Epesode 2 was, again, about what I expected as far as excitement goes.
The whole school for fighting thing always struck me as I dumb idea because the only way it works is if it's under-regulated beyond reason. Like, you wouldn't have a school like this unless you could reasonably insure that nothing would happen to endanger the students. However, we all know that the students are going to have to be put in danger for this story to be interesting. On the other hand, it does seem that these people are college age, which is awesome, so if it can make me believe that then it should all be good since getting into danger is something you can reasonably when in college.
Also, ewww, this world has classical elements. It's just such a dated idea to comprise your world of fire, water, wind, and whatever else you want. These things just don't equate when you really think about them.
I liked our new male character. I like his attitude, he seems humble and cautious. That's important because he's in the opening, so he'll probably get developed, which means he'll probably get some power and then not be an idiot about it. Also, the sword and shield is refreshingly simple in comparison to all the other weapons we've seen so far so I can't wait to see where that goes.
Blake seems fun too. I kinda hope that she turns out to be this humanitarian who's constantly trying to protect people's rights by buying free trade crystals or something. I'd be interesting.
