It's less about saving Ryner than preventing the hero from devouring him, I think. I really doubt he gives a damn about Ryner himself, but since he's going to invade Roland, it's better for him if Sion doesn't gain some extra powers.
And Ryner has been the main character from day 1. What did you expect?o_O |

I guess, in a way, I am fortunate for not reading the novel, since I don't know all the good stuff I am missing and am satified with what I am getting in the anime. On the other hand, they are leaving so much information out that it can get confusing, so it sucks not to read the novels.

Dunno guys, since the recap, this show has become "oh so much more" exciting.
My guess is that they overdid it with politics and shoujo for my tastes in the first two thirds ... and given the last episodes, it needs more Ryner/Ferris, and family; also Kiefer's come back was nice, but I rather see her with R+F, it would be extremely interesting. Claw and the damsel in distress were OK in their arc, but seem too redundant now, Milky has become less annoying, but still does not work out for me ... the worse is the gay-political couple ... it's so boring, they would be better of narrating the whole thing, it would be less annoying. Anyway, I hope for the final episodes, they focus on the triangle and their struggles, and tone down politics PS: I'm half-joking |

I'd love to see Daiden animated, but even I have pretty low hopes for that, with denyuuden being one of the most underrated shows in recent years.
It looks like they're adapting some of the Toriden stories into drama CD format, though. Two of them came with DVD/Blu-ray vol.1, and I think two more are going to be included in Ferris' character CD, coming out in a few days. lol I was reminded of that as well, even though denyuuden technically preceded it.

Is episode 23 still an adaptation of the light novel or an original one? because the whole time I got the impression that it's like I'm watching a different series all together. I was just brought back to the series at the near end when a sudden battle starts.
I didn't even saw a single gastalk at this episode.

So last episode didn't get elaborated on. And Sion's intentions seem mucher deeper than anything I could imagine right now. 3 more episodes to go, right? That'll be 3 episodes with lots of information to process I guess (hope).
Anyway, the normal life parts were nice. Actually, too harmonic. That pretty much gives the last scene a huge contrast, and how it transitioned over to the credits without any music at first. Epic impact. It's like in an RPG where your ally and close one turns out to be a final boss.

I don't want DaiDenYuuDen if the script was written poorly like this one. Just want to give two big, fat middle-fingers to Itsuro Kawasaki and Kiyoko Yoshimura. Stay away from Kuro Usagi ffs. Last edited by Kunagisa; 2010-12-09 at 19:51. |

In my opinion, stuff like episode 23 were far too few in the actual series itself. Where 'character moments' were more well-rounded and showed stuff beyond their usual 'worrying about war,' even if it almost looked out of character.
Spoiler for 23:

Also, translated the insert song here: http://defade.livejournal.com/347960.html Took some minor liberties. Last edited by Defade; 2010-12-10 at 02:01. |
