Her hair was flowing even though they were in a windless indoor room——

And whenever her hair swayed, it would reflect light like a prism, almost resembling a rainbow.

Personally I neither got an Angel nor a ''Like death itself impression when she decended from her - no idea why Sora was sweating so much.
Essentially she gave off an aura of deadliness and power; something that can be hard to always bring across visually. Perhaps they should have omitted more of the ED for her intro to give them a bit more time to play with special effects to highlight the impression of terror she was radiating.

Because the plotline of novel advanced quicker than anime, so it would be more probable to be see in the series' original medium than in anime.

Giant ass white wings, a great body, and a bright light shrouding her figure doesn't say "Angel" to you?

Considering most people here are genre-savvy, it's pretty much impossible to portray Jibril as intimidating based on appearances alone.

She's an attractive girl in both the LN illustrations and the anime, so no amount of lighting will change that.

Speaking of her, did anyone else notice that while she was shrouded in light and had white wings, her wings also drew a large shadow in the background, which looked like a pair of black wings?

Since they decided to cut out more stuff from the LN due to time constraints, I started paying more attention to the graphics.
Madhouse earned themselves some bonus points.

Yeah, the idea of "Death Incarnate" I can see not getting (and really, unless she looked like some sort of Lich or Wraith, it'd be basically impossible to pull off, which would then go counter to her Angel-like race), but not getting "Angel" from her? Unless all you do is play games like Agarest War that have a bunch of winged girls like this, I don't see how that isn't your first reaction.

That was a great moment. I'm really loving this show.

So are you saying that an anime girl can't be both attractive AND intimidating? Come on...

I actually even played agarest. It might have been the wing ears ans the location of her wings though.

She was fairly imposing up untill she spoke (although not quite as much as in the novel since they weren't quite able to pull off the plain awe and terror she inspired)., but that was the joke. Hope they don't cut too much of the conversation.

Actually she has pretty death like fish eyes, instead of the gentle eyes of a angel. And Pre conceptions are probably 80% of it.

If you were walking into a place you knew was a realm of a god killers, and known for slaughtering millions of lives...well everything going on in your mind is "Shittttt I'm going to die" can distort images.

Sure the rational part says no one can kill each other, but you are meeting a weapon of mass destruction.

I pretty sure she was letting out a airing pressuring killing intent. If you watched/read enough manga and anime, you should get the idea what it means by killing intent. That pressure is what had them shaking. She was made for war, so its not that hard to believe. Well thats the way I perceived it in the light novel. Wasn't really her looks, but her aura. Or suppose to be? O_o

Based on appearances alone? Not really.

For example, seeing one image of the infamous Yuno Gasai face isn't going to tell me much, other than she's pretty and probably crazy. Will that scare me? Not really.


Showing what a character can do is a better indicator of how scary they are than how freaky they look.

And if a girl has to look pretty, that limits the amount of grotesque features they can put onto her before she is no longer attractive.

Well what about someone like Roberta or Revy from Black Lagoon? Attractive and intimidating, both in equally giant amounts.

If Steph was more clever, she'd challenge them to a game of tag. Sora and Shiro would probably get tired in less than 5 mins

Of course that'd also be admitting that she was dumber than them and that she can only win through physical means.


But you just know Sora will find some way to bend the rules. Like hire a carriage or something to chase Steph down.

If steph was smart she would have instead try a endurance game, but then steph isn't quite the type to attack people's weaknesses. After all there are already massive weaknesses given to steph on [ ].

Well Sora already said that the only way to win is to know your opponents weakness and to use them to your advantage, it's why he hasn't started attacking the other races yet.

Nothing wrong with that, going after a weakness is fundamental to winning. Also if she states the rules in the beginning it'll be easy to prevent that type of "cheating", as what she fails to do at every single one of her failed attempts. And Sora even exclaims how she never places rules in her challenges.

Beating Sora and Shiro is easy, if you think about it.

When they say 'Sure, pick the game', you specify a game where they are far apart. They go catatonic. You win.
