THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
HELLO, HELLO! We're back to the androids' battle and continuing with the OP battle.

A new SA-class Iriya robot has appeared: No. 02, and appears more capable in combat (well, for mecha anyways) that Akira can control. Oh, and tentacle-seeping power for hacking purposes.

I'd swear that the "acrobatic" moves they were trying to animate...no surprises, it turned out to be as horrendous.

To go as far as using a VR-like missile weapon to near-eliminate Elmira piloting a brain-implanted Ex-Arm mech, that isn't even the least of its worries. Lots of "white explosive balls" and a suicide mission of overdrive that takes both Minami and Alma to bring Akira back to his human state. Oh well, all of this fiasco is finally over.

Can anyone give me a synonym of the word "bad"?

Anyways, an extra bonus if you feel tired of this show already:

Can’t wait for this episode to release, Ex Arm has been fire so far. This anime will boost sales of the manga past Demon Slayer level. AoT step aside, Ex Arm is anime of the year, no, the century.

Since the audio elements are still ok, this might work better as a drama cd. But the visual element is what make it famous LOL.

Next episode will spend its whole time on a dream scene?

Please, this adaptation is pure art. Not even Picasso could’ve predicted that artistry would reach these heights.

Synonyms for bad:
poor, inadequate, unacceptable, inferior, deficient, substandard, awful, terrible, frightful, atrocious, deplorable, inept.....

I think the point has been made.

What's worse is in my opinion plot or story wise this has been the best episode so far. It was said earlier this would make a better CD Drama. The voice acting is actually up to par. It the good awful stiff & lifeless animation. Does no one over there know how to animate any kind of facial expressions or the ability to blink?

Does anyone remember ReBoot? A Canadian CG based cartoon from 1994 to 2001. So one go did up their geriatric production team as this series makes 1994 ReBoot look like episode 14 or 19 of Demon Slayer on loop.

Another sunday, another bad episode of ex-arm. Sigh..

No matter what value the actual story has, the visuals just make it unbearably boring and unappealing

I am so glad we get so many silent and static frames between sentences, it really helps our little brains to have time do digest the super complex story. This was a key point to enjoying this incredible episode. Also, you know the directors truly care about your anxiousness towards Akira's health because they just put him casually doing his stuff again in the preview of the next episode, oof, I was worried!

I'm genuinely impressed by how the character's movements legitimately look impressive, yet look terrible. Makes sense since it's apparently motion capture, and it's damn entertaining.

Hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha omg this isn't real , I love this comment .
Except they can't nail facial expressions ep4 was good to watch , raised from 4 to 7 its rating ahahhahaha , pure art !!! I might give it a 10 at some point if I can manage to watch it till the end 😂

If you don't appreciate art , anime aren't for you , there is nothing wrong in them , nothing is perfect !

If you criticize Anime you should release your reviews directly to people and authors that made em !

Anime will not get any better if reviews do not get outside the borders of this website , change this !

Holy shit! Idk why but this truly the best episode so far. Full of intense battle, with a lot of good movement, ngl. Then, its make me feel sad with Elmira by the end. She was truly loyal. The truth that Mraw actually the same kind of Ex-Arm like Akira too, its just so tragic. Yet so ironic, because Akira still decided to destroy it, for the sake of a better future. However, its cost too much. He broken out himself out and almost uncontrollable. Lucky, Alma and Miname saved his arse, before something bad recall the past event. Rip Elmira, and welcome to the dreamland, everyone, after this episode.

Enjoyable episode, for a drunk soul like me.

Heck, the English in the machines is also very awkward lol.

I'd noticed previous episode with the "Access Permission" instead of "Access Granted" or something like that... but now with the "Referring to the data DISAGREEMENT" I'm like what?

Edit: I was looking for this in the manga and it seems it's also like that in the manga, but they skipped all the plot until chapter 20. They completely killed all the interactions with the maid android and sent an entire character into oblivion.

I'm going to keep watching this just for the story, but I might jump over to the manga instead because this in my opinion is a trainwreck. While the visuals look okay for the most part, sometimes it just becomes plain awkward.

Did my weekly skim of this shit show and it only gets worse.It was funny at first but now the writing is just as bad as the animation. The UN dropping A fuel-air bomb on a major city? Really? And the four idiots keep hanging around...not that they would make it out of range in time. Stupid AI Elmira can't figure out what brain dead means and no one bothers trying to explain it. Meanwhile Akira's brain can just keep smoking away without killing him.

Once again a pretty ok episode the action was fine. I really don't find it as bad as most people do because I don't really get bored watching it. It probably has something to do with the fast pacing.

And that I the action pretty entertaining, I know what there going for and I like it.

Despite it's flaws I rate this series so far a 5/10

Most of the episode was really boring because it's not a good idea to make a 90% action episode when the animation is beyond horrible, but at least that end of episode was quite interesting, what really happened to Akira...? that was creepy

While perhaps intended as bit of a bittersweet end for the maid and her beloved braindead master Mraw, that endscene with her smiling looks creepy AF. There is definitely story potential but its just so terribly executed

Would be easier to take the "emotional scenes" seriously if any of the characters had a single expression on their face. Their vacant stares aren't cutting it as of right now, lol.

The Ogre mechsuit was cool, at least.

"So fast!"

Akira just keeps moving forward until all of his enemies are hacked. Chad AoT parallels here.

And so ultimately maid android was in love with a braindead fat bastard.

This doesn't have a 68% drop rate for nothing. I'm running out of ways to trash this and the "so bad it's bad" novelty is finally wearing off. At least the next episode looks like it could be the great redeemer.

It's incredible that certain parts of the animation look like I had done it in Paint hahaha, there are literally parts where they are PNG that seem to give movement using the mouse and that's it
I "liked" that the Exo-suit or mecha entered a mode similar to Berserk from a certain anime that I'm not going to say
