----------------------------------------
Lol Shirashi and his ideas. Not surprised they came up with an idea to take the prison.

A rather tense episode if you ask me. What a surprise for Sugimoto on the other side though. I actually liked the way they used the buildup for the episode up to that point. Good God, some of the characters reactions this episode was intense.

What an episode!

I could tell that the prison infiltration was going far too well for them to actually find Nopperabo so soon, but I didn't expect quite this extent of double-crossing to lead us to that point. Certainly sets us up for an interesting final couple of episodes though.

Well that got really intense, really quickly. This situation has now brought pretty much every major player together, so these final two episodes are going to be exciting to see.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

It is true that they have to skip a lot. I don't know if they know if there's going to be a third cour or not. But I do think that despite those skips, the directing and set pieces have been done better than in the first season tbh. I've enjoyed several episodes tremendously. They manage to capture the strange blend of humour and violence of GK rather well.

True. I still enjoy it as it is but it could have been so much better if they wouldn't rush through the story. I guess they just wanted to reach a certain point to let the season end there.

They didn't leave out anything important to the overall storyline, IMO. Just a lot to flesh out the characters and the world building. Maybe we will get some OVA's.

What we'd learn today about them Ainu's, Kutch, wild Kiwi fruit, salmon berries, well don't we call it raspberries , chitatap for fish chitaptap for wild game or is it just one word for anything that is minced and boiled????

Whoa does Hijikata have an inside man in that prison???

So Inkarmat is the traitor, she sold out the group to the 7th.

What a clusterfuck! Can't wait to see how the battle will play out. Complete madness!

I am so worried about Inkarmat and Tanigaki. I really want them to marry and all, but considering how it was set up so far one of them will almost certainly die and my guess is Inkarmat.

When I read the manga, I didn't cry when Sugimoto and Asirpa got separated because of course, at that time I have no idea that it would be.... but today's episode, I've become a total mess. I cried.

Anyway, that was fast. It felt like everything happened in 5 minutes.

The madmen actually managed to put the Abashiri arc in this season. Very disappointed that they skipped the lightning bandit arc since it was focused on the 7th division, featuring Koito being badass, but I guess the plan was to get to adapt Abashiri no matter what. Still, great episode.

Oh, this episode was so good! The last minutes were great. The whole infiltration sequence felt really tense and it all just got even worse when Tsurumi made his move with that bunch of destroyers.

I wonder how Tsugimoto and co. will manage to escape.

I can't wait to watch the next episode. I'm sure it will be even more exciting than this one.

Would Tsurumi was Asipira because she can prove if Noperabo is her father? Other wise taking her makes no sense.

Yo what an episode though! Hijiikata was the rat!!! Man all I know is to trust Sugimoto from this point out! Everyone else could be rats too! other then Tanigaki he has one mission as well.

Okay animation studio, I get it, it's nighttime out. But do you have to make the lighting so dark that the audience can't see what's going on either??

Anyway, that music at the end when Tsurumi's battleship rolled into town was amazing! Please have a longer version available on the soundtrack!

I'm glad they animated the scene with Hijikata using his sword to chop up dinner. I thought that was hilarious in the manga.

Also Anime only viewers, if you're curious on why there was a baby with Asirpa's grandmother at the beginning of the episode, read chapters 102 to 107. It was a good story arc involving Tsurumi and gang that was unfortunately cut from the anime. I'm hoping they'll make this arc into an OVA.

TOTALLY EPIC. How many betrayals were in there!
Hijikata betrayed Sugimoto, and used him as a freaking bait!
Inkramat betray them all, telling the 7th Division!
We still don't know anything about Kiroranke and Ogata, they must be up to something!

The only good guys in there are Sugimoto, Shiraishi, Tanigaki and Professor Penis!

The tension and hype towards the end of the episode was insane and I'm loving every second of it.

The slow build-up towards the whole group's plan of getting to Nopperabo had worked really well, but I wasn't expecting a body double though. Now Toni's taking Asirpa to the real Nopperabo, Hijikata has wandered off on his own and Tsurumi has made his move with 4 destroyer boats and blowing up the only bridge connecting to the prison.

Every major player has made their move now, including the prison wardens themselves. With Sugimoto trapped with Shiraishi, I do hope those two can get out safely.

The whole plan wasn't the only great part of the episode, though. The chitatap scene with the whole group taking part in chopping up the salmon, including Ogata saying "Chitatap" was amusing and really well done. =)

Best episode so far of season two. It's got me easily hyped for the last two episodes. ^_^

I knew it. Something was wrong due that the infiltration was too easy. So, Inkarmat may be a 7th division spy and Kiroranke is still very suspicious.

The 7th division is here. Shit, I can't wait for the next ep.

Things are gonna get intense since Tsurumi is joining the fray too, but only to capture Asirpa and Nopperabo. That decoy in prison was smart by Inudou.

This sure will get interesting and maybe we'll find out if Nopperabo is Asirpa's father or not.

Another fantastic episode, the party has always seemed off to me, not the kind of people that would work together, so not surprised to see a betrayal, how will they deal with this.

Also loved to see all the human mistakes, a plan shouldn't go perfectly just because it was carefully thought out.

lol I remember the "who are you ppl?" part in the manga where they got caught immediately after so much preparation, it was funnier there because the chapter ended at that part.

Visuals improved here in comparison to the last ~2.
The next episode(s) will be nice and spicy.

Also that Tanigaki and Shiraishi proposal.
