| This series is losing steam REALLY quickly. I might just have to drop the anime and read the manga to really see what all the hype is about. |
T3hSource said: Still bad comedic times, still trying to sell its "dark" setting all the while trying to have fluffy slice of life scenes and a loli tsundere. The action was a nice fix, but is badly interrupted by the comedy. 2/5 Yeah. I'm really disliking how much comedy they've added into this. I'm simply happy I lowered my expectations prior to watching this. The manga definitely had comedic value instilled, but not at this level, and it was much more well-timed. |
| Nop. |
Darklight0303 said: WhipItGood said: I found the king intriguing....if it's not too much to ask, can a mangareader tell me if there are any possibilites of him being actually and willingly/consciously evil/sadistic and all this being a facade? He is just a sheltered child left in the influence of a bastard who shapes him in such a way as to keep power A pity, I find the sociopathic/sadistic noble boy archetype very amusing. Oh well. |
| Nice snipe Mine. Too bad I found out about this anime before it finished airing ... :/ I'd so marathon it. |

| Master martial artist can't break out of someone grasping his waist... classic. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| It was an okay episode, not much really happened though. |
 |
| Lol, what a master sniper ^_^ Almost blew Tatsumi's head off. |
 |
| Well that martial artist was a pushover alright... |
| For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave. Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. |
| Episode started out nicely then turned to shit with the typical "walking in on a bitchdere dressing up" shtick then picked up the pace later on. I'm glad MC is not allowing that piece of shit walk over him that much. The end combat was quite meh compared to previous episode |
| "Then again, if she's not my sibling, there's no bling, either" - Ararararagi Koyomi |
| I freaking love Mein, she's my favorite character so far <3 So far this is the best anime for summer 2014 |
 |
| Really wasn't feeling the anime-original scenes with Mein. They did that stupid cliche with the MC walking in on the girl changing and she beats the shit out of him. Blech, way to make the show even more generic, White Fox. |

Blech, way to make the show even more generic, White Fox. Yeah wasn't feeling that part either. At least the executioner is coming up. |
| Great episode again this week Was really glad that we got the Infiltration thing in this episode and that they adapted the next chapter perfectly The action was great as usual, although we got a lot of stills but the art for it captures the mood just fine. I think I know why they are doing that...This way they won't have to censor anything - and there wasn't any censoring as far as I'm concerned Braht and Leone were just awesome as always....But damn, I never laughed this much when I read this in the manga, I'm loving the comedy xD 5/5 Looking forward to the first Teigu v Teigu (Anime only people should pay close attention to the concept behind this) match in the next episode |
| For all the people complaining.. this ep pretty much followed the manga. If you don't like it, too bad. Complain to the creator of the manga, not the anime. The anime is doing a good job. Poor Tatsumi. That sniper shot. Might edit this into a background. Ah Akame. They didn't know what hit them. Creepy version of the PM. Or maybe the more realistic one. I hope Mokoto realizes the truth about the kingdom and is a just ruler. And not die. Not his fault he is being manipulated so. |
| @Duri1n Don't bother, it's a battle shounen pretending to have a "dark seinen" setting without it being represented or influencing the cliche and shallow characters, who do not change or develop, except Tatsumi ofc. And no, you shouldn't take it seriously, but at the same time it's not that funny either unfortunately. But lower expectations always help. And yes, the whole teigu stuff is just an anime excuse for having shounen battles. |
 |
| For everyone who doesn't like it because it's not as good as the manga , please leave silently without commenting stuff that ruins our entertainment , i didn't read the manga and i find it be an awesome anime so far . |

kikohunter said: So did they add the missing part of chapter 2 or no? Are they just going to not adapt it? THey did incorporated it but left out one small detail |
| So they decided to adapt the rest of chapter 2 that they skipped. Have to say I'm surprised. I thought they'd just leave it out. Getting to see the Teigu was awesome. Extra fanservice scenes were good too. |
 |
| pretty ok episode not sure why they didn't just put that scene with the randoms attacking the base in episode 2. Didn't really like the Mine scene why would they be ok with her shooting her gun drawing attention to the base. |
Duri1n said: Next, r the bad guys really so obviously evil... every bad guy so far has been portrayed as absolutely disgustingly bad... it's just making things way too simple... it's still early tho, so I'll be waiting for the next episodes to show some better bad guys (the next one looks promising?)... tho the main antagonist (the minister) doesnt look like he's that great a bad guy -_-... Another thig, Mein's annoying... was that really her full backstory? it's so... shallow... I dont like her reasons for joining night raid either... they sound childish... n no, not impressed by her gun... it feels totally out of place in this medieval-ish setting, but I wont dwell on that point since meh... there's plenty of anime-ish reasons to explain that weapon. Finally... that last fight was horrible -_-... master martial artist being held down by someone grabbin his waist... that was just... lame... it would've been fine if Mein had quickly shot him right after he was pinned down by Tatsumi, but NO, there was this long-ass inspiring speech about trust, and the master looked like a noob just hitting Tatsumi's back... I WANT this anime to be good, but seriously, I CAN'T take it seriously if they give me scenes like that last one... You should blame the original story in the manga then.. This isn't an original anime that White Fox just randomly created. |
| I think it was a fine episode. I really liked Mine. |
| This episode confirms Mine as best girl. After you kill her? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) http://i.imgur.com/3zzuEIx.jpg ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) http://i.imgur.com/tIafPWr Tsundere loli ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) http://i.imgur.com/Pv1xJwl NTR much? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) http://i.imgur.com/Dv2xfEM ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) http://i.imgur.com/T8wh1rR |

| I'm loving this anime more and more....good action this episode and i holding myself from reading the manga |
| this show is really nothing special so far.. don't see all the hype behind it. - action scenes aren't that great, lots of stills and night raid is overpowered compared to all the scrubs they run into. - bunch of fanservice that reminds me of some stupid shows like zero no tsukaima - bad mix of comedy and dark moments - .. |

skudoops said: Naruto's setting as a war torn land is handled a lot better than this brutalist, sadist infested haven of capital. Bleach's turf war is a good enough excuse for cockfights.T3hSource said: @Duri1n Don't bother, it's a battle shounen pretending to have a "dark seinen" setting What's wrong with this exactly? You keep complaining about this in every thread but I don't see anything wrong with this. Who cares if it's a dark setting, do you want another naruto or bleach or something? The brutality and awful things that are shown to us for "context" are just mentioned, used for shock value and nothing more(aka EDGY). Such things aren't just thrown in for the sake of having them. They should be handled with care and seriousness. Such an unforgiving corrupt world where "only the elite live well and everybody else is in slums" should be pretty fucking oppressing via atmosphere and our main cast. The colors should be dampened and have a lot grit as well. The streets should look dirty unclean, people wouldn't be happy go lucky, especially NOT our main cast. They shouldn't be so vibrantly colorful, nor be this plain and archetypical to battle shounen standards. The world is trying to mimic Berserk's and for a more relevant comparison: Dark Souls-esc. Then we have the cartoonishly evil villains who are either sadists, brutalists or rapists, making some quite stupid binary morality. That is not how you portray your "dark" setting. Morality should be non existent, nobody's good, nobody's bad, everyone just wants to live. That is what I expect from a supposedly exploited, corrupt, fallen world. Yet it's just an excuse for tragic backstories and stupidly evil villains(and yes, I know this is remedied later). Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post and response to it. |

| This episode was like a Zero no Tsukaima episode :I...Dont think Imperial City is in that bad of a condition,it seems like an ordinary modern age country with a dictatorship |
 |
| Solid episode. Seeing Mine's past was pretty tragic, but it's good to see she's bound and determined to win. The crucifixion part wasn't near as graphic as the manga version, people's legs were gone. But still, a very gripping moment. It showed how extreme the tyranny of the capital really is. F*ck that Minister. My only issue is how Tatsumi is able to hold that guy. He's a grown ass man. He could lift Tatsumi if he wanted to. It just looked awkward in this scene. I'm really looking forward to next week, it's quite the fight. First time we see Teigu vs. Teigu. |
| Overall a nice episode. That "walking in" was unnecessary (not that i mind seeing Mine there..), got enough MC's that don't know how to knock. Though often simply locking would also help, especially with bathrooms. Nice how Tatsumi simply let go of his sword, but his idea of simply holding that guy was stupid. How about punching him in the stomach or groin? It only worked that way because that guy was too busy hammering at Tatsumis back (with rather weak blows apparently) instead of breaking Tatsumis nose with his knee or letting himself fall, so he is both out of the way of Mine's shot, and can throw Tatsumi off - maybe even on Mine, given that she was behind that guy. For a "master", he sure was stupid. |
| That Koukenji master who dodges bullets but can't seem to get rid of a kid who grabbed him also made me chuckle in the manga. |

| I think Mine may become one of my favorite characters. That face when she got flicked in the head xD. Amazing third episode. These go by too fast. |
| The animation and art is so fucking bad for something made in 2014. I love the manga and the first 2 episodes art and animation weren't so bad but man... That was bad. Regret giving it a 4/5 Dropping down to 2/5 |
"Hi!" |

| Anyway, on a side note, the best anime/manga reviewer on Youtube imo did a review of this episode, and it amazes me to see how he can easily pick up on all the things me and all of the other fans here have been trying to point out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuGoiM7TEiw Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post and response to it. |

AnimageNeby said: Oh, the main cast are shown in a sympathetic light and always have a righteous cause for murdering. Yet again, the show pretends to be "dark" and have "gray morality" and its as binary as they come. Our hero mercifully kills a pretty woman, a villain would unapologetically rape and torture his victims for days. Gee, I wonder who's on the "good" side.One could also argue he has high morals and ethics, but...you know, he killed her. It's doubtful she preferred to be killed above being fucked. And one can hardly argue it's better to kill than to fuck, morally. They are an assassin squad, hiring new members to the revolution's cause is not their care. (not like it matter anyways, just enjoy the blood and mook slaying) |

| High level amusement. Way to go! ^^ |
