| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Nice episode =) A hint for an Okinawa Arc during that meeting?! (for future season, of course :P) XD What did she take out from his and her chest? Was there something like a Terra core? o.O Well, making a contract by changing limbs is less fascinating, I think. XD By the way, did they synchronized?! If yes, how did he know how to? o.O Odd... Disregard that, I just found it odd that he was calling out to her as if they would begin to synchronize. :S Shouldn't it be the other way?! Okay, he noticed the difference being "normal" and being as a "Keiyakusha" or contractor, but still... |

| Do you have an idea of when this episode will be subbed and released? |
| They pulled off a Busou Renkin right there, pretty cool. |
| Nice episode. Although I really do hope that the episodes don't follow the same pattern they are following now. |
 |
| Ah man I wished they left the arm contract in there instead of the hearts. It was pretty lolz to see |
 |
| the fight scene was good again but i feel something was lacking, not sure what exactly tho. |
| Didn't realy like it.... But I'll see where this goes! |
| "Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise" |
| what a great anime!! so cool! |
 |
| I quite liked this episode, although i haven't read the manga so don't have anything to compare it with. The fight scenes are pretty cool. Looking forward to the next episode. |
| I actually thoroughly enjoyed this episode as I did with the first. I haven't read the manga myself, so I'm not particularly sure how the story differs. But I'm currently enjoying the story so far, I have no problems with it. The fight scenes are go a treat as well! I hope they stick to this pace. |
| Still better than the manga, but the pace is a bit off in this episode. Excel looks very good (and she is voiced by Rika's seiyuu too :)) in the preview though. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Not as exciting as the first ep, but still pretty good. They showed the "little girl hit by truck and dragged for 15 meters to create a nice brush effect" scene 2 more times, just in case someone missed it last time. 5 bucks that we'll see it in some flashback at least one more time during the series. I haven't read the manga but i expected him to get dismembered. Oh and that sync scene was a bit ridiculous. "Kuro! Transform and roll out!" |
| The opening was quite awesome, I really liked it ! ♥ |
     |
| I haven't read the manga but they've got a lot of vocab... Can anyone give me any definitions of the main ones? For example... What's a "Mototsumitami" and how do you become one? Or will that be explained later? |
| Admittedly, I really only liked the fight scene in this ep, and I think that will probably remain the same through the entire series. All of the characters all act in a dull, unemotional fashion, and do everything in a sluggish uber-depressed manner. Now then, the fight scene was actually pretty good, and a bit better than the manga (more complicated than "Twa la la! I have an invisible whip!" "Schyncro!" "Agh, I have been defeated!") Now then, I still have two questions: 1) As you could tell from the opening scene, they aren't holding back on the bloodshed. Then why did they change the arm contract part from the manga? 2) It seems that somehow the anime has done its equivalent of volume 1 of the manga in two episodes. I read the manga when it comes out in the U.S, so I I'm not 100% sure how far it is in japan, but if I remember hearing right, it was at about 8 volumes. So how are they going to continue once they catch up? |
| That was better than the first episode. Nice battling. |

| Very nice episode. The contract scene and the fights were nice. |
| I'm rather enjoying this show. The fighting still looks pretty good, and we got a much better explanation of the doppeliner system. Very interested in seeing how the contract will effect them next week. |
| Mysterious girl shows up, saves guy's life, gives him magic powers. I was hoping this show wouldn't be so typical. Fight scene in this episode wasn't nearly as awesome as last episode either. What's with the magic whip crap. And last episode Kuro nearly gets beaten to death by a single thug, but this time she can easily handle 12 at once. I was really pleased to have a main heroine who wasn't ridiculously overpowered, but apparently that isn't the case. Dang... there is like... nothing at all this season, other than sequels. |

Too bad his arm is still there, but that was probably the most painful exchange of bodily fluids I could ever imagine. |
| This went on a little predictably, at least they did some explanation of this doppeleinr stuff, so I don't feel like they are just going to come up with some crap out of nowhere. The synchro stuff was weird, but I'm sure Kuro will say something about it in the next episode. This all feels a lot like a better executed Chaos;Head for me. We'll see where it goes. |
| I hate the main character. Bloody useless archetype D< |
 |
| well this is turning out well. a bit slow though. i hope it doesn't disappoint. wouldn't it suck to be born with the lowest amount of luck? the only salvation is that no matter how much luck you have, eventually you die. |
| Good Show so far... didn't match the description though... I never read the manga but the description told me he was going to lose his arm? I mentally prepared myself for that and what do you know? He didn't lose anything... Best show this season? |

And then Kuro removes his arm to prove to him what happened, that was funny... And looks like they are removing the other guys exceeds... she beat them up in 10 seconds... Apparently in the anime they change hearts instead of arms, and bad guys are weaker... |

Apparently in the anime they change hearts instead of arms, and bad guys are weaker... For the cutting arm change I guess they needed to censore it a bit because of the airing hour. In a manga you can put whatever you want if it's rated by the good age group, on the TV you cannot put everything you want at any hour because there's children watcher. Anyway I don't mind and I find way logic a change of heart than a change of arm. Maybe in the Dvd the scene will be redraw according to the manga. But hey all my post is speculation don't grant it as if I told you a fact. |

| To maxime, i guess you have a point there, i dont know the airing hour, but there were fine with showing all that blood anyway... cut limbs are not possible? As for KKDW, that Conservation of Ninjitsu is funny. Everyone already knows it, but to see it somewhere written and so serious looking is funny :P In the manga, only one guy besides the Wip-Boss guy was using Exceed as well, so it was just one extra, not a gang! |

From my point of view viewing blood is way less shocking than showing limb getting cutted. Well I feel that Kuro got serious when she heard they were from the shishigami clan, which she wasn't really in the first one. (Yeah he destroyed her ramen, but it's not the same kind of ''seriousness'' here) It's true that the difference was too big, but if she was in the state she was in episode 2 I guess she could have handle episode 1 bad guys quite like the others moron who got one shotted in episode 2 |

I don't know how they synced at all! O_O Kuro is so kawaii! >w< I wonder how the dog and her met? ._. Yes it was confusing as to how Keita learned his synchro dance moves w/o being taught. |
| Kuro is so badass. And that instant regeneration = wow. |

| nice animation, color and character design. high budget like sunrise..... the story, on the other hand, is cliche as always....and hopefully Keita will NOT turn out to be that generic male protagonist who is useless and let the girsl fight..... |

| that whole "power up thing" that the kid did was pretty lame, but the rest of the episode was pretty good 4/5 |

rreggiebryant1 said: that whole "power up thing" that the kid did was pretty lame, but the rest of the episode was pretty good 4/5 Yeah when he powered up I was like : =.= Omg, why they needed to do such a stupid shonen thing in a seinen >.> |
|
| I really enjoyed this episode the action scene's were great but I found that the main character did not really show much feeling about losing the little girl and the power up was a bit corny it felt like one of those stock transformation scenes you see all the time. Other then those 2 small things I am really looking forward to seeing how this series turns out as it looks like it could be a real gem. |

| This is really the best for Winter 08 I think. Kuro's an all-rounder. Cheerful, bad-ass, cute (when eating). Kuro's equation goes like this: Cute + Bad-ass + even more bad-ass mid-air combo + puppy in chest + always hungry = EPIC |

 |
| god, what I wouldn't give to have both the male protagonist and the girl beating the shit out of the bad guys in hand-to-hand combat for once. Of course, that's probably not how it will go. Keita will probably continue acting like a pussy or just stand around looking like he's actually doing something during fights. w/e. At least this show has Kuro. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Meh, at least it was better than the first episode. I was going to drop it if it didn't get better with this one lol. The action scenes are a little shounenish which is lame. I hope they throw in a little romance to make it more interesting for my tastes. I mean it doesn't have to be like SnS, but just a little lol. 3/5 for the episode. |
| Kuro >>>>> Keita and the fighting sequences rock so at least 60% of the anime will be watchable. |
 |
| Average episode. The fights seances wasn't really that interesting.Hope it get better. |
 |
| Only good thing in this anime is fight scens and animation. Synchro scene... n/c. Heart exchange... n/c. Keita so polite while noticed Kuro next to fridge... n/c. I prefer scen where he is throwing a glass and shouting: "Go to hell, damnit! You fucking brat!" ;) Why they made tipical shounen from good seinen? To widen age group, i know, i know :/ Have to forget about manga if i want to watch this anime. |
