Her actual age is ----

That scene was so funny. :v

Two episodes so far and this anime is already my favorite for this Summer season.

I love Izzy's character design and her facial expressions too.

Can't wait for episode 3 next week.

Bluesy Fluesy has got to be the stupidest name I've ever heard. And the idea that an Army LT is given any respect or responsibility is lol.


No, that didn't happen the way you describe at all. some homeless man gave me a glass looking thing and I got the power without even knowing what it was

This show has some great faces


I like both the main girls, this looks like the Big Order of this season maybe, but less aggressively awful

I’ve read up to chapter 35 of the manga (why not? It doesn’t take that long to read it), and just like the anime the pacing in the manga isn’t it doing it for me either. Plus, the manga gets worse as it goes on (nonsense on top of more nonsense, and not in a good way. Less martial arts, more supernatural, as well). MC being the worst offender.

I do believe the anime makes the so called comedy moments that are in the manga a lot worse. It’d be great if they would dial that down. For matter fact, why is there even comedy in this?


Pretty much same. Stopped reading manga after 10+ chapters cause it was not the best thing from the start and didn't get better. The CQC fighting scene 1st episode was really good so i thought that the fights might be worth watching. Well this episode didn't have any so to the next episode.
And as the 1st episode same is for this - the comedy is the worst part, feels like the jokes are shoved in the plot for no reason.

I'm not 100% but I'm pretty sure triggerless is a mistranslation and that it is in fact supposed to be limitless. Need to go check the manga to make sure since its been a while since I read it.


She just told him blood was his trigger but when she talks to the guy he says something about not knowing the entire truth so they prolly lied about the blood being a trigger so he doesn't accidentally trigger it cus if he finds out its trigger less then who knows what could trigger it and devour him

Its not a translation error. In the manga its called a key-less spell crest instead of triggerless, but they mean the same thing I guess. I don't even know how I read this without seeing this supposed error maybe she was lying and he can trigger it without anything , but I can't remember so we will have to wait and see

To think there would ever be a PSP GO in an anime. THAT IS STRANGE.
I guess there's some interesting development too.


Not just that, but looking at Tom's game collection more closely, you would see a Nintendo Wii, Xbox One and maybe a PS2/3? Either way, he's a gaming geek in my eyes! =)

Although there was less fighting scenes compared to the first episode, the animation has improved. Same with the 3D CGI used in the fights and in others scenes too.

Izzy's introduction to the school was funny. Even funnier was when she screwed over Seigi as well as groped his childhood friend too! Nice. =3

The story is getting more interesting. We already have two tattoo users who're after Seigi's trigger-less tattoo and return it to their master, who's already now a ruler of a kingdom that she easily annihilated.

Hopefully, considering we're only 2 episodes in, Seigi and Izzy can win their respective fights and also save Seigi's friend too.

Overall, this was a very enjoyable episode. =)

I quite enjoyed that episode. The MC names are even stupider that Heavy Object but the character designs are nice. It feels like a mix of Stray dogs and Magical Index. Pacing is an issue as everything just happened in one episode.

Im not expecting much from this series but I think it could be enjoyable. Don't mid a bit on fan service either.

To bad it seams like this only get 12 eps, and the last two eps has been one chapter each. With this pacing we are going to have 12 chapters.

There are 39 translated and like 50-60 in raw.

"Bluesy Fruezy" Nickname : "Izzy"
Character Design : Pony Tail, Silver hair color.
"Cool"
>instant favorite.

overall, great episode imo. i think it's getting more better. but with this pace and the connection between the tatoo, kingdom and the professor who put the tatoo on the MC hand in the first episode, i doubt this anime will get only one cour. well, let's just see. either way, i'm okay with it.

but man, Izzy sure looks cool and hot imo without considering her age
probably she is gonna be one of my fav girl of the season.

the comedy part in the classroom was pretty generic (man, i have been saying generic for many times this week)
i mean, i have see that kind of stuff more than 3 times so it didn't make me funny but that fanservice sure is well made xD

looking foward for the next episode.

So she actually older than tom, so I'm guessing that the picture in her locket is her old self......so if she is starting to fall in love with Seigi, then that would make her a Loli MILF.

So Touko got posses by some tatooed user, I don't know about you but will she be the new owner of the tatoo once Seigi kills the real enemy?

I am hoping Touko doesn't suffer the curse of the "childhood friend" early on. They seriously have terrible luck in anime/manga

Bluesy Fluesy joins the class and I refuse to believe that is her actual name, and shall await her true identity to be revealed. And we got deep into the trash fan service. Also, BOOBS DON'T HAVE SOUND EFFECTS. But oh well, shall continue for the awesome fighting and massive spike in quality that comes with it.

Well, that escalated quickly. Touko doesn't listen to him and puts them both at risk. She reminds me of the sometimes annoying childhood friend from Sora no Otoshimono.

Bluesy faces off against a sadist. I'm interested in how they will get out of this mess.

Love the comedy here, I laugh a lot, the relationship misunderstanding betwee n Seigi and Bluesy, and the lewd scene though, the girls looks hot. The animation again amazed me, the mood shifting from the comedy to serious part by the use of tone of colors. The gore scene though, well expecting for more. So we've got a bit of character development, and more details about the war and tattoos. And now looking forward to the battle between Izzy and the funny sadistic dude, also how will Seigi will take action.

I though it was going to be a transition episode, but, hell, the ending was intense. The first half was okay with boob grabs, school stuff, etc. But the second half, God. I hope Tom it's not dead, we didn't even see the power of his tatoo and I like him. The lolicon, snake bad guy it's fucking hillarious.

Btw, I cannot have a character named Bluesy Fluesy in an action anime and have an straight face. The pronunciation makes that even worse (in a funny way).

Hope the battles of the next episode will be great, because so, far, the fights have been really well animated.

I like how a 40+ year old woman is going around molesting teenage girls. If they could drop the typical clichés and go for more action, that'd be great. The action isn't half bad.

Pretty good episode, fanserivce wasn't really that badly done and it didn't take a big chunk out of the episode. Blond girl can transfer her mind into a different body, which is pretty standard and Izzy is gonna fuck that one guy up in a few hits.

Only thing I like so far is the fact that Tom and Gin-san share the same voice actor...

I have never seen an anime in which the comedy has not made me laugh--so props, Taboo Tattoo 8V You are the first anime whose comedy has failed to make me laugh. I only smiled at Gin--Imean Tom's Engrish.

OTL I feel like this is gonna go SAO route. Beautiful animation, wonderful cinematography, but a bland plot with characters who continue to make illogical decisions just for the sake of making it 'intense' and 'suspenseful.'

I was gonna drop it, but eh. May as well continue to give it a chance. \ o - o /
If only for Gin--Tom.

Interesting so far.. The childhood friend is basically a possessed yandere now, Tom is basically dead as hell, and Bluesy is basically being stripped by a sadist. Very unique way to have the second episode of a series.

Ocean by the school lol, more prison school feel.
BF seems a more likeable than Nao (charlotte) so far, & they got the same job, collecting abilities violently.
She had a younger brother in that photo it seems.
Bg art got better, that dark shaded city fits the antagonists well. Fights consistently cool.
Mindcontrol OP umbrella & Rin as princess. Too much Big Order vibes, hope it doesn't go there.

While this is pretty cliche so far, the fight scenes are smooth as hell.

All I'm hoping for is that there is no: "Snap out of it, character that is being brainwashed!1!" and then she actually snaps out of it before she kills him. Please no.
