JizzyHitler said: "Don't worry. I have no desire to engage your self-aggrandizing any further." Guess you didnt stay true to your own word yet again all i have to say to youre comment is that quit putting words in my mouth, i never said any of the things you mentioned especially since im one of the minority that enjoyed this episode. My opinions arent the objective truth, i never claimed for them to be and i never will, in your delusional mind you can interpenetrate what i say however you like, especially since in your delusions you still think im even talking about the show at all when im really talking about your behavior in this thread completely standalone devoid of its ties to flamenco or not Felt a need to respond to your accusations. And my behavior in this thread was that I made a sarcastic comment aimed at no one in particular that you chose to view as some personal insult (I guess) and fired one back at me. You said things about me that I think are untrue and apparently you feel the same way. Why you think that puts you in some kind of superior moral position is beyond me. Now, my first sarcastic comment had a very good reason, which I guess you'd rather ignore and turn this into a personal fight and I am not particularly interested in doing that, so if you actually want to know why I made it, read on: The first sarcastic comment came because I came to this thread after seeing the episode and all I saw was pointless bitching. This show hasn't changed one iota from last week to this. It had the same kind of action, the same kind of comedy, the same kind of drama. If this was just a series of regular guys in villain costumes and it ended with them in shackles each time instead of blowing themselves up no one would be complaining. Hence, for some reason, it is the essence of the supernatural itself that bothers people, and not the change it made to the show's tone. I defy you to argue that the tone of the show changed in the slightest. So basically it's a bunch of you saying "I wanted an SOL show and I'm not getting that and I'm mad." Which is fine. But that's an OPINION. That doesn't mean the writers are bad or that the show is conceptually flawed. It's just your own expectations of what it was going to be like weren't met. So just keep things in perspective and understand that you can dislike something without there being some objective underlying reason why it was wrong or bad or whatever. For crying out loud. This episode was solid, and it also acts as a setup. Clearly Hazama is becoming too comfortable with his position and he's beginning to forget what he once stood for. They are obviously going somewhere with this. Do you really think this will become a villain of the week Sentai action show? Why would you think that? If anything this show has proven that it isn't that predictable and besides, both the supposed original iteration of it being an SOL superhero show and this current supposed iteration of being an action show (I say supposed because I sensed no change at all in tone or style or essence) would have grown tiresome if they didn't change things up or did something more. tl;dr: If you don't like the twist, that's fine. But stop pretending that this show changed because it didn't. |

| "The look in his eyes scares me." Does this mean Samurai Flamenco is going to go to the dark side? Mari is annoying. She just wants to fight and gain attention. I really do hope she does lose interest in it. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| I still feel like this is going somewhere. The events and pacing of this episode made it seem like they're still setting up for something. |
| I somewhat enjoyed the plot anyway. |
 |
| And then Hazama dies and Goto becomes Samurai Flamenco. It could happen. I mean what do you people think? For 14 more episodes they're going to keep the exact same formula for each episode as episode 8? This isn't power rangers. |

I mean what do you people think? For 14 more episodes they're going to keep the exact same formula for each episode as episode 8? This isn't power rangers. honestly at the rate things are going i think king torture will probably be defeated by.....possibly next episode or the one after |

| I think these last two episodes were better than the previous ones. They weren't quite as ambling and actually seem to be pushing a message, the show is establishing themes. Well, I've already said my piece on how this "change" should have been expected by the viewers and was well-executed by the creators. IMO, most of the complaining here is mainly just people either being irrational or not having any idea how to create stories. |
| Let's go bowling. |
| Well was a bit skeptical at Ep 7 and thought maybe it was part of a film.. but after this episode 8 its safe to say the show just went full retard. I think that adding the supernatural stuff to the first 6 episode's story that was mainly grounded to typical reality (life) is possible. But they thoroughly messed up Samurai Flamenco's story when they tried adding super natural into it. They did it the wrong way and it was way to fast. It escalated quickly. They jumped the gun. Just as the story went bad starting at the end of ep. 7, all other stuff in ep 8 and maybe on upcoming eps also might go bad i.e. the animation quality, pacing of the story etc. On ep. 8 it looked like Original Flamenco girl had a wardrobe malfunction that shouldve showed her nipples but, she did not have any nipples o_o. I really liked the idea of the show with the first 6 episodes although it did resembled the Movie Kick-ass and Kick-ass 2. It might be on its way to the crappers but im still tuning in with the show since Im interested on knowing who's Goto's Girlfriend and who's King Torture. That aside, King Torture' seems to have the same voice as Kaname and or Masayoshi's Grandpa... and look at Kaname's reaction when someone called Masayoshi for help (Swing scene) HE IS KING TORTURE!!! lol :P. And whats up with the weird seemingly strong monsters that has LoL powers then get defeated pretty easily... And explode afterwards with no trace left. And where are the minions? when defeated they just lost conciousness why not capture them? they don't blow up! lol. |

| I do have a question for those who think it should have been MORE foreshadowed than it was... Wouldn't that have ruined the shock of the twist? I mean, if you have a crazy twist planned for the beginning of the second act of your story, are you really going to want to telegraph the twist and take away all the surprise? Or are you going to want to drop little hints and a lot of red herrings so that the twist blindsides the audience and makes their jaws drop, and then in retrospect they realize that all those little hints were there? I was pleasantly surprised at being surprised by this show. |

I was pleasantly surprised at being surprised by this show. Honestly, considering episode 8, I would barely call it a twist at all. Nothing happened. The show made the point of telling you that 2 months have passed and the world has pretty much accepted the existence of King Torture's minions. They just let the police deal with it and they cancelled the state of emergency because there are no casualties. The show actually changed LESS than I expected it to. I thought this episode would be about the shock of learning these creatures exist but no. Hazama is just working normally and occasionally fighting some monster. That doesn't even qualify as a twist to me. Just a surprising development. |

I was pleasantly surprised at being surprised by this show. I can see where you are going, honestly they actually 100% hit the ''Surprise'' part of the twist they added they really know how to surprise people!. Millions are probably wondering ''WTF?'' just happened and are very surprised with the plot twist at the same time. BUT they also 100% messed up the story at the same time and probably its now one of the member of the worst plot twist of all time club. I think people are having second thoughts regarding the show (maybe me too) its not because of the ''twist''... the surprise was perfectly executed, its because that twist was very weird, odd, and its on a different tangent that ruins the straight line (first 6 eps.) Its just like ambushing enemy Military Soldiers: When you ambush you need to create an element of Surprise at the same time have the capacity to execute what ever comes next. Mainly because theres no point ambushing your enemies when you can't kill them. Okay you might ''SURPRISE'' them on the first few minutes but instead of the ambushers killing the ambushed the incompetent ambusher's instead all get wiped out. You do Surprise them but still wind up failing the operation. Thats what they did, they got the !surprise! but at the same time messed up the lot. But ye its just my opinion maybe something is up! Still wondering who's Goto's GF and who impersonating KT. |

| This anime went from 'can't wait for next episode' to 'eh, might as well' in the past 2 episodes. Still expect some cool plot twists so not gonna drop it i think. |
| This is a completely different show now. |
neontaster said: I thought this episode would be about the shock of learning these creatures exist but no. Hazama is just working normally and occasionally fighting some monster. That doesn't even qualify as a twist to me. Just a surprising development. Same here. They are not treating it seriously at all, as if supernatural creatures are something normal or not so absurd or crazy. This why I think this ''twist'' is not legit and I don't think the show will continue this way. It will be really disappointing if this anime was just about a twist that turns a very good, earth grounding hero slice of life into a parody for Kaimen Rider or Power Rangers or w/e. That would be a colossal waste of potential IMO. |

I thought this episode would be about the shock of learning these creatures exist but no. Hazama is just working normally and occasionally fighting some monster. That doesn't even qualify as a twist to me. Just a surprising development. I would still call it a twist, because stuff did change, it's just very subtle. Samurai Flamenco and his allies have changed. The only person who didn't change was Goto, and that's because he seems to be the foil to Hazama. If you think about it, if monsters did suddenly appear and were appearing all the time, the shock of it would wear off relatively quickly. Especially if the casualties stopped happening and the danger seemed to be getting less every time. People would be shocked and amazed and scared at first, but then they would get used to it. And perhaps they would get used to it too quickly, and set themselves up for something really bad to happen, which seems to be the direction the show is hinting at. The show didn't abruptly change in tone or theme, and I appreciate that. It's still pretty grounded in reality, it's just introduced some (arguably) supernatural events. In fact, for all we know, it could have a "scientific" explanation, and not be supernatural at all. As I said earlier, the show was never "realistic". A realistic "hero of the real world" show wouldn't really work. Because real "superheroes" don't really do anything. And vigilantism doesn't really do anything. It works as a movie because a movie is much shorter than a 22 episode TV show. 10 episodes of Hazama lecturing purse-snatchers would not work. I really want to know where people expected this to go. Did they want the Batman route, where he fights drug dealers and the like? But how is that any more grounded in reality or original than super-villains and monsters? Did they really expect the joke of him thinking he's a hero but he's actually just fighting petty theft and littering to last for 22 episodes? I mean, after the fiftieth time he fights a purse-snatcher and talks about justice, wouldn't the freshness wear off? |

I can sense this is going somewhere and I'm really interested in seeing where they go. |

| What the hell...why... :( It was such a great show....that was pretty bad. Even the art was crappy, hope it will redeem itself. Will keep watching to find out who's Gotou's girlfriend xD |
| Oh god, talk about tor-ture, I barely crawled through this episode. I can't even begin to describe how terrible that was, the first time I've ever 1/5'd an anime episode. I think the main problem isn't that it went from realistic SOL style to action packed super heroes, but that it jumped into it rather than easing in properly. All of the characters were way too in character, none of it left an impact because they were all acting like monsters appearing out of nowhere was the norm. Hazama was barely taking on thugs with knives before and the following week he's beating up super powered monsters and chiming off cheesy superhero punch lines like it's all a game of justice? SF was standing at a strong 8 with the way it was going before, but 14 more episodes of this is a 3 at best. |

The thing is, the series had already been parodying and poking fun to begin with, but it abandoned that method completely this episode. It's like the past 6 episodes don't even exist now, the atmosphere and expectations they built up were completely crushed and flipped upside down. In other anime that's called lazy writing. Nevertheless, I haven't written off the series yet, but this episode in context to the rest of the series was torture. |

What expectations? What atmosphere? I'm so curious as to what people really expected of this show. I'll pose a similar question: If at the end of episode 7 instead of Guillotine Gorilla it was just some guy in a Gorilla suit representing a terrorist organization known as Torture, and then episode 8 was just them fighting a bunch of regular people in villain costumes, what would have been different, and would they have lamented the show's demise in that scenario? Because it is true that supernatural elements were entered into the show, but thus far it didn't have any effect that non supernatural enemies wouldn't have had. |

Litrydow said: What you said is completely true, I still think this show jumped the shark. I was referring solely to your 2nd paragraph. I'm referring more to the last episode, their initial reaction is what bothers me. I mean, I'd understand if it started out "KAPOW" and "hehehe I'm a villain and I'm going to be bad!", but they start off with some vivid and graphic executions, I wanted to at least see a bit more humanity from Goto/Hazama if it's going to go that far. StopDropAndBowl said: What expectations? What atmosphere? I'm so curious as to what people really expected of this show. Before watching it? Absolutely none. But the past 6 episodes (and most of the 7th) had a very slice of life feeling that showed the various antics and struggles of a grown man trying to hold onto the childhood fantasy of battling evil and serving justice in the face of reality. Bit by bit he was helping spread and overcome the idea that heroes can't exist and that the world can't be saved. I know better than to cast final judgement on the series when it's far from over, but I feel like the magic of that "fantasy in the face of reality" has been shattered. My problem isn't the change itself, but how quickly it occurred, almost as if it's now discarding what it was about before instead of transitioning into it. I mean at this rate, might as well say "Well King Torture is really Hazama's grandfather who obtained immortality from the Holy Grail. And now Hazama must go fetch Excalibur and battle Goto's girlfriend to the death." This scenario isn't any less bizarre than the end of episode 7. |

Bit by bit he was helping spread and overcome the idea that heroes can't exist and that the world can't be saved. But if you think about it, Samurai Flamenco episode 7-pre-Gorilla was a joke. He had become a mascot. He was accepted because he was harmless. When the police took him along to do actually serious crime-fighting, it was just to gain some press, and he wasn't going to have anything to do with it except to stand around and look pretty. He wasn't taken seriously as a hero, because he wasn't a hero. He was some dork in a suit that lectured purse-snatchers. At best he made people slightly more aware of their surroundings and had changed a few minds. Apparently the real criminals, drug dealers and criminal organizations, were running along just fine, completely unaffected by his presence and probably mostly unaware of him. He was about as useful as a guy in a Batman suit who goes to schools and tells kids to get good grades. Now if you really wanted a show that explores those themes in that way... well, that would be one dark show. It literally would have to end up with Hazama realizing that being a super-hero is childish and stupid and useless and putting everything down to continue with his life. Which would NOT fall in line with the tone and themes of the first six episodes. The show didn't change tone or theme in any meaningful way, which is what makes the complaints ironic. Everyone is criticizing it for changing so much when what they wanted would be an actual and radical break of tone and theme, rather than a natural development of the already existing tones and themes. |

| Well, seems you guys are still going at it. Although I was eager to see what would happen this episode, and I still am, but for future episodes, the overall enjoyment of the series went down. No one is going to catch this anime for what happened, vs the amount that caught onto it for its beginning. I was suspecting something like this was going to happen because of the Samurai Girls. Although I'm excited, these newer episodes are less fun to watch than the ones pre-7. Dropped a rank / 10. |

| In the OP Hazama wakes up from one of his henshin dreams (see OP for reference). Would or wouldn't be that considered a "twist" in the series, if we are actually seeing one of his dreams in late ep 7 through (possibly) 9. {Where the dream might finish as a nightmare=torture} |
Freshie said: Let it be known Episode 7 is where this series jumped the shark. I agree. It should have been presented as a (fantasy) sentai series from the beginning. Now I'm losing interest, but I will not drop it. I still hope to relate with the characters of the show like before the end of episode 7. |

Would or wouldn't be that considered a "twist" in the series, if we are actually seeing one of his dreams in late ep 7 through (possibly) 9. {Where the dream might finish as a nightmare=torture} I have come to terms with what the show has become which is why i enjoyed this episode a bit but this is the only thing that still urkes me that this is possibly a dream If it wasnt they could have just changed the op so that it removes him waking up from a dream, but it doesnt and isntead plays out like normal The biggest part about it, is in the dream hazama has his new outfit, his new outfit was given to him after the supernatural twist, yet when he wakes up from the dream his outfit in the closet is still his normal old one he had prior to the supernatural twist i think this is the series from now on out but if it does take the dream theory i think it will go like this the story will stay like this for about a ep or 2 more, probably until ep 11, and the dream will be averted when king torture is defeated(cause this ep makes it painfully obvious that guy aint lasting long), maybe king torture will fight in the giant mech from the start and once that fight ends hazama wakes up to the sound of his cell phone, its a call from his manager who yells at him that hes late for his final episode shoot I'm not too adamant about this happening so i really just advise to try and accept what its become no matter how bad the transitional execution was, cause this ep still had some clever jokes, and people are taking this shit was too seriously cause this ep was all comedy aside from possibly the very very very end |

I dare say none of this episode had anything remotely serious in it aside from possibly the last minute hinting that hazama is getting too used to things and again, mark my words, king torture wont last another 2 episodes |

I guess there was too many different solo scenes for a dream twist and too many references to the past for a movie twist. And it doesn't feel like pure symbolism, either. Seems it's actually happening, but why the hell would you do that? At least it's different, I guess. |
| So many people hating on the show ... I personally like the turn it's taken. I didn't see how they could drag an anime version of Kick-Ass through two seasons, it really needed an epic turn into something different. Also not sure why anyone thought this was just a one-cour series, doesn't anyone pay attention to the numbers on the list as they click +1 episode? |
| I lol'ed at all this hate. MAL has a long way to go... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Another joke that people completely missed cause they didnt realize this is a parody The villains name is king torture.....all the villains are in bondage gear |

| What da' heck is going on ? It was pretty cool until these last 2 episodes... I'll wait for the 9th one and... see if i continue or not. |

| How come this went from my favorite anime this season to the one on the verge of dropping. This is sad. |

| Glad it's still light like before and not forcefully dark like Madoka. So, basically, the evil people are..Humans in disguise that blow up after being defeated? It seems like the prime minister has to do with it. |
