Still, for all that, this was easily the best ep of the first three (despite Luke, far and away the most interesting character, being largely missing). Pretty interesting discourse on the nature of a soldier's existence.

Oh poor Cecily, she is getting trashed from all angles in here.
One has to wonder how often experienced knights battle with demons and the like in this anime's universe. If it's something that hasn't happened in a while or something that happens rarely, many young knights have likely zero experience against them. Cecily just happens to be one of them. She though she could handle a battle (any battle) but was proven wrong by her own fear and hesitation. Cecily now has to understand her own limits and try to learn from her past mistakes. This leaves a lot of room for character development, wich actually makes me like her character.... if only for the possibilties of personal growth said character can have.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has noticed this. One of these days, another game company has to come up with a response to these two. |

Another thing I'd like Cecily to acknowledge is that skill's born from training, not the weapon, too. She spends so much time fooling around with Luke and Lisa, and yet she still sucks so very, very much. |

I enjoyed Episode 2, the shattering of her armor made me wonder if the black material beneath it is part of the armor or seperate. the songs are starting to grow on me a bit. the ending is hilarious with poor Lily tripping over rocks, the first two makes sense, however the random rock in the cellar not so much.

Cecily certainly has a lot of room for character growth but that the entire premise of the show. I don't know if I can jump on her after 3 episodes when it clearly they're only now begin to flesh out her character and begin her growth. Once that happens I'll judge her on what she becomes. Hopefully her growth leads her to become a better person and not lead a life like Kenshin's where she becomes filled with regret about her past actions. He had to make choices while learning and so will she. Maybe she won't be cut to be a knight, who knows. I think what she lacks is experience all the training in the world isn't going to make up for that. She handled herself well enough with the sword until she saw the blood and couldn't finish him off.

and this doesn't look like its set in a japanish setting, so I don't think theres kendo or "having fun with swords" if you would say that in this anime they would prob laugh at you. the only reason I dislike her is because she Only became a knight because of her family haratege with no skills, a weak heart (freak out when kill someone). she's cute but i wish she was atleast trained some. because it doesn't seem like she was trained at all.

Episode 3 was good. I was surprised it took Aria so long to transform.. lol. Cecily sure does have a lot of growing to do. But I think we'll find out that Luke does as well, they are obviously opposites and will teach each other and all that.
Well, Lisa & Aria made this episode anyway.

Lol, Razor Wind.
This anime really is so troperiffic. I hope Cecily will hurry up and choose. Either she finds some guts or she decides she's not a fighter. Just choose, damn you.

Note, I don't deny that, despite their origins as practice for war and hunting, sports have another dimension. But it doesn't take away from the fact that, at the end of the day, a sword's made to kill people. Or as some kind of decoration or status symbol, but if that's what Cecily wants to use it for, isn't it even more pathetic? Quote:

I don't know that his weapon is more murderous than Cecily. In exchange for being heavy, the Zweihander is that it's good against armor. So he expects to fight other warriors with good equipment. OTOH, if I wanted to mug innocent people, I'd prefer Cecily's weapon. Lighter, more maneuverable... Of course, I wouldn't try it against armored soldiers. Quote:

Heck, even the monster at the beginning gave Luke enough time to forge his katana.

why do you all say he's mocking her sword? maybe he just likes using two handers? what is he mocking her because she's a woman?
and Aria seemed a bit sexist when talkin trash to him. so far I like him more than Cecily and Aria. he's a true knight.
