So far almost all the screen time has been spent with our main quartet, Laios, Chilchuck, Marcille and Senshi.
We met some orcs, and Kabru’s party has had two short minisodes. Farlin has also been around in flashbacks. But aside from that, the cast is still quite small.
The OP teases that the eventual character count will rise well past two dozen, but I though it might be fun to facilitate some discussions based on what we’ve seen of the main group so far, before the next episode introduces several more significant members of the cast.
Gotta be Senshi, for me. I’m already a fan of the dwarf aesthetic, but he’s also really knowledgeable and wise. I like how he appreciates a simpler life and seems to believe in keeping a balance. It’s not what you’d expect from the classic Tolkien dwarves or even most modern depictions where they tend to be overly industrious, and I think that subversion of expectations makes him that much more likable. I also like chef characters
The female character that used to be in Laios party, and who commented “what idiot would cook here” at the end of the last episode is also a dwarf.
When they meet in tomorrow’s episode, we’ll learn a lot more about what a “typical” dwarf is from her reaction to meeting Senshi.
If you didn’t see his character sheet that I posted earlier, go check it out. Also, his helmet belonged to Gillin, a fellow dwarf who took him in after Senshi lost both his parents. Senshi is the sole remaining survivor of Gillins group.
I love how expressive his deadpan eyes can be, and the way they go narrow sometimes, is gold.
Nice. I’ll have to check it out. I’m still a couple episodes behind and I am completely unfamiliar with the manga, but I’m sure I know the character you mean just based on the intro/outro
She’s in the fight against the dragon in episode one, as well.
I look forward to seeing you in the episode discussions if you catch up!
