Cristina face in some scene also get funny.Minotaur height are quite the same as what I imagined from the LN.
there is part where it seems bigger because flora point of view but I think its quite accurate.most importantly tho Celia heart breaking scene is animated nicely.
-
@thomask Yeah, I like faithful adaptations, and I like loose adaptations/retellings... but not so much the poorly abridged/condensed stuff we get in most anime adaptations... or were getting before I more or less stopped watching anime.
That said, adapting out characters so they don't need character designs and actors is definitely a valid tool... if only the money saved could have been used on the animation budget (if nothing else to improve their pay >.>). I mean, if the point of anime isn't the animation, what is it? (Moichendising!)
Infodumps are of course another thing that need to be condensed or adapted into a different form, like original scenes acting out the history or demonstrating the scientific principle, etc. ...something more entertaining and appropriate to the medium than a glorified powerpoint presentation or so help me a bunch of talking heads standing about in a room.... but I guess that edges far too close to making the anime an original work instead of an abridged version of the first few books produced to bring in new readers >.>

For some reason I remembered the World Trigger info dumps at the end of each episode…

Speaking of animation, I thought that Celia's magic demonstration was simple, but beautiful.

Yeah that magic demo scene in the classroom was pretty cool. However it is not really jiving with my pre-conceived notion on how the magic worked in this story. I was expecting incantations and magic runes to pop up for everything.
