Well, the story with his grandfather was a bit too fishy....but I guess his reaction is to be excepted! He was way too young to remember any of his parents but it was really nice that he talked it over with Goto, they sure are really close!!! ^^

Mari was creepy, I'm waiting for the moment she snaps. It's drawing near, I'm sure of it!!! Eeeeks.....

That ending couldn't have been any oddER!!!
A gorilla appears and on top of that with a guillotine....really, just what exactly happened in this episode?!??! King Torture...somehow I can't see this mix in with the rest of the plot, or at least not in this particular way....

Hm. Let's see what the next chapter will bring! ;D

lmao god i had all sorts of things pictured for this episode but really we just have a case of.... 1-6 reasonable realistic sort of anime, hint of slice of life, humour with an everyday human being trying to do good and help people.....

last five minutes of episode 7 we have a gorilla with a guillotine for a stomach and a secret evil organisation that has just revealed themselves even though we had no inkling or clue ANYTHING like this existed or was EVER going to exist.......

mmmmmmmm...... kay

pulled that out their ass really didn't they? funny as hell and totally mind-boggling to watch, my mouth was down to my knees, but this show may have just lost its unique edge, everything i liked it for is about to be turned on its head and made into and normal walking supernatural/action cliché ;(

WRONG! You spend THE ENTIRE first book wondering if there are supernatural elements or not. Martin keeps it vague as long as he possibly can.
Therefore if Martin showed supernatural stuff you won't complain, 'cause it's been foreshadowed before. In Samurai Flamenco nothing of that sort has been mentioned before. The series remained a SoL series for 6 episodes now without any hints of it becoming a supernatural series, so it turning 180 degrees is awful writing. Why? 'cause it makes no sense. How did suddenly supernatural stuff appeared in the realistic world Samurai Flamenco built?


Well calling it realistic is a little bit of a stretch. We have girl idols running around in a pink jeep twisting balls and a guy in red pajamas actually decreasing crime in a big city.
Realistically they will all be dead or locked in a mental institution after being arrested. Also realistically they wouldn't even find criminal to fight against cause it's kind of impossible to be exactly there when a crime hypes let alone be there all the time.

The.. what?
Is this really where this show is going now?

I DON'T KNOW IF I LIKE IT?
I feel like they could have went in a similar direction that was more realistic like just turning people into super-strength apes or something. But apparently people have said that the manga hinted at supernatural aspects early on, so I guess I will have to give it the benefit of the doubt...

Hmm oO what's up with that ending, it just went from being normal to ultra whacky and unrealistic... which is sad as I was starting to like the concept of a casual human trying to be a superhero... but this is just weird...

Okay, I'm extremely shocked, omfg.
What do you do to my innocent Hero anime???
Turned so fucking Dark so fast, I can't take it.
Hope they find a explanation and keep the realism.
If not, I'm going to cry. I liked it before so much.;A;

Let me tell you all why you weren't expecting the last five minutes of this episode. It's just bad story telling. SF spent 6 episodes authenticating realism; normal people trying to become super heroes, it being awkward, real, and challenging. Then, I guess the writers decided to dispose of it because it was "boring" or some other stupid reason. Insert new plot to create excitement, right?! Let's make this show--that's actually doing new things (an anime character with a real job and a half gay relationship with another guy who also has a paying job)--and make it exactly like the superhero shows that the show references!! Lol WUT?? We get cuts and bruises, some life threatening situations, a bit of blood in the first 6, exactly what you'd expect, but NOW we're lobbing HEADS OFF and throwing people of out four story buildings?? Are you serious? Of course everyone is surprised, this show broke all the rules it was writing from the beginning.

I thought this could be a cool show that would do some original things, but I guess not. Never lost respect for something so quick before. Dropped.

Just watched this episode.
I don't know why people are mad, clearly they have been building up to this.
Fucking awesome if you ask me.
I bet that kid swanda or w/e from the beginning is involved somehow.

My main wonders now are who the F is Gotos GF and what Gotos deal is anyways.
Nice thing someone noticed Robber means Goto in Japanese.
Not really sure if that means anything but it could.

This must be that episode that they've been hinting at nonspecifically in all the times I've seen SamFlam get recommended. Either that or there's something else later on, but right now this seems like an interesting turn of events.

Whoa whoa whoa WTF?!?!

This just went from parody comedy to full seinen/shounen craziness in a flash.

Police heads being chopped off by a gorilla with a guillotine in its stomach?! JUST WTF?!

Um.....what the hell happened?!

This seemed like a story about a guy who wants to become a hero in a realistic setting but now it's going full on comic book style out of nowhere.

I certainly wasn't expecting a random guillotine gorilla who suicide bombs.

Honestly, I thought this episode was awesome. He pretty much had conquered street-level thugs, so why not up the ante with some crazy stuff in the vein of what kamen rider enemies are often like...but turned up to 11? It was such a cool twist, and the more supernatural-esque episodes were great. This episode isn't the problem, in my opinion.

Then again, the abrupt change in this episode should have been a sign of things to come

I knew from reviews that this show took a turn, but I didn't expect it would get so dark and actually show police officers get decapitated. I'm going to miss the lighthearted vibe, but I am also interested to see where the plot will go.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

This episode had a twist that was way too wild for me with that whole guillotine gorilla thing. I feel like it almost killed the vibe the show created where the main character was a delusional wannabe hero.

Dafuq? I thought this was going to be a "muh deconstruction" kind of show the entire time, with the whole "what if super heroes existed in real life" kind of scenario. Not with actual supervillains with real superpowers. So how are they going to make Stationery-Man fight Jekyll and Hyde mutant gorillas and floaty ghost supervillains?

Good episode. Goes into who one is, a hero? Or some hentai (not sex kind). But evil will never be regardless. Also batman upbringing.

This switch up was something, goes into real hero terrain with actual bad guys. Wonder what that will give.
