Boring anime that had an interesting premise, that only strong point was the fight scenes. I really wanted to like this anime purely for the fight scenes, but the plot is becoming f*** unbearable.

1. This shouldn't be a comedy anime, a few episodes back I was thinking wtf is going on, and it really destroys the action type mood (the comedy is misplaced, often straight after or during emotional or tense scenes, ruining any atmosphere that existed)

2. The plot is just ridiculous.

3. The characters lack development. It is all very cliche, and the deaths don't evoke any emotion.

Episode was all over the place, Pacing too fast, Transition are fast and random info dumps on the plot elements seems nonsensical. Absolutely no emotional investment for me. Yup, at this point I'm just here to see the flashy action scenes.

Honestly couldn't care for any of the deaths this episode,
Leo? Didn't even remember the guy.
BB? maybe if we had a little more time with his character it might have had some impact. It's more like his death was forced and made to look cool and heroic just for the sake of plot and for Seigi to accomplish something.
Cal? I was actually surprised and a bit sad that she died. I liked her, She was strong, badass and cute.
Touko? Honestly that was the most stupid death I have seen. I said it last episode as well. Why was she even here? What was she trying to do? Why the hell would she run away from protection? Why would she even run to Seigi at that point? Stupidity man, Just plain stupidity. Honestly that was terrible writing for a death.

Oh look, It's an Animus and he's gonna see, Believe it! BB's memories. Assassin's Creed:Tattoo incoming.

Recently, this show has been messed up. Touko's death was plain stupid! Seriously, you're in a battlefield and you happily run to your childhood friend when he's right next to the triumphant enemy? Come on!! That's idiocy to the highest level. Why the hell is she even there in the battlefield? she's not a soldier nor is she strong. Ugh! I don't mind BB's death though because he's fighting a strong opponent.

This is getting really ridiculous (as if it wasn't ridiculous before...) Pretty gory, too, I at least was surprised that Ikki's maimed arm didn't miraculously come back all healed later like nothing'd happened. But the main highlight is the fact that the most annoying and stupid bitch of this show is gone. Only, I have this awful feeling that she isn't gone for good and will come back from the dead later (through that borrowed forehead tattoo), maybe with amnesia or something, and will be on the enemy princess' side. Some stupid and cheesy twist like that is coming, mark my words.

I actually laughed when Touko died and I don't even care. She is so stupid. There was no reason for her to be there.
That censorship though when that one soldier got bit in half and the two black bars covered the body.
Tom's outburst when he find out he's out of triggers was my reaction to this episode.

I used to like this series but these episodes were slowly rather trying to kill me, and it's not because of the cliches (because cliches are just everywhere in anime, so I have my stance on that), but more about the pacing is all over the place, and then the death of Touko somehow makes me feel rather irritated, not because I liked her (I did liked her), but its just the way they killed her off was stupid. I'm not the person to drop these type of series (even tho I don't) but I will go and try to see how it goes. Somehow it went to a 5/10 for me, so... its not that bad but its just irritating to see.

I can see where this is going... Now Seigi is probably go Emo and will want to take revenge on the princess for Touko and BB. He will probably run recklessly into battle without a care and when someone is about to die again because of his recklessness (and this person most sure will be Izzy) he'll come back to be the "hero of justice" from the start of the series but now with power to actually do something.

Basically... your generic plot for "ingenuity, shock of reality and mature" of the MC.

I thought that i was the only one who laugh when the childhood friend dies. Because Touko was annoying as hell. Since the beginning, she was the worst character in this anime.

I'll give this episode 5/5 just because Touko died. Seriously it's a good riddance and we can even give her the award of dumbest death of the season, maybe even the year of 2016.


^THIS.

The only death that matters was BB. But if he was in the peak of his power, maybe things was different.

Touko's death was shocking and dumb (brilliant idea to return on the battlefield for seeing Seigi). I didn't dislike her but she definitely was expendable.

As for Leo, his death is way better in the manga since his relationship with a character is more interesting.

Seriously the simply threw away a character for forced development for Seigi? There was no build up or anything to this, we barely even knew the chick. She was literally just created and roped into this for some of the most forced character development I've seen in awhile. Just lazy ass writing.

BB's death on the other hand was alright I guess, actually made sense and did something. Hope Cal didn't die? Kinda liked her but wouldn't be surprised if they killed her off too for edginess' sake. Wonder if this is going to be the new Akame ga Kill and just strive to be edgy at the expense of actual plot and character, making it all pointless.

I should have dropped this shit long ago. Touko's death was even more stupid than Canaria's (the qualidea female mc). Also hate the fucking lesbian loli I was glad when I thought the blind dude had killed her lol, just the good guys die here.
PD: another show got terraformed with censorship-chan



Exactly like Canaria as far as the "are you fucking kidding me death"


This is turning into a dumpster fire, I am really over the "Childhood Friend Curse" already jeezus. They die in every drama/action/supernatural/horror/Mecha/insert genere here.

Pretty shitty setup for her dieing too jeeze, not to mention my most distasteful way to die(being consumed). If it wasn't for my want to complete every anime I watch I would give this up. Started off good and has just went down hill since.

The damn fight scenes are so one-sided it's not fun to watch.

I hope that loli lesbian slut gets killed in an extremely graphic way. Totally immoral too, don't care what it is eitherm

This episode was fucking awesome! I think this made it so much better. Honestly Touko dieing was a surprise to me, I did not see it coming considering she was somewhat main, but hell I guess that doesn't matter. I hate Il though I hope someone tears her to shreds.

Izzy lost her arm, that's crazy so I guess she loses her powers as well since that was her tattoo hand.

I still can't remember why they're fighting. I can't remember all the characters that died... I'm really starting to dislike the boring color palette. And of course they just had to make Touko, one of the few characters I liked, die in the most dumb way possible. And Seigi's plot armor was pretty annoying this episode. I really hate watching this.

But at the same time it feels great, I guess I'm a bit of a masochist.

Another series were likable a hero of justice dies and is replaced by a little kid.

Touko seemed so dumb and oblivious to the situation. It was funny how enthusiastic she was up until she got eaten. If it was trying to be funny then this was a 5/5 for me.

Izzy lost her left hand in all this mayhem.

Illyricus said:
Can Touko's death be more stupid? Who in her sane mind would throw herself to a battlefield when people lies dead and/or injured. I didn't know if laugh or facepalm at that scene, as I didn't felt any sadness. That was a Parasyte level death at least.


That's a good comparison lol.

Well of course both Neo and Chesty McBreasterson had to die; that way there wouldn't be any obstacle to sticking the two mains together. It would have been nice if they didn't make their impending deaths so obvious or the reasons for them so transparent though. Neo pretty much walked into the series with a sign on his neck saying "will die soon" as he hit pretty much every death flag in the book. I think the only thing he didn't say was "I'm only 3 days away from retirement!"

Be strong. If I can hold it together so can you. Just so long as they don't do any more hyperactive "comedy" scenes everything will be ok.

Honestly, the nicknames people here are giving to Touko is much funnier than most of the comedy segments Taboo Tattoo has tried, and that is saying something. >_<

I do admire Cal's passion and skills, but thanks to her arrogant "You can't defeat me" taunt, I wanted her to be defeated completely, and with help from Seigi, BB was able to do just that. Sadly, BB's now dead. )=

Same goes for Touko, whose ironically named shirt, 'flag', confirmed her death when she decided to come back into the battlefield. Too bad for her, Il was there to chomp on her and gloat about it afterwards. Hopefully this bitch will be dead soon enough, since she's getting on my nerves now. =/

It'll be interesting to see more of BB's past next time, but I'm not sure anything will savage this show from mediocrity at this point. Shame....

This show proves the cruelty of wars,tattoo=nuclear weapons,while their consequence can be very extreme.In this episode,Bb is because of overusing tattoo,while Touko came in the worst time because of friendship,characters lose hope.I think this anime is deeply related to our society.

And come on guys,Touko is just a supporting character to the plot,her death is miserable but come to think of it,it may encourage MC learn from mistakes as their knowledge to tattoo is nearly equal to zero,plot may become better,characters may become stronger in the future.
