Even more awesomeness this episode. The OP song is quite something:

The energy of this show never ceases to amaze me yet. Still a few funny moments here and there:

The roller-coaster scene was seriously amusing to watch. Craziest roller coast ride ever period. Dat face-off though. I really find some of the intimidations to be memorable. The green hero is also a certain kind of awesome.

Ah so she wasn't actually Nozomi's sister, don't know how I missed that last week. But yeah I guess we're done with the prologue and now with the last few minutes of this episode the actual plot can begin!

A world where barfs can make rainbows!

It was fun with Nozomi being really slow about things. That was quite the ride xD

Masami's reason to hide it, really enjoyed the enemy be normal such as crying and wanting to stop it.

That robot causing that much damage lol, cool fights with all its colour effects!

A request to gather all the mysterious stones.

How am I supposed to care about any of these characters dying on the rollercoaster (and they obviously won't)? It's been two episodes and they've provided almost no worthwhile information on them. It just feels like it's trying way too hard to be different. The art direction is starting to seem kind of arrogant, too.

Another week at 110% full bore craziness. And now the party forms. What are the chances that all 4 were friends in pre-school and only Chiaya remembers (after all the other three are not the brightest bulbs on the marquee)?

Black Carpenters. Loved the staging. Hope it keeps going at this rate.

Definitely a lot of fun, the Indie Rock based OST makes me think FLCL. There are still a lot of questions to answer, especially with the whole best and normal thing and the stones but it seems like we're actually out of the gates finally and heading in that direction.

Fun episode, I like how crazy it gets but I do have to say that I don't care for any of the characters because they're immortal or so it seems. The last scene is more than confusing and forced. I still don't know what the main plot is but I'm looking forward to know. Anyway cool episode and ost

Fun episode. Sucks that Masami is out of commission for a while, she was my favorite girl.

The back story of Masami and Nozomi sort of confused me, I'll have to go back and watch it. And I'm not really sure why we even gave focus to that one chick's back story too.

Not as strong as the first episode, but the craziness was still all the way up to 11.

This was a fun episode.

The roller coaster scene was crazy.

I look forward to the next one now that the four girls have come together. My bet is that they were childhood friends.

Not sure if this has been remarked on in the first episode's discussion, but apparently all the songs that have been used in the show so far (OP, ED and one insert song for each episode) are covers of songs by the late 80's-early 90's punk band The Blue Hearts. For comparison:

The OP - Hito ni Yasashiku
The ED - Tsuki no Bakugekiki
Ep.1 insert song - 1000 no Violin
Ep.2 insert song - Yūsha ni Akogarete

So far, it has been a very fun ride. But now that the "Rolling Girls" are formed, I hope the series retains that factor, or even excels further. It would be pretty dissapointing if this turned out to be a plain CGDCT SoL with a paper-thin plot, given the exciting over-the-top setup.

Very interesting... I was starting to wonder why all those covers were so catchy and upbeat. They all fit in incredibly well with the anime so far.

Eveyone already figured Masami was Maccha Green except for Nozomi lmao. The fight between Maccha Green and that crazy bitch was awesome, very KLK like.

This show is definitely flying under everyone's radar, which is sad cause its fucking awesome. 5/5

How the hell is the show ranked so low? In the 2000's?!? You gotta be kidding me! Hopefully that changes by the time the anime finishes and when the majority of people rank the show because so far, this has to be the most underrated show of the season, literally.

Anyways...

Wow, this episode was even better than the first! I'm glad the whole thing involving Maccha Green was resolved, I would have been annoyed if everyone remained ignorant about Ma-chan, but the funny thing is that everyone in the squad new it was her all along XD

And I love the crocodile guy, I hope we see more of him!

And I liked Nozomi's parents, they're nice a couple and a cool parents. The dad was nice to let Nozomi go do her thing.

The main cast of girls seem to be pretty interesting, it was pretty funny and random how they all met up and decided to go on their adventure together. And it looks like Chiaya had a power stone or whatever so I wonder if all 4 of them will alternate on using its powers.

Cannot wait for next week.

Yup, it's just like the first episode, and it pretty much will stay the same for the rest.


This show is full of energy, just like a 8-year-old on sugar rush. See how long that can last.

If you already pulled a pearl harbor might as well let them drop to their death (which won't happen) in front of Masami's eye and force her into rage mode if I was Shigyou, but again, how evil is her? You spend the last episode showing she is not a fair player, doesn't care about The Twin Tower Declaration and we know she used to be good but now she is out of the game. Did I just miss at least two episodes worth of material? Great character.

If I was Nozomi I would let go of the roller coaster cart since everyone got blown out to the midair survive the fall almost without a scratch in the first episode. Come on, you can still use "common sense" even in this world.

Worst team assembling in history, ever! I expected they would at least spend three episodes to flesh out those 4 girls' characters and give us a grasp on their motivations of doing that, you know? like every other show that the main narrative is about team dynamic? It's going to suck hard when your heroines are so alien to your viewers.

Arbitrary without a solitary vision, self-centric without great talent. That is my impression of this anime.

Despite all those short-comings in story telling, I'm surprised that I'm just mildly irritated by the direction they are going for, I guess I'm more of a visual guy than I previously think, well, just wait until they run out of budget.

Forget about one thing: Take that picture good you girls, you would want to treasure it at the end of your journey, just like the feeling the ED of this season of JoJo gives me ( ;∀').

Masami''s secret was revealed. I hope that doesn't mean she will never wear the Matcha Green suit again, because it looks rather cool.

I wonder if Nozomi and Yukina will learn to fight, too, now that Masami and Shigyou are wounded or if the fights will just stop. Well, I don't even know if this is really supposed to be an anime "about" fights. The genre and the opening says the opposite, so I am thinking it isn't, but maybe it is? Idk.

At any rate, I am enjoying the show. It is colorful, it has its funny moments and the characters are entertaining. Seems like a good fit for me. It was nice seeing the four main characters together in the last minutes of the episode. Chiaya is soooo cute.

First 2 eps have been wacky and entertaining although I don't think it's really that confusing to be honest. Its been more fun watching this than some other shows this week.
As for KLK, its definitely not for everyone. But anyone who loves it has an otaku-bone in my book.

That was crazy... FUN!!!

I'm loving the animation. One of the best (if not the best) this season.

It was hilarious when the whole group got blown off the roller-coaster and the reason they survived was cos they got used to being blown away when Bests fight each other.

Ah, but besides all the fun, I do hope they get to properly explaining what's going on in future episodes... I was scratching my head a lot xp...
The most annoying thing about some anime is that they don't know when they've died...

This week's episode was pretty good, but I'm really excited for the next episode. Now that all four of the main characters have been introduced, I think that the real story is about to begin, and I feel like it's going to be one heck of an adventure. I can't wait.
