Guin Saga

[Kraco]

No doubt about it now, evil prince is so much better to watch. I actually smiled every time he opened his mouth, which now makes Rinda sound like an idealistic little girl.

Damn right! He surely turned positively evil. Quite a flip, but considering the kind of stress they have been under and his delirious moment during the last episode, it's not actually even that unrealistic. As long as he doesn't gain any strange powers - unless they come from an external source.

I was cheering for Naris to pull the trigger, too bad it ended all lovey dovey. Though the means was different, it was still an utter victory to him, so I can only guess he's aiming for something bigger than can be accomplished by killing a mere princess.

Nah, it was already shown after their initial meeting that he immediately planned some use for the girl. Making her disappear wouldn't have achieved anything, really. Moreover, it might have cost him his own life or the relative freedom at the very least. This way, however, he gained the clear upper hand in the relationship between those two. Who knows what his plans are otherwise, but now he has nice chances of driving them forward.

So what subbers are you archiving and what subbers are you watching for the speed?

Aniyoshi for archiving (assuming they still continue), and frong for timely watching. Frong's subs are hardly archive material, with the stupid translator comments (I'm sure he considers them jokes himself) and everything.

Normal grunts surely don't offer any challenge to Istavan, even if it takes Guin to deal with the enemy bosses. Btw, I wonder just how long it will take until the dude runs out of gods in whose name to swear... He has gone through quite a list already.

It was good to see he wasted no time when the opportunity offered itself and Rinda was unconscious...

[Buffalobiian]

I was thinking alongside [frong] this whole episode

"Was mouth to mouth necessary?" -> nothing less from our resourceful Istavan.

I don't remember his sword being so ornate before this episode though.

I've noticed it a few times before, but Naris is calling people his "Princess of Light" as well. Either that traveling fortune teller's been across the entire continent predicting lives like crazy, or it's just another fancy term for "my girl".

I was hoping it was a more prophetic term.

Rather than wondering about whether Istavan will run out of gods to swear with, will they ever explain all those supernatural beings that reveal themselves to Guin at the most convenient of times? That Akura batton saved his life last time, and a spirit boat came out of nowhere again.

Remus wins again.

[Yukimura]

Oh Dark Remus, how much higher can you climb before your inevitable fall back to being a lame lightsider.... I'm hoping they somehow get into a situation where Dark Remus ends up backhanding Rinda just so I can savor Dark Remus trashing the image of his weaker self even more.

It was nice to see Astriasstalker-kun being his old obsessed self once again and his new companion seems like he'll help egg Astrias on in his quest for more lulz. But on the subject of Amnelis....lol. I like how she has clearly never been in a relationship, nor doesn't seem to understand much about the power dynamics. It's so cute watching her trying to act tough and in control, completely oblivious to how it just makes her look more weak and insecure.

[Kraco]

What exactly does Naris have in mind for Astrias? That sorcerer should be working for Naris, although it's not yet certain Naris knows stalker-kun entered the town. But once he learns, it's guaranteed he will use the stupid, obsessed fellow for something clandestine that won't end well for anybody but Naris himself.

Episode 15 - Frong

Istavan certainly wasted no time and made as much progress as possible with Rinda while Guin was away. It's hard to shine while the badass Leopard man is around, so it's totally understandable. Still, it surprised me slightly. He didn't look like a man to make such vows. I hope he can keep it, considering his past acts of trying to save his own skin first and foremost. But then again, maybe he genuinely wants to change that. Maybe he even genuinely already loves Rinda, which would certainly make him honest.

Remus keeps getting better and better. It's amazing how a character I wanted to die in every episode in the beginning now is suddenly so promising and I want to know just what he's plotting behind those malicious eyes. From how he looks at Rinda, even she won't be safe when he finally gets a chance to advance his clandestine plans. I hope. He might try to get rid of Istavan at some point, because unlike Guin, who has his own past to unravel and who oft looks at bigger things, the former mercenary might from now on stick so close to Rinda that Remus might be unable to put her under his control.

[Oniken]

I have a feeling Naris still isn't in love with Amnelis, even after he told that guy he is. There's just some kind of scheme going on, I think, which will probably end up with Amnelis being hurt. Can't help but feel sorry for Amnelis if that is the case but atleast stalker dude will pick her up off her feet

This is only scheduled for 26 episodes at the moment, I really hope they continue with more :/

[Kraco]

I doubt Naris can love anyone but himself. I expected him to talk to the old man that way because he knew they were being listened to by spies or because he needs some sort of a (genuine looking) reaction from the man or other Parro citizens, for whatever plan of his to work. It could simply be to buy Amnelis's trust when the fooled princess begins to notice Parro natives might not anymore like Naris as much. I can't yet see Naris considering "ruling" Mongaul occupied Parro happily as a prince consort.

[Buffalobiian]

Naris is certainly planning something. Something he dares not put into words, even to his most trusted ones.

I loved the reaction everyone gives Remus when he speaks, and the pauses too. It's a funny mix of "Are you alright?" and "wtf?" Some light into what Remus is plotting would be good though, since right now he's all bark but no bite. Not that you can do all that much on a deserted island however.

Mage punching made me lol.

[shinta|hikari]

Everything Naris says is so fake, I am very surprised anyone in the show believes him. He should pull it of like Schneizel, who everyone knew was going to turn evil in the end but doubted it every step of the way.

-----------------------------------------

Damn straight it was strange for Guin and Remus to walk together. Recalling Guin's surprised/astonished face from the previous episode, it feels as if he's suddenly discovered that the twin with a ruler's material is actually Remus and not Rinda. That's been prophesied before, but I guess he couldn't do much while Remus was a wuss until recently. And now he's teaching him to read people's character and all.

If it's Istovan+Rinda vs Guin+Remus, there's no doubt who'd win.

I actually expected Rinda to harbour more romantic feelings towards Guin, considering how he just "died" and came back. Seems like she's totally accepted Istovan for now though.

Watching Miail go to his room and cry over a forced marriage was funny. She He should be a girl.

edit: whoops. Freudian slip

[Kraco]

I wouldn't yet count on Guin fighting for either of the two against the other. He's a knight of both of them, after all. While Guin has so far been fighting against Mongauls and others for the benefit of various peoples, it's not like it was anything personal for him. If Remus indeed could really help him sort out his own identity, he could choose Remus, but that's far from certain at this point. Even with an evil attitude and boldness, Remus is still in no position to help someone like Guin.

What comes to Istavan and Rinda, I'm sort of sorry Istavan hasn't turned out more than this so far. When he decided to become Rinda's knight, he seemed to become even less.

Freudian Guin:

Episode 17 - frong

[November 11]

Those teleporting mages are giving Aldo Naris a serious advantage against any enemy. Mongoul army does not seem to have any wizardry expertise at all.

[Kraco]

Yeah. However, I'm not really surprised Parro does have such an advantage. I've been getting the kind of an impression during the show Parro is no backwater town in general but one of the bigger nations, even if it is a city nation. However, they didn't seem to have much in the way of pure military strength so it's obvious they have something else to even the odds. It seems to be a coven of nefarious mages and ancient machinery.
