His beloved helmet stands at a burning stake and asks him to get to a certain holy land. Gats, having previously re -offered his sword at the blacksmith, goes to her revenue. But everything is not so simple there. Refugees, distraught inquisitor, heretics, and behind all this is a kind of dark essence, wanting to bring something more sinister into this world.

For 2 years now, this young man has been waging his war against the Lord’s hand, but despite the number of apostles he had killed, he will not be able to victory in any way. Behind him there is a giant two -handed sword, Dragonslayer, which he calmly cuts anyone who will stand in his way. Also, our hero gradually began to go crazy and eventually acquired a small bifurcation of personality. The dark beast, either the wolf, or the dog, always whispers to him such horrors from which Gatsu is uneasy. Will he be able to keep him inside?

Two years ago, everyone whom this warrior girl knew were killed in the most cruel ways, and her herself raped her forces. After that, she lost her mind. But sometimes her past life wakes up in her for a moment. Because of her madness, she went to Albion, where something terrible should soon happen.

Elf traveling around the world in search of adventure. After Gats saved him from the bandits, he became his faithful assistant and personal first -aid kit. Tries to maintain his humanity in Gats. He was introduced to slightly reduce the level of cruelty, and is responsible for humor in the series (manga).

The boy is a little like a monkey, both behavior and appearance. Wants to become a skilled swordsman. To this end, Gats pursues wherever he goes. Most often is in the company of Pak and essentially plays the same role.

Lady Farnza de Vandimion can be called the second main character of the season. Since childhood, she was an “unusual” child. After one incident, her father sent the girl to a monastery, where prayers and priests quickly made a diligent believer out of her. After that, she woke up a passion for self -flagellation and an almost impenetrable faith in the Lord. As a formality, he was appointed commander of the holy knights of the iron chain, which consisted of spoiled heirs of noble genera. She herself does not have any leadership skills, but she keeps at the expense of her squire Serpico and commander Azan.

Sunceress Farnes and a skilled swordsman. His combat skills are a little inferior to Gatsov. Protects his mistress by any means, even if she does not like it herself. Before climbing into battle with the enemy, he tries to study his habits and hold a battle on a battlefield profitable for himself. Despite the above prefers not to attract attention.

The Supreme Inquisitor Mozgus has a good stone face All British Casino sister sites and so unbending faith that for him everything is God’s craft. But his « kindness » remains until he can see, what could be taken for sin. In this case, his face turns into porridge from tense muscles and then “sinners” do not get in his way, but it is better to run or commit suicide in advance. For he believes that in order to atone for sin, one must go through hellish pain and torture, which is why many villages after his visit are empty. Those who survived or did not fall under his “mercy”, as a result, set their goal to send him to God’s judgment. But usually these people suffer a fiasco, because of his “students”, freaks or patients with rare diseases, people turned into executioners and his bodyguards.

Prostitute girl with unique charisma. Probably the most adequate woman in the entire manga. Cares about everyone who needs her help, from prostitutes to completely unfamiliar patients with the madness of warriors.

And of course I simply could not forget about the knight-chaleep. Like Gats, this character wages his war with the forces of evil. Its background is shrouded in fog, but according to the assumptions of fans and from some sources, he is Emperor Geiserich, the ruler whose lands extended throughout the mainland. According to legend, the emperor’s favorite decoration was a helmet resembling a skull. Once, instead of killing one sage, His Highness locked him in the tower that stood on the Holy Land. From there, the « saint » called on four angels who destroyed the Heiserich Empire. The knight-cherep is hunting for the thumb of God, a warriors, it is incomprehensible so far as there are reasons, but if you take into account the above, you can approximately assume.

Among other characters, it is worth mentioning a demonic child, the ugly germ of Gats and the helmets of the shadows living in the world. This baby appears only a couple of times and tries to protect his parents from the strength of evil, in particular the helmet.

But the most interesting character is the main antagonist of the season. Let’s say, he is not quite an ordinary villain, more a desperate soul, and you really have a sob. It so happened that secondary characters were devoted more time than in the golden age. Let me remind you that there were only three main characters, and the members of the Sokolov gang played key roles only after Gryffit’s outdated. Here, secondary characters play a large role without displacing the main characters.

Here I am in a little bewilderment. As in the Golden Age trilogy, for some reason, the creators decided to combine two-dimensional and three-dimensional animation. If the two -dimensional looks good, even in places even, but terrible moments are also, then the three -dimensional is simply disgusting.

Although I confess the three-dimensional knight-cherepe looks great. Also, the setting of battles suffers from 3D. Sometimes it seems that I watch just some kind of unfinished preliminary version of anime.

Censorship reached complete absurdity. It’s hard for me to describe this therefore some screenshots will make work for me.

And that’s not all. Now one frame is approximately from the finals of the season.

Tell me something with my eyesight or this girl will now be crushed clones? I would understand if it were a game, but at least the modeling was a little repainted. Or take a hat from one model.

But not all moments in 3D look disgusting. In those places where mostly dialogs, everything is done pretty well.

Music:
Siro Sagisa, the composer of the trilogy in the Golden Age, again took up work on the soundtrack. This time he tried better, but he was far from Susum Hirasava again. From Khirasava himself, viewers will receive only 2 compositions, Hai Yo and Ash Crown, the latter can be heard only at the end of the season.

Atmosphere transmission:

The series copes with this no worse than the anime of 97. All the scenes important for the plot are saved. There are a couple of additional points that do not greatly affect the history. But I’m not sure that many people will get used to local animation.

I have some conflicting conclusions. On the one hand, the plot of Miura is very difficult to spoil and the anime saturation is quite close to the manga. On the other hand, it would be better if the series was made in a pure two -dimensional style, because, looking at 3D, you understand that technically it is not ready. I honestly got used to what is happening only after 3 episodes. Judging by what I read, in the Blu-Ray version of the series, some points will be redrawn and remove absurd censorship. But I have not seen this version yet, so I don’t know if this. You can understand why fans have thrown this creation with tomatoes. Instead of adaptation of cult manga, they received an unfinished product. But I hope that the output of the series hints at the fast end of the manga, which will turn 30 years old in 2 years, and in the new season there will be no more such three -dimensional animation.
