| Maki can "destroy" me anytime. She's literally hot, cute, funny and that mid-section, tho. Then we got the rival and an upcoming torunament, oh boy, I'm sold. I also liked that this episode already managed to get me emotionally invested and not to mention the crazyterious guy lurking around. There is so much potential. Really awesome overall. |

Archer123 said: Ten said: it's only been two episodes, In order to truly witness the brilliant character development and too witness their cohesiveness as a team improve you have to give it time. You don't pluck out a flower until its fully bloomed otherwise you don't get truly experience the beauty of said flower. However from your comment am I correct to assume that you crave action and just actionWhat's up with all these long awkward pauses? It was even worse than the first episode, boring characters and boring overall, definitely not my cup of tea. I'm not interested in these characters, that's all. Usually 2 episodes is enough to find at least one character you'd want to follow even through an average journey. I know what character development is but in this case I already couldn't care less. And you're wrong in your assumption, I found action scenes here to be boring too. The way it is now, it looks like typical shounen with lots of fire fights to follow, if I wanted action I'd stayed for that but the show failed to capture my attention with basically everything. You can defend it all you want but it just means you're the target audience and I'm not. Nothing wrong with that. |
| Good episode. Boyle appears, him and Shinra are "friends". Liked the interaction between them. Damn Maki is strong this episode, and cameo of Joker that taking joke too far. To the next episode. |
 |
| So the rival is basically a chuuni who thinks he's a knight? I didn't saw that comming, but was funny anyway. I also can't take anything named "Excalibur" seriously in a work of the author of Soul Eater. Maki is wonderful. The nun is cute too, but so far, Maki looks like best girl. Gotta wait till the scantily-clad girl who can turn into a fire cat girl is introduced to properly judge. |

| Why excalibur? XD One thing with which associate this name is :  |

Fappa said: That entire scene with the father sitting at the table with his head bursting in flames was so unsettling and so well done. Muted colours, barely any light and pure silence, what an atmosphere especially when the execution happened. If most of the encounters are of this quality then ho boy! This episode even more so than the first one was just dripping Shaft aesthetics left & right. Really like how this makes for a more ominous world & overall vibe which surprisingly clashes quite well with the quirky character moments. Yeah, this episode execution-wise is much better than episode 1 despite lack of action scene. The later emotional part is done really well. Doonu why it has much lower "love it" than last episode, guess Mal really only care about action :/ |
Ten said: What's up with all these long awkward pauses? It was even worse than the first episode, boring characters and boring overall, definitely not my cup of tea. Long awkward pauses (laugh) What if I say it's used to convey emotion and it's done very well? And if you don't like nice characters, this is probably not a serie for you, so cya. |

Another mindless battle shounen joins the circus. I'm getting too old for these kindergarden bullshits. And have Ace as your avator :P Suree... |

| They're cutting minor things, don't know why anyone is complaining. The directing and animation is really great... |

Agreed. So glad those mindless Mal users are not producers of any anime medium, or the anime industry is bound to doom. |

RayReynolds said: I can not believe how much they have tried to make the anime much better than manga. Call me a damn jealous but this manga did not deserve such an incredibly good production, I would prefer a thousand times to give it to berserk. Seriously I could hardly read 10 chapters, it was so boring, predictable and the characters are trash. Not saying the story is anything to write home at, but saying characters are trash when the anime literally did the same thing for the characters? That's super wierd. So apparently as long as animation / visual is good, characters automatically become good to you? I don't understand your logic whatsoever. For me characters are probably the best saving grace for the serie as a whole. Story is the weak part. |

That whatever they tried to convey it didn't reach me? And it could be done better. The characters might be nice but nothing special. A serie not for me? lol. That's exactly what I said and I already dropped it, no need to be so salty. |
| This show is becoming so very shounen. Not that it's a bad thing. That new guy (Arthur probably) is also your typical rival/friend character most shounen has. Maki is such a badass girl btw. |
 |
| I haven't read the manga yet so I have nothing to compare the show to, but I'm enjoying it so far. The premise seems interesting and the characters are, well, likeable. Maki sweeping the floor with the boys was fun to watch tho. This also needs to be said: seeing the infernal sitting so calmly like that felt really upsetting and so different from the previous episode with that violent outbreak. Well executed! It may not be a groundbreaking series. Maybe it's just another shounen. But god damn it I want to watch more episodes and see it for myself! |
| ☆ |
| I'm someone who's usually tired of shounen battle anime but, for now anyway, seems like i've finally found something good. (last shounen i thought was good being my hero academia) |
 |
| Maki sure can stand her ground against two third generation ability users. She's amazing. Animation is still great. This week was introducing Shinra's rival, but also a very emotional episode about what Infernals leave behind. Family, Friends. The scene inside the house with the dad just sitting there peacefully, was just making me silent. Like he was just sitting there, knowing his fate and accepting it. That's tough, especially on the daughter. It's good that the rookies learn the emotional side of doing this job. |

Archer123 said: firstly the reason they fought was to see their affinity in combat against a skilled adversary that of which being Maki and to evaluate their cohesiveness as a team as both of them are third generational fire soldiers and lastly the reason Arthur and shinra were going to fight is because of their previous rivalry in the academy. I'm starting to think that you didn't focus or even watch the episode properly Sorry, it seems in editing my text I ended up deleting some important information. I wasn't talking about their fight in this episode, that made sense. I was talking about the upcoming tournament that's going to start next episode. We all know that soon there will be new kinds of powerful infernals and everything will devolve into a regular battle shonen, but at this point in time it seems that's not the case. These people are just glorified firemen at this point. And the new duo is fresh out of the academy, where they probably have already had their aptitude tested. Why organize a tournament then? For plot convenience, most likely, but I could be wrong. Have you ever heard of real life police organizing tournaments to determine the strongest policeman in the country? The one who can tackle or shoot the most criminals? No, cause that has nothing to do with their jobs. Shooting practice, yes. Field exercises, yes. But not tournments of 1 on 1 matches. |
| I really hope it gets better when Tamaki joins looking forward to her so far its been really boring sadly. |
 |
| So people are complaining about a shounen being...a shounen. Uhh, ok. xD I love shounens so for me personally, I'm enjoying this. I really don't care if it's generic as long as it's executed well. |
 |
| I actually can't believe people think this is a run of the mill shounen. Sure, reading the manga by itself may give off that impression, but the anime adaptation isn't like that. Thanks to Shaft, there is Depth. Atmosphere. Emotion. The directing and theme they're taking with this adaptation just makes the source a thousand times better. It feels real, unlike the actual generic shounen anime out there that don't even bother with this extent of personality. |

Archer123 said: That's just an excuse for bad writing. You can't just brush off all criticisms by saying that it's fantasy and therefore anything can happen, that's silly. Even fantasy/fiction works need some degree of logic and internal consistency. Unless it's something surreal, like Alice in Wonderland, real world logic should still apply.bro I think you're forgetting that it's a ANIME set in a FANTASY WORLD it isn't supposed to be realistic But again, the episode hasn't even aired yet. I might be wrong and there could be a logical explanation for the tournament, who know? |
| The ED for this series is fire, apart from the kinky nuns, fire (excuse the pun). But damn though, I felt that episode, that father holding it in, waiting for his daughter. It's too much Its shaping up to be a good wat h, but I shouldn't hope for too much since I really didnt like soul eater... but hey, who's to say? |
 |
| Not a fan of this episodes, I found the direction much worse than the the first, it was all over the place and it had no structure it as just a succession of scene : it was just "this happen then that happen". Not sure if I make any sense, it's hard to put it into word but this episode was just jarring to me. Also why are the character looking directly at the camera so much ?? It know it's just a shonen and I shouldn't be thinking too much about it but it make little sense to make the fire fighter fight each other. They're nit martial artist, their power re just too deadly, what would have happen if that knight guy landed a hit on Maki ? She would just get fucking cut in half, and as someone else said their ability seems to be very different from the infernal so it's not even a good training. I have to admit that the scene with the infernal was pretty good, and I'm not into muscle girl usually but Maki has been great so far. I'll keep watching but I have pretty low expectation after this episode. |
| Yeah liked the 2nd episode better too. How the show is framing the infernal as partial victims reminds me how Demon Slayer did with it's demons. Similarly I imagine there is either a man made or unnatural origin behind the sudden combustion epidemic which may have been involved in Shinra's incident. Maki was pretty cool and show off that while the 3rd gen are powerful than 2nd gen overall, it's not sure thing that former will win against the later. Authur is kind of annoying but he got a bit better towards the end. |
| Another great episode. Maki is badass! |
| I'm starting to like this series and this episode was better than the previous one. So we have a knight that uses a plasma cutter, a devil that can generate flames, and a witch that can manipulate the flames. The Lieutenant and Captain seem to use a variety of weapons to combat and protect themselves from the Infernals. I liked how the Captain pulled Arthur and Shinra to the side and explained to them why they are not allowed to show their weapons in public. Arthur and Shinra may act as rivals, but I see them as brothers when they were telling each other to go to sleep. Maki has potential to become best girl of the season. |

ovo4 said: I don't know how to add the spoiler tag but I'll just say it from now; the tournament isn't a 1v1 match up. It's literally just an aptitude test to see how good they are. It's not really fighting against each other. Please at least wait until the tournament takes place before making your judgements. AnotherGuy said: ...But again, the episode hasn't even aired yet. I might be wrong and there could be a logical explanation for the tournament, who knows? You're right, as I said in a comment later ^^^ we don't know the details yet. If it is as you said then it does make more sense. Those were just conjectures based on what they said about a tournament and my personal experience with other shonen. By the way, [ spoiler ] text [ / spoiler ] (without the spaces) is how you use spoiler tags. |
| random pauses makes it really awkward and Maki is total babe i mean badass |
 |
| MAKI IS FUCKING BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE |
   |
| damn i don't remember soul eater being this top i mean that may be because i never watched soul eater, but that's neither here nor there |
| Great episode, damn Maki soo badass. |
| Also i noticed the Jojo influence in this directing and i love it. |
| Knight King....this show is for kids. Besides that I like the titbit of why they shouldn't walk around with their expose weapons. I like the code of honor. It explains why they pray for everyone they kill. |
| I got a Masters degree. I don't have to worry bout school anymore. |

Sums up my impressions of this episode. Maki's the best but sister isn't half bad too. XD The scene with Shinra and Arthur are really funny. What really got me this episode was when they walked into the house to find the father turned infernal just sitting there waiting for his death. I wonder what kind of willpower it took for the father to not go berserk because he didn't want to harm his daughter. :( |

| Man I am really enjoying this series. I am loving Maki each week! Shinra I love and Arthur is tolerable which is a surprise in my eyes. |

| I don't like Arthur, he is one cocky bastard! And also I felt his rivalry with Shinra was just thrown in without a second guess, it didn't fit in and doesn't have that spark! Just because a series is a superpower shounen, it doesn't have to contain things as such this because they're deemed necessary. |
