Hozuki is worse than Team Rocket from Pokemon... I mean Alka=Pikachu here ;___; 6. This blonde girl is bad or good? I'm too confused now. To drop or not to drop - that is the question. You know I said I'd drop this shit last week, but I gave it another chance and I hate it more now. Alka is a walking piece of cardboard that kills people while you show gives you terrible philosophy lessons |

Alka is a walking piece of cardboard that kills people while you show gives you terrible philosophy lessons This episode was so incredibly bad that I'm actually impressed. I'm pretty sure most or all of the reasons I thought it was bad have already been mentioned in this thread, so I'm not going to go into any detail. I'm not going to drop it though. Once you start getting into this level of badness there's a very high chance of entertaining trainwreck. All aboard! macehaed said: PaleBlue said: macehaed said: that was the worst anime episode ive ever seen. You didn't see Wizard Barristers episode 11 then...

Is it fun to watch? or is it that bad that no one shoul ever watch it? I wouldn't really recommend wizard barristers to anybody. Episode 11 had incredibly terrible animation to the point where I actually thought there was an issue with the video, but most of the show isn't a complete failure on a technical level. If you really want to know whether you'll like it or not you should just watch it yourself. I mean, if you think it sucks you can just stop watching. |

CodeZwei said: am i missing something or was it never explained why holy spirits are "bad" Not really. As far as we have seen its made into a powerenhancing drug, which is used by the goverment(?) to stay in charge. I thought they pressed villages into producing it, but it looks like its more like they prosper when they grow it. But maybe its just like in RL (opium) and there is not enough foodproduction in the land. The guy came across as really weak to me and his cause was just bleh. All in all the motives of the villagers were understandable, the flowers filled their stomachs. But some things were off like other stated, e.g. no fear after the soldiers died. |
| Psh. if Aruka was in Akuma no riddle, she would have killed the girl within 30 seconds of episode 1, in front of the class, while the blue haired chick stares at her dumbstruck. And her wish would be revenge. Also, that screaming guy. Is that Eren Yeager I hear? Or am I hearing things? |

yaminogame91 said: THEY MUST ALL DIE, DIEEEE.Also, that screaming guy. Is that Eren Yeager I hear? Or am I hearing things? *ahem* This episode to all the other ones before was really bad. I actually thought B&S was gonna be better than this (it's atleast still better than some other, certain shows this season) but this episode was just so bad that I don't have any words for it. Really hope the next ep about Jin Varrel is gonna be better. |
| Honestly, what the hell just happened? I don't get this anime at all. There is no good, evil or goals. Just people killing each other at the flip of a coin. I suppose I should be enjoying something like this, but even the killing is on a mediocre level. I feel a tiny bit of sympathy with the psycho justice guy, mostly because he's dynamic, has a goal, and what he's saying is technically "right", although skewed to an unbelievably wrong degree. There rest of the characters are just "there" - the big-boobed bitch, the fatass mayor, and the stupidass bitch who died to save the fatass. Shouldn't Alka be getting revenge on the empire and their stock of these flowers? What is she doing? |

| Another episode where Alka meets some randoms who die. |
 |
| Really? Nobody said that this episode was horrible in terms of animation, animators also used low resolution... And the story is even worse every next episode... |
| maybe its filler ?? because i doesn't make sense at all because how she end up with that psycho ? |

| What is going on shouldn't episode 6 be out now? |
IZEROII said: If you legitimately enjoyed this as a series then I honestly believe you need to reevaluate your definition of entertainment because watching tin foil blow in the wind probably is a way you kill time. SolviteSekai said: Lol wish fulfillment. It's always been my wish to be a greasy lolicon with a mullet who plays Civ all day every day. He got me. |
| Okay even I have to admit that was bad. There was no reason behind anyone's actions, just shallow stereotypes clashing for no reason. If we had some reasoning behind everyone's actions I would have liked the episode far more, but all we got were some shallow stereotypes clashing. |
 |
| Has to be one of the worst anime episodes I've watched. Any art not a facial close-up looked horrendous and, my God, that JUSTICE guy's screaming was painful and went on forever. What was even the point of the episode? A hostess has a village make drug-flowers, an old man has a whore and nobody is EVIL because the world is grey? It was as if Gonzo were trying to go for this really deep no good-bad episode... and totally cocked it up. |
| Done. Dropped. Leave it to Gonzo to make crap. This could have been a decent action anime... oh well. Glad that guy died by the end though. Pointless episode. |
  |
| 3/5 Episode of transition, for all practical purposes they do not need to develop the plot and will give a better characterization of the characters, including Alka. No, maybe a little more you can find out about Karen, who for now remains a mystery. Alka is a real piece of ice, but what I like, I never could stand those protagonists turncoats, who for no reason have a sudden change in attitudes, this continuity of Alka I like. Drawing a tad mediocre, animations on the same floor. In a sense, we could read this episode as an example of pure hypocrisy that emerges from the male character, who seems to be so busy in proving to be in the right, but not the end of it then shows in his actions and in his way of talk; it was really annoying when shouting. I hope the next installment is more substantial. |
 |
| Honestly I have no idea what's happening right now. Did they really have to devote an entire episode so we can hear that annoying guy scream about how those blue flowers aren't right? All I got from this episode was Karen's really influential, owns a village that produces those hallucinogenic flowers, Alka's still like the walking dead and what's right and just is subjective. Could have been done in 10-15 minutes yes? *shrugs* Maybe I'm just turning into an unappreciative viewer :/ |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| The guy who hired Alka was a complete piece of shit who I wanted dead within the first 5 minutes ... unfortunately he lasted way, way too long with his shrieking about what was 'good and just'. Then he finally snapped and Karen officially became my favorite character by finally putting an end to him. I thought for sure that Alka was going to be the one to end Mr Douchebag, but she just stood there not saying anything (which is kinda her M.O. for this series). We're 5 episodes in and everything Alka's said could fit on a single page. The side characters (Karen and the bounty hunter) have had more character development than our main heroine. And what is she doing farting around accepting bodyguard jobs, anyway? Isn't she supposed to be getting revenge? This show ... not really so good, you know? |
| Well, that was an pointless, boring and lame episode... was asking god to end already, after I realized how nonsense it was... |
| ... |
| main plot is slipping and completely unclear now. Is Karen an antagonist now for growing the evil flowers? Whats the point of this show? |
~my list
| Disappointed by this episode. Animation and artwork when completely to hell and after the last episode where it seemed we were finally getting more character built-up this one was quite bland. Sure we got a few small moments like how she looked her hand and in the end didn't just do her job but still. Also this guy was such an unknown along with the whole village that we hardly cared enough. Worst episode until now really. Also lol how two powerful women didn't even care enough to stop him when he attack with he knife. tingy said: ResidentANM said: This was a strange episode. I feel like almost nothing got resolved. Yeah, not really sure what was the point of the episode either :/ I guess it was kind of trying to shows that right and wrong ain't that simple and there is grey and that people and their needs isn't just about the right thing. Something like that although i haven't put it very well. Unfortunately the whole thing went to hell because of low budget and miserable characters. |
| This was okay I guess... too much pointless deaths. |
 |
| This could have been the one and only episode without Hazuki, yet she had to be incorporated into it because? Because. Two less than 10 second scenes, I forgot though, Gonzo always did pointless shit in most of their adaptions. |

J053PH said: God, that guy was so fucking annoying, I was so glad when he got stabbed. Yep. Back to back episodes where I was happy when the character introduced during the episode, later got killed in that same episode. This series leaves me with weird feelings of anger and amusement, lol. |
| I don't need no instructions to know how to rock! |
| Karen is getting more interesting. Kind of slow anime but thats okay for now I guess |
| LMAO. That angry guy made my day. His constant screaming was so hilarious to listen to. xD However, this was a little weird episode. I agree with everyone here. R.I.P Malna. :( She didn't deserve to die. She was a kindhearted woman. |
