| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn, it must be tough for Rinka and the way her new life is going on about now. Otherwise, I see that her father is giving approval for Kyoutarou to look after her. Good to see Peggy again this episode as well. Thought that was kinda refreshing with the penguin. |
 |
| The Ghostbusters LOLLOLOLOL...no |
 |
| Don't underestimate your daughter. xD Peggy's so kawaiiii~ can not wait for the next episode! |
 |
Vooo said: The Ghostbusters LOLLOLOLOL...no There's plenty more references than that. Including one from a place far far away |
| That Yakuza Boss looks like Leonidas and Rinka's dad looks like Wolverine hahahahaha... |

| "You don't even wear a mask." "I'll be okay, my hair color changes." Lol brilliance. Rindou is the best, he reminds me so much of Joseph Joestar. Lol I kept expecting him to go, "OOOOH NOOOO!!!" The pacing was... better.... but still horrifyingly bad. My emotions couldn't keep up with what was going on X_X One minute we're in some badass action scene then immediately after we're in some dramatic scene, then before your mind can comprehend the feelings of the drama it switches to a comedic scene and then goes back to drama, more drama, action, comedy. Gaaah |
| Against my better judgement I read the manga, and I know now where the weeaboos are coming from. They're rushing, taking out the comedy and only advancing the plot without having characterization first. A bad adaptation. On its own, it's just lolz, so bad it's good, cheesy as hell, but takes itself seriously. It's just plot advancement after plot advancement, most things feel weightless and meaningless. But it got a few laughs out of me for how atrociously bad it is. Silly action is also delivered in a cheesy manner as well. 3/5 OK, just for the lulz |
 |
| Nice episode really intense too with the kidnapping. Looks like that girl who owns the penguin gained esper powers too. |

Same here, I started to read it after what happened with the first episode, and dang, the adaptation just doesn't do the manga justice. But I guess if it's making people read the manga, then it's doing its thing of promoting the manga. Anyways, Peggy so cute :D |
| Quite the good ep :) I really like how Rinka's dad gained a power at the same time as her. That's something I rarely see in series ^^ And he's a BA being well known by the Yakuza lol I felt it was a bit stupid that he couldn't knock her out and she was able to knock him out -.- Azuma was friggin BA when he owned those guys and shot that X-burner guy XD Interesting to see where the fish are coming from :O |
 |
| We got Pyro and Leonidas as well as Rinka's dad giving a shoutout to Wolverine Can this series just get any better xD And Azuma going dark was pretty intense =o Rinka got her ass whooped, but that didn't surprise me..All in all it was a good episode |
| Felt like things got crazy really quickly. 4/5 |
 |
| Azuma was a bit cool on this episode. I guess action wise this adaptation is not that bad. However, the comedy part is nowhere as good as the manga. I still don't like Azuma's voice, somehow it makes him feel a bit different from the manga. |
 |
| Peggy is so cute XD |
| Love this episode.. we have Leonidas, Wolverine and a Hummer stretch. |
| “Are there some unseen roles that we have unknowingly set ourselves into, dictating the rules of engagement whenever we see each other, inevitably leading to us hurting each other?” |
| Well, I think the backstory will take a while since the 1st episode, but eh I will wait. This episode was sort of better then the previous one, and somewhat getting a little intense. It could use a bit of comedy in here, I got bored when there are no funny stuff in here. |
| love peggy. i wonder why he flies and catches fish? where do these fish come from? i guess the red haired girl always stays evil, since we saw her in the beginning. im still confused as to when we're going back to that time and what's happened since then. i really want to know what that girls power is going to be! |

Nasty001 said: Oh fuck, when will this flash back thingy end and end the city chaos incident already? THe city chaos incident is at the end of the first half of the manga. So you're in for a long wait if that's what you are looking forward to |
| Better than episode last week. Want to skip to the continuation of episode 1. |
 |
| I think this episode was better than last weeks can't wait to see the next one - |
| I did not expect Rinka to get beaten so fast, That other guy who can Teleport like Azuma looks pretty interesting. He is holding some sort of stone/ part of a tablet or something I guess and the fish come from that as well. Really want to know more about these flying fish and that thing he is holding. Also I wonder what he meant by "In the end, the fish are the ones who decide everything" |
| Who you gonna call??? Also, apparently this is Sparta... |

| Well, the incredible amount of pop culture reference made this episode a little better, but the usual cliché being used gave me reason enough to not like "that" much. In the end, the ghost busters, the awesome melee penguin and other references, and actual plot follow-up are what it set this episode apart from the past two. I hope to continue seeing this references and of course, who doesn't like some actual plot and character development. Anyhow, I'm still waiting for the show to go back to the actual timeline... You now, the one on the first episode. |

| Can't wait to see what is Murasaki's power going to be. |

| I never even find myself caring anymore when someone "dies" because I know they'll miraculously survive. her dad should've burnt to a crisp. |
| [size=200]MAL AVATAR SYSTEM BLOWS |
| This is madness! That King Leonidas face and the wolverine reference lol (even his hair). |
 |
| Yay, some more action! I enjoyed it. Full stop. |
 |
| As much promise as I see in the story and characters, and as much as I love the ending, I can't look past how awful the direction is. You don't have to be a manga reader to be able to tell that this is extremely rushed and thrown together. I guess the somewhat late staff reveals should have been a sign it would be poorly prepared. |
 |
| Stupid. Why isn't there any bystanders or running cars in the streets in every scene? (Except for those three hags.) |

| Are the character designs the same in the manga or is this like some kind of Western characters parody? The Ghost Busters wanted to catch Peggy, Murasaki's dad looks like Leonidas and Rinka's dad is Wolverine (flashes 3 of those metal thingys on his clenched fist too!). I'm not sure if I should be amused or irritated but it's certainly intriguing. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Ok so Rinka's powers have their limitations after all, otherwise it would be a bit broken. A lot of new characters and development ensuing there. Seriously now I hate that red-haired girl, there is a limit at to how much you can take revenge by losing a fight and torching a house down just to "teach a lesson" is really the lowest she could do. I don't care if this bitch later becomes good later on (or so it seems) I want her to get a real beating from top to bottom and I can see Rinka is physically fit enough to able to. |

This show is just a treasure trove of pop culture references. As for this episode itself, I want to know who that other teleporting samurai is, and his relationship to Azuma. |

| So,as someone who loved Ga Rei Zero and the Ga Rei manga(okay,maybe the manga not as much as the anime),I got curious as well and decided to check the manga a bit - only as far as the anime covered so far. While I'm enjoying this show a lot,I definitely see where the complaints are coming from now as well...But for the sake of enjoying the anime,I won't read further until it's over or maybe just read as far as the anime covers. |
