Since this anime is reaching its end, I thought that it was about time to create a thread for this series, which in my eyes is one of the most under-appreciated animes of this season.
 
Synopsis

 
When the Majin awakes from the depths of darkness, the deity of fate selects six heroes and bequeaths them with the power to save the world. Adlet, a boy who proclaims himself the strongest man in the world, has been selected among "The Heroes of the Six Flowers". However, as the heroes gather, they soon begin to suspect that someone amongst them is an imposter.

From Left to Right: Mora Chester, Chamo Rosso, Goldof Auora, Nashetania Piena, Adlet Mayer, Fremy Speeddraw, Hans Humpty

 

Trailer

 

Now, if you are possibly thinking something along these lines: Ugh, another MMO-like, Sword-Art-Online wannabe anime with skimpy-looking characters that gather together to save humanity. Then let me just tell you this: You are so wrong. This anime is surprisingly mostly dialogue-driven, underscored with superb voice-acting talents, in particular Aoi Yuuki (Fremy Speeddraw) who in the past has lend her voice to Madoka from Puella Magi Madoka. As the directors were also the ones who directed the acclaimed Spice & Wolf, it should come as no surprise that the dialogues b/w the characters are fairly engaging. In addition to this, the pacing for this anime is pretty much on point and doesnt feel rushed at all as it is taking its time to adapt an entire light novel in 12 episodes. Nowadays, lightnovels do not receive this treatment. As a result they end up in a clunkily, badly paced manner. My only gribe with this Rokka is the animation. Its bad at certain points, mainly b/c Studio Passione is a young studio that has only animated three other animes, I believe, so far. Anyways, I hope you'll give this anime a try b/c its really good and one of my favorites of this season.
 
And if you are watching this anime, who do you think the imposter is? Vote on the poll. My vote goes to Nashetania.

Not all caught up on this, but I'm genuinely surprised at how much I enjoy it. I really didn't have any great expectations, but it's actually been very engaging. I really have no idea who the Seventh could be. :argh:

Same here. My expectations for this show were pretty low, but nope, I was wrong. What episode are you on.

Ahh, I think episode 8 was one of my favorites. Quite the touching dialogue that was going on b/w Adlet and Fremy. And yes, I ship those two :3

Too bad the whole cour is just the puzzle room. From what I've heard, the LN is pretty good so if you're into it you should give it a try.

While I did vote on Maura, a nagging feeling was telling me that the 7th was Nachetanya. My only basis was Nachetanya's ending song "Dance in the Fake" just the title alone should've been a dead give-away. Adlet's confession was honestly bland, but Flamie's reaction gave it a more realistic flair.

When it comes to Adlet's confession, I was just like: That came out of no where, lol. Love at first sight is unpredictable, but you'd show at least more obvious signs.

Flamie's reaction was really touching though, especially thx to her voice actress.

I knew I'd heard Fremy/Flamie's VA somewhere before, she voiced Victorique in Gosick. It was driving me nuts that I couldn't remember, lol.

 

Also I noticed that most people seem to be leaning towards Nachetanya as the Seventh, I'm kind of fifty-fifty there. I think there's definitely a chance it's her, but I have a feeling her ending song might be a mislead.

Speaking about ending song: The third ending song "Nameless Heart" about Flamie (how the heck do you spell it?) is actually sung by Flamie's voice actress herself. It's a pretty beautiful song, and the singer has a really clear voice.

Dance in the Fake was also sung by Nachetanya.

I'm not sure if I hate Mora or Nachetanya more tbh. Both of them were just unbelievably crazy in this episode...

Adlet though!!!!!!!!!!!! You seldomly see a main character with intelligence and deductive reasoning.

 

Next week, we'll find out who the seventh is!!!!

I haven't really liked Nachetanya from the beginning. Something about the character rubs me the wrong way.
