This episode...

Nope, couldn't take that beach segment seriously. Also, how come Izzy always get the insane opponents? lol. Sigh, too bad the episode ended without a conclusion of the fight although we'll probably see more of it next time. I miss BB already.

I have to admit that the comiket part was actually funny, it's been a while

If Seigi can save the world, that's bullshit

Living in the forest, eating insects, a video from the princess at the beach with Lisa and Rope-wear Ilutmish wearing. Plus Tama-chan proposing with that "Otaku" talk to Yumi which makes Tom totally surprised. This episode is surely hilarious.

This episode made me feel indifferent. So, a year has passed, Seigi has gotten stronger and taller, Blusey hasn't changed much aside from losing an arm, and Lisa has gone to the dark side. An abundance of yelling, fighting, and exposition, but there wasn't an opening to emotionally connect with any of it. It was just a lot of noise. At least it's done with the flashbacks.

3/5

I'll need to get drunk to be even able to go through the final episodes. This shit is Triage X level, tries to be something but doesnt know how to be something, acknowldges it (somewwhat) and hides it with some fights and half naked teenagers. Basically this Anime is actually nothing disguised as something.

Very very mediocre episode. So that was it for the flashback, They could have just fit it into the last episode.

Did anyone notice the animation the very beginning where Cal's running animation changed into this cheap slide animation? I'm pretty sure that wasn't intended for comedic purposes.

Anyhow, I laughed when I heard that there was a 1 year time skip. Obviously Seigi has become strong now(?), Cool, but the trophy winner was clearly this line where he explained his new strength with "I can see it all somehow, That's all" XD 5/5. I'm sorry, I couldn't help but laugh at this. :( They could have quoted or shown some intensive training to at least make it seem believable.

So Seigi hates Arya and wants to take revenge, I suppose that's to be expected.

The best thing about this episode was easily Tom, Him and Tamaki watching hentai on TV was hilarious, That doujin present XD and Tom's reaction to Tamaki getting married were hilarious as well XD

Transition into second half was quite fast, We're in the grand canyon all of a sudden. Lol at that guy who got killed immediately. What a location to have a tattoo xD, She even pierced it with a needle? :o

Arya owned that sergeant dude at the end, Cal is still alive :D

As for the plot, The bottomline is Arya wants to change the world, Seigi wants revenge, so he goes after Arya and ends up saving the world in the process. Hopefully I got that right.
Show has really derailed hard, It's become a complete mess.

JC Staff have pretty much thrown in the towel with this series. The animation was full of shortcuts and looked clunky and don't even get me started on the dialogue. I thought Qualidia Code was the worst this season has to offer but Taboo Tattoo has overtaken it.

Also whats the point in Blusey loosing an arm when it can be replaced with a mechanical one that looks exactly the same? Its a useless plot device.


In short this is an embarrassing pile of shit. I'm gonna need alcohol to get through next weeks episode.

I had hopes this series wouldn't end up like this, but its just became a pile of garbage. The animation is lousy and it is way to fast paced, for a manga that is still publishing they sure are rushing the plot along; if they played it right it may have been good enough to get more seasons but I highly doubt that at this point. My main problem however is with the characters, especially the female characters. Lisa has essentially just become a fodder character and I had hopes that she would get her revenge on Il but no Il has turned Lisa into another of her puppets and we all know how that ended for Touko, Izzy (Bluesy) has slowly became a less interesting character and at this point only serves for the purpose of a female protagonist, we hardly have any character development for her (Apart from her relationship with B.B) I don't think that this anime can be saved but if they do manage to salvage the last few episodes the highest it can get is a 5.

This episode made me confused because of the time skip. Nothing made sense.
The beach scene segment was weird to watch.
Action was decent I guess. It was cool to watch.
The scene where the background character was proposing to his girlfriend was the best part of the episode.

Like honestly people if you hate this anime so much why do you continue to watch it? Like seriously go watch something else rather than criticize the anime. On topic, I thought the episode was funny because of the way Tom acted.

Sadly I don't want to be "that person" but in all honesty I really can't even enjoy the series at this point I guess. Everything feels fast paced and out of place, and it just seemed like JC Staff decided to do their worst yet and this is coming from a person that loves J.C Staff. It just seems more like they just won't give a shit about it and they will focus on the other stuff they have, mainly this is just like some sort of blatantly cash-grabbing, and I haven't caught up to the manga even so I do wanna go and check the manga afterwards at least...

I mean I haven't caught up to Amanchu and Soma and I am not caught up to Saiki (which is garbage tbh imo) But, exception of Saiki Kusou (I despise this anime short for reasons), this is probably their weakest work up to date, or at least, one of the weakest. I don't think its their worst work since there are a few that I consider the worst from their end (I personally believe Majimoji Rurumo its their worst show in their entire lineup), but it really, really doesn't make it any better. At this point I will probably give it like a 4. I don't hate it per say (if I did I would have given it a 3) but it was so much that I can't stand it in the end.

I don't hate the series at all in all honesty, I thought it was fairly entertaining, but in the past few episodes, they were just some sort of chore that it's really not that entertaining to see. Maybe I can pass it off as maybe a funny time series, but even then, it's just mostly purely fast paced and just not even trying to put any effort at least entertainment wise. I don't care if it is cliche or generic (because you can't escape it in all honesty) but, at least make it entertaining and fun rather than really cringe worthy, or at the very least making it look as a chore.

By the way, I can't really drop anything, since I am an completionist so.

This anime is bad. But I think its best you delete your post thou because its stupid and it shows how much you know about anime and the market. Consider the amount of people watching anime and the amount of crazy anime fan who collect anime blu-ray, 500 copies are easy to achieve.

Everyone preference is different, you don't like it doesn't mean others think so too. No offence to you but think before you write.

The only reason I'm finishing watching this thing is because it's on my list for the 2016 anime challenge. I'm 10 episodes in and only have 2 more to sit through so I figure I can grin and bear it. It's really...realllllly.....REALLLYYY bad though.

I thought nothing would surpass Mayoiga as best comedy of 2016, but I was totally wrong.
I hope Tamaki survives, I want to think those deathflags self-aware comedy was introduced to foreshadow he will survive against all odds, but I really doubt it.
I only care for him and Tom at this point.

I'm glad to not be American, because how the show portrays them as useless barbarians and fodders is frustrating.
That dark skinned chick has her tattoo in an interestign place...

I hope this get finished by the 12th episode and we don't have a second season. JC Staff, you better would made Index III instead of this.

Also, RIP shark Dean Carter, saddest death of the series.

Well.. if you want a serious show you should have dropped it earlier. Im staying for the comedy and fan service.
The guys raising red flags in the back lol. These are indeed deathflags.
I dont even think this anime is bad, its just that it could have been actually good considering the first few episodes.
That touko actually died is a shame. Maybe she will also come back like lisa?
That princess is actually the only reason im still watching ^^

Well basically we're for the final battle now? A year has passed and the situation is more shitty than before.

The otaku parts were funny although they felt sudden '-' the cosplayer is bae.

The beach segment was weird but then again we know Arya does not make much sense on her free time.

The action as usual great (that giant bullet destroying the show-off was gruesome) and I definitely had a genuine laugh at Izzy telling our sadistic fella that he speaks and shits from the same orifice.

So many broken opponents around. How will they ever win I wonder.

I think that was probably meant in a sort of "BB now lives on within me and therefore I can use his techniques" way, or some bs like that.
