So many new faces and they seem to be powerful too! I'm surprised Doug was having a hard time fighting one of them...

The animation in this episode was a little better, but still felt a bit iffy at times. I just hope they don't botch certain scenes that should be coming up.

I don't know though, I haven't been enjoying this as much lately.

Probably because the show started as a dark alley gangster story and ended up being another regular shounen with characters having super powers.

Such a disappointment.


I second this.

Yeah the poor quality animation is starting to become more noticeable, especially in the first half of this episode. Aside from that, doesn't any one feel the funk in the background music towards the end of the episode? Sounds like some Samurai Champloo Nujabes/Tsuchie tunes- I noticed that Tsuchie produced Alex's song, which I absolutely adored.

Cool episode I guess. I'll be honest though, Gangsta's getting boring now. It's lost steam ever since episode 7. Too many cliches and random stuff.

Looks like the Animation Police are out in full force again.

It's justified criticism, especially with how episode 9 turned out. It's not like people are ranting about how they're gonna drop the anime or give it a low score because of it.


I didn't really find much wrong with episode 9 tbh, despite the screenshots, since I didn't notice the problems throughout the episode, then again, I'm not really worried much about animation quality in general. A show could have stick figures, but as long as it has a compelling story, I would give it a watch.

Episode 10 was pretty good, although it seemed like most of the episode focused on exposition. The only major action took place right near the end, but that action did build up to a nice way to end the episode. Hopefully the stage has been set so the final two episodes can be more action-oriented and build up to an exciting climax.

The destroyers look cool AF. I like that lollipop, punk girl with the big axe. I think I should expect a fight between her & Nico next ep. If so, I'm looking very much forward to.

Okay~ The scene with Dr. Theo & Nico was hilarious. It looked like Nico has fear of needles. He hasn't, right?

Marco x Connie is so sweet <3

Loretta, so beautiful with bed hair.

It's really hard to watch this show struggling so much in terms of visuals. I was really hoping it would turn out better "thanks to" the delay but it was pretty awful. Kinda sad because the visuals really help set the mood and tone of the show

Decent episode albeit a bit chilly in the first half. And damn sliced he was, after that axe flying through or ripping his body apart. I couldn't really tell because of the animation. I agree the visuals seems to be taking a slight dip in scenes which requires more attention, although i don't think all in-betweens has to look good as long as the whole scene looks right in the end.

More like a set up episode this time and I’m really looking forward to how the fights will go down since the new characters seem OP so far. It’s making me hopeful I’ll get to see Ginger fight once again.

Try as I might to ignore them, the bad art and animation are really distracting :/ It's such a pity that romances and slice of life anime get wonderful animation and then the adaptations of action-packed manga have some of the worst animation ever. Just to clarify, I'm not hating on other genres. I just wish for some animation equality :P

One thing that I'm not how I feel about are the OSTs. Why do they keep playing calm jazz-ish music during fight scenes? It makes the atmosphere way less intense and serious than it is in the manga...

Not a bad episode overall. I'm glad that they're staying faithful to the events of the manga.

It takes a hunter or S-rank to beat a hunter, Alex's brother is a hunter so she could be one too without knowing. With the hunter's onslaught, A-rank aren't even worth mentioning anymore as they are dying too easily.

As much as I enjoy the story from the manga, this episode in particular was horrendously animated. Seriously, I've seen better animation from flash cartoons.

Also, I usually don't mention this, but the animation definitely had some issues this episode, especially in the beginning where there was that one long still frame.

Slow episode, but I really enjoyed it after watching last week's recap. That recap answered a lot of questions I had about characters. After knowing finally knowing which character is which and what their role is, I enjoyed this episode way more than the previous one.

The animation also got better. Episode 9's animation was one of the wrost that I'd seen in while.

All of them are probably S-ranks. Then, Alex's brother is a S-rank too :o
I hope Alex has hidden powers, that would be awesome.
Nice episode, entertainable.

Sigh, I was hoping they would end the season on the Bastard's arc without getting into dealing with the hunters.

Once the hunters are introduced this fully goes from a dark seinen story to a shounen battle story with ever-younger OP kids that starts with Erica and Mikhail.

With each passing episode, I find myself caring less and less about the direction this anime has taken.

Yet again, they have introduced a new character or two, one is a psycho short-shorts wearing girl with an axe... there are only 2 episodes left... I can't take this stuff seriously.

decent episode, but too slow. The chick with the axe is both hot and vicious. Too bad it's nearly guaranteed she won't get a lick of characterization.

I'm willing to bet it was because the animation studio was on the brink of bankruptcy... which it went over after the show completed. :-(

Slow episode.

Looks like things are about to go down, though.

Interesting to see if there's gonna be a ton of S Rank action.
