Ok episode, good as a standalone with great sound tracks that help convey character emotions. I especially liked the music when Griffith and Guts have a talk. Griffith seems like a really essential part of the story in the future.

The world slowly takes shape as more characters in different settings are introduced. Hopeful and new beginning vibes, with charismatic characters joining the lineup. There are already undertones of tension between the mercenary as well

Episode Context

After episode 1 established Guts as the vengeful Black Swordsman in the present timeline, episode 2 rewinds to his origins, launching the Golden Age Arc that comprises the bulk of the 25-episode series. This is where viewers meet Griffith, Casca, and the Band of the Hawk for the first time, setting every major relationship and conflict into motion. The groundwork laid here, Guts' isolation, Griffith's ambition, the group's battlefield brotherhood, becomes the emotional backbone for everything that follows.
