Not great. The battle was alright, and the tentacles managed not to be too bothersome I'll give the ep a 3. Show most likely a 7 or 8 depending on the next episode.

DEM TENTACLES
OK maybe i missed something with the land invasion objects BUT WTF
jack has been hacking and slashing these things for 11 fucking episodes not once figured out that when they get covered in there bodily fluids they wont attack him
DEM TENTACLES
This pansy ass bastard who never made much of a difference shows up gets a little alien blood on him and is like wow now they wont kill meee hurrrr durrr
plot holes are REAL
Other than that good episode Jacks nigthingale was amazing!!!! Love the slight romance in this show
DEM TENTACLES


Well hunter had more than just a 'little' of their goop on him and Jack has never been shown to have more than splashes on him. Plus the situation here is a little unusual as there are so many objects in one spot so I don't think it's really a plot hole.

It's not just the blood. Hunter distinctly identified a specific organ which produces the hormone required to confuse the EIOs.

Jack also doesnt tend to get himself covered in the entirety of an EIOs guts. That happened to Hunter due to his lack of experience and his panicked attacks against an EIO which was already obviously defeated.

Hunter is so in over his head :P

I feel sorry for anyone that pisses off Geronimo.

Munroe effect was cool :O

Nice one Hunter.

Nightingale mode is impressive. My guess is that Jack has 2 E-genes.

"It can't end yet, I'm still a squirt." Sio :3

Great episode I'm looking forward to the finale.

Yeah. Hunter definitely is a wuss. But he was the right wuss in the right place to figure something important out. Like not to insult Sio in front of Ghandi. Seriously though, if it wasn't for him, the tide of battle was looking pretty grim.

But here's a thought. If Gaudi can manipulate stone like that, why didn't they just have him crush all the EIO's once they had them isolated in the sphere and the E-gene guys escaped? He seemed to be having no problem doing that on an individual basis in the sphere.

And it looks like Galiko will recover, though don't know about her eye yet.

When tentacles are involved, you know what's going to happen XD

Where did that Nightingale mode come from O__o
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness."

"May those who defy their fate be granted glory."

Once again, Jack helps Sio, this time saving her life with the newly shown Nightingale Mode. I researched and found out he has two E-genes so he is the e-gene holder of Jack the Ripper and Florence Nightingale, wow, did not know that could happen.

Hunter may be a wuss but he's still intelligent enough to turn the enemy against each other using their guts. Also Geronimo's ghost protocol looks awesome.
It's really nice that Asao has strong faith to Sio

Next episode: We get to see how awesome Nightingale mode is, yay.

Whew when the episode ended I thought WTF. Turns out this is 13 episodes lol....

All I gotta say is the author really put a lot of thought into the EIO. All of their evolution phases as well as the weaknesses are very well thought. Most other action anime would just have the characters slice through the enemy with constant power-ups till the end but here the author showed that such thing is unrealistic for the most part and devised a way so that they can win without having to resort to mere raw power.

The fact that they also addressed the social & personal impact of these kaiju attacks on the residents is also what separates this anime from the rest.

I didn't expect Jack to have the gene of Florence Nightangle as well. Geronimo's berserk mode is god damn scary. Glad they showed other e-gene holders like Rasputin, Van Gogh, etc even though it's brief.

Just wondering about Jack, either he:
1. Nightingale and Jack were actually the same beings
2. His parents had each carried Jack's and Nightingale's genes which caused him to have both

It'll also be funny if Hunter gets the highest Kill Count though :D

The tentacle rape stuff felt extremely out of place since there really hasn't been too much fanserve in the series thus far.

Its nice seeing all of the characters working together, and with Jack going to rescue Sio! But, the question is how can be be both Jack The Ripper and Florence Nightingale?

Also, I don't know if I've said it before, but Cyx is probably the ugliest anime character I've ever seen. I can barely stand to look at her... Newton isn't much better...But I do like Geronimo!

Jack the Ripper has two E-genes inside of him. A serial killer and a nurse. He's a walking oxymoron!

The tentacles lifting up Sio's outfit and just generally squirming around her underwear was highly unneeded.

Remember Jack the ripper is an alias...

There are some lores/info that said Jack the ripper possess medical skills... Nightingale is a nurse and also was a suspect of being jack the ripper (I search)

Jack the ripper takes off his skull mask... Therefore in this world... Florence Nightingale is Jack the ripper

This isnt the only.time jack was portrayed by a nurse (in kuroshitsuji too XD)

Nice logic...XD

Final ep... Here I come!!!

5/5

Remains above the previous episode, which escalated!
Plot that sees new interesting ideas and a tough enemy, but also opponents worthy of their name.
Pathos over 9000, great storytelling.
Drawings and animations, OK!
I hope that the ending is explosive.
