But was it the truth or is she putting on an act? Sometimes I feel like she’s being genuine, yet other times her expressions makes me think that she may be a different person from who she’s making herself out to be. We know the most about her, her motives, personality, and past. Nashetania (2) – One of the most suspicious, for sure.He’s the point-of-view, and he’s shown no signs of an ulterior motive. For the time being, Adlet is among the least suspicious. I want them to be actively plotting against the others, and I want it to be a surprise when it’s revealed (and we know it will be revealed in the final episode, according to the new Crunchyroll competition). I want the fake to know they’re the fake. That’s possible, but if that is the case I think it would be a weak twist. Adlet (6) – Some suspect that he may the fake his powers given by the Demon God instead, because of how ‘dark’ and suspicious his choosing was.In order of appearance (and order of most to least suspicious), we have: At this stage, some have alarm bells ringing. Since we’re introduced to everyone now, I think it’s only fair to judge them all from what we’ve seen of them. It could be that particular individual is unaware of the fact, but I’m going to assume otherwise. There’s a fake among the seven – that much is obvious.
Last week may have been a step-down, much like most of this episode, but now that we’ve reached this pivotal moment, I expect (and hope) things to heat up from here on out. It took a while to get to this point, since it was in every synopsis of the series, being the major ‘hook’ to get us interested. They’ve all got their mark, but legend dictates that there is always six Braves – no more, no less. And then there’s the seventh Brave, Hans Humpty ( Suzumura Kenichi), an oddball with cat-like characteristics who doesn’t seem shaken by the revelation that there is an extra Brave among them. She’s the most mature of the bunch, and instantly feels like the ‘leader’ of the pack. Mora Chester ( Satou Rina) makes her appearance after being referenced last week. Chamo Rosso ( Kakumi Ai) is introduced as the strongest Brave from the offset – a little girl who is already well-known by all of the others. The episode finally gets good when the final three Braves are introduced. Why? We don’t know just yet, and I suspect that mystery will be drawn out until the very last moment. Yet, as Adlet points out, she seems to want to take down the Demon God herself. We learned that Fremy is in fact the Brave Killer – going out of her way to assassinate those who could have been eventually chosen. Apart from some lame fights, nothing really happened. It’s an odd one, because the first two-thirds of the episode were below average, and not just in the visual department. Thankfully, the last few minutes of the episode saved it from being terrible. Since that premiere, we’ve never got anywhere near that level of animation quality. I found myself wondering what Rokka no Yuusha would be like if it were animated by a more renowned studio – would it have received better treatment? Passione are still newcomers, so this lackluster execution is to be expected, but it’s still disappointing because the first episode in particular had some promising art direction and fight choreography.
That camera-spin at the end was nauseatingly bad. Note: These screencaps are not reflective of the overall quality of the episode – these were the passable parts lodged between one terribly-drawn scene after another. Character models were wonky, and the CGI fiends and environments are overwhelmingly poor. So many shots were needlessly zoomed in (which I presume was by error), characters were speaking out of shot, and about 80% of the episode just looked off. There’s no point sugar coating it: this was one of the worst looking anime episode I’ve seen in quite a while (and I watch World Trigger!). First things first, this episode was ugly.
