I had high hopes after the first season, but it doesn't seem to live up to expectations.

Two weird twins that apparently change gender, a story that barely involves Lagoon or Revy, i mean where do they plan on taking this?


Oh, you mean a story that takes the time to involve/develop it's side characters?

First minute, where the twins change genders with the wig. WTFFFF. These twins are about as psychotic as Johan and Anna Liebert (Monster). And lol @ Balalaika watching child porn to find the twins.

The gender swapping thing was confusing. Did they switch back some point later?

Wow, and then all of a sudden, child pornography. I do wonder how Balalaika made that extreme jump to a conclusion.

If you take the twins and the gore too seriously, then your watching the wrong anime. Its meant to be mindless fun.

If you're looking for seriousness, go watch Elfen Lied.


Elfen Lied was serious?

OT:
Either way I'm enjoying the second season so far, I do agree it's kinda weird seeing 2 little kids using these big guns, but it's an anime, I wouldnt expect less :)

I dont get the part where those kids 'swapped' hairs, what was the point?

Revy and Eda should've just taken the money. Now they have to deal with Balala-whatshername.

The kids are too unnatural in this show. the first two episodes have been pretty bad because of them. The villains are so bad, it's almost funny.

Creeptastic.

Balalika is going to wipe out Revy in the wake? F- that!

Not diggin' the twins.

Random observation: Balalaika sounds like Kim Cattrall (Samantha from Sex and the City) in the dub. I actually checked the credits to make sure Kim Cattrall hadn't made a foray into voice acting, LOL. (The VA for Balalaika is Patricia Drake.)

Hahahha~~~, kids switching position of gender which is crazy for me but I liked it.

Too much talk at 1st half :/

If the twins offer 10,000, why not take both money and bounty prize? Revy is smart!!

So the twins can be interchanged? Whoah they were really horrendous but it seems that experienced a very unfortunate childhood so they became what they are right now? I want them to be defeated but I kind of felt bad. Also, Mr. Chang looks really cool during gun fight. I wonder how things will happen since Eda and Revy got involved.

Damn this episode was good! A lot of content packed into 20 minutes.

The Italian mafia got fucked real bad. I feel a litte embarrassed as I'm part Italian myself, lol.

I really liked the scene where the kids tried to bribe that bounty hunter, her expression was priceless.

Love the the vampire girl, she cute do not like the boy hes kinda creepy!
Backstory for the twins was seriously messed up sold and forced to make snuff films then raped by pedophiles (at least i assume the little girl got raped since she was naked and cryin), no wonder they are like that.
5/5.

It seems like anyone that pairs with Revy makes a perfect match... of course it's meant to be that way but still awesome. I still think the twins are fucking awesome... ho can anyone not like loli sadists? I agree on the firing heavy weaponry pushing it but who care about minor details like that when a car practically flew a few hundred feet.


Exactly, came here to see badass scenes, honestly dont care how unrealistic it is. thats like a action genre staple.

Good episode again. The ending in particular was exciting in terms of where the direction would go, and I love how weird as fuck the twins are in this show. They're maniacal as hell but clever in terms of using bait for everyone to be distracted by, except Balalaika's group ofc. Wonder how Eda and Revy would fit into the puzzle given Balalaika seemingly wants to crush the twins with her own hands for what they've done with comrades from her group.

Wow, that was dark... And Balalaika's doesn't even hesitate to order her men to kill Revy and Eda if they get in their way. Damn... Everyone for themselves in this city, huh? I mean, I knew that already, but still... Balalaika only REALLY cares about her comrades from the war, Chang only cares about his gang, and the Lagoon only cares about the Lagoon (except for Rock, maybe). Any group can doublecross anyone if they want, and it wouldn't be out of character.

Just a few things I found a little hard to believe during this EP:

- I don't mind that they're children, but killing everyone without even getting the upper-hand of getting them by surprise? They just stood there with guns pointed at them and somehow got out scratch-free.
- The kid bringing an mini axe also pisses me off, just because it's an axe... and there's guns.

That was it, the only things that made me scratch my head in disbelief. The rest I can suspend my disbelief, since it's an anime.

I don't quite get how Balalaika made the connection from "insane romanian kids" to "they must have been in a snuff movie". And even if, what exactly did she gain from it? From what we saw only their names in that one movie. Which are most likely not their real names (assuming they even remember their original ones). And why/how do their names even matter?

I know this is old, but since no one replied to it I'm going to.

She simply used her geopolitical knowledge to make the connections. She knew they were kids, and she found out they were romanian. She knew that the romanian goverment had recently fallen, and she knew that a lot of children were sold as merchandise (these children being illegitimate children of the former dictator). So, from there, she theorized that since they're romanian kids, there's a chance they'd be in one of those snuff films. Them being twins just narrowed the search even more.

She literally said all that I've wrote here in this episode.

The multiple groups gradually unfolding the mystery is neat and all but why doesn't someone just bop em' already?

Not much more to say about this episode. A few action scenes, some investigation that reveals the twins have a very dark backstory. Hard to say if the show is saying anything about this dark subject matter or if it is pure shock value.

The twins have one tragic backstory.

I liked this episode, its always nice when Mr Chang is here one the best characters in the show along with Revy and the crew and Balalaika. Eda is also pretty cool i like her outfit.

The ending of this episode was crazy i never thought Balalaika would think about gettting rid of Revy, though i guess she wants to settle the score with those kids.

The Italian boss is laaame. Maccheroni are ready, itadakimasu~

I will never get enough of Mr. Chang in action! Miss scar face as ruthless as ever.
