THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
A lot of Sheele and Tatsumi bonding this episode. I think this is the first time they've spent more time together since he joined Night Raid. Poor Sheele...her past did not look pretty at all.

As I had thought, Tatsumi using Zank's Teigu would give him X ray vision lmao.


The Prime Minister was pretty priceless to watch this episode. Oh we meet Seryu this episode.

This episode adapted chapter 7 and the first half of chapter 8.

Another good episode. Esdese-SAMAAA! CR subs were fine, but wait what? Coro instead of Koro bothered me a little bit.

The atmosphere was definitely better in this one. There was a little fan survice, but at a more appropriate moment this time.

The first half focused on Schere, I like the way her backstory was unfolded. Her clumsiness and compassion make her a very likeable character. She's not your average meganekko. The scene when Tatsumi was regretting the deaths of Ieyasu and Sayu had enough emotion captured in it, without being too melodramatic. The night scene was also great.

Esdese-sama finally makes an appearance! Not even a second to spare, we got to see her sadistic personality. The seiyuu is fine imo. Can't wait for her to return to the capital though.

Seryuu and Koro also got introduced. HanaKana is doing a great job, as usual. We also got to see how she eventually passed the compatibility test for her living-type teigu... and her overwhelming sense of justice.

Satisfied with this episode, good job White Fox.

What do you think of Esdese's VA? Is it a hit or miss?
well, it's not like she has a lot of lines in this episode.

My.Fucking.Waifu.Is.so.Damn.PERFECT...My body was not ready

The voice, the animation, the character design....HNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGG Esdese-sama <333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

And I can say without shame that when I was reading the manga, Schere was my favorite character at this point in time...I love the fact that she was a natural badass killer but she also has that sweet side to her, and when Tatsumi broke down, I felt his pain, so seeing her comfort him just brought a huge smile to face and I just fell in love with Schere's kindness :'')

Also, Seryu appeared...All of her fans must be thrilled to see their precious "Cute Justice"...Either way it's always great to hear Hana Kana's voice =P

We got some fanservice too, but it was to be expected given the situation but knowing the trolls/haters, you guys are going to bitch about it anyway

And also yet again....No censors ftw, I thought that the scene in the north was going to be slightly censored, but they showed it all :DDDD

Sheele's past was pretty horrible, but she is perfectly calm when shes killing people. Esdeath looks very interesting hopefully we see more of her in the future.

Dang they said the ice woman would take her a year to defeat the northern race and shes already completed her tasks. Shes defintely a dominatrix with a bad ass personality. I knew Tatsumi would run into someone hes going to fight seems to happen in alot of animes. An ok episode felt the last one was better but this wasn't bad by all means.

I'm guessing Seryu is one of the antagonists that manga readers were talking about who is in the grey area and not purely evil? Show is still just about the edgiest thing I've seen but its fun to switch my brain off and watch people spray blood everywhere.

Great episode to prepare us for the fight next week. Sheele was such a badass killer in her past. Esdese's voice was amazing. Definitely brings out her sadist personality. That preview at the end though. Can't wait for next week already.

Well, if the subs say what I thought I saw and she was going to feed her 'pet' some inmates from death row, I imagine she's darker than she appears.

And if her Imperial Arms is really called Hecatonchires, then it should be pretty interesting to see in action.

Great ep. Oh man it seems everyone in Night Raid had some rough times. It was nice to to get more from Sheele's past also. Seryu wow I didn't think that Orge guy had some apprentice. Well things just got more interesting. Also that crazy lady is done from the North that fast. This show is going places and I'm excited to see where it all goes from here.

I don't remember liking Sheere this much in the manga :O She's really cute animated :3
And she was BA in her past XD And the scene when she was hugging Tatsumi during the night was really sweet.

Esdese cameo and HER VOICE IS PERFECT!!! <3<3<3 Dat Sadism Dat OPness >.<!
Ready to cause Havoc and madness soon ^^

Too bad Tatsumi couldn't be compatible with the eye teigu XD He could've become a first rate pervert :P What a view :3

And here comes Seryuu <_< I really didn't recognize her at first XD Yandere Justice mode incoming. Shit is about to go down nxt week.

Well this was uneventful, all we've done is expand a bit on the Teigus introduced more badly written one dimensional characters.
Esdese is defined by her name. Justice girl is exactly that. Schere is just an airhead on anything but killing ofc and sweet(sounds like a yandere doesn't it). And that's all there is to these characters, and it's still trying to show that it's serious with what it mentions, but it really isn't.

3/5 - Meh.

And there she is. Esdese's fans are porbably drooling all over their screens now, lol.
Looking forward to Hana Kanazawa's performance next week.

Aside from that rather uneventful episode. Was fine though.

How 90% of the viewers seem to be reacting to this anime;

I think I'll enjoy this series a little more when all the powerful antagonists start converging and hopefully multiple main characters start getting the axe(and are not instantly replaced)
