| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Action picked up quite a bit this episode and I gotta say, Aruka made some badass allies and enemies. Break out the whiskey~ >Hazuki drinks >Hazuki gets drunk And shit, Jin's allies shows no mercy in their fight. Still felt a bit rushed tbh with her already clashing with Aruka. I thought the fight was also cheesy and semi-cliffhangerish. |
 |
| Hazuki drunk again, and that fight seemed pretty one sided. |
My Candies:     |
| Still not 100% impressed with this anime, but I'm glad some things were revealed and less time than last week was wasted! I'd be very surprised if Alka wasn't ok, so I'm not worried about what will happen next there. |
| 'From my speeding car, I catch a glimpse through the trees of what looks like the ocean. Hope... a premonition. Every month, as I write, I am visited by such moments. The scene that follows is sometimes an ocean brighter than anything I could have imagined, sometimes a barren seashore littered with rocks, sometimes a place I once visited, sometimes a road that ends up going nowhere. I would like to end up at a heartbreakingly beautiful sea.' -Hiroyuki Asada, 2010 |
| Those eyes from Jin Varel, killer instinct. Also that fight was basically a massacre, pretty OP if you ask me. Although I didn't like that brunette girl shooting Aruka when things became interesting between her and Jin. |
| Are they going to massacre every group Alka comes across? Damn. The action scenes in this anime are cool but I don't really like anything else still. Hazuki needs to GTFO. |

| New character introduced; Dan Roana, the leader of Pleasure Gang. Nice to see her form ally with Aruka against Jin Varrel. Goddamnit.. Hazuki is becoming more annoying each episode. -.- She needs to be taken out soon. Seems like Aruka is no different from Jin; completely dead inside.. Battle begins. Jin vs. Aruka started off good. That inscription is quite special to withstand the Impurity. That guy with that awesome eyeglass seems to be an observer for Karen. Good episode. |
 |
| good episode. some story progression really like the fight scenes. |
| WOW that is a BS ending. What the F-ck Hazuki... |
| show me rainbow |
| Hate Keeps me warm |
| Definitely a lot better than the previous 2 episodes but still nothing amazing yet. The story in the game is actually really good so i'm hoping they'll pick it up in the anime. |
| The beginning music for that first scene was interesting. Wasn't expecting to see the bounty hunter girl back so soon. Alka got hit :o That little dude was her master :P The pleasure gang got pulverized. Decent episode with some cool fights. Awe ED sequence is the same, I was hoping it would change every week. |
| I still don't wtf they're doing with the character of Jin Seo Yeon in this. Who is this imposter? Why is she suddenly all emo? She hasn't even done her trademark evil laugh... AND WHERE IS THE AVIATOR GIRL?!? TT^TT |
| If Hazuki ends up being Alka's ally, I'm going to be mad. She needs to be gutted. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Hazuki is stupid and so far a toaster has more personality than Aruka. Cool action though, let's see what happens next week :) |
| 4/5, watched for the action characters suck so far imo - especially Alka, who has no personality whatsoever. |
| Nudist Beach randomly shows up and coincidentally has the same motive as Alka. The first two episodes weren't great by any means, but this one easily showed the most flaws. |

 |
| Another future ally is introduced. I'm sure that bar mistress will shed some light to the mysteries behind impurity as well as Alka's past. Jin's lieutenants are OP as fuck. I might be the only one who likes Alka. Normally I don't like characters who show very little emotions like Tsumugu from NagiAsu or Gunzou from Ars Nova but Alka is different. Just like Roana said, she's dead inside but at the same time there's this aura about her that just doesn't give a fuck and I like that about her. If anything her mysteriousness is part of her charm and I prefer her any day over some hot-headed or megalomaniac protagonists who talk down his opponents. Alka means business and she's not shy about it. Redfoxoffire said: Nudist Beach randomly shows up and coincidentally has the same motive as Alka. The first two episodes weren't great by any means, but this one easily showed the most flaws. A group of rebels rising against a tyrannical empire is random? is it really that weird Palam has many enemies that want them crushed as much as Alka? |

| So basically no one can even approach Jin? That is a little too OP for me. I don't think this episode was rushed like some people are saying because it was normal fighters fighting demon powered fighters. It would and should be a crushing, but the main character getting stopped like that was a little too OP. Will see where it goes. |
  |
| another good episode first time we see Aruka screaming in pain |
LiquidGold said: alexpte said: My thoughts exactly.Getting shot before she does something epic, now that's a shame. +1. Seriously that idiot is shooting when the interesting part is happening.... Jin seems extemely overpowered with "Sasuke's mangekyou sharingan Amaterasu". Somehow that mark on Aruka/Alka activated and she could move in those black flames. Looking forward to the explanation of it. |

 Whats my age again? WHERE IS MY ASIAN FRIEND!!!!!!! |
| Damn i was expecting Alka to go berserk when that mark got activated but that bitch shot her :/ |
  |
| Pretty enjoyable episode again, dem boob physics tho. |
| I guess they are sticking with this ED animation. |

It's not that they exist, it's how they showed up. Their appearance was very much "as the plot demands." They were here because it was convenient for them to exist at this point in time, and we probably won't see much, if any, more of them after this point (especially since they're all dead). There was nothing suggesting their appearance prior to this episode. |

| Jiggly boobs everywhere. Fight scenes are relatively short but somewhat interesting. Was thinking of dropping this, but I'll probably keep going. |

Although I didn't like that brunette girl shooting Aruka when things became interesting between her and Jin. I thought it was coo, that she didn't hold back. She simply did her what she set out to do and there was none of the cliché "yeah, actually I kinda like you now" stuff... ...not that I think she actually shot her. She probably just ran out of energy. You don't just survive a headshot, even with training, so the bullet probably missed. Unless the next 10 episode are going to be her in a hospital bed? Yeah, didn't think so either. Have to say, I'm not too fond of this anime. It's currently at the bottom of the list. It doesn't do anything to me. I do like the fast-paced fight scenes (probably from growing up with DBZ), but otherwise, I don't really get it. Still want to see what happens in case it picks up. |
| Dropped for being another generic battle manga |
| "Burn the heretics" |
| Massacre. Aika beat her next time !!!! |
| Aruka screaming in pain was really cheesy. Made me cringe it was so bad. |
| Hazuki is starting to piss me off. I wonder what Ran mean when she said "I knew it". |
 |
| Aruka such a cool character, really enjoying the series so far. |
Nyaaaria- said: You really are the king of marathoning |
| Hazuki needs to just die already! I can't stand her character. Well, actually none of the characters are really all that impressive. Right now Karen and Loana seem to have the most potential. There's got to be some amazing secret about Karen if she has the ED all to herself. |
 |
| Bleh if you ask me, this was the weakest episode so far. So many flaws. The Pleasure Gang was stupid and I expected some kind of strategy from them rather than a frontal attack and get owned. Pretty sure their deaths were supposed to emotional as well but..............lulz. |
