Ha, this episode had goofy moments, some that made the episode look silly. 

Not sure how I feel about the direction of this show's plot but feels like pacing slowed down. Nick and his party dealt with some troublemakers that ended in an awkward way. Honestly, felt like this was one of the weaker episodes.

If idols aren't enough, there is a publication company out there in the wild?

Nick and Co. encountering one in the form of adventurer-cum-writer Olivia Taylor investigating on the Labyrinth City legend of "Stepping Man", and Zem encountering a young girl being attacked by that same legend, with Nick and Kizuna confirming its existence on the rescue. Zem having learnt of his pedophile business from before, and accepting young Reina's request to be his teacher is certainly light years ahead. Since this legend is quite well known, making a quest out of it is the only way to get this legend moving.

The Garbage Collection slum where this Hale Hardy can be found but difficult to secure, the Survivors have to be careful with every step. The not-so-typical former priest of Dr. Nalgava treating Hale of his disease, if he's convicted of his wrongdoings, his life could end right then and there. But still, they won the bet, ordered for everyone in the house, and got their information on Stepping Man, which were nothing but mistaken identities, while a kidnapper at heart. That brings them to the reporter Olivia herself, and she was the only one that matched the specifications enough for Nick to second guess that she was the culprit that they were looking for.

Who exactly is this Olivia Taylor that broke their expectations? What a boisterious escape.

I thought the priest was gonna be stepping man because of his facial expression changing when Nick asked, but the girl?? That was unexpected. Even more unexpected was her literally doing a 1080 up kick through the fucking roof wtf Lmaoo.

Weaker episode compared to the last couple but Tina finessing gambling addicts never gets old

Zem said nah you can’t even be around me for 15 years lmaooo I feel you.

Tiana betting own money vs entire hunt guild and then using all prize pool for buying free drinks for all was hiralious, savage and brilliant xD

Also i like Curran still getting justice as a tank, for example being only one who take down both thugs.

Wow... did our misterious girl jumped stright to the moon? D:

What is it with Zem and young girls being attracted to him? At least he told her to wait 15 years lol. Tiana was clever in using the money from those that bet against and for her to buy drinks for everyone in the bar.

This felt more like a Scooby-Doo mystery-type episode and it looks like the reporter was using herself to create stories to sell magazines (and she would've gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling kids and their dragon). I do wonder how she manages to jump so high and have so much strength, I'm guessing we'll find out in the next episode.

Its up to Nick and the crew to discover who this stepping man is? a person who kidnaps children to who knows where?

Zem was the first to encounter stepping man as he saves a little girl from being kidnapped. Now we all know what happened to Zem at the beginning of the season with a young girl hence why he kindly rejected her offer to be his student. 

The survivors decide to accept a bounty for Hale a guy living in the garbage collection slum which is a horrid place to live in. They eventually find him and collect the bounty with Tiana winning a bet against a bounty hunter in the tavern and as for her 800k in winnings she decides to buy drinks for everyone in the tavern!! Now the talk about a mysterious reporter handing candy to kids and talking to them reminds them of a reporter that they encountered earlier. With Nick's suspicion radar at high alert he decides to approach the reporter and accuses her of being the stepping man. We find out soon enough that she is the stepping man as she makes one hell of an exit by jumping high up into the air kicking a table in half and flying through the roof. Considering she has metal chains on her, she is quite strong. 

Welp this Olivia reporter is really peaking my interest. Like why is she kidnapping kids??

If the series was like this since the beginning I would say it would be at least entertaining. But the beginning of the anime made it seem like a semi-serious plot and it's just failed to deliver imo.

It's still fine for what it is but if we get ANOTHER new story next week it's like "What's the point?"

Like why is the reporter stepping man? Will we find out? Because it seems like they're going into a labyrinth next week instead.

Again if each episode was a different story the way it has been I'd be cool but we need some progress.

Nice idea for an anime, but I was hoping for more. This seems pretty well episodic now. Cynical adventurers save the world? Ok, there's 3 episodes left, where's the saving the world part?

I liked it a lot more more than the two previous weeks!
Finally some action and some mystery!
Plus we finally get to see all the main cast again, and the episode even manages to strike some humoristic notes here and there.

Not a perfect episode by any means (more confused than ever about this show's world building -what with the western setting followed by what looks like the slums of a 20th century north american city), but had a good time overall! 
And more importantly, with that cliffhanger it made me excited for next week!

I honestly really liked this episode! And it seems like that girl is a dangerous one. Is she the stepping man? Don't think so, i more think about Nalgava, he's more of a guy that resembles the stepping man.

talking about some hero in a magasine article, Kizuna is really having fun
the girl who wrote that article came, and they were talking with each other by the window... when the door is right there... dude ...
the girl is a strange one, doing random dances and ending up in Curran's boobs
hopefully our team gives her some fun story for her magazine

Zem was drunk and following some random girl, who got caught by... a monster?
Nick and Kizuna left the idol concert and they enjoyed their time
Kizuna could feel Zem's presence and that he was in danger ... he was trying to protect the girl from an invisible enemy... but no one can hide from Kizuna... after he used his kage bushins, the enemy left
they took the girl to the cabaret place, where she told them about her mother and the stepping man who kidnaps kids
havig seen that with their own eyes, the main team believes her and will help her
thanks to him protecting her, Zem is now her teacher lols but at least for 15 years, she isn't allowed to go close to him, because of the problem he had with kids before
Kizuna was mad that the stepping man he admired is such a trash character

they decided to go to hte guild to get information on the stepping man bounty, and the guild girl is a baka who told them what they wanted to know without wanting to lol
the other guys were annoyed that they were taking their quests
let's first take care of some small enemy before the guild lets us on more advanced targets

lols random adventurer thinking he can do bets again't Tiana? freaking noob :D
everyone else there also started to bet , this could be interesting

thanks to the guild's info, they went to a place where not even the Order of the sun has any authority there... lots of criminals roam free in there, probably including the one they want
"the pet dog had 10 puppies, all male" wtf is that how it works?
well good luck venturing into such a dangerous place... also better not get in the way of Nalgarva...

as expected from a slump, it semlls bad and there's stuff all over the floor lol
some thugs already appeared and are ready for a fight, but they got beat in half a second lols idiots
they got the info they wanted about hare, and the guy received some herbs, to stop him from taking bad pills
holy shit, the people there probably are all ill, there's even rats walking near them, geez

the guy they wanted was having some fun with a girl, and he tried to escape but Kizuna caught him
the doctor came to stop them but decided to let them take him since he did crimes... not before treating him one last time, and talking with Rem about being a priest
Hare told them about a reporter who was luring kids, let's hope it's not the green haired girl lol

they got the job done, and Tiana used the betting money to buy drinks for everyone, isn't she a nice girl?
next day, they got Hare's bounty as well as a ton of papers about stepping man
they saw the reporter girl giving candy to the girl from earlier... and Curran remembered that she was quite heavy, as if she had some chains on her...
after a bit of talking, the girl got enough and just went out the ceiling lol she scared the shit out of Nick with that kick that broke the table ... which is back down and in perfect position hahaha
wow, surprised this anime has a cliffhanger, dafuq
favorite "new girls" from fall <3 (lol i only watched these) ... click sig for older seasons

so clean escape LMAO

something tells me that she's not the stepping man, its another trick to deceive us, that's she is hunting the stepping man

craziest possibility is she is playing stepping man so she could write a story

wait 15 years huh... (so she'll be around 30-ish)

.

Well, I sorta guess it's the girl.

Since when they encounter the Stepping Man, there was a tiny "female voice" over the voice changer when Stepping Man talked.
