Oh boy, a portal to another dimension! Better stick my head in it.

I still can't decide if losing the Gate or Lelei is the dumbest plotpoint of the series.

Oh yes, given political asylum would definitely be a bridge too far. Not bombing the senate house, or beating the crap out of the crown prince. This would be the one thing to really set them off.

"they won't have any proof that we did it!" Seriously? You are a warmongering expanionist country. You should be the first to understand how worthless evidence is when it comes to realpolitics. I also love how they held that false flag brainstorming session in front of an open court.

Aegir doesn't seem terrible ambitious. He's mostly just going with the flow and gets promoted for service rendered That might funnily enough be his biggest strength. He doesn't actively scheme to take the throne and thus is not seen as a threat.

The pacing remains very bizarre. Big general guy gets killed off screen and now the war is pretty much over. I wonder if the novel goes into more detail.

That escalated quickly. Feels like some more setup was needed here.

...Oberstein?

"Did you tell anyone else?" "Obviously, I'm not a moron." "Alright then, enjoy your new position as Frontier Lord."

Hm, I still feel they set the fat noble up to be actually a pretty ok dude

The immediate mood whiplash that this manga is capable of producing is something else.

Wait, I thought the blood pact was some sort of absolute obedience thing not a "if you don't obey your dead" thing. Because the later obviously has some issues when dealing with someone who wants to die lol This one was a bit too clean for my liking. I don't mind Gareus getting redemption but...

drill twintails that are not blonde? I'm pretty sure that's illegal I'm really curious how the hell the humans managed to beat the demons. The story even acknowledges how powerful air superiority is.

Is it just me or does Garros' logic here make no sense? Just because the dungeon is impossible to conquer doesn't mean humans won't try to keep conquering it. Especially now that the guild has proof that there is a dangerous monster lurking in there. I thought the goal here is to stop humans...

Despite the very apparent shortcomings I still ended up reading it all. It's a stupid power fantasy, but I dunno it kinda has it's charms.

Does it make me a bad person that I know exactly which scene you are referring to? lol

The Novel certainly goes into more depth and also explains a few concepts a bit better. Some battles are indeed OVA original, particular in the first half of the first season The Novel are also a great bit more gruesome then any of it's adaptations, but that is to be expected. Point in case...

I still prefer Zephyr particles even though this translation is no doubt more accurate lol

Yeah, in general I feel this adaptation is having a tough time capturing the spirit of the novel, starting out with all the backstory was imho a mistake as sure it's nice to see Reinhard's and Yang's rise but there really isn't much beyond that. Personally I'm pretty sure I would have dropped...

The trip to Elfhelm was crazy. It doesn't feel that long now that it's all available but people waited over a decade for this. The boat part in particular was infamous and took forever due to various hiatus.
