Wow! A bit of true action on a survival horror.
And suddenly, everyone is saving everyone.

The finale of Brad Wong was... pathetic?

Uncharacteristically short for anime, but refreshing -- the story can move on!

This arc was pretty crappy.

I didn't like how we were supposed to feel sorry for Brad Wong (Blood War?) and Lee's brother but otherwise it was a good episode.

This was such a great episode.
Apologies, I just can't avoid to rant.

Well, Wong's life sure hasn't been going well this episode. Story moves on indeed but his life has just come to a close.

Awesome episode. Didn't expect Blood War to turn into undead at the end.

So I am speculating that Harry will probably use this technology for necrolyzing in the future.. but I am still wondering why will Brandon betray him..

Anyway, I am also suprised that Blood War died already. I thought he could be a pretty strong nemesis for Brandon.

Pretty good episode despite a whole lot of convenient things happening left and right.

Well at least these two terrible characters are dead so we can finally move on.

I somehow wish they had left this "supernatural" element out with the zombies...but I'm still excited to continue it :)

That cheap way to try and make us sympathize with 1D poorly written villains shoehorned in the end. What would we of done without seeing their struggles in war? This anime is so volatile, I feel like every other episode is awful and the next is amazing. It's clear that when we have a focus on super natural, or matrix-esque action, or these short term villains we just had, that the show goes downhill really hard.
Lee is a ninja, and he's so ninja that he uses knives and doesn't even keep a gun on him.
Everyone saved everyone in the nick of time, very convenient, even the zombies disappeared at the perfect moment for everyone involved.
Blood War took his serum right before dying to become an even bigger 1D meathead.
There was a plot twist that Lee was Cannon's brother, cool, but wasn't there like a scene where he was talking to Blood War and he was all "yo im gonna join you guys now" and Blood was all "nice to have you on the team man". Maybe I'm remembering wrong but I thought it was clear he just joined Lightening recently.

The three things I did like:
When Harry came out from the back and shot Cannon.
The quote "An ambition that's too big tends to fall apart from the inside", which I think is actually pretty much going to sum up Harry as we continue.
And the fact that these horrible, horrible, horrible villains who sucked all the life out of the show are gone. But knowing vaguely what happens I can only assume it may get worse. Still good sign freaking Blood War and Cannon Vulcan are gone.
And good news if the formula continues, next episode will be godlike!

Can't say I'm surprised blood war bit the dust already, but he definitely gave it his all.

Harry is sure good at negotiating with people to join his side with Lee betraying his mission to stay with Harry.

I really like Bunji him and Brandon make a good team and Lex Lang does a standout job voicing him in the dub.

Now with cannon and blood war dead I wonder what will happen in the story next.

This episode was something, to say the least. I'm not going to mention all the inconsistencies and conveniences since I'd be repeating what everyone else has already mentioned at this point. What I want to know is why Blood war initially decided to slink away and die alone, since it goes against his mantra of going out with a bang.

Biological weaponry and the ethics of science weren't themes that I was expecting when I went into this. I'm glad that this show has something to differentiate itself from all the rest, though I find the mafia story beats to be more tried and true.

Necro-Rise looks like a real bitch to deal with. That durability is uncanny. There's no doubt in my mind that Millennion will be looking to acquire the formula for it next.

It was a interesting how things turned out for Lightening. Though disappointing that it only lasted this long.
