You would think that this episode would salvage the series but it actually didn't even accomplish that.

I don't care and I don't have any fancy words to type here to make it look like I care either.


This entity could very easily have been a last minute copout for an explanation of the all encompassing bullshit this show has thrown at us thus far. I actually wondered if they'd throw the Matrix at us during the episode, and this isn't too far off from that. >_<

The show literally and figuratively went from slice of life -> action -> comedy -> parody -> mecha -> fantasy -> supernatural. Am I missing something?


I'm guessing Masayoshi will find a girlfriend and start a family now or we'll get into some backstory with Gotou's GF for once. Just to end the show on a romantic 'Love makes the world go round' note.

Despite what everyone was saying I did like this eposode, it's arguable how good the fiinal explanation was but hey, at least there was one, can't say that about every anime out there. It's certainly a strange show and the first few episodes were really good and showed great potential, which feels a bit wasted, but it's not as bad as people make it to be.

It has to be your cup of tea though but I did like some aspects of it and to write this explanation of as simply "silly" or "bad writing" is just your opinion, in that case it's arguable that every plot twist in any anime can be consideren "good" or "bad".

Lol that was a good episode, had a few laughs, and epic uppercuts! That parallel world shit was 2deep4me2comprehend. I really like the OST of this series, the touching one, the epic one.. The last scene of the episode was also good, more GotoxHazama BROMANCE.

I like the next episode's title, "The Quiet Life". Hopefully the next few episodes will be slice of life-ish, no more aliens please lol. Also lol'd at the engrish.

This is why I watch anime. Apart from the animation deficiencies, this was an amazing climax.

I like this show and how bizarre it is. A unique and enjoyable blend of comedy, action and drama. The explanation I thought was actually pretty good and the engrish was both terrible and awesome at the same time. This show is all over the place in tone and plot but that's what makes it so fun to watch. I'd like to see a more serious take of a home grown super hero but as far as I'm concerned this sort of parody of super sentai type heroes and fictional hero stories in general is done well and good enough for me.

Perhaps people can go read Watchmen, Kickass or even Batman if they still want their more "realistic" super hero fiction. Even from episode 1 Flamenco was always goofy, it never gave off the vibe that this was going to be some gritty and dark exploration of a home grown vigilante. The main character is a chidlike, simple minded goody two shoes for fucks sake. I think anyone who is disappointed for what could have been needs to take that elsewhere, this show never gave the impression it was going to be that serious, both in art and in characters.

It's so funny after that "deep" talk at the river bank with the sunset as background, the Alien couldn't help but to do some tsukkomi because of SF's stupidity and weird reasoning, LOL.. In the end SF took the stone, hahahah :D

I knew it! I knew Masayoshi would wear the suit that was in the 1st opening!

Alien Flamenco's engrish is awesome and hilarious!

This was a great episode, but Guillotine Gorilla still the GOAT though. lol

Sit down. Sit Down. Why?! LOL

Lots of Engrish this episode. Now where are we going to go? Aliens? What can be next? I have no idea. This episode kinda went Gurren Lagann like.

So they basically stepped on the landing site while fighting.

My friend had to google Eromanga after watching the episode to see if it was an actual town as God Tesseract says.

I love Alien Flamenco's English lol.

Was it Moe that said "Goodbye forever" at the end?

Alien Flamenco's bewilderment at Hazama's answers was probably the best part of the episode.

EDIT: I also loved the change they made to that one section of the opening animation. The part with the Flamengers looked pretty awkward before but they made it go much more smoothly.

Wow, I was not expecting invading aliens to go by that fast. This was some Haruhi Suzumiya tea. You know what, I think at this point I can accept Samurai Flamenco for what it is. I'm just really watching Hazama Masayoshi evolve as well as his connections with other people.

Wonder what's gonna happen next. This series introduced a god-like entity (and also the multi-verse because it implied that this story did take place in reality, just in an alternate universe).

They've gone as over-the-top as they can, so now I'm curious as to see where this is going to lead to.

There's no way this anime pulled that off, it was really just part of Hazama's life that controlled all that??? Damn, this anime sure does some clever stuff.

The fight was something too, lmao. Gives me Madoka Magica vibes with the who evolution and kinda this big brain way to maintain universal stability. But SF really out here kicking the hell out of Alien Flamenco.
