THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
So Seigi is actually ready to fight someone as deadly as Cal..?

I guess he's trying to honor BB's memory after everything they've been through. Only the action parts managed to entertain me this episode. The clash of ideals isn't what I found too appealing by this point of the show.

Seigi really improved though...
Izzy's fight felt really meh imo.

A battle between "The strongest of the powerless" and a "Kid". Battle against sub-boss first
Well that's just getting more and more creepy. Blood and body slice apart more frequent. And some alien stuff
Gotta take that Quote by the Princess about the "Truly strong person and the weak person".

Yeah, until now "Taboo Tattoo" deserves the facepalm award of the year.
Now they come with nuclear bombs out of nowhere. Oh, excuse me, ONE nuclear bomb already planted and just waiting to go off.
I will give this Anime immediately a 10/10 is the bomb goes off and literaly kills everybody.
That is the only good ending i see coming for this tragedy.
But hey, gotta remember one RANDOM line that came in this episode: "May the force be with you" just because the guy used a glowing lipstick as a weapon.

The best parts of this episode were the battles, however the conclusions were badly written, seigi vs cal was by far the best. Izzy's were pathetic however as it was a battle where she seemed to struggle but then somehow one shot two of the main villains. Got to say though that Cal is probably one of the best written female characters in the series, trying to keep herself away from her feelings but subduing to them at the end sadly. The princess is just op and even though Seigi looks dead you can tell he isn't and he better not one shot the princess, if there isn't a loss on the "heroes" side then the fight will be underwhelming.

yeah, the perverted bastard has hopefully died.

yes, the episode had some nice action scenes, but then suddenly a flying "something" appears and commits immediately suicide by flying into the ground. shit!!!

and of course the OP princess will be defeated in the next episode

That moment when I'm more concerned with Tamaki surviving than the main plot. That whole exchange had me in stitches, especially when the sadist dude softened the damage Tamaki took and he's just like "Protagonists defy logic. Hell yeah!" Cal vs Seigi was pretty cool too, but I'm seriously ready for this to be over.

Lmao at that


This episode wasnt bad, i'm even impressed that there wasn't any excesive rush or random cuts between scenes, i think this show depending on the end mayl redeem itself... at least for me

now for the final fight

Tamaki survived this episode? Best thing of this easily. Hope he ends alive at the end too.

I don't know if those random references to Freud are intentional comedy or not, but just cemented the status of the series as best comedy of the Summer.

Kinda sad how they ruined Seigi's cool moment with him being a total loser against the princess. And looks that in the next episode he will win with an asspull, because the princess is so ridiculous OP I don't know how she will be defeated. Unless they use the nuclear bomb on her, of course.

Cannot wait to see how this trainwreck will end. I hope at least the cat loli ends dead in the next episode.

The dead of the bug guy was really random. Well, is not that he was that important or something.

this anime is disgustingly amazing!
main parts for me:
protagonist memer alive and memeing
star wars meme
sad parts for me:
another guy just getting sliced up
clone girl

Actually super interested in what they are going to decide to do, everything is pretty gross, but the animation is still dope.

Action was good, Everything else sucked. I suppose that was to be expected.

Action direction and animation for all the fights were well done.

That star wars reference out of nowhere. xD
Tamaki nailed his line "Protagonists are people who transcend reason". XD
He and Tom honestly save this show from being worse.

Totally did not like Seigi this episode, Acting like a hotshot haughty kid with nothing but an obsession for revenge. If you ask me he shouldn't have been able to defeat someone like Cal who is far more disciplined. I'm gonna call bullshit on the one shot punch at the end.
While on topic, Cal is definitely one of the better written characters of this show, Her stoic nature and her unwavering loyalty to help Arya make her deserving of some respect and it was pretty cool to see how strong she was even without her ability.

I like Arya as well, Definitely the best character along with Cal. Who cares if the wings are for decoration? It was cool. XD
I hope Arya wins and changes the world, Atleast she has better motives than Seigi. Touko died cause of her stupidity.Sadly there will be some random Deus-ex machina element next episode that makes her lose. :(

The colonel is dying out of nowhere? Was he there in the last episode?
Nuclear bomb? Arya should be OP enough to stop missiles so who cares.

That impaled Seigi. :o

Finale next week. Yay! I can put this behind me.

I barely paid any attention to this episode. It's been one of the most boring shows I've ever seen, and I really feel the need to multitask while watching this show. Honestly, I feel pretty guilty, but I really would like to finish this show and be done with it. I think I'll try and stay focused on the finale next week just to see how this trainwreck ends.

This anime makes Heavy Object look like Shakespeare (Fucking head????)

So this week we were treated to some horrific CGI and more super OP bad guys. Two random cannon fodder guys showed up then got chopped up.

Nice to see Touku gets a mention seeing as she has been forgotten about by MC for the last few eps. I smell a Deus Ex Mechana ending on the horizon.

Seriously this show has been truly awful in every aspect baring animation. Can't wait for it to end next week.

Hmh, I knew this can't be compared with the first three episodes, but I'm not a picky guy so this is acceptable for me. ( At least it is better than Berserk, Qualidea Code )

I think they had no more money after the first episodes

But story wise, it was ok but for it to be better it should have been 24 episodes


But we all know before he dies his gf will show up in a dream and he"ll get the"power" then the old man will bomb them for no reason and big guy dies saving them

Tamaki's the most likeable character in this show. Same can't be said for any of the bad guys, except for Cal.

Tamaki's powers are pretty impressive and was dominant against his opponent who's more interested in getting the 'D', if you know what I mean. =P

Apart from that, the script still feels tacky and the fighting animation still looks good at times, but very stiff as well. =/

Nothing will save this show from a bad overall reception, even if they dedicated half of the last episode with the princess getting her head punched and kicked endlessly. At least Il is out of commission, so she I hope she doesn't make another asspull appearance to assist her beloved princess.

It's kind of sad that the only thing I care about at this point is whether or not Tamaki makes it back to his fiancee alive.

This episode felt really rushed, but this whole anime has been a mess and I have no clue what's going on anymore.....and frankly, I don't care. Lets see what kind of asspull Seigi has in store for us in the finale.

Something happening, but don't think that at this point i should even care, kinda whatever just 1 episode left. Don't know if it's cause of it's so rushed (don't think if it was more detailed it would change much) but feels like that last 2 episodes we just got completely new mc and i don't think that it's right, but again whatever ...

I know that beginning bit was suppose to be cool and all. But it wasn't. However, I will admit, that the bit about snakes in dreams got a brief chuckle out of me. Anyway, The black dude has an invisible light saber.

Now then, first part of this boss battle is against Cal, whose name I remember only because it's really freaking easy. Second part, first form of the princess is... a butterfly... with lots of lasers... and rock spikes... Then it becomes a giant rock monster that is also a throne. Next episode the boss enters it's third form... or some crap like that.

I kinda feel if the comedy wasn't... as forced, and this was 2 cour's it could have been a /much/ better show. But, well, that's not going to happen. But kinda glad it's over in a few days. I enjoyed it a fair bit... just it needed to decide if it was going to be serious or just a comedy. As it... kinda seems it would do well if it sticked with one, yet it tried a weird mash of both, at an exceptionally fast pace.

And this annoying fuckhead Lurker finally died. I would have been rather disappointed, if this show concluded without him kicking the bucket.

The Colonel had even a nuke stationed there, just in case. Well, like the great soldier and philosopher Sousuke Sagara said: when in doubt, blow it up.
