How much blood do you think Baba was shitting during this scene?

>gg ez'd Rose and her entire goon squad with a cooking knife
>beat so bad she forced them to become her squad's cocksleeves
>Rose becomes Alisha's personal subordinate instead of the other way around

Why is the show so much better then the source material?

Alisha was a total qt3.14 this episode.

She is really the best girl.

Devs realized their mistakes of making female lead and OTP some background character.

How did the scene play out in the game?

They're making Alisha the Mary Sue this time. Good job UFO

>>147077617

It didn't. This scene never happens in the game.

>>147077617
I don't think there was a scene like that at all.

>>147077572
But Sorey is gay.

Also Rose and Alisha are both garbage. A sociopath and female equivalent of a bland self-insert are inherently shit

>>147077617
The scene is completely anime original. They've done a great job imo.

>>147077617
In the worst way possible by not existing.

>>147077672
They bullied her a lot in the first few episodes though. She deserved to be shown being badass after that.

So is Alisha actually the heroine of the anime? I've heard that it apparently avoids the mistake of giving Rose center stage and makes her pretty much take her importance instead.


Did it reduce the gayness? I really hope it didn't but I might be okay with it if Alisha gets the pandering shipperbait instead of Rose as well

>>147077672
Rule of cool: Its okay to be a Mary Sue if people like you.

Alisha is well-liked; if she defeats Kittybeard for no reason she'll be accepted.

Baba should apologize for his agenda.

She deserved it for all her suffering.

Alisha is basically Mami, without losing her head and saving everyone.

She's pretty much characterless.

Yeah its better than being a murderous monster the plot fellates due to Baba rewrites but empty husks aren't my cuppa joe.

Still hope Rose goes evil and Alisha kills her so hard it makes Fairy Tail 404 make sense

>it's an "Alisha tries to make herself useful but everyone ignores her" episode

>>147077743
There is no heroine. This story is about Sorey. Everyone else is secondary.

Just watch it. The stuff they changed and added were for the best.

God, I hated the way the game treated Alisha. Making her seem irrelevant and incompetent throughout most of the game.

Love the way the anime is representing her.

>Be me posting Zestsy AOTY every episode
>People think it's bait

>>147077881
stop it.

I'll get a suffering boner.

>>147077743
It's still extremely gay but yeah Rose has most of her shiptease cut and Alisha gets a tad bit of it instead.


Sorey is still main grill though.

>>147077957
Memeposting is bait.

But keep on doing it.

without it, /a/ will devolve into /generals/

>“In Tales series, usually the relationship between the hero and the heroine deepens, but in Zestiria, the focus is on two male childhood friends.” - Ohsaka Ryouta (September 2016 NewType)

What do you think?

>>147077572
Alisha may be better, but she's not Sorey's love interest, she's a duertagonist now.

Should I watch this if I haven't played the gaymes?

>>147077743
>So is Alisha actually the heroine of the anime?

Yeah pretty much. She doesn't squire up with Sorey and has her own story to follow pretty much. Rose pretty much got relegated to Alisha's subordinate this last episode after beating the shit out of her and her assassin squad.

>>147078221
Only if you are gay.

>>147078221

Yes. Don't play the game unless you want to catch aids.

>justifying cancerous writing like this
Wew lad. In any case, I don't think Alisha is being pushed as a heroine just because she finally got to be more than suffering, but simply the deuteragonist she could've always been.

>>147078222
That's not what a heroine role is, anon.

Also stop counting your eggs before they hatch. We have no clue what they're going to do with Rose and this show could go to shit instantly by the start of next cour.

This. Also, I want Alisha and Rose to be true friends and comrades. I don't want one of them sucking up to the other like it happened in the game. Rose has a lot to learn from Alisha, but I think Alisha also has a bit to learn from Rose. I want the anime to give that dynamic a chance.

First cour will end with Alisha "dying" and Sorey becoming unable to see Seraphims.

>>147078453

Fuck off, Baba. UFO is saving Zestiria.

>>147078571
It really seems like they're going to get those two much closer than the forced DLC did, and I'm grateful. Since Sorey doesn't need a Squire anymore, it's a logical path. Of course, we'll have to see what happens by the end of this.

>>147078221
Yes. They're so different at this point, you might as well consider them two different things that happen to share characters.

Am I the only one who saw Alisha raised a death flag here? Anime original end with both Sorey and Alisha sacrificing themselves and Rose takes up their mantle might be possible.

>>147079566
It seems a little too obvious to be a real death flag. Maybe a fake death flag. I could see this season ending with Maltran "killing" Alisha as a cliffhanger for next season.

>>147079566
Alisha will "die" to the public, but live the rest of her life with Rose.

A Hime-Sama the most perfectly perfect entity in a Bandai thing? Unpossible!

>>147079566
Alisha will die and become a seraph. In 600 years she and Sorey (who also became a seraph) make a little seraph together. The little seraph is who meets Mikleo in 700 years, wearing his father's glove. It was a long time and Sorey just forgot about Mikleo. The cutting of the tickle fight foreshadows this.

>>147077572
Alisha and Sorey are the BROTP, no need to sexualize them.

>>147077572
they look like siblings with those eyes

>>147080198
Wow this delusion.

>>147080634
That's what their relationship was supposed to be like. Meebo was intended as the boy sandwiched between them.

I now understand why someone would follow another person onto the battlefield.

>>147080198
But will she go back to when she was the happiest?
