So it only took 2 episodes for Gonzo to go to shit on this show. I will keep watching to see more of the downward spiral that Gonzo is famous for

Episode was ok, action was good.

What a waste of an episode... with only 11 left to go? Where is the story going?

The leader of the evil group reminds me of a matured version of Saya from Blood+. The killing tension sucked! She should of killed him with her blade or at least have some henchmen take care of minor things like these... just a showboat episode I guess.

Still don't know much about the heroine past. The newly introduced characters were interesting, especially the lady with the revolvers. She took me for a surprise! I thought she was the equivalent to Team Rocket or something. Hoping the next episode is better!

People really try to find derps in GOnzo shows huh?
C'mon the CG was one scene, and people go ape shit. If it was Bones, no one would care.

Anyways the CG was bad, but won't care since the fight scene looked amazing.

Otherwise zzzz episode.

Bad Gonzo CG is bad.

Nice action at the end there.

Seems we are going to be following Aruka around each episode as she meets/kills new people.

I expected for this to be average, but it's pretty damn boring so far. I hate the silent main chick. The action is good but I pretty much don't care about the characters and that makes the all experience ruined.

Ah well. still have a great MMO to play it. ˇˇ

Episode not bad, I like this anime, at least the performance is different from what you might imagine, Alka has not brought back the girl of the village and not talk a lot, as would a ninja.
Too bad the graphics, starting with the scenarios, is not great.
Even the CG used with Karen was not the greatest. Oh well, here we would have to do a speech before blaming the Gonzo, we should know how much budget has been allocated to carry out the series. Since the work previously done by Studio Gonzo, more than good the movie Bayonetta.
Plot yet to be discovered, not bad storytelling. Very interesting clash between Alka and Jin.
Karen also no joke, who knows who he is. Ending very beautiful, can not wait to come out the full version.

I like this episode better than the prior, but it was still kind of meh. I enjoyed the fights a bit and I think Karen is awesome, but there is something in Aruka's persona that feels off to me. Like they are trying too hard to make her be this cold, calm, and cool assassin but she really just seems like someone who's oblivious to her surroundings and doesn't really think or use her brains much.

Well, going to watch a bit more and see because now I need more of Karen-sama *w*

Unfortunately the artwork took a downgrade in the second episode but it was expected since probably this isn't a big budget show, still love the this style of character artwork though. The CG dance thing might have looked terrible but i don't get why people are making such a big fuss about it. It's just a minor scene. Other CG stuff like the bullets etc looked fine.

I couldn't understand why she stood like a whore. She wanted to earn money?


Lol, i am quite certain that is just misunderstanding. She didn't knew that the spot she was standing was a whoring spot.

Okay development but the pacing is still quite bad and that CGI was quite awful, not sure why they even resulted on using it...

If this is going to continue with half of the screen being black while the action scenes are going then I won't even bother to continue watching this..


This. Think I'll have to find the BD version and hope for the best.

The action was intense. Definitely better than expected.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Lol at these comments here.. "Awful CGI, horrible CGI, bad CGI, that CGI was laughable" etc. Why I'm having a déjà vu?

Well, this was a great episode. Nice action scenes.

I think that CGI dance was beautiful and Karen looked so gorgeous. What a lady.

Hazuki is a hilarious character. That drinking scene was amusing. xD I'm not just sure how she figured out that Alka was the one she was searching for.

[Spoilers?]

Why do terrible writers always make the protagonist both the most amazing, yet completely incompetent so they can advance their story-line? Are the writers really that terrible where they can't figure out a better, more reasonable way to accomplish the same thing?

This show has so much potential, yet I'm already seeing the result of crap writers ruining everything because they are trash and need to stop writing.

Episode Two was just like Episode One. It kept me interested, it developed the plot a little further, it introduced new characters that will play a role in the series, and the MC continued to be dry and really the only weakness (but a big one) through two episodes. It will be interesting to see if Episode Three will be any different.
