| The fight between Rentaro and Tina was shorter then I'd hoped it'd be, but Tina ended up joining them so it's fine. Glad the Yasakuwo has been gotten rid of. |
JustALEX said: So....this is basically a loli harem anime at this point, right? my thoughts exactly. I need to become more selective in which seasonal anime to watch because this isn't doing it for me :/. Jojo and Haikyuu should be really great, but I'm waiting for more episodes before I begin. Mushi-shi is plain awesome. Picked up a few anime 'could-be-something' anime including this one, but the only one that's really paid off is Ping Pong, which I expected nothing of, but quickly turned into something fantastic. I guess that makes up for it :) |
| respect 2 a show that would have the MC beat up a loli most dont go near that with a 10-foot pole no matter the circumstances |
| Meh. I was hoping for a better episode after the fairly good episode last time..then again I keep forgetting this is by the same Studio that fucked up Code:Breaker. Rushed, sloppy art/animation, cheesy dialogue and predictable. At least Tina is cute. |

| So although rank is supposed to reflect the strength of the civil officer pairing, Seitenshi can give them out however she sees fit? Couldn't she simply give him some "ordinary" rank in the military/police force/whatever, or give him the access level she sees fit without it being tied to a rank? Especially given that she can give out ranks, it's pointless to tie other stuff to the rank as to prevent misuse or so. And i love the way Tina talks. Too bad she isn't *that* sleepy anymore, their first meeting was golden. |
| how did tina save enju? by not killing her? rintaro's relationship with tina still feels awkward since they act like they're really close after hanging out twice. still, i'm glad that bodyguard is now gone |
| Everything, other than Satomi's serial magic win, was decent. But if only this show wasn't as rushed it'd be the masterpiece of the season. |
  |
| Time to continue from where we left off last episode. So Enju got her ass kicked so fast... damn.... at least her life was spared by Tina. Holy crap! Tina's power level is over 9000! The final battle between Tina and Rentaro is starting! The action was nice and it's great that Rentaro managed to win and spared Tina. Ohooo, Rentaro raised through the ranks and taught that bastard a lesson. Victory! Tina joined the team! |

| to be honest, i wanted to see Kisara badass swordmanship... |

| Yep! that was a pretty much interesting episode with fighting scenes and aggression with plot twist!!! :3 ..... Although I was laughing so hard the moments Rentaro was calling out loud his attacks :"D I hope BB keeps on that episode's pace cause it was pretty good! |
 |
| Aaaaaaaand dropped. How much wasted potential. :( |
| In before loli harem. Tina joining Satomi and Kisara is cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute. (~*^*)~ |
| Someone is trying to kill us? Let's beat them up, then hire them! The Nanoha way of running things, i see :P But I agree with some of the others here, this show is kinda ridiculous. It's similar to the Index/Railgun series in that it cares more about being dramatic and looking cool than making sense. That's why just like them, I mostly just watch this for the pretty action scenes at this point, trying not to think too much about the story. I don't plan to drop it though. I find the action enjoyable at least. GToast said: That's actually what bothers me the least. The way I understood it at least, Seitenshi is pretty much a ruling queen, and given how much she seems to respect Satomi now, he might have had quite a great amount of influence on what happened to Tina. That part makes more sense to me than most of the rest of the episode :PAnd Tina gets released A WEEK after she tried to kill the head of state and just stays in that country and gets a job? yeah.... kikxkik said: Nah, she didn't. "Spare" would be the right word here.can anyone tell me when did Tina save Enju's life? Link_of_Hyrule said: That is ...brilliant. I will from now on use this quote as a summary of the show when I talk about it to other people :DArggggg, so many mixed feelings about this series. The pacing was faster then a coked up cheetah with rocket boosters during the first few episodes and then the cheetah hit a brick wall after episode 5, but that was probably for the best. The character development is also horrible, but got damn it is there some badass shit going on. |

Duri1n said: This episode was pretty weird. For some reason, I didn't like this episode even though I quite enjoyed the first 6 episodes. I'm not sure if i just happened to miss a lot of the previous episodes' illogical moments, but i noticed and was rather annyed by a lot of them in this one. Firstly, the fight seemed kinda ridiculous. How do u use a phone in the middle of a battle -_-... maybe there's an explanation for this in the LN, bcos the info given did help, but the way it was animated seemed kinda weird. I dunno... (im letting the rather stupid idea of going to battle without even knowing that the sniper rifles were remotely controlled slide for now...) How he won the fight was VERY weird. He suddenly powered up thinking abt Enju???? And how did the flash bang suddenly explode?? I didnt understand what he meant when he said it misfired... and then how Tina reacted gave me a 'huh?' Moment. I would think at ranked 98, something unexpected like a flash bang would not leave her standing there like a siting duck... i would think pros know how to defend themselves or at least retreat when one of their senses are incapacitated... -_- Then, there was the part where Tina got shot... loads of things making me scratch y head at that scene... how the hell do two guards hold down someone like Rentarou who has Varanium strengthened body parts... it was funny seeing how a guy who sppsedly beat a rank 98 initiator, can be held down by 2 guards (theyre elite guards, yes, but arent they supposed to be nowhere close rank 98...) And then, as pointed out by previous posters, isnt civil officer ranks determined by strength??? That felt like a highly irresponsible promotion by Seitenshi. Also, Rentarou's request for more power came out of the blue. Sure the higher rank wpuld be useful, but i dont see any reason why he really had any urgent need for any of those privileges. I dont rmb any situation in the previous episodes where the rank of 300 wouldve helped, its not like he could protect Seitenshi or prevent Enju's beating up with the 300 rank... Personally, I also found the relationship between Tina and Rentarou a bit forced in this episode, especially when it comes to why rentarou seems nice to Tina. But after some thinking, i guess all his actions are pretty logical, tho i think the studio couldve done a better job at making it more believable. I think this is probably cos the epislde was rushed... Oh, and how can Rentarou look perfectly healthy after getting shot so many times... i mean, he's so unharmed, there arent even bloodstains on his shirt after the fight... -_-... Finally, was it just me who thought the dialogue in this episode flowed weirdly. Eg, conversation between that whacko scientist sensei lady (forgot her name) and Rentarou. They were talkig abt the floating sphere detection device thing, then why varanium is black, then how Rentarou has a no nonsense attitude, and then how sensei has grown bcos of Rentarou??? Dont mean to make this sound like a rant or anything. Jus, this episode did seem to have a lot of cringe worthy moments that, in previous episodes, were too minor to notice or too few to ruin my enjoyment... maybe LN or manga readers could explain some of these doubts... -_- Alright here's my insight: He's mostly unharmed due to that regeneration injection he used a few episodes back. Remember? He now has a healing ability similar to the cursed children. Secondly, he sees a lot of Enju in Tina. He feels her pain and empathizes with her. He feels the need, after witnessing those 2 cops murder that cursed girl back in (episode 1 or 2?) to protect her with his life. And next, a gun was pointed at Tina's head. He felt cold fear and couldn't think straight. And about the flash bang. It just took longer than usual to fire, and it made him lose hope for a few seconds. But thinking of Enju gave him his strength back. Lastly, He wants power to protect those he loves. He also wanted revenge on that high ranking bastard who shot Tina, so he asked for it and it was granted. |

| wow this anime is fucking epic love the fight scenes so many lolis <3 Tinas a badass OMG i thought she was going to die T-T when she got shot i have a feeling that prick is going to come back and cause problems for him and his loli team XD people complain this anime is moving fast but i don't think its that bad <3 great episode |

| 4/5 The Loli save the world, in the case of its being so Tina loli gave points against Rentaro! ASD If the plot was even more dark and dramatic in some places, and not too sweet and so out of place, it would be sublime; not that I do not feel like a ray of sunshine from time to time in the narrative. Drawings are good enough, the combat was awesome to follow. That in the grand final Rentaro face skip the finger at that idiot bespectacled, Oh Yes! I hope that in the BD version milgiorino designs further. |
 |
| Stayed entertaining, I thought Tina would most likely come to their side. Rentaro's voice actor sure has a lot of dramatic tone to deliver almost every scene |
 |
| This episode had some really fancy art, nice action scene. That flashbang was cliché as shizzles though. This show is 50% serious and 50% moe harem. ヽ(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| I feel like they always start out strong in the first 2 eps , and then on the 3rd one they realize that they are on the last episode for that arc and try to cram everything in. Making it always super rushed and very hard to understand. Still pretty good though i guess |
| Good thing that Tina didn't die. After cute Kayo died. I may not handle one more loli to be gone. Plus she's a cutie. |
| What a load of BS, the MC survives in the last fight because of sheer luck, after he narrowly survives thanks to a randomly exploding flashbang grenade, the girl suddenly does nothing and gets beat up with no effort whatsoever even though she is meant to be 6 times as powerful as him and she was defeating him with no problems earlier. Oh and after nearly killing Enju she becomes friends with her instantly. Damn incompetent assasin, she is released after a WEEK for attempting to murder the HoS like nothing ever happened, damn I hope she attempts to kill the HoS again just to punish their stupidility for letting her go so soon..... This anime.... getting full retard. |
| I am a human. |
| Haha ^ I agree with him. Otherwise that was a cute finale for this episode  |
 |
| The pacing this episode was really off. Kinda killed the enjoyment. povveriess said: biggest gripe was how the 2 bodyguards held down rentaroe I want to know why the bodyguards were acting like that in the first place. We got no explanation for it, or anything else for that matter. Like what the hell is the "Owl's element?" |

| wtf since when is Ayn Rand a man? And it would seem typical that Ayn Rand is plotting the end of the world. Black Bullet's OST has definitely taken place as my #1 favorite anime music. |
~my list
| Yay, much better this way :D |
 |
| Tina joins the team! ^_^ Rentaro is really badass this episode. ao_no_exo said: Otherwise that was a cute finale for this episode Agree. It was very nice of them to forgive her. :) |
 |
| First 6 episodes = pretty cool despite not being into loli 7th Episode = pushing it with a loli harem..... |
 "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" |
| This show seems to give me a "whatever" feeling on how everything develops and turn out. Btw, lol at the two guys holding him and him not being able to do anything. How ridiculous is that? He can beat the shit out of monsters but omg two average guys are holding my hands i am helpless!!! Lol. nytefall123 said: Why does Rentaro keep shouting out his attack like a total dumbass and why exactly is varanium black??? Don't give me the bs answer sensei gave because that is not a real answer. Because his an anime character in a mediocre work of fiction. Varanioum is black for the same reason gold is gold and silver is silver i guess. From when does something needs a reason to have a color? |

| Omg Tina is so cute! Its like shes a completely different person! |

| Man, this anime did not need such a lame glasses guy as a baddie. And look Rentaro can aim with his left hand to take out a sniper, so why was he freaking out when he was tasked to hit that bigass Gastrea!! |
 |
| Loli harem confirmed! Pretty nice episode in general, it's quite lovely to see Tina joined their side :p Let's see what happens next though! |
 |
| God damn Rentaro is building his Loli harem. |

| Yay Tina is part of the Team now *-* |
 |
| From the first couple episodes, I was expecting this anime to be a bit darker. But from the new opening sequence, this'll just be a loli harem with action, it seems :X |
