The same site gave Sam Flam finale a slightly better score than Kill la Kill in its finale. I have read this blog as well and it has been in love with Samurai Flamenco for quite some time...even saying how its cliff hangers were more frustrating than Lost. Giving it very high scores throughout...and giving the episode with the Gorilla introduction an "A" - to each their own I guess when it comes to opinions.

Lol to everything you just said. It is true though. I dealt with the same thing with Kill la Kill's conclusion when I mentioned a few things that could have been expanded on. However, annyone who says anything negative about Sam Flam gets an immediate rebuke from the fans - "you don't get this brilliant anime," "its a thinking person's anime," "you are all too blind to this work of art and its stellar writing." - I get it all the time.

This anime was filled with plot holes, plot twists, and seemed like the writers just threw a bunch of ideas into a hat and when they wanted to do next step they just went to the hat and pulled out the idea.

Granted, there were some excellent themes about growth, reality vs. fiction, heroes in the real world, being blinded by ambitions, psychosis...however, the people who attack people for having a negative opinion on this show are just ridiculous.


True enough. It's like users are swarming on this anime, trying to defend it with their life and absurd claims like "We should celebrate", "for the sake of art", "it's a thinking person's anime", "Best anime this 2014" which are literally bulls. Although I must admit that the anime isn't bad at all neither it's worth all the grand, life changing comments by the die hard fans.

Because MAL is a place where you can find die hard fans, avid haters and the neutral grays. Sites like blogs and anime stream websites' comments and ratings are just one-sided because only people who like the anime rates and come there in the first place. That's why it's a norm to see a score of 9 and above for every anime out there.

It sucks we didn't get some resolution on where Goto's girlfriend is. that ending about the power of love and Masayoshi and Goto getting married was totally random and was put in there for the yaoi shipping purposes but it was hilarious. pretty awesome series and i'm glad i watched it.

Once you go full retard you never go back. It's a shame that a show with an interesting story turned into some messy random crap that seemed as if they were making it up along the way while passing around the bong. Just glad it's over.

He had zero interest in her.

I think they could've been good for each other, no interest in the beginning doesn't mean nothing can come out of it. I've seen plenty of shows where persistence wins out. Gotou helped Mari out after King Torture and Gotou had his own "issues" which I think Mari could help by being a REAL female in his life and it's obvious she cares for him to a degree from ep19 or she wouldn't have acted the way she did. It's not like Gotou interacted with any other female.

She was a complete bitch, why the hell do people want Gotou to go out with her?!?

I never thought the ending will resemble that of the opening of this anime when Gotou-san finds him[SF/Hazama] naked and even tells him in the dark alley as an ecchi.. pervert.. well that pervert later on PROPOSED to him?! hah?! well.. baka 77x haha :)) great Opening songs by spyair and flow and great anime that puts superheroes into real-life perspective without those flashy super powers..

This show was so random it would have made Haruhi Suzumiya happy. The bong? lol. People call it brilliant, they are entitled to their own opinion but I agree this show could have been so much tighter with its development.

She was a complete bitch, why the hell do people want Gotou to go out with her?!?


That was disappointing about Mari - pretty much no development after her crying fit on the stage. Most of the characters had poor progression imh opinion but then at the end they tried to turn Masayoshi and Goto's characters really quick. I only think what could have been. Definitely an interesting ride though.

How the hell did he become homophobic with just that reaction?

Nonetheless his words isn't something to be glad about.

Well, whether Gotou's girlfriend is alive or dead remains a mystery.

I like the sound of it! Any possible sequel? I would love to have one!

It was funny throughout after Masayoshi arrived at his house, and then stripped naked LOLOL and asked Goto to marry him LOLOL WTF. The episode was a little rushed, just a little, some situations and the dialogue could've been better, but, I still liked it. Good series overall. SamuMenco lives on in my heart forever.

Edit: It was sad when Goto sent himself a "final" message from his GF, the one about "going on a journey". I liked the OST too, it perfectly fits every scenarios.

Samurai Flamenco: Hated by people that take their anime WAY too damn seriously.

m4rc0 said:
Wall of text:

Going to throw in with this too. Even if he wasn't thinking it, Masayoshi proposing was probably the only thing that could've made Goto put down the gun at that moment. Crazy hate was defeated by crazy love!

I am a little disappointed that Mari didn't get more character development in the second half of the series. I felt like she had a lot of room to grow, even if she still didn't end up with Goto.

rodac said:
I'm trying to figure out at which point this show jumped the shark: there are so many options...

I seem to recall posting somewhere around the middle of the series that "We're gonna need a bigger shark..."

Overall a strange, but enjoyable series. Very few shows manage to remain quite as unpredictable as this one from week to week, which kept me coming back to see what crazy nonsense they'd pull on us. It was fun! 9/10

what a weird fucking ending.

why the hell did he strip?

the whole time I'm saying PUT YOUR FUCKING PANTS BACK ON.

apparently Masayoshi is just stupid. What is love? "I'll do what your girlfriend would do" .... yeah wut

Goto is still bonkers.

The "villain" was just a stupid kid. And they didn't explain how he somehow attacked the Flamengers and others without any powers or anything.

That made no sense.

I could tolerate the absurd stuff, but these last few episodes were the worst. Shoulda ended it beating the aliens.

^^^All of this.

That kid plot hole is the real stinker. Never explained how he appears, reappears and is in multiple places at once. Gotta love those parents that fake the kids death too...

All themes aside, Masayoshi is one of the worst characters I have seen in anime due to his naive stupidity. He is Baka. So is Goto...they really are made for each other.

Well, that was a fun ride, but I'm happy it's over. Some things didn't really get answered, but I think that's the point. Not all superheroes follow logic.

The very last scene made me laugh. Some guy throws an empty can out the window, and Masayoshi pulls a Superman. I like that.

Giving the show a final scoring of 8/10, since while it did falter in some areas, I was still entertained enough to enjoy it. It's one of those series you pretty much have to turn your brain off and sit back and enjoy for what it is. Some of the characters I don't particularly care for, but the cast is big enough that I can pick and choose who I liked and didn't like. I understand the frustration toward the series, but I think it's meant to straddle the "good" and "fine" line in the end.

And perhaps this is indeed a troll anime, it'll just take some time to see it :P. I don't mind either way.

Samurai Flamenco is garnering positive reviews across the internet.

http://angryanimebitches.com/2014/03/samurai-flamenco-overall-review/

"Once again, I really haven’t been digging the use of a numerical rating to gauge my overall enjoyment of the series (especially something such as samflam), but since that seems to make or break the decision to check the series out for most people… At gunpoint and stripped naked (teehee) I would give it a 9/10? It could trend upwards depending on my mood, and I’m really tempted to give it a perfect score, but there were just minor issues I had with the series I find hard to overlook completely. Still, it will easily make its way into my list of favourites if I ever plan to do a proper list, and is without a doubt my favourite anime from 2013.

Until then, goodbye Flamwenco Universe!"


http://my-shiny-toy-robots.blogspot.com/2014/03/samurai-flamenco-review.html

"So because of this, Samurai Flamenco is a bit of a difficult show to place a final rating on. If you're a tokusatsu geek like I am, you'll enjoy what is a clear love letter to the tokusatsu heroes of old (and new) in a show that admittedly is flawed but loveable nonetheless. However if you're a more casual anime-goer that's simply checking it out for its reputation or the mention of superheroes, you may find yourself a little more confused and disappointed by its sudden u-turns in story telling and flop of a finale. My rating goes out to all the tokusatsu fans out there, but if its not your cup of tea feel free to knock one of those Mukips right off the end."

http://www.geekybytes.org/samurai-flamenco-review-a-mind-freak-has-written-this-anime/

"Samurai Flamenco is a bit of a difficult show to place a final rating on. The entire show is like a twisted fantasy making it non-mainstream style superhero show. Because depending on how the series is interpreted, it’s either brilliant or terrible — and I can’t seem to decide which."

http://www.japanator.com/final-impressions-samurai-flamenco-320

"Balls-to-the-wall insanity, superheroes, and a legendary script that have done more than most other shows this season. Each arc of Samurai Flamenco could've been its own show, but instead they did it all.

And somehow... it all worked."

Very very unique anime. It makes you re-think about a lot of things that happen around you. Though the execution might not be good enough for some ppl and it kinda bugged them off.

Not a big fan of yaoi but it was acceptable in this case.

Wow that was one hell of a ride. I liked the gun scene, they kept surprising me with every line and damn dat proposal. I'm a shounen-ai fan but I have to say it felt more like a "trying to get reason across with Goto" rather than a real proposal, I mean Masayoshi is very inexperienced in conveying his feelings, wether this be friendship or "love".
But I think the ending was good. In the end Goto didn't kill the (insane) kid and though he didn't stop texting I think it's more realistic that way, he seems less obsessed with it and is able to laugh it off/about it compared to snapping at Masayoshi for bringing it up. Recovery isn't easy and certainly not suddenly so I think it's good this way.

I don't really know what to think of the serie overall, it had a great start, some really strange turns and a few downs but mixed with some ups as well. I think I'll rate it 8/10 just because it's a very entertaining show, I'm not saying there aren't plot holes or strange turns that don't make much sense but I prefer this show over another loli harem with a 15 year old school boy any day.

I'm just happy that Mari and Goto never happened.

Goto helped her out when she was suffering, but when he's going through a hard time she calls him disgusting and walks away. I think that says it all. She's selfish and he isn't. So glad that never happened and he showed no interest in her. I was worried there for a moment, but I'm relieved by the outcome.
