| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Eh the fight was okay I guess. Ragna going all out~ I like Noel's guns though. Those looked pretty badass. Poor Noel ;.;. I'm still curious about Ragna's past with those flashbacks. |
 |
| Wait..what? They rushed through so much in these first two episodes. The fight scenes made up most of the episode... and they weren't even that entertaining. I don't think I'm gonna be able to finish this series. Huge disappointment so far. |
| Ah, fighting games and animation seems to be like oil and water. And Blazblue is one of the few with an in-depth universe and story material - not exactly stellar, but pretty good - so all hope is lost. |
| I guess expecting some explanation was too much for the show. Action is fine, but so is action in WWE and I don't watch it. Dropped. I could explain why drop, but hey, if the show ain't explaining anything, neither will I. |
nina4life said: the only problem with this comment is, you just said WWE had good action, as if having drawn out and completely staged fights is good actionI guess expecting some explanation was too much for the show. Action is fine, but so is action in WWE and I don't watch it. Dropped. I could explain why drop, but hey, if the show ain't explaining anything, neither will I. anyhow, this episode was actually a bit worse than the first, directing was even more all over the place, its rushing through even more material in minimal time, and again im just astonished at how many corners were cut in making it, like they didnt even animate a fucking op. Animation is about as bad but had some bits that were slightly more well animated if only by a tiny bit Episode is about a 2/5 again. I'm sad that im gonna have to see continuum shift butchered soon, oh relius they better not fuck up your magnificence like they fucked up hakuman's badassery |

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 |
| Wtf pacing. Do they intend to take up the majority of the series with Continuum Shift or add Chronophantasma? Welp. |
| Tutturu ~ |
| never played the game.. don't understand anything that is happening.. not enjoying the animation quality.. not expecting anything to be explained/improved.. dropped. |
 |
| There is some good out of this episode though, mainly being that awakening the chaos remix sounds fantastic Actually i may watch this solely for the music remixes, some were meh like jin or under heavens destruction but there are some that sound great like noels and that song that plays as noel saves ragna was excellent, i cant remember what its a remix of though but i swear i hear continuum shit 2's op in it |

| I will post more of my thoughts of this episode later, but for now I will say that the blazblue activation sequence looked like pure shit, its suposed the worlds strongest grimoire and yet still in this episode it didnt feel like it was really strong. |
 |
| *facepalm* The opening uses the same scenes from the first episode. How lazy they can get... Don't know what else to say. Terrible pacing and crappy boring fights. Nice music though. Can't wait to see what they will ruin next. |
 |
| understand why people who have not played the games dropps this xD the game was bad at explaining the story but the anime is much worse at that. the only enjoyments i find is seeing the characters get animated more and the intigration with that awesome soundtrack |
| I... actually liked this episode a lot more than the first. Is it as good as the game? lol to the no, but it's still pretty fun. Also, Noel. That is all. |
 |
| Also parts of this adaption were not even completly faithful to the source material, as far as I remember Ragna was never mentally unstable. Well actually he was in a non cannon bad ending in Calamity Trigger, but overall in the game he is actually fairly strong-willed and never hesitated to kill Nu like he did here. Also Noel was never this happy of saving Ragna like she was here, she saved Ragna unconciously when she went Saya, but after she snapped out of it she was actually confused if anything. The next episode preview with Jin was pure gold, but aside from that this episode was garbage, I hate how they butchered my favourite part of Calamity Trigger (Hakumen vs Ragna fight in the true ending), it was too damn short, the animation was bad, and Unlimited Ragna didnt actually look that powerful. Oh yeah and they still using the shitty amv as the OP |

| How come I enjoyed this episode? Am I the only one? And I played the games. |
Sourire said: never played the game.. don't understand anything that is happening.. not enjoying the animation quality.. not expecting anything to be explained/improved.. dropped. Same here. |
 |
| I'm so glad I got to see my Bakeneko in this episode. <3 Also, Noel and Hazama are the best characters so far haha, loved the episode! |
Mittee said: The entire budget went into the scene of Noel summoning Bolverk. lol thats exactly what I was thinking too. |
|
| No idea what's going on. But I do like the ending. |

| Really disappointed with the opening, song is nice, but scenes are just from the 1st episode, lazy af. :( Ending is spot on doe. The episode as a whole wasn't that bad for me, Hakumen is a beast. |
 |
| I thought it was better than the first episode, at least theres improvement, hoping it gets even better from here. |
| you know that bolverk scene was pretty well animated, maybe, just maybe, Will have at least one attack thats decently animated oh who am i kidding, im just looking foreword to the remixes |

| I have no idea what this anime is even about. The action is ok, but I am so confused. May drop it next week if I am still lost >.<. |
"When everyone else is about to give up, the fighter who becomes the role model, is the true Leader."  |
| Even though the plot isn't explained properly, I can pretty much roughly understand what's going on. Although the pacing is really fast. I am still watching it because the character designs are good in my opinion, although the animation can still improve hopefully. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| another meh episode. probably will drop it soon. not much enjoyment for me sofar. |
| Whoa Hakumen!!! Noel !!!!!!! Amazing transformation Ragna!!!!!!!!! |
| 00:47 dat crappy drawing+animation 03:57 Silvertime!!! 10:09 hai、Lord Silvertime。 16:48 Gin's opened one of his −＿− eyes Horrible direction, crappy drawing, crappy fighting scenes... 3/10 for this ep. Such a disappointing adaptation, would've dropped it already if i wasn't a fan of the videogames. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| The fight scenes are very average tbh.And that pacing,talk about rushed. So far the only interesting aspect of this show and the main reason I'm still watching is cause of Noel. I'll admit she was pretty badass with her guns though.Although I probably only like that scene because Noel was in it. Still interesting in Noel and Ragna's past but can pretty much already tell I'ma drop this next episode. Find more enjoyment in the OP than the entire first and second episode. |

 |
| I got my Makoto, if only for two seconds. That's all I wanted. Everything else about this episode was just icing on the cake. |
| no idea whats going on and not enjoying |
| NOEL HNNGH I have a feeling only the people who played the game are only HALF enjoying this, and I'm the only one enjoying it :( |

| well, it seems like, Arc system works made the first 2 episodes (calamity trigger) as the prologue for Alter Memory Rachel did said that time has begun to flow. played the game, watched the anime, i like both of them :3 just disappointed with no ice car yet, and no Ragna's astral heat black onslaught while defeating hakumen. Dramatic scene and dem' bgm when noel saved ragna was good. loved awakening the chaos remix as well :3 i'm waiting for the "old man's tale" scene, mah' best scene in continuum shift :D :D :D (not going tell what's that is, gonna be a spoiler) i'll just keep my hopes up for Alter Memory :v |
RageGoriaOct 15, 2013 8:48 PM
| I thought this episode was a ton better then the first, although I didn't think the first episode was that bad, as to my theory as to why this feels so rushed is I believe they are kind of just recapping Calamity trigger, kind of like if you took the short recap version of Calamity Trigger from Continuum Shift and animated it, I'm sure they will start to fully flesh things out for Continuum Shift, they are probably just trying to get people caught up so they aren't completely lost =o And I thought the animation was honestly a lot better in this episode, I'm hoping they make a habit of that |
DJIzzyIzzyHitler said: hazama is great and all....but he didnt do anything yet, like hes had what maybe 3 lines of dialogue so far in both episodes That's exacly why I said that, at least he still "untouched" lol Lets see when they reach continuum shift. |
| I like the game but this shit is making me bored. Only one more episode and i'll probably drop this too. Noel Vermillion's presence is the only good thing in this show so far <3 |
| Will there be obligatory beach episode? :V I'm wondering if they will make it to the Chronophantasma at this rate... That episode was quite good better than the first one. If only hakumen vs ragna was longer. But I've got to see a Kokonoe so I'm happy :p (she will be playable in Chronophantasma... Yay) |
| Since the anime has not explained shit I think I will explain here myself why Nu is so obsessed with Ragna in case some people who didnt play the games are interested |

| Well it seem like Noel also got her memory too, does that mean both are the same? Pff, this anime it's not that bad for dropping. O_o |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| I kinda bit confused with what is going on !! |

melina_putri said: yah that one i wont bitch about, that was definitely done on purposeAiCon said: I can't believe they recycled the same scene with the crazy bitch fighting Ragna. It's not exactly same scene, it's implied they were stuck in a time loop and Noel breaks the loop somehow by saving Ragna from falling. also to those people dropping unless they explain stuff next week, just do it now, its not going to explain shit other than reveal its obvious villain |

However at this point I dont expect them to explain anything about the war against the black beast and the NOL and thats exactly what this show needs right now. The show needs to do some world buliding to establish the setting. |
