Onyx-the-great black dragon! (see what I did thar?) ^^

Also nice to finally see some action! Ryuji is a lvl 10 Breaker, but even so it seemed he could do nothing to protect Rose. And then she just went with Onyx because Ryuji yelled at her to leave her alone earlier! ;_;

Hopefully they'll save her next episode!

I'm not understanding the entire meaning of being a Breaker. Ryuuji appears to be a high leveled one, but he seems inherently useless. And his character's really unlikeable. I'm not particularly enjoying how it's progressing, but I suppose it leaves room for more development.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Oh I got it straight that it's all cliche but I like the art difference this series produces so that's my trick in liking animes that repeat a lot of things you mention. Else I would long ago have done something else. What's good in this series is the art, particularly the characters although some also generic.

Lol. Good point. If I didn't enjoy generic anime I wouldn't watch as much anime as I do. Let's face it, new and unique doesn't happen every season.

Back when I enjoyed generic fantasy fiction I always had a book in my hand. Not a month would go by that I didn't read a trilogy or two. Eventually I got fed up with seeing the same dwarves I've seen before and now I'm lucky if I read two fantasy novels a year. Can't wait for wise man's fear. I just thank all the stars that never happened with anime. Whenever it starts to get stale I just play videogames for a few months and when I come back everything is awesome again^^

So let me get this straight:

1. People are bitching about Ryuuji taking his frustrations out on Rose.
-While understandable that she is innocent, do understand that Ryuuji DID say his parents were always obsessed with the Lost Precious and other things. Rose is pretty much a physical manifestation of what his parents were always obsessing over. Remember that he said he was in Albania because his parents were most likely searching for dragons or whatnot and not on a pretty little family vacation.

2. Ryuuji didn't bother putting up a fight against Onyx cause he's a pussy ass bitch.
-Honestly, HOW many other fucking anime follows this SAME exact trope? Protag gets beaten up and is unable to do anything against a far superior villain. I see absolutely no reason to whine and bitch and blow this one out of proportion when it happens in every other anime out there. LV10 breaker or not, he's up against a fully mature dragon who is probably able to use his powers to the fullest.

3. It's "boring" and Rose being captured is "too soon" and stuff doesn't "make sense".
-What the fuck? There are shitloads of anime out there that just throws a huge load of information and not answer anything until later. Complaining about this is moot. And how the hell is Rose being captured "too soon"? Would you rather they spend half the whole series doing absolutely nothing but play House and go to school like some retarded slice of life? Shit happening this early can mean shit is going to happen later on.
Exactly. Especially the third point is what i said too. People complaining that this shit usually happen after 7-8 episodes. WTF? The anime should apologize for not being clishe and playing harem house for 9 episodes leaving all the plot at the last two episodes?
Tsuki-Hime said:
Yeah, its second episode that's why i said in my first post. story is moving too fast. actually if there more reasons come up to save her, with some kind of different plot or situation, then its great, and that's why i will give this show a chance for one or two more episodes. otherwise, just because Onyx took her and now he got obligation to save her. unfortunately that will not work for me.

Your reasons are as stupid as they can get since 95% of anime are people saving people they hardly know. If we want to talk about illogical i can't find a lot more illogical things in every anime you gave a good score too.
Besides his a man. He needs no more reason than the fact that a nice beutiful girl that loved him is in danger. That's what men are supposed to do. Many of us do it in reality too.
Not to mention that he has even more serious reasons because she gave herself to that dragon without a fight so he won't get hurt(how can any person be satisfied with that and not want to help back) and that she's a valuable lost precious they fought to get. Also you can't claim she's a complete stranger. He already spend almost two days with her holding his hand all the time, they already have a basic pond.

You know I have a response to say too all the people in every episode discussion who make these type of comments.

- Story is going too fast / too slow.
- Story / character is generic / cliche blah blah.
- The ending was too rushed.

Please. The fact of the matter is the problem lies with you having to criticise everything. I want to read discussion about the contents of the show, not read the same(generic/cliche >.>) comments over and over on every anime and have someone argue. I won't get more insight on the show like this. I think everyone can make up their own mind on whether they think the pace is good or whatnot without having to hear this. Anyway, I'm just putting it out there.

Finally got around to watching this ep.
Not as good as Ep 1 but it did explain a few things if you dig a little

From what I can tell Breakers are a term given to those with the ability to use the lost treasures something like a license I suppose.

A Level 10 is probably his strength while using a treasure and also means he can use rare ones like S class and so on

The Society is something like the government research facility where they keep track of Lost treasures and the Breakers as well as research anything new.

As for why Ryuji didnt fight against Onyx it was due to him having a bad experience with a Cursed Treasure when he was little (See Ep 1)
So he wants nothing to due with lost treasures
I also think his parents ignore him for lost treasures and thus he hates them all

I don't like where this is going. Onyx is way too powerful, if Rose is going to be saved in the next episode, it will be hard to accept. I don't think she would be help captive for long. Meh, we'll see. 3/5

bleh. I thought Rose gonna fight against Brack Dragon ._.


Same here but there's always next episode.
Seemed to me that he was a adult dragon and Rose realized fighting him would have been meaningless.
Tho i agree it kind of sucks and i don't like the direction this is going.

Ryuji's mother doesn't seem to be a very good mother based on her short phone call and his reaction.
I am wondering how she looks tho.
Guess it will have to wait for next week.

The bad guy seems to be a narcissist with lolicon intentions who doesn't like hurting woman, in other words he doesn't have any points of interest which is a bit disappointing.


Considering it is an Anime,the mom is probably hot. Seriously even when they have 7 kids. Also cool. Onyx has the same voice as Izaya. Guess he likes voicing mildly creepy yet Bishounen fangirl bait.

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Rose went off with the Black Dragon without putting up a fight.

She is also shown to be imprinting which explains her extreme affection for Ryuuji, it's so cute and it was explained in Ryuuji's past since he witnessed her hatching from an egg while in the mountains and he was the first thing she has seen.

The next episode Ryuuji is going to rescue her.


How do you know it's really imprinting, something happened after Ryuji fell unconscious and it's pretty obvious that's the reason.

Just went because Ryuji yelled at her? Wtf, she went to 'protect' Ryuji obviously. Also, obviously again, off course he's going to go save her next episode.




Wtf is a Breaker lvl 10, doesn't even have any powers or w/e and let's Pedobear I mean Black Dragon w/e guy kidnap loli.

I'm glad to know that I wasn't the only one who disliked this episode.

The best part was that little scene in the school. That girl... is cute.

But what did we get aside of that? Boring exposition, the realization that the main-character is a dramaqueen, some textbook bad guy and one of the most retarded plotdevices at the end of the episode.

There are some who are able to write plot, but this author apparently isn't. He should probably stick to slice of life/comedy. Episode 1 was not bad at those parts.

... This main character is a mess...
Seriously Ryuji... w...t ...f?

Thought about it, and I think I'm going to drop this before I start hating his character more. Man up, there are people who are in worst family situations than you. And I honestly hated how he quickly and suddenly he realizes that he needed to save Rose AFTER telling her to leave him alone. I know it's plot and development and all but that was some poor pacing as far as the story goes. Rose was the only decent character in this show, I find. I might pick it back up later, when Ryuji isn't as much of a pansy/emotional as he is now.

Great, another protagonist who's a push-over... From Ryuuji's description he sounds super powerful, but what I just saw was pathetic. I'll give this series a few more episodes to turn things around, but one thing I cannot handle is weak protagonists.

On a side note, how can Rose suddenly speak?! Did I miss something or was she just staying quiet the entire first episode?

Well it definitely has gotten better and more interesting. I thought Ryuuji was supposed to be some kind of retired level 10, super powerful guy but when Rose left with Onyx he just lay there like a weakling. Also, all of a sudden Rose can say more than "Ryuuji!" and "Ice" so that's kind of weird. Anyway, the story line is coming along and I'm looking forward to the 3rd episode.
