Totally agree its not that bad, people just want to show them self as part of group that says "this show is bad and horrible" something like stuff about the YouTube video of Call of duty Infinity warfare.

Also thank god if that paper was adoption paper, first i thought its divorce paper of the parents X)

The context of this episode is not the crux of why this show is getting the shit treatment. This may have been a tipping point. The show itself is simply not entertaining. GoHands just excels at crap like this. Look at K. Battles are uninspiring and the characters are easily some of the worst (boring and annoying) I've come across as of recent. If you honestly are enjoying this show then your criteria for doing so is unarguably low. This isn't some trendy show where keyboard warriors can be heard so hopping on a hate bandwagon to be "one of the cool kids" isn't the case. It simply sucks.

I'm out on this one. Dropped. It's not going to get any better with 6 episodes.

I kind of agree with what you said and this show certainly lacking in some categories like visual, story and pacing, also i didn't mean to say that this anime is great, i just wanted to say that it worth more than what most people are saying and its not a "5" anime but rather a "6 / 6.5" anime.

About my criteria, personally if i find something interesting in an anime, im willing to overlook some of its weaknesses and enjoy the show.
In this case, the thing about the MC's sister and the fact that he didn't want to let go the hand of Koyori was strangely dramatic in my opinion that gave me a positive view on the whole show.

But, the only thing I like from this show is the ending and Koyori.

Can someone tell me what that paper was supposed to be at the end since CR or whatever HS ripped didn't translate it?


I can't say for certain, but it looks a LOT like a Family Register (google it and take a look at the image returns). As to exactly what that means... either we find out next episode or it will be left to our imaginations (unless someone actually takes the time to translate it).

Paper shows Masaru's info. He's adopted into Lily's family. Well, one more thing shared with Big Order.
That mom seems insane & hates Masaru, maybe more family drama incoming. So they lost the battle but won their mutual wish of love.

That 180 camera flip was... something... The Lily protecting bro had better camera.
I hate card shows, with long-range fight & ugly cg make ughhh, boring compared to previous fights. Card art & osts were good tho.
Koyori helping Tazuna, bit of improvement there.

You mean Tazuna. Masaru is the DEAD END EMPERORRRRRRR.

I think this ep was a really bad one, but still better than ep 1. Here we got some backstory (standard as it was) and we saw Koyori take a stand to help Tazuna.
I was ticked off from last week because of their irrational craving to fight, and I'm still irritated now, they don't wanna fight, you don't wanna fight, you think they want to fight so now you want to fight? They still say they don't want to fight and you just hear "We want to fight"? Ehhhhhhh?

CGI dragon hand was really off putting, Tazuna's gauntlet was cool and they seemed to have brushed up the animation near the end of the fight, which was nice. But I have no clue wtf these people are even thinking half the time. Different strokes for different folks I guess :/
and next ep they're all buddies again despite this crazy and ruthless battle that they started AND lost

K then

I suppose that somebody has manipulated the system to trick them into fighting. He/they was/were even late to dispel it when the finishing blow was struck.
Or maybe "exit when nobody wants to fight anymore" is a lie. We can't trust the professor, remember?
Or Koyori and Masaru wanted to fight after all. They aren't as transparent as the other two.

I 100% don't believe the professor's words about not wanting to fight. My complaint was directed more towards the fact that they automatically assumed that Tazuna and Koyori wanted to fight, and with that mindset if I were to be dumb enough to believe the professor's words, then by all means Lily and Masaru were more aggressive. It just seemed so hypocritical.
As for the late exit from Ziggurat, I'm pretty sure it had to do with the Hand Shakers standing on the top of the building. It's likely that they were watching the fight and as a result, even though Tazuna defeated Masaru and Lily, there was still another pair of Hand Shakers, so the Ziggurat didn't disappear until they left.

Leaving the animation aside I feel the plot is going really...really slow. Which makes me think they might be considering a 2nd season? A VN? Or that this is just going to continue being a bigger mess than it's now.

1. I was ok with Koyori not being ablt to talk in the beginning but hell I want her to say something! At least some words would be ok. The show hasn't explained why she can't talk, like maybe she forgot because of the coma thing but no, there's no explanation. So make.her.talk.

2. Did the show ever explained how someone becomes a hand shaker? I would like to know.

3. People say they are fighting because they want their wish to come true, well...I have questions...was it ever said that your wish will become true if you win? If you win what? The battles? How many battles? And what they mean by "winning"? So far nobody has died in the battles expect for the guy in the 1st ep that ended up in the hospital so I don't know why Koyori and Tazuna don't want to fight.(specially Tazuna since I don't know what the heck is Koyori thinking)

4. Episode 5 gave a hint that maybe the scientist is not as trustworthy as it might seem, I hope he becomes the "villian" otherwise I don't know where the plot is heading.

1. Agreed. It's about time, given that she's become pretty active now.

2. No, it did not. People just hold hands and suddenly receive a "revelation of Babel". At least, that's the way it was for MC.

3. It was said that it is possible to challenge god if you fight enough. It sounds like an opportunity to take his place and make whatever you want happen, rather than simple "granting wishes".
On the other hand, Tazuna does not have any wish desperate enough to resort to hurting other people. Except for Koyori to live. And it is safer for her if they do not fight.

4. Yes, the scientist looks like he's going to be the mastermind. Or maybe the glasses guy is not as bad with words as he seems, and made it look like that on purpose.
At least the MC is technical type too. I do not like the anti-intellectualist message that happens in many anime.

The CGI and stock fire effects...the stupid ass backstory then doesn't really work here as a backstory...the awful and incompatible motivations...the disjointed sequence of events...the new asspull victory from Shirou-wannabe-kun...*vomits blood*

This really encapsulates everything wrong with this show. Fuck this episode and fuck this show!

Watched in DUB and unlike other show, this felt really differenet experience and it gets 125% more entertaining than sub.
Anyway, another average episode and predictable outcome as expected.And... forbidden love story in this action anime... oh well.

It drags quite a bit but I'm enjoying the wacky ass animation and the music is quite decent. The characters are very bland though and I don't see them getting any better. Still I enjoyed this episode enough for a 3/5

I feel like this was the right episode to drop this trash show. Initially I thought the reviews were more based on the animation which many people didn't like. But now I realized that this anime is bad at everything.

This show is so bad, and that incest shit made me feel weird.
Honestly, the backgrounds and things that aren't the characters are actually drawn quite well, but the characters, CGI, music, voice acting and just everything else is so bad. I'm only watching this show so I can say I've watched it. It's just awful. The fight this episode was also really boring, I didn't really care about what was happening because the reason they were fighting in the first place was really stupid.

Ah, man, an anticlimactic finishing again. The animation style still crap as heck and never bring a good mood on the battle. Holy shit, that 3D was the scarriest thing i've ever watched on the anime world. The story wise teller of Lily and her brother was not satisfied at all. Ofc, the studio made the lame excuse that both of them were not a real siblings after all. At the end their story just ended as bland as a thin air tastes. Their reason was too dull to understand. A very anticlimactic shit ever, after i felt so much promising thing might happening on the show. Now its officially goes back to zero. What a shame.

Hinting at the possibility of Riri and Masaru being non-blood related? I'm no longer surprised by this bullshit writing cop-out in anime, but I still can't help but feel disappointed by the utter spinelessness of it regardless. Blood or nothing.

On the plus side, the character relationships and fights are handled decently, and this anime clearly does put in the effort to add depth to them.
