Yeah man, sorry but can we not keep skipping huge chunks of time or rushing through stuff that actually needs more buildup? Like that painter kid, we knew nothing about him beforehand, and his whole arc was over in no time. I couldn’t empathize with anyone at all. And then they just keep jumping straight to the aftermath, as if letting the characters actually talk to each other is somehow a bad thing.

Anyways, new baddie there at the end... literally, girl was in her panties and everything. Not complaining though( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Amo's already here! She looks so good in the anime. I think she looks a bit older/more mature here. Not ready for this though, like not at all. Btw was really happy when I saw HanaKana was gonna voice her, sounds great.

I'm glad this anime dedicates two whole episodes for Remlin. If sustainability is the brain of Gachiakuta, then graffiti is the soul. I also have to apologize to Remlin because in previous episode I call "her" but upon further investigation there's no gender data on Remlin yet. What I don't apologize is my demand to see full tattoo body of what Remlin draw on the cleaner, specifically Enjin. At least I get to see Rudo shirtless, even if I'm not the one measuring his size and his tightness while he sleep.

Oh, and this anime needs more praise in visual aspect, I know this season is full of anime with amazing animation and Gachiakuta might not belong to the top contender but it doesn't mean that it's not good.

The team fighting the scorpion trash beast is so cool and Rudo's personal creativity is the highlight.

Amo is here! and she looks stunning and mysterious as ever.

The gloves determined the best way to let that keyboard go out with a bang was to let Rudo to full keyboard warrior and I wouldn't have it any other way lol.

Well that's a solid blow to Enjin's cool factor.

I hear you, but last week's episode was one of the weakest, if not the weakest. I fear even the beginning of this episode may turn some people off. 1 episode and a small part of this one is generous imo for Remlin. We cannot spend too much time on side characters. We need Amo, Rudo and Zodyl, NOW.

If cour 1 splits at episode 12, we only have 2 more episodes to dive into the next big chunk of the series, and we need every minute. NEXT WEEK GONNA BE LIT WOOOOO 🗑🗑🗑🚮

This show is starting to get boring now. It's using that cheap trick of introducing new mysteries while making zero progress on them. So far:
1. We don't know anything about why Rudo was framed for murder or what the actual murderer's motive was.
2. We don't know why there are people out to get Rudo
3. Now we don't know who this Amo person is.
This episode was mindless action with barely any plot movement, and the entire Remlin arc didn't move the plot forward either. We're halfway through the series and I'm already starting to fall asleep.

@saada_ Just 10 episodes have been aired and the story of Gachiakuta builds up rather slowly than quick. Instead of already getting every single question answered, I would rather wait and be patient about it. I'm able to tell you why some people are after Rudo, but I would spoiler you. We're going to get more informations about who Amo is + her backstory.

Btw Remlin isn't really a major character. They just appears from time to time. I wouldn't say it wasn't a filler episode, just an introduction of a character. If you need something with a higher pacing, then go to Solo Leveling then.

I'll be honest, I didn't see the whole point of dicking around in Canvas Town for two episodes. I thought they had to get a spell on Rudo because the mask wasn't ready. But so far, we don't even know what the spell is or what it does.

At least the rest of the episode was fun. The variety in Rudo's weapons will be fun to watch, because they could be anything.

And holy moly, the new girl is supremely cute.

hmm, Ive been anticipating a bit more than what I watched this week. But I think my anticipation was misplaced in part of the plot that I thought was going to be explored moving forward in this show. I believe most of the anticipation can be found in my previous statement about this weeks episode.

Moving forward, the show picks off with the goal of last weeks episode. To get rudo painted. For the plot. Obvious theres a lore reason that helps them getting protection yada yada, but im more so wanting to explore, the pace of this episode. and the likes. The Plot for this episode was abit underwhelming to say the least. The hype around the women they have to meet is built up and is being tackled. Which I thought was going to dragged through the mud until protag-kun finally discovers his magical girl powers handed down by the president of japan or something. So when they mentioned her through the BOSS, I though "OH SHIT end game lore which will take 500+ episode to find out who she is" something along that line. uh We're there. At the place they lore dropped the lady was at, so uh hmm. I guess we're run it to the baddies next episode because they dont know who they are supposed to be looking for and what she might even look like. Just that she's a women at the location they're going to. Which the baddies are also going to. I dont know. Im rambling.

These are the things I liked about this episode. We got to exposition on how the transfer works, and its sounds like so long as the chosen has a freedom type of mentality when it comes to drawing then they are chosen to draw as the wielder of the tool. Which this version seems to be freaking out the former's companion aka Enjin. Which was a pretty fun scene to watch. The major going "dont try to understand this, its just going to confuse you further" . Another thing. Kudo got to pick out a few things before heading into NO MANS LAND, where lore is, in the things he picked out a specific tv is given a bit too much screen time... hehe. And is it hinting that the baddies are "spying" on them? or is it that there was a alignment between the baddie's boss and RUDO? I think the former to be likely answer. Anyway with that the show ends on a cliff hanger. I am not happy? or excited about, just meh feeling, like somehting doesnt feel right with any of this.


Thats that. Rating time.

Plot: 10/10
get to no mans land

Theme: 7/10
prep time?

Characters: 10/10
Rudo's mask is killer, freaking awesome

OST: 10/10
uh not enough oomf in this one but great regardless

Overall: 8/10
great not much I can get out a prep episode. I will do my best next time!

ANYWAY! BYE

Good episode but how the hell did they fall for the same trick twice? Like, they should've known she was suspicious and still got caught off guard? The cleaners might get bodied if they keep letting their guard down. The new chick looks 🔥 but those strings attached to her legs look painful af. I wonder if that's related to her ability because why else would you pin that to your leg.

So new babe’s name is Amo? I thought she was talking about someone else named Amo but I guess she just talks in the third person lol. But holy shit her design is amazing, just out walking around in her underwear plus a boob window, the orange and black thing she has going on is great too, puts me in a Halloween mood tbh. But damn she fucked the crew up good huh, and right after they were all badass against those scorpion trash beasts (nice to see them properly animated again), also Rudo became a literal keyboard warrior lol, but yeah that is unfortunate that happened to them, I wonder how this sexy babe did it.

We also got a bit more with Remlin at the start, not sure what spells were put on the gang but maybe we’ll find that out eventually, also wow badass mayor, he doesn’t have that title for nothing. And the mask for Rudo that August cooked up looks pretty epic, all the masks do as we saw during the scorpion fight, it took the cool character designs and made them even cooler, also apparently August is siblings with Eishia, that’s a funny little relationship they have. And lastly, they use blood to communicate huh, that’s pretty metal, poor Rudo had to give his blood too tho, he wasn’t ready for that lol.

From start to finish, I really enjoyed this episode. Everything felt unique in concept and full of art.

There’s a scene where Rudo is allowed to scavenge through scrap items. One of the things he picks up is a TV.
While Rudo is busy choosing items, the TV suddenly turns on and shows an adult wearing the same gloves Rudo is wearing.
Who is that? Could it be Rudo’s father?

@KOTFTW they were cautious tho, it's safe to assume Enjin is the strongest in this group and he planned on taking her on if she got hostile, that's like a valid precautions but unfortunately wasn't enough

I wonder if Rudo had been cool with the tattoo if it could have had a permanent effect. Like perhaps, stop one major hit per day or something like that?
