Gomu Gomu No Complete-fucking-ripoff!

That, coupled with the fact its not even funny when it tries to be makes me glad theres only an episode left.

Seriously, if this episode were any earlier then I'd drop this shit.


I am proud to have Clannad as the only thing on my dropped list.

Anyone who still understands what's happening, please explain it to us all. It's all very confusing. If this show was 24 episodes, then this could have been much better.

Was it just me or was anyone else really put off every time that girl said "Guga"
I mean at times I was just going to burst out laughing from the randomness of it and other times I was just irritated by it.

So the plot here from what I can gather is
The blond guy is a time traveler who was in love with the reincarnation of Keena that was sacrificed to the previous demon lord. He traveled to the future to kidnap keena for some reason and kill the demon lord.
Brave made a deal with him because as Akuto lives it sucks the life out of his precious idol girlfriend so the only way to stop it is to kill Akuto . I guess the deal was out of convenience as they have the same goal.
There is gods in this world and they like screwing with people. Akuto is pissed by it and wants to destroy the gods and set up a new fairer system.
Green haired girl killed her father to take over the clan of ninjas but failed to realize that her father wasn't dead and was a terminator.
Principal fought the demon lord in the past with time travel boy.
Some god lives in Keena's body and takes her over sometimes.
And it seems that Akuto has not really chosen Keena and is saving her out of some promise or something.
That's about all I can piece together from that hail of plot they shot at us.

Figured that there was gonna be an explanation of how both Sai and Yamoto could both have given Kaena the hair piece. Didn't think it'd end up with Yamoto knowing the future Kaena, and going back in time to try and get together with past incarnations of her though.

And my guess is as to what Sai meant as to Kaena being able to end his story, is that she has the power to neutralize the demon power in him.

So anyway, this is pretty ridiculous.
...Can't say I mind it being ridiculous though : D (Ehem.. Except for Hattori's sword, that's just stupid.... And Eiko's cyborg-father.....)

I'm expecting even more ridiculous ending.

So far the Demon Lord hasn't really done anything. This entire f*ckup of a battle, all he did was go head on with that airship and he didn't even take it down, that was the puppet master.

Why would he want to neutralize the demon power in him? He's obviously not doing anything evil and he has yet to destroy anything of note. He has yet to really fight any battles at all. Might as well keep that power as self defense since you don't want people ganging up on you like Accelerator when he got beat by Touma (although Accelerator didn't have a super harem to protect him... well maybe eventually, but he had all his power anyway so the point is moot). Point is, there's no real benefit to giving up your demon lord power, is there? I mean I think ichiban's a pretty cool guy.

I still can't figure out Brave's motivation other than "he's the demon lord and I'm the hero, so gotta go with destiny." Siding with the clearly evil guy to fight your bro who has clearly done absolutely nothing seems to suggest mental incapacity.

are we all in agreement that Brave is a stupid douche?
This show is going down the drain fast. I can't imagine any possible ending in the next episode that will leave me satisfied with the series.
Disappointment....
*correction*
the only ending that i would be satisfied with is:
~to be continued in season 2~
Anything other than that will be garbage....Why oh why did such a decent anime have to turn into such a jumblef*ck of "plot".

It's more like a machine gun. So rushed, so random.


Yeah I just said shotty cuz of the scatter spray in how they just throw "oh guess what, did you know _______?" and "oh by the way he's actually _____" at you out of nowhere.

But I guess a machine gun on full spray and pray would be a better analogy as in rapid fire pacing and scattered spread.

This anime was pretty cool for a bit. Now its so crazy and not in a good way. I have to cringe at how lame some parts are. Potential down the drain :(

Still gonna get a 7 though cause at least its somewhat entertaining as a whole.

Wow......just......wow....
My brain is as scramble and in as much of an incoherent state after watching this. Structure was thrown aside for just some over-the-top, mindless absurdity thrown at us, one clusterfuck after another. Not that everything was bad but it this series could use an additional episode - no make that a bunch more episodes - since the pacing is so out of whack, it's ridiculous. Revelation here, change of character's motivation there, some guy popping up over there.
At this point, I honestly don't give a damn about the plot anymore, and I'll just sit back and be entertained by the finale. As long as Akuto picks Blue or ends up with a harem end, it's all good.

Maybe it would make some sense if they would have done three series out of this.
It's sad because this show started relatively promising.

as far as i understand regarding what akuto said WHY he wants to save keena:
there are two things:
1. he wants keena to be free and not to be just used
2. 2nd which was said in this episode being "to rid my own story". If you analyze the whole dialogue youll find out that the Gods were the one who is making it so that there will be a demon lord every 100 years. so getting rid of the gods means getting rid of the story of having other demon lords in the future or it could possibly revert akuto back to just being human (since demon lords are basically humans and the gods just did something with their mana)

I could not follow the story at all, and what was the LHC doing there? LOL

But still it was an OK episode. I'm not sure how they will end this, but I'm guessing that there might be a second season. If not it is going to be a crappy ending, with a lot of questions unanswered.

How the creators are going to tie everything together is the real surprise for me.

God, has this show become awful. The brilliant humor of the first half has completely vanished and instead we get average action, nonsensical plot twists and a completely messed up story. I'm really disappointed with the direction this show has followed in the last few episodes. Still, a second season would be neat, even if I have to drop it once the story starts kicking in.

What the fuck was that.

They need to stop the goddamn story and explain what the hell everybody is fighting for and why the heck alliances are constantly changing.
Like the scene where the CIMO8 puppet guy says to the council pres, "We've have the same goal now. Let's work together for a while." No f-ing idea what either of their goal's were in the first place. This show has become a mess and I only watch continue to watch it to see moar Keina.

- Nice said, Junko. Do something already, Sai.
- Yeah, gar Sai is back.
- Betrayal and power of love... how cliche....

Half assed episode. But well, it was predictable, that there'll be no time for comedy in last episodes.
