Well shit, Hibari is missing and Yagyuu is not happy. I expected this. Looking forward to some fighting next time but the latest episode was kinda meh.

I hope sensei can demonstrate some ass kicking skills next week.

I'm not surprised that Hibari has manipulated like that. Hibari really is useless. It's a wonder how she even became a shinobi in the first place.

It's about time that Suzune finally reveals herself to be Rin. We've already known this for a long time, but at least now it's official.

Hibari's treatment in the anime is one reason this isn't being well received by fans unlike the games, Shinovi Versus sold out in almost every brick and mortar Japanese game retailer the day before launch. Don't expect sales to be high for the anime though.

The anime version is useless, but the game version is another story, she's OP in Burst and she can just booty slam anything to death in Shinovi Versus.

I'm liking Hibari x Haruka more than Hibari x Yagyuu.
I'm a bad person.

Rin also just happened to be a megane, nice.

OMG people she wasn't being manipulated, she was used as a puppet, meaning she wasn't conscious when that happened.
And she didn't go missing, she went to get the scroll back on her own accord.
For now she is just acting as if she does want to actually join the serpent academy dark faction whatevers.

Anyways wow I didn't expect rin to be a megane either lol.

And you are right Hibari x Haruka also make a good pair.

Also I just noticed the ED with the pictures of the dark faction girls cooking, and it turns out bad lol.

Following the explanation of the dark faction girls about how their school operates, one starts thinking whether they are truly evil, we just have the normal biased fact that dark=evil.

the yuri potential between hibari and haruka was very erotic. I like that. I also love how silly and funny Yomi is with her constant talks about bean sprouts.

I am somewhat surprised after all this time that the plot or story (Inferring there was a plot in the first place) had some actual development.

I agree tho

Hibari x Haruka = Win.

Is it just me who finds that there are way too many out-of-sync lip movements in this episode?
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Awesome, definitely best episode so far. I personally hope Hibari stays with the Serpent Academy and abandons her plan to retrieve that scroll. Also, dat ED song. I'm so glad they brought it back. 10/10

The more I watch the dark faction girls interact, the more fond I am of them. Those girls are way more interesting than Asuka and her group. By the way, did you realize how Hibari and Haruka's backgrounds weren't shown yet? I expect those to be the 'best' ones so far (read: most touching ones).

I like this episode, Hibari trying to save the day by joining dark forces and pretending she joined them. Those girls just needed someone who accepts them in their miserable lives though. And it seems Rin is after something else then her master. I sense big fight next time.

I find it funny when anime tries to hide who done it by covering the upper part of a characters face. We know who it is dammit. So the ninja with bright pink hair is perfect for stealth? also we got some more bad touch.Maybe you shouldint be overprotective dummy. All you do is make her look more useless.I guess that mid cut pic is the girls fantasies. wait wait wait...did she lick and kiss her before that cut? nice to see how they girls got to the evil school. Nice little episode again I wish we had more action. Also I call bs on wearing glasses under that mask.

I have mixed feelings on this episode, but I wanna' say I felt it was better than questionable.

I find it a bit odd that Rin just shows up to give Kiriya-sensei a map to the academy. I hope it's explained why later and not for a petty reason. It would make more sense if Hibari had left behind a copy of the map. Let's face it, the world of Senran Kagura takes place in modern times. I'm sure copy machines exist. Thus, making Yagyuu's reasoning for losing her cool and heading out much more logical and not emotionally naive. Still, if Hibari had done that she would have risked her cover being blown so I'm okay with the flow of events that occured. Yagyuu running off kinda seemed more for the purpose of showing Asuka's improved potential than anything. She could've easily stayed behind and told the group exactly what she said on the rooftops of when she attempted to go to wherever Hibari was. "I didn't suspect her." etcetc

Anyways, some good dialogue w/ the dark faction ninja girls and albeit a really brief but simple + nice backstory for each of the other girls. I'm a little surprised that even on the BD that Haruka and Hibari during the scene where Hibari was tied up was cut short.

Best part of this episode was Haruka making the scroll disappear into her breasts. Reminds me of Chinatsu's hair from Yuru Yuri. STRAIGHT UP GONE.

Haruka likes Hibari more than I thought.
Well, it was obvious that Suzune was Rin, but I thought that she had something in her face, because she used that samurai armor.

Yomi really has bean sprouts where a brain should be.

Funny thing is that I just played as Hibari in Estival Versus and she kicks ass. When she's not butt slamming the enemies, that is.

Man, some villains are so pissing me off in this series.. ;p Which I guess is alright - they are villains, after all.. But they still piss me off.. ;p
Well.. Hibari needs character development.. But will it be nice one, or she'll get into trouble.. I mean.. At least she decided to go return scroll on her own.. Usually she is very afraid of everything.. But here she's brave.. So it's nice in itself from this point.. It can completely break her, though, if it'll end badly.. Especially if Yagyuu would die or something as the result..
Hm.. Important development for Yagyuu as well.. She makes some mistakes as well, she needs to learn on them.. Also maybe she understood that trusting your team more is good as well.. As well as she's very doubtful about things related to Hibari recently, but blaming mainly her own self.. Hard to say, how much Yagyuu will develop from this.. But situation is hard for her..
Hm.. So Haruka's motivation was to get Hibari all along?.. Interesting..
Snake academy girls are acting too casually, it seems.. They weren't like this before, really.. Are they enjoying playing with their prey or something?.. Is that, what's going on?..
Though, I think Haruka don't really want to break Hibari, but rather make Hibari her lover, no?.. Or something like that?.. So she wouldn't really allow to just destroy Hibari for others, it feels..

Hm.. I'm actually quite interested.. I mean.. Hibari needed character development.. And maybe she becomes a better person, more thoughtful and brave.. And what makes her like this?.. Maybe dark academy?.. It actually would be an interesting character development, if Hibari would find her place there.. Or even if she won't, she can find things better about herself there, still it being thanks to dark academy again.. That's quite interesting.. Maybe Hibari needed some darkness..

Great episode, one of the best so far.. ;P Story got very interesting, as well as Hibari and Yagyuu getting character development, as well as we're getting to know more about Snake academy's girls.. Just great episode, really.. ;p

Hibari fell into the dark side. Well, at least for a moment. It was about time for her to get some character development.

Nice Hibari x Haruka moments. They make a great yuri couple, even better than Hibari x Yagyuu.

Suzune a.k.a Rin made her move. The plot thickens.
