----------------------------------------
The yuri vibes of this show...

Also, couldn't take Justice's opponents seriously at all because of that mad scientist.

Meanwhile, I guess the action was alright. JC Staff still maintaining their budget. Also, Shekar (the miko girl) becoming more relevant? Idk how to feel about Izzy still, she's still got a lot of conflicted thoughts about the recent events. God damn, Justice's childhood friend Touko....she just can't keep her hands off of him, can she? Lol. BB is kinda awesome I guess..

BB is such a badass, definitely the best character next to Il for me (Which by the way I love how she has a canon yuri relationship with the Arya). It seems like using the triggerless tattoo somehow drains your life force? Which that means that Seigi is going to end up losing his life the more he uses his power?

It feels like they skipped an episode.

Okay, so BB is training Seigi. They infiltrate a research facility headed by some crazed scientist who does JoJo poses named Mr. Genius.

Princess Aryabhata is trying to use the tattoo ruins as an engine to "rewrite the world"? She's claimed 2 of the 4 ruins, or something.

Bluesy has a history with BB, and seems to have strong feelings for him.

Did Touko confess to Seigi? And did he reluctantly accept?

What a mess, but not terrible.

Well I loved the Touko scene near the end, but the rest was kinda boring. So Izzy loves this BB guy? And he's training Seigi? Well...I think I'll drop this here. It's not terrible, but it is starting to give off Big Order vibes. Plus I'm watching enough this season already. And if the spoiler I read was true my enjoyment of this will decrease as it goes on.



So yeah, better to drop this now and get it out of the way. 5/10

Not much action/(taking forever to see main char doing something actually) Well i guess this episode is worth an 3~4/10

Half of the episodes and story is meh.. We're wasting each episode with the explanation of each power of each tattoo... .

Main character development until half of the anime is truly bad.
Each episode new char development while we don;t even see other char playing as the anime is progressing ...

As the manga/anime is doing the progress we're gonna end up into 11 episode to see actually some action from the main char that right now is playing hide and seek.

Much better than the previous episode, it wasn't something amazing, but at least the pace was more stable. I like BB, he is an steroetypical, badass character, but he is still cool. Too bad he will probably die considering the comments about him dying right now. And also he is Seigi's mentor now... total deathflag.

We also know the princess want to fuse with the tattoos or something like that to manipulate the world toher desires. That mad scientist was cliche as fuck, but it was funny still.

I've been dissapointed with Touko so far. It seems she would be important after obtained the tattoo, but so far she hasn't doing anything important apart of being Seigi's childhood friend. Maybe she has some important role later.

Man, talk about so much Fate vibes off this episode. Well, I mean I'm at the point where I'm just going through the motions of watching this show just to laugh at how bad it is. I mean the only redeeming factor was BB who is basically the poor man's Shirou Emiya. Anyways, aside from the animation of the action and the soundtrack, I can find nothing really good to say about this anymore lol. Onwards to next week.

It was an okay episode, Not too interesting.
The Yuri scenes however are the real deal, Arya ftw. XD

So Arya wants to change the world? Why and what does she want to change it too are the questions I hope will be answered.
She has to remove her clothes to control that ruin? Well I'm not complaining. :P

BB seems like an awesome guy, Though there's way too many death flags for him. Especially given how Seigi's already become attached to BB only increases the chances.
Izzy seems to like BB. Alright.

The Touko scene at the end was funny but lately all she's done is say that she wants to be by Seigi's side. Wonder if she'll play a more prominent role later on?

Introducing an op character BB who has the same Jumon as Seigi, well there is a total of 4 same Jumon. The death flag for Touko is obvious.

I felt the same way. I'm not clear who this BB dude is. But that's ok...what really confuses me is how he has the same tattoo power thingee as the MC. I thought his tattoo was totally unique and doesn't need a key...blah blah blah. But there are 3 others just like it or something? Ugh......

Now i think that the great fights animations from first episodes were just bait. Feels like they tried to put so much stuff in one episode so the transitions between the scenes are pretty bad. 6 episodes left, i hope there'll be something interesting, mb even a little bit.

It's clear where the mangaka drew inspiration from, Izzy is supposed to be Saber I guess, which is depressing on a lot of levels.

There is no redeeming factor to this show for me, but the director for this has actually worked on some good shows. This project was probably taken on to pay off gambling debts or because of alcohol/drug addiction.

It's some shit that everything relating to "The Kingdom" seems to be more coherent, more enjoyable and the characters more likeable. BB and Touka are raising their deathflags, feel free to take Izzy alongside them.

I dont know where all the hate comes from.
Is it a masterpiece? Clearly not.
But is it enjoyable? Yes!
The first 4 eps were pretty good imo. 5 was shit but 6 was better.

The animation is pretty nice imo.
Music is also ok.
Story is no Steins;Gate yes.
But its fun. I like the yuri parts way more then all the blushing ecchi beach-episode shit from other anime.

Whoever is directing this is doing a very poor job. It's all over the place, the daft ass pulls dont help like oh here's a pill so we can add to your tattoos powers. It was pretty dull this week, only Touko saved it from being a total waste but a do sense a death flag at the end.

It just feels it getting worse ever week.

Wait... how did this happen? Where are they? Whats going on? How did we even get here?

Before I got finished questioning these things, the princess was on top of the other girl being lewd, and all I could think of was Big Order and gave up trying too understand this. That's all this is starting too look like, a crazier Big Order on a bigger budget. Trash with a little febreeze is just better smelling trash.

On that note, I doubt anyone can, but if your able too, can someone please explain too me the point in main dudes best friend climbing on top of him while he was sleep like that at the end? That was some of the most completely pointless and out of place fan service I have ever witnessed. Also, her smile at the end was ugly.

This was just too many events for one episode.

I understand this show uses fan service for humor, princess Aryabhata is lewd just for humor sake,
but Toko's action were just completely random.
She says something about a woman's shame, mounts Seigi, then gets embarrassed about it.
There was no reason for it; Out of character; It's clear she has a crush on Seigi, but what prompts her to do that?

In my opinion, this anime would of been 10× better if BB was the mc, rather than this generic feebleminded middleschooler. I mean if the writer was able to create such a unique clever badass, then why was he not able to make an mc who's also like that. Ik most animes tend to do this, but this anime in particular would of really suited a character like BB as the main hero protag., no not even, perhaps as a main mercenary protag. Or perhaps the mc could of been someone like Allucard from hellsing (discluding the guns and few specific traits). Point is, this anime had potential, but all we see.. is its animation. In fact, it's one of the reasons why the show is popular, alongside it's fan-service and hints of yuri. It's the main reason why im still watching it lol. However, it's the only thing most people give a damn about in general haha. Yes it's okay to watch like shows like these, but it shouldn't be ranked higher than Tales of Zetiria, Mob Psycho-100, or Alderamin of the Sky on kissanime! It's already bad enough that Masou Gakuen HxH is rank 2 in New & Hot, which is simply.. actually nvm I just can't.
