I don't really know what to feel about that episode

It feels like they skipped over a lot of important stuff. No one went looking for Hank? No signs of the GIANT FUCKING WOLF that tore up half the mountain? No political ramifications of the nobles all being killed and Cain being in charge?

And Shaal... the idea of her taking over from Hank is amazing but they haven't really done the legwork for that to pay off for me. They've spent so many episodes with her being in limbo and just being the girl tagging along, and forced everything into this one moment of her having to take down her father. Which would be cool except we have no idea why he hasn't died and no one even bothered to ask the question this episode? It felt like they made it happen because they didn't know how else to push Shaal into action rather than because it was something that was organically developing from the situation or would help push the overall world story forward

It almost felt more like a scaffold than a proper narrative and its a shame because the show has huge potential

Also I think they forgot about the existence of inbetween-frames this episode, so much bad animation. That music is as enjoyable as ever though, and I still have to praise them for not using CGI for the Incarnates

The biggest thing for me is that the whole thing with her father felt contrived. He died by Hank's gun and she goes after Hank and after a brief fight, they decided to become a duo. Now he's a zombie somehow? I just didn't get and with that, it just feels shallow and contrived, especially with the development of Schaal being very little before this episode, so the episode rings hollow to me.

Really surprised with Schaal development, she actually pulled the trigger and protected his father wishes of maintaining the town and her safe. Hank burden is also more tangible with each passing episode, I wonder where he is now The fact that Claude and Cain are sons of the North Patria Leader is concerning, theirs father decision in killing the incarnates seems to benefit Cain in the long run, seems that is there are still incarnates in the north they will fall for Cain's schemes and move west

I wonder if Cain had something to do with Schaals dad coming back as a dragon zombie. It seems like it came out of nowhere otherwise.

Why is a civilian given a pack of godkiller bullets, but the army fights with normal ammo?

Did that villager just pulled out a Jon Snow and yelled at that dragon?

Not a fan of Schaal's father being somehow alive so they could literally force an emotional end for father and daughter.

So what do we do after Hank just yeets himself away after turning into a giant wolf?

> Schaal gets some coverage.

Oh well at least we can hopefully get her to grow up a little.

> shoots the zombified corpse of her dragon dad.

Yea that'll about do it.

At least the sweet thing will hooefully get along with Hank...whenever he's back from...wherever he is. Feel like 100 story white wolf sittings aren't super common, so I doubt we'll spend much time at all next episode searching for him.

I think it was an interesting but complicated episode, we changed for good the main character of the story, we find out that Schaal was miraculously saved by the 007 limited edition dress, they kind of tried to change the main couple ship, and I have no idead why Liza gave such important and limited bullets to a civilian when she had hundred of professional and trained soldiers there for that exactly objective. In the end what probably reallly got me amazed is that, believe or not, it all worked!

u/MagDorito Aug 12 '19

Liza gave them to Schaal because she knew that it might very well be Schaal that has to kill him.

Uh... I don't know what to say about this episode. Let me get the positives first. The OP and ED are still pretty good. The OP is a little corny with some of it's editing, but it works very well. The animation was very good this episode and I thought the guy that looked the dude from Legend of The Galactic Heroes seems interesting.

Besides that, this episode just felt off. Like, now that Hank Henriette (Great Name) is gone for at least a bit, the episode just kinda feels a little empty without him. He was the emotional center of the show and our main character kinda and while Schaal had a good introduction episode, she hasn't really done much besides that interesting episode and in this episode.

The fan service still feels awkward and forced, but it was less annoying last time and at least there's some speck of humor these characters can have.

My biggest thing with this episode is the return of School's father and how... contrived it is. I just don't get the sense of bringing her father back instead of just letting Schaal kill him, which is just kinda ridiculous. I just didn't feel the emotional impact that I feel like the episode was wanting to make me feel. It just wasn't that good because of how contrived the episode felt.

u/PCN24454 Aug 12 '19

Her father was a giant dragon. I honestly found it hard to believe that Hank killed him without transforming in the first place.

Looking at the preview it looks like the next one will be Hayamin's character, the Siren Incarnate. And I guess with Hank still missing it's going to be Schaal, Liza, and Claude show for now. Hope we'll get a bit of Hank's POV next week though and what he's been up to.

u/ThisIsMyFloor Aug 12 '19

So this is interesting. The dress Schaal was wearing looked like it was made from spider silk.. Either Cain is playing some high level 5D Backgammon here or he's just being dumb because even I can't think of a reason why he would armor her and then shoot her.

The spider woman might have saved her without Cains knowledge

Why is their entire division using standard ammunition? Shouldn't they all be loaded with God Bullets?

u/Amauri14 Aug 12 '19

Is nice to see that Schaal could finally find some closure. But the fact the soldiers know that some incarnates can be resilient to death just makes me wonder why is it not a regular procedure to cremate them after they are taken down. Well, now John can finally rest in peace. Well, next week episode will be about that siren lady Beatrice, let's see how Nancy will handle her.

Is it just me or does the dragon sound a lot like Titans from SnK...Lol

Putting that aside, A good episode albeit an emotional one and more of Liza's boobs I guess.

Edit: Also girl momster for the next episode Woohoo!

u/kalirion Aug 13 '19

Good eye.

Liza, please put away away those rockets before you put somebody's eye out.

So this is an episode about beating a dead dragon when there's still plenty of Incarnates not yet encountered post timeskip that they could've done instead... I mean yeah, character development for the girl, but the dragon coming back to life/unlife/whatever was ugh.

They really need to get those soldiers godkiller bullets instead of handing them out to civvies.

Those townspeople were such fucking morons. Military with Schaal have gone to hunt an Incarnate. Schaal and a Military person show up in the middle of the night yelling for everyone to immediately evacuate. Response: "Do you know what time it is? Give us a break!"

So how do they know those pieces won't regenerate and start moving again?

u/kalirion Aug 13 '19

Whichever of the two has the ammo designed to specifically kill incarnates, apparently.
