What we saw is a new Okarun that has become stronger thanks to the grueling harsh training by Turbo Granny. And now he wants to destroy Evil Eye.

Aira is a cutie and I like her fighting form. Going AOT on the titans!

Sigh can't they just exorcise Jiji?

The episode was ok, but this felt more like a musical episode, so I didn't enjoy it as much compared to the rest. So I gave this one a 3/5, which isn't bad, I guess, but not good enough to have me drooling over it either. At least the last bit was good with Okarun challenging Evil Eye to a fight.

I have to say, though, the only character with brain cells so far is Manjirou, since he's the one who is doing everything that he can to exorcise Evil Eye, and that's the most intelligent thing to do since that mofo is dangerous and he will kill you if you let your guard down. The rest of the characters who don't want to exorcise him aren't using their brains correctly, and they are simply going with feelings here, man fuck your feelings, keeping all of you alive is more important than your feelings.

But we all know how this will play out. Evil Eye will obviously join the good side, but still, it's pretty dumb to keep that dangerous evil spirit around this long.

Not going to lie, this episode fell kind of flat for me. animation good as always but this fight felt more bland and stakeless, didnt feel like okarun really improved but that could just be me. I did get hyped the last 2 or 3 minutes though, I think the next episode will be peak. This episode was good in the way it set up the next episode!

I love this show, but that episode was by far the worst between both seasons. The whole training arc was giving Little Einsteins energy. Run faster, got it! There was no weight behind any of the music and the baddies and their attacks. It all fell flat.

But the return to the gang was fire, Okarun setting up that show down gave me chills!
Let’s goooo!!!!

The fight against the musicians was absolutely insane, Aira's part looked straight from Attack on Titan and Okarun's part animation was also incredible, not to mention the classic music mixed to it. And now we're getting an Okarun vs Evileye fight I can't wait

My favorite of the season so far!! So sweet and the sense of movement and scale they accomplished with the fight are astounding, just love the big operatic sound working with how breathtaking it all looks. Really looking forward to the Evil Eye fight now that Okarun's faster

This series loves classical music. Ode to joy!

It's cool having Aira back in action again. It felt like I was watching attack on titan with how she fought those giant singers.

Time for round 2 against the evil eye!

I had a little snicker I recognized Mozart as who I assumed not by his appearance or anything but his fecal fascination.

Aira and Okarun worked well together even if fairly disorganize.

And ahhhh come on have to wait for next ep right before a fight breaks out

Amazing ep

The battle between the musicians and Okarun and Aira was nonstop fun.

Loved the direction, animation, drawings, and the color usage.

The way that Okarun was able to learn how to fight thru music and beats was pretty cool.

Aira falling more in love with Okarun, oh brother...

Okarun standing on business, Evil Eye not ready for this rematch.

This ep adapted the last few pages of ch 57, 58-59, and left 2 pages of 60 to adapt. While I truthfully thought that it would finish at the end of 61, its fine for hype purposes, but would have been a better place to end.

Saw the trailer and it was fire. It will adapt the last 4 eps pretty well. Stay tuned.

10/10

Going to be an absolute belter next episode.

P.S. Any music buffs know the actuall music used? I'll happily check out any classical music used here. Thanks 😊
@Perfect64

It was stated by Ghost Beethoven on the piano. All composed by him.

1st is Symphony #6 “Pastoral"
2nd is Symphony #9, 4th Movement "Ode to Joy."

The Musician ghosts are as follows:

Piano - Beethoven.
Violin - Mozart.
Cello - Dvorak
Trumpet- Schubert
Clarinet - Bach
Conductor - Karajan

You know an Anime is peak when a monster-of-the-week episode is creative and fun to watch unlike other series. This Anime is already my AOTS weeks ago but every episode is just peak after peak. 10/10

probably the season highlight episode for me, perfection if you ask me and this whole explaining how to fight good (make a good fighting scene) saga has my little college art degree self in ecstacy coz so many shows seem to forget that a good fight scene is less about the flashes but more about creating a beautiful dance, that and the bw with splashes of colour aesthetic always gets bonus points with me. pacing it to classical music was also amazing and imo worked better then some amvcore type song. this is deffinetly one of those episodes I wish didn't end on a cliffhanger coz omg I cannot wait another week to see this fight

Another episode of what on earth is going on. I love it.

As an anime-only, I still don't get the point of the training arc. I assume Okarun got faster, but how exactly? Did this get explained clearer in the manga, or are we about to see his improvements in action? Did they really sneak into school just so Turbo Granny could make a point with a metronome?

Pretty fun episode but I noticed it didn't really hook me like other episodes. I felt that the show could do something really sick with the rhythm gimmick but didn't go all the way, making it feel a little lackluster. Felt like they could do more with it besides action, music in the background, and Okarun 'becoming faster cus he gets the rhythm now', felt kinda egh. But I’m very excited to see him fight Evil Eye next episode.

This is the weirdest (unintentional) parody or satire of the European Union I have ever seen. But seriously, I once again thought that this franchise definitely needs a game adaptation in the form of a fighting game or beat 'em up.

@LordCrueltyV Judging from a number of past segments, he loves music in general. Because he is also very knowledgeable about X Japan and knows the old Ranma opening by heart.

A much better way to use Beethoven's No. 9 than whatever Bye Bye, Earth did last season. Appreciate using so much of the music.

Obviously a diversion, but a weird and fun one. Onwards to something more meaty.

Kids battle the ghost orchestra of classical composers. Ghosts attack them with cursed note projectiles, summon giant opera singers who vomit an army of phantom minions. Very bizarre situation even on Dandadan scale. Despite all that, Okarun finds his rhythm and opening for a decisive strike that banishes the apparitions where they came from. When they return to Grandma's house, Okarun challenges Evil Eye for another duel. Maybe punching will work better than meditation and exorcism.
The episode features plenty of weird, memorable animation and classic music. Unlike in previous action scenes, original compositions remain untouched (except trimming to fit the duration of the fight). Cliffhanger teases a big fight that makes anticipation of next week very exciting. Good stuff.

When Okarun and Aira fought (in this case, Turbo Granny’s form to train Okarun) the spirits born from the fear of world-famous composers/musicians’ photos in the school’s music room, it was such a unique experience to read and see it in the manga.

Now that it’s adapted into an anime, that unique impression has turned into something extraordinary. The battle is blended with stunning visuals, but the best part here is the music—it’s absolutely the highlight. The harmony is so pleasant to listen to.
The song Hunting Soul also makes a brief appearance in this episode.
(I just hope no one claims this song again, and that the studio working on this anime won’t get hit with a copyright strike, hahaha.)

Man what's Dandadan even about. Pretty wacky episode today, and I'm not hating. Okarun is now more locked in than ever, so he's about to see whether he's ALL that yet or not.
