Nice wrap up episode with some ass kicking dished out by Michiko. I am glad that Michiko is finally able to show that she truely cares about Hatchin as more than just a link to her old lover.

I'm really glad that the show has gotten back on track story wise. Really good episode that wasn't sparing on comedy either.

Yep; compared to other Manglobe show, it clearly misses that, and a coherent plot too... Don't really know what to expect now, I'm quite dissapointed by the general direction of the show after two very good first episodes.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

xD This episode was amazing. The audience were quite laid back though. You'd think people would leave angrily for such a thing, but I guess the comedy duo was too hard to pass up. xP

Now that was the best episode yet! I was initially expecting the whole series to be on par with this level of enjoyment. But, a few incredible episodes here and there is nothing to complain about. Unfortunately the plot still feels...oh I don't know how to describe it...choppy, out of place -- something along those lines.

I wasn't expecting such a lighthearted second half; essentially turned into a farce there with the events leading up to and including the bullfight. Still awesome regardless though, I needed a good laugh this early in the morning.

Another really cool episode here, nice to see Michiko and Hatchin really connect at the end.
Lmao at that guy who kept getting kicked in the face, and Michiko bullfighting, I wanted to see Vasili get gored by the bull.

When Hatchin entered the arena I really cracked up. Seeing her getting chased by the bull was hilarious... Michiko can kick some serious ass btw O_o

Liked the bull fight. I'm glad they finally made michiko actually strong. the past few eps they have made her really weak which is total opposite from how she was actin in prison and that 1st ep..

I loved it when Michiko swung to get Hatchin out of the bull pit and missed.

You can't call this fanservice, Michiko bend over to pick up her glasses and we didnt even got a shot of it. I thought it was pretty lame she got whooped by the old lady, though.

One of the reasons why I like this studio. Brilliance. Great ep. Thought the pace was getting a bit slow but finally got some good action in it.

love how this show can have some kick-ass fight scenes (in this case the bull fight, and the mini sword fight with the fat guy) then go into humour and then a nice touching scene at the end with michiko and hatchin :) loving the series so far, hope it keeps on par, so far not disappointed at all..

I don't know why, but with all the characters, and mob bosses and gangs etc, it reminds me of a weird version of GTA? But with a hot woman as the main protagonist xD

MAL is far from being my primary site for literature, which is why I’ve stopped doing single-chapter updates. Baka-Updates and two French sites are far superior—more detailed, complete, and less restrictive. They're perfect for manga, light novel, and book collectors like me, making the process much less stressful and tiring. -g-

The leader of Fantasma or whatever was a terrible character, and I mean that in the sense that the writing for him was bad . . . Super sloppy with almost no consistency.

Anyways . . . I actually liked this episode despite that, starting to like this series more and more.

I laughed when Michiko missed Hatchin on her first swing. Who cares if there's a female matador and a ladle girl in the bull ring? It's entertainment and the people were entertained :D

So many gunshots missed Michiko without much reason. She's clearly not on par in the badass action hero department with someone like Mugen from Samurai Champloo or Revy from Black Lagoon, so her not getting injured at all in this episode just looked cheesy. And there seems to be so much inconsistency with how agile and good at fighting she is. One scene she'll get beaten easily by someone and the next she'll come out without a scratch. Makes it difficult to take any of the action seriously. And the swinging on the curtain through the middle of the arena didn't make any sense either. I was hoping this show's action would be as gritty as the setting but it kind of seems like a bad joke so far.

I'm going to stick with it for now and hope it gets better, but the inconsistencies make it difficult to care for any of the characters and actually be invested in what goes on.

Not much to said besides the fact so far the anime is really distinct from anything I have seen, it has a very unique nature to it, and deals with certains themes, in ways you usually dont see. That is not enough to qualify an anime, but makes more refreshing seeing something like this, instead of the usual tropes.

I'm kind of having a hard time following the main plot, regarding the gangs and all. It's still entertaining and I have a vague idea why things happen the way they do, but in this case I actually would need more exposition and handholding, which is rare. That scene in the arena was worth the wait though, silly as it was, it was quite satisfying.

Didn't really care for this at all, the whole thing with the bullfight was a little too silly to me. Kind of let me down after the promise of the first half of this arc.
