Citrix said: Nothing much happening but so refreshing to watch an anime that wasn't have a fan service scene every 5 minutes. Damn right it's refreshing! LOL |
| Ha! They must have gotten a real American or someone who's actually fluent in English to speak for that white guy. The episode wasn't very exciting, but it was at least informative. And next week should be an interesting, and hopefully more balanced and challenging, battle.  |
 |
| That was an interesting ep~ o: I wonder who the person at the end was, a professor? xD |

origami-samurai said: Don't know why people say the animation is bad, It's decent enough for people to watch -_- agree the animation is just serving it's purpose to be like that and it's pretty alright and fitting :) |
windy said: i wanted to give masyu a hug. poor thing. King_Moshi said: Q is so Q-te. ^-^ I agree with both. >w< |
 |
| Quality is just fine, if you ask me. So Mikuni has two assets? |
| it was good. btw what's up with Q? is she sleepy? lol |
This ep definitely connected many dots for me. Finally, I UNDERSTAND!! Definitely, people who think nothing happened in this episode should rewatch the second half and pay close attention :) Quality is just fine, if you ask me. So Mikuni has two assets? Yeah, people are too nitpicky about quality if you ask me ._. I think Mikuni has at least 3 assets (Episode 1 asset, Q, and the one who hangs out with Q) |

| Now there's something I haven't thought about...using money with the idea of helping someone? Hmm, right...interesting episode nonetheless... |
| nothing much agreed =D but even it's nice epi |
| Lots of explaining in this episode, and a psychological nightmare for children. ( Finding a corpse in their playground) |

Anyways, had to pay quiet a lot of attention to this episode. Masakaki with less screen time is a no-no! (supporting character after all *sigh* Hmmm...so people do know about the Midas money flowing in the real world~ interesting. |

| I'm thinking more along the lines that Kimimaro's dad was part of Mikuni's guild, which is why Q questioned not inviting Kimimaro to the guild. Mikuni is interesting though, being set up at the antagonist but so far helping Kimimaro. |
| How many episodes will this anime have anyway? From the very slowly rolling out plot and some hint in outtro I assume 26, but if its 12 I'll really give up all my hopes after another such dreary episode. |

 |
| While not much happened, it was still relatively an ok episode. At least we got more background information on the characters that seem to be part of the main cast. I'll be looking forward to next weeks episode, it looks like it could be interesting. I wonder if he is one of his professors? |
ShortTermCrook said: such dreary episode. Sure drop it, you won't like it anyway. If anything this episode saved the show, clarified a lot of things about the plot. It was necessary as a set up for future action (i.e., shit is going to get real very soon) |

| CGI for the first episode seemed like it was gonna be annoying, the story seemed it wasn't going to have much layers and i would eventually drop it after a few more episodes. But after Episode 2 and 3, I find myself liking the animation and being very interested in the story... |
| too much talking i fell asleep no joke.. |
 |
| Animation. /facedeck |
| OMG OMG ....IN THE END , HE MEETS HIS FATHER RIGHT???? I mean , he will duel with the person of the same face as his father(?) oh I'm just getting so excited about this anime *0* (some one correct me if im wrong!!) I really like the girl (err...or should I said the ASSET with red hair and 2 devilish horns? LOL) Anyway for now I give it a Masterpiece title ,:"P |

| And here is was hoping the rich dude was his father. And to bad there's no manga, i want to know what happens! |
| So we learn more about his father... overall, okay episode... loved the "wolf-asset" :) w00t battle with econ professor lol |
  |
| Sort of slow, but the whole thing with his dad and motivating him to take part in deals made this episode worth it. |
| Interesting episode. Jennifer (I think her name is?) I really like so far. I would probably be like her, make smaller gains but lose less if she loses. Micro mezzo macro and more explanations are liked :D Kimimaro finds more about his father, and talks with Mikuni. Don't really know why he decided to spill all that stuff to him ... hmm ... :3 Masakaki should get more screen time lol XD Looks like he's going to battle a classmate next? ;O Also, I was very impressed with the English lol :P I love the animation so far, it's so cool lol XD Battles / deals are pretty cool as well :P |
| Great episode |

| Oh sro wronderfrul Engrish! |
| Money really is a problem. To bankrupt others or get bankrupted your self that is the final decision. |
 |
| Perfect episode, with a lot of developments and a great insight into the characters' psychology and the script's real meaning. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| This series is getting better and better. Oh, and lol at the girl's Engrish. |
| lol at the Japanese english, interesting episode |
| Q is so cute falling asleep like that... |
| Well the english was interesting |
| I don't know why but I really think that Mikuni is Kimimaro's father.It just seems very normal to me.But I must be wrong. And the Engrish??As always awful.. |
 |
| Poor Kimimaro, his father left him and his mom just for money. That really does suck. Oh and that Engrish was TERRIBLE XD Great Episode though :) |
 |
ZaggyPlushie said: Theres something really wrong with the animation or the broadcast. I'ts frameskipping a lot and I do hope that's not what they really animated because it looks very bad. Also the cg is really sub par, it's like playing a game on a bad computer that displays 15 fps. The anime is nice but the flaws are killing it. Agreed. |

| nice episode ending, I can't wait next ;D |
| lightness vs. darkness Nani mo kamo wo hoshigatteita Mayoeru mono no chikai Mada miru sekai o tsukuridasu koto Kuchi hateteiku |
| The lady with the dog demon is lucky... I would much rather work with an obediant animal then an opinionated humanesque demon. This goes for my everyday life too, I'd rather take the dog out then go out with my friends. :P It's obvious Kimimaro's dad is in the demon dimention; he's likely the guy with the little girl. This became clear before the diary entry; last week, when he was mentioned (a father that it) and the begining of this episode, where the dad's image was blocked in the picture. He seemed determent on meeting Kimimaro and arguing that his childhood was worst. |

Hypno-girl said: Engrish was engrish. Agreed. |
 |
| Mmm.. icecream. ANYWAY, wow, so Yoga's father was involved with Midas Bank as well. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| meh, this show isn't anything special so far. Just another action show with a card theme. |
 |
| Pretty slow episode. Not much to talk about really, just a bunch of small events leading up to where the episode ''should'' have taken off. Looking forward to the next! |
Nachotee said: The animaiton just keeps getting worse and worse. True but you cant deny that it is pretty interesting. And the addition of english was a good touch. |
Hypno-girl said: Engrish was engrish. Lol nah, the other guy sounded pretty good |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Braaap! |
