Well, this is getting good I guess.

Looking forward to that fight.

I dislike the first episodes, thought the second one was an improvements but still just okay, but episode 3's finally gotten me hooked. I think I'm in this one for the long haul now. Bring on more Bantorra, says I!

Great episode with a lot of good developments, nice animation and direction, and an ever growing darker atmosphere. Tatakau Shisho may be the huge surprise of this season, it's the show that impressed me the most comparatively to my initial expectations. Coherent, well-made and solid, I like it.

C'mon girl, don't open da windows w/o your clothes on!!! Put on some string at the very least!!! Seriously, what's up with girls these days being so shameless? Walking in the nude and stuffs?

And WTF is this? Is it me or the dumb clown is dumb? I was expecting him to be wise enough to prepare some back-up in case nude gal rebels with her German-name-sword, but guess I was wrong....

Well, I still need to know WTF is up with the rip-off-Gintama dude and enjoy gawking Hamyuts while she lasts ( Yeah, she's just that awesome and no, it's not because of her boobs. I will still watch her even if she's flat ;) Just have a weak spot for gals with some humor compared to the dumb bitches featured as the female leads these days.) before dropping this show....

That was... thrilling. For the first time I felt that the ep was too short. As expected, this anime grows better and better.
I wonder what they will do with this horrible disease...

That looks hurts... taking bomb out of Colio is...

Will he be able to get love since he's not bomb guy anymore?

this episode turned out to be amazing to my surprise because the 1st episode represented the zenith of ugliness...started to get a liking fr the opening though bitched abt it in the 1st ep...
so hamyutsu meseta took out the bomb thing from colio that makes him human agn...then why did she kill the others and not him??...maybe she has a crush on him...he he..voken is like a kid who just entered pubery...extreme rage, saying no to everything, arguing all the time...hes seriously irritating...hes just a pretty little thing in the corner..thats all...hes saved by it..anyways..that whole zombie thing was creepy...
maybe the girl in the past saw colio in the future and she tries to say somthing to him which will save the humanty from the dragon pnemonia crisis.
cant belive this series is developing in a good way...not hesitating to say cant wait for the next ep....hope it doesnt dissapoint...

She didn't kill him at first because she wanted the book and he was "reading" the piece he just found. Then, she took the piece from him, felt bad for me, and ripped the bomb out of his chest (ouch)

Anyway, i agree with what a lot of people are saying here, the first two episodes were , meh, and this was awesome. Hopefully they can keep up the good story with all the darkness in it. This might become my favorite anime of the season if it continues like this episode.

watched episode 3 and it was another average episode, nothing special or too much interesting happened in the episode.
episode 2 was much more interesting then this episode.
i hope the more episodes like episode 2 will be coming and not episodes like this one.

i rate this episode 3/5, just and average episode :/

Wow, I was totally confused at the start of this episode since it didn't address the cliffhanger we were left at last ep. But I guess Hamutz decided not to kill Colio right away because she'd worked out he had a connection to that book.

Whatevs, Hamutz really bothers me for many reasons and I know it's not likely to happen but I wish she'd die. I rather like Mirepoc though, hope she is badass and fights and doesn't let the guys protect her instead.

HAMYUTS MESETA IS BUNNY AHOGE RIBBON PSYCHO ROMI PAKU SEX.

I'm looking forward to Colio's development, and hoping the book guy introduces himself next ep, since he went to the trouble of giving pieces of the book to Colio and then approaching HumanRights-kun. I wonder that he wasn't just planting those pieces on Colio so that Hamyuts would stumble on them the next time she went after Meats? And woah, this is getting intense fast for something that will actually get a full 26 episodes. Easily one of my favorites this season.

Quite a boring episode. It's kind of dumb that the cliffhanger was totally contrived and not addressed, and to top it off almost the whole of the first half was a flashback. The show is still piece-y, but at least the wretched cgi got better.

The flashback was probably the best thing that's happened so far in this show. Except for, perhaps, Hamutz ripping out Colio's bomb.

I would not trust a guy who looks as obviously evil as Cigal does O.o
And the OP starts to grow onto me, at least the song itself. The visuals of it are horrible.
So, in this laughing witch's book, or whatever she was called, why is it always sunset?
And that clown-ish devilguy, or whatever he is, from the memories of her life, what the heck is he anyway? Looks weird, and .. just plain strange >.>

Ehhh!? She.. Took out.. the bomb? Just like that?xD Oh lawd
So, what're they gonna do? They got Dragon Pneumonia (or whatever it's called) xD..

And somehow, I find it strange that Noloty's skin is in a darker shade, yet she's got blue eyes, looks really strange I say, but sure, she might have quite a tan.

Anyway, I like Shiron, can't help it.

this episode won it all for me.

i was waiting to see more of hamutz being badass, which i did. i was waiting for the bomb fag to realize he's human already, which he did. the little morally correct green-haired queer got put in his place, and the shiron book got clarified almost completely in this ep.

i personally think it's the best NEW anime out

I guess this is one of those series out there that you would easily be turned off at first sight but will actually turn into a really good one if given the chance. :'p

This show is improving but not at a pace I'd hoped so. Still needs a lot of improvement in terms of character and story development in order to become a good show but so far it seems it's going in the right direction so I might stick around and see how it goes. Once again I'm glad I didn't see any horrible CGI this episode.
