----------------------------------------
Mmk, so episode 5 is out (subbed by Ayako). This episode was alright, just more of Layfon being stupidly overpowered and such while the rest of the people were shown to be useless. Whatever, I enjoyed it.

Though I've been wondering about what the engrish parts at the beginning of the recent episodes have to do with the rest of the show. Meh, they'll probably connect the dots at some point later on.

Felli disapproves of this thread.

Among the faults, I don't care, I liked this episode. Though Nina's starting to annoy me more than ever, and the Military Arts department isn't all it's cracked up to be if they can't handle the Filth Monsters (what if Layfon hadn't been there, I doubt Felli would've put in the effort if he hadn't gone to her).



And looks like harem next week.

I totally agree with you guys. They should really fix the English parts lol... it's almost like they want it to sound cool but honestly I would rather they do that part in Jap.

I think your forgetting that he was originally one of the 12 Heavens-Blade wielders. He quite and ran away to try and live his life as a normal person. So it's really no surprise that he's super powerful where as everyone else in the city is weak. They are, after all, just students.

yeah it makes sense that he's strong and all. if he still had his old weapon I'd imagine he'd be even more imba. I guess they'll slowly reveal his past and all. I like where he went to sleep at the end though.

Layfon looked pretty darn cool when he was younger. The engrish parts still make me cringe, but not enough to detract me from my enjoyment of this series. Layfon just scored a nice place to sleep =P.

The captain tells him that he did a good job.. he just killed the whole army and the mother.. under 5 minutes.. i mean Duh!

The engrish parts are getting crazier.. this time it wasn't that funny

Next ep looks like more Felli action, which is always a good thing!

I found the imbalance of military authority to be quite realistic.

Experienced Vet: You have to avoid this battle, it's suicide!

Unproven Cadet with Many Issues to Prove: Stand aside, coward!

The realistic part is that the guy who really understood the situation was totally ignored by the command structure.

The unrealistic part was that he managed to save the day, but I liked that anyway. Now if his blonde captain had been a little more humble, perhaps fewer people would have died, but hey...

Agree :P but yeah we had the 1min Shinji-Layfon. Counting that Layfon is used to Filth monsters just surprises me that, some episodes before he needed help and now he rapped all the babies and their mom... And spent less than 5 minutes outside (Its amazing that when he runs out its deep night and when he comes back its a fully bright day, can he create time paradoxes?)

Still Decent episode.

If he had acted sooner, several meaningless deaths could have been prevented.

Well, back then he still seemed to be a rookie, so it can be assumed that he is stronger now. Moreover we don't know if that mother monster wasn't a weaker type of filth monster than the one he fought back then. Since he had an area of effect weapon it's not wonder he claimed he could kill any number of babies. I mean those are babies. Babies are always considerably weaker than the adult versions.

Well, episode was ok. Nothing special but I had a good time during his interactions with Felli and that shy girl.

Also take into account there where 3 of the 12 Heavens-Blade wielders fighting the monster from the past. I think it's safe to say the monster he fought in the past was far stronger then the monster he fought in this episode.

This was a quite stale episode. EasyBake is a little to terse and all over the place for me, and BlondeCaptain is especially annoying, going from one extreme (resentful) to another (caring) like a light switch.

It reminds me of the first 10 episodes or so of Rurouni Kenshin, where he's pretty much 300 levels above everyone else.
Still, it's funny how a bunch of platooners got eaten cuz fon-fon couldn't decide if he wanted to burn those 500 calories or not.
That said, OMFG FELLI PLEASE GET IN MY BED NOW.

Felli is so much cuter than Nina.

Other than that, he isn't overpowered. If I get it right, the strongest (or one of the strongest) fighters against filth monsters are 12 heaven blades(something like that), and he used to be one of them. So it is only natural he is xxx times stronger than normal students. Also, the monster they were fighting in ep1 is regenerating and way way stronger than any of the monsters here. It was clear that no matter how much they damage it, it is still able to regenerate, so even elite fighters were in trouble.
Here it was clearly low-level creature, therefore it didn't represent that much of a trouble for Layfon.

More LayfonxFelli please :p

Well Layfon seems to have divereted away from the "I wanna get away from my past", but it looks like he's actually going to continue to fight to survive. Hope it doesn't make things to serious with him tho. Everything does need to chill so that a good ep is more enjoyable.

Somehow I think this inner struggle went by far too easily.
So now our overpowered super hero ready to slay any monster that may be out there to tiny bits has nothing more to make him hold back.

Makes me kind of loose my hopes for the coming episodes, bleh.

The engrish parts might be a flashback of what happened before their world became like that since there were still tall buildings during the engrish parts and it feels like it was some sort of metropolitan. Give it a couple more episodes and it will just connect.

Can't be true, I've said positive things about Maria Holic, gushed about Toradora for at least 10 episodes, talked about how I liked last weeks Bleach since it had Kisuke in it, and in this show stated that I like the SD stuff. These are all shows in your watching list. I've also spoken well of a lot of shows that you aren't watching. But as far as your perspective is concerned, you must not be paying attention.

Yeah that annoys me too. Let's hope they will put some order to the mess in future episodes.

All i have to say about this is. Layfon get your ass moving you idiot!! Who cares about your problems and why you came to this town. People are fucking dying there.
Really the guy could save in 5 minutes all of them but hey let's sit and think about it while they are getting eaten by huge giant monsters. Am sure they have no meaning or people that care about them. They are not even second characters in the show anyway.
And lol at the sunrise after five minutes.

I came to Zuellni so I don't always have to be strong ~ Layfon.
Will I find my own path? ~ Layfon.

"SO WHAT?"
Hey Nina, do me a favor and go die yourself lol. Infuriating character 101.
Wow it's her first time seeing these pollutant beasts too wow. I have a feeling Layfon's gonna have to save these useless asses.

"Geez you are much too of a kind-hearted person." ~Felli Yea this quote basically sums up the show. The show will be centered on his altruism.
