| Ahahahaha...ahaha..haha..ha... *while popping bubble wrap* That's about it. The PM's always been fishy so I'm hardly surprised with this development. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| America's greatest hero... is a care bare. And how they managed to do that scene without making a gurren lagann reference, I will never know. |

| This show is so ridiculous and unpredictable, it's so damn fun to watch for me :D |
| Got some Tiger & Bunny vibes from this episode. Note to self: Hum the Star-Spangled Banner whenever you need to calm yourself. Also, I need a gif of that Mister Justice home run immediately. |
| That is what I was waiting from this show! Danm, what a great plot twist, if they manage to build up a solid plot using this episode potential, this is going to be amazing :D |
 |
| I need to know what Mari yelled at Moe. Just so I know how much I need to despise Mari. On a positive to that, the Moe/Mizuki train is FULL STEAM AHEAD now. Also, regarding the Prime Minister plot twist, it's getting awfully Metal Gear Rising up in here, and I love it. |
| This twist is more entertaining than the last ones we've gotten |
| This is the first ep in a couple of weeks since the shift that I have laughed at, when he started singing the national anthem it got me.. I don't really think it was that big of a plot twist since this being some Hollywood setup has been a theory out there for a while and I think the way they dragged it out and executed it wasn't that great..i Like the govtment being behind it and this ep was pretty good but the eps before it really fell flat on comedy and action and it seemed like some poor power ranger knock off.. I wish they would've taken it a little bit more serious and foreshadowed it a bit more. |

| What's the point of that Beyond Flamenco being the exact look alike of Hazama?.. heck what's the point of him appearing and committing suicide minutes after his appearance?. okay that drilling scene reminded me of TTGL hahaha that guy humming the national anthem of America was funny as hell so they will put politics in this... we'll see how it will go |

I bet you trust your government and believe everything you see on the news too. |
 |
| This was a very great episode, I'm glad I stuck with this anime, everyone here is really desperate and probably dropped it by episode 7. But their loss anyway. |
 |
| Another unexpected plot-twist. This show has me on edge. I hope that Masayoshi is not captured, amazing episode! |

Yeah, there was some foreshadowing implying that the Prime Minister was up to something fishy, but that he had superpowers and was working with From Beyond? Besides, what does this have to do with my trust in the government? Or lack thereof, contrary to your assumption. |

| NOOO not the Flamengers!!!! Flamen Blue NOOOOO!!! Prime Minister was behind everything from the beginning. If the series end with Masayoshi and Goto fighting each other to the death. I will cry T_____T |
| Oh damn. I don't know what to say. Sent with Mal Updater |

I'm not sure you paid any attention this episode LOL they were MADE UP, the same happened with mister justice. During wartime he was made to fight monsters and such, which happened to be fake, in order to distract the people from real issues. It's kind of funny, because this is VERY similar to whats happening with viewers of the show. All the ridiculous sentai stuff was what caught everyone's attention, so much so that sometimes they missed pretty obvious foreshadowing along with the underlying themes of the show...hahahaha |

haganbmj said: It's like their trying to salvage the Alien plot by dragging film producers into it and making it a government scheme. Still doesn't explain the massive leap in technology though. Mister Justice was pretty hilarious, hope he has a few more lines in this show. The idea that the government hides all this high tech stuff (with potential for destruction) from the public is not new. But yeah, mister justice is probably my favorite singer :P |
| At episode 14, I thought "this show can't get worse". But BAM! Episode 15 was actually worse! Now I think it can't get worse than this. |

| I have to say... for an American, Mister Justice has flawless Engrish. jimjameswhatever said: Hmmm, I don't know why you guys are trying to say that there was foreshadowing for anything... it's like you're under the impression that the series is automatically bad if there's no foreshadowing for things. I'm pretty sure there wasn't any foreshadowing that in episode 7 the series would randomly get gruesome and have illogical Guillotine/Gorilla humanoids chopping cops' heads off. I'd say 90% of this show's appeal is in its randomness and almost mocking attitude, if it had all the foreshadowing you guys seem think it has to have I'd say this show would be pretty shitty.Saeedpoppa said: working with?

Also, From Beyond may or may not actually be from space, but I'm confident that it wasn't "made up" or "fake"... whether they were who they appeared the fact is they were out there slaughtering people and wreaking havoc, and almost destroyed Tokyo. Not to mention, all that technology and weird humanoids was too impressive to just be a bunch of gimmicks in my opinion. Then there's also the Masayoshi clone. And the crater impact on Flamen Blue... |

| lol the rating is just getting lower and lower. The twist in this episode actaully explains alot of the illogical things that happened in the older episodes, to bad no one is taking the show serious at this point. |
| "The entire ordeal was a sham, a fictional storyline, with Hazama Masayoshi at its center." Yep that seals the deal, this series isn't coming back to planet Earth. At least Mister Justice was amusing and SF can still throw in interesting ideas to ponder, albeit it's still a sack of shit. |
 |
| This show has turned to such shit. |

I meant fake as in it wasn't what it seemed to be. But you're right, good point about that. You're right though, in the earlier episodes, there wasn't any foreshadowing as far I can tell about what would happen later. But c'mon there were plenty of clues that hinted you couldn't take these the situation to be serious, even in the context of the show. Similar to what evil-flamenco said, none of this makes sense, although in different ways. Like what was the deal with jouji and the PM hiding a gigantic flamenco base and whatnot when king torture was still around, but magically happen to have one ready when KT died? And given that we now know that the PM was behind From Beyond, it all pretty much comes together...remember the From Beyond introduction video that was hacked onto the television networks? Remember how campy and cheesy they were? Well now we have any idea why. Oh and to those who watch kill la kill |

| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| So the twin is nothing more but a plot device. *sigh* Well, if you can foresee what could happen next, then what you're watching is not Samurai Flamenco. And I hope this isn't just a dream. Too much plot progression to be just a dream. |
| And now from Sentai, we have American Superheroes. I didn't know what they would plan on doing after defeating From Beyond, but damn, now the government is involved. Good fun. |
| Why kill Ishida Akira's character? I can't comprehend this... |
 |
sayami said: Why kill Ishida Akira's character? I can't comprehend this... He's only an "interface," whatever that means. But I have faith, since all this time I knew the story behind From Beyond would rear it's head eventually, and it finally did. I'm sure when the time comes (very late, in usual flamenco manner) the reasoning will arise. He seemed to have no will to live, for one. Also, he hinted to Masayoshi that the reason why he's also named flamenco will soon reveal itself...this show just has a bad habit of overestimating people's patience LOL |
| Wow, I really didn't expect things to end up like this. I mean, it was pretty obvious that the Prime Minister was evil since the villans before From Beyond. Laughed so many times during this episode. It's fun and can be serious too. I don't care if most people hate this show. I don't. mistress_kisara said: A lot of masochists in this thread, they keep saying the same thing c'mon drop the show already.. ^ |
DarkGeneral said: I've been making posts about the episodes for a while now and have been noting this one big point. One of the biggest, if not the biggest points of subtext in this series has been media consumption and it's effects on people. Since episode one it has been one of the undercurrent themes. Celebrity, mass consumption, tv shows, fiction, idols, models and media. It was all foreshadowing. ^ THIS. Glad I'm not the only one who was noticing this~ |

| I just want them to wrap up what KING TORTURE left behind.. |
 "Do you know where hell is? Inside your head" - Chrona= "If the king doesn't move, then his subjects won't follow" - Lelouch Lamperouge "If you pretend to feel a certain way, the feeling can become genuine all by accident" - Hei "I want chocolate! No need for love!! Just give me sugar!!!" & "If you have time to think of a beautiful end, then live beautifully until the end" - Sakata Gintoki |
| Was gonna drop this for the weird turn it took, but I'm glad I didn't as I really want to see how this ends up now. |
