That was awesome. One of the characters reminds me a little of Viral from TTGL. Looks like Shio needs to improve her aiming a bit but I think she did just fine.

Dat memories on her cell phone at the end. Never forget <3

Lol that I can't get enough of that OP it's so badass I need that song for my Ipod.

Anyways, what happened to the guys in the plane I thought they were in trouble? And that dance Ogura was doing was pretty cool, I like those flashbacks of Nobunaga every time she learns a new move.

Also does anybody else notice that Jack The Ripper is also in that video game called Metal Gear Rising?

Loving this series :D

Pretty awesome action. Just gotta love it when Sio goes Nobunaga mode XD The dude is BA!

How she was dancing and just jumped out of the heli hahaha.

Jack was cool too. A new ship has sailed it seems XD

Sio is really cute <3 Her blushing was fun to see :3

I'd say Nobunagun can't perform perfectly, unless she's 'Memory Synched' with Nobunaga. That's shown whenever these memories pop up, her red eyes and the general will to kill.

The question is, is she the only one who can do it, or will they just not show the others? And if she's the only one, why?

Also, it feels to me like Newton is pretty similar to http://myanimelist.net/character/4311/Sei_Sakuraoka , but that might just be a coincidence.

That is some impressive teamwork for Jack the Ripper and Nobunagun. Nice shot for Nobunagun btw on her past memories. Some funny moments, and yet a development (probably) for Jack the Ripper and Nobunagun.

Ah now this is what I loved about the first two episodes. The strategic collaborating of the E-gene holder's ability is exactly where the potential for this series is, and they're delivering. Jack and Nobunagun will probably have the best chemistry going from that display.

Can't wait to see the rest of the holders.

The MC really makes this show so much more enjoyable, both when she goes into pure Nobunaga mode, but also in doing an excellent job at portraying an out of water, strange, 14 year old girl. It makes you really like her and by extension the entire show.

I like how she thinks she is the only normal one there, though she is probably the strangest of the bunch. The parenthetical comments when she was texting her mother were amusing.

Ugh... can't stand Shio's voice.
That new chick was cute, in her tank-thingy. Would like to see more of her.

I can't stop thinking that the voice actress for that alien that works with the E-gene folks, I think the name was Dogoo, was a wrong pick. It just doesn't fit the character. The character needs a wiser-godlike feel to it. The voice actress has a tomboy-ish feel to her. And funnily enough, she's voiced many tomboy characters, like Tayuya from Naruto as well as male characters like Gai from guilty crown and Mutsu from Gintama. They should have used her for a E-gene holder character. Say a badass tomboyish samurai.

Weren't there more than just ten eggs? Weren't there like hundreds of them? Would have been much cooler if they all fell down. I mean, c'mon, the alien should have just dropped them all at once, instead of flinging one after the other while waiting to be killed. And once he was dead, we only saw like ten eggs falling to the ground... shouldn't they have all fallen to the ground with him? I think they missed a chance at a potentially epic intense battle. Nevertheless, it was still interesting.

That dance and the Nobunagun speech was cool, but I think they could have made it funnier with her getting up out of her sniping position all of a-sudden to just start... dancing. The comedy doesn't get to me, it just irritates me.

Fan service is just meh... there was like one panty shot, and it wasn't really all that well made tbh.

Jack x Shio works, cuz I guess they fit each other. They're both crazy for blood. Those faces they make in battle are just so cool xD. I just wish Shio would grunt less... it's annoying.

i appreciate the fact that there wasn't much fan service, i get tired of shows constantly getting away from the point to show us girls panties when, you know, i don't care. you really shouldn't base whether you like the show or not on how much fan service there was or if you enjoyed it, because the show isn't about panties.

Great episode. Galileo in a quirky outfit haha. I love how three E-gene holders collaborated to take down the Object.

It's fun to watch Shio the contrast between the Shio-meek and flustered mode and when Nobunaga's memories kicks in, she suddenly turns on the badass mode.

Jack x Sio c'mon! Goodbye Asao-san.

Yeah, this would have been a good episode, had it not started with the fact that she seemed completely unfazed by a plane full of her friends dying. Seriously, that was the big punch at the end of episode 3, and they all but ignore it except for a 5 second snippet in this one.

It sort of ruined what would have otherwise been a nice advancement in the series.

One funky dance, a mix of an old war chant and her techno uniform.

Decent fight, not as cool as the previous one, but still good.

Cute she has a crush on Jack :3

The invasion objects are shown to be smart so it wouldn't be unthinkable that their original objective was to spread the eggs in as wide area as possible. What's the point of dropping all the eggs at once if they can ride the wind and spread it over greater area? Not to mention the hurricane hasn't reached land yet (although presumably very close to it already), which is why Ogura and Jack landed on the sea. The first few eggs could've been thrown as the first experimental batch, which may land on the ground once carried by the hurricane since they are near the land already.

The rest of the eggs were assumed to have fallen on the sea but of course that's not the end of it, which is why they sent a search party. The next episode could very well be them dealing with the eggs that do land on the ground.

Seems to be getting better. Great episode

Talk about the case of recklessness, she just jumped out of the helicopter and start shooting the eye. Very good strategy from Nobunaga. I could also say the same thing for Jack, they sure make an awesome duo.

oh God.. no.. just NO. DO NOT PUT ROMANCE IN THIS.. fuck.. I won't mind if the protagonist is a guy but... damn man.. why did she had to be a girl anyway?? Nobunaga is a guy for fuck's sake.. I just can't stand to watch an anime with romance in the POV of the girl.. not to mention there's no romance tag and also it was tagged as SHOUNEN! can a guy really enjoy watching a girl being all lovestruck and shit?? no he can't! rant over.

Much better than last week's episode, this one was actually enjoyable.
The scenes with Nobunaga are the best.

Jack and Shio work well together, she keeps calling him (and the others) weirdos but she's a weirdo herself so it's perfect.

Completely unrelated, Jack the Ripper is a nickname that Jack a.k.a. Raiden from MGR got during his child soldier days. They also used to call him White Devil and other things I don't remember.

And I agree. My quote was solely judging the fan service they gave us in the episode, not the entire show. All I was saying was that if they want to make panty shots in this show, they might as well make it worth-the-while. I mean, she does have a cute butt...

I kinda liked the romance in this one; it's very shoujo-esque in what is a very shounen show and that's quite unusual, to me anyway (but I haven't watched that many shows so I wouldn't really know pfft).

Anyhow, the story is pretty good and I'm excited to see where it goes. I hope Shio can learn to fight without having Oda guiding her from her e-gene or whatever it is, otherwise I'm sure she'll get stuck at some point.

"Remember your training!"
She has had one day of training....and she didn't learn shit.. This was a really bad pre-fighting dialogue. And for the love of something holy, STOP IMPLEMENTING ECCHI MOMENTS! This is not a harem, hentai or bible black. As shown in the last seconds of this episode we are however getting a bit of romance, and that might work. But please stop using lame pants shots as a way to make people like this show. It's boring and predictable as hell.

Action was pretty good. Jack is clearly the stronger of the two, and that's good. I'm not sure what I think about Nobunaga's pre-fighting dance.. Was a bit eh ok.

I would like some more information about the other E-gene carriers and their abilities. I will be sad if they go romance over action in this one..

I was hoping that the next battle would recapture the brilliance of the start of this series, but it seems that wasn't to happen. Far from it, in fact.

It's a shame. But I still have hope for this series.
