| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Perhaps Schaal can understand Hank better now after knowing what he's been through. It's also obvious that the past continues to haunt Hank. Looks like we got some mystery and investigation this episode. At this point, I'm not surprised at the type of monsters that shows up in the series. Hell, even a gargoyle is very possible. I'm still disappointed by Schaal's role though. If it wasn't for the others, that could of ended badly for her. Fierce battle this episode. This episode is really pushing Hank to his limits. I don't like Schaal in this show still as she feels kinda like a burden now. Up to Hank to save her next time I guess. |

| So Hank had to deal with another incarnate, a gargoyle, in this episode. So those bullets are called Goldkiller bullet. |
 |
| So now we have the Gargoyle and his twisted sense of justice where he is the judge, jury, and executioner. I kinda of figured that Cain would use the Gargoyle incarnate as bait to lure and wound Hank. I think Schaal will change her tune in the next episode since she has been captured by the Spider incarnate. I also enjoyed the little bit of fan service when Andy pulled down Liza's blouse. The military seems to be making their move and Cain is going to throw his big party so I can't wait to see what happens next week. |

| Lmao based kid also Schaal is just Elaine with purple hair. Looks like shits about to go down |
 |
| Poor Schaal....Cain seems like a scary kidnapper, but I guess she has to snap outta being a damsel in distress at some point seems like Hank is beginning to care her a bit |
| Pretty dull episode this time around, to be frankly honest. Character interactions was fairly bland this episode and some of the character drawings were slightly distorted. Moreover, no empathy for the beast this time or the little boy really but it’s good to see Cain finally taking action. Interesting form of invitation there through kidnapping Schaal, just when the two were getting to understand and care for each other. I didn’t expect the spider woman to join Cain’s side though. Anyway, that pulling down blouse scene was crazy hilarious, I’m sure many people were hoping for something like this beforehand and here we go xD. Here’s to hoping things will only get better from here onwards. |

| Ok, maybe Schaal's redemption in the end of the anime will be awesome and stuff but the problem is...she was useless and in the only moment she could have done smething, she hesitated...in this episode she was just a trigger to make Hank reminds and get sad of Elaine...the anime is interesting to watch but c'mon, this girl needs to stop "looking for an answer" and wake up to the reality... Btw the fan service scene with Andy boy pulling down Liza's blouse (am I the only one who looks at her and think about Hitomi Tanaka?) made me remind of a movie (I know that's maybe not a thing to this community): Breathless (À bout de souffle, 1961) when the protagonist just get out of a taxi to pull up a girl's random dress in the sidewalk... Anyway, back to animes...now Schaal is something: The Kidnapped one, waiting for a rescue...so apparently the next episode wont be "monster of the week" but maybe "first meeting with the final boss" one. Let's see! |

Let's see! Yeah I was going to complain how I expected more out of Schaal in this anime but looks like you beat me too it. She has refused to shoot her gun multiple times and she now becomes the damsel in distress. Honestly I would not be surprised if she is killed in the next episode. However if the trope in this anime is continued she'll be spared and Cain will get away until things are resolved later in the series. |

| Sorry about that, mate...but it's worse because her bullet CAN'T KILL but even knowing that she hesitated shooting, I mean, really??? And yes, Cain will get away, maybe the Spider dies (I hope!) but certanly not him...not yet, maybe not even in the final. |
|
| Hmm so an industrial city is the main setting this time round. The effects that war has on a country can be many but the expansion and creation of slums has to be the most unfortunate one. Schaal's past role really came in handy in allowing her to start bonding with Hank. Still the revelation about him seeing his role of killing the incarnates while they're still human as his final duty was a strong one. The insight into the gargoyle's character though was pretty insightful. Despite being a coward at first it seems he found his calling on the field. The climatic battle sure was a tough one for Cain due to his opponents cunning and his warped sense of justice. Still its unfortunate that in the end the battle was in fact Cain's trap. Overall a strong ep that did well to expand upon Hank's motivations and hidden feelings while also reinforcing the bonds that had been forged between him and Schaal last ep. Im quite curious to see what Cain's plan is. |

| I actually liked this episode. Topher was a beast I actually didn't feel bad for, his sense of justice was quite twisted and his fight with Hank felt dangerous. Not liking Schaal at all right now, she showed so much resolve wanting to kill Hank. But she has shown that she hates the way Incarnates have to be treated, she believes people aren't evil and that they've gone through things in their life that make them that way. I'm pretty sure this is why she has been hesitant to shoot her gun or do much of anything whenever she's in danger. Surprised Hank hasn't gotten angry at her and made her leave, considering how much he has to save her at this point. Hank's a nice guy though and he finally shared what happened in his past to Schaal. Cain is finally making his move, I'm excited to see what will happen and maybe if Schaal will actually do something this time.  |
~ These boys must be protected at all costs ~  |
| This kid saw his chance, and he took it. You can't blame him. |
 |
| Wow Hank and Cain came face to face way faster than i expected. I thght Hank would keep chasing him for several episodes but looks like Cain showed himself sooner. Werewolf vs Vampire ,this stuff never gets old now does it.Also LOL those oppais fully naked, too bad they didnt show em to the viewers :3. |
 |
| I hope Schaal understands Hank and why he is doing this a bit more. No offence but she really is not very helpful. But then again, if she didn't come at the time she did then Hank would've been dead. I hope we see a fight between Hank and Cain next episode. Also, that scene where that little kid took the girl's (can't spell her name) dress off. 😂😏😂😏 |

| LOL, Boy exposing Liza's big melons. Ok, so another Incarnate get's killed by Hank, too bad as one problem ends another one appears and it's Cain with his lackeys and Shcaal was taken hostage . |
| -The military hate thing was kind of interesting. I get that these guys live in slums, and that the war had a huge effect on them, but I don't see why they are so insistent on blaming the military. There's probably a bigger reason, but I couldn't really find it. -It's so weird to see Schaal go from shooting Hank to sewing for him in the middle of the night like his wife in a matter of a few episodes. It would be easy to blame the fast pacing on the show getting a short run, but I've heard in other threads that the manga has bad pacing as well. >Hank: "You have blue eyes." Woooaaah, watch out fellas, we've got a detective! >Liza: "Why don't you discuss it with me? *giggle*" I did not see his reply coming at all. That really took me by surprise. -So Schaal explains her morals for sticking around Hank, but honestly they made me even more confused. She says she still kind of wants to kill him, but she sews his stuff for him and checks on him at night. She's just a dumb character, to be honest. -So wait, the Gargoyle's name is Christopher, but they call him Topher for short? Not even Chris? That's just so funny to me. I'm not even complaining, I like to image the Mangaka knew that Americans shorten names often and thought Topher would be alright, haha. -As soon as Hank was shot with the Godkiller Bullet, I knew there was an asspull incoming. I was hoping I would be proven wrong. I guess if an antagonist incarnate gets shot by one, he can just pull it out? I have a bad feeling that conveniences are only going to happen for the good guys. -Topher's Voice Actor did a good job. >Half spider/half human girl Absolutely based. Overall, it was an average episode, but probably my least favorite so far. I want to see what they do with the main villain. He seems interesting.  |
phantomfandom said: So our girl went from 'you kill my father' to coming into Hank's room at night while he sleep shirtless and sewing his coat? Anyway, why Hank doesn't gone mad yet? Is it to do with his ability can only activate at night so he's 2 times slower at going mad? I was wondering this too. I think that might be the case, but he probably will fully turn eventually. I want to see this series end with Schaal shooting Hank after he turns, but from what I have watched of this Mangaka's works, he does not know how to do endings. _MushiRock11_ said: Pretty dull episode this time around, to be frankly honest.

Here’s to hoping things will only get better from here onwards. I think the only times I have felt real empathy for the incarnates was with Behemoth and Dragon Dad, though overall, it does really suck that they are being used and thrown away, so I feel bad for all of them, even if just a little.

I would be. I don't think any of the main characters are going to die, and I believe that even more with Hank surviving the Godkiller Bullet. |
| Haha, Andy seized an huge opportunity with Liza, I did not expect this show to feature this sort of move. Gargoyle the justice maker finished 6-feet under, obviously. |
 |
| holy liza dem tiddies O.O |
 |
| Pretty good episode. I liked Mr Gargoyle’s code of justice. Next week should have a lot of action. |
| I wish that bullet killed Hank :-* Oh well, I can only wish for the bastard! I guess Schaal is one of those useless female characters that just runs around the MC, mend coats and get save at the end. |

| Got some real shades of Dororo's tone-deaf script nonsense this week with the antagonist du jour being obsessed with justice, so he goes around murdering prostitutes and petty thieves. Then they do the flashback of his backstory and it's him talking about how they need to cleanse the world of everyone born south of their border because they're innately evil. And then another flashback about how pissed off he is that the war ended without the ubermensch completing their racial genocide ok. Nod, nod. Truly this man was a devout believer in justice and righteousness until his soul was twisted, not a racist genocidal wannabe, which makes all the rest of the quibbling over what a tragedy it is exasperating at best. And it's a mystery who it is… right up until he jumps right out in the middle of the street to punish the crime of apple theft. Yeah, definitely the mythical monster lurking in the shadows that nobody but one kid believes exists. So sneaky. Then there's the kid. First he complains nobody's listening to him. Then as soon as someone listens to him, he throws a tantrum and runs off. It's thanks to him that they know where to find the dude… aside from the dude telling them where to find him. Okay, fine. He's there to steal Michelle's gun and force her to show up. Whatever. She spent the whole episode doe-eyed fawning over Hank as we continue to pointedly avoid the question of what makes him so much better than all the others… The others that weren't racist genocidal maniacs to start with I mean. *ahem* Time for Michelle to finally contribute something. Wait, nope. Still just a damsel in distress… and now time to go from damsel in distress to a whole episode of her being in distress. Remember the kid? Well, I guess he was kicked all the way out of the episode. I legitimately hope the writers straight up forget about him. |
| The gargoyle could have easily killed Hank during their first encounter yet he decides to wait until night, being the only moment of the day where Hank can transform into his werewolf self and be a real threat... nice. Nothing much to say, this episode was probably my least favorite one. Though that doesn't say much either since the only moment I felt truly captivated by this show was during the first 10 minutes or so of ep. 1. The interactions were flat as always, the comedy regarding Liza's huge tits being exposed was awful and Schaal's explanation about her way of action is still weak. Ugh anyways, it seems the main plot will start developing from now on so let's see where this will lead us. P.S.: Schaal will fall for Hank, won't she?... |
| I don't know if I'm reading too much into this but I think the flashbacks were implying that Chris's mentality was already warped by the time the war ended. Hence why everyone looked disappointed in his genocidal thinking along with them being casted aside. Maybe it's just wishful thinking and the author does truly have a warped pre 21st century almost nationalist perception of justice. Though I feel no sympathy for Chris as his character was poorly written and wouldn't be surprised if Cain wants to save Hank or some BS like that. The fight and the reveal at the end was entertaining, but the plot lacked the charm of the previous episodes. Though hopefully we get some development from Schaal but I'm conflicted on the dynamic between her and Schaal. I hope she doesn't become some sort of replacement of Elaine for Hank and that she is the one to take him out at the end. |
 |
| Another awful episode and the moment I dropped the show. The gargoyle was mostly on the right except for the useless kid that wanted to protect everyone. Hank was again an evil evil guy and did some awful things. He and the author tried to justify them although it was bs. The little girl is still an useless emotional mess for some unknown reason hanging on Hank (maybe Stickholm syndrome??) . Unfortunately Hank did not die but I will not watch the show anymore in hope he will be killed. And all happened because someone considered it was a good idea to put a woman in charge. Elaine was an idiot not a scientist and Hank did whatever that woman said. In cases such as these you do not kill the persons that have these issues , you isolate and tr to cure them . She even had something to reverse the Incarnate process albeit temporary but no, her only solution was to kill them. Retarded... |

If they play their cards right, that won't happen and she'll end up being a decent character. There's lots of room to give Schaal a good character development and I really hope they'll do that |
| This is one brutal way of going evil. Gargoyle must be stopped before more people are killed. In a way, Schaal is useful this episode. She and the kid distracting the Gargoyle during the church battle gave Hank the time needed to recover. |
| I knew the kid was going to do that. This episode was not that good. Pales in comparison to last week's. |
| Ok, so cool to know that apparently the item that poses the biggest threat against the Incarnates in this world, namely the Godkiller bullet, is a joke, and can easily be pulled out of the body by the wounded Incarnate themselves. The fanservice scene in the beginning felt forced and out of place. Animation is gradually degrading due to poor scheduling most likely. Sigh, and the first episode was so promising.. turns out this is no better than Fairy Gone after all, or maybe it is.. just enough for me not to drop it like i did with FG. |
 |
| So the Bullet Strips them of their power could that also work as their cure? Is Cain's incarnate form a Vampire? is this is a Vampire vs Werewolf fight? |
| I like the concept of the series of a captain killing his own commerades but the execution lacks emotion in my opinion, I don't really care about them because I don't know them at all. The only one that affected me was the dragon (the girl's father) and that one giant monster who wanted to see the sea. The animation and arstyle are nothing too good either. It's not bad, just mediocre |

Didn't really feel like fanservice to me, it was more like cheap humor, It made me laugh a bit though, It wasn't in the middle of a fight or an important scene so it doesn't bother me. But yeah I agree with the rest, it's a pretty mediocre anime, hope it gets better |

Yeah, I thought so, a pretty dumb desition for a series that relays on the past of the characters to make you feel stuff |
| This is a good show. Nothing exceptionally of course. |
 |
| Schaal's role is still ambiguous where it probably should be defined in a short series like this. I'm happy that it feels as if the anime transitioning away from a monster of the week archetype, and that the philosophical conundrum of the 'human vs beast' dichotomy is beginning to advance and develop. |

| Nice to see Cain in action Schaal is useless as always I'm wondering what Cain wants from Hank |
| Schaal is such a useless charcter. Why is she even there? She has a gun but doesn't use it FFS. Now she need 'saving', I hate weak female characters, the only reason to still watch the show is for the woman with the big boobs. Oh at least Schaal can menf cloaths.... |

| uncensored blu ray when??? I enjoyed the concept of this episode better than the execution. from what posters have said, seems like the manga was a more interesting version. Looking forward to seeing more the spider girl... Oh, I hope so |
