Last episode was a bit disappointing considering its material, but this episode made up for it. Now that those two goons are gone, Ferris’ attempts to get Ryner out of his Alpha-Stigma mode were the best part of this series since episode three. It was very artistic, intense and furthered the relationship between the two of them.
I think my problem with this series is that I’m currently watching it, just for Ryner, Ferris and Shion. At this point, I can’t really find myself to care about the rest of the cast. It’s up to the rest of the series to make these guys interesting, because the series moves away from Ryner and Ferris too often for them to be able to save the series. Right now this show is really busy fleshing out its setting with all of the political intrigue, but at this point there are too many shallow characters.
I blame not the lack of development or background, but the lack of fleshing these guys out. Ferris and Ryner are great to watch because we see so many different sides of them in different situations. Most of the people on Shion’s court get too little airtime to show their characters off. Everything is always serious business, and this episode was probably the first that attempted to show a different side of Claugh now that he’s in love with that Blue haired girl. Having this cast come to live is going to be this series’ biggest challenge for me.
Rating: * (Good)
nice ! 🙂
i have a lot of hopes for the next episode 🙂
I agree with you, Psgels. I am only watching this show for Ryner, Ferris and Shion. At this point, the other characters are anything from boring and shallow to just plain annoying.
Episode 3 and 4 was the best two episodes for me so far.
actuality, in the novel. the side character actually have their own story which is connected to main character and the event around. their story actually pretty huge compare other anime side character
I do like some of the side characters, like Eris, Claugh or his new girlfriend Noah En,or Miran Froide which isn’t evil just to be evil, he’s not cliched, his actions makes sense.
The only ones I can’t stand are the girl following Ryner and her morons subordinates.
@rrw:yeah, I guess it’s yet another proof that most original materials have more info,more development.
Bit late on the party, but seeing as I’m still trying to catch up to this series, at this point, Miran seems far more interesting than the trio. Not in his personality, but in his actions – his personality is not much revealed through flashbacks, but to craft a character like that shaped only by assumptions and actions is pure brilliance.
