THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Not sure why but I found the action of this episode to be kinda funny (in a rather awkward way) especially in regards with the kids' opponents. Epizo is hard to take seriously at all.



As usual, the antagonists are still pretty damn a powerhouse. Shizuru got a decent amount of screen time though so I'm glad to see that as I consider her to be a rather underrated character up to this point of the show.

Is this a 13 or 26 episode series? Can't see them beating 3 teams in 5 episodes plus the sister thing.

Now I'm thinking the "pounding" his heart from the opening is what's gonna hapen....

What is going on? So much more stuff is happening and im excited. But it feels like there is no way they can conclude it in 12 episodes. Since it is anime original then there will likely be a second season later on. I do have to ask, when was it confirmed that it would be 12 episodes long? It really does seem like it will be longer
Grimgar season 2 please!!!!

So basically this turned into a G Gundam parody whereby every country has a representative "Gundam", only in this world, every Gundam's "driver"(heart) has died except for Reoko and Kazuki's...

And now even Kazuki's is dead too.

This show just went to the dumps after 7 decent episodes....
How the heck are they going to finish it all up in 4 episodes?

Well the show certainly did something I didn't expect it to do, that was a serious shift in tone and (story) direction. Not sure if I like the "crazy anime humor" done in CGI yet, but I gotta say they've got guts attempting it. Epizo was way over the top though

Feels like there's no way this is going to finish in 4 episodes.

Considering there's three teams now with a dead heart, I guess there's a big chance that all three of them will be revived at some point, and there's the plot point of Entei's "secret" mentioned in the beginning. Aaaaaand there's Azuma's sister....

Shout out to Epizo worst character of the season, I wanted to punch his face in. It's a bit late in the day to introducing a whole new set of poorly written charters.

The comedy in this episode was just an epic fail.

Epizo is funny. Was time for this serie for takes a Como point. I think that includes teams for another country can be a good plot's point.

This episode was kind of a break from the seriousness that the series has displayed so far. It went rather into a random hilarity mode then escalated really quick with Buranki teams from different countries (not gonna mention how they culminated some popular American stereotypes into one of the new teams for now) so it was difficult to keep track for a second but overall rather enjoyable. However, the mysterious girl from the end of last week's episode has me wondering if they are finally gonna bring back Azuma's sister.
Don't believe the hype.

I hope I'm not the only one that noticed, that when Epizo was talking with the team, he made superhero poses.
Amazing - something that could be considered "Spider-man" pose
Incredible - "Incredible Hulk" cover style pose
Fantastic - Four. Nuff said.

The comedy break was refreshing, the american "hero" was great and irritating aat the same time with his voice, speech, references and repetitiveness and each new character and weapon had a distinct desin.
But what I liked the most was the informations starting another road to explore.

more Bubuki users! And from different countries too. Epizo is just a stupid character so far (I mean that as in he acts really odd and is funny to watch). All these new characters seem really cool and mostly unique from the rest of our current cast.

I feel like this plot kinda goes everywhere and changes a lot and quickly... Maybe it's just me.
How are they even gonna finish this in 12 episodes?

I want the next episode and I want to see what happend to Oubu's heart!

What the f*** was this episode? The episode 7 was the best one and things seemed to be going to be even more interesting, but then they introduced all of this totally out place non-sense comedy. The fat American guy was so annoying that i would've dropped the anime without thinking twice if they had introduced him in the first episodes.

I had such a hard time to finish this episode, i can't believe it's the same anime that i have watched last week. I hope they drop the comedy or i'll have to drop the anime.

introducing 2 whole new set of characters 2/3 of the way into the show? no. you cant do that.
the sudden change in animation was also terrible. and its not just minor stuff, the entire style of the show is different. and every minute I watch it gets worse and worse. its like they suddenly threw in a new director and animator for this episode.
Its episode 8. wheres the plot??? This is quickly turning into a train wreck.

Ughhh the past 4 episodes were really good, then this garbage happened. It felt like I was watching Shit la Shit all over again, my bad I meant Kill la Kill. There was just too much comedy and silliness for me to handle it was actually making me sick.

Tsuwabuki marking the two Russians was awesome, and when the Russians broke into the heart cell was cool too.

Why are they starting to make you feel Sorry for Reoko now too. Like I actually feel bad for her and I'm starting to like her.

WHO IS EVEN THE VILLAIN IN THIS ANIME ANYWAY?

Now you bring the Russians and Americans into it and the MC, who even though I like, becomes more useless then he already was.

Really good episode. I like the intro of new teams but I don't "like" them. They can't really fight, Azuma and co, so now what will they do? This will probably need a second season to finish everything.

Yeah this episode was pure shit. I was excited after the last episode thinking his sister was going to appear and do some good stuff, but then they decided to use the script the writer used as a toilet paper to make this episode.

I fear after this episode things are going to go downhill. I hope i'm wrong.

The only discordant note of this episode, is the total absence of explanations that leave the viewer grope in the dark without the possibility to understand the true extent of what is happening. Narrative a little too fast, so far with little success, now of all, a happy medium would be the right choice. Great graphics, and great animations, but shit narrative. ^^"
