Wow, this was one messy episode.

Majority of the episode with the marriage was pretty lame, to say the least. Sketchy from the get-go but it's good that Yu Mi-ra caught on to that in time. And that fight in the end of the segment too, that was far too quick for closure yikes.

And then that 10-second clip between the main characters, I was so looking forward to it even. Disappointed, to say the least.

So when the episode started and some guy we’ve never met shows up and proposes and then as it became clear this would be what the entire episode was about I can’t even express how disappointed I was, I mean this series literally just started and this episode hit the breaks on all the momentum the first 3 episodes were building. I should mention as a general rule I just don’t enjoy episodes like this that take a break from the actual story to spend an episode on some wacky adventure and I don’t think this one was good at that type of side story or out of nowhere situation like the marriage is. That said there’s good moments, it fleshed out things about Mira really well, it made her being obsessed with her sword style believable when you see how much her father meant to her and how clearly practicing the family art was their bonding time and seeing her uncle makes her realize that if she doesn’t carry that legacy it will die out. And the moments at the wedding itself worked well enough for me too I enjoyed that, but that’s less than half the episode and the majority that weren’t those moments I didn’t care at all, I mean We BARELY know this character this early on, This kind of episode just doesn’t work when we aren’t emotionally invested with and a character we know already, she wants the sword style to succeed and the guy seems to want to help with that so what’s the problem? Oh he’s evil I guess. Well he’s entirely new and we also don’t have any real idea what any motivations whatever weird cult has so... yeah I guess he.. wanted to do something bad? Her friends and family talking her out of making a decision she’ll regret was a good scene I felt like, even if we were entirely introduced to her family just now as well. BUT as soon as she tells the guy she can’t go through with it I KNEW that the evil husband would do the stupid generic “actually I’m evil and also CAH-RAZY HAHAHAH” schtick which pretty much always sucks. Her fight moment after makes up for that at least. ANYWAY, good moments throughout the episode but it was boring and a majority of it felt like pointless filler, wish they could have given Mira’s backstory in a better way because all of that was good and unless evil business man sticks around the rest of it could have been replaced. That said this episodes ending was genuinely FANTASTIC. It came a bit out of nowhere, but god damn was it strong and made me go from “enjoying the show” to “absolutely excited to see what’s next”. The ending made a sub-par episode actually pretty incredible

THEY ACTUALLY LEFT IN THE MARRIAGE SUBPLOT!!! I must say, Mappa has some serious guts?! That said though, I quite like the way they handled it and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
That bit at the end was just icing on the cake. If only it didn't leave me heartbroken as well.

In all seriousness it went from a 10 to an 7 when we got to the ending. Shit hit hard but not in a good way, I wanted to feel for Daewi and the situation but goddamn the pacing wouldn't let me lol

Once again comedy is on point
And I love the mythos/lore around the Moon Light Sword and Mira

The oni demon warrior, while I have my gripes with this stuff not being explained, lowkey I was digging the fact Daewi knew the same power was coming out like last time.

Wtf happened?
Logic went out through window.
Marriage isn’t a joke.
And what the hell, how they stopped it like nothing?
Like if you are adding something to your storyline, at least be logically impactful.
Is Mira a dumbfounded girl? She just agreed to marry, like nothing?
Then her uncle and sister/cousin cried, two friends jumped into the stage and just stopped it?

And lol, that guy even got that sword with a happy face?
What’s going here? Everything is wrong.


Exactly!!! Nothing seemed Normal!!! Everything was just coming out of nowhere and then ends and we are like "WTH just happened???"

The show must be added with SoL tagged with the way of pacing it had on these episode. Beside that, the satisfaction had decreasing since the battle scenes were too little and Mira's justification felt nothing than just another 'hit and rushed' method of story telling for me. Nothing happened, i said again, and the plot was expected, especially with that raged.

Oh, man. Moved on.

The visuals and animation is top notch in the series but everything else feels odd? I'm not sure if the source material's story is as funky and illogical as it was portrayed in the anime. And I guess the pacing of the adaptation is just horrible... It feels like the studio had a list of things that happened in the manhwa and they're trying to cram all these events in to an episode or two.

I had high hopes for this based on the first episode, but seems like it's turning into a pile of shit.

Thou tbh the anime adaptation failed to deliver even half the emotions webtoon did with this event.

Wench randomly getting married in high school, then the same dude saving the girl from an obviously bad marriage also mercilessly beats her up all in the same episode. This is poetic af.

... and bad. Good enough indication this show will just go down the drain. I'm thinking hard of dropping but I still want to see what will happen with the cancer guy.

The story's execution is a mess. Its like watching Chinese anime. These fight though amazing animation has no weight if the story is not propert executed. Are they rushing or skipping some scenes in the manga?

Edit: Decided to drop this one after 4 EPs. Theres really something wrong w/ this anime that i cant exactly grasp.

Jeeeeesus Christ what was that episode?
This show gets dumber and dumber with each passing week.

A random fucking guy jumps Mira in the middle of the street and asks her to marry him. Not only does she fkn agrees, 2 minutes later they are holding the ceremony. All because that Tsukiyama looking motherfucker is rich and popular and Mira thinks he will make her kendo style popular and live through.

AND SHE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL HAPPEN

Dude literally just said "m'lady marry me. Me rich, me will make your sword popular"

And Mira is like "okay"

Like who wrote this? A 13 year old?

I swear to god Listeners plot made more sense that this...

This Anime, like TOG, is "probably" to promote Webtoon. You can see it from the effort they put into this.
If they took it seriously, this one episode can be made split into 2 or more episodes, just like as in some long "Shounen" Anime.

Its Manhwa might be worth reading.

Have not read the manga but this really feels rushed. Liked the episode mainly because the characters are honestly likeable but the situations they are put in hardly work because of how fast they are going and jumping from one plot to another. Would like to see a slower pace to truly grasp the development in the characters.

On a real though, Crunchyroll needs to go back to the drawing board when it comes to producing Webtoon anime, and talk with producers in Japan to actually give some time to animating the content and not just rush everything out and hype it beyond belief - since its only going to lead to potential newer viewers feel frustrated at the product.

When it comes to Tower of God, one of my favorite webtoons, it got absolutely butchered because of how lackadaisical the material was treated and produced with too much skipping, staticness and even changing stuff without benefits. If I hadn't read it beforehand, I probably would have hated this anime too.

When it comes to the God of High School, while I don't like the webtoon whatsoever, seeing how passionately the animation and choreography seems to be treated by the staff but also seeing them completely butcher the minimal moments where there is a story and not just action 24/7, must be frustrating too. Crunchyroll needs to find a way to let these webtoon adaptations breathe more, so that people can actually be excited to find out what's going to happen rather than be frustrated for how obviously poor it's being treated. Despite the material even being fast in the webtoon, this episode was a perfect example of incompetency when it comes to actually planning out the stories, characters and pacing for shows rather than just the promotions and eyecandy visuals, etc. They need to go back to the drawing board for future adaptations after Noblesse's anime is done in the future.

That marriage stuff came out of nowhere and it felt rushed to be honest. I wasn't enjoying the episode until the final moments. I was expecting a full fight on screen but I like the tone they gave it with Daewi's friend passing away (I guess that's what happened). I'm actually exited to watch the final showdown between those two, but... we're just in episode 5 and I don't know where is this going

Pd: who's the voice actor of the guy Mira was about to marry?

by far the weakest episode, why can't they just have proper pacing for these episodes, this should have at least been in episode 5. Episode 3 was my favorite and thought that it would be good from there but I was wrong. Animation, Fights, and OP aside, it feels like they want to heavily market the webtoon.

I saw the episode title and was like, this can't be for Mira right? Well it was and it was random as fuck XD How to throw someone off-guard.

Those final few minutes though, Daewi's friend passing away (not confirmed I suppose), caused him to really go out of control. Those bullies got what they deserved, but just seeing him wanting to win so badly for his friend, he had absolutely no mercy for Mira, Was a one-sided massacre. Rather painful to watch :( I just wish there was more to see of that fight!

"The hell was this?" the episode. Nothing about it works except for setting the two MCs up against each other. But it's not enough personality still to feel anything about them.
Not showing the fight between Daewi and Mira was kind of disrespectful. I guess they wanted to make it "girl gets the bride gown, dude gets to the finals", while also explaining her weakness as a wound, but it was still lame and random.

Truly, bad characterization always strikes back.The point of a tournament ark is good fights, people clashing and learning about themselves. And this show has already lost all these things in favor of idk even what.
Mira didn't need a silly marriage to shine, she needed good fights to demonstrate she's capable, but still losing to the desperate Daewi cause he's desperate.
Also they need the guts to call Daewi's "friend" his lover, as he seems.

This ep was totally out of place and felt like this was quite forced or one would even say that this felt like a filler episode, and needless to say I did not enjoy it that much. I do kinda hope that it is due to the fact that they are cutting corners here and there and well ... at least they are making it a little more subtle for the other guys (the one that beat Mira) backstory. So idk if you can still say rushed here? But this is putting down my expectations quite a bit for the rest of the series.

What the fuck was this piece of shit of an episode? I absolutely despise the random marriage plot point in ANY media, it's always so contrived, leads nowhere and it's nothing but a failed plot contrivance in order to "develop" a character which NEVER needed this kind of shit anyway. Mira OF ALL PEOPLE wouldn't succumb to something like this.

Also, those last bits were just perplexing, like, what the actual fuck!? the pacing went full retard, no other explanation.

I feel like they decided to animate this arc in order to flesh out the main characters a touch more. I haven't read the manga (yet) so I actually enjoyed it for what it was, along with the surprise twist at the end that changes the narrative. The pacing of this entire show is off, but I never took it super seriously to begin with, so 5/5 from me.

(there could have been more action though)

I wonder how many chapters were adapted in this. I complained a lot about the pacing in ToG, but this felt like 9-10 chapters in one. Everything felt extremely rushed.

By the way, it´s pretty obvious that Goku is going to win and after knocking Daewi will say something like "Losing a dream does not justify what you did" or some cliche shit like that. Out of the three, Daewi is by far the most interesting, but again this feels like it went lightning fast-

Despite him seeing his friend dying, it was pretty scummy to go for the cut Mira had. Im sure they won´t spend too much time being friends again, but still, he literally got her bleeding.

I was glad to see more of the the characters backstory but as others said, this wedding really felt out of place. Additionally, once she left her goal, it was predictable that she would lose though not how badly. It would have been nice to see them both fight with their personal goals on the line but that wasn't the case. She had a nice little animation against that weirdo but this episode really lacked the whole fighting that made the others interesting.
