Godly episode. Greatest to me so far. Not just the fan service panties but the battle scenes and comedy were terrific.

Awesome episode again. Damn, this show started out quite mediocre and now it's pretty exciting every week.

Gido fighting almost naked was hilarious. I also loved that face Setsuna made when Eve ran carelessly next to her.

I must admit this is starting to turn a bit Dragon Ballish, with a desperate situation every week that the heroes overcome the next week, but I actually like it that way.

Oh and most importantly: KUCHINASHI SPOKE!

I was seriously starting to think that they weren't gonna get out of that situation, but Blade is just too intense and manly to die this early. And Dr. Willy finally did something! And lol at how they were manhandling and throwing that corpse around the whole ep. Not much respect for the dead in Needless it would seem.

Though I didn't expect them to revive Blade that soon, the part where Eve healed all her (near-)dead comrades was what I expected, knowing Eve's healing powers.

Good call from Blade to have her eradicate the virus itself rather than have her become his own puppet.

Disc was right: Gido's stalling method was ingenious..

Would've loved it if Saten (who doesn't seem to like an unfair fight, given as he pretty much gave the underdogs a chance to retaliate) killed Setsuna, but then again, she wouldn't have that awesome fight with Blade, who finally wised up a bit and actually used his Fragment the way he should.

But the Crowning Moment of Awesome goes to Kuchinashi speaking (while, ironically enough, still using her notebook).

INB4 EPICCCC!!!! oh wait...too late.

Mind blowing episode full of non-stop extreme awesomeness to the max. You think the awesomeness ends, but then no, it goes on, then on, then on and on. Totally awesome episode. 5/5 easily.

The animators really let themselves go this episode. The animation was amazing, all completely fluid during the battles for the entire episode.

The level of animation and of direction was purely fantastic in this episode. It felt much more like that of an experimental movie or OVA than that of a weekly episode. It was extremely impressive. Developments were epic too, the music was perfect and the comedy parts were really nice. Next ep will reveal Cruz's powers seeing the preview. How much cooler can it get?

Typical enemy behavior: take out all the strongest players and the weak ones will form no threat to you. However, the weaklings will ALWAYS find a way to get out of a tight squeeze, by which time stopping them is impossible, no matter how much you beat them up.

Heaven forbid them actually killing them for a change. But, good guys always win, no?

I loved Setsuna's expressions in this episode~ She looked down right PO'd when Eve passed by her to save Seto and the two others.

( Also, I enjoyed her pantsu shots~ I love blue/white stripped panties >w> )

The animation and the art style just had a complete revamp, it fits the series much, much better than before.

Important episodes suck all the budget; thankfully in this case, as this one was the sucker.

Good episode, Saten is obviously playing for himself and finally acting up on it, Blade actually uses his powers instead of taking punches, and the PGS gets theirs asses kicked (actually Setsuna is the only really annoying one, but they all deserve it at this point for taking so much time to defeat). Only bad part is they are still fighting in the Shelter and no way they are leaving it soon; how many is it now, 6 episodes out of 13?

What is Saten's power anyway? We have only seen one technique in episode 1, but the girls were crapping themselves about it.

I LOVE Saten...oh my god..characters like that grab my full attention. He's fucking creepy, madly intimidating..and just...fuck yes.

And lol@Massive slow mo' nose bleed? xD

I know Eve's using that energy drink to her advantage..but if it was me, I'd be scared shitless knowing I had something inside out of my stomach x___X Besides that, she needs to get some new fucking clothes. God dammit. She's twice as bad as Yoko from TTGL.

As soon as Teruyama got up, he went right back down. Such a shame.

This anime has one of the biggest pantie flash fetish's I've ever seen.

And once again..Cruz does absolutely nothing :/ Someone kill him. Well, not really..but make him so SOMETHING..and not just on the last fucking episode =__=

Well, you're partly right here. We know that the good guys always win, especially in shounen anime. But the important thing here is how it was done in this episode.

First, I'd like to describe myself as somewhat of a hater of many shounen manga and anime (though I tend to be good at sticking with shows that I don't end up liking). I often don't often like the direction large portions of the stories in this genre take. This doesn't mean I dislike the whole shounen formula. I think it's awesome when done right (see Gurren Lagann).

Needless always seemed a little different to me, since it seemed to be the kind of show that knew that it should follow the basics of the genre and not become overly repetitive.

But for the past couple of episodes, it seemed like it was heading for more repetitive stuff, and even the fanservice seemed to have mostly disappeared (always a good reason to stick with a show that isn't good otherwise. The ending sequence alone probably gets this show some extra fans).

But this episode was so incredibly, fucking brilliant in its execution. What really makes shounen stories awesome is the suspense of seeing the characters overcome almost impossible obstacles. It was a brilliant choice to make the episode begin with only the 3 weakest characters still around having to fight against a horde of needless.

And the entire direction and animation of the first half of the episode just left me speechless.

Osaka117 said:
I was seriously starting to think that they weren't gonna get out of that situation.


As Osaka says here, it did really almost seem like they couldn't get out of it. We all know good guys triumph here, but I really couldn't see how they would be able to do it. The whole part with Saten coming out of nowhere and throwing Kurumi and Cruz back made go WTF!!! the moment it happened.

And then the whole awesomeness of the second half was a continuation of the awesomeness of the first half. In fact, I'd like to go on the record as saying that I'm a regular watcher of the holy trinity of Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece, and I don't think I ever saw one episode of such magnified quality in those shows. I don't often see it, but this episode was basically a shounen anime clinic, and I know I'll be sticking around for the rest. I even registered here just to rant about this episode.

THIS. WAS. JUST. COMPLETELY. FUCKING. BRILLIANT.

Right. That's the only way to enjoy this. Shut off your brain and enjoy this crazy parody. That said this episode was really better than the previous ones. Especially K's ultimate attack was animated really awesome. Many scenes this episode were made ridiculously cool and the BGM was very fitting, too.
