Dusk252 said: Oh right, there was even fanservice in this episode. I hardly even noticed. ┐(￣ー￣)┌Mineko said: Yeah, same thing here. It's kinda wired but even though I usually absolutely hate fanservice, it didn't bother me at all in this episode.(I just realised I'm perfectly fine with fanservice as long as it doesn't involve any loli girls.) |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| I was wondering... what will happen if Kimimaro were to accept not to deal? he wouldnt win and wouldnt lose right? Sennoza will pay for half of the money Kimimaro will lose right... but will there any effect on the reality world? |
 |
| Let's totally judge quality of the episode by saying it was a cop out because it skipped two fire explosion sequences that totally haven't been done before. Where's my amazing action scene, damn it? I'm going back to my Dragon Ball Z and Katanagatari Episode 4 preview in a fit of rage. |
| I really liked that charity guy - he should have won. It was egoistic of Kimimaro not to think of the future of al thel children and just win for his own sake. |
 |
| Direction is outstandingly always in phase with the script and themes in this series. And I also like it that we didn't see how Kimimaro won his deal (without using his big attack too, he only used two mezzoflations), it will be even better when we actually enjoy the big showdown between him and Mikuni. Oh and once again all the characters were really fantastic, especially Msyu and Kimimaro - what a great main character he does -. I look forward to him finally finding his path and goal in the financial district.

A lot of people are watching this series for strange reasons honestly if they're pissed by the lack of action scenes. First of all, it's not an action series, then there's only 11 episodes to cram A LOT of developments and scenario (much more than most 26-episodes series) so obviously Nakamura won't waste it on stupid fighting sequences slowing down its pace (also, they probably don't have the budget for these so...), and finally, the action sequences are only there as a metaphor for economic war so we don't actually need to witness all of them, knowing the result is sufficient in the end, especially with the level of direction involved. |

 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I was crying for Mashu during that fight with Sennoza. Yoga really cares about his asset. |
 |
| This episode was so damned rushed. Still good nonetheless |
| . |
| This was a poorly executed episode. Everything was so rushed and crammed that I don't think there was ever a pause between any of the dialogue. One could argue that it's all to emulate the feeling of Yoga getting dragged around by everyone and having no control over the situation--but it's not. It's just crappy execution. And now that I see that C is only set for 11 episodes, I'm disappointed. More than likely, the rest of the series is going to be a rush job. |

| the hell? They skipped the whole frikkin' fight! This blows! >.< Other than that a great episode. Many developments and Kimimaro won another fight, even though we didn't see it. Some CGI scenes were very apparent and ugly this time around though. Especially the part where he gets into the van. Looking forward to next week! |

| I thought there was some good plot progression, a bit rushed, but overall good. I didn't mind fanserivice either... Overall, solid episode. |
  |
| Fuck yeah! The best fight scenes are the ones where the good guys get mutilated. The best life scenes are the ones where the good guys get muffled by breasts of a mature woman. This episode had both. |

| That was intense. I was messing with my rubik's cube at the time of the fight but then I was just so caught up in the fight when I looked up that I had to rewind so I could actually focus on it all. But dang, that was epic. I'm a little disappointed that we didn't get to see the end of the fight though. xD |
 |
| What happened to the climax of the fight scene? -.- |

Love how charity guy just stood there and waited until Yoga and Mashu finished their bonding moment. Yeah.. 2 seconds later somehow he just won even with a disabled asset. Ok.. |
 |
| That fight was lame. How the heck did Kimimaro actually win? It feels like the creators didn't show it because they had no idea either how could he win, but since it was written in the script, they somehow had to make him the winner. Meh. This show had an interesting premise, but it's already getting ruined. I can't expect anything good after this. And this show has the worst animation in the season btw. Seriously, what's up with the random crappy CGI characters? I can't believe how small of a budget does this show could have. |
 |
| Fanservice? Guro? Blood? Where?! |
| . |
| They cut away from what would have been a great fight but at the end this turned out to be interesting. The part about the asset embodying their owners future is interesting. |
Yumekichi11 said: thechensta said: No I mean Kimimaro got pawned in that he suffered major trauma to the major wounds of his asset. Yeah he did win after he most likely went berserk but why the heck they did not show it is most likely to save it for a flashback. He for sure went berserk. I should have been more precise over the pawning of Mashu/trauma result.Yumekichi11 said: He does have reason to be fighting for the kids and causes but man Kimimaro got pawned! Damn it! I'm pretty sure Kimimaro won that since: 1. Sennoza lost some of his staff 2. He said Kimimaro landed a second mezzoflation 3. He said that he had to depend on charity and campaigns now and that he wouldn't depend on Midas Money at that point 4. They used a dark tone when talking about the pictures after the battle I felt it was a really bad of how they didn't show the fight presented at the end of episode 5 and not to mention they didn't even show them winning this episode. Sure it wasn't really the most important thing, but after Mashu got brutally beaten down like that I'd like to see her get a bit of payback. Still not like there was any choice in the end of this one for Kimimaro. They were completely put with their backs against the wall. Against someone that powerful you can't really try to just balance it out perfectly. It was win or lose. Kimimaro really is being approached by a lot of people with different viewpoints. Tough to figure out which way he should look or what he should believe in. Think his thoughts at the end of this episode are all he can work with. Right now he just has to focus on not losing those who are precious to him. Maybe through all of this he'll find his path and how to survive without ruining the lives of others or having his own life ruined. Really do enjoy the moments with Kimimaro and Mashu though. Funny enough with him getting flustered over the date conversation :). Things are slowly developing with those two. |

| A lot of you guys keep saying how disappointing it was for the fight to have been as you say "copped out" but this anime was never really one to appeal with epic fights to begin with. I thought it was another interesting perspective with how one may choose to manipulate money or in this case try to better the futures of the less fortunate. I like how Yoga is constantly not decisive on all of these appearing ideals showing up in the district. It just goes to show that there really isn't much of an absolute correct way to handle it besides looking out for yourself. So if all you care about is how one some character rips his opponent apart with over exaggerated attacks repeatedly in a boringly long fight spanning over too many episodes, don't bother with this. This is a ethical battle more than anything which is completely fine since it is at least not common in that regard. |
| I really liked this episode up to the final fight with charity guy. 1) How the heck did Kimimaro win? Angel wiped the floor with them in two moves, then patiently waited till they were done with their epic moment, and victory!! How. HOW. How is that even possible? 2) I thought charity guy had a good reason for fighting. Better than Kimimaro at least. I thought it'd be more interesting if Kimimaro lost just once - and the charity guy looked like suitable winner imho. Man, if Kimimaro won for no other reason except being the protagonist... >___> |
XxshizxX said: Just liking kimimaroXmashu's moment. Yeah they're pretty good. I almost shed a tear.. almost. When his asset came out I was just like :O!! |
| This episode was by far my favorite yet even thought they cut the battle scene short =( |
| i wanna see the double mezzoflations..... poor mashu , seeing her being torn apart just made me sad |
 |
| Nice fighto. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| That was a nice episode and it shows what people really think of the Financial District. That charity guy said he landed two mezzoflations, but in a situation like that...how'd did he even survive one *Angel*? If Mashu took a while to heal he would basically be in a 1 v 2 situation. |
| You may read this quote , "However, by that point you'll have been torn to pieces." |
| I would prefer they would show me the final blow instead of just skip like that !! |

dragon132004 said: I agree strongly with that and would have loved to see Mashu get her revenge but like I mentioned earlier on, could be a flashback for Mashu to remember and power-up suddenly. They could do that.dragon132004 said: I think showing Jennifer fan service could be a plot to show she will seduce Kimimaro. I mean he does want a girl and Hanabi might not work out but Jennifer clearly saw his weakness by giving him a breast press so it could be possible she may use that to her advantage. Did anyone notice Jennifer's asset is addicted to fast food?Kimimaro really is being approached by a lot of people with different viewpoints. Tough to figure out which way he should look or what he should believe in. Think his thoughts at the end of this episode are all he can work with.

| Typos... Typos everywhere... In gg's release. |
| ... i dont care about cutting the fight. but really? kikimaro won? the other guy was so powerfull and his asset was greatly injured -.- |

| dangg i thought he was going to lose |
 |
| i dont like seeing mashu in pain, she gets all wounded everytime T.T |
 |
| I don't like that it isn't clear who has won this time, plus, no Masakaki this episode: me no gusta. Some Jennifer-fanservice I didn't mind, actually, I thought Yoga's reactions were cute. |
| So Kimimaro had his asset ripped to shreds, was shot with an uber particle beam by an Evangelion-like asset, had absolutely no chance of victory, and then.......the scene skips to the next day, and Sennoza is like: "Wow, I still don't know how you pulled off that double Mezzoflation, this was like the best fight of the series, there won't ever be fights this good in this show". It kinda reminded me of those "Missing reel" scenes lol. Anyway, the episode was good and I'm looking forward to the next one. |
| For everyone saying "this isn't a battle anime", so what? Katanagatari was not a battle anime, it had overtly long and fast dialog EXACTLY like this show. But do you know what it did? I still had some great fight scenes. It didn't rush everything and only show half of what should be shown. |
| So, nobody caught the "To-Love-Ru" reference ? |
| While it would've been great to see the rest of the battle, this was still a very solid episode. Difficult episode for Yoga. Being confronted with 3 seemingly well reasoned views on dealing in the Financial District and trying to figure out the least painful route. Then you've got Mashu being brutally attacked. And finally living with the repercussions of beating someone who had done so much to help so many people. Hard to view the Financial District as nothing but a losers' game. As close as he's gotten to his Asset, I'm starting to wonder whether Yoga's feelings for his human love interest is starting to wane. It's cute to see so much attention being lavished on our ramen-eating, horned fighting machine. |
 |
| What happened....? |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Poor Mysu. I feel sorry for her. I'm still surprised that he managed to beat him with the flation thing. |
 |
| I guess Yoga's attacks are really too overpowered. The first few times where they showed him using it, he totally annihilated his opponents. The trick then for Yoga, is to always go for directs instead of flations. But this battle was seriously going all wrong, so Yoga just let loose and pwned charity guy i guess.. We didn't really need to see pwning. I'm more interested to see how Yoga will find his own principles to follow. |
