This season really has some questionable pacing. Another short break on a ship yet they got some battles going on anyways.

Viole seems to the be main objective in this latest arc. Still hard to invest into any character this season but I suppose with how important Viole is, eyes should be on him. That Yama's mad dog might also be worth to keep an eye on.

Might be me but I felt the animation was a little off this episode. Wasn't as fluid and was pretty bland most of the episode.

The episode overall was kind of boring but a decent introduction for some Antagonists.

These episodes seem to start off boring, only to getter better halfway and then end when it's finally good/interesting. Frustrating to be honest.

The background fighting was pretty boring but compared to a still picture, I guess it works.

Just focus on Viole and the gang and ignore everything else.

There was animation in this episode? Feels like there was only 1 minute of animated content at best.

This fight felt very boring tbh. Very static animation.

Definitely more watchable then expected. They learned to not make many moves and tell story true dialog mostly, so it's not so hard to watch.

Next episode is Anaak vs Ran tho, that supposed to be very spectacular battle... sigh... I am ready to be disapointed.

Anyway, remember Prince being one of strongest regulars on 20th floor test? Yeah, they forgot in Manwha too.

What did he say? Depending on others will never make you strong? As he was using light houses his dad's money probably bought. Lol. Anyway, let's go Prince.

Damn this is disappointing cause I thought the first cour animation was ass so that this cour would look amazing and it’s been more of the same if not worse at times. We might be cooked 😭

Pacing feels ass too, like the eps start boring, gradually get better and end right as things are getting really interesting. Didn’t care for the fight at all because of the bad animation, I did laugh my ass off at Bam knocking out his fan club tho.

Endorsi screen time goes brrr. Always good to see my baby onscreen. Looking forward to Anak vs Ran next week hopefully it doesn’t look as bad as this week.

I still don't understand the logic of people who expected second cour to have better animation than the first. It started out being shit and it stayed that way for the whole first cour. Why would it suddenly get better halfway through the season?? Saw many people cope with "Oh, they are just saving animation for workshop arc", bruh, this is basically half of the arc done and nothing has changed at all for the better. That's not how the budget works ;d
This and Frame Lock are the abominations of this season when it comes to animation.

Oof the pacing of this episode was really, really bad. So much focus was put on the Prince and Miseng chapter, but the problem is that the first cour did such a shit job at making the viewers like any of the new characters that any screentime/developments they have feel like filler. The rest of the tournament was speed-run through, but the only part that felt interesting to me was when Viole denied the others from using him as a person of worship.

The Ran and Anaak battle is next. I'd honestly be satisfied if they simply just follow the manhwa exactly and make the fight moving panels like how Blue Lock S2 is animated, but I won't be surprised if they completely butcher the fighting choreography like they did with the Viole vs. Mule Love fight...

I thought this episode looked slightly better than usual but everyone else is saying it looked worse, weird lol, I guess really the only part I’m talking about is the Prince and Miseng bit, I liked it and thought it looked decent, it’s also nice that these two got some focus after being captive for four episodes, but yeah the rest of the episode was the usual way the show looks, and that’s just bad to average lol. I also gotta say the content itself isn’t really that interesting, I don’t care much for the current competition that’s happening, maybe I would if they showed it all properly instead of short snippets, but oh well, hopefully Anaak and Ran will bring me back but I’m pretty much just looking forward to the next event now.

Viole’s bit was pretty good too, I was wondering what his reaction would be to people ass kissing him and it did end up amusing me, bro said fuck that lol, rabbit girl wasn’t too happy about that but Viole is gonna do Viole things whether she likes it or not. The true highlight of the episode tho, Endorsi in a swimsuit again lol, I am appreciative of that at least.

Pacing is garbage. I like the animation. Never seen a rushed episode like this. Rushed af. I'm disappointed. I liked previous 4 episodes but not this one. They could have done a great job. Shame on YOU crunchyroll, Answer Studio.

Maybe I'm crazy, but Miseng and Prince are taller now? I mean that's nice since it has been YEARS now since they got 1st introduced, if no one is gonna change/get older, at least let them do. But again, maybe I'm crazy.

They buffed Endorsi breasts in this episode lol (not complaining tho).

Anaak my beloved ❤️
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~

Lets say it is okey, but i think if the plot would be a bit more connecting with the viewer then i think I would give that anime higher sccore.

Because historical precedent with some series prioritising better arcs.

God, I don’t know who directed this episode, but I think it’s one of the worst in terms of cuts—totally changes poses from one frame to the next with no transition or anything. Looks awful. It was a really boring episode, the only good thing was seeing Endorsi in a bikini again.

The first half was so painful to watch. Did get better later but it's probably because of how bad the first half was.

Endorsi and her bikini probably took all the budget to animate tbh.

Endorsi last-minute fanservice is carrying this horrendous show like crazy 🙏

But seriously, first stage of this Workshop Battle and animation already hit rock bottom. And next episode is the Anaak vs. Killua supposedly hyped rematch... oh boy.

Episode was a 0/10, until Endorsi appeared, and That marvellous close-up frame. 10/10. Nothing more to say.

MAL is so slow. well, I'm not waiting. I do not accept those "we wait until the official statement to clarify the true" BS!
I just google it myself and the Twitter is reliable enough. the anime will have 13 episodes.
I need to know this season how many episodes each anime to put down in my excel and I don't to write ? as unknown how many episodes.

Okay so Misang was so desperate to get stronger that she allowed the puppet girl to give her strength, which reminds me of how Vegeta allowed Babidi to amplify his power in DBZ.

Luckily Wangnan, Prince, and Hon Akraptor were able to get the flowers off of her.

We also got to see this Varagarv, who is known as the stronger E rank regular, and his display showcased just that. He completely clapped that one dude and took his head off. It seems that he’s after Viole, so we’ll see how that goes.

Speaking of, it seems that Anak has caught on to Viole’s true identity, and it seems some non human figure has decided to go after Viole as well.

Man what kind of chaos will we see next?
