----------------------------------------
This series is going to the point where it's really bad, but still it's enjoyable. Anyway I liked the first episode more.

Wasn't nearly as good. The ep got dragged, the jokes were not funny and I hoped we'd learn something about Eve as a character (more than what type of juice she drinks). I need energy and badassness!

Ecchi + parody + epicness = I like this anime. For now. It makes me think of Black Cat with GAINAX animation (GAINAX bonce + explosions) and a setting close to that of Trigun or Avenger. A great brainless entertainment for the moment. I'll probably get tired of it in some weeks, unless there's a more serious side later on in the anime though.

Oh and we got to see Ami Kawashima with a miniskirt and a drill in this episode, isn't that quite awesome? ;)

Very very average. Worse than the first one.
The fight was pretty lame and boring.

The only funny thing was the stuff with the wrong drink in the beginning.

Oh well seems I am the only who love this series so far but I found the two episode pretty enjoyable xD

What I don't get is why many peoples are complaining about an average story in series like Needless (I have to admid that the story isn't innovative until now) but never complain about things like K-ON which doesn't had anything which one could consider as a story or something like that...

pretty nice episode imo, the magician was lame after discovering his secret and also i think it was very easy to defeat one of the top 4 u_uU
i keep geting the feeling that the ending is the opening for an other anime, one that would be very good n_n

I enjoyed this episode. I like anime like this.

Loving the drill outfit... It's got TTGL all over it, though. XD

I can't believe they've taken out one of the main four villains already, unless they do something TTGL-esque a la the four generals of the Spiral King, which I get the feeling they might...

*still loves the ED*

I agree with this episode being short of comedy and the epicness? from the first episode.
However, there are more eps to come so I am banking on this anime to get back to Blade.
Also someone here pointed out that the anime lacks scenes that allow us to look deeply into a character and the character's history, and I fully agree~ The producers could have delved into Eve a bit during the episode. I reckon close looks at the characters is what's gonna turn this anime from being below average to a realy good action anime.
Also, did you guys notice that one of the four super strong bad guys has been already killed as far as we are concerned in two episodes? Imagine how quickly the anime will end if Blade went around and started killing these guys off~

I can't believe that people actually dislike this show for its stupidity... since the show isn't very good to begin with bu the over the top aspect makes it enjoyable.

"I've been sullied... YA-MA-DA!!!" That actually got me... and the ending gets me every time... even when I'm expecting it, lol.

Like it has been said before this series is just mindless fun.

I would guess that he couldn't make himself invisible without effecting his own site. It's been theorized that the Invisible Woman from the Fantastic Four has a sort of psychic ability to see things when turns herself invisible. The eyes need to be able to see, and thus the eyeballs and optic nerves can't be turned invisible else she becomes blind.

I know, I know, Uten isn't the Invisible Woman, but it's just a theory.

Just to remind everyone about this series, it doesn't take itself seriously. Just remember how Eve made the statement early that Cruz is the main character of this anime. It's no different than Bobobo.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

so far this anime seems pretty lame, well to compensate for the main character being a crybaby, at least Eve's got decent clothing : D
and I do prefer Kamina-sama over this whatever-his-face guy who I can't recall the name of xD

although Simon is not a crybaby, Kamina-sama is awesome, and Yoko looks better xD

This anime reminds me of Code Geass, Akira, Trigun and with the feel of TTGGL. Well its official this anime is the same as Kakeru Shoujo I lot of nothing, but still watchable somehow.
A lot of characters with god complex and tone of fanservice where anime is going to T_T

hopefully the magician is death, he was so annoying.

the similarities with TTGL is just coincidence.
This show has no mechas and Giga Drill Breaker





Lol whats up with anime these days, everywhere are perverts

Unlike most of you people, I thought it was better. The last episode was boring as hell for me, but this episode kept me above the occupied-with-something-else-while-something-is-playing-in-front-of-me mark at least.

This anime makes no sense, and is random and stupid, but I like it. But I have to say, I enjoyed watching Blade fight better, it was more intense. Im sure they'll make up for his lack of screen time in future eps though.

And giving Eve a drill was a bad idea, as its just gonna increase the number of morons saying that Needless is a TTGL rip off, even though the Needless manga came out before TTGL.

Haha. Giga Drill. Even though TTGL came afterwards.

I really want this anime to get better. I really like it, but I feel like it's progressing a bit too fast. They've already gone through 2 of the Needless guys and they're not giving enough time to give the villains proper character development. They could give them a little more screen time instead of just the scenes where they fight and get killed off.

Well, would be nice to say these.

By the face off the "Magician" guy, he was prety nervous and not very capable off thinking on the time... I mean, can YOU think if some one is with a big f***ing drill pointed right at your face? Right when all your powers are "discovered"...

OOOO Almost forgot about it:

Have you REALLY watched the Anime or just starred at Eve's ass during the entire Epi? Or maybe you just FF to the ED to droll over?

Take a VERY closer look at the time when all the invisible stuff goes back to normal. If you can't see a window there, just give up on watching animes as a whole...
