A very interesting episode that highlights the Imperials. Lots of Selvaria material.
Spoiler for Episode 9:
- Interesting look they gave to Johann. Looks a bit like Welkin or Suzaku. I think they changed the continuity slightly, though, in that Johann showed up AFTER Ghirlandaio was taken.
- Not something I expected, but Jaeger got plenty of spotlight too. I loved when he forced Johann off the road in a "Duke Boys" fashion.
- So the Emperor is something like Caesar? Interesting. Seems also that Maximilian isn't one of his favored sons.
- Whenever I see fat swill-drinking politicians in anime, it makes me feel sick. I dunno why... they just make me ill.
- Of course, the highlight of this episode is Selvaria. Our silver-haired Azure Witch gets to kick some serious ass in this episode while showing a real interesting side to her. And seeing a bruised, teenage version of her? God, that was something.
- Wow, this episode must've had some inspiration from Assassin's Creed. Those guys in the cloaks were pretty sweet. And yet Selvaria kicked their ass like they were nothing! Shows just how wicked sick she is.
- Well, looks like Max can handle himself after all. Definitely an improvement from his game counterpart.
- You know, something tells me that Max's bro sent those assassins. Dunno why, but that's the impression I'm getting.
Again, a great installment, but I'd need to see some subs later. They always enhance the experience.
