I was not expecting the man service this episode with the main cast in towels lol

Not going to lie, this episode probably legit had the most bath time. A good time for everyone to get more relaxed. On the other hand, it looks like Anna is ready for just about anything in her way. She kinda killed the mood this episode though. What a cliffhanger!

Super disappointing fight.
The "comedy" has completly ruined Haos character and all the mystique he should have had.
Also the way characters keep appearing and interrupting fights is super predictable at this point.

Can we still appreciate this twist where main cast is made to fight foreign powers who are trying to interfere in the main plot or fights?
I don't remember on top my head another series who tried to do this other than HunterXHunter when Phantom Troupe tried to embark to Greed Island but was repelled.

At this stage, all Shaman Fights are just gonna look the same, there's no more hoping this show will ever be justice to the manga, other than being the reboot of a complete adaptation.

Lyserg is back from hell, and this denounces the entire Shaman Fight for the main event to take over: the Five Warriors (Yoh, Ren, Horohoro, Chocolove and Lyserg) vs. Hao. Their armored Over Souls with their respective High Spirits are the final stage to decide who is the Shaman King.

Of course, Hao being all casual from Yoh's coffee shop session the last episode, and now the onsen with the reveal of the phantom ancient underwater continent civilization of Mu. But there's Manta's father Oyamada leading the sea fleet calvary charge, and they have to clear that before they can continue the Shaman Fight there, and this is the only time that both friends and enemies work together to clear a common enemy.

Finish the military off, take this as practice, then continue the Shaman Fight.

Comparisons will happen with the 2000's adaptation, but the original took a nosedive with questionable ideas that made the story worst - not that the original anime ending was any good as well - and a rushed pacing - which was different from early episodes, in the manga this last arc started to feel rushed as well.

I don't remember the manga being such a dull mess. I think it did become cluttered and hard to be invested in but not to this degree.

Now that I think about it, it's pretty similar to FMA. First adaptation diverted from the manga but was more enjoyable than more faithful but boring second adaptation (putting aide that pile of garbage of a movie of course). FMA manga got really boring towards the end as well.

Hao's basically the epitome of omnipotent to the point where no shaman seems to be able to stop him. Yet he needs all that help to deal with a few civilian ships and soldiers? That's some mental gymnastics there.

On a sidenote - jfc, I wish other series with a bunch of boys applied so much casual nudity as this one.

If the first 10 episodes I've suffered through before dropping it are any indication, Brotherhood deserves all the shit it can get.

It's OKAY, it was wrong of me to judge other people's bad taste. My apologies.

Even if you are a hipster to judges anime based on their popularity it's OKAY as long as you're pretending to have fun.

Oh sorry, I didn't notice you couldn't read English properly. I should have been specific and said you rate your anime inversely proportionally to their popularity. Popular anime = bad, unpopular anime = good. That's how hipsters usually do things.

We can stop this now, go back to watching bad anime and pretending you like them, I recommend Mars of Destruction, truly an underrated gem of a bygone era. Stop bothering me too, my original post wasn't even aimed at you.

How I rate FMAB is completely irrelevant to its popularity, I rated it low cuz it's a shitty show, no more no less. But I guess that's something you are unable to fathom.

Since the only way you can think of opinions differing from yours is "bad" and people not liking a specific popular show you can only explain as hating BECAUSE they are popular, the wisest thing I can do is to apply "do not feed the troll" policy, so I'm going to end this here and stop "bothering" you as you wish.

Is interesting how Hao over the series was toned down about his personality. I feel that if was early episode Hao, by now half of the cast would be dead, just by having ill thoughts.

Was funny all the moments that someone was sneaking behind to surprise each other.

I wonder if by the end of the series, Mikihisa get his clothes back.

Jeanne really still like her iron maiden. For some reason.

Just caught up with the series and... man, the absolute state of this pacing.

What the flying fuck was up with that conclusion to a fight that had been anticipated for so long? And then they were just chilling in a bath while a hidden continent was revealed non-challantly and Manta's father is involved somehow? And these are only the main questions I had, there are many more to count properly.

From what I have been reading from the comments so far, the finale will probably be as rushed as the majority of the episodes feel, and that's a disappointment to say the least. But I'm already here so I might as well watch it.

more like, the only reason i even started (and didn't drop) this was because i liked the original as a kid
that doesn't change the fac that every single one of the 4 seasons it has aired so far, it's been one my lowest in terms of enjoyment lol
something is wrong when i like dolls frontline (without playing the game), kenja no deshi and slow loop, a lot more than one of my childhood memories lol
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices)

What with this turns of events? i dunno if this is an interesting one or not.
why ren vs yoh team got this anti climatic ending?
yoh gonna kill people? what is going on with this story?

really don't know anymore if i even care anymore.
the fact that the story didn't delivered good conclusion to the yoh vs ren battle is the little of it.
this anime is just a mess.

wth was going on after Lyserg interrupted Ren and Yoh's fight.
Oh, so Manta's dad's the villain now? After everything Hao did to most of the character's families? Are Maiden and Ghandara ok with this bizarre alliance against non-Shamans?
