I think the mercenary is my favourite character so far. Guin is awesome, but in a beyond-human way. He's a Hero of Legend, whereas the mercenary is more human and easier to identify with, but still awesome too! This story is pretty epic. I'm looking forward to the giant battle!
I'm glad Guin got some clothes finally heh. He does look pretty cool with his Master Sword and Epona now.
Epona???????
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
The sword Guin got looked like the Master Sword from the Legend of Zelda. The hero, Link, travels the world trying to complete whatever objective he has and always picks up the Master Sword and gains the ability to ride a horse called Epona.Originally Posted by Buffalobiian
Epona was some ancient goddess (in this real world of ours). Not sure what Oniken thinks it has got to do with Guin.
Nevertheless I'm also happy Guin got some clothes finally. Of course he still looks like a son of a demon, but at least a civilized one now...
Aye. Of all colours, he's wearing black. I would have said it was to avoid a clash with all those <coloured> Legions, but then I remembered the Black Mongols who assaulted the palace.
I like the mercenary too. He's actually a bit ahead of Guin in my eyes because he's got my sympathy vote, as well as a sense of humour. I tend to root for side characters and underdogs, especially ones who lose out in the romance department.

Guin has an animal's head. I think he is severely losing out on the romance department. All he gets is admiration.
Peace.
This definitely has a fantasy feel to it. Which makes it fun to watch, though I think the story is progressing quite fast. I do like the mercenary a lot, and it just seems as though he's going to get his way and become prince/king somehow.
Doesn't look like Linda would be too thrilled to personally make him a king...
Still, dealing with the mercenary is excellent training for those two, should they ever make it back to their former status.
The last word is Guin's:
Episode 7 - AniYoshi

Edit: Damn, this episode was a distillation of badassery. Quite excellent tactics and surely they took everything out of their knowledge of the surroundings plus some psychological warfare. Guin and Astreas's "fight" was hilarious. It also tells something about Mercenary's level, because he had to fight seriously against Astreas whereas for Guin it wasn't a fight at all.
This series just keeps getting better and better.

"Rinda, Vavan!!" -->ROFL!!
-No joke, and here I thought Istavan was actually quite skilled too. He still is, but doesn't compare against Guin. I still like him though, so he'd better redeem himself soon.
-Loved the signature heart thump. Too bad that guy's an old beast in his own right, something to do with his lineage if I remember correctly.

Don't scenes like that traditionally mean some indication of a pairing? Normally when a guy happens to see a girl naked or vice versa it's usually the ones meant to be together. Maybe this story is just messing around, remembering Istavan's joke from the previous ep, but who knows..."Rinda, Vavan!!" -->
The fight sequences in this is just spanktastic!

SourceKaoru Kurimoto, esteemed authoress of the long running and highly popular fantasy novel series (and lately anime) Guin Saga, has passed away at the age of 56.
Her death is apparently the result of a long battle with cancer of the pancreas, so it is not entirely unexpected.
Her passing cuts short a long and illustrious writing career which has seen over a hundred novels published, many of which have been translated into English, and much critical acclaim.
56 is too young an age to perish. Well, at least she probably had a chance to see the beginning of Guin animated. Let's hope she liked it as much as we do.
R.I.P

Wow, GARtastic episode on multiple levels. Guin demolishing Astreas without batting an eyelash was indeed hilarious but I felt the way he also manhandled even the old man was even sweeter. After seeing that I don't want to count out Istvan as a fighter just yet. Comparing anyone else to Guin seems like comparing DBZ era anyone else (good) to Goku right about now. Maybe Istvan is no slouch but Guin is just such a powerhouse that he embarrass anyone he fights regardless of how good the are compared to a nameless grunt.
The old man wasn't manhandled. Guin was just a bit better, and that is usually enough to allow you to land a punch (not a sword attack, since that would be slower and visible). It's just that Guin's punch (palm thrust) has abnormal power that even the brutishly powerful old soldier was surprised.
Peace.
When it comes to fights technique and style only matter to me for the winner, for the loser the result is all that counts. The old guy entered combat of his own volition and got disabled and disarmed without laying a scratch on Guin. In my book when you get disabled and disarmed and your opponent then lobs your weapon at the head of the person you are supposed to be protecting with your life and you couldn't even wound or wind him that qualifies as getting manhandled.
You can call it whatever you want but at the end of the day I don't see how anyone could make the argument that the old guy didn't utterly fail in his engagement with Guin. It certainly wasn't for lack of trying but the results of his defeat seem to speak for themselves.
