| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well Ragna is pissed. I think he better watch his back though since he does have a target on him now. Tsubaki has an interesting ability I guess. Poor Jin. He gets owned already earlier this season and now again. Dat reunion. I think she knows Noel. |
 |
| At last, Bang appears and the anime instantly just became better. |
| I'll write this as i watch the ep. since its kind of long ill spoiler it Overall, it was actually a good episode despite info dumping and expecting the viewer to know phreases and lines never explained. Of course the only reason i may have enjoyed this was cause i played the games and they actually explained things like the anime hasnt. However i still found actual enjoyment in this from a fans standpoint to see the world iv seen almost exclusively through still images and fighting backgrounds feel brought to life. Its the first episode that actually felt like what this anime was supposed to be from the start low 4/5 turanszkij said: Anything can become better once this theme playsAt last, Bang appears and the anime instantly just became better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8xQCE0Rggw Its the definition of justice heroism, and manliness packed into a 3 minute song Speaking of BB music, i wonder if we will ever hear the glory that is road to hope in the anime http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcflGXfuPeU |

| Bang !!! Yay!!! We can't have Jin dying so soon. |
| Well I guess this show did it's thing, it made me go out and get dem games. I see things much clearly now. As for the episode, it was nice, lol'd at Ragna's stairs scene, Bang beastly one-shotted Jin just like that. Dat reunion at the end tho. |

| Episode was quite enjoyable I guess. Bang's scar was too big in some moments but oh well... the duel between Ragna and Lambda was good, I hadn't expected more. There was also time for Platinum Ragna the lolicon-lover quote. Bang theme was awesome as always... Nothing else to say. Decent episode for this anime. As for the plot it's funny because in games it wasn't much better. I needed to play some routes several times and use the Internet to deal with it.. :p but it was me so you know...it just that the plot is quite complicated what is a good thing also |

ma_ko said: Not sure why you would need to do that, calamity trigger was kind of a clusterfuck but CS is about as straightforward as you can get, i guess ragna's story could get a little confusing just cause it collides with every other major character but everyone elses was contained and coherentAs for the plot it's funny because in games it wasn't much better.

| dafuk was that time travel/reset thing |
| At last Bang that I've always heard about make an appearance. He clearly is showy for a ninja. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Some very nice backgrounds like the Oriental town under the bridge and the rail station probably taken from the game The three fights ending in like a teaser were disappointing One withdrawal, other instant hit on wounded Jin and let alive to take care off by Bang (Which makes revenge pointless for the faction that killed off an entire country and citizens The dude just fight, because he can and preferable fair not as a bounty hunter) And the last one fast rewinding/forwarding to make the encounter never happen which was odd in the first place Like the time Noel was told to go away from Ragna to get an attack from a bounty hunter next |
ChronosXIII said: Oh hell no, we got a good chunk left, were more at the 45%-50% markHalfway through the anime and it seems like we're already almost 75% done with Continuum Shift ( I think?). |

| FINALLY, BANG IS HERE! From my friend's brief synopsis, he definitely sounded the coolest. I was promised all his clothes burning off though. Not enough naked bara this ep. I hope this Tsubaki chick skewers Noel and then the empty chairs don't accidentally sit on the rewind button again. God, she's irritating. Why are empty chairs having a meeting for anyway? What are they even doing together? Comparing their paint jobs, stroking each other's upholstery, and admiring the quality of their support-offering back rests? I miss Tao, too. I miss Tao a lot. I need more Tao. I'd like to have Bang go on a 6 episode adventure following this, carrying Tao on his back and taking Litchi along for large-breasted support. Mostly because I still have no fucking idea what is happening in this anime. |
| All I have to say is.. Being Jin is suffering. |
| 11:06 "I'll become a smile!" 15:47 KURISUTINA!!! Hmmm.... 6.5/10 for this ep. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| well, i was blown away by the background settings (despite knowing the game). Mori you're a genius. Of course, the quality could've been much better, but we know by now this show isn't going to work on that any time soon. But srsly, those backgrounds... If PA works had done it....... |

| Happy for bang being badass |
| the music was awesome as usual :D |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| I like this series but I kinda hate it. About the MC, he's cool but the story doesn't focus to him to much. And for me, even though he looks cool with his outfit and that sword.. for me he's not that powerful :/ And also, there are so many characters in this show that's why the MC is a little bit overshadowed. I'm more interested with Rachel :)) but wait, what the hell just happened? O.O Those three... they just change what happened. |
Zel_Ezl said: You would definetly not like how the games handle ragna, since blazblue is told through ever single playable character's viewpoint its kind of hard to tell that ragna is the mc sometimes. One of the game's stories biggest strengths is that every character aside form bang feels important to the overall plot of the series. But this does mean ragna gets a bit overshadowed.I like this series but I kinda hate it. About the MC, he's cool but the story doesn't focus to him to much. And for me, even though he looks cool with his outfit and that sword.. for me he's not that powerful :/ Though as for the weak problem, thats something this anime fucked up, hes powerful as shit in the game and you can tell, all his moves in this anime were so half asses he seems like a pushover. Granted that isnt ragna in this anime, hes a crude attempt to adapt his character and ended up making him act like jin, his polar opposite, more than he does ragna. granted almost every character in this anime is not handled well at all. |

| For a moment there, I thought this show was already going through the curse of "video games turning into anime." (Because, you know. Blazblue is a visual novel thinking it's a fighting game.) I don't mind the QUA- *ahem* I mean, piss poor animation. But hey. Three things they did right: 1: They introduced GangBang Liongod; and they introduced him like a BOSS instead of as some "lovesick Narutard." 2: They brought back Jin. (I thought they never would.) And then they tried to feature him as a character who's more complex than a "yandere with a brother complex." 3: They SAVED him. They "reverse dat tape" and made sure he avoided getting stabbed by Sue Baki and her "The Izayoi." ("It's not romantic," said Rachel. YOUR DAD, ALUCARD, IS NOT ROMANTIC. I can't wait to buy the localized Blazblue Chronophan just so I can have Terumi curb-stomp your pompous ass.) Well whatever. I don't care who's "saving animu." I just wanna enjoy something that's (in MY opinion) worth watching. |
 |
| Well, I didn't like it. Too many characters that are all uninteresting. No good dialogue. |
 |
| I don't remember Bang's eyes being so big and adorable in the game images. Why they do this |
 |
| For minute there I thought Jin was gone!!! Thank you rewind, poor Jin !!! Ragna looks too pissed off The battles were awesome |

| Ok, finally dropping this. I don't rate dropped shows but needless to say it would get a low score. |

It's just not good. No point to keep watching for the sake of finishing it. Edit: and <6 can be anything from 1-5. How would that be a passing score bud....unless 5/10 (best case scenario) is a passing score to you. |

| I thought the time rewind and manipulation of the events was a bit strange and interesting at the same time. I still don't understand who those three beings in the the chairs are. Are they gods or something? Also confused about who exactly is Rachel as well as Terumi. |

| Not much action in this episode, but I enjoyed it. That Bang guy was a good guy. Tsubaki meets Noel Valaskjalf said: dafuk was that time travel/reset thing I also doesn't understand what happen, can someone explain? |
| I find myself caring less and less.. Guess it's time to drop it if I ain't gonna play the game and ain't going to get an explanation for all the shits from the adaption. |

| Jin has been literally useless. He is a main character... so hopefully this changes. It finally give some background a bit more on the NOL... although non gamer watchers are really still kept in the dark and we are just made to assume that it actually happen. Anyways, more info dump and mysterious beings are introduced, especially with the beings of the three chairs, they just rewinded the time! How they can twist fate. I have seen half of it already, and I guess I'll stick through it til the end, still waiting if Hazama will bring some entertainment. |

| Must suck to be Jin, you get better slightly and then Bang shows up and knocks him out. Recovers again then Tsubaki shows up and runs him threw with her sword. |
My Candies:     |
| 4/5 Still hard to digest the plot, being a meatloaf made of obscure ingredients and heterogeneous narrative almost flat, you save in the end. Maybe you could do something, even if it is terrifying! Drawings passable, fighting enough, better than the previous episode, but not enough. |
 |
| Wow, she killed him. Killed. Then there was a reverse in time? Will Tsubaki kill Noel? What's goijng to happen?! Getting better that the previous episode. Still don't know what's really happening tough. |
