this chapter was awesome because
Spoiler show
seriously, its been ages now
so finally guts and company reach elfhelm island although i must admit its not how i had pictured the island.
i had imagined this huge island swarming with wizards and elfs but this seems to be pretty much in ruins although the inhabitants of the island must have kept this illusion in order to ward off uninvited guests.
next chapter should be full of information and stuff. i am rather surprised (and happy) that the pirates fight ended this soon i was thinking it would take the end of this chapter but i am glad that miura finished it off and moved quickly to the island
Elfhelm? I wouldn't be so sure.Quote:

When Elfhelm does eventually make its entrance, I expect Miura will give it the same grandiose treatment he gave Falconia (and given its importance, I'd be disappointed with anything less).
Well first off, I'm guessing Elfhelm isn't an Island itself, since it's been stated it's on the Island of Skellig. So they could have landed on Skellig, but have a hike before even reaching Elfhelm.Quote:

Fair point—I hope you're right, actually. However, is Skellig itself not deserving of a grand entrance, as opposed to the rather understated one it (may have) received in this episode?Quote:

I just have a hard time believing this dull, little hamlet could be part of such a place, and that we'd receive such a low-key introduction to the island itself.
The mother of all incubi... maybe?Quote:

I can see what you're getting at, but still, would the characters themselves not gaze and gasp in amazement upon seeing the island of Skellig on the horizon? You know, something like...Quote:

It's not just the village itself, but the way in which Miura presented the whole thing pre-landing—it was... kind of undramatic, don't you think?
Hell, I hope not. It wouldn't bode well for Elfhelm if mythical creatures, crazed by the astral wave, had decimated the coastal towns of Skellig. Besides, I didn't see any destroyed buildings or such in this episode... I guess we'll know the situation for sure when EG release in a couple of days.Quote:

Like it's an island where the people are forced to serve a demon/monster etc. When guts and co kill it/them they go to elfheim.
Well with my pitiful translation skills I've deduced that it might be a "sea-god apostle." Both Gattsu and sheirke sense something strange when they reach the island, and the girl who talks to isidro says something about a "sea-god."Quote:
