| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn Mika, shut the hell up! |
 |
| Yes, a bit more of action. But... Exactly how did Tokioka die? |
| Man, Mika is one of the most annoying characters ever. All she does is cry instead of trying to step up and do something. She's had how many people die on her? At some point you draw the line and say, "I have to do something to stop this, even if I can't". |
| There's a distinct lack of a sense of struggle when Brandon is fighting Millennion. I think I'll be downgrading my rating of it now. |
 |
| Yeah , Mika is a bit annoying. Hell , i hope she stops saying 'moma , papa'. Anywayz , i'm suprised , there was some great action this episode. |
| That was weird |
| Haha, I know what you all mean about Mika. She's kinda like Raki from Claymore. All they really do is cry (but at least Raki carried a sword). |
| Lee had a point when he told Mika that he held no respect for a man who came back from the dead to protect the child of the woman he loved; a child that could and should have been his. Letting a pensioner have your woman and being swayed by his hypocritical sense of justice takes away a good few respect points. The Bob and Lee boss battle sections of the series are the weakest parts, alongside the Blood War bit that took away from the otherwise The Godfather-esque rise and fall gangster backstory. Bob was always hard to take seriously and underveloped, and Lee's angry reaction to the death of a fatty - after he'd been shown slaughtering innocent people for fun - didn't sit well with me. |
| I really don't like the Superior's at all. They just look too over the top if you asked. I wish the creators would have stayed with humanoid shapes. Slowly but surely Brandon is getting closer to Harry. It was a shame to see his old buddies from the gambling den die. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Damn, poor doctor.. Oh well, that fight was okay I guess but I also didn't like that Superior. Too egoistic and that ultimately caused him to fall. |
 |
| Oh my God, Lee with his screaming and laughing, he was so annoying. Thank you Brandon for shutting him the hell up. |
 |
| This sure was quite a nice episode packed with action! The end is in sight though so let's see what's next! |
 |
| this was the only episode of the series i didnt like, the first half was fine but the fight was a bit too underwhelming |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
Shaduge said: what's up with that happy soundtrack during the doctor's death. That's exactly what I was thinking. It's like one of those soundtracks you hear on the special beach episodes, except it was playing while showing a corpse lol |
| This episode was pretty ok, maybe its the fact that lee and bobs friendship was never really at the forefront enough to justify lee's extreme almost cartoonish anger towards Brandon, but then again thirteen years did pass so you never know, well lets at least hope this series ends strongly. |
| And Lee is gone! Just 2 missing now... |

| My god Mika you are beyond annoying now. You naive idiot wake up and look at what is going on around you. |
 |
| Superiors are invincible! Until invincible normal nexhrolyzed Brandon shoots them with anti-superior bullets and they melt. Why didn't the doc send the bullets with Brandon in the first place? Cause it wouldn't of been cool that way. Why does Brandon have super guns that no one else has? Cause he's gotta be cool. If this anime wasn't a video game adaptation it'd be so much better. The 2nd half has lost everything the first did well and has completely turned into a nonsensical rule of cool action fest. Not awful as it is now but it's definitely a big drop in quality. Now practically everyone who was carefully characterized so we care about them have little role in the story, were desecrated and turned into a 1D evil boy, or is dead. Mika is boring, Grave is a boring invincible action man running on the idea of protection(which is cool in itself but it's not enough), the Doctor was alright and probably the best current character, and the league of evil is either hardly in it, or a 1D evil shell of their former self. I probably won't post again until episode 26. |
| Yep, totally Resident Evil. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Man, that Superior fight was superior at being lame. Lee had a million chances to slice and dice Grave. And it's not even that he's grandstanding or giving a monologue, he's just fucking standing there watching Mika and Grave get away. Characters like Mika usually annoy the hell out of me but it doesn't really seem out of place to me. Regardless of how she looks, she's barely 13 years old and grew up in a safe and loving home. So I'm not exactly expecting her to be a stoic badass (At least not yet. It'd be cool if she took over Millennion towards the end though) |
| At least the discount Bruce Lee has been defeated.. but RIP to the doctor, only 10 days left for Brandon now |
 |
| Lee's spider form is crazy. I guess one of his spinning blades hit Tokioka. It's a real shame, since Tokioka was responsible for maintaining Grave. I wonder if Grave can still live a long (undead) life without him. Lee had a point when he told Mika that he held no respect for a man who came back from the dead to protect the child of the woman he loved; a child that could and should have been his. Letting a pensioner have your woman and being swayed by his hypocritical sense of justice takes away a good few respect points. No kidding. The main reason Brandon joined Millennion was to see Maria, not because he thought this murderous criminal organisation had some righteous purpose behind it, which it never had. In fact, thinking Millenion was cool was Harry's reason for joining them. Millennion may have been slightly less ruthless before Harry's coup, but it was never about "protecting people"; it was about extorting and blackmailing people to benefit members of the mafia. Not only did Brandon barely get to see Maria thanks to Big Daddy disallowing him from visiting her outside of their estate, but Big Daddy used the opportunity to take her from Brandon too. |

| @gfsdfgsdgsdfgs I think we just saw Tokioka inventing the anti-superior chemichals in this very episode, probably based on the anti-necro ones Bunji used. |
| Just when it seems like he's gonna wear the hat this time, he loses it again. Damn you, Madhouse. Koyasu is always fun as villains. |
