Everyone fights though Palladium against their own obstacles.

Disclaimer: I don’t feel like pretending I don’t know what is going to happen, and writing a section without spoilers and then one with them, as I’ve played the game. This post will contain massive spoilers to the whole plot. If you don’t want to be spoiled, then don’t read on. I won’t spoil anything simply for the sake of spoiling it, no needless spoilers, but they will be there. Final warning.

I really did like this episode. In some ways, this was one of my favorite episodes of the series. Not really because of the content, I still think Taliesin learning Arawn’s past and so on was more important. However as I said before, this whole Palladium thing is very different from the game. IN the game everyone stuck together and just fought through generic enemies. There was no getting split up, no dealing with the Cauldron of Resurrection, no Dwrc, nothing. This is by far my favorite thing about the anime that is different from the game. It’s really the only time I felt a change was good. In the game it was quite boring having the end be as lackluster as it was. However here things got pretty exciting and seeing it for the first time was really a lot of fun.

It looks like now; everything will just follow the game again. Everyone has met up and they face off against the angel who is behind all of this. Which isn’t bad. As I’ve pretty much said before, I much prefer it when it follows the game; the last two episodes have been the only exception. I thought the ending to the game was rather good so I don’t really want them to change anything about it. I just hope they don’t screw anything up.
