Although people outside of Korea can’t watch it, I’ll gather information&rumours on it as they come.
[During the opening]
[Video by 지엔K]
[Before Start]
[People lining up hours beforehand (Only 180 seats per screening, 1 screening per hour, 5 times) ]
[Theatre was located near Elsword#(Elsword Merchandise shop) so people could buy Elsword goods & watch anime at the same time. ($_$)
Umbrella, Notebook, Artbook, Add figure, Voicewebtoon comic book, Hoodie, Tshirt, Cushion(Lu, Eve), Plushie(Phoru,Hedgehog)..etc]
[How thick the artbook is]
[Someone posted picture of trios as they waited]
….Quad
[Art book photos people uploaded]
[Voice Webtoon Book side story Images]
[Tickets]
[Pictures from the anime people took]
Rumours/Info:
-Huge turnout. Many people that went are saying they didn’t expect so many people.
-People had to wait for hours to get tickets or purchase merch from Elsword# continued for hours. (Someone posted line is around 2 hours long)
-Staff must have not expected such large turnout. There were complaints that staff couldn’t manage the lines properly.
–Ain Secret Video: From original version of anime, Elsword almost gets killed by a mob but Oberon saves him. But in secret vid, Ain saves him in that scene instead. (No one remembers about Ain, only Elsword has vague hints of him )
–Ain’s setting: Ain cannot exist without Elsword
Ain has two separate memories of him existing and not existing.
In the next scene, Ain falls into the danger of his existence being terminated due to no one remembering him. But he barely manages to maintain his existence because Elsword vaguely remembers him by saying “Wasn’t there someone else?”.
-From Q/A: What kind of character is Ain?
Director : Ain has a unique system called ‘Authority System’. He will be a character for more advanced players and will be able to handle both close and long range combat by alternating between ‘Cycle Mode’ and ‘Creation Mode’ depending on circumstances. I think he will be a unique character that can deal with both close and long ranges. All of his classes are planned to be revealed along with the release update. (2na: Dunno if this means all 1st jobs or up to all 2nd jobs)
-Overall impressions about the anime was positive.
-Good art, but lacking plot.
-Most people did not like Rena’s voice.(Her VA is still same)
-Aisha’s VA is different (Jung Hye-won: Harnier’s VA)
-Victor appears in episode 1
-Bobosse appears in episode 1
-Lu&Ciel not in episode 1(But are in ending, seems to be base)
-No Rose
-Artbook was sold out on this day(Merch Store itself runs until January 9th)
-Voice webtoon book contained Lu&Ciel’s Teatime, Quantum Leap and 15 Extra smaller side stories.
–However voice webtoon book is being criticized for showing too much favouritism. If LuCiel and Add having their own full sized cartoons(Teatime&Quantum Leap) wasn’t enough, even 10/15 side stories are about either LuCiel or Add.
-Monsters exploding upon death applies to all monsters
-Some people shed tears during opening
-Someone went to watch with their mom
How many months minutes was episode 1?
-Aisha’s voice actor is different
Even the voice actors are quitting Elsword you guys! It’s only a matter of time before the characters themselves do~.
…..
Please? Please Aisha? Quit Elsword for Closers so I can have you back in my life?
Dear god, Endgame, shut up already. If all you’re going to do is complain about every little thing, just leave and don’t come back.
^
Can you do anything other than complain about my complaining? It’s all I ever see your name associated with.
Um, who is the original VA for Aisha? Good chance that the VA was ill or may no longer be with us. Another thing to consider is the management may have replaced the VA and not the VA leaving the company.
In any case, it’s sad to not have the originals playing the roles.
And why would you bother posting in something that obviously you dislike so much?
They just got her to do the Elysion ending cutscene, so who knows what the hell happened?
What the hell are you doing in a game you hate so much? Just leave already. You don’t deserve to be taken seriously.
And anyone should take a worthless KOG bootlicker like you seriously? lol
I think he’s missing the point…….. Endgame it’s more of a “for once people just wanna talk about something that was cool and you’re just ranting as usal.jpeg” I’m not saying you never have reasoning but maybe know there are times when people won’t want to hear it…..
All I ever see your name associated with is declarations of Elsword ending, hate for even the smallest updates, and constantly whining about anything that isn’t Aisha. Oh, and constant claims that Elesis should be deleted, that clearly no one likes Ain (to which you didn’t respond to my shutting you down in that if no one cared about him, why would there be such positive reception about him) and that the game being ranked #49 (aka, still in the top fifty) is a death sentence.
If you hate everything about the game, why would it matter to you what happens to it, and why would you feel compelled to have to claim this and that at every opportunity? Or is your ego so inflated that you just want to claim the game is dying at every update so whenever the game does indeed end, you can pretend you were “right”? You never have a proper argument for your claims other that “KoG has Closers and they had shut down other games” whenever anyone calls you out on the holes in your logic.
Wow, they got a different voice actor for Aisha, obviously everything is ruined because your waifu sounds a little different! …really, do you ever bother to read what you say? Did it ever occur to you that, oh, she might be occupied with something else, or circumstance outside her control meant she couldn’t reprise her role? Or are you one of those purists who can’t accept a small change like that–oh, right, look who I’m talking to, the guy who complains every time balance patches don’t buff Aisha to pre-nerf Add levels.
Internet autism sure is something, huh.
Don’t take endgame serious, he’s just a sore loser on internet. He’s just an attention whore at this point.
To Endgame or should I say “CryBabyGame”
Get a life.
Where is that ranking btw ?
Well, Endgame’s pessimistic is to balance out with blind fanboys’ too optimistic, so I could not care less about one more ppl to troll blind NA in KR updates or KR fanpages.
If you hate the game just don’t play it
Yeah Endgame gtfo.
I am going to give you a response as eloquent, well thought out, and respectful as you deserve.
*Ahem*
no u
Actually endgame rant is a tradition here, most of use dont mind him anymore
I am not mere tradition.
I am the lifeblood of this comment section~.
a lifeblood to yourself, anywho!
Surprised there were that many fangirls or maybe it was the singer of the opening. It’s sad that NA gets shafted when it comes to merchandise.
Guys, what would you expect from a guy who used to post stuff about Aisha’s kitty panties back in the day?
Well, if Aisha’s kitty panties are the basis of what I would expect, I would say quality~.
Believe in the kitty panties.
Endgame is like the tsundere who’s all “YOU FUCKING IDIOT I’M GONNA KILL YOU” in school but she secretly wants to suck your dick
That’s his relationship with this game
Wrong. I’m the yandere.
Throwing Ara underneath the Elesis hype train is when KOG picked another girl.
And now I want to see everything go up in flames~.
Yeah, you are right, he even replies most people here.
……..how enthusiastic LOL
Will they open an online shop so I can buy that artbook? :”)
I NEED THAT BOOK IN MY LIFE
WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE ALL DO Q_Q -how much does it cost tho <..>-
according to some sources it costs 40000won
Seriously I really need that art book. I’m kinda mad when this became sold out already. How long do we have more stocks of this book?
lots of good merchandise x.x
“–Ain’s setting: Ain cannot exist without Elsword”
WAIT WHAT?!
Probably a descendant from the future. My shounen anime plot senses went off.
Elbrat manages to reproduce?
That’s….. a depressing thought.
Nah. Ain can’t be from the future. Elsword is the Guardian of El. Ain is assigned to recover the El or something from the gods. They’re connected in a way. Plus Ain was there when El exploded and was consequently sent to Henir where he lost his powers. That was before Els was born.
Ain is Glaive HOLY SHIET
The audio recording of the even doesn’t work BTW.
Probably not working because of all that screaming! LOL…eh come on, you saw the video right?! XD
Kinda scared on what i’m going to hear, then again i don’t know korean so all i would here is screaming…maybe a summary of what was said would be best 2na! :P
I legitimately wish I was there, and I wish I could take as many people as I could with me. Or just smuggle them. Their opinion doesn’t really matter, right? <__>
I hope they open an online store…
I really want the Addroid and Art Book! >w<"
from the video…. fangirls shout….
Add
Raven
Chung
Ciel
damn Ain… in the beginning is already sad… everyone but elsword is forget about him…
Oh, I thought people were screaming for the female characters, Rena, Eve, Ara, Lu (rip Aisha)
Most of us Aisha fans quit Elsword because we have higher standards. Duh.
Why would our Korean brothers and sisters attend a showing of an anime adaption that isn’t drawing her as cute as she should be, based off of a game that’s turned to utter shit? Come on now.
I hope we get better images of the art book. It seems to hold many interesting prototypes of the characters/jobs I would like to see better! And the anime seems nice to me, for now
Does anyone know if could see online someday?
(Sorry for my bad english)
are we sure that add isn’t a half demon like ciel? them pointy ears
Add seems to be part Nasod, though not to the same extent Raven is. His eyes at least seem to be augmented with Nasod tech, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he communicates with his dynamos through other augmentations.
Something similar to KHR?
Actually that’s all explained in Add’s webcomic…
So….. any chance of those side stories being translated in the future o-o?
Where can we see this episode? No one has even asked that question yet? Are you guys ignoring the picture here?
If you wanna see the anime, just like find a VPN in Korea(there is software I use that allows this and it changes your server to that of Korea’s) then just look up the anime and I gurantee you, it would be on one of those sites.
i dont really care about the anime all i can say say is I HATE THE PEOPLE WHO BUY THOSE WONDERFUL GOODIES IN THAT EVENT !!!! i have the money but cannot buy those thing especially the artbook you dont know when a good game ends
damn you lucky bastard once again ill say this i hate u
WE WANT TO SEE THE ANIME!
So now that we have an official anime, will this mean I will finally be able to find better quality hentai for elsword
?
I’d advise against that.
The hentai community is mostly dependent on Japanese sites. And Japan…..
…..
Let’s just say you’re going to have to trudge through a lot of erotic images of Lu….. and not the actually pretty hot Altar of Evil Lu.
Is there any chance we will be able to see the anime on the normal anime streaming pages? Like crunchyroll, funimation, kissanime, 9anime.to?
I’m sure eventually 2nafish will get ahold of it, sub it, then one of those sites will rehost it.
Failing that, the Japanese dub will definitely get subbed.
“Ain cannot exist without Elsword”
Are…are they actually gonna do the thing that some people think they’re gonna do? Make him future Elsword but before he became Glave? cause if so, then this sounds just as bad as my fanfic about Luto secretly being a Keyblade Master that i’m too lazy to actually write.
Shh! Don’t give them ideas!
Frankly I doubt it, KoG so far has been rolling with copying traits from other famous character from other sources.
Example Add is really similar to Accelerator from to aru majutsu
Luciel is really similar to Shinobu and araragi from monogatari series (she evens transform into adult form and has the same voice for jap server)
And from this if his forgotten Ain will disappear, hints that KoG is making this charac background similar to Yato from Noragami. Perhaps his huge self stem comes from yato to.
Soo, does anyone know where we can watch the first episode or do we have to wait a bit? o.o
It’ll be uploaded somewhere eventually. Nexon has the footage of the Closers event livestream that contains the first episode up on their official channel. So I doubt they’ll be too intent on trying to take it down when it does.
Now, the real question is if anyone’s going to give enough fucks for the Arpiel anime to show up somewhere.
Ain cannot exist without Elsword because he is the only one vaguely remembering him?
Isn’t there already someone who can only exist by being remembered?
Freddy Krueger reborn right there.
Just a mini theory but wouldn’t the reason Ain can’t exist without Elsword be because Elsword has the closest connection to El of the El Search Party? They’ve already referenced this after the fight with Perrihart (Solace). I don’t know just a small idea.
Hello 2nafish-san, I’d like to thank you for all the hard work you’ve been doing lately. Also, I was wondering if you were going to post the elsword anime ending considering you’ve done the opening? Thank you
