Episode 20 - HS
- - - -- --
Now there was a girl who would be a good pair for Arslan. They even share some history. They are both nicely incompetent, so neither would feel inferior in the other's company. Too bad it's otherwise nigh impossible. Quite funny nonetheless that Arslan needed to chat with an enemy spy to build his determination and the spy was conversing all alone with the leader of the biggest enemy faction without a clue. As intelligent as he is, I doubt even Narsus knows how bad the situation is with their prince. At least I reckon Arslan managed to raise his worth in Gieve's eyes considerably by getting spotted leading a girl somewhere in the middle of the night.
lolol, I thought there'd really be a girl. Screw this show and its traps.

I think it really is a girl. It also explains why we see Etoile only wearing that tight helmet and never in any relaxed manner. I reckon she's one of those no male heirs (alive?) but the family honour requires a knight of renown, so she must hide her gender and fight as a man cases. However, I do wonder what's the point. Surely she can't become a wife for a king, yet she has no connection to anybody else but Arslan. So the character would make more sense as a man. A story shouldn't have useless extra details.
Hmm, you might be right. His monologue by the river suggested as much.

If Etoile turns out to be a trap I am dropping this show.
EDIT: As the monster of physics, I have to mention that Arslan and Etoile teleported onto the staircase when they were sneaking out the castle. Running out of the screen one second, already on the staircase the next.
EDIT2: Googled it and confirmed Etoile is a she. It's hilarious because I typed "Etoile Arslan" in the search bar, and guess what came out in the suggested searches?
"Etoile Arslan Girl"

Episode 25 Final - HS
- - - --- - - -
Thus the show ended right before the decisive battle. Though naturally it's better this way than introducing some botchered original ending in a couple of last eps. It was a decent enough show with some good fights and characters. Fortunately the shounen-ai vibes staid at low levels. There were few female characters in the cast, but on the other hand considering the time and place, there would have been few realistic roles available. I'm happy Etoile got a bigger role towards the end. She was pretty funny especially in this final episode, repeatedly telling Arslan how he's nothing like a future king. They would make a cute couple, though I don't really see how a king could marry a mere adopted knight wannabe from an enemy nation.
Silver Mask brushing aside his terrible defeat was comedic. The Lusitanian king is an idiot, whereas the brother seemed more intelligent, but he's certainly letting his greed and ambition cloud his eyes.
Just when we get to the (dere) good part!!!
The hawk grabbed onto Arslan's unprotected bicep near the end. I expected it to land on his armored forearm, but apparently his cloth cape and shirt can defend against talons...
Peace.
He's got invulnerability cheats like Farangis.

That scene with Farangis and the missing arrows was just retarded. It made it hard to take anything seriously anymore.
Peace.
Plot-wise it was weird. The same can be said about those dark sorcerers who were all so keen to kill Daryun up until now but didn't do it when he was bleeding and down.
Visually, you can't beat those CG archers though. Those were golden. The contrast between them and the close-ups of this show makes it hilarious.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
This show would have been better without the sorcerers and Farangis remaining just a priestess talking about djinn and other supernatural stuff, yet not ever really demonstrating any of it concretely. So, even if she predicted something, by claiming she heard it from the djinn, it could have been just a lucky or an educated guess.
It's getting a second series:

Moar gayness.
I just hope Etoile shows up more.
Peace.
It's hard to judge what Etoile's role could end up being. Clearly she has left the suicidal knight business behind. So, what exactly is she going to do? It would make sense she would be leading her countrymen back home once Arslan sees it safe for them to return. If that happened, we would never see her again. I still think it would be exceedingly strange for her to end up with Arslan due to the huge class difference, but if she doesn't, what possibly could she end up doing? Certainly she doesn't have the qualifications to become one of his trustees, who are somewhat excellent people so far, like masters of martial arts, infiltration, or strategy. Unless he decides to consult her to better understand the Lusitanian people and religion.
Not that Arslan would care about the class difference.
She will be the one to learn from some of Arslan's ideals and try to change her country from within. She'll come to admire Arslan for who he is.

And marry into the royal family for peace. Wasn't she of noble birth or something?
Peace.
Is the series censored in any way, particularly the violence? Been waiting for BD sourced releases, but no one seems interested in doing them.
I don't think so. It's pretty tame for a war story.
Peace.
