Its a pretty generic jrpg story for awhile. It starts to get interesting after all of the main cast is introduced and the plot starts to go somewhere.
But I don't have high hopes for this. A1 could have done a much better job of this pilot than they did. In the game this whole section is covered in about 10 minutes. MC just meets Lyria, Hydra fight, then they steal an airship and fly off. None of the villager stuff or extra exposition. Could have done it all in one episode.

What did you expect from literally an iOS game.

>iOS game
Huh?

It's an adaptation of a phone RPG.

>expecting good story from a board game about collecting pngs with voice clips

wtf I thought it isn't broadcasted in this season?

It using a same template as Shingeki no bahamut, but they manage make it so boring shit.

It's not.

They pre-aired the first two episodes for some fucking reason a season before the actual release.

BAHAMOOTO

This pose is fucking hilarious holy shit

...

Its a browser game

Is it?, well that makes all the difference.

I think it was supposed to air this season originally but got delayed. These two episodes may be a way to try to make up for their shit.

>Crystal right on her DFC
This is lewd and erotic.

The story is pretty boring because they spent the first two episodes on LITERALLY NOTHING.

For some reason, they decided that the prologue really needed two episodes when it gets like 5 minutes on the game and everything is explained as you go.

It'd probably be better if they actually decided to adapt some of the story but that would actually take effort.

I mean it's pretty generic so far but I don't see the issue, I thought it was enjoyable enough. Nice to have fantasy that isn't bogged down by being shitty isekai, you know? Just playing the classic SNES RPG plot straight feels refreshing.

Until the last 2 minutes it felt extremely distilled and dull, let's-not-do-anything-over-the-top thing. Just like the Kancolle anime. Now that they took off to the skies I feel that it's gonna be better from now on. Maybe I'm wrong but we'll see.

I enjoyed it. Lyria is ultra cute.

p-phalanx!

The plot is one piece but in the sky.

It's the most generic, blandest thing ever.

But you know what? If you've never seen an anime before, or played any JRPG before, or haven't absorbed anything related to either of those things through osmosis, then this show is actually pretty good.

... Can someone describe Katalina's character for me? She's just kind of a serious lady, and I don't understand why she wants to risk her position in this big evil Empire or their wrath, all for the sake of this one cute girl.

Why does it seem so hard to take a bunch of good looking blank canvas characters, and write a good story out of it? It was the same with Kancolle... cute girls, bland story.

...

Every mobage starts off as a bland cashgrab, and then eventually something comes out of it if you're lucky.

I'll actually give credit to Granblue for not having yet another "GENERIC POINTLESS BAD GUYS TRYING TO CHANGE HISTORY" premise.

Fate Grand Order, Touken Ranbu, and Boatsluts all have that template. It's bad.

And the funny thing is, you're asking for SoB, Cygames' other "mobage into anime" thing where they just take the setting and some characters for Rage of Bahamut, and turn it into an actually decent anime. I'm not gonna say GOOD. Just decent.

I can already tell best girl is the one in black. Am I right or right?

I'm glad they're doing the soundtrack justice at least.

This made me cringe

She's a sultry mysterious dame, that's for sure.

She's thousand years old hag JK

No. This one is.

This would have been interesting if Djeeta was the MC

Same. I don't understand why all these people and villagers are risking their livelihoods on some blue haired girl. If they gave us more backstory like how everyone hates the empire or some shit it would make more sense but so far it's all so shallow. Gran didn't even know her for more than 5 minutes or even have a real conversation and pretty much ruins his life for her.

This seems like the party you would have for a Tales of game

yes

Wrong, but on the right track.

Best girl is Lyria.

>This would have been interesting if the boy was a girl
Oh fuck you.

Is this some kind of special? It's listed for next season on the charts

This is like Chain Chronicles. The anime fails to give me a motivation to like the characters.

Why were the episodes delayed?

Will Cygames get bankrupt with this flop??

>flop

Katalina's defining traits are acting as a big sister for Lyria and cooking awful food. Really, her entire justification is just to make Lyria happy.

Well, she also has a subplot with her yandere not-imouto Vira. There was actually an animated short done for it which never went anywhere for some reason

Many were disappointed that they with with A1 instead

>dumb frogposter

Eugen VA dying so they delayed to see him dead or not.

A1 bites more than they can chew like usual

>Age: 11
>Height : 131 cm
>Type : Human
>Hobbies : Fashion
>Likes : Her teacher
>Dislikes : Creepy old men
>A young lass who loathes being treated like a child, Io encounters and eventually joins you while in search of her master, who vanished in the Valtz Duchy. Io is persistent and refuses to give up in the face of adversity, but she's a little inflexible, too. As you might guess from the way she bristles at being treated like a child, she can't wait until she's all grown up.

Obviously.

People give a shit about granblue for one reason and it's not the story or gameplay.

It wasn't broadcasters fault? Wasn't this shit delayed last year?

>Eugen VA dying
Please tell me you're jesting.

Yeah, for the cute little girls.

The whole delivery of these two episodes was poor. In the game, Gran never goes back to the Village after meeting Lyria, until months later. They just leave the island immediately. The Empire also gives plenty of reasons to be reviled shortly after. So its bizarre they made this modification without thinking any of it out.

He has had a prolonged Hiatus. None of his new lines in game have been voiced for months, which is very unusual. He also isn't listed in the cast for the anime.

he along with taneda risa went hiatus after recording Utawarerumono 3 iirc

...

Here's some backstory/spoilers. I'll be kind enough to wrap it in spoiler tags too.

Katalina is a former Knight from the empire and she's unsatisfied with the Empire's way of doing things. She's a knight that wants to protect the weak and do the right thing but the Empire is the main antagonist in this arc of the story and she doesn't want to continue working for them like this.

Lyria is a former captive from the empire. She has the ability to control and pacify primal beasts and Katalina was in charge of her because she was a high rank in the empire. Lyria has no memory from before she was captured by the Empire and is the cause why Kat decides to ditch the empire.

Kat visits Lyria in her cell and bit by bit they start knowing each other and trusting each other. Eventually, Kat promises Lyria that she will show her what the sky looks like because the only thing Lyria knows is the insides of her cell and Kat ends up leaving the empire and taking Lyria with her.

In their attempt of escaping, they come across Gran and Vee. Gran tries to protect Lyria from her empire pursuers but dies trying and Lyria revives him with her power but that makes them linked forever so if Lyria ever dies, Gran will die too and viceversa. In the original story, they don't stick around and fight their pursuers but escape in an airship to another island. The airship crashes and burns at Port Breeze and that's where the story actually starts/begins. For reference, the starting island where Gran gets killed is called Zinkenstill.


The story at the start is pretty meh because it was written/made years ago when the game was still new but the most recent episodes, events and stories have improved tons and got really nice so if they stick to the story then the anime should see a nice boost in quality to the story as it goes.

Single digit girls are the best!

Early main story chapters are absolutely horrible.

Game became crazy popular thanks to side characters and events.

Anime is most likely going to be horrible. They probably won't even show popular characters like loli old man, fashion slut or cock high priestess.

Maybe Vira will save it but it's a big maybe.

Another reason why the delivery felt poor is because there's a ton of anime original filler. The prologue is pretty short and straight forward.

Lyria shows up, Gran gets killed, gets revived and they summon BAHAMOOTO to scare off pommern who runs away screaming YOU HAVENT SEEN THE LAST OF ME DESU NEEEE and they escape to a island away from the empire because it'd be crazy for kat and a wounded kid to fight an entire army by themselves. That's it. Anything not in the above is pretty much anime original.

While it would make it better, but it would take more than that to make the anime interesting. A-1 was a mistake.

She's okay. Probably the best story character unless you count Vira or the bad guys.

Good OP and ED

It'd be the same thing except threads would be filled with /u/ posting, and I like /u/ but it'd ensure that even if the anime got good later the threads would be uninhabitable for the entire run.

I hope you like crazy lesbians trying to change history.

Freesia should have died

She's a disgrace to the erun race

Am I being memed on?

Any game questions or game discussion goes in the /vg/ general though.

I was looking for this image earlier, thank you.

>Same. I don't understand why all these people and villagers are risking their livelihoods on some blue haired girl.
no kidding

I had a difficult time watching the MC just throw everything with such a genuine attitude for some stranger he met, and it's not even his dick talking for him because it's a flat-chested kid.

It's pretty generic/typical RPG plot out of Japan, but the problem I felt was that it felt so horribly fake (combination of the slow pacing, voices, and script).

i'd believe it more if the MC just helped so their bullshit trouble doesn't involve the village, and then it gets too deep for him to pull out himself.

She's one of the hottest sluts in the game. And she made the main story interesting after the shit early chapters.

Seeing all those fucking doujins of this shit and then I see the anime has like no monster girls. What the fuck is this?

This shit was horribly generic. It was just hitting every checkbox on fantasy/rpg cliches but not actually doing anything interesting with them.

>"GENERIC POINTLESS BAD GUYS TRYING TO CHANGE HISTORY" premise.
Well I have some bad news for you then

Check
for backstory.

Also, gran tosses everything away because chasing after his dad has been his life's dream. Gran recieves a letter from his dad saying that he's at the sky's end, in the Astral island of Estalucia and traveling with Katalina and Lyria is his best bet of getting there.

Is the game ever going to get localized?

This stupid shit is only adapting early chapters of the main stroy. So generic, bland boring shit nobody cares about.

And A-1 is doing it in the worst way imaginable. They picked the shit MC and are adding retarded filler that only makes story seem more stupid.

You are like two years late.

the game already had english language option for almost a year

>people are STILL analpained about Gran
Jesus Christ get over it. The anime would be EXACTLY the same if it was DJ instead.
The only difference is the threads would be cancerous /u/ circlejerks.

Will the anime have Calig?

Can't believe I wasted time watching this and it's not even airing fully until april. Fucking blueballing me with an average as fuck show. Come on.

This anime feels so slowly paced, I don't even know how we will get past chapter 24ish at this rate.
I think we've taken two episodes on just the first 10 minutes of the game already.
I know they are going for the main plot, but I'll also be a bit disappointed if we don't at least get cameos and a casino OVA.

She's the best of the main cast until about midway when they introduce Vira and the Black Knight.

I'LL SHATTER THIS SKY WHEN THE LAST CHAIN BREAKS.

>tfw no danua gf

A1 just completely butchered the Ace Attorney anime last year. What did you people expect?

but is there a western release?

Probably never.

>casino ova
>poker full house!
>alright time to double up
>it's an eight
Good game.

At least the plot is already written, even if it takes a while to get really interesting and th ebest parts probably won't even be animated. Kancolle was just a fucking mess that didn't fucking knew what it wanted to do even as it was ending.

Vira is definitely one of the best part of the main quest.

I thought Katalina's defining trait was being a lizard fucker.

why ;__;

Only in the 4koma

A-1 always does semi-pretty anime with utter shit story and bland characters. Whenever it's an anime-original, mobage, LN, or VN, it's usually bad, but nips love the hell out of them anyway for some reason.
When they do seinen manga adaptations it's pretty good though. The last anime they made that I genuinely liked were Space Brothers and Silver Spoon.

They should have made a Bravely Default anime for fucks sake.

Idk what this is but the girl on the right is cute! CUTE!!
