I had seen the first two when they released, but finally got to watch the third. It's funny, I really hated Riichi Miura before, but now he's not too bad.

My best friend got me into the manga and it's just so, so beautiful! We both adore it.

I didn't know that the anime is going to be streaming so soon! Thank you so much for this thread! :D

@Trellia
I got into the manga a long time ago because a friend of a friend posted an article about it on Facebook.

There's a 3-episode prequel OVA available to stream on crunchyroll right now.

[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/Q1zuSw4.png[/img][/center] It's-a-streamin' right now on crunchyroll. I'm a little disappointed in the opening animation. I was hoping they'd have more original animation for it instead of using clips of episodes. And they reveal Elias' "true" form right in the opening sequence. Is that a good or bad thing? idk, but I obsessively screencapped it [url=https://i.imgur.com/m8y02vm.png]here[/url] and [url=https://i.imgur.com/4rYu57Z.png]here[/url]. ----- @1ttybittykitty @swinub @Disillusionist @MissGoldenPixel @TyrianCallows @Wakor @korvas @Pepperdragon @Trellia

im just mad they translated it into Sleigh Beggy instead of Slay Vega

Anywho, here's to hoping I get to see my three-eyed, four-armed fae boi Ashen Eyes

Edit: Just finished the episode and saw the previews for the next one and ??? Where is his nose ??? That is not enough nose compared to the manga.

Is the new movie/show online? I saw the three-part prequel but wasn't sure if the other one is out yet

@KitschBird
I have so much to watch and so little time T_T

@TyrianCallows
Haha. I was comparing Elias' "true" form to the actual manga. They made him ripped in the anime instead of eerily skinny. This is just going off 2 stills, though.

The biggest thing in the anime that bothers me is that they show Elias walking to the auction house without his glamour. It could be Elias was wearing his glamour and they just wanted to show him in his normal form.

I noticed the anime does do some small things better or more clearly than the manga. In the first three episodes, they eliminate some discrepancies present in the manga.

I had to look up the "Sleigh Beggy" term for myself just a few days ago. The US manga publisher talks about "Sleigh Beggy" vs. "Slay Vega" here.


@korvas
The TV anime's first episode is out on crunchyroll. They're doing a "simulcast" with Japan for October, at least. A new episode every Saturday at 10:30am PDT.

The anime will have 24 episodes so far, but I don't know if they will air all in a row or if they will take a break. I never followed an anime series so closely before.


@1ttybittykitty
I have so much to do for work. X____X

I am taking time to watch Magus every Saturday, though. I need SOMETHING for myself.
