Ahahaha, the last scene before the ED cracked me up!
I like this series, it feels so, hm, nonchalant? And the main pair is very likable. The manager sure is scary, she pissed me off at the start but I thought she makes nice counterweight for Hazama's idealism and is very believable. Gonna stick to this one for sure.

This show is definitely a sleeper hit.
I only see action in the genre on MAL but it should also be listed as comedy.


Action shouldn't even bee in the genres honestly, not based on these 2 episodes.

Anyways, curious on what was going on with that girl when she heard him singing.

This episode was worse than the previous. The whole half part was bad, but perhaps it will be used later...

You think so? I personally think that it's impossible to hate/dislike this show ^^ This is just soooooo goooodddddd, and so funny ^^ Just have to give my respect to Samurai Flamenco, and that youngster!!

Wow he watched that video for 206 times? Wow just wow! And that idol, she is also a fan of Red Axe!! Possibly romance? I sure hope so! This is turning into my favorite of the season, along with Nagi no Asukara, but I enjoyed this more than that ^^

Edit: I am just so sad that this show is so underrated!

I'm really enjoying this, I have a constant smile and something even laughter while watching it and I prefer this over an actual action anime. Those idols sounded very annoying when they were first introduced though lol. I'm kinda interested in Goto's GF and I wonder if there is a reason as to why they haven't introduced here yet ( Is she gonna die? they showed Goto in black suit with red flowers :S in the OP)

Nice episode. I totally know how it feel when your stuff get stolen and you have to stole others. At my country, its slippers that often get stolen. Its suck even more than stolen Umbrella, I mean how am I supposed to walk home without stealing others people shoes?

Now that I think about it, Hazama is quite similar to License-less Rider from One Punch Man.

Pretty nice episode, this anime can be a slice of life with a content of drama (which supposedly will come over the chapters) but still manages to spend a good feeling, the characters have charisma and context is very real, since scenarios until attitudes of the characters and their design, the animation has improved a lot in this episode.

And I predict novel coming up (?)

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.


yup loved how eveyrthing was tied together.

With this episode this show gets top 3 ranked in my list this season. l really like the realistic scenery this hero show takes place. No superpoweravengersxmenspidersupermandarkbatmanstuff that is so boring in these days. Samurai Flanenco could turn into my fav superhero. ^^ l like that he is curious about even umbrella robbery. xD Such a nice guy. =) The ending is something I think. Really nice popsong. But the opening isnt so good even if its Spyair. The song has a few good parts but thats it ... but animation style is good and funny. The ost is fantastic.

For me, not really. She was doing her job. Goto and Hazama respects her as a waitress.

OT: I like this episode, I didn't expect that Samurai Flamenco's fame will rise early but it's alright.

How the hell did Ishihara didn't notice that SF is Hazama?

Why don't they just wear raincoats if they don't want to use umbrellas? It's what I do. Rain coats are way better when it's windy anyway.

His manager is really creepy. It's nice to see the friendship with the cop develop. He's taking things so serious and is so stubborn, but you really can't dislike him. I hope his manager doesn't find out...

I got a feeling Mari will be the "Fake Flamenco" next episode... I sure hope so, 'cause that'd be a good development. Mari is already leaning towards my favorite character in this show... definitely sensing a sidekick in the near future. :O

God, I love how this anime presents serious issues so casually and even tongue-in-cheek. I loved how just right after they argue over the seriousness of that whole umbrella-stealing culture, Goto's girlfriend's umbrella gets stolen. It was hilarious to see him so frustrated about it, and he was drunk to boot! It's kind of telling the viewer, will it have to be something you really value until you do something about the problem?

An otherwise mundane plot, this whole thing relies on the growth and color of the characters. I really hope they'd keep the momentum going!

I thought this would be lame as shit, but DAMN! it is funny so far, I like the OP, now the ED not so much. And about the morality of this guy Hazama, he's a bit extreme and dumb as fuck, well he's a model after all, but I like this guy, I don't think this series will evolve to a point where he fights crime or something but idk maybe more on the politics subject, or social idk-what, and yes, things we all know are against the rules we do everyday and everyone says "it's ok" but somehow we allow this indifference towards laws and we should be equal judging avery kind of crime

Honestly, that's just wrong. What's so wrong with them fantasizing about two males together in a show they like?
Guys do the same with girls like in Madoka Magica, Nanoha, Girls und Panzer or Strike Witches for examples.
I'm not a yaoi fan but I have no problem with yaoi fangirls shipping two males in a show. It's their fantasy. It's not hurting me in anyway.
And lastly, do realize that yaoi anime are very rare. So it's no surprise fangirls ship guys from shonen shows.

scores dont matter till it airs, unless the final opinion of it is pretty scattered the score usually jump down or up, steins gate jumped from the 8's to the 9's, shinsekai yori jumped from low 7's to mid 8's, and so on so on. This if it keeps consistant with its quality then it will get around high 7's to 8's

This is indeed the message the show is trying to pass.

I'm surprised it will be a 20+ episode series. I'm not sure how many more times I will endure hearing "onegaishiMAsu"... on the other hand, her dumb face here face was great:
