Huh? This felt like it was a recap or something or seems more like a montage of some of the previous episodes? Seems a bit redundant at this point but oh well..

It was probably a parody of recaps. But there's nothing redundant here, most scenes shown here never appeared in previous episodes.

Are they making fun of recaps or something? This show is random, LOL:

Like, they were in the middle of the final battle last episode and now this? Damn, just when I think this anime can't get any worse, it does. Congrats to Trigger for proving me wrong time and time again.
Shittiest episode yet, but I gotta admit the shougi scene was hilarious
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

Even for Ninja Slayer this was random. I guess they were just making fun of recaps/fillers and placing it in the middle of the climax was part of the joke.

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.

Why would they put what was essentially an ova as the 2ND to last episode... How will 12 mins next week be enough time to wrap it all up heck even if they did 24 mins I don't think they could wrap it all up :/

It's basically a lot of the chapters from the first novel series (Neo Saitama in Flames) that the creators had to skip. They still missed out... A LOT. They are going through the novels in hyperspeed and it hurts the animation cut as it misses a lot of context. I mean Electric Eel was in there for 0.5 second 10 episodes back, we didn't see the mortal combat between him and Silver Karas and why he returned wounded.

My favorite ninja Duo didn't make the cut :( Gauntlet (Shuriken Sniper) & Centipede (body extender) :(



Also 'Black Haze', the awesome Mortal Kombat Smoke parody who use explosing cigars as weapons didn't make the cut. He was supposed to play a more important part in the 'Kyoto: Hell On Earth' chapter and form a duo with (the beast transforming femme fatal) Fatal :(

I suppose, Ninja Motherfucker-san just took it easy on Ninja Slayer-san.



And Green Elephant-san was a nice reference (but I'm not sure that dudes from Trigger really aware of that brilliant masterpiece of Russian cinematography).

Lol, was this a recap episode or what? :P I guess it just showed the random battles Ninja Slayer had before this .... well, a little disappointing we didn't get any more fighting with Laomoto though :( I guess they're saving it for a grand finale ... though we DID see Darkninja - I wonder if they'll fight again too? :O Well, gotta wait for next week I suppose ... :(

Such a waste of an episode which just ruined all the build up from the previous episode, which was excellent by the way.

5/5 best recap episode ever!

"GWARGHHH!"

"NNUUUUUUUUUU..." This is the sound of NINJA concentration.

"MOO!" This is COW LANGUAGE.

Also, Yamoto was in this episode.

You know that was probably part of Trigger's intention in making this episode right?

Well, anyway, finally, a kind of funny episode.

I'm continually impressed by people expecting any kind of normal conduct from Trigger on the series fully intended to fuck with expectations and the notion of normalcy. A 'waste of an episode', haha, really? If episode 1 didn't tip you off that the show would be a guaranteed waste of everything, there's no helping you I guess.

Myself, I had fun throughout. Both the original authors and Trigger have executed the 'so bad it's good' angle really well, which is not an easy thing to do intentionally.

what i was assuming, since it alluded to some stuff that wasn't very well explained.

but damn this show, if i was trying to take it seriously, and the story seriously i would find it really hard to watch, but it's still good, this show is a low key masterpiece
