So this isn't actually about Alp Arslan, of the Seljuks? The guy who kicked the rear end of the Eastern Roman Empire at the battle of Manzikert?

There's probably no one historical Arslan that Tanaka is drawing from. It's more like a giant amalgam of a bunch of them with big helping of the Amir Arsalan epic.

I agree and it's probably my second favourite show of the season after My Love Story, unfortunately a character driven low fantasy series very loosely based on Persian history is probably a hard sell for people. It also isn't helped by having a previous adaptation that was very dry and and didn't even try to do anything to humanise the characters like this is.

Hmmm, does it count as a reverse harem if the main character is a dude too?

I'm watching this show too. I really want to read the books. I don't know if the ones available on Amazon go past where this anime will end or not or what. According to what I've seen, there are quite a few volumes that have been published in Japanese, and it appears they're very slowly getting published in English now. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

To put in in perspective, we'll probably be getting to the end of what's covered in the first book/OVA by about episode 8, give or take. The first OVA is 50 minutes long.

Who else checked the OP and ED to make sure this new character wasn't the Silver-masked General sent on an infiltration mission into Ectabana? (I'm naturally paranoid okay)

Gieve's rear end in a top hat Adventures The fights in this are great when they're not *sword clashing sounds* over a panning background.

Blasted through the first four episodes yesterday. This is a good show. Not LotGH but better than most animes I've seen lately. I'm surprised it hasn't had more attention on here. Maybe because it doesn't have babes? It has lots of gorgeous hunks though? Maybe it isn't Tom of Finland enough (like Jojos)? Either way, it is rad.

It's a very deliberately paced show (trying to avoid the word slow there, it's not really, but) which doesn't really have instant appeal and the first episode, while entertaining enough, gives very little indication of its eventual direction and makes it all to easy to assume that it would just be moe prince's fun time adventures. And it's also possible that people have been burned on the previous adaptation. Also there's babes as soon as our final main character makes her appearance (probably) next episode.

Probably a good thing I've never heard of Arslan till now then. This adaption is great though, I'm looking forward to when Arslan and co get into the thick of things. Also Daryun and Hak would be bros.

This and Snafu are the two main shows that I'm watching as they air this season. Is there anywhere to check a synopsis of the books that were already published?

Rodyle posted:I haven't seen Yona but I thought she wasn't into girls? Wouldn't stop her from falling for Arslan anyway. At least Yona would acknowledge Arslan as a very pretty princess. I loved Yona so I've been meaning to check this out, but I'm saving it for when I'm not busy. How dreamy is the reverse harem in comparison to Hak and co.?
