----------------------------------------
Welp, they didn't waste time this episode explaining some of the abilities of the Night Raid.

Bulat is awesome there. He looks so different in that wanted poster :p
I notice they added the anime original part with Mein trying to shoot Tatsumi after he walked in on her. They did adapt the part of their 'date' though. And although I find Mein annoying sometimes, her abilities are pretty awesome.

The operation/date between Mein and Tatsumi was adapted scene by scene from chapter 4. They added some scenes when Mein tried to shoot Tatsumi and left a hole in their base after he accidentally walked in on her. I almost thought he would of died

I was referring to the scene that they omitted last week, but I'm watching it now.....They DID add it to this episode like some of us thought they would :DDDD

I always thought Rabac's way of killing seemed quite torturous, to have strings digging into your body like that, providing a slow, painful death. Ouch.

I really like the name Pumpkin for an imperial arm,
that fight with the koukenji master was weak, I like last weeks fight better
(I did lol at the struggle between him and tatsumi though).
Average episode.

BTW: totally agree with lubbock "This job really sucks at times like this".

Wow so much bloodshed in here, it feels so good for some reason, just hope they don't censored stuff in the series. The action scenes are entertaining to watch :D.

Night Raids are pretty much an OP squad, or team, they are pretty merciful tbh. I like the interactions between Mine and Tatsumi, lucky that he got a nice view from Mine.

Wow the Minister and his lord are really corrupted, not showing any feelings to those people, instead they are a-holes. Another villain coming buy at the end, nice decapitation slice :D.

Is it weird I find this anime cute in a grotesque sort of way? I don't even know if that made sense.
It was an ok episode.

Eh sorry but that belongs to Hunter x hunter :3 I don't think any shonen can beat that.


Ahh Tastsumi was so cute dreaming about Braht! xD
I like Mein's character a lot and her power is nice! Really enjoying this series, oh oh and Braht's design when he was in the army is awesome! Dat hair! He's so HANDSOME! XD

I was expecting this anime to be a lot darker, but it's actually quite funny. I like it.

Also, Mine is best girl; who doesn't love a "genius sniper" tsundere.

The comedy was nice in this episode.. It is enjoyable alright but I kinda feel this is really generic(like that scene Tatsumi holds a master in Kungfu for so long, like the guy couldn't break free??? omg lame) can't see anything special about this. Well maybe later on this lives up to the hype... really hope so.

The teamwork of all the assassins is very good, it was pretty funny when Tatsumi was with mine buying her all those things. There is a fair amount of comedy so far which I was not expecting but I like it a lot.

Another great episode. Also liked how they added in some scenes like Mine and Tatsumi saving that girl from the bullies. That fight at the beginning was awesome. Night Raid obliterated the invaders. The "mission" with Mine was hilarious.

Was I the only one who thought DBZ when Tatsumi held that guy for Mine to shoot through him?

Overall good episode, though I think they kinda censored that public execution scene, but not too much. Can't wait for next week's ep with the series' first teigu battle.

Yeah I was hoping they'd adapt that too, oh well. Teigu's are introduced now (or Imperial Arms) so things will start heating up. Couldn't remember that Rabac scene from the manga, was that anime-only?

Ah, adaptation is all good, what I meant that there was a scene from a manga where Mine threatened to banish Tatsumi to another manga series using a roulette wheel. :)

he is just a pawn of the true ruler, the prime minister.
it is very similar to the earth king during the avatar series, he didnt know what the heck was going outside his palace on, till they barged in.
or similar to the last few kings of the chinese dynasty, practically the enunches got the power.
or the japanese king (?) didnt play a role during the 2. world war untill reading the capitulation

Ohoo, enemy assassins have infiltrated their territory after sniffing their base's location out.

LOL, at Bulat asking Tatsumi to call him "Bro/Handsome" XD.

That "Incursio" thing was really awesome :O

The coat Tatsumi's wearing reminds of a doctor's lab coat or something lol.

Akame's strikes were so fast they couldn't see her, how awesome is that!

Um... Mine's gun doesn't seem to fit the time period they're in... and of course it disintegrated him lol...

Lubbock didn't fall for her charms, SACRE BLEU, what's happening?!

Tatsumi... I'm starting to fear the fact that you're going down a different path concerning your sexual orientation...

Tatsumi... your leader is trying to make you fall into a trap, I can sense this kind of things...

I won't say "I told you so".

Poor girl T.T

Now that's what I call a serious change of image XD.

This looks like a date/be her gopher kind of thing to be honest.

Mine blushed a lil bit, that's a good thing.

LOL, so the lil kid is the lord and the old guy the minister that gives stinking advice.

Freaking stupid kid that listens to whatever that fat and old minister says. I think that his wife is going to be the minister's dinner or something.

Well... killing that lord was pretty easy it seems.

Awww, Mine had a really sad childhood and past /sad face. Mine... you just had to ruin the moment with your greedy desires?

I was thinking Tatsumi would be able to beat that martial artist on his own... meh... now he's missing some hair lol.

I can't wait for the next episode with the fight against that creepy guy to be out!

Still bad comedic times, still trying to sell its "dark" setting all the while trying to have fluffy slice of life scenes and a loli tsundere.

The action was a nice fix, but is badly interrupted by the comedy.
