Ragna Crimson ?
Community rating: 3.9

Episode 8 of Ragna Crimson issues itself with penalties and pursuit whereas additionally managing to stay the touchdown on each whereas opening the door for future pleasure.

The fallout of Crimson and Ragna’s gambit with Ultimatia is likely one of the extra attention-grabbing ends to a struggle. There is not any clear winner right here – everybody walks away mad, scarred, or each. Ultimatia is distraught over the struggling, Ragna is laid out and exhausted, Nebulim is livid that Ultimatia was harm, and Crimson is mad that his good plans weren’t executed completely. Everyone has suffered right here (Crimson most of all it appears) and it is a good instance of the shift occurring on account of Ragna’s newfound energy. This is a struggle that ends in neither one-sided slaughter nor a heroic method.

This type of determined conclusion is one thing of an everyday incidence for the sequence going ahead. I do not wish to reveal an excessive amount of and spoil something, however suffice it to say that this is a component of the sequence I get pleasure from. If the anime continues to adapt the manga straight (and there is not any indication that it will not), then you definitely’ll see extra fights like this: battles the place it looks like the whole lot is on the road however by the point the mud settles someway the stakes are greater and the chase has turn out to be extra determined.

We additionally get the introduction of one in every of my favourite characters, Starlia Lese. Her energy set, mannerisms, design, companions – her entire setup is terrific. She additionally makes Crimson sweat as a result of he cannot lie by his enamel so freely in her presence, and that is good comedy. Her introduction marks probably the most important character additions past our two leads to date and I’m excited to see how she involves life on the display going ahead.
