I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Boji's mom is such a sweet and caring lady it was so sweet seeing her have such adorable and wholesome moments with him |
| It got me again! I feel so STUPID! I KNOW this anime subverts expectations like nobody's business, but it pulled me right in with the knight's attitude and appearance. Maybe I've watched TOO many anime. |
| Wasn't the second part a little bit pointless knowing what we know about Bosse lol ? He only wanted more power and took it from his future blood but we get a happy family kind of thing |
 |
| More Kage's story from when he was younger! And I liked the change of art style during the 2nd story, sweet episode :) |
 |
| Now that was a really nice episode. We already had an episode about Kage and Bojji's moms, so I would like to see an episode about Miranjo, her mom, and Bosse. It would also be nice to have an episode focused on Kingbo, cause I really found his character interesting... |
 |
| Wonderful episode. Enjoyed a new style too. |
| Such a great episode, loved both parts and they were super wholesome. Also the different animation style they used in the second part was cool |
| kage and his mom, i always liked his mom even with the little screentime she got in the main series. the art style change was just fine i guess. |
 |
| it was not bad, the stories were not bad. |
| if you hated this episode/chapter, just watch/read something else... IG (https://www.instagram.com/otakuweek?igsh=em5kY3Q4NTVtNXlh) Discord (https://discord.gg/vbZrk64uH7) |
| So that's why Kage obtain the Horse toy from his mom. Interesting choice of artstyle for the second part. |
 |
| Who gave the green light for that art style in the second mini story? lol, jfc... "It's quirky and different!", no, it's cheap, ugly and pathetic. This anime is riding through some pretty big peaks and troughs. |

B3RyL01 said: I'm not sure why I laughed so hard at "skill issue, I guess" but I agree with your sentiment towards the change of art style in this episode. @ChaoticBull It's called "artistic freedom". By portraying it like a children's book, we get to see Bojji's happy upbringing through his eyes. It reinforces the idea that he had a beautiful, happy childhood. I'm really sorry that the message of this very much deliberate change in artstyle flew right over your head, but that's your fault and no one else's. Skill issue, I guess. |

| I love the art style for the second half of the episode. Looks like a painting! Also, baby Bojji is the cutest thing ever 🥰 |

| Thought that knight would have pounded Koji or tried to step on him with his horse. The knight was truly a knight he saw that Koji was a child and didn't bring any harm to him. |
| I'm not crying ... so wholesome episode totally loved the change of animation as it is fairy tail time <3 that nose kiss is so precious |

on ChaoticBull said: Agreed, it's almost certainly a decision made with budget and time at the forefront of importance here. They saw "shit, do we really have to animate Bosse vs a whole bunch of same sized trolls?" plus a lot of other crowded scenes, and came up with a half arsed solution. B3RyL01 said: Lmfaoo no shot you said skill issue to something like this it doesn't even make sense. It wasn't a bad ep but i really didn't like that art style it was weird, Sorry im not some English major deep diving into the meaning of an art style change i don't really think about stuff like that it's super nerdy for no reason on some type of shit like "the curtains were blue meaning he was depressed" lmao. The way i took the art style change was budget issues or just trying to save budget because they didn't wanna animate all the giants and stuff good kinda like something dragon ball z did not wanting to draw Goku with long hair so they decided to make a transformation useless because of that.@ChaoticBull It's called "artistic freedom".

The art style wasn't even the worst of it, it was the clanky, garbage animation as a result lol. How they animated them running for example XD XD This what I would expect some pretentious studio like Science Saro to pull if I'm being honest. |

| This episode was pretty good! the first part was wholesome and im glad they showed Kage meeting more really nice people. The 2nd part with the "puppet-y" kind of artstyle was weird but i grew to like it and it felt like i was reading a fairy tale book. anyways this ep is a 10/10 once again |
My Candys!  |
| Budget concerns are the funniest things mentioned in anime communities whenever a show shifts their art direction for an episode. The second half of the episode was entirely animated by Ryoya Kaga, who also did the second Ending theme visuals from the first season. It was very much so intentionally done this was as a solo effort, and not for some 'cost cutting' method. Whether or not you liked it (frankly you should if you give a damn at all about creativity and talent within the medium), avoid continuing to spout baseless nonsense. All this could have been found by a short google or twitter search. |
| The animation in the second story is particular, like a paper puppet spectacle. |
| Kage's shadow family origins as an assassin clan, it looks like his life was predetermined to be one hellish life awaiting him in the Kingdom of Bo. A bullfighting that rendered a bull gone knockers, and the greatest knight Kyo at least respects Kage for what he's done, for his dream will change the outcome of his life once he meets Bojji. Bojji's family on the other hand, the art style being that like paper-thin cutouts, it's definitely a look for some distinct and creative animation. Back in the day when King Bosse and his wife Shiina had Bojji to take care of, and things where just growing for the Kingdom of Bosse under his father's hard work. Of course, we all know how that turned out with King Bosse wanting to be strong that he left Shiina, but that his position as king is earned with the respect of people before he turned his ways. A familial episode that isn't familiar at all, still tugs at the heartstrings. |
 |
| The 2nd half was a solo animation effort. Just one look at the credits should have been enough. Some of the stuff Bosse says to his wife feels so bullshit. |
| It's cool to see Bojji mother in her role. She didn't get enough screentime on the original series. Also, Bosse for once was being devoted to his son. Makes you think after everything that happened huh. |

| Bojji and the shadow's moms stories were just awww. |
 |
| 2nd half animation was classic animation! pretty nice! and oh...i'm not cryin'...your cryin'!! lolz 5/5. |
 |
| Damn, knowing fate of both mothers this episode was in the same time heartwarming and heartbreaking to watch. I really wish they were revived somehow, of course knowing this story/world it would only backfired.

Which is not surprise considering the anime's title, it'd be very strange if nothing happened after achieving the top King position. First season literally ended with Desha going to Divine Treasure Vault after accepting 1st rank. |

| Knight Kyo reminded me a hella lot of Handsome Squidward. Sweet/bittersweet episode. Absolutely loved the children's book-like animation of the second half. |

| I mentally embraced myself for a tragedy when they showed us Kage and his mom. Turned out better than I expected. |
 |
| I don't like Kage's new English voice actor. Its so bad. The last half of the episode was very unique! I'm glad we were able to see more of Kage's mom and Boji's. I didn't know that Kage's mom was the one that made him the little toy he would roll around, which is so sad because that's what he traded for the tomato to just be thrown onto the floor :( |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| Amazing episode. The first half was ok, but the second half was great. I appreciate seeing more of Bojjis mom, since the main series had so little of her. She's a very lovable person, and I like seeing these redeeming qualities in the horrible person that is Bosse. I loved the change in art style, and like said earlier, people who are unironically stupid enough to think it's a budget thing are suffering from severe skill issues. You're probably the type of dong that actually likes those 4K 60FPS anime edits on YouTube. |

| So sweet seeing young Kage and his mama :'). Bojji with his parents was also very wholesome. |
