Well, episode was ok.

At least until the girls from the ED show up ;)


Have you REALLY watched the Anime or just starred at Eve's ass during the entire Epi? Or maybe you just FF to the ED to droll over?

Take a VERY closer look at the time when all the invisible stuff goes back to normal. If you can't see a window there, just give up on watching animes as a whole...

if that magician kid can throw the knife through the window, then how come the knife that eve throw won't hit him? it is not like the knife couldn't break the glass, nor the kid has move away from the window (i think he stand still at that time...)

so i agree with coldbeans that you shouldn't ask much about the anime otherwise you will ask if the purpose of their (bad guy) mission is to track down the priest, why wouldn't they follow the eve and yamada (lol) quietly from the begining, instead of attaking them and got one of elite four killed...

anyway, that yamada surely pissed me off in this episode... hope he grow up a bit in later episode...

This was not as over-the-top as the first episode, and as a result, I did not like it as much as the first. Hopedully this will go to being nonstop mindless cheesy action, as that is what I am watching this series for.

Kill off Cruz then replace, and the show would improve 50%. I can handle the stupidity the show has from time to time. However, after two episode of hearing him whine is enough to make my ears bleed. If I wanted that I would watch the Lifetime channel. Will give it another episode or two before the hammer falls...

First episode was awful, this episode was better but still bad. The comedy aint funny, the action and dialogue is terrible, the characters are lame. Not very good animation, uses to much fan service for attention. This series is pretty crap. I will watch one more episode but i will probably drop after that.

Hmm...unfortunately this show is just not what I was expecting. It sounded pretty bad-ass, but it comes off as just way too 'Saturday morning cartoon' if you know what I mean.

Oh well, I gave it a try, but it's just not my thing.

I think people take this show a bit too seriously.

From what I can tell by the first two eps, this seems to be more of a parody than a straight-out action series. The nonsensical (but great) ED is a good indication of that.

Still, I'm greatly enjoying this show.

Haha. Giga Drill. Even though TTGL came afterwards.

I really want this anime to get better. I really like it, but I feel like it's progressing a bit too fast. They've already gone through 2 of the Needless guys and they're not giving enough time to give the villains proper character development. They could give them a little more screen time instead of just the scenes where they fight and get killed off.

I think that too~~ ^_^

actually i was disappointed when the magician comes out out in Ep2 because i know the animators will make him weak since it's tooo early for a boss battle.

Oh no. This is becoming one of those anime where the villains talk the whole time during the fight instead of just killing the good guys quickly while they have a chance.

Yamada (Cruz) is also really annoying at the moment. I hate it when they make a main character who does absolutely nothing. NOTICING A SPILT DRINK IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

Show was a 10. Dropped to 9 for me. Will probably drop more too.

That's because they are strong as a group but weak individually. Standard villian (and hero) plot device.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

I kind of feel nauseous right now...I think I cracked a smile at Blade stalking Cruz (where did the name Yamada come from anyway...? I liked the name Cruz) to buy him some cigarettes but the smiles end there.

I'm only sticking with it because one of my favorite series (Twelve Kingdoms) started off with the worst 5-6 episodes I've ever seen (...well up until now) before it became amazing. I'm still holding off some hope.

I enjoyed this episode. It was very Eve-centric <3
I think I prefer her drill outfit after seeing it in action xD

I was disappointed to see Uten die so soon though.
I liked his magician-styled powers. "It's a magic!"

Overall, I'm liking the show so far. The only downside is Yamada.
His wimpy I-can't-do-anything attitude is getting on my nerves >.>

How did he throw swords through a wall? Well I guess there could have been a small window or doorway he could just move to the side to throw them with and just go back. The spiked ball didn't just appear on the ground, it appeared out of thin air? I guess he could have broke a chain or something... or someone could have helped him... why didn't that someone do anything? Well it's stupid to ask these kinds of question with anything to do with fantasy type stuff... cause that would be just picking and choosing what doesn't make sense to you... like letting "needless powers" that defy scientific law slide and stupid things not slide... making my whole post void. but i guess you can say the powers were on purpose and the stupid things were most likely slip ups. Aww w/e. Decent episode I guess.

Anyways, good episode. I loved to see Eve and her powers. So, 1 of the 4 strongest was killed that fast? Eve must be really strong. Who knew that DoraDora drink will save their lives? Lmao, so random man.

No father action in this episode though. :(

The fact that you hear Yamada being emo for most part of this episode is really disappointing, at some point i was only wondering when he was going to shut up.
I found first episode nothing special either, i will try one more episode to see if something might interest me.

that was stupid , how did she even noe what material the wall was made of? and why didnt he just made himself transparent shesh

I would guess that he couldn't make himself invisible without effecting his own site. It's been theorized that the Invisible Woman from the Fantastic Four has a sort of psychic ability to see things when turns herself invisible. The eyes need to be able to see, and thus the eyeballs and optic nerves can't be turned invisible else she becomes blind.
If Sue Storm had infrared vision, she could see without psychic powers, and still be "invisible".
Anyway, I think he stayed visible because he's nuts and wants people to think he can create shit.

Rare to see an anime where the antagonists are killed so quickly too. I wonder what their replenishment rate will be.
