| enjoyable episode, but pretty damn rushed.. |
| UUUGH. Yuki Kaji is becoming unbearable in this. And this episode was way too fast. |
 |
| I'm 99 % certain that Kayo will die at some point in the anime, but I don't want her to... |
................................................................................. |
| Not the best episode... Was lacking a bit. I kind of wish this show had more than just people finding monsters and killing them. Williamzz said: E_1999 said: Plot armor in full effect. The gastrea seem like total pushovers (not to mention they look like lame bugs instead of scary monsters, that T-Rex gastrea was laughable) and I'm supposed to feel like they are super dangerous unstoppable aliens? That is so funny but true. If they had decrease the pace of the anime by a bit, they could build that atmosphere that makes us "feel like they are super dangerous unstoppable aliens" ^ this |
| the loli is strong in this anime |
 |
| ehh, really picked up pace here in this episode with him recovering from being stabbed and shot 2 times, yet he recovers in a day and 3 hours, right in time for the next mission. A bit strange, but I'll deal with it. But, as far as that goes the rest is great! |
Nyaaaria- said: You really are the king of marathoning  |
| Meh episode, fast paced and rushed... dropped. |
| Hyuga Junpei: “Yeah… I’m confident… Because my teammates will help me out! I can shoot confidently.. because it will be okay even if I miss!” Kagami Taiga: “I don’t know about being the bad guy or whatever. It’s only in stories where titles like that decide the loser. This is our show. We’re the ones who are writing the script.” |
| Too rushed, they cut a lot of important dialogues and important scenes that has character development (especially with Shogen). The conversation with Kayo and Rentarou was cut to the bare minimum, making it confusing and weird. I hate how they're shining such a bad light on Shogen, Kayo never spoke badly of Shogen in the manga, but in the anime she flat out called him greedy and a murderer for his own interest (WHICH IS NOT TRUE!). Kayo either defended Shogen when Rentarou spoke badly of him or said nothing at all because she knows what kind of person Shogen truly is. I hope they fix this in the next episode. |
| seems like with the pacing the show is gonna be 1 cour. maybe they're trying to rush through the earlier parts to get to the more epic stuff? i was processing information when the characters already moved onto a whole different topic. and kisara explaining the 5 stages like rentarou doesn't already know. it's obvious that it was to explain to the viewers what the 5 stages are but that could've been done in a more decent way. also, i hope they explain how rentarou survived a hit to both kidneys, several shot wounds and being crushed to a boulder. however, even though the scenes were fast paced they were well done except that i didn't really sympathize with enju's crying after she destroyed that gastrea since it's too soon. hopefully, the show will somewhat slow down. i'm still really enjoying it |
Fritzion said: Seems like they're cutting the comedy scenes making it a bit darker. That could be better though. We need some serious ones this season |
| 07:01 go hug her already 15:02 dat kindergarten schooltrip 7/10 for this episode. |
| 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. |
| Actually thought this episode was great, was hoping Shintarou had superpowers cause didn't want this to be another series where the main character is dead weight, and after seeing him get experimental drugs it made me cave in to read the manga. Which only make me agree with some of the comments, this episode was a bit too rushed, though whether this will benefit the series in the long run is another question. |
Mugen_Time said: I'd like to know how Rentaro survived... I'm sure it has to do with "sensei" operating on him and somehow, whether through some gastrea blood or some crazy shit, allows him to regenerate a hell of a lot faster than a human being. Or maybe he's a completely normal human being and this is a big flaw in the anime... only time will tell. |

| I love the episode even though I did felt it go fast again wow. When the kids were fighting Enju got me sad,man the feels poor Enju. They both handled it too fast,let switch schools?! Theirs sweet moments and I like the action. Kagetane scared me when Rentarou got the case that swoosh ,I jumped >_> Ahhhhhhh freakin Kagetane or masked dude. Tina seemed nice ,poor he though she had to kill people. Rentarou survinong that shot ,stabbed and more shots was the operation I guess from Sensei. |

Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| well it is so rushed like hell that I can't even get the feel.. not to mention sometimes voice doesn't fit the animation expression. I hope they don't do this in future episode. |

| Whoa whoa whoa the pace seems so fast - slow down, would you? It's still interesting though! |
orchidork said: i was processing information when the characters already moved onto a whole different topic. me during most of the episode ._. |
| After getting to the brink of death and waking up I was expecting Satomi to have some new upgraded power or something. Just like that mask guy has. Instead he is given a box of drugs with no explanation at all.. Meh. I love the interactions between the two main characters. Action scenes are pretty well done as well! The masked guy's girl is fucking brutal when she stabs and carves Satomi :O It's obvious that ALOT of stuff in this show has been inspired by Attack on Titan. The opening for example uses the same type of music that AOT has. The barriers that keep things out are identical to the wall that kept titans out. Not saying these things are bad or anything, it's just very obvious that they jumped on the style of AOT hoping that they too would get popular. |
| The pace is really fast in this anime, I'm starting ti think it will only be 12-13 episodes at most. Somehow I also like the main character's hair a lot, looks cool on him |
| I like Enju now. I surprised myself when I realized Enju was a very brave person, despite being just a child. She went to the school where everybody there was bullying her!!! But, seriously, I think the Seitenshi sees the cursed children as objects, because she is taking measures JUST NOW to avoid the violence against 'em. Hope more good episodes... |

| the pace dropped a bit eventualy! but still, it was pretty good!! |
 |
| is it just me or is the intensity of this series been fading away lately?. The pacing was waaaay to fast for my liking and the scenes felt incredibly rushed.... I hope they do something about this. Other than that; LOLI POWER lolol, really curious about what the doctor did to rentarou though (pretty much the only thing making me want to watch this series; that and Enju <3) |
| To hunger, but not gluttonous. To arouse, but not lustful. To tire, but not slothful. |
| I think it is kinda weird how he almost died and then got up like it was a slap on the back. But at least he got a bag of toys right? And drugs, gotta have drugs. The anime is going so fast! |
 |
| Anime logic: Massive internal organ damage is always fixed by a good night's rest and some bandages :D Ugh still not sure about this anime. Every episode, I feel like dropping it because it's not doing anything for me, but by the end I've kinda changed my mind because there's a slightly better part in every episode.... |

| i cant believe he survive that sword stab and gunshot then fall to the river... and he can already move... wow he's a superhuman~ |
 |
| The height difference between our two main leads is noticeable. Seriously, he survived that? Talk about superhuman. Still adoring that ED, best one this season. |
 |
| Dude, how can Rentaro survived that crap? After all that, he is back in battlefield after a day. He cannot be human, no way. |
 |
| Woah the way that girl moved the swords inside Rentaro looked pretty painful! So much BS on how he survived it XD This was pretty intense and yeah a little too fast paced.. |
| Death is no longer a consiquence in this series. All tension just flew out the window. Rentarou got #rekt so bad and is getting up ready for another fight in the next scene. Whenever the main characters are going to be in a pinch from now on, I'll just be like "pff, whatever, it's not like they can die or anything". At least until the final act, if the show does the typical sacrafice-for-the-better-good cliche. |
Have you worshiped our Empress today? |
| Decent Episode but with super fast pacing. I got confused halfway.. |
OSOI! |
| I think Black Bullet is a good example of why anime need to remember the rule of "show the audience, don't just tell them" Nothing substantial has been shown to us. We've been told that the Gastrea have been a huge treat to humanity, but the only time we've really seen that was for 30 seconds in the very first episode. We've been told that Enju and the MC are very close to each other, but the only time we've seen that was a 15 second flashback sequence. Additionally, if the Cursed Children are so incredibly powerful, why is the show trying to portray them as so oppressed? That girl who got killed in episode 2 could have MASSACRED those guys if she could do half what Enju can. That entire subplot is nonsensical. Below average anime so far, mostly due to the plot. |
| The fate of destruction is also the joy of rebirth |
| Dropped because Rent survived that attack from the masked man. No I'm just kidding. Maybe he's like wolverine, maybe he can regenerate. Hmmmmmmmmmm |
 |
| The MC can't die so easily cos... plot armor. Kayo should just join him. I somehow want this to end up with the MC amassing a harem of lolis. |
| I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN |
| That surgery of the past, they put hacks on him on that time |
 |
| I actually enjoy it when the main char gets his ass kicked so hardly. xD Too bad every char seems more interesting to me than the MC. Gotta love Enju though. |
| that wolverine operation |
| Cty Best mid |
RuinsInTheWind said: Also, they didn't mention, but Kategone and Koniha are ranked 138 as a promoter initiator pair.] :0 was that before hiruko did his surgery? cause that's seems low to me seeing he just owned a room full of promoter/initiator pairs. |
 |
| Its getting better I think. I like how it is uncensored. |
