Also Ittou Shura remove physical limitation on him and boost his endurance and power. He also have after effect and succumb to injury once more after his skill wear off with extra fatigue on him.NeoAnkara said: That still doesn't make sense to me. If it was just a weak attack which didn't cause a lot of damage, then yeah I could understand it. But regardless of what the numbers may say, the fact of the matter is he evidentially got really badly hurt or he wouldn't have ended up losing that much blood. You're looking at the cause, not the effect. If you get that badly hurt, then you're in trouble. It doesn't matter how or why that injury may have been sustained; you'll still be just as badly hurtHis general output of power is low to begin with (ranked E). You can see the example at the beginning when Ikki watch video on his laptop. Even a girl can take several shot from him and still standing. Ikki of course can take more of it. |

| Okay.. so this was the hyped stuff? A cartoonishly over the top battle with a really lame villian that takes itself way too seriously, some shitty backstory for FEELS and the obligatory NANI HOW CAN THE WEAKEST DEFEAT ME; THE GENIUS asspull. And this is what makes Cavalry different from the rest? MC also gained one relationship, but I am sure there will be lots of "funny" harem and fanservice situations afterwards that will basically result in the same tired narrative. So yeah, it's a bit different but that doesn't necessarily make it better. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Hohoho who's the villain of the week? A shitty bully character on par with accel world's terrible 2nd villain? Great writing. Hey let's show the shots clearly piercing through, hey let's show how his thighs are getting pierced, hey let's show how he's having trouble standing. >5 minutes later he's dodging arrows moving at speed of light because Orihime generic pink hair fire girls wants to bone him Yeah fuck you too show |

| Also a little bit about Shizuku here. The reason of her love for Ikki in the first place is because of how other treat him and how he treat her. As children the only one that show human aspect to her is only Ikki. He is the only one who praise her when she did great and scold her when she make mistake. So when she learn what Ikki get through she is convinced that the only one that can understand Ikki is only herself. When she see Stella word of encouragement to Ikki she now realize that Stella know Ikki better than she is. That's why she withdraw when Stella meet Ikki and leave them alone. She feel that as long as it's someone that can understand Ikki and don't cause harm to him she will leave it in her hand. |

| Haha :) My goodness, am I slow. Since this episode was near-universally well-received by the anime fans, I finally realized: The Worthless Whiner Weenies (WWW) who dump on _every_ show in _every_ thread for _whatever_ reason are all friends with each other. The Nidhoeggrs, Reialgos and rest of the pack tend to come to drop off their neverchanging bile at the same time. Clearly no coincidence. And you're clearly no anime fans - otherwise you wouldn't continue to watch shows you hate. It's just a pretext to do what you're REALLY after: Insulting the anime fans and getting a kick out of your trolling. What a sad crew of losers... |
| I thought the fight was okay. It looked like an arrow went through Ikki's heart. I guess not... The crowd chanting made me shake my head. Weakest part about this show is the villains and the obnoxious fanservice. |

I understand the point Nidhoeggr tries to get into but I think he sets the bar way too high by expecting the next Pulp Fiction animated. If I rationalize every aspect of the show, I will lose interest. By looking at his comments, he's already reaching a very high level of frustration. About 90% of animes are canned shit that sells fanservice. Either you deal with it (shouganai) or find another medium of entertainment that rescue your enjoyment. That's how Anime Industry works, that's what sells in Japan. I can give just 2 or 3 animes in my mind that I think is memorable. By looking at his anime list I presume he has around late 20s or 30s years. Perfectly normal to be more critic when looking at something, but I think if you keep rationalizing every aspect of the anime you wlll end up hating everything. So the best approach would be quit watching anime and look for a very mature series. Unless you are a masochist type. |

| Nah, it only didn't occur to me before to cross-check these guys. Only now, when the show had 7 "average or worse" votes out of 200, it was quite obvious when there were 4 downvotes within a few minutes. Hilarious to check their friend-connections, and lo and behold - many other names which have _also_ proven to be whiny trolls all showed up, as well. Can't believe it took me so long to notice it. |

Epir said: Drake1000 said: Generic bully villain gets rekt by generic MC, yay. Haha ikr *spoiler for Asterisk* What? How can that be? Are they actually using the same plot points and just call it a different show? No way the superior story telling of magical highschool light novels would stoop that low! Good think our main character got reminded that the tsundere girl believes in him. Who cares about the 3L blood he lost before that anyway. What a creative "arrogant one dimensional bully loses to supposedly weak main character" type story. Bully be like "bakana!" It sure is hard to please your average anime fan... B-but don't misunderstand me. It's not like I hate this show b-baka. At least the final scene was okay...and the little sister character wasn't as full on trash as in the previous episodes. |

Obviously the show deserves a 9/10 so far and is only below the 8.00 rating because of the blind hater anime mafia that doesn't appreciate quality anime. It's all a conspiracy! That's the only explanation indeed. The only way to escape the blind hater mafia is to ignore any friend request Nidhoeggr sends you! Otherwhise you'll be taken in by them and have to rate masterpieces like this lower than they deserrrveeeee. Because everyone that doesn't like the show I like is either a troll or a blind hater. What a cruel world indeed. Please spare me anime mafia. |

| Man, stella fan service just murders me every-time more and more... Fuck I don't even know why i like her at this point, i just do. She's still getting in the way of me judging this show fair, fanservice is op sometimes. hnnggg. Perhapsthatsforthebest. ...Anyway. Uh, good episode i guess. While i can understand the complaints about him surviving that, I've seen hilariously much worse so while watching it, i just glossed over it accidentally. I'm immune to it at this point...lol And yes, the confession and scream by Stella were lovely, and I actually enjoyed the fact about her missing that he's never 'sure' of his battles. Was an interesting bit of character interactions i just glossed over, and when Stella kind of realized it I felt the same feelings as her. :/ |

| Well then. Best episode I've seen from this series so far! Those action scenes were golden! Sure hope they keep doing things like this.. That Kirihara's face when he about to lose was so priceless! (5/5) I will not compare this series with Asterisk anymore, because Rakudai is proven to be much much better than that.. forgotten series. |

| The satisfaction I got from watching this episode was so high! Damn Kirihara Get Rekt |

Enough for you to bounce back for another round, also pre-screening doesn't change the actual writing especially when the shit was in the LN~ It is funny to see you use skype commands on a forum with BBCode though BTW Is trashing this LN really worthless when 2/3 reviews on the front page also slam it? |

| Daaaaamn. Another MC with a functioning brain. Love this so far. A bit too much fan service here and there but w/e. Silver Link OP. Love them more and more lately~ |

| Intense and very good IMO. 5/5 |
 |
| Now that was a really really good episode. I'm so glad that this ins't a harem anime. Fight was awesome, kind of wanted him to almost kill Kirihara though. Also a really nice confession scene, 10/10. Kind of feels like the pacing is a bit fast though, but I have watched all 4 episodes in a row so not sure. |

Which you and your fellow weenies didn't know anything about in the first place. Heck, you recently even took pride in not having to know anything about the shows you diss in the first place :) Hey now, there was a manga out before the anime, which I read for, uh, "research for the oncoming storm". Furthermore, an adaption that requires the book to supplement it's goodness is a failed adaption. 2 of 3 reviews total, where all three reviewers admit that they haven't read the LN in the first place? Truly a damning indictment :) I seem to recall you shouting from the hills about Rakudai's "Universal acclaim" so yes, 2/3 is pretty damning Just pointing out that if you look at the episode review numbers, a lousy 3.5% are at "dislike" or worse, and if you assume that most of the WWW added their votes, the reception of the anime fans is almost universally positive. That's because most people reserve there scores until the show is uh, actually finished Hey, your detective skills are about as good as your keen review eye. I'm not even using Skype.

| Thank god this show didn't turn out to be another shitty harem series. Overall a great episode and fight. This is actually one of the better shows this season. |

Many people don't agree with anything at this point in time. Most people wont post reviews of the show til its done and the small amount of "helpful" votes are skewed because of the lack people people looking at said reviews at the moment and yours being first up ;P From the voting in this thread and the episode reviews on reddit on the anime and japanese anime subs, most viewers seem to be enjoying it, especially as of episode 4. It remains to be seen how the show does in sales and as the season continues, but being rated at 1500th place as of episode 4 is actually quite a good spot to be sitting. It means people are still keeping up with it enough that the score could improve greatly by the end (or plummet). Edit: Also, looking at your review, how are you adjusting individual ratings based on others? That's a terrible method. If the art is fantastic, you give it a fantastic score, you don't drop that one because other components (story/characters) are lower. That just screams of bias and an agenda. |
