| Wow, they are skimming everything. :/ I can't believe they pulled off some power-rangers thing... Why didn't they just do that from the start and establish that setting?? >___< Actually, even worse than power rangers b/c they are rushing this like mad. Though about the only thing that really irks me is the animation drop. On another note, King Torture is really keen on taking down Flamenco. Also, why would Goto's GF mention Masayoshi now? Weird timing. What a troll series. |
| If only Delta Horse manage to kill one of the flamenco girls .... 神作！ |

| LOL at people complaing and raging Me? I'll continue watching this because this change of events interests me. |

Need to stop cramming it down peoples throats at every opportunity and how it's the best thing ever, it's getting pretty bloody obnoxious. Leave that show to it's own thread and stop jerking off about it in other series threads now people. That said this show really could have stood to have some foreshadowing for this turn of events if it wanted to go this route. Also a stronger followup episode could have helped instead of the time skip and rather dull chain of events the only of which really felt relevant for future developments being Masayoshi suddenly turning into a bit of a fame whore at the end. Even still my enthusiasm for this show has really dropped off. |
| I don't dislike where the show is going, but the transition was awful. |

| This was pretty boring and I skimped through it. I'm not dropping it yet because it doesn't makes sense for whoever directed this to make it a horrible series on purpose. There must me some overarching purpose for this corny action and story, they can't possibly waste the next 14 episodes on this sort of parody or w/e. I bet its all connected to Goto's mysterious girlfriend. Otherwise, I'm not interested in Power rangers shit. |
 |
| Btw, I've always liked Sentai and such, so honestly speaking this is not a problem at all for me. It's true though that I expected more from this show but like I said in the previous thread, I will wait more episodes to give a proper judgment. Oh right, Hazama's new suit was fucking badass. Ramkec said: Plot twist, Gotou's girlfriend is King Torture. 10/10 would like to see that. |
 |
| I don't know what I'm watching anymore. Though at first it seemed to be a parody of Power Ranger like show, with the laugh-worthy weaponry and bizarre odd-monster choice. At a certain point it felt like it's trying too hard to look dumb on purpose. I mean horse with gossip inducing potion, snake causing suffering by buying all the fruits(has to be a snake and an apple, always). I think there is more than what meets the eyes here. Though this maybe wishful thinking, I'm gonna see where this goes hoping that there is at least a good explanation for King Torture else watching this show is going to be the real torture. But that creepy budget though. |
| The monsters self-destruct too easily. I think I can handle 2 more episodes to see how it will turn out. |
Sourire said: I don't dislike where the show is going, but the transition was awful. This. I actually liked the appearance of a "real" evil villain, but this episode was extremely rushed, and the animation was terrible... |
    |
| What's with the animation? This all seems a little too cheesy, I'm sure there's something to this. They sure tensed last week's, but seems such a generic sentai show again. Not that I mind, I love sentai shows, but I don't think they'd start doing this all of a sudden. This all seemed like an act. First it was all Flamenco girl and Samumenco finally breaking up due to their senses of justice but all of a sudden they're like marshmallow and stick again? It could've done better. |
Alone on a Friday night? Remember that DIO did nothing wrong! |
Sourire said: I don't dislike where the show is going, but the transition was awful. Same. I think the word "gradual" isn't part of the plan. It's like a train that suddenly switched to another line. It's still early into the season so I won't say derailed yet. |

| I really don't know where this show is heading, but I'll go along for the ride. Pretty disappointed they weren't tripping out on coke though. |
| I'm gonna start turning off my brain for the rest of the show I guess..... |

pizza_012 said: Oh My. People. Don't give up just yet. THIS IS noitaminA. Am pretty sure they're planning to give us a shitstorm of surprise. Take Note: noitaminA never disappoints. It may still be the best for the season so hold on folks. This is not the end for Samumenco, at the very least, so far. Let's just hope for a kickin' second half just like what S;G did. DON'T DROP THIS YET. While this is valid, and I agree and repeat the same opinion, noitaminA did give us Robotics;Notes. And Gallilei Donna is pretty weak. But they're more smash hit than weak miss, so I still have faith. |
| King Torture is the murderer of Hazama's parents. Sort of. Hazama can't come to terms with the truth of his parents death. He creates a fantasy world where an evil organization, headed by the murderer, shows up and causes trouble. He easily defeats the organization and confronts and kills King Torture. He realizes that revenge is pointless, and leaves the fantasy world. Does no one think it's weird that everything is going great? He's one of the most popular models AND the world's greatest hero. That just screams "fantasy world". |

eminagnam said: They really went for supernatural fantasy? Or was it all play in play or Hazama's hallucination? Either way it's disappointing. I'm willing to give it more time to consider it disappointing. The thing is, the original setting didn't have that sort of thing and had a more realistic outlook. It switching to a more fictional setting half through way is lame, yes. It should stick to one from the beginning. I'm still thinking it's just exaggerated and all some sort of delusion. |
| Kinda hate myself for getting used to this so quickly, lol. During that fight at the beginning, I thought "heh, this is obviously just filming...". Personally I'm actually starting to enjoy this show now. Even if it is kinda like Power (Sentai) Rangers, it's a little interesting to see a slightly more mature version of that kind of show. Also, I didn't care too much before, but now I'm seriously curious who Goto's girlfriend is. I originally thought it might be Sumui Ishihara, and now I am really leaning toward her, since in that text at the end it sounded like she knows him personally. I only thought it didn't seem likely due to Goto's lack of response to Masayoshi talking about her. Either way... I have to say I'm really hoping for Masayoshi x Ishihara right now. Edit: It really irks me that he's using a little razor blade though, why not get an actual sword... or at least not a segmented razor blade that's designed to break. Also, Masayoshi basically just stopped a car with his brute strength. :/ Sums up the rest of my thoughts for the moment. |

| Just what the hell happened there... It was way better before oO And the monsters are soooo lame and weak --" |
| The show is setting things up! The show is trying to get this phase out of the way, by the looks of this episode: the overall nature of the monsters was established (along with the fact that they appear once a week, which is getting a bit meta) and we were also shown (albeit a bit briefly) how the government stands on the whole issue. And finally, we were hinted that something about Masayoshi is off. I mean, yes, this episode wasn't too good. But how many here is actually assuming that things remain the way they were in this episode, considering how the show has progressed in every episode so far? *sigh* Honestly, even though I still like it, I would have preferred the slice-of-life hero show. At least things would have been simpler on the viewer's end... |
 |
| The thing is, even if it's all fantasy of Hazama, it's already past the line where they could go and say "Oh, it's all fake". This feels like endless eight now, where you watch the episode and wonder if it's the same show. You can say it's trying to be different. Endless eight was trying that too and look what happened. Being different doesn't make it good. The transition to this abomination was horrible and unexpectable, there's nothing more to it. Gonna skip through the next episodes to see when will they end this nonsense, IF they do that, but I'm not sure if I could watch it the same way as before. |
| I wasn't sure if it was a parody or just completely retarded until that scene where the villains were buying fruits, then I realized it's indeed a parody, let's just laugh at it. |
 |
| The stappler-nunchaku never ceases to amuse me... it's so funny! |
 |
| This anime is always surprising me I hope they won't use those monsters and supernatural stuff for too long. I think they are just making something like a parody, and we'll have an amazing plot twist At least we know that Goto's girlfriend actually exist (or he programmed to receive messages, although that would be creepy) |
| O importante não é o que fazemos de nós, mas o que nós fazemos daquilo que fazem de nós |
| I was half-convinced they were doing some sort of promotional video but damn, if they really change into some sort of tokusatsu show then it's really, really disappointing. Flamenco's charm is how a regular guy struggles with his chuunibyou-like obsession while trying to accept that reality is much harsher. The direction of this show was realistic to begin with, what's with the sudden fantasy turn?? Another thing is how they went from chopping someone's head last episode to "no casualty" (not even a single drip of blood). It's almost like they're doing this half-heartedly. It also doesn't make sense that 4 vigilantes with make-shift weapons can destroy monsters that trained police with real weapon couldn't. If I have to guess the rating must have been really, really low for the first 7 episodes. |

I'm pretty sure the writers know what they are doing. There's still 14 more episodes to go, not 4. Anything can happen at this point. Right, because MAL never hypes shitty shows. Please, try harder. When did I ever say that? The only one trying hard here is you, buddy. |
| This anime really surprised me with this sudden change, but I think something more amazing is going to happen at the end. This will be the Troll of the year |
| I dislike the direction this anime is headed in, but since I did enjoy the episodes before the twist I'll keep watching it with hopes that it'll somehow improve. |
| This show isn't dumb enough to make me laugh as a parody after the twist (yet?). Snake buying all the apples was a good start I guess. Also let me guess Goto's girlfriend is going to be King Torture or something stupid to top it off Should have stayed Japanese Kickass |
  |
| King torture, just playing with dolls lol, these suicide attempts look so fake... this is ridiculous if they continue the show like this.. Im only watching to see who the gf of goto is. |

JizzyHitler said: shanimebib said: No, no matter how bad this got its not blazblue alter memoryThis anime suddenly became the worst ongoing show? And there is Coppelion too, so no, this isn't the worst ongoing show. I wonder if this was planned from the very begging of the low expected sales was the reason for the big change. Anyway, I hope this is just a setting for something bigger (come'n weren't half done yet, there's so much room to improve still!). |
| I am worried they just ruined great anime......But i still hope it's only some filming or a dream or whatever going on........ |
Ammar01 said: you were just looking too far into poor animationI was so sure they were just recording while watching the last episode's last few minutes.

The Gorilla supposedly hit him but his hand actually flew past him. Then flamenco went flying away... Like they do for filming those scenes in the movies. I was so convinced. |

| So are you guys going to stop watching or will this just be a complainothon every week? Because if so I could always discuss this show elsewhere with people who aren't enemies of fun. |
 |
| I think they pulled off the twist in episode 7 quite well, but this episode was boring as hell... If you're going to complain, complain about the execution, because the concept itself isn't all that bad. |

If you're going to complain, complain about the execution, because the concept itself isn't all that bad. If anything people are getting this backwards, this ep wasnt even that bad given how horrible episode 7 was, taking the comedy route instead of taking this travesty of writing seriously was the right step, the entire concept lost all that was original about it (since now its basically sunred) but this weakened the blow Mod Edit: Personal argument removed. |

Don't get your panties in a bunch because I'm a little miffed that you turn these things into a bitching pulpit. Do you even enjoy anime beyond the 3 shows people like you keep going back to? Yes, we get it, Monster is a great show. We all know that. Sorry nothing can ever live up to your impossible standards but is this what you consider fun? Writing 10,000 words on how your personal opinion = subjective observation? We got it the first time. You didn't like what they did. Now drop the show and go watch something you do enjoy. |

I honest to god have no clue what the fuck your even going on about, i never said a single thing about monster and i think the fact that your making a comparison between a psychological thriller and a comedy homage to super sentai is downright insane as they couldnt be farther from eachother. What im saying is your being a jackass, your the one complaining about others, gloating that you arent bothered by it when you clearly are, and then gloating even more that you can easily go away yet wont. This has nothing to do with the show, this has all to do with YOU, youre making desperate calls for attention which im sadly giving you. Do as you gloated and go away, otherwise quit lying and admit that your bothered that you have an unpopular opinion on the direction this show has taken |

Everyone secretly agrees with you but just aren't honest enough with themselves to admit it. Self important much? Don't worry. I have no desire to engage your self-aggrandizing any further. Resume bitching. I'll go back to actually enjoying anime. |
|
| Everything about this episode feels like a set-up by the writers. Mari and Menco's change of attitude, the incredibly easy monsters (4 or 5 on a simple episode? really?, it's like they don't want us to take King Torture seriously). I'm expecting even bigger surprises than Guillotine Gorilla. But I gotta admit, this episode was boring. |
 |
| "Don't worry. I have no desire to engage your self-aggrandizing any further." Guess you didnt stay true to your own word yet again all i have to say to youre comment is that quit putting words in my mouth, i never said any of the things you mentioned especially since im one of the minority that enjoyed this episode. My opinions arent the objective truth, i never claimed for them to be and i never will, in your delusional mind you can interpenetrate what i say however you like, especially since in your delusions you still think im even talking about the show at all when im really talking about your behavior in this thread completely standalone devoid of its ties to flamenco or not Mod Edit: Quote of deleted posts removed. |
