It is an understandable mistake to make . But seriously have thought of Arthur and Arawn as being the male leads of this show. Just at the moment one happens to have a harem and the other one doesn't. Do think it'd be fine to spread the girls around a little. Just seems like a waste otherwise.

Don't think Arthur not being focused on that thing is a good enough reason to be left out. Any girl that shows up is pretty much immediately tossed into Arawn's harem. There's no point in getting interested after that since trying to take a girl from another guy's harem could lead to disaster .

Right now things are more focused on the harem than the military situation. Hopefully we get more into that than just adding more girls into it. Though Octavia is a really nice character so not complaining about her.

There is 1 thing in common in harem animes. The main char gets ALL girls. The others zero.

So Arwan gets another one without even trying. Im sure men in real life would love to have this kind of luck lol.

I would say my favorite part about the previous episode had to be the battle in the forest. It show how tactics, faith in ones comrades and tactics can win over a larger force. The enemy commander was a moron drunk on his own glory and his troops paid the price.

He marched his entire unit into a densely packed forest with no recon nor support. That place was begging for a ambush and he got it. The size of the forest made it so during a surprise attack there was no way to get his troops back into lines which their tactics suggest they do no organization and panicking they were easy pickings for Awan and his rag tag group of warriors.

If it was not for Octavia and her cool head and quick observation that they were at the disadvantage they all would have been slaughtered. Their commander was coward and his troops died because of it. Now things didnt happen exactly as i had thought but close. The worst thing that could have happen to the enemy is after the trees fell and they pulled back Arwan and Arthur ordered the bridge destroyed cutting off their escape and any future moments in the valley. But instead the idiot cut the ropes killing his own troops and not a single one of Arwan's troops died good job douche bag.

For some reason i would like to see Octavia and Arthur meet up. For some reason this two who are focused on duty and protection seem like some real sparks would fly. Im not sure romantically but just how both their minds work they would be interesting to watch as they interact. For some reason i can see Octavia getting captured eventually by Arwan and the gang. I have not played the game nor will i read any spoilers relating to it since this is the anime but i like really the thought the anime working some type of Octavia x Arthur moments.

good episode hopefully more military battles will follow once the harem crap dies down.

Personally that is the reason why I am beginning to dislike his character especially since he is getting a harem for doing...nothing...well at least Hakuoro did do something so the sense of reward (or at least justification) to have his own harem is present. I'm still sitting here scratching my head over what Arwan had actually done at present for so many to fall for him and the obvious neglect towards others, like Arthur is simply unfair. Simply put, he hasn't proven himself yet to deserve any of this special attention and damn it is going to be doom for me to watch lovely Octavia going over to the dark side ;_;

And second with more battles...although this one wasn't anything to be jumping about either...

Unlike Hakuoro, Arawn has a past history that's well known though.
He won the admiration and utmost loyalty of fairy folks, from a thousand years ago.

He's not some random dude, he's the friggin dark king, and a hero of the legends.
You say he's done nothing, but that's not true. You're just unaware of what he HAS done, since it hasn't been revealed yet.

Him not doing anything doesnt really bother me that much probably because i am not paying much attention to the harem aspect of the show. My favorite character right now happens to be Arthur so im focusing on him most of the time. Which is why i liked the idea of him interacting with Octavia they seem to be two sides of the same coin in my eyes.

No doubt about legends of old here but are they any where near as epic as the stuff in Shina Dark?

also for the record Satan>Arawn

What you say is likely true, aohige. However, it has no bearing on why and how his 3 wives (at this point) became his wives.

As a representative of the water elves (water fairies? selkies?), Llyr most likely has a good knowledge of what Arawn did in the past. But that's not why she became his wife. She's his wife because of happenstance. If Arthur or Ogam or Gael Warrior #3 had burnt the seal skin, she would be his wife because that's how the laws of the selkie work. Her "marriage" to Arawn had nothing to do with his being the dark lord.

Morgan became Arawn's wife because he claimed her in order to prevent a needless self-sacrifice. Of Arawn's wives, Morgan probably knows the least about his history even now. His status as the dark lord probably didn't factor into her agreeing to the arrangement at all.

Riannon's decision to pick Arawn as her husband seemed more a result of the connection they made while he was waking her than any desire on her part to link up with the hero of legends. In fact, as a human, she probably doesn't think of him as the hero of the legends. Arthur certainly doesn't.

I'm sure Arawn has an impressive history. One that validates his status as a legend come to life. But his past is not the reason he has a harem now. Why does Arawn have a harem now? Except for Morgan, whom he saved from self-sacrifice, it's not because of anything Arawn's done. It's just been the circumstances. I agree with Deathkillz except for the fact that I'm not bothered by the happenstance gathering of the harem. I find it hilarious.

This. Together with Arawn's hilarious facial expressions, and we have a winner.

But disliking him because of his current harem that he seems to not be doing much in regards to obtaining? That's a bit harsh don't you think? & since when do male leads need to do anything to obtain a harem? I thought that was the whole point.

Haha. So true. A harem by definition is wish fulfillment. 'Earning' one isn't going to stop that from being the case.

But the connection he made when waking her saved her just as much as he saved Morgan in a way, the only lol one so far is Llyr.

Arthur is hardworking, no girls for him

Arawn is hardly working, girls just rushed in w/o a reason

*Claps claps*
When I say you literally took everything from my mouth, I really mean it (well...except for the last part ).

I'm not denying that Arawn is some reincarnation (reawakening) of the ancient demon lord who blah blah blah...something so many thousand years ago. I'm more concerned about what he has done at present time since the youngn's know jack shit about his heroic deeds set in the forgotten times. One of the reason why I don't think he should get recognition for just fame that is basically...history.

Simply put he hasn't shown and of his ZOMG DEMON POWASSSS demolishing an entire army or two so why have girls fall for him now and not later?

Depends on the genre imo. I wouldn't dare questioning something so logical if it was a comedy romance series like hmm...Hatsukoi Limited...that would be suicide. But for a series like this I do expect the harem for him to have a valid enough reason not just some stupid happening or misunderstanding and for the harem to grow to an even larger size based on not doing anything?

It's still early () but so far his impression on me isn't at all that good.

edit: and seen as I've read Shina Dark's name pop up here I just want to say: "now THAT is how a demon lord should be like"

I see.....
So support for the Arthur x Octavia fanbase has grown. I am quite please.
I hope for more support from the fans for this pairing.

Arthur deserves a girl(Octavia), and we all know it and want it.
Arawn doesn't deserves one, he has too many.

That's not a harem show though, it's a school romance. I'm talking about an actually romance --- where a male lead is surrounded by beautiful girls who love him. A good example is Ichigo 100%, or even the Fate/stay night anime adaptation.
