Hiya. This is just a quick one for episode 1. When the Shadow Lord addresses Fallow, is he using an honorific with his name?Because he pronounces it "Farou-you", while others just pronounce his name "Farou".

Just something that caught my eye. Or ear... XD

I don't have much to say about episode 1. It did a good job at setting the scene of everything.

You might have heard "Farou yo!"

"yo" is a particle which emphasizes a statement.

Oh really? That's a neat little nugget of info!

And I'm glad to hear you're back from your intrepid journey into the deep workings of fansubbing. I thought something... else... had
happened, but it's wonderful that you're still persevering.

Haha! Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I'm surprised you still came back after so long!

This episode was OK i would have preferred to see Lief with his friends, instead of fighting gray guards but it was still done well  .
I like the part when Lief was like, "Ehhhhh," about Barda coming with his expression is so priceless

Yes, it's interesting how the anime wanted to depict him as this saviour type character.

I also liked this episode, thought I must say I dislike the art direction that was taken with the pictures that show King Adin's story. I know it was intentional, but the pixelly quality of the artwork really didn't resonate me. This also occurred in the episode with the Ra-Kacharz, and the cards that they had. Brr.

Besides that, it was pretty well animated!

Oh, and I've been wondering (this is the only place I could think of putting it): honorifics! I already spoke of honorifics before, but now I've just realised: almost nobody uses honorifics in this anime! Or perhaps not ones that I am familiar with. Honorifics that denote status seem to be unused, except for the occasional 'sama'. Is there any reason why this is done, I wonder? Is this common in fantasy anime? I would've thought this would sound off to Japanese audiences, as usually a lack of honorific denotes rudeness, no?
