This episode felt uncomfortable tbh especially with that naked dude tied up in the bed. Looked wrong in so many ways...

It seems there's still a lot of bullying and intimidation in this show.

As long as those adults are in charge, these kids won't ever feel free.

So Shian is being whipped because he thinks he's atoning for his sins. Two weeks in solitary changed Hibiki quite a bit. He fought some guys dirty and is working with Hoku to do something.

Somehow this episode felt less horrible than the first 7. I suppose that's something at least. ╮( ¬ 、 ¬ )╭

Also, Hibiki's new eyes.

I was hardly trying to put the stuff I like in balance with all the bad execution, animation and everything else. Unfortunately, even though I do enjoy some aspects of this anime, I just can't see how could I rate this higher than 4/10 when it will end.

The little dipshit still hasn't learned her lesson. Fortunately, Hibiki 2.0 was there to save the day. Also several dudes fighting one guy are complaining about fighting dirty. That's a classic. Then the Loli wanted to patch him up at the place where Shiori puked in his mouth. Good memories.

He plans to get the Imouto to cooperate with him.

The Dominatrix let the old dude die, because he only left her the school, which she then turned into her Dominatrix Utopia. And Shian lets himself be dominated by her to make up for past sins. Ehhhmmm, okay.

Exactly what I'm thinking. How could someone become strong with just 2 weeks of Push-ups and Sit-ups?? Is he Saitama or what?

Sooo...the main character went Kane(dgy). Sudden badass mode in 1 ep without any buildup...same thing.
I don't think him targeting peoples' joints is anything strange. I think any idiot like me who thinks about it, can easily do it, as long as I'm willing to fight dirty.
What does the drawing on the wall mean? Did he draw it to psychologically aggravate him?

I can't continue watching this show anymore. Every episode I always end up frustrated because of how stupid the characters are, and the animation is so unbearable. Sucks as hell that the studio behind this was the same studio who's behind Centaur no Nayami which I think had a good animation quality. Jeez. What the hell happened with this anime's animation?

Dropped at 8th episode. 4/10.

P.S. This is not worse than Ousama Game. In fact, Ousama Game is the worst thing that happened to this season. Lmfao.

Pretty much my thoughts,but it's mainly due to the awful execution that I can't give it more than a 4,I'm even considering a 3 now...

Did you guys even watch the episode? It was literally just explained in the previous episode too, he was athletic. But this time He fought dirty, he didn't overpower them coz he's still weak bcoz of solitary. The push-ups and sit-ups was for the long term. His fight this episode was him being a little witty, you should've known that by now (except he was an idealistic bum until now)

I'm not trying to justify this shitty anime but come on guys, you two sound like bandwagon haters

I'm not hating nor am I a hater, in fact I'm glad that we finally got to see some developments but he's only been 2 weeks in solidarity, did some push-ups and sit-ups then suddenly he can pull out moves like that? I understand that he's an athlete (if I'm not mistaken he's a runner?) but that kind of sport don't teach Karate moves, even his appearance changed within just 2 weeks.

@TsundeReaper I'm not hating either, I'm just making fun of this anime which is a big difference. Just exactly like what Eruto is saying, An Runner cannot make that kind of moves, hell he even had unbelievable reflexes after just doing 2 weeks of Push-ups and and Sit-ups.

But he did get punched a couple of times before he adapted to it

And also hitting someone to the groin, crotch, eyes, attacking the joints, pretty obvious weaknesses, you don't really have to be that smart or even know karate to do that

But I do agree that he's stupidly strong which had nothing to do with him being a runner

This is so bad it makes me laugh!
Looks like Hibiki became a totally different person huh!
LOL at all the boys going upside down because Instructor Shian is deeply impressed with Hibiki!
3/5.

"He totally changed" reminded me the same scene in Parasyte. Compare those two... Here the buildup is artifical. The guy was training hard and playing dirty and that was okay, highest time. But it was a little overdone. Sad, was not a bad idea. But on the other hand those guys were destroyed by some girls, so maybe they are wimps.

Why is everyone a big bully in this school... It is supossed to be school for internet/mobile addicts not some bullies. Where are the instructors? I expected more people like glass-eyed wimp.

I kind of like Shian character. He is the most complex one so far and he has quite a decent side story.

The little girl is annoying, they really should stop with this bullshit.

So, uhh, did they just drop what happened between the headmistress and instructor Ryo? Did she kill him, sleep with him, or what?

To be honest, I think his sudden transformation can be justified with four main reasons:
1. He's always been naturally athletic.
2. It was said he's always had great reflexes thanks to gaming (and to a lesser extent, maybe he learned self-defense through some video games.)
3. His vigorous workout regime while incarcerated (could have been more than sit ups and push ups, we don't know).
4. More than anything, unlike before he now has the willingness to fight and be merciless and dirty (If you've seen the anime Katanagatari, you would know how removing a clause like this can drastically change a character.)

Considering the above, his transformation was not sudden or out of the blue enough to upset my suspension of disbelief, though he's still made a lot of questionable decisions up until now.

That`s actually true. So far he has not shown any super-human abilities so I am okay with it. Moreover, those guys were wrecked by the strong girls so it is not like they are athlethic or something. If MC is stronger than Shin`s bodyguards then I will call it bullshit, but so far he has owned some fodder guys.

Yeah, even from my point of view, I can't see him taking down Shin's bodyguards; maybe, just maybe if it's one at a time then maybe, but still.
I more or less see him forming a faction to counter Shin's posse and once their goons are having at each other, Shin will likely fight against his guards one at a time. It is not impossible to take them down if Shin uses wits rather than skill or strength, and a lot more believable. I would prefer to see that over just a fist fight with them.

meh. so now he's being a tough guy? tbh it was better when he was a "dog", it was cringe but more entertaining. it made the show hard to watch but in a "it's so bad it's good" way. now it's just mediocre school story with too many fighting scenes
