| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Dat fan service. I wasn't expecting it this episode. http://i.imgur.com/yWEb0lJ.png The episode felt too silly for me. Noel looked cute though. Faye-Ling looks like she is having way too much fun. Poor Ragna, the guy just never gets a break. |

| aaaaaaannnnnd there goes the improvements this series was having last episode I cant believe I have to say this but....worst episode so far, they somehow made a episode not only worse than the 2nd but actually considerably worse, from the forced fanservice, to the awful plot, to making ragna act more like jin or horribly throwing in exposition where it doesnt make sense, and even with its pathetic attempts at exposition shit doesnt make sense. And seriously the fact that this was going anime only could have been its saving grace in explaining and pacing but the horrendous execution makes me want to puke and throws away that potential. Every second of every minute of this episode was trash, Fuck this anime, CP cant come soon enough to wash away the taste of this trash ep 1/5 Series bumped down to a 2/10 |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
melina_putri said: I think hes referring to the actual filler fanservice as In the entire sauna scene having no importance other than eating up time. Doesnt matter if its approved or not its still garbage filler in one of the worst adaptions of the past decadeRegulusZero said: So I thought this adaptation was bad before they started adding filler fanservice, but now, it's just kind of hit critical levels of "fuck you source material". Bad pacing and severe mood whiplash, on top of reusing Noel's Bolverk animation. I'm not sure if it can be called filler fanservice. According to the BlazBlue Radio show, it was said the anime is going to adapt the games with anime original scenes added. The game producer is also supervising this, so any changes and additions is most likely need to be approved by him first. |

| Well there was the traditional Onsen episode Didn't care about the rest |
| I'll give this episode praise for two things, Rachel in her swimsuit and Platinum's appearances. Everything else is forgettable to me. |
 |
| Man that beginning and hot spring scene, what the fuck, that Tao cat character is really starting to annoy me. Second part of the episode was ok due, liked that little girl with 3 persons in 1 body I guess. |
 |
| wtf this episode. |

| Aside for Tager make appearance nothing happen here. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| I highly doubt that the hot spring scene is in the game. I haven't played the game, but I have no doubt that most of this episode (and possibly the series so far) had anything useful occur. , yet somehow I am still entertained. |

| Did they really put hotsprings service into my Blazblue?.... Fuck this director. |
| I know it was just random fanservice, but wasn't the whole point of them going to the hotsprings was to heal ragna's wounds? |
| I'm dropping this. After playing through half of Calamity Trigger it's even more clear how shitty this show is. I'll stick with the games. |
| Nothing much but I still find it interesting. Seeing Rachel in her swimsuit made me happy. It looks good on her. I sense some jealousy on her when she notice how happy Ragna is with the other girls. Shes needs to be bit more honest to herself. Next week is going to be back on action now. |

| haaa.....it was rather easy to like or hmm for this ep. |
| Onsen scene. Anyway, the Calamity Trigger selection OST gave me nostalgia. One of my favorite OSTs on Blazblue. |
 |
| I'm pretty sure Tao and Litchi are the only reason I still watch this. I wanna see that Bang guy too. My friend's description of bara guy whose clothes burn off sounds good to me. Noel is so fucking irritating omfg. Why does she have to be a main character? She's so whiny and pathetic - how did she even become a soldier or whatever she is? I'm so glad Ragna ditched her ass. Honestly I have... no fucking idea what is going on 90% of the time. I've never played the game, but I watched an episode with a friend who has and even he had no fucking idea what was happening, so it probably doesn't help. Before this anime I'd never even heard of the game and I haven't heard of it since then either, so... I dunno where I'd even buy it - I don't even know what console it's on. In other news though, I am definitely calling him Ragna the Loli-lover-edge forever now. |
| That onsen scene made more sense than rest of the episodes combined. |

itran1 said: oh dont give that bullshit excuse, for starters we cant tell if we hate it until we watch it. And whats the point of anyone dropping this anymore since most of the people putting up with this garbage are fans of the game seeing how big a trainwreck this series would be. we are getting what we expected so why leaveWell i liked it. If you hate it stop watching it. Simple as that. No need to complain. Just leave and don't come back. |

| That fanservice. Faye-Ling have a perfect boobs :3 Platinum the Trinity told Ragna that he must not fight with Terumi because he can't win with his Azure Grimiore. Why's that? Let's see in the next ep. |
| I plan to keep watching it though the ep was silly. As to some of the people Q_Q ing on the fanservice, what anime doesn't have at least one ep like that now days? Get used to it. Enjoy the show. |
Ambient_ said: Did they really put hotsprings service into my Blazblue?.... Fuck this director. The existence of the Kaka hot spring is from the game and novels, sure the scene isn't from the game but the hot spring isn't anime original. The it heals both body and Soul is literally, it really does heal the soul as well. |
| Those scenes in the hot spring were funny. |

| My personal opinion is that this show is so far alright. It's not great, but definitely not horrible like some people have been saying. Art is meh? Yes. OST is mostly reused from tha games? Yes. Onsen episode? What show doesn't have that these days lol (besides, dat Rachel in a swimsuit was worth it and you know it!). The characters are doing what they are supposed to be doing and the plot is moving on nicely though. So the show is alright with me. |
| Whoa, didn't expect an onsen episode in this anime. Oh well, it at least revealed that Ragna is saved by Rachel and she is also responsible for placing the Azure Grimoire on Ragna. Still really have no idea what Rachel's role in the BlazBlue universe, rather than just being a powerful being here. |

| So they rushed the Calamity Trigger plot to show us THIS?! Haha, that's hilarious! I can't believe they are able to screw up the games' storyline that much |
| Too many haters. If you don't like it then stop watching it. As for me, meh, I don't care. Gonna continue watching this anyways. |
Shino-rin said: Thats honestly the most entertaining part of it, i mean it hurts as a fan but its kind of entertaining to see how badly they fuck this up. Which is probably why this episode cause me to get so mad, the entertainingly bad aspect of it was gone and just replaced with painfully bad.I can't believe they are able to screw up the games' storyline that much Lets say hypothetically theres a god i see this anime as punishment for me ragging on the dangan ronpa anime so much, it may have beena poor adaptation, but it could have been so much worse after seeing this Hey on the bright side 6 episodes left for improveme- yah i cant even say that with a straight face. Lets prepare for the clusterfuck-shift approaching, at least relius might create some scenes fun to watch |

| Shitty fanservice episode I guess but I must admit Tao's seiyuu got some talents there. She and Sugita are truly hilarious. |
 |
| This episode was funny. Annoying with cat girl but I can handle it |
 |
| hahahaha, what a surprising episode with all those fanservice scenes.. i enjoyed it though- i mean, Rachel in a swimsuit? fuck yeah. and of course, Ragna The Loli-lover-edge. |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| At first i didn't like the whole hot spring nonesense, but half way through i realised, hey, that's supposed to be a gag-reel-route. xD Which makes it actually a very close adaptation of the game. It was actually quite a nice nod to the BlazBlue players, if they actually got the joke. |

JizzyHitler said: I'm not sure what your talking about but theres no gag real involving the springs or any of those characters in said springs, thats completely anime only, Yeah, it's anime only. Since they are not forbidden by law to expand the story, that is what they did. And they did so in the format of a gag reel. |
| Stuff happened I dont know. Didnt like it much |

Walkampf said: just having comedy doesnt mean its a reference to a gag real, blazblue had shit tons of comedy outside of gag reals. What you said makes no senseJizzyHitler said: I'm not sure what your talking about but theres no gag real involving the springs or any of those characters in said springs, thats completely anime only, Yeah, it's anime only. Since they are not forbidden by law to expand the story, that is what they did. And they did so in the format of a gag reel. hell being in a gag real like format would mean they ahve to completely break continuity, like how ever single character shows up to the restaurant noel was cooking at or having jin end up ona island of ranking things he doesnt care about. They completly destroy any form of continuity and hence why they were gag endings, this didnt do that, it was just pandering |

ChronosXIII said: Heres the thing that really got me about that line, ragna never said that in the games, someone else did say that line in the gamesRagna doesn't look too bad with his hair down though, his outburst was kind of stupid. "Don't talk to me with that face! I'm being a big bitch right now!" ....Jin did, they made ragna act like jin, thats what was really infuriating about this episode to me, anime only scenes for a BB adaption sounds like a good idea to me as you can put all the stories into 1 linear progression, however when you fuck up the personalities of the characters so much theres no point |
