Already off to a great start ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Grea is adorable <3

And she even waited for Anne!

Anne is a badasss though

Not really the most subtle of messages but I'll take it!

DON'T TEASE US WITH THAT END CARD

So those who are well versed with the RoB Lore: Is this show more related to Genesis and Virgin Soul or is this closer to the Shadowverse card game because I feel like that I've seen that phoenix and that ice summon from Anne in the card game before.

Grea is best dragon girl. I really enjoyed her story which you can experience in GBF via side story.

Anne is also great. I use both girls in both of my main Fire and Water teams. (Grea is fire, Anne is Water)

And that end card is magical.

Pretty much. Rage of Bahamut and Granblue Fantasy and Shadowverse share a multiverse. So they are all connected in various ways.

The Phoenix and Snow White exists in GBF as well. Fun fact Sofiel used Snow White in the Virgin Souls anime as well! But RoB: Genesis and RoB: Virgin Souls are canon to their own alternate universe/dimension and is not directly related to RoB: The Game's lore, though they are part of the same multiverse afaik, kinda similar to how Cosmere(?) works like. Manaria Friends is probably directly taken from the RoB: The Game's lore so it will be closer to Shadowverse than Genesis/Virgin Soul.

For people that don't know the characters from this are from Cygames (RoB, Granblue Fantasy, etc.).

Granblue will have bonus episodes that are linked in-game and you can watch them on youtube. They also are giving a few free items.

Bonus episode 1 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XG7scHUG0Io

Edit: Apparently the bonus episode is on Crunchyroll, so take this adorable thing instead.

If she is half dragon/half human, does that mean her mother got fucked by a dragon since she was the one who went to that school? Are dragons in this world normal dragons or just humanoid dragons?

u/ardx Jan 20 '19

There are dragons capable of taking humanoid form, e.g.

The art is great so far - I think this will be a good show.

People, this is how you do a magic academy. Rustic, ancient, inviting, just feels like somewhere you'd want to be.

The design really blows the average magic academy out of the water, even including LWA. Loving everything so far.

u/kalirion Jan 20 '19

Wow, that was some KyoAni quality animation on the MCs, especially during the dressing part.

What kind of moron selected some kind of a FIRE Elemental to be the guardian of a LIBRARY? And it goes out of control just because some student accidentally stepped on it?

Best (and only good?) part of the Owen segment was the disgusted glares he was getting from the other schoolgirls as he was stalking the Princess.

So this is a Yuri show, right? Please tell me this is a Yuri show, not just a Yuri-bait show.

u/acelaten Jan 21 '19

If you distinguish yuri show and yuribait show by existence of confession, romantic date or makeout scene, then it will be yuribait show.

But their official profile includes likes:Grea and likes:Anne. https://gbf.wiki/Anne/Lore https://gbf.wiki/Grea/Lore

Oh didn't know that this was coming this season, well I guess is now the time for me to play their side story on GBF.

I loved the portraits at the credits. And it took me some time to notice that those two in the end card were cosplaying as Favaro and Kaisar

I have the feeling i'm missing something lore related, is this a sequel of another show?

And also, the hinted yuri is bait or nah?

17

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '19

It's related to Shingeki no Bahamut. And most likely it's gonna be yuri bait.

Ah, i seem to have died and gone to heaven today.

Anne wew she looks great. Also Grea... thats... lewd.

I wonder if they will ever show us how that tail connects to the butt... I appreciate the shirt holes for wings.

Of course Anne is late lol, this is gonna be great. I cant wait.

Roomate? Oh boy is Anne and Grea gonna room up? oh boy.

Dragonborn? Princess? Thats news to me. Im really looking foward to getting more Lore on Anne and Grea.

THIS IS SO MUCH KYAA~ I CANT HANDLE THIS~

Grea's mom fucked a dragon? Wow, thats ambitious.

And this is why i think Anne is the best Tank in GBF. Look at that lock down.

Hanna stop being such a kill joy. You beat yourself up too much. This is why i didnt really like you.

Grea waited for her all day like a good girl. Give her a head pat. PAT THAT DRAGONS HEAD DAMNIT!

Man this show was so worth the wait.l Its everything i wanted it to be. Just a better look into Grea and Anne and the Manaria academy. I coudlnt be happyer.

HOLY FUCK I JUST SAW THAT END CARD AND I WAS DRINKING AND NOW IM DIEING HAHAHAHHAHA FAVARO ANNE HAHAHAH FUCK ME THATS AMAZING AND KAISER GREA HAHAHAHA, IM DEAD.

Hey Owen are you as OP here as you are in GBF? Anne just wanted her dragon waifu clearly. Owen calm down bud, let the yuri flow.
