HypMic lost episode lol

Props to Okiayu-san for his rapping! Hearing veteran seiyuus rapping is so awesome to me lol

I really like the fact that they took the time of introducing Kabe's backstory, it makes him joining the team much more meaningful.

I like how Sekitoba just randomly showed up next to Eiko and commented on the battle


I don't think it was random. It felt a lot more like he was there as part of a contingency plan by Kongming that he wound up not needing. Think about it, Sekitoba has a vested interest in seeing Kabe return to the rap scene. Eiko sang a song from one of his albums so he would be predisposed to talking to her in the crowd. Kongming's challenge was an arrogant threat to the medium of freestyle to provoke him. Eiko doesn't know much about classical poetry so she'd be confused and as someone who does know about it, he'd be tempted to explain it which causes him to engage and thus stick around.

That sort of thing is what I love most about this show. Kongming isn't the best tactician because he has plot convenient knowledge. He's the best tactician because his plans have so many layers.

That was thrilling, each and every minute. And after this i can say for sure Kongming can give some real tough competition to any professional rapper lol. Anyways welcome to the party, Kabe.

AYYYOOOOO!!! Kabe's and Kongming's rap battle is so lit, that it set a fire to my eyes, my eyes are blinded by gold, and my ears are sold with gold!

There's nothing better than a proper rap battle to reignite Kabe's passion to further his career in rapping. Honestly not only is he obviously a master at freestyling, he got the tone and depth in his voice as well, it's no surprise he's the 3 time MVP.

All things considered, without Kongming's tireless intel gathering and undercover espionage tactic, this wouldn't have been possible. Eiko singing that particular song and giving the stomach medicine along with the beverage Kabe ordered were amongst the main pivotal keys to making this plan work, and work it did!

Everbody saying the rap battle was good either doesn't like or listen to Hip-Hop at all because seriously, that shit was dreadful. A show about music should have actual good music. That's all I'm saying. Weakest episode so far.

Yea, not really feeling Kabe; his reason for getting out just feels really flimsy to me and the reason for return feels incidental. I hope he adds something interesting to the crew or else the show will end up losing a lot of its built up good will.

Damn the "freestyle" rap part was well done. Probably the best i've seein in animes. Usually they flop.

That's why I love history so much, especially if we can relate it to our life now...Koumei vs Taijin, so it's like the veteran Zhao Yun vs Jiang Wei, hahaha...but I think it's more like the real Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, the Crouching Dragon and the Baby Phoenix, hahaha...watching this anime reminds me soo much about my childhood game, Dynasty Warriors...I love this...

Must be huge being able to brag that you defeated Kongming in a rap battle.

Kabe may have won the battle but we all know Kongming has won in our hearts.

Damn I love rap, and this episode was perfect!
I like to post in manga forum when I feel it is worth it, so people will think. "Shit, is her again" or something.

People asked me where I read certain thing but the rules say no telling where did you read so maybe I am too boring for not saying? Or salty because you didn't check my profile that says don't ask because I hate people to ghost me after that. I love learning languages so maybe I did not read the manga in English.

This show feels like such a guilty wholesome pleasure
Be thankful for those you have near who are dear

I can't believe this show is capable of spittin' bars. I've been enjoying the show so far, but I didn't expect a full rap battle. As a fan of Japanese hip hop, okay, I'm paying full attention now Paripi Koumei.

Well it was hard to go through this episode.. I don't like rap in my country and such rap battles in english was pain to read.. the only rap I like are some top songs from best known in the world rappers..
but I hope it will make the story better now

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

The flow of this Kongming v Kabe Taijin Round 1 was crazy, it gave me some 8 Mile vibes. The atmosphere and shots were very reminiscent.
In the end Kabe Taijin wins the second round and his stomach doesn't feel upset from the rap battle. Episode flipped the script and it was a good change.

I like songs with rap sections, especially japanese songs, but I've never liked rap fights, they are too cringe. Skipped the entire fight, excluding Kongming's poem, we all knew how it was going to end anyways.
Lame, I hope this Kabe dude doesn't ruin this show any more.
Sorry if my english is bad (ใฃห˜โ–ฝห˜)ใฃ~~~
Btw, cry about it.
