Well i really really like the conflicts they try to work out in this anime .. but why even bother showing the fights when they do sth like that? Thats like showing the first 30 mins of 300 and then talk about how the spartans lost and then credits ..

bah i give em some more chances .. hope they dun dissappoint me !

I thought the episode was terrible. The pacing was horridly fast and tried to push so many ideas with in. The voice acting was put on maximum speed and the cuts were just jumpy and poorly executed. If you had to condense 2 or 3 episodes... This is not a good solution. Just my two cents.

We all knew Jennifer is a total babe, now they're just teasing me, lol.

Loved the exchange of emotions and words with Mashu and Kimimaro though. I liked the episode but I just feel like the transitioning between all these good scenes is too rushed and doesn't flow well.

Exactly! Wish we got to see him use his mezzo though. I guess it is the right idea to prioritize the interactions over the battles, but don't cut either short like that! XD

lol... i cant believe that they troll us in that deal/battle, especially after showing us how badly mashu was injured but still protecting kimimaro (which tear my heart apart...>.<)

p.s. i really like how they showed us about different ideals that people hold about future and present, which neither of them are right, nor wrong

This show needs to be longer. It's really interesting, raising difficult questions and making you think, but 11 eps are just too short to fully develop topics they touch upon. That's why we get disappointing skips and jumps. It seriously needed to be a two-season show...

Sennoza was probably busy not attacking in order to not cause too much damage to Kimimaro. What I don't understand is how Kimimaro can possibly do any sort of significant damage to him. Since the strength of a flation is based on the amount he invests, and Sennoza's fortune is obviously much larger in scale than Kimimaro's - 9,870,000,000 yen, no quotes of Kimimaro's wealth but considering how many deals he's gone through, and his efforts to win as little as possible, I'd be surprised if he has more than 1% of that (about $1.2 million USD), which is a very generous assumption. In this case, the maximum possible damage he can inflict on Sennoza whould be the combined value of all the funds he has available, which could not possibly have any significant impact on Sennoza (enough to drive him out of his office). If losing 1% of your midas money is enough to put you out of business, how does the Starling Guild even hope to "control" any of the deals? If they fail and lose by 1%, they are done according to what this episode has shown me.

Ehhh, Kou was so cool! XD I honestly don't think Yoga would be strong enough to upset him like that, I mean, he was uber hurt and Kou seemed to have way more money than him. Even if he underestimated him, I don't think he would have lost :P
Jennifer is really awesome too. Random food FTW, and it seems like they both don't trust the guild. Info came a little too fast and furious though, couldn't quite understand everything ...
Seems like one side thinks about future, the other about the present. Personally of course I think they are both important ... hard to say who's "right" I suppose. Meh, we'll see :P

Except you forgot that Mikuni got 90% of his asset's stocks or less but he bought some off therefore may have a ease in pumping money into Kimimaro's asset which in turn may screw Kou himself.

For everyone saying "this isn't a battle anime", so what? Katanagatari was not a battle anime, it had overtly long and fast dialog EXACTLY like this show. But do you know what it did? I still had some great fight scenes.
It didn't rush everything and only show half of what should be shown.

Should have shown the fight scene.

Overall, it showed that minimizing the loss isn't solving the problem so not that bad of an episode. At least, there are plot progression but the anti-climactic battle was a disappointment.

Don't like Mashu. Would have prefer that hot undercover lady agent.

This episode is way better than the previous one. I like to see some ideals other than Jeniffer's and Mikuni's. Kimimaro sure did nice blows to the opponent and still I wonder if he win by leading him to bankrupcy, because it must be pretty hard for him at this point.

One thing I hate about this show is how it jumps/skips frames on purpose. No, it's not an interesting or unique way to animate things, it's just annoying. I feel like those above; like I blinked and missed whole sections. Fluidity and continuity are important, y'know.

Anyway, still don't know where this show is trying to go or what it's trying to say and we've gone past the halfway mark. Kimimaro better get his shit together and decide what he wants to do.

Wow, Was Yoga getting seduced or was he getting SEDUCED? Those.. French fries, the hammburger~ I would've been sold right then and there. He sure does have a strong heart not to get lullled into joining her. xD I'm joking of course. Getting onto the more serious topics, that fight, was brutal. They got the shit kicked out of them, for lack of better terms. How the heck did they win against such a monster? Well, I guess the 10 million mezzo attack did have enough power to level a city block, and the guy did say he used two.. But whatevs. I'm having trouble seeing why he even fought in the first place. Was he just full of angst at that moment and wasn't making sensible desicions? I mean, even if the guy was weak as heck I would've still opted out of the fight, that guy is helping the CHILDREN. Ugh, this show doesn't make any sense. Pure curiosity of how it turns out is the only thing thats making me watch it now.

The most brutal Duel in this series so far, with Msyu severely injured and lost an arm....Kimimaro needs to made up his mind either to fight or not.

At first I think I gonna dropped this anime due lots of confusing stuffs but this anime just keep getting better =)

More Msyu (and probably Q) in next episode~

I'll tell you why they cut the scene, its because they just couldn’t think of how Mysu in the state she was in was able to pull off 2 mezzoflations and defeat a full powered Angel. I call it bullshit and i love how everyone but a few have accepted that at face value.

Six episodes in and only a solid 5 so far. Can increase to a maximum of 6 if it does the second half better.

The emotional scenes are done badly. It's only six episodes, there's no relationship development other than him about to feed her ramen. They started as asset and entre and have not become anything more, so why do we need a "MSYUUU!!! NOOOOO!!!" scene.

On the plus side, Kou was good eye-candy and ear-candy.

That fight was pretty intense , so much power was projected against Mashu ;_; I felt so bad for her , emotional moment between her and Kimimaro got to me , those feels

DAISUKI MASHU!

Loved Jennifer , enjoyed her scenes

Senozza's asset is epic , although I'm sure he's the one who lost after seeing that last scene where he's relocating his office , he also mentioned that he underestimated Kimimaro

Let's totally judge quality of the episode by saying it was a cop out because it skipped two fire explosion sequences that totally haven't been done before. Where's my amazing action scene, damn it? I'm going back to my Dragon Ball Z and Katanagatari Episode 4 preview in a fit of rage.

But then again I'm no huge fan of battle shounens, so it doesn't really bother me when they cut such content.

Hmmm that must have been a hard decision for Kimimaro. Winning and create things like the vanish of the kids who Kou talked about or losing and hurting himself and the people around him.

Lucky Kimimaro. The scene with Jennifer must have been crazy for him :D

Also when Q talked about dating and Kimimaro was blushing because of that ^^

That fight was brutal, I felt so sorry for Msyu. All the blood and she lost an arm. Even if I know she will regnerate it was cruel ;_;

Sad that they skipped the fight, would have been interesting to see how they won.

The most interesting thing was seeing kimimaro being stretched in 3 different directions and having to make a choice. Oh and the boob shot that was nice. The whole I need you break down was wayyyy to early and should have been saved for later. Also cop out fight was lame and came off as a parody.

Well, that escalated quickly.From Yoga having feelings for his familiar to fan service from the "American" agent(who can't speak better English than my kindergarten self, for some reason ), along with some conflicting notions of the future and such, and finally, that black death.

Anyhow, let's hope that the plot moves along. It has been pretty stagnant.

Dunno if anyone noticed, but the defense fields for the familiars look like the AT(Absolute territory) fields for Neon Genesis Evangelion. Maybe it has something to do with the studio?

I hope there is a way that Yoga ends up with the familiar. She is quite hot and since she is a manifestation of his future, it only makes sense to date her.

The show's awkward pacing where the fight scenes are skipped reminds me of Eden of the East.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Jennifer's obsession with food is hilarious

I guess she was talking about how pouring Midas money into the economy now can backfire in the future...well that has pretty obvious connections to certain economic ideas. I guess Sennoza's philosophy is the opposite of instant spending. The story with Yoga's coworker's insurance was about the same dichotomy. And the whole representation of deals as a zero-sum game... Oh, and Q eating money is probably an allusion for time preference lol. Another interpretation: Q is the money "shredder", and Midas is the money printer. Q being the shredder is probably meant to represent Mikuni's views on minimizing effects on the real world.

I wonder what happens if several people call the driver at the same time to go to the Financial District. Well there're other ones probably.

That tunnel was certainly an unfortunate place for Yoga to fight...

In the beginning of the series it was said that only 2 characters have won their first game, mikuni and kimi, yet Mr Charity only lost 1? It was against mikuni and he was already wealthy so it could not have been his first game.
