THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Quite a bunch of action this episode.

About time we see more of the stronger Nobles fighting in the show. As for the episode, I thought it was alright especially considering that the buildup let to this and OST was on par of what I had expected. Amusing at how calm Crowley is during their attacks.

Mika's 'Yu, I've found you!' smile is so precious. >.<

Haha, Crowley's such an OP troll.

Yu and Yoichi reminisce the rape of their squad at Shinjuku.
Some of the areas changed, but that's no problem. Shigure and Sayuri looked lie they were playing cards for a second there, lol.

Goshi illusions OP. How does he do that so perfectly, lol?
Dammit, Shinya. It's common sense to not alert the enemy that you're about to strike! >.<

Haha, gotta love that rest stop. They might as well start drinking tea.
Some bits were extended - for the better, too. It was kinda too spontaenous in the manga.

Crowley's such a lovable, OP bastard.

This episode was handled okay, in terms of adaptation, I doubt the last bit will have as much impact as in the manga due to WIT skipping Shinya and Guren's interactions in the previous eps.

They skipped a scene, but I'm going to guess, from the preview, that it'll be in the next ep.

Again, only 2 chapters and look at the difference. 4- 4.5/5 in terms of adaptation.

Ed card:
NSFW-ish-kinda


Guren's harem best harem.



GureShin is kill. Not that I ship it.

Saving as much as people getting caught as possible because their main mission is to survive until the main team from Shinjuku comes.

SuzuKen's character is still too strong that Nakamura-san's character is in pinch. Main guy caught up, but hoping he is ok at that last moment.

I thought the director for this episode did quite a terrible job. It's like, when it's finally Guren's turn to do something cool, the director, the animators, whatever - they all go YOLO or something and we get the shittiest episodes. I thought even the music wasn't so fitting. Maybe it's because the screen - the animation - had like no energy, no fluidity, no... I don't even know.

I thought things were really getting better (like esp with Lululu Lalala episode) with the battle animation but THIS EPISODE ER MY GOD MY EYES. SEASON 1 HELLO

OTOH closeup of Shinya so fabulous thank you thank you I just wanted fabulous Shinya and some gureshin yes

Crowley really is just too op for anyone come close to being able to fight him properly.

Seeing him hold that bird was hilarious!

OST was really nice in this episode.

Hmm....that rescuing task....was way a bit too easy, I thought there would be traps or ambushes.

Shinya (the sniper guy) was talking too much, he could have landed a clean shot if he just shut up and shoot Crowley immediately instead.

Guren looked weaker it seems, he didn't take his meth after all.

I don't know why but this episode felt boring even though a lot of action. No Shounen ai in this episode. My prediction is that Mika will save Yuu because power of bromance.

Crowley is disturbingly happy. I mean I love Kenichi Suzumura characters a lot, but the fact this guy is so OP and can be so cheerful all the time is downright scary.

It is really ridiculous how strong this guy is.

Another ok episode, we got to see some action between OP Crowley and Guren and co. I almost forgot how Crowley is just on a different level of OP though, it's practically unfair. He doesn't even need Horn and Chess since he doesn't break a sweat.

Well let's see how they counter Crowley after this one-sided beatdown.

EDIT: Almost forgot to mention, Shinya probably would have had a better chance of getting Crowley with his surprise attack if he didn't waste time talking to him first. Forget your "checkmate" crap, just shoot him. Crowley probably still would have dodged, but he most likely wouldn't have had enough time to throw Guren at Shinya. Ah, anime logic.

I guess in exchange for more action we get a noticeable drop in animation quality...
Quite a few shots in which the characters' faces were distorted.
They used ~1min of footage from the last episode to fill the start too.

My understanding is that they cannot take more than one pill within a certain period of time or it will wreck hell on their body. They explained this in the 1st cour. They took the pills when they started the mission of fighting the nobles, so I don't think they can just take it again.

As for the demons, I'm not really clear (maybe a manga reader can confirm) but iirc it's a risk to manifest their demons when the vampires are right in front of them as their physical bodies will become weak.

Which makes all the less sense considering they are fighting far superior vampires, specifically targeting nobles. There is literally no legitimate reason to not go all out right away. All its doing is being a massive plot hole.

Good fighting, but it's really creating a massive plot hole by having the characters forget they can summon demons and stuff to help them fight.

Also, what a pointless cliffhanger. Yu won't die cos he has the protagonist's plot armour protecting him.

Good action scene. Damn cliffhanger.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

What an awful episode, almost everything felt so wrong, the pace, the vampires now seem to be retarded and wtf was the 15 min introduction?

1/5 for me, worst episode of the anime so far.

Same here.
"Doubting everything that you take on... That is very important. Open your own eyes, clear out your ears, and look and listen to the world... And think using your own brain. After you've doubted everything, there is a possibility of something real to believe in. To believe in something, doubt everything."

Guys, I have no idea what you're on about

Goshi - Used an illusion(with HELP from his DEMON) to help fight off the fodder vamps
Guren - Called out Mahiru-no-Yo, his DEMON to stop him from destroying bones as he hit places.
Shinya - Manifests his demon all the time. Remember those blue tigers? Yeah.
Yoichi - Used Gekkoin at the start/mid point of the ep

Ofc, those are only a few. Why? Because
1) Manifestation leaves the body helpless
2) Possession makes the user susceptible to becoming fully taken over by the demon.

In a battle like this, against Crowley, an OP af vamp, doing either of those would put the user at risk.

This is addressing everyone who's complaining about 'not using the demon weapons'.

Crowley again guren cant beat him everyone about to die and Yuu going berserk??

Also if there are like 10-20 Nobles like crowley or close to his level i do not see how humans can win at all.

A small army of them could prolly take out tens of thousands humans.Curious how humans managed to survive like this so far....

Well curious for later episodes the fights seem good at least^^.

I literally laughed at the cliffhanger. It was so obvious yet so unexpected. Damn it.

The pacing is starting to feel weird. It's probably because at the beginning they rushed like hell and now for a while they've been slowing down drastically, but idk it just feels weird to me.

The moment I'm most waiting for is obviously not going to be in the next episode, preview told me that much.

Eh it was okay at best, the ep was too slow in the beginning, and the animation was very weird today, it was very on and off, especially on the battle scenes.

I demand more Mika! *slams fist on table* but I'm looking forward to the next few eps since it's getting closer to the recent manga chaps and that means... good things for the mikayuu fans.
