| Good episode,but nothing special. |
  |
| uh what? Was that it Jin Varel vs Alka? Not an intense fight at all... |

| that sucked....... badly. seriously that lightening shit got on my nerves. what an anti-climatic fight. Did Jin Varel really die? She was the only reason I was still watching this show QQ. |
| I wonder how I manage not to drop this show. Every episode was weak and boring :/ |
| Well that fight was mediocre, but what was with the ending, why did she ditch one of her blades? Poor Yuu though :/ Alka vs Karen, I wonder why? XD |
| Hrmmmm.... I'm not sure what to make of this episode. I couldn't really figure out if there was a point, or if the entire concept of this episode was to flash random shit at us for no reason at all. The pacing was atrocious, couldn't keep any semblance of flow at all. The fight was poorly animated and the lightning was more a distraction than an enhancement, the only really cool part was weird animal kid keeping the impurity at bay. Considering this series hasn't really explained anything that it's given us thus far, I'm still lost as to exactly what the point behind the butterfly mark is. I'm guessing it's supposed to allow Alka to fight the impurity, and if I'm not mistaken it healed her of the impurity at one point, so why couldn't she save the weird animal kid with it? If Jin Varrel is really dead that would be a complete waste of what could have been an epic showdown, if Jin Varrel is actually still alive it's just poor story development. It's lose/lose either way. This is probably the worst episode so far. 4/10 is the best I can give this one. |
| Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me. |
| Awesome episode full of development and I'm amazed at the fight between Jin x Alka. Still a huge mystery behind Jin history and past, her white clothing during her death scene. I hope she comes back somehow or is related to Alka somehow... Yun death... omg this episode could of been 2-3 instead of one. What a waste of good series :( |
 |
| After 8 episodes Alka finally starts to act like a main character! |

Arlia said: This episode was indeed made by the same director. Shigeyasu Yamauchi directed and storyboarded ths episode. Furthermore his bro Junichi Hayama was the animaton director. That's the reason why this episode as well as the characters looked and moved so different. Oï Oî.. That battle... How they animated it. It"s nearly identical to the 5th Saint Seiya Movie. Everything is the same. How they move, how they clash, how the shooting is done, how the camera move. It's too much to be a mere coincidence. Who the hell is the staff behind this episode ? Yamauchi is a actually a pretty great director, but his reliance on close-ups doesn't work so well with action scenes. Just look at the fights in Casshern Sins or Yumekui Merry. http://sakuga.yshi.org/data/2e8a931cffa387ade4cba09e7f0afadc.gif http://sakuga.yshi.org/data/bfcdaffde95c9ea31e911edc398ecd73.gif Not even the characters themselves know what the fuck is going on there. |
| this what happens when an adventure anime only spans for 13 episodes |
| My Guitar Covers: Playlist I CAN ALWAYS SHOW MY EVERYTHING TO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU |
| I love how when the midget says "If the impurity spreads through my entire body, I'll die" , everyone gasps in this solemn moment except Alka, whose just grinning and nonchalant as fuck. Am I the only person underwhelmed by this supposedly "dramatic" final battle between Jin and Alka? Kinda looked like they danced around to a lightning background and then boom, the end. |
| Everything good but why this tears... Alka still rulez. |
 |
| Thought it was a good episode. Sucks the midget died. The fight was alright but I didn't expect Jin to die. |
 |
| quality of the fights have dropped |
| I was pleased with this episode mostly because Alka showed more personality. I liked that she came out of her shell a bit like when they shared that egg looking food. I actually hated this show earlier on for Alka being so quiet, so in this episode where people see not-so-intense fight, I see this episode as good because it gave Alka the character development that I had been waiting for. Before this episode I also felt a little surge of emotion coming from Alka when she let that guy who hired her die, I was like :0 Cause she actually picked sides for a lady that was little more than an acquaintance (Karen). |
| lol i see I'm not the only one who was disappointed with that fight scene jesus WERE THEY EVEN TRYING ! XD ep was meh at best really didnt get any feels for that little guy I think the best part was when it started to rain when he finally died felt like there was some other meaning behind it well i mean it wasn't random XD obv idk |
 |
| Why does everyone think Jin died? I'm pretty sure she didn't and I'm expecting something like an evolved Jin(lol wdf ik) |
| So... Alka finaly got her revenge, huh. Felt quite anticlimactic to me. She finally showed a tiny shred of emotion also. |
| 4/5 Well! I am puzzled about the clash, if they do it again, I'd be happy to see him. Narration very spiritual, with yet another sad moment. Jeez! They die like flies ... It's not bad storytelling but in some places it runs too, do not hurt the plot becomes more Alka centric this time. Drawing enough, I wonder if they put a apezza during the BD, so it's a shame to see them and they should also better tailor the narrative ... Oh well, we'll see! The next episode looks interesting, but I wonder what Ran is pointing? |
 |
| Disapointing battle really. The end was nice, but boy was the fight lacking in the... everything department. |
| This anime is the embodiment of mediocrity |
JohnC said: This is nowhere near related to Casshern Sins. Casshern Sins was a lot slower paced with fight scenes to break the monotony but to be honest, I thought Casshern Sins was great unlike this pathetic anime.Interesting, Brobot. I did think it felt very Casshern Sins and was going to check if some of the same people were involved in this episode. |
| So that's it? Jin Varrel is dead with 5 episodes to go? |
 |
| You call that an anime fight? Are you kidding me? The execution is one of the worst I've ever seen. |
 |
| Hah hah, so I watched the fight and I though "this feels like wannabe Casshern Sins, I wonder if some of the same storyboarders or animators worked on it?" Then I went onto ANN and found out that, surprise surprise, Shigeyasu Yamauchi, who directed casshern sins, also storyboarded this episode. The good part about this is that he's developed a unique style that is recognizable in any anime. The bad part is that his style didn't really work so well for this fight scene. There were too many close ups and I think the fight would have benefited from more intensity. At least it was *interesting* though, which isn't something we can really say about most of this series. |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| Show me rainbow after the rain! Unfortunately, I don't think there'll be a rainbow to show after this rain. Little Yuu... NO!!! That was one weird fight between Alka and Jin. I'm still not sure what I just saw. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| So Jin is dead.... whats the point with the rest of the show now?... I was actually satisfied with the battle. Alka and Yuu teaming together was cool. |
~my list
| Uh..lol? |
| did half the staff quit after couple of EPs or some shit? wtf is this shit? another wasted potential.. I am disgusted. |
 |
| The action wasn't too bad but the drama was just too forced... |
 |
| This episode had some nice visuals... I mean, here ya go... the best reasons to watch this anime. http://imgur.com/a/P4a02 |
| I don't need no instructions to know how to rock! |
| So Jin Varrel died? Also that fight seen was pretty bad |
| The death toll is too damn high:S |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| R.I.P both Yuu and Jin(?) That fight wasn't so intense to be honest. After the first few episodes this show went downhill. |
