| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I'm not used to that OP song yet but damn, dat OST. Oh snap, the manager and trio of girls spotted. Eh, I guess I'll expect more action later on in this show. I'm still getting a bit if T&G vibes though. Hazama needs to relax lol. Superhero on bike was kinda funny even though I admire his determination. |
 |
| I'm wondering how much the show is going to escalate based on the OP and promo art if he's still dealing with these small time crimes right now So that girl from Mineral Miracle has a fondness for old Sentai shows like Masayoshi eh? |
| Umbrellas are srs!!! One of the idol girls- Mari seems to be a big Red Axe fan. I'm interested in seeing how much she (and everyone) will be involved in all of this later on, since I doubt all the remaining 20 episodes will be focused on random "crimes" like these. |
| Hazama's manager is harsh lol. Hmm, Mari recognized the lyrics of the theme song Hazama was singing. Guess she's a fan of the same superhero. I hope they get back to that later on. Decent episode. Hopefully we'll get more action or story development now that Flamenco got some popularity. |
| That was so lol XD Umbrella's are truly serious business hahaha. Loved the OST during the chase scene, but damn no way I could take it seriously lol Dat manager XD...I wouldn't want to get on her bad side XD I didn't expect those 3 girls to be a group of idols. I'm wondering if one of them is Goto's girl friend? And Mari might end up with Hazama? seeing how she likes Red Axe XD |
 |
| Better than the first episode. It seems that the idol will at some point become involved with Hazama in some way and might even find out about Samurai Flamenco. |

| Good episode. Don't get that manager angry. |
 |
| haha, the openings 10/10, The whole show in general has made this my favourite of the season as of this point, It's very funny, it doesn't take itself serious, the art is class A, the ed song is growing on me and Dat Umbrella, I get why others dont like it but it's definitely stood out to me, holy shit that ending left me laughing. |
| You can't help but feel that there is a pinch of thruth in what Hazama says which is partly acknowledged by the show by using the topics he addressed in his conversations with Goto as relevant components of the major conflict in this episode, even though his missions are still laregely played for comedic purposes. |
 |
| The scene where he kept stopping for red lights killed me. lol |

Totally agree, I like seeing things from a different point of view, it's funny when Masayoshi is so serious about this issue, yet at the same time, I found myself thinking, wow, this is so true. But then again, I've honestly never had my umbrella stolen before, nor are there ever places where I could put my umbrella in when I go to restaurants or something. And ooh, the three girls in the ED are actually idols? And one of them is also a superhero otaku like Masayoshi! Looking forward to seeing her, as well as the other two characters. |

Yeah, I believe these scenes are intentionally ambivalent in nature as it point out actually quite trivial things like the way how people put out their trash and puts them into context with a good deal of thoughts. And concerning the umbrella peccadillo it seems like it's a minor offense specific for Japan with how cheap prizes for umbrellas are there. The inclusions of idols makes sense since like Hazama's profession as a model it's not a traditional job and relies heavily on looks and outer appearances. Plus one among them seems to have a similar affinity to superheros. Also, is it just me or did the idols' behaviour seem very staged? It looked like each of the three were assigned a specific persona to play (the meek one, the genki girl). Perhaps a side blow at the idol industry with its manufactured and idealized females? |
|
| I liked how they tied together scenes. Like how it seemed trivial when he was bitching about the trash but then later it showed he had a point when he was cycling and the trash was in the way, although he shouldn't be riding around in a superhero costume in the first place. |
 |
| I love how they took such a trivial thing to most people so seriously. Ahahaha. I thought Hazama would reveal himself as SF... but looks like he hid it, like most superheroes do. Also, they finally revealed the idol group! Looks like Mari is interested in Hazama too. I am guessing, maybe Mari (or the other two girls) might be the girlfriend of Goto. That would be really interesting. I can't wait. |

Oh yeah, I forgot about the trash part too. It was funny to see how the trash that were put out of the street became an obstable to Masayoshi when he was chasing after the train (iirc he went through a neighborhood?). Basically even though they are trivial things, there's always a reason for putting out certain rules like taking out the trash in the morning. Also, it's not just you, you can tell especially by the genki girl, I mean she's probably kind of like that already, but I doubt she's always that upbeat (though I could be wrong). |
| Lol the umbrella chase scene was so great. Awesome episdoe, much better then the first. |
 |
olboyfloats said: The scene where he kept stopping for red lights killed me. lol lol same for me! i kept losing it every time. It's just so funny. I really enjoyed this episode a lot. It was also really cute to see him strengthen himself with the song he was singing. |
| Samurai Flamenco and License-less Rider would make the perfect "hero partnership", seriously. Gosh, I'm liking this anime way more than I thought. |
| Nice episode. |
 |
| "Now, let's go find the one who stole yours!" I'm starting to really like Hazama. This guy is just great! |
| Not bad! I enjoyed it mostly even if some scenes were sort of boring. I like how Samurai Flamenco is becoming an internet viral sensation. LOL Fiji said: I am guessing, maybe Mari (or the other two girls) might be the girlfriend of Goto. That would be really interesting. I can't wait. I thought it was a long distance relationship. |
| Yet more proof that umbrellas are secretly evil and enjoy causing misfortune. |
| wow gay |
| Amazing episode, this is one of my favorites series of this season |
| O importante não é o que fazemos de nós, mas o que nós fazemos daquilo que fazem de nós |
| lol the umbrella chase :D |
| I'm not used to the ost but his "heroic acts" hold me watching it, so awesome |
| EL PSY KONGROO!!! |
| 03:24 Silvertime!!! 04:00 dat Beeburr 08:39 onegai shiMAsu〜 11:21 she must be a tokusatsu otaku as well 17:10 who the heck stole Silvertime's umbrella? 18:12 hero in bike LOL @ next ep's title. That shiMAsu girl's gonna become a Furamenko too? 7/10 for this ep. |
| 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. |
| Him buzzing in with so much enthusiasm to answer that question really did it for me. |
| “Suppose, gentlemen, that man is not stupid.” |
| Still one of my favorite ones of this season. Anyway, the girl seems interested in hereos like the MC, so I'm expecting a future relationship. And now I'm starting to get what they're trying to do with the story. It seems a little low budget though, or perhaps they're preserving their budget for episodes with a lot of action in the future?

Yes, agreed. That's what I'm liking in this show so far. There is some truth in what Hazama says, even if it's for a comedy purpose. That umbrella scene was simply hilarious, I love how Hazama is enthusiastic about everything he does for the justice. Also, I genuinely laughed when Hazama was anwering at the talk-show. |

He's 19 I'm guessing Mari is somewhere btw 16-19 so it would work. The 3 girls from the ed :] I wonder why Mira stopped him when he was saying "Red Axe"? Looks like Samurai Flamenco is getting the spotlight. Uh-oh his manager had the axe I wonder what she will do next episode? Xd the after ed footage He will have to fight a fake next ep :D |
| I was laughing for the entire episode, and when i wasnt i was just smiling from how much of a fun time i was having watching this. This show does a fantastic job at just making me feel like a giddy little kid whilst watching this. Also theres like no basis for this but calling it now theres going to be some romance between mari and hazama. Also might i mention just how great the chemistry between goto and hazama |
Immahnoob said: Jizzy, I know you have no idea how to argue for shit, tokiyashiro said: Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. 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 |
| Looks like that umbrella rescue got Samurai Flamenco some positive publicity this time which is nice. I wonder if the idol girl is the fake Flamenco next episode. Fight on Flamenco! |
[center] |
| That was great. This show is turning out much better than I expected, the theme of how small crimes are actually important was developed brilliantly in this episode. I have hopes this will be my favorite this season. |
 |
| I really like this show. Its's just so unique and quirky. Dat umbrella story. |
  |
| Another good and funny episode. I didn't knew about the umbrella crisis in Japan so this was kind of interesting for me. This is turning out to be pretty good. |
| Better than the first, but that Umbrella scene.. Ugh. |
 |
| Loved it 2 episodes and it already become one of my fav this season and I can really understand the feelings when someone steal your umbrella Gotou and Hazama have a great chemistry |
| Great episode. I will never look at umbrella stands the same way again. I'm guessing Mari is secretly a superhero fan as well that's why she recognized the song Hazama was singing and unconsciously grabbed him. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Judging from this episode, I can tell that idol is going to be involved in Hazama's superhero antics later on. But although what he is doing is pretty funny, it's pretty true at the same time. I can relate with that incident about the umbrella (I didn't my umbrella stolen), when you do a crime and don't consider the circumstances of the action, then it's a problem for other people. I'm pretty sure that they're trying to say that you should think about others before you do something. But I liked this episode more than the previous one and I wonder how extensive this plot is going to get considering that he's already becoming pretty famous. |
 |
| Great episode. I've never thought that it will be this great. Full of "moral values" I guess ? This might be my gag of the fall. |
"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes! Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!" - Kaname Jouji , Red Axe |
xchee said: Great episode. I will never look at umbrella stands the same way again. I'm guessing Mari is secretly a superhero fan as well that's why she recognized the song Hazama was singing and unconsciously grabbed him. Well yeah, there is a scene at the end that basically confirms that (when she was watching Hazama on tv and singing Red Axe). |
| This show is definitely a sleeper hit. I only see action in the genre on MAL but it should also be listed as comedy. |
