| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- A lot of focus on Iris this episode. Not a big fan of her but she's still an important character. Damn right the 5th division needs to be investigated into. They gave me the creeps and honestly, they're probably the most controversial division in the show. |
 |
| The captain of the fifth, princess Hibana is kinda creepy. It also looks like princess Hibana was a sister like Iris and that they were very close. |
 |
| I was expecting a showdown with the 5th but that escalated quickly. Hibana seems to be the only big threat though. All the others were pushovers. |
 |
| Shinra's sure is surprisingly perceptive. Though its good that he understands that a fire soldier's duty is not just facing internals but also involves helping others with their problems. Thats some training that the captain was doing there lol. The power to weaken a bullets force sure is a curious power. Princess Hibana seems more like a scientist than a fire soldier. One that really enjoys her work it seems. To think that Hibana was actually someone that Iris knew from the order. Shinra's response as he broke into the 5th was just hillarious. But man Takehisa's display of his ability sure was impressive. Though the 5th have the numbers the 8th skilled fighters more than make up the difference. A strong ep that while doing well in showing the beginning of the campaign to discover the truth of the fire force also did well to expand upon Iris's background. After their last display its high time the 5th get the punishment that they so deserve. |

| Interesting that Hibana was a sister before, I wonder why she went down the path she did. Arthur is just hilarious, I can't get enough of his chuuni style responses and his knightly stuff. While I don't like that Hibana hurt Iris, you gotta admit that Hibana knew all the right pieces of clothing to burn off. XD Animation is glorious as ever. Fight sequences are just eye candy and I mean that in a good way. Hinawa just destroying everyone that comes his way, the bubble gum dude got wrecked. Arthur using his sword in the wrong hand and then wondering why he couldn't summon any power and eventually just one shotting that infernal was glorious. That sheathe animation was so so good. |
 |
| some of the cuts during that Arthur fight felt... strange to say the least, reminded me of some of my Youtube jump cuts and it didn't look right, Iris best girl, she's stunning wonder what she and her sister's backstory is, probably wasn't a good idea to walk into enemy territory like that alone... I also have a thing for Hibana |

| I'm still conflicted over this series. Do I enjoy it? Yes, a fair amount in fact. The animation is stunning and the plot is relatively interesting. There's just some odd choices thrown in that really holds it back. However, it's hard to pinpoint exactly what. Right now the show is hovering around a 7.5 for me. So if I rounded up it'd be an 8 I guess. Anyways, the action was entertaining, as per usual, even with some odd cuts in scenes. The humor was fairly good too. I don't like the creepy science lady of the 5th though. Way too over-the-top for me. |

| Well, like most others here, the fight b/w baka-Arthur and the half-infernal was really a mixture of feelings and a similar notion regarding the episode as a whole too. Pretty cool how Arthur took care of it so effortlessly after figuring out the issue, plus that glorious bit of the slash from an animation point of view, but it was dragged on for too long in my opinion. Damn, the lieutenant is bloody strong and crafty though and Maki has yet to 'evolve' lol. Now that I think about it, Arthur survived a close call there just earlier. Extremely disappointed with the lack of fight from the 5th though, I have to seriously question Capt. Hibana's motive of dragging the 8th here despite having quite frankly no one other than her who could even come close to posing a threat. Anyway, the fact that Capt. Obi is not around here yet kind of gives me the feeling that he'll come out with a banger of an introduction lol, can't wait to see how that goes! On another note, Shinra sharing a moment of thought for Iris there at the begininng was really nice to see. Meanwhile, Iris's attempt of stopping Capt. Hibana has totally flopped, got to admire her courage for coming this far though. Capt. Hibana clearly cares for her, despite not explicitly showing that yet, considering how she let go hold of the hold and then went on to giving her costume. Quite the reveal about the sisters in this industry though, I wonder just how bad that's like in the other squads. Shinra better be careful now... |

| Arthur is getting pretty annoying. I hope he gets past this phase soon and grows into someone more interesting. Hibana is nasty. I look forward to seeing how powerful she is. |

| The battle began, always remember to hold your sword with your right hand to get the full power! |
| Enjoyed the episode. What else is there left to say except that I expect Obi to show up somewhere down the line. |

| Hibana is fucking nuts, but I have a mini crush on her. Also bless her for taking off some of Iris clothes hehe. Plot-wise there was also a lot going. I want to find out more about the drug and shit is going down between the 8th and the 5th. Mega hyped for next episode. |

| ngl i couldn't even finish the episode , 5 episodes in and Arthur's first kill in episode 2 was the only scene which i actually enjoyed . |
| So uh is blood going to be completely censored the whole anime or what? Even putting a bullet through someone's skull at point blank range apparently doesn't do anything I'm not even sure that has anything to do with the KyoAni incident since there wasn't really any gun violence involved there |

| I love seeing how creative stories get within the constraints of their world; which, in this case, is very focused on the properties of fire... I mean, hinawa, with the bullets - the sparks are flames, and so this is how it'll go. I also like how they allowed better versatility by splitting generations (my hopes weren't too high knowing that the one behind this had also created soul eater). |

| Wow...this episode was REALLY bad. Let's go down a list of all the fuck ups. -The 5th is made to look like jobbers. -Iris was going to get some character development and look into her a backstory, but the show is like, "Naw babygirl we need you to be a plot device." -Some of the joeks in this episode were fucking stupid. -The 5th three angels are cool despite being dress like BDSM models.(Okay this isn't relaly a fuck up.). -Hibana is pretty cool even if she is a cartoon villian.(Okay this isn't fuck up either.). -Shinra just knows where the documents are. -It's really bad and very illogical to just storm another base. This could reflect bad on the 8th. -Arthur forgetting he is right handed and left handed was fucking stupid. -They made it obvious what the 5th were doing without much mystery. At least episode 4 was mildly entraining. It was still bad but it had something. This episode jsut outright suck. |

This episode jsut outright suck. okey i didnt read the manga but here it goes -the 5 is a science division so they are weaker but they where arrogant thinking that if they outnumber them they can win -so how about we wait a little bit for more episodes -comedy is subjective -look at this industrial complex oh look at this big mansion hmmmmm -8th was made specifically to investigate other divisions so i think they will be fine also hibana was going to use the nun to lure them in anyway I give you that on waiting for more eps. Comedy is subjective but the joeks here were very childish. They make it very obvious. Well I don't think that is fully true as they have gotten in trouble in the past for going agaisnt orders. |

| gotta love dumb people :feelsgoodman: >Iris was going to get some character development and look into her a backstory, but the show is like, "Naw babygirl we need you to be a plot device." they are not mutally exlusive thing, if you paied attention even a little you would see that the 5th division leader was actually with iris it would make complete sense for her to get caputred and THEN explore her backstory and develop her character from there... then again |
| reiwa weebs will unironically tell u they want a remake or sequel but when they get it ,its suddenly souless and a cashgrab cause they dont like the thing anymore and cant fathom they grew out of it and must mean the show somehow became bad |
| Even though episodes 3 and 4 were a vast improvement, this episode was just...okay. I wish I liked this show more, but I'm just not warming up to the characters. Oh well. It's a stupid show, but it's a fun kind of stupid. I'm juuuuust interested enough to want to continue. |

| Sister Iris definitely is hiding something...not just judging on the ED though... Princess Hibana's masochistic nature felt forced, ain't that silly to predict and see-through. However, it is their relationship that shuns me to death. Nonetheless, Shinra has brought Company 8 into Company 5's HQ to settle the drought. As per usual, the Lieutenant doesn't let loose. For the high-flyers of Company 5 vs. Company 8, Arthur truly sparks like a true knight and he turned a Zenitsu in that moment. Lieutenant and Maki as per their usual stances, but it's clear that the deal with Company 5 must be dealt with due to their controversial experimentations. Power vs. Might. That's just Episode 5 in a nutshell. David Production (or rather Shaft)'s value still holding strong. Really wondering what is the connection between the Sisters, not just Shinra and Co. saving her and fishing out the true connection. |

| Good episode! Hibana was creepy. It was cool seeing the 8th division take on the 5th division. |
| This episode felt flatter than the previous ones, specifically the fight. It lacked a lot of the charm the animation usually has. |
 |
| Arthur is such a dolt, that battle with that infernal was a bit funny. I'm really glad they get to fight the 5th division, Hibana is a real sadist but I kinda like her. |

| To think that 5th division members were weaker than I thought, except for the captain I guess. Then, they just revealed the true color of the 5th divison which is good to see. Most importantly, good to see 8th and 5th division fighting each other. |
| Hibana is cringey tbh Company 8 are op compared to the 5th. It’s preer amazing how Arthur could have his sword in the wrong hand without noticing. I’m at least looking forward to the next episode with Shinra fighting Hibana. |
 |
| It's soo funny the fact that people are lowering the score because of the fanservice xD I left a 8 since the first episode and as for right know i wouldn't lower it. |
 |
| Yeah... not really a fan of the fanservice and the way it has been used in this series so far. Shinra grabbing Tamaki's boob was bearable (to some extent) but Hibana burning Iris's clothes in what was supposed to be a tense scene, mixed with her over-the-top outburst ended up making the whole sequence look simply hilarious and with no impact at all. Regarding Hibana, sorry but her character is so exaggerated I can't take her seriously anymore. She might have the saddest of backstories yet I wouldn't care in the slightest whether she lives, she dies or the reason why she developed such masochist tendencies. And since it seems I still have things to say, I don't know the purpose of it but seeing Arthur using his sword with the wrong hand and wondering why he couldn't use his powers was really stupid. That aside, I still think he might become an interesting character but so far, he has been really annoying with his antics and this "knight" phase of his. Anyways, as a whole, I found this episode to be rather weak. Leaving aside what I have pointed out, the transition between scenes felt abrupt for the most part and Hibana, being as she is, made her scenes look really forced in the end. Honestly, the only good point about this episode was the animation but other than that, the rest was mediocre at best. |
| Interesting that Hibana's a sister. I've noticed her in the ending, but it's neat that they're addressing it now. I wonder how Shinra vs Hibana will go. |
| Mankind knew that they cannot change society. So instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the beasts. |
| Wow that princess is one messed up and crazy woman. Looking forward to our hero surely fighting her next time. |

| My man Arthur needs to relax with the Ogre/Gorilla comments towards Maki. My girl is beautiful! Though it seems now the show is going down the Maki x Arthur route and Shinra x Iris route. We'll see though. Fun episode overall though. Music still continues to be amazing. |

| Looks like Iris and Hibana used to be very close to each other, what happened tho? Hibana also turned into a sadist lmao. 5th is no match for the 8th |
